Smash HQ - Holding Cells - 6 AM

Heavy Rob units entered the underground holding cells of the HQ, their green reinforced metal bodies taking tactical positions to pick up the Invader. However when they opened the cell room they were greeted by an unconscious Snake and an empty cell. They rushed to assist the downed champion and reported this in to the main Rob unit, who was up at the comms tower preparing the daily missions and patrol routes for the champions and guardians. Snake came through and asked "What time is it?"

The reinforced Rob unit replied in a deep and ominous tone " 6 AM on the dot." Snake ran his hand over his face and through his hair, the feeling of genuine failure plowing through him as he thumbed his radio "Rob, get all units and patrols on high alert, the Invader escaped three hours ago and could be on the run or hiding. All champs and guardians have to know this, we have ascended from code yellow to code Orange." Rob however looked over at master hand, awaiting his orders. He just floated there, thinking if he should allow the others to find out.

Eventually he simply answered with "Proceed." making Rob click up all the radio signals for every champion and guardian. Rob made sure everyone was listening and reported "We have an emergency, code orange. Description: Woman in her mid twenties with long messy red/maroon hair, pale white skin, wearing a nun like tunic with a white apron over it and a red/maroon dress under. This woman is extremely dangerous, to the point we demand you avoid her making physical contact with you. And, this is serious, she might seem like a good person, she might act like it, but she is a danger to the citizens."

At this point all the Champions and Guardians that were preparing to leave their homes remained silent, this was the first time they had to deal with someone within the walls of the city. Many champions ran to prepare for what they called "The Hunt" with some people that refused to be guardians even coming to help, mainly Travis Touchdown, Joshua Fireseed, and Conker. Rob handed these new hired arms a radio and badge, signaling that they were under Smash authority, protected them from any questioning and allowed them to use the equipment at the HQ.

Smash HQ - Medical Ward - 6:20 AM

Aeon yawned as he awoke from an uncomfortable sleep, he was sent to his room after his little disappearance and kept there for the night via guards and the doctor himself. However it was already morning and had to get to work, he had only one day to get better in combat and he needed to use all the time he had. He looked around the room and noticed something important, the digital calendar. He walked up to it and couldn't believe what day it was, July 30th 2018, his birthday.

He could remember afew of his birthdays with striking vividness, how on his 8th birthday he was given a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World from his dad. On his 10th birthday he got a Nintendo DS with a bundle of games, his 16th birthday he got a 3DS XL two days after it came out. All the while on each birthday he would be allowed to play with his brother, sisters, cousins and friends until midnight. But now, he didn't have them, he was alone in a world he called paradise, but unable to share it with anyone.

He sighed, picked up his present and left the room, walked through the halls until he found Dr. Mario working on some forums for a patient. Aeon walked up and asked "Ummm do you still have my medical files? I haven't filled my day of birth yet." The doctor raised a brow and asked "Day of birth?" as he pulled out a note pad and pen. Aeon simply said "July 30th 1996." Mario looked and simply said "Happy Birthday... If you are feeling better you may leave, but don't go getting injured, i mean it this time."

Aeon nodded and left through the back, where he quickly hurried to the fountain in search of the woman. He sighed when he found nothing but did see something on the fountain edge. He walked up to it, a lute with a note between the strings and neck. Aeon picked it up and red the note:

"Meet me at the top of the west City walls at sunset, bring my lute."

Aeon looked at the instrument and nodded, carrying with him as he hurried into the HQ. After walking through the main hall he found Corrin F hurrying up to him.

She looked at him and noticed his present and the lute, then said "Luigi wants us at his mansion by seven, let's go." Aeon was about to ask why, but Corrin simply turned and walked towards the dispatch room. This room had the Stage Select machine that allowed champions and guardians to reach any specific place in an instant. Corrin found Lucas waiting for them, his expression showing his drowsiness as he waited. Corrin picked up the boy and carried him on her back as he fell asleep again, only saying "I told him to not come so early.."

