"Upon returning to Hyrule, Zelda was informed about Kirby's disappearance making her believe something terrible might have happened, at the same time, the mysterious girl Lana had helped Kirby recover from his injuries and explained a possible way to defeat the demon king who was revealed to be Ganondorf later on after the last spirit fragment was retrieved by his former allies. With Ganondorf back and at full power, Kirby must race back to Hyrule and unite the triforce if there is any hope in defeating him."
Massive storm clouds gathered across the land as Ganondorf and his army of monsters and dark clones slowly made their way towards Hyrule, defeating anyone that stood in his path. Meanwhile Kirby flew as fast as he could to beat Ganondorf to Hyrule. Back at Hyrule castle where Zelda watched as the heavy storm clouds were swirling around the top of the castle.
"We need to get the triforce united if we are to defeat the demon king," Impa pointed out.
"True, but the journey to Lana's place will be more dangerous now that he's back," Zelda pointed out.
"I can make the journey," Pit said pointing out that he could fly.
"No need, I sense the triforce of power is heading this way," Palutena said sensing a powerful energy source just behind Ganondorf.
"But how? There's no way it can get here by itself unless it being transported," Link explained.
"It'll be too dangerous. Meta Knight, could you head over there and escort her to this location?" Zelda asked.
"I will," Meta Knight said before flying off.
"Hopefully he can make it in time." Peach said worried about the outcome of what lies ahead. Back with Kirby who flew managed to reach the forest and maneuvered past the trees when something catches his eye. Kirby stops to see that it was Bowser Jr. running as fast as he could but stops when he spots him.
"Please don't hurt me," Bowser Jr. said afraid.
"What's wrong with you?" Kirby asked.
"You again? Don't you know it's too late?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"I'm aware of that, I'm on my way back to Hyrule right now to help with defeating the demon king.
"And how? The triforce!" Bowser Jr. said realizing what Kirby was talking about.
"We need some time to get it ready," Kirby pointed out before Bowser Jr. pulled out his paint brush.
"Leave that to me," Bowser Jr. said. Meanwhile, Ganondorf and his army marched across the forest when he spots Kirby flying across the sky.
"That thing's got the right idea," Ganondorf said watching Kirby but then realized something, "Search that creature."
Kirby got far enough and dropped Bowser Jr. before proceeding onward towards Hyrule, but then he looks behind him to see several flying dark clones of Pit.
"I can't let them get the triforce," Kirby said to himself before flying faster while the Dark clones tried to shoot his warp star down, but where unsuccessful. Back with Bowser Jr. who just finished painting the ground with a orange paint before hiding in the trees, soon Ganondorf and his army arrive, but he stops before a dark clone steps into the paint and gets incinerated.
"I knew it," Ganondorf said before unleashing a dark shockwave that sends the paint flying into the trees causing them to catch on fire, forcing Bowser
Jr. to jump out.
"Covering the ground with paint that sets everything that touches it on fire was a clever idea, but I think you've forgotten that your dealing with the demon king," Ganondorf pointed out as two dark clones of Donkey Kong walk up, Bowser Jr. squirts more of the paint at the two incinerating them in the process.
"At least I know I'm doing the right thing," Bowser Jr. said in a combat position.
"I gave you one job and you decide to disobey, very poor choice, kids like you need to be taught a lesson," Ganondorf said before unleashing a blast of purple energy that Bowser Jr. dodges. Meanwhile, Kirby flew as fast as he could to evade the dark clones of Pit by flying close to the ground hoping that they would get wiped out by the trees, but they dodged each tree and continued their pursuit.
"These dark clones must have been powered up somehow," Kirby said realizing something and then gets an idea, he races across the wastelands and sees a creature that had fire for hair and orange skin, he then sucks it into his mouth. A light consumes Kirby before vanishing revealing him to have fire for hair, he then looks back at the dark clones and shoots fireballs at them, one of the fireballs hits one of the dark clones incinerating it leaving three left. Back with Bowser Jr. who took down several dark clones that charged after him.
"Your pretty skilled for a youngling, bring me the triforce and I'll make you a valuable asset to my army," Ganondorf offered, but Bowser Jr. wasn't easily fooled, instead he made a line with his magic paintbrush and launched it at him, but he blocks it with a wall of energy before rushing at the young reptile. Meanwhile, Kirby threw fireball after fireball at the Dark clones, but they kept dodging no matter what he tried.
"I need to think of a better strategy if I want to get rid of these things," Kirby said to himself before turning back to normal and looks around for a sword or something more useful, but the dark clone cuts the warpstar in half while he wasn't paying attention causing him to fall to the valley below. Luckily Kirby sucked up some air and landed gently on the ground, he looks over to see the dark clones merging together.
"Kirby?" A male voice asked getting Kirby's attention, he looks up to see Meta Knight who lands next to him, "I thought you were dead."
