BGM-Super Smash Bros. for Wii U OST-Menu

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! Sounded like Ruby's gang had some fun at the stadium against Lucina's team. Though the Grandmaster was trying to be sneaky, it seemed everything turned out okay and Ruby got a Keystone. Just four more left out in the open. Makes me wonder Goblin and Eggman been up to lately.

Battle 6: Deadly Alliance

Battlerealm

BGM-Sonic Battle OST-Dr. Eggman

"Pathetic creatures! Away with you!" Green Goblin blasted a few Adaptoids that ambushed him into smithereens after he got transported somewhere in the Battlerealm. The goblin madman punches and crushes and burns all Adaptoids that believe they could challenge his might when they are clearly outmatched. Goblin punches a fiery fist melting through an Adaptoid's chest then rips it to two while laughing madly, "Such worthless piles of garbage. It doesn't matter what power you copied, I will ALWAYS reign supreme!"

Goblin turns around to his begrudging associate/teammate in this twisted tournament, Neopolitan, is also just done clearing up her side of Adaptoids using just her umbrella. "It's about time you finished up, Neo. Come. We must find my associates. There isn't much time to waste." Goblin ordered her. Neo replies with a silent, cold, serious glare at the madman, for obvious reasons regarding their past relationship when Goblin tried to take over Remnant, "DON'T give me that look. You're alive again, aren't you? If you want to stay that way, you will follow me! Otherwise, FORGET seeing your idiotic boss, Torchwick, ever again!" He laughs, scaring Neo for a bit before silently raging, but gives up and relent to his orders. "That's a good girl. Now come and let us make haste." Osborn grinned maliciously, walking ahead of Neo to search for his new friends.

Knowhere, Battlerealm

BGM-Mega Man Star Force 3 OST-Dealer Hideout

Goblin and Neo traveled to the Knowhere dimensional area, the severed head of an ancient Celestial that serves as a mining colony and a trading outpost for various alien races, but right now simply acts as another empty arena. While Neo admires walking inside the dead head of a space god, Goblin hears some fighting close by and recognizes the grunts of two of the fighters. "There they are." He smiled. Goblin walks over to an edge to see the two villains he's been searching for, the King of the Koopas, Bowser and the Great King of Evil, Ganondorf, both fighting off a swarm of Adaptoids that ambushed them. Goblin grins as he fires up some fireballs and throws them at some of the Adaptoids, allowing the evil kings to easily finish off the rest before they turn around to meet Goblin and Neo.

"Goblin!" Bowser noticed the grinning Goblin.

"Greetings, gentlemen, I am so glad I found you." Goblin grinned.

"What do you want?!" Bowser demanded.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten? We were in the middle of an important business meeting before we got separated for the tournament." Goblin replied, continuing to smile as he and Neo drop down to personally greet their new allies.

"Oh yeah. Kinda did forget. What were we talking about?" Bowser asked the goblin king.

"A plan to win the Contest, and it'll require the three of us, plus Eggman." Goblin answered.

"I don't mind a team-up to win this stupid Contest, but I ain't doing it with Ganondorf here! When you aren't looking, this guy will pull out a gun and shot you into a trophy!" Bowser growled, referencing a certain event recently when worlds were going "taboo" that led to Ganondorf betraying Bowser for his own selfish goals.

"The past is the past. For my plan to work, we must work together. Anyone that misbehaves will permanently be dealt with by my hand." Goblin threatened menacingly, glaring his flaming eyes at anyone that even thinks of betrayal.

"Humph! I'm not so easy to be dealt with." Ganondorf scoffed with his arms crossed, having nothing to fear thanks to his near-immortality granted possessing the Triforce of Power.

"We have that in common, and I don't need a magic triangle to accomplish that," Goblin quipped with a grin that he too is immortal, "Anything magic could do, science could do better. Just a few doses from my OZ Formula mixed with ISO-8. The Iso-Oz Formula. You wouldn't believe the power it has granted me. Even in this dimension, my power continues to evolve in ways you couldn't imagine. But, it alone won't be enough to vanquish our enemies."

"What is this 'Iso-8' you keep spouting?" Bowser asked, blissfully unaware the properties of this dangerous substance.

"A cosmic substance from my dimension that interacts with our powers in mysterious ways and will be the key to our victory. But enough talk. Where is Dr. Eggman? We cannot work without him." Goblin asked the whereabouts of his villainous partner for this adventure.

"Looking for me?"

The villains turn around to see another Adaptoid approaching them, but something about this one seems different. It's colored red and gold, but more importantly, it has the Eggman Empire symbol for its face and the voice it's speaking sounds like the doctor himself.

"Did Eggman get teleported inside that robot?" Bowser asked idiotically.

"No, you fool! I reprogrammed one of the Adaptoids to come and find you! I'm speaking wirelessly from my current base!" Eggman spoke through the "Egg Adaptoid".