Both Corrin and Aeon stepped onto the pad as she punched in Luigi's Mansion on the selection screen, withing a minute the pad lit up and instantly placed them on the path at the bottom of the hill in front of the mansion. But at this point Little Mac crashed into them and caused them all to fall, with Louis arriving a moment later on his bike. He looked at the image before him, Mac face first in the dirt, Lucas on Corrin's back and Corrin ontop of Aeon. Louis rolled his eyes and spoke up to them as the sun rose in the distance "Come on kids, stop messing around."

Smash HQ - Comms Tower - 7 AM

"Stay at the mansion... Yes you can go to Evershade whenever you need to, but don't come through town... Yes use the direct method... Bye Luigi, be careful." Mario finished his call with Luigi as he made his way back to the main meeting the heads were having, Rob and Mr. G&W already talking while Metaknight waited. Mario was still in his tux as he spoke up "Alright, who set off code orange?" Coming out of thin air was Master Hand, stating "I did... And for good reason."

Mario frowned and asked "Well i got a problem too, mind if i ask what the cause of the code is?" Rob answered Mario by placing the footage of the gardens with the Woman before she was captured and stated "She is an Invader... She has deleted fifteen civilian workers and is currently on the run." Mario looked at her then asked "How did she end up here?" Everyone looked up at Master Hand as he sighed and pulled them all to Subspace and beyond, to the point that the entire Nintendo Universe was in a sphere, along with other spheres in the distance.

Mario looked at the sight before them and asked "What is this?" Master Hand finally explained to them "As you know the worlds of Nintendo are all now in one massive universe, making it the largest in the subspace plain." They all looked around and did notice that it was larger than the others, leading to Master Hand continuing "Now... We have some champions from other spheres... I will use sonic as an example. When we all were fighting taboo he found us among the subspace and managed to enter our world from his sphere..."

Mario remembered the battle, it was just him standing and Taboo was about to finish him off, then Sonic came in and saved him. Master Hand proceeded with his explanation "Now, that time we were spread out thin and our world was practically nothing.. So it was easy for someone to just run in and us not notice. But now because there are so many other worlds connected to ours by one champion we have been having... Breaches..." Master Hand motioned over to the Enix-Sphere, connected to Nintendo by a single thread, Cloud, but it was also the closest.

Master Hand opened his hand and showed this exact place 3 weeks ago, the Enix Sphere grazed the Nintendo Sphere and three small dots breached the exterior Subspace Layer of the sphere. Metaknight now spoke up "Wait, you mean to tell me that our world..?" Master Hand nodded and finished for the small knight "Yes... We accidentally pulled the Enix sphere close and with that three unknown "Invaders" crossed into our world... One was a simple enemy, the most common breach... The second one is this woman... But the third has yet to appear..." The champions remained silent as Master Hand took them back to the Comms room.

Mr. G&W looked up at Master Hand and asked "So why is it we hunt them? I mean if there is one of their world's champion here, then they shouldn't be a problem." Master Hand lowered his voice and answered "Their Sphere is like ours... A large sphere comprised of many worlds... The breach isn't just from the champions world... It could be from a world that has never been on a Nintendo platform... And because of this the npc's or civilians existence doesn't know how to react to this unknown entity... And takes any physical contact as damage..."

Rob now finished the explanation in a simpler version "Think of it like a computer program that is trying to run a executable that wasn't designed for it, when it comes into contact with it the executable the computer uses all it's resources to run it, but ends up damaging it's software, and hardware on extreme cases." Metaknight looked at the woman then stated "Does she even know?" Master Hand replied with "No... As far as she knows she is at a different world altogether and kills anyone she comes into contact with. Which is why we have to find her and send her back."

Mario watched the Video footage replaying on the monitor then spoke up "We must find her."

Luigi's Mansion - Lobby - 7:30 AM

Luigi was walking back pacing back and forth in the lobby as he slowly started succumbing to paranoia, his worst fear coming to town for a festival he was already planning to enjoy. He had Aeon and the others go to the dining room for breakfast as he discussed her arrival with Mario. Luigi was hitting his head with his right knuckle as he started thinking on what to do.