Kirby nodded his head no in response to Meta Knight.
"I was rescued by a girl named Lana, she sent me off to deliver this to Hyrule," Kirby explained pulling out the triforce of power which surprises Meta Knight who then notices something.
"Hold that thought, Kirby," Meta Knight said as he saw a giant dark clone of
Pit three times it's normal size walk over to him and Kirby.
"Sorry," Kirby said apologizing for distracting Meta Knight.
"We can't let this thing wander into Hyrule, nor can we let it get the triforce," Meta Knight pointed out before him and Kirby rushed at the giant dark clone and attack it, but it whacks them sending the two flying. Both Meta Knight and Kirby land on their feet
"I never knew dark clones were even capable of this," Kirby said.
"Well thanks to the demon king, they are now," Meta Knight pointed out before the giant dark clone tries to slash them with two ended sword. Back with Bowser Jr. who was seen being held by the neck by Ganondorf who then tosses him at a tree knocking him out.
"You made a big mistake. Let's move out," Ganondorf ordered before him and his armies continued towards Hyrule while Bowser Jr tried to get up.
"You'll lose in the end, demon king," Bowser Jr. said making Ganondorf stop.
"I'm at full power, and the triforce of power will be brought to me soon, where is my disadvantage?" Ganondorf asked.
"You have us underestimated," Bowser Jr. answered.
"Underestimated? don't make me laugh," Ganondorf said chuckling.
"You just watch," Bowser Jr. said before passing out. Meanwhile, Kirby and Meta Knight try attack after attack on the giant dark clone of Pit but were unsuccessful at taking it down.
"How do you defeat this thing?" Kirby asked before Meta Knight gets an idea.
"Kirby, you still have the triforce of power correct?" Meta Knight asked.
"Yeah," Kirby answered.
"I don't know if this will work, but we need to try to use the triforce of power on this thing," Meta Knight explained before Kirby pulled the triforce of power out and looks at it.
"How do you use this thing?" Kirby asked himself examining the triforce of power before it started glowing which causes the giant dark clone of Pit to get stunned and tumble backwards, Meta Knight takes advantage and uses his sword to cut through the dark clone. The dark clone then dissolved into ashes, Kirby then puts the triforce back.
"Good job, Kirby," Meta Knight commented.
"Thanks," Kirby said before looking to see massive clouds swirling above Hyrule.
"We're nearly out of time, we need to go," Meta Knight pointed out, Kirby nodded his head before he grabbed onto him as his cape turned into wings before flying away. Back in Hyrule which has become a war zone, soldiers from both sides were seen fighting with Ganondorf's army gaining the upper hand, Zelda was seen taking down several dark clones of herself with Impa helping out.
"Zelda, these dark clones are getting stronger with the demon king's help, we need to rethink our approach," Impa pointed out.
"We'll need to fall back then," Zelda said before Impa nodded and signaled her forces to fall back.
"Pit, Link, we need you both to hold them off," Impa said before Pit and Link nodded and charged towards the army of dark clones and monsters and held their ground the best they could while Zelda retreated.
"I don't think we're gonna last very long with the dark clones being this strong," Link pointed out throwing a bomb at several monsters.
"Then we better hope that Meta Knight will get the triforce of power over here soon," Pit said slashing several monsters while Link pulls out a bow and arrow and shoots an arrow bomb at two dark clones of Donkey Kong that were marching towards them. Meanwhile at Hyrule castle, Zelda and Impa arrive and start talking to Peach.
"What's happening out there?" Peach asked.
"The dark clones are getting stronger and if Meta Knight doesn't get here soon, I fear the worst," Impa answered.
"We still have the triforce of courage and wisdom," Zelda pointed out.
"Then why aren't we using it?" Impa asked.
"Because I don't want to risk the demon king getting his hands on it," Zelda said. Meanwhile, Ganondorf watched as his army closed in on the castle.
"They shouldn't last much longer," Ganondorf pointed out as he watched his armies make short work of Hyrule's military, when he spots a light in a field nearby and smiles evilly, "Perfect."
Link held his hand out and the power of the triforce of courage crippled the dark clones giving him and Pit a chance to attack.
"Its about time we used that," Pit said unaware that it attracted the attention of Ganondorf who was on his way to retrieve the triforce of courage from Link. Back with Kirby and Meta Knight who went as fast as they could to reach Hyrule.
"How much further?" Kirby asked.
"I can see the castle from here so it shouldn't be any further," Meta Knight pointed out.
"What do we do once we're in Hyrule?" Kirby asked.
"We make our way to the castle and unite the triforce, I just hope that none of the pieces have fallen into the demon king's hands," Meta Knight answers. Meanwhile Ganondorf rushed towards Link and Pit who were making short work of the dark clones when Pit spots him heading right towards them.
"Link, we've got company," Pit said pointing at Ganondorf who was getting closer by the minute.