"Quite impressive, doctor. Where are you hiding at the moment?" Goblin grinned.

"At an Oscorp Laboratory facility. My Egg Adaptoid will lead you there." Eggman replied.

"Mwhahaha, perfect! We'll meet you there really soon." Goblin laughed.

"Halt, villains! You four aren't going anywhere!" A fierce female voice stopped the villains from going anywhere until she made her appearance. Landing across them was the one that called them out, Corrin, a Hoshidan princess raised in the kingdom of Nohr, and she's not alone. With her is also the water-frog Pokemon, Greninja, a surviving Sheikah ninja, Sheik, who is also an alternate dimension Princess Zelda in disguise, and for whatever reason, a female Wii Fit Trainer.

"More of the Collector's pawns!" Ganondorf recognized their opponents are from the Collector's team.

"Move, peons! We don't have time for trash like you, unless you're eager to get burned!" Goblin threatened Corrin and her group.

"Never! Not until you surrender your Keystone or suffer the consequences!" Corrin retorted, holding her legendary katana, Omega Yato, prepared for battle against Goblin's team.

"Osborn! You must protect my Adaptoid from those bothersome heroes or I won't be able to lead you to my base!" Eggman instructed Goblin to protect the Egg Adaptoid from the heroes.

"Just stay back, doctor, and enjoy the show. All worlds have such fools who call themselves 'heroes'. I will eliminate them all!" Goblin declared, turning up his heat for a burning fight.

BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds OST-Theme of Dormammu

"Fear me, miserable worms, who wants to die first by the hands of the great Goblin King!? Let's start with you, little girl! I chose you as my first victim!" Goblin points at Corrin, who prepares herself for his wrath. Goblin charges his right fist with fire and pounds the ground forming multiple fire pillars to force his opponents to scatter and run. He lunges to strike Corrin but was caught surprised when she turned into a water dragon to counter his attack, slamming the ground that erupts a surge of water to blast the fiery goblin. Corrin follows up with multiple slashes until Goblin had enough and fiery punches her through an abandoned market shop.

"Interesting. You're not completely human. I look forward to dissecting you, after I have defeated you!" Goblin grinned to the half-human, half-dragon princess.

"I am a princess, not some lab rat!" Corrin retorted, striking her blade on his blocking arm.

"Does it matter, considering you'll be DEAD?" Goblin countered, blasting flames that knocks Corrin back. She transforms her left hand into a dragon mouth to fire balls of water. Goblin simply retorts with a beam of fire from his mouth, blasting through the water balls and forcing Corrin to cut through the flames with her blade. She then breaks free from his flames to hop through the air while morphing her arm into a spear to strike diagonally down at Goblin. He managed to avoid her move before it could connect and grab her arm spear to slam her repeatedly on the ground with his demonic strength while laughing like a madman, "MWAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Goblin is holding his own against Corrin for now. The same could possibly be said for Bowser and his watery opponent, Greninja. The koopa king locks his fire breath against the ninja frog's Hydro Pump with neither fighter gaining an advantage. "No stupid ninja frog could EVER beat the king of the Koopas!"Bowser said arrogantly. Amidst the clash, Greninja silently prepares his moving shadow behind Bowser and teleports there while the koopa king thinks he roasted the ninja when instead he dropkicks his back. Greninja jumps high into the air throwing rapid-fire water shurikens at Bowser. The koopa king hides in his spikey shell to protect himself, and when the coast was clear, he jumps high to with a smile to grab the shocked ninja to belly slam him as they crash onto the ground. Bowser chuckles believing he crushed Greninja behind his belly, but as he gets up, his faces immediately turn shock to see he somehow only slammed a log. Greninja substituted himself with the log to catch Bowser off-guard for a flying counterattack kick when he reappears from smoke.

Bowser hisses angrily at Greninja, "I will NOT get beaten by a frog!"

With Ganondorf, his opponent is a little tricky, as expected from the ninja master, Sheik. She throws a grenade at the Gerudo, who easily deflects it with one swing from his hand to explode elsewhere and fire a dark energy bolt at Sheik, who dodges his attack with a simple vanish trick and now hides somewhere in the shadows. "You can't hide from me, Sheik, or should I refer you as Zelda? It's quite interesting to face an alternate dimensional version of the princess in her ninja disguise while another Zelda is forced to work on my team. Can't imagine how much it pains the both of you?" Ganondorf taunted with a grin.

From the shadows, Sheik throws needles at her demon opponent, who blocks her pitiful attacks with the palm of his dark powered-infused hand, but this gave her the chance to attack him from the opposite side while he wasn't looking, flip-jump kicking off his back before throwing more needles and a few grenades to somewhat hurt the demon king. Ganondorf leaps upwards to grab Sheik and discharge electricity on her before throwing her through a building.