At this point a pair of arms wrapped around Luigi's frame as he froze in place, until Melody spoke up "Why are you scared Luigi?" Luigi relaxed in her embrace and replied in a low tone "A demon from my past has come to haunt me..." Melody went through Luigi and floated in front of him asking "Who is this person...? A woman..?" Luigi tensed up and nodded, making Melody look at him and ask "...Ex?" Luigi shook his head and responded with "We never started... But she thinks we have been a thing since we met... She scares me.."

Melody held Luigi's hand and smiled, only saying in a warm and harmonic tone "If she tries to take you... I will drag her to hell. You are My plumber." Luigi smiled abit and nodded, before remembering he had to train Aeon for tomorrow. Melody watched him panic and run to the dining room where he found everyone enjoying a fruit based breakfast, except for Louis who was expecting something abit more on the heavy side. Aeon sat next to Lucas who asked "So what's today's training gonna be about?"

Louis picked up an apple, one of the few things he accepted no matter what, and explained "Today Aeon has to learn everything, timing, evasions, attacking and so much more." He took a bite and looked at Aeon and continued "You are strong son, but you need to work on three big things: Cardio, Reflexes, and Risk. You gotta know when to jump, when to strike and when to retreat." Corrin nodded as she finished cutting up a banana up and serving it in a bowl full of other fut up fruits for Lucas, then added "We need you to learn how to fight like an actual fighter... Not a brawler."

Aeon nodded at this then got up, saying "Alright, I'll meet with you guys at the front yard in a minute, gotta get dressed." They nodded and watched Aeon leave, as they continued eating they turned on a radio to listen to the early morning guardian show. It usually consisted of the best guardians and any news reports of the night shift, along with any events of the day, they listened as the DJ spoke up "Good morning Smash Guardians! Hope you all are enjoying this fine fine fine summer morning! I know i am, your one and only Jimmy Thang!"

Little Mac turned down the volume as they all tuned in to the show "Now i don't like repeating news, but it's been requested so much by all those lovely señoritas, but the new Guardian in town has really left a first impression yesterday, clearing the W-S-C like an obnoxious girl holding the M-I-C! Those ink poopers never stood a chance! And neither did their big mama! And to make today even better for him, according to our updated file on him, it seems today is his Birthday! Happy 22nd man, and hope you keep stacking them years. In recent news we have an emergency bulletin-"

Everyone looked at each other as Mac turned the radio off, all genuinely surprised to find out it was Aeon's birthday. Luigi simply asked "Soooooooooooo we gonna train?" Little Mac nodded as he took his plate to the kitchen then hurried up to the front yard and started his warm-ups. Corrin also nodded but stayed with Lucas, making sure the boy had his breakfast. Luigi took a banana, peeled it and took a bite, asking "Meet you outside?" Both nodded and watched Luigi leave to prepare himself.

Meanwhile Aeon was coming back down from his room in a new set of clothes, bandaging his hands and forearms then rushing to the front door. Big Mac was doing his regular "Warm-Up" consisting of 100 push ups, abdominals, and jumping jacks. Louis walked up to him and simply said "Alright, let's start you off easy, give me fifty push ups, jumping jacks and one hundred abdominals, go!" Aeon nodded and started with his warm up, going through the push ups first. At this point Lucas and Corrin arrived, finding both guys already preparing, and eventually Lucas joined in, only given twenty-five of each as his warm up while Corrin got seventy-five of each.

Peach's Castle - Gardens - 8 AM

Peach was tapping her heel impatiently as she waited for Daisy to arrive. Peach was already nervous enough with having to prepare for the festival, but now she had to worry about her cousin being here doing god knows what. Peach saw Daisy's Power Flower kart coming in with Daisy driving full 200cc then stopping inches from Peach. Peach stood there, heart pounding and palms sweating as she watched Daisy jump out her kart only wearing a pair of orange shorts that reached her mid-thigh and a white singlet with a flower on the chest.

Peach simply gave Daisy her best smile and greeted her with "Welcome to the Castle, glad to see you are-" But Daisy interrupted her by hugging her tightly and yelling "Glad to see you too cousin! It's been way to long! Now where are we going? Mall? Restaurant? You name it." Peach was being suffocated as Daisy hugged her tighter, but eventually let go and let the princess breath. Peach took a moment, but replied with "First of all... That hurt... And second i can't go out, i have to help in preparing for tomorrow's festival."

