Author's note: Well, this is it, the story is officially on hiatus. Remember there will be no new episodes until January, but on Ao3 soon will be the Fire Emblem story I've been planning. Though it will eventually make its way to , I do suggest you read it from that platform if you want to continue reading stories done by me. The title is going to be Fire Emblem: Electric Travel, and it will take place in the same fanfiction universe as this one. Whether the OCs will show up in the story is up to me. Also, the story revisions will begin after the episode today, and those don't put the story up at the top of the list( I think) so keep tabs on this story. Also, JOKER FOR SMASH! I thought it couldn't happen, and the best part his trailer happened while I was working on this episode. You know what that means. And to top things off, if you thought I wouldn't be doing a Christmas Special because of the direction I'm taking with the series. You thought wrong, a five parter special (not canon to this series) is going to be published, the only concepts from this story crossing over are the portals and the current relationships. Anyway, Time for the last guest review before January.
"Can the Iceman Etika drop by?"
No. I watch Etika's videos, don't get me wrong, but he's not the kind of person to be in this story (not mention with the number of times he swears I'll be risking an M rating, and I don't want that). Now then let's begin the final episode of Season 2.
Season 2 episode 16: A New Era part 2: The Beginning.
Time Vortex
Currently spiraling out of control in the time disruptor was Kirby and his crew all screaming and on the warpstar.
"There's our exit," Layton yelled as they continued screaming as a bright light came over them.
Smash Island (dun)
January 8, 2019 (DUN!)
A twinkling light was seen as the warpstar was spiraling back towards the Smash Mansion with everyone still screaming. There were clouds all over the island, and the mansion looked like it lost the welcoming feel it always had. The outside of it looked faded to a dark brown.
Everyone was still screaming as the warpstar crashed through the front wall of the mansion and collided with the chandelier in the foyer. The warpstar crashed into the wall behind and broke with everyone falling to the ground. The chandelier crashes onto the floor a couple feet away, shattering in the process.
Sonic was the first to look up, "Well, so much for that plan for Nintendo," he said, "we're back in the Smash Mansion!"
"But," Nathaniel said, getting up, "pretty sure the bigger question is when are we. It doesn't seem like we traveled into the past, otherwise someone would have been in this very room."
Cap'n Cuttlefish: My old man senses are telling me that we aren't in a time that we once lived through.
Pikachu looked at the device that told them when they were and grew of face of fear. "(Uh, guys,)" he said trying to get their attention, but to no avail, especially since they couldn't understand him.
"What is it, Pikachu," Doc Louis said, who got the Pokémon was trying to say something, but all the trainer could hear as "pika, pika." Pikachu showed him the device. "Guys," Doc Louis said getting their attention, "we're not in 2018 anymore."
"What," Layton said as footsteps were heard running right towards them. "Wait someone's here! Bloody hell!"
"Who's there," said a young, but feminine voice. Sonic and Pikachu swore they could make out who it was. The same person then appeared right behind them and hit them all with a sword.
Sonic gasped at the two ninjas and cat before them. "Kat, Ana, Spitz, it's us." Sonic took a good look at the three and made out that the power in the mansion isn't completely gone since their clothes were clean.
"How do we know you're not just saying that," Spitz said preparing to fire what was apparently Nathaniel's old octobrush.
"That octobrush has a marking of a squid on it," Nathaniel said, and Spitz took a look and saw the squid.
Spitz retracted the octobrush and said, "Decidueye, eye test."
Said arrow quill Pokémon shined a flashlight in all of their eyes. They all flinched at the bright light. "Eyes check out," Decidueye said, "it is them." Decidueye joyfully picked up Pikachu and hugged the mouse.
Doc Louis: Isn't that the same guy who worked with Tabuu on Thanksgiving? This future is a bit weird.
"(I am so happy and weirded out right now)," Pikachu said, "(but aren't you technically still evil?)" Pikachu broke free from Decidueye's grasp.
"That's the thing," Decidueye said, "I had learned from my wrongs and since December I was helping out multiple people in the Kanto region. Then when the light beams came a portal opened under my feet and I fell through."
As for us," Kat said, "we were in Diamond City when Ana and I teleported out of there with our ninja moves. We popped up inside the Smash Mansion and the light beams were still coming for us."
"But when they reached," Ana said, "some sort of forcefield appeared and blocked the beams from hitting, and destroying the mansion."
"Since I was still sick," Spitz said, "I never even got out of bed that day. Ana and Kat here were quick to return me to full health."
"Well," Kirby said, "good to know that forcefield worked, yet we were dumb enough to even leave the mansion."
"We heard a crash and we came right over," said a new male voice. When the others that just got here saw them their jaws dropped. "Oh, new people."
"I think you know what that means," said a new feminine voice.
"Bringing the blinding bright light of evil into the future."
"Thrusting the hammer down onto the darkness of the universe."
"And carving our name in the rock of eternity!"