Neo is probably the only one having an easy time with her opponent, but it's probably not a big deal when your opponent is the Wii Fit Trainer. "Come on, now, stretch those shoulders!" Wii Fit Trainer outstretched her arm to attack Neo's blocking umbrella. The silent enforcer raises an eyebrow since she wasn't expecting her first real opponent in this Contest to be a weird fitness trainer and was hoping to fight someone more "fierce". Neo doesn't even need to use her illusionary Semblance to overpower Wii Fit Trainer, just incredibly fast strikes from her sheathed umbrella and a simple leg sweep that launches Trainer to the air before finishing her off with a dropkick, that's it.

"YAAAAAAARGH! I will dispose of you! No dragon could ever overcome a goblin!" Goblin roared, throwing brutal flaming punches that Corrin could barely withstand even though she's block them with her sword. She temporarily transforms into her dragon form to break free from his vicious onslaught to slash him up a bit before stabbing him in the chest. Corrin smirks thinking she won only to be surprised Goblin is still alive because of his immortality. Ragingly annoyed, Goblin brutally slams her head to eat concrete and charges up a mouth blast. "BURN!" He said before roasting her. Luckily, Corrin's head turned all dragon to counter with a point-blank water blast, causing an explosion of smoke from their collision and knocking the two away from each other. Goblin snarls while trying to think of a new strategy. That strategy came from an exposed electric cable sitting not far from the goblin, giving him a creepy smile on his face.

"I'll settle this here, demon!" Corrin runs up to deliver the finishing blow with her sword.

"I'm not just some demon…" Goblin quickly grabs the electric cable to intercept Corrin and electrify her, causing her to scream in pain while he says, "I am the GREEN GOBLIN! You will bow before your king!" Goblin throws a mighty flame punch that blows Corrin through the colony of Knowhere, smashing onto Greninja while he was fighting Bowser, and towards Sheik during her battle with Ganondorf. The ninja saw her teammates come flying towards her so she tried to escape, but Ganondorf laughs as he ain't having any of that and grabs her by the neck, throwing her to intercept the other two and knock all three of them to the ground, weak but still conscious, for the next few seconds.

"Here comes the Bowser Bomb!" Bowser laughed in the air and does a ground pound on top of the three, defeating Corrin's team as a whole.

"Ahahahaha! Did you really think you had a chance?! No one can match my power! Hahahaha!" Goblin cackled.

"Not too shabby, Goblin. Your 'Iso-Oz Formula' has proven it has potential." Ganondorf complimented the goblin, showing some respect for him.

"Hah! You haven't seen nothing yet. I can still evolve into greater power. But that's for another day. Eggman! Are you still alive?" Goblin called out to the Egg Adaptoid, walking out of its hiding spot.

"If you're referring to my Egg Adaptoid still functional, then yes." Eggman replied.

"Good. Now hurry and lead us to your base and have everything prepared." Goblin ordered.

"What about these chumps? We're just gonna leave them alive?" Bowser referred to Corrin's unconscious team.

"They are not important to us. We need all the contestants fighting each other while not batting an eye on our plan. C'mon! We've wasted enough time already! Let's move out!" Goblin ordered, leading his team to follow the Egg Adaptoid to Eggman's current base in the Battlerealm.

Oscorp Lab, Battlerealm

BGM-Breath of Fire III OST-Dragon Slayer

"Home sweet home but not home. How I've missed this place." Goblin smiled as his team enters an Oscorp Lab that was brought into the Battlerealm and now acting as their base of operations, totally upgraded thanks to Eggman tech. Speaking of Eggman, the mad scientist was typing on a computer when he noticed his allies have finally arrived.

"Ah. You're all here. It's about time." Eggman grinned.

"Had a little delay. Love the upgrades to my lab, doctor. It'll make things SO much easier." Goblin smiled creepily.

"Alright, start talking! What the heck is going on that we all need to be here?!" Bowser asked, having grown impatient and annoyed to all this secrecy coming from the Goblin and Doctor. Neo looks around the lab for a bit until something caught her eyes in amazement. "Hmm? Saw something?" Bowser asked the silent enforcer. She points to a weird broken black orb with green lines of magical symbols running around it, floating inside a liquid tube. "What the heck is that thing?" Bowser asked, confused but a bit intrigued like Ganondorf on the story of the "black orb".

"Ah. Glad you caught that. Eggman. We can have a private talk here, yes?" Goblin grinned.

"I've cloaked our signals before you entered. We're completely invisible to the Elders and the Hands, for a brief moment, so I recommend we make this quick before arousing suspicion." Eggman answered.

"I take it this 'plan' of yours doesn't want the Elders to intervene." Ganondorf guessed correctly.

"Of course. Not until we overthrow them." Goblin admitted, shocking the other three villains that he and Eggman plan to overthrow the Elders and the Hands.