Daisy groaned and replied to that with a loud "BOOOOOOOORING! What happened to you girl? I remember you used to be fun, always going out, doing what you wanted. What happened to that Peach?" Peach rolled her eyes and made her way to the Castle, responding to Daisy with "I grew up, daddy had to retire so i assumed alot of responsibilities." Daisy followed and asked "Yeah, like what? Signing papers?" Peach frowned and corrected "Those "papers" are what make sure the people of my kingdom don't go hungry, makes sure they get a good education and makes sure wars don't break out between our kingdoms. So yes Daisy, i sign alot of papers."

Daisy groaned and complained "Damn girl, you sound like dad..." Peach shuttered at the image, only saying "Ewww." making Daisy chuckle then ask "Alright, that's enough politics for now... Where is Luigi? In his room?" Peach remained silent until they were in the main hall then answered "Luigi is working Daisy... He has moved on." Daisy frowned and corrected "We didn't break up... Just took a break, that's all." Peach sighed and looked at Daisy with a frown, seeing her frowning back.

Daisy sighed and backed down, only asking "Fine.. When does he come back from work?" Peach smiled and replied in a cheeky tone "Well he doesn't live here anymore, he has moved somewhere else and i haven't asked him for his address... So sorry Daisy." Daisy groaned then asked desperately "Fine! Got any areas in this castle where i can crash? I need to relax after driving all morning along side an entire Army.." Peach sighed and answered with "Your room is still unmoved, and yes.. I added a balcony so you can smoke.." That last detail made Daisy perk up and smile.

West Smash City Outer Wall - Mushroom City - 10 AM

The streets were filling up with red military vehicles, recon jeeps leading the tanks and APC's through the bustling city streets. Andy however was in the mid-section of the group and was getting an earful of car horns and insults thrown at him. He opened the top hatch and yelled back at a cranky toad "Can it chode head! We are here for the festival!" The toad threw him a nasty gesture that forced Andy to reply with "Yours chode head!"

Inside Xander was puzzled by Andy's hostile attitude towards the civilians and asked "Andy... Why are the people so... Aggressive?" Andy took his seat and replied with "It's the big city buddy, it's a dog eat dog world here. You watch your back and no one else's." Ryoma simply replied with "Then why protect people like this? If they all watch their own backs why do they need of any assistance?" Andy groaned and just wasn't in the mood for another round of 21 questions.

He yelled up to the driver "Buddy, next Wario Burger we see we are stopping and getting breakfast!" The driver nodded and kept his eyes peeled for any Wario Burger. Hinoka however insisted on her brothers question with "Answer my brother." Andy didn't have a choice and answered in a half assed tone "It's our job, they might hate us, send us death threats and even attack our families, but we must protect those who can't do it." Camilla smiled and simply said "Willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good, how Nobel." And at this point the driver called out "We have a Wario Burger three blocks ahead sir."

Andy pulled out his radio and called out his squad "Wrench Squadron, breakfast stop at the Wario Burger located at the intersection of... Star avenue and marshmallow street. Put your orders on a sheet cause i don't wanna take long." Both Hoshido and Nohr families felt the entire vehicle take a hard left and then stop suddenly, making them all bump into each other in the process. Andy simply chuckled and thought out loud "Should have worn your seat-belts." as he got off his seat, opened the APC Door and watched as his squad arrived and also parked.

Luigi's Mansion - Front Yard - 1 PM

Aeon dodged Corrin's sword jab by jumping back, landing on his feet and then leaning forward to avoid a punch from little Mac while also tripping him and gaining distance. Lucas watched along side Louis as both called out what had to be done, Louis telling "That's it Baby! That's it! You getting it now son!" Aeon stood upright and looked at Corrin and Mac and watched them stand up and relax, with Corrin panting and stating "Good... You are capable of dodging... Now for combat."

Aeon nodded as both champions took defensive positions, with Little Mac being the first to jump at him. Aeon dodge rolled away from the attack then lunged at him with a fist full of pain, landing it on Mac's left jaw. Mac quickly recovered and threw Aeon a solid left hook to the ribs, making Aeon back off and recompose himself for a moment. However Corrin knew Marth wouldn't let up and jumped at him with a quick sword sweep. Aeon fell forward to avoid this attack then grabbed Corrin by her shoulder, did a quick 180 and threw her towards the ground. Unaware that little Mac jumped at him with a fist that hit Aeon in the back and slammed him down.