"The fiery destroyer, Jessie!"
"And with thunderous emotion, I am James!"
"Wisest of the wise, Meowth!"
"Now cower! Under the name of Team Rocket!"
"WOBBUFFET!"
"Team Rocket," yelled Kirby and his crew.
"What are you doing here," Nathaniel asked.
"Well for your information," Jessie said, "after Thanksgiving we've been hiding in the basement coming up with a plan to get Pikachu."
"It wasn't until those light beams came when we realized we now had a new goal in mind," James said.
"Stop Galeem and save the Smash Island and our worlds," Meowth said. "So consider this a temporary truce. If you want more info on what's going on then you'll have to talk to him." Meowth was pointing at another person in the room.
The group looked in that direction and when they thought they couldn't get more shocked, here they are. "Master Hand," Kirby said in shock (Master Hand is the form I introduced in season 2 episode 14), "but I thought you were-"
"Under Galeem's control," Master Hand said, "I was indeed. Took me quite awhile to break free from his control, and when I come back to the mansion what do I see but Kat and Ana going over a plan with Decidueye." He unfolded a note, "I also saw this note from Mewtwo on my desk." He showed it to them.
Master Hand,
This is Mewtwo, I know I'm not going to be at the mansion when you break free of Galeem's control, but trust me, having us all go down to the ledge was the only way to activate you reading this. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that the rainbow protection orb you made yourself a long time ago is in between a couple of capsules in the vault. Use that and you should be safe from Galeem for an extended amount of time.
Nathaniel: I can't tell if this is real life or a dream anymore.
"Well that would explain how you are here, but what was that plan you also mentioned," Sonic asked.
"It's not of importance right now," Master Hand opened the door to the meeting room. "For now, we may want to get you all up to speed on what's going on."
In the meeting room, Master Hand was giving the others the rundown of what had happened. "So Galeem turned everyone in the Nintendo multiverse into spirits," Nathaniel said, "and is using the remaining fighters he took as prisoners to make clones."
"And then he forces those spirits to use those copies as puppets," Layton said, "and has them stationed throughout the island."
"And," Sonic said, "the Smash Island was expanded to accommodate for volcanoes and some other things."
"But the worst part," Kirby said, "is that the time disruptor sent us one month into the future. We don't know how much time we have left."
"That's pretty much it," Master Hand said, "the light beams may have not destroyed the mansion, but it caused a sort of earthquake which caused many of the things here to break. The beds are all fine, but I can't use my powers to fix anything, or else Galeem will sense my location."
"We've tried to get in contact with Sakurai at Nintendo," Decidueye said, "but so far it's been fail after fail."
Geno: *quiet while staring at the camera*...Oh, I'm still here, I'm just shocked at how this all happened in such little time.
Master Hand's laptop started glitching out, when everyone looked the projector it looked like a phone call from guess who. "Mr. Sakurai," Master Hand said as he slammed the mouse down on the answer button. Sakurai appeared on the projector. "Mr. Sakurai, I knew we would get through to you."
"Master Hand," Mr Sakurai said looking all over the room. "Is this all who's left."
"Unfortunately yes," Sonic said, "but Mr. Sakurai, if you guys can code and patch the game. We can probably stop Galeem before he gets too far into his plan."
Sakurai shook his head, "We tried that Sonic, it didn't work. You guys have to face this yourselves, that's why I programmed some portals to bring others here and that portal at the ledge that was leading to Japan. I see not all of the desired targets were hit."
"Well," Kirby said, "we did actually make it through the portal, but we ran into a time disruptor."
"Hmm, well there's still someone in our world that you guys can get here."
"Cloud and Tifa, of course," Nathaniel said, "we can get them from the Square Enix headquarters and bring them back!"
"We tried that too," Sakurai said, "Square said they're not risking the lives of the characters they have here right now. They think they'll die trying to stop Galeem."
"Well maybe we could go in the in person and ask," Geno suggested.
Sakurai shook his head yet again, "That won't work either. They've forbidden any characters that are associated with Nintendo and the Smash Mansion into their headquarters." Kinda ironic since Geno is technically owned by Square Enix.
"Guys you realize what this means," Layton said as the camera zoomed in on his face and to black lines from the top and bottom closed in as he said this. "We're gonna have to break...in"
(Da-da. Da-da. da-dada-dun!)
Square Enix headquaters
January 8, 2019
Layton, Sonic, Nathaniel, Decidueye, Geno, and the cameraman were all in trench coats and matching hats while a receptionist was handing them what seemed to be headsets (just go with me on this) all while saying, "Koko ni okyakusama no bajji to heddo setto ga arimasu. Kono tokubetsuna tsuā o o tanoshimi kudasai." (I used google translate so I don't know if this was right)
"She said here are your visitor badges and headsets. We hope you enjoy this exclusive tour," Geno translated.
(Da-da. Da-da. da-dada-dun!)
The camera did the same thing from before as Layton said, "We're in."