"We need to go," Link pointed out before him and Pit start running back to the castle while Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong get in Ganondorf's way ready for a fight.
"You wish to face me? I don't find this amusing," Ganondorf said before Diddy Kong started shooting peanuts at him which explode on impact, consuming him in smoke left over from the explosion. Eventually Diddy King stops shooting and lets the smoke clear revealing Ganondorf still standing there without a scratch," that actually touched a nerve, I'm impressed."
Diddy Kong stood there shocked by this along with Donkey Kong who then starts spinning his arm and a few seconds later tries to punch Ganondorf, but he grabs the fist which causes a shockwave that sends several dark clones flying. Fire then surrounds Ganondorf's fist before he punches Donkey Kong in the gut sending him flying through a wall leaving a hole in it, he then grabs Diddy King by the neck.
"It looks like I don't even know my own strength," Ganondorf said with a grin on his face. Back at Hyrule castle, Link and Pit arrive.
"Zelda, I'm sorry, I had no choice, it was either use the triforce or be overrun," Link said guilty of his decision.
"That means he knows that courage and wisdom is here, Lana and Meta Knight need to hurry," Zelda pointed out. Meanwhile Mario, Luigi and Yoshi stood in Ganondorf's way, a small hmm escaped the plumber's mouth as the looked at the giant figure standing before him.
"Enemies of Hyrule working alongside them? They must be desperate to stop me," Ganondorf said almost chuckling.
"The mushroom kingdom made a mistake in the past not being on good terms with them, but that's in the past now," Mario pointed out before him and Luigi jumped towards Ganondorf's head and punches him, but the attacks hardly did anything.
"How pathetic," Ganondorf said before Mario and Luigi throw fireballs at him as he walked toward them, but Yoshi tries to stop him by wrapping his tongue around his leg which he grabs and throws the green dinosaur into the air and kicks him into a wall as he was about to hit the ground. Angry by this, Mario rushes at Ganondorf and throws a barrage of punches at his chest causing him to back up a little.
"You'll regret that!" Mario said before kicking Ganondorf into a rock, but he gets up from the attack.
"About time you showed some back bone," Ganondorf said before rushing at Mario who braised himself, but Luigi kicks him out of the way in time, saving his brother.
"If you want the triforce, your gonna have to go through us," Luigi pointed out helping Mario up.
"I find your futile attempt to stop me amusing," Ganondorf said before signaling Mario and Luigi to attack him which they do, the attacks hardly did anything as Ganondorf just stood there taking attack after attack, his fists then build up dark energy and punches them both in the face knocking them out cold and started thinking, "with the two pieces of the triforce in the castle, my army of dark clones won't stand a chance."
Ganondorf then spots two figures in the sky above him.
"Of course," Ganondorf said realizing what the two figures that were Kirby and Meta Knight were carrying, he then jumps up to them and punches Meta Knight right out of the sky. Kirby lands safely on the ground and looks to see the castle nearby.
"I need to move," Kirby said as he kept running, but stops when Ganondorf appears right in front of him.
"You have something that belongs to me, young one from the forest, give it back and I will spare your life," Ganondorf said holding his hand out, but Kirby refused to hand over the triforce of power.
"Never! You destroyed my home, but I won't let you destroy Zelda's," Kirby said causing Ganondorf to laugh a little.
"Young creature, I don't wish to destroy Hyrule at all or any of the smash universe. When this universe was formed I made it my mission to expand my kingdom beyond Hyrule, of course I needed the trust of the other universes villains who were more than happy to help me with my mission. They were fools of course and didn't even put up a fight, but they were useful puppets in the end. Many universes perished when the smash universe was born and yours was a universe I could live without," Ganondorf explained making Kirby upset.
"You monster!" Kirby shouted in rage.
"A monster? Close, I'm a demon, remember?" Ganondorf asked before trying to punch Kirby, but his attacked gets blocked by Meta Knight.
"Kirby! Get the triforce to Zelda, now!" Meta Knight shouted struggling to hold Ganondorf back, Kirby took the triforce and ran towards the castle as fast as he could while Meta Knight was forced back by him. Meta Knight gets up to find his mask shattered.
"Not bad for a being that very few people know about," Ganondorf commented as Meta Knight picked up his sword and got ready.
"You have no idea," Meta Knight pointed out before Sword Knight and Blade Knight join him, he smiled and the three charged at Ganondorf. Meanwhile, Kirby ran as fast as he could towards the castle, before he entered the front gates he spots the dark clones gathering nearby and gets curious.
"Kirby?!" A female voice asked before Kirby looked to see Zelda at the front gate and ran to her with the triforce of power. Meanwhile in a small field, every single dark clone that Ganondorf has summoned was seen fusing together, eventually it turned into a giant bubble which morphed into a giant monster the size of a small skyscraper which let out a mighty roar.