Aeon got back up quickly and tried to attack Mac, but was stopped by Corrin saying "Enough, you are focusing too much on one enemy only, you gotta learn how to balance your priorities... But the tournament will be one on one only so you are good... Still need to learn how to connect your combos, but in strength alone you are good..." Aeon nodded and panted, already burned out after training all morning. Corrin also was tiered and just fell to the grass, letting her body recover for abit.

Aeon and Mac watched and joined her, all three now on the grass panting as Louis chuckled and said "Well i guess a break is in order... I'll go bring something for you guys to drink, c'mon Lucas." Lucas nodded and followed Louis to the mansion while the others stared at the blue sky and relaxed. However it didn't take long before an awkward silence settled, making Corrin speak up "Soooooo... happy birthday." Aeon looked over at her and asked "How did you know-" but was cut of by Mac saying "Radio... Every guardian and champion gets a shout out when it's his or her birthday."

Aeon sighed and simply replied with "Well thanks..." as he pulled out his wallet and looked at the photos he had. Mac looked and asked "Who are they?" making Corrin sit up and look too. Aeon however didn't reply, instead he sighed and put his wallet away, only asking "Know anything i can do to beat Marth?" Little Mac thought hard on it and replied with "His ego.. Fees it and he will be wailing like a banshee." Corrin chuckled and simply said "That's for damn sure... Get him talking about his riotousness and he will go on for days." they all chuckled and waited for Louis to return.

Bowser's Castle - Barracks - 3 PM

Bowser and Cia both walked over the barracks, their steps echoing off the metal catwalk as they observed their troops. The Goombas marching in orderly groups as they carried heavy equipment, koopas polishing their shells or getting paint jobs for intimidation, parakoopas stretching their wings and watching over the prisoner toad recruits. Then came the heavier troops once they reached the outside, the catwalk bolted to the castle wall and overlooking the courtyard, where both Cia and Bowser watched their more prized troops.

Drybones wearing spiky helmets and shells training for close combat with riot shields and bone clubs, some training the Chomp-Chomps with the bone clubs to attack. Monty Moles worked on and tested their tanks as others fed the piranha plants some leftovers. And lastly the crown jewel of Bowser"s military might, the air fleet. This time Bowser made sure his airships had protection from explosives by adding metal plating to the exterior hull. Cia was abit surprised and simply said "Alright you got me... I'm impressed..." then handed the koopa king a bag full of coins from a bet they had earlier.

Bowser accepted the money and simply said "Well, i have you to thank in part, showing me some flaws in my troop positioning." Cia chuckled and walked back in, passing by some propaganda posters some koopa artists were more than happy to make, one was of Bowser's fist punching through Mario's M and saying "Fight the Red menace" and another of Bowser on thr Koopa King kart throwing red shells reading "Keep'em Shooting". Bowser was pleased with these but knew that it was also a small morale boost for his troops, especially when they saw him working to prepare the army as well.

Bowser looked at Cia and asked tje sorceress "Ehhh Cia... I want you to level with me... And i won't take it the wrong way... But think i got a chance of coming out ontop tomorrow?" Cia looked at the koopa with a mixed expression, she was genuinely surprised again by his lack of self bravado and worried that he was losing his edge. She sighed and replied with "When has winning or losing ever bothered you, the Koopa King? You may not believe this, but you are their enemy, not just to Mario and Peach, but the entire kingdom, you are something they fear."

Bowser stood there and simply asked "Are you sure?" Cia groaned and pointed at his troops then said "Look at them? You know what they think of you? They believe this koopa is the best leader, not because of the bad conditions they live in, not because of the horrible and poor lifestyle they have, but because they see you always trying. Trying to change it for the better and even allow yourself to be humiliated, beat up and even at times nearly perish. So stop dragging yourself down.. Because if you do.. You will start failing them.."