"What?! How?! I don't know much about those guys, but they seem unbeatable!" Bowser retorted.

"For now, yes. But once Abyss is revived, they won't stand a chance." Goblin proclaimed.

"Abyss?" Ganondorf questioned who this "Abyss" character is and why their name alone sounds powerful.

"That is the creature's body right there, weak and broken! Almost useless!" Eggman pointed to the "core" of Abyss before explaining the story of Abyss, "I've dug up research about this legendary creature, once forgotten by time and believed to be just a fairy tale. A creature of godlike power, born in ancient times in an era where magic prospered. Abyss was a forbidden weapon sealed away in an underground temple where it spent untold centuries in a deep sleep. They say once it's power is awakened, it would bring the world, potentially the universe, back to primordial times, killing all life in the process. Abyss is something akin to entropy incarnate. A fabled monstrosity."

"Not until recently," Goblin spoke up after Eggman, "A few years back, Abyss was awakened in my world and almost destroyed it. It took the combined might of heroes from TWO universes, mine and another, to stop it. In the end, Abyss was defeated and it's broken core was cast out to sea, never to be seen again, until I gave Eggman the coordinates where to find its broken core in hopes of reviving it to achieve our mutual goal of world domination."

"Of course, things didn't go as planned," Eggman continues, "It's usually a certain blue rat and his bug friend that would intervene, but this time it was the Collector and Grandmaster. They kidnapped us for their Contest just when I found the core. Really annoying. Don't you just hate it when you're in the middle of scheming for world conquest to suddenly get captured to participate in a life-and-death tournament in the nexus of all realities?!"

"It's a first time for me…" Bowser quipped.

"This was never part of our agenda, but we decided we could use this to our advantage. If we revive Abyss, we can take the Iso-Sphere for ourselves. Gain the power of gods and take control of this Battlerealm!" Goblin said, raising his clenched fist.

"How do you suppose you revive Abyss? It looks like the heroes did a number on it." Ganondorf asked.

"I told you before. Iso-8 is the key, and this dimension is LITTERED with it to the point of SATURATING the other contestants, incubating it in their bodies as they battle in the arena! We'll be stealing their 'fighting Iso-energy' and use it to revive Abyss!" Goblin explained.

"But will we gather enough before the tournament ends, and if Abyss DOES get revived, what's to say we can't control it? Have you thought that far?" Ganondorf asked.

"You underestimate our genius!" Eggman grinningly retorts. "The Keystones, funny enough, are the KEY," He says as Goblin shows them his green Keystone that was given to him before the tournament began because he's a Summoner, "They hold quite a lot of Iso-energy. If we collect all eight, Abyss will most SURELY be revived with enough strength to counter the Elders! And best of all, it'll be COMPLETELY under our control!"

"How?" Bowser asked.

"Because I'M the Summoner!" Goblin smiled. "To win the Contest, the Summoner of the team must hold all eight Keystones as they are ONLY designed to respond to them! Implementing them into Abyss and I'll have FULL control of its actions! My personal god of destruction, working as my slave!" He finished as he walks into the upgraded armory to equip himself for the venture ahead.

"How about it? Want to join us in achieving ultimate power? Power to eradicate any obstacle and nuisance without trying, like a red plumber or an elf holding a magic sword?" Eggman slyly convince the two most evil villains of their own dimensions by bringing up their arch-nemeses.

Bowser laughs happily, "After what you said, how can I say no?! No way I'm missing this! You got yourself a deal!"

Ganondorf shows off a little smirk, "It does sound a little interesting, and I have been getting tired of being imprisoned. Sure. Let's try out this scheme of yours."

Neo doesn't say anything, as expected, but it looks like she's on board as she really doesn't seem to have any other choice. "Glad you're all aboard." Goblin said as he walks out of the armory in new fancy battle armor upgraded with Eggman tech. His new Goblin Armor is reminiscent of his classic green and purple costume, back when he wasn't a monster, but without the silly hat and with metal armored plating. In addition, he also wears a purple cloak and rides once again on a Goblin Glider to make flying around the Battlerealm so much easier. Classic Goblin and Ultimate Goblin. The tech and fire. The best of both worlds. Fitting for a Goblin King.

Goblin shows off his right hand forming a fireball that looks creepily similar to his classic pumpkin bombs, "Come on! We have Keystones to collect, and godlike power to achieve! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

BGM End

KFX Here: I guess you could say that wraps up Act 1 for this story. The mystery villain I teased last chapter was actually Abyss from Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the final boss of that game. Didn't see that coming? I guess you could also count Abyss as both a Marvel villain and a Capcom villain. So for the next few chapters in "Act 2", we'll be about the heroes investigating the Battlerealm and its secrets. I've already made some teases and foreshadows already so look forward to the revelations.

Question of the Chapter: Are you intrigued to learn more about the Battlerealm?