Bowser looked at them and watched them work hard and prepare, then noticed a pair of goombas drop a heavy piece of equipment. He jumped down to them and stood behind them, they only froze in place as Bowser asked "What happened?" The first goomba, a young one answered with "Sorry lord Bowser... We are just tired..." They shook as they watched Bowser ask "Tired? Are my troops tires?!" They shook in place as Bowser roared and picked up the heavy piece of equipment then let out a loud roar "All workers and troops! You have one hour to eat! I will keep working, now go!"

The troops didn't hesitate and ran to the kitchen where they found fresh ingredients for cooking, and the royal chefs already cooking for them. They were served a wide array of dishes from fresh salads to buffets of various meats and spices. But as they were eating they heard something outside and looked, their king working in the courtyard by loading the airships with supplies. They looked at their food then outside, eating as quickly as possible before returning to work along side their king, all working until sunset or passing out.

Smash HQ - Comms Tower - 7:30 PM

Mario and Rob both sat in the comms room as the search for the Invader continued, Mario being slightly worried by this but also about his brother's current location, only hoping he wasn't on town. With Andy now in town and deploying his troops to patrols around all city districts, and the newly recruited temporary guardians, it was genuinely surprising that they still couldn't find her. Mario sighed and walked over to the phone and dialed up Luigi and waited, watching all the dots on the screen moving around or stationary.

Luigi finally picked up cautiously by asking "Hello?" in a deep voice, making Mario laugh for a moment before asking "Mama mia Luigi... How have you been? Has anyone bothered you today?" cough "Daisy" cough. Luigi replied with "No, just been helping Aeon train all day currently preparing dinner." Mario sighed in relief as this news finally came but also was interrupted by Metaknight barging in and asking "Where is Aeon?" Mario replied quickly with "Luigi's Mansion, talking with Luigi right no-" Metaknight took the phone from Mario and asked Luigi in an alarming voice "Luigi, are you sure Aeon is there?"

Luigi furrowed his brows and replied with "Let me check."then hurried to Aeon's room, and found it empty. Luigi looked around quickly and found a note on his bed, it was the one the Invader left him. Luigi ran through the halls an picked up the phone again and answered "West Wall... He's at the West City Wall.." Metaknight thanked Luigi with a simple "Thank you" then hung up and hurried to rob. Mario however demanded "Why are we looking for Aeon? What does he have to do with-?"

Metaknight answered him with "What was she looking at when out camera's caught her last night?" Mario paused then the realization struck him. Metaknight picked up the radio and told every single person they had out there "The suspect has been spotted on the Western Smash Wall, all units are to head there, this is not a drill people. Bring her back Alive." At his point all the Champions and Guardians on vehicles made their way towards the wall, Cloud, Wario, Waluigi, and Travis all on motorcycles racing to get there and secure the area.

West Smash City Wall - 8 PM

Aeon had just finished his long climb up to the top of the wall, using a maintenance access ladder to get to his current destination. He found her sitting afew feet away, her legs dangling off the edge as she hummed to herself. Aeon walked up to her and asked "You were looking for me?" She stopped humming and looked at Aeon then nodded and spoke in an almost inaudible tone "Yes... Did you bring my instrument?" Aeon nodded and held her Lute out to her and watched as she took it and smiled, strumming it abit and tuning it.

-Insert Theme: Song of The Ancients (Devola) from Nier: Gestalt-

Aeon sat by her and listened as she began to play the same song then sing it, Aeon feeling like he should look at his wallet again. He resisted however, hummed along and tapped his lap to the rhythm of the song. The woman looked at him elbowed Aeon, making him furrow his brows then notice she was eyeing his pocket, like if she knew he wanted to look at the pictures he had. Aeon reached for his wallet and pulled it out, looking at the photos he had and felt miserable.

This was a day he always looked forward to spend with his family or friends, and even with his girlfriend, but now it just felt hollow. Aeon found himself thinking alot about them as the woman continued to sing, her words echoing through his mind as he could recall so many memories, some pleasant, others not so much. She just kept singing as her tone was a mix of hopeful, but also melancholic, almost as if she was longing for something as well. Aeon just stared blankly at his pictures, but was just thinking, feeling what those old times brought and left in his soul, happiness.

The woman smiled as she watched him reminisce of old time, but all good things had to come to an end, much like her song. She played her last notes and uttered her last verses with a smooth and radiant tone.

-Song Ends-

The song ended as smoothly as it started and Aeon found himself staring at his photos, on the verge of crying. But was pulled back to reality when both heard the sound of a ship's engines. And, arising from in front of them, was Samus' ship, with Marth, Ness and Samus standing ontop of it. Samus used the speaker in her ship to warn "Aeon, please back away from her, she is dangerous." Marth and Ness both jumped down onto the wall, Ness on Aeon's side and Marth on the Invader's side.

Aeon looked at both of them then Samus jumped and landed between them, separating both Aeon and the Invader. However she didn't seem sad or remotely bothered, instead she gave a sad smile as she landed on the ground in front of Marth. Marth pointed his sword at her and ordered "Get up... And don't try anything." Aeon felt himself boiling up inside, Marth treating her like that just burned his core even more. However Marth watched her stand then hold a small maroon orb. He backed up and watched the orb fly out of her hands and enter Aeon's right hand.

Samus quickly scanned Aeon as he looked at his hand, feeling a tingling sensation running up his arm. Samus couldn't find any negative affects and turned to aim at her, now helping Marth escort her onto her ship and into a holding chamber. Ness smiled and pulled his radio out, reporting in "Invader captured, bringing her straight to Master Hand." Aeon heard this and asked the boy "Master Hand is involved in this?" Ness shrugged and watched as Aeon got in the ship quickly, took a seat then waited for the arrival.

Smash HQ - Master Hand's Chamber - 8:30 PM

Master Hand waited for the arrival of the Invader, along side him was Mario, Metaknight, Mr. G&W, and Pac-Man. All five watched as the Invader entered the chamber, Heavy ROB's surrounding her as she walked in, behind her Aeon following. Master Hand asked politely "Aeon, can you wait-" but Aeon simply crossed his arms and stood beside Mario, unwilling to move. Master Hand sighed and ordered the ROB units to leave and close the doors behind them, and they obeyed their orders, leaving and sealing them in the empty chamber until further notice.

Master Hand floated over to the Invader and asked "You understand me?" She nodded but remained quiet. Master Hand continued with "Then you know that we want to send you back home... Are you ready?" She nodded and took a step forward, along with the others. Aeon did the same and in an instant they were all in Subspace, on the edge of Nintendo Universe, a single thread leading into the dark clouds of the void. Master Hand Explained "Hold onto this thread and you will be taken home... And we expect you to stay there... Goodbye and good luck."

She turned to look at them for a moment, then looked at Aeon, only asking "Why couldn't i hurt him? Others would fall in pain..." Master Hand simply said "He isn't exactly like us." She furrowed her brows at the vague answer and simply said "Well... Goodbye Aeon... Hope you enjoy the rest of your birthday." Aeon gave a surprised look, but before he could ask anything she simply said "I'm Devola, by the way.. " then touched the thread, disappearing instantly. Aeon just stood there, like if there was no one else there, staring into the empty void, and simply said "Yeah... Happy Birthday to me..."

And the July 30th special is done, took me all of yesterday to write, and honestly? Can't say i'm disappointed. Hopefully this chapter answers you Mithra. This is mainly to respond to one tiny little problem: Too Many Worlds and Developers. I have been getting so many request's via Pm's telling me so many characters and worlds that connect, but also don't, and the main excuse is one simple thing, the developers.

So to test this i decided to give this a test fly, just to see how it's received. So, Mithra, your opinion? and anyone else's who thinks this should stay, or should go.

And for the one who will ask why July 30th? Well simple, it's my birthday. Nothing else.

If it stays, then cameo character (Will limit this, of course) and if it goes, then it goes. Got it? Good.

The tournament will be divided into parts. (Doubt i can write a long chapter and keep a cohesive narrative at the same time)

So like always, I'm still in the Trenches, and hope You Enjoyed.

P.S. Don't expect Rogue Squadron here, Star Wars is a can of worms i don't want to open, especially with a fan-base that can chew me up and spit me out with just about anything i write.