Sonic: There's without a doubt the cameraman just did something that would give the audience a big laugh… What's that.. you say I'm ruining it right now with the head segment. Well then just continue the episode for crying out loud.
The tour guide was leading the group down the hall with our group of heroes following along in the back of the group. He was currently explaining the kinds of games the company does and how much time of effort they put into the them. Just look of how big of a game Kingdom Hearts III is shaping up to be despite constant delays.
After awhile Decidueye pulled out a device that was showing them Cloud and Tifa's current location. He then stopped the others as he pointed towards a door that said "characters only" signifying that's where they had to go. They walked through the door after Sonic quickly took out a camera.
They then came across a short hall with only one door at the end with a handprint recognition pad. "Great," Layton said, "there's no way we're getting past that."
"Unless," Geno said walking up to it, "one of us is literally owned by this company." the star warrior put his wooden hand on the pad and the door unlocked with the system saying "Yōkoso, Geno." The door swung open.
Sonic smiled, "I never thought you could amaze me you wooden puppet." Geno chuckled at Sonic's statement and led the others through. They then went down a few halls, avoiding some employees while at it.
They then got to the room and saw Cloud and Tifa in that very room, but they were talking with somebody else. Decidueye used the device to quickly pick up the conversation.
"So you're saying there's no way officials are letting us back go back to the Smash Island," Cloud said. His sounded sad, which isn't usual.
"I'm deeply sorry, Cloud," said a voice none of them heard of before, but Geno was trying to put his finger on it, "I really tried, but the company is not risking anything until a few months after the release Kingdom Hearts III. And they have good reason."
"Sora," Tifa said, yep it was the legendary keyblade wielder himself, "You're saying your on the company's side rather than ours."
"No, that's not what I'm saying," Sora said trying to clear things up, "Look they had cameras themselves there that day. Galeem took all of them out like they were nothing, a group may have escaped on that warpstar, but there's no report on them getting here in Japan."
"Sora," Cloud said, "You do raise a good point, I was shocked just watching Galeem take everyone out just like that. But, some of them were my friends, I need to help them, and I don't care if I have to go through every official here to do so."
"And you're gonna have some help," Sonic said, deciding to make himself visible by entering the room. The others sighed and followed wishing Sora had left first.
"Sonic," Tifa said in disbelief, "Geno, Layton...Decidueye?"
"And me," Nathaniel said making himself visible, "I'm here to, just putting it out there."
"How did you guys survive," Cloud asked, "Everyone thought you somehow got obliterated trying to escape to Japan."
"Well not exactly obliterated," Layton said, "more or less sent forward in time. December 7th was a couple of hours ago to us."
Cloud, Sora, and Tifa just stood there until Sora just said, "That's it, I have no idea how time travel works." Time travel is actually pretty simple, sort of.
"Point is," Sonic said, "we're here to break you two out." He pulled out a couple trench coats and handed then to the… three of them?
"Wait I'm coming to," Sora said, "I need to stayhere, I'm the main character of a game coming out in a couple weeks."
"Sora," Cloud said, "if you help us, I will put in a good word for you for Master Hand."
Sora thought about this, he then smiled and said, "Ok, I'll come too. You think I would actually leave one of my best buds hanging." Cloud rolled his since Sora literally just said he was going to stay. How could resist an invitation to the Smash Mansion.
Cloud: This plan Sonic has better work, if not then I'm never trusting that hedgehog again.
They sneakily walked out of the room and went back to the door. Meanwhile, Tifa said, "Wait. Don't you guys have a portal raygun to get us out of here with no effort."
"Yes," Decidueye answered, "but we can't open one in here or else it may cause the walls to cave in on it. The properties of the portals can be very dangerous."
"We just need to get outside," Geno said, "after that, we use a portal and get back to the mansion. We'll then prepare to walk out the following day."
They opened a door just as the tour group from before passed by. Thinking their luck couldn't get better they jumped back in the tour in the back. The guide said they were heading back to the front.
However they came to a sudden stop when an alarm blared, red lights started flashing, and a voice over the intercom was heard. The person on it said, "Chūmoku no sutaffu! Cloud, Tifa, Sora ga yūkai sa reta! Sekyuriti eizō wa sumasshu manshon kara jūmin made o shimeshite imasu. Karera ga dasshutsu suru mae ni fan o toridashite mitsukete kudasai."
"Translation," Layton asked.
"Dude said the three of us were kidnapped by you guys," Sora said, "they're asking all staff to fan throughout the building."
"Okay everyone calm down," the tour guide said as people were panicking, "we are going to calmly leave the building." He started leading everyone to the front doors. "Sorry for the inconvenience in advance."
"We just need to keep following them and hope no one sees us," Nathaniel said as the group kept their heads down and kept walking.
They got to the lobby and were passing by the tour entrance when a hawk-eyed security guard noticed Sora's spiky hair and yelled, "HEY!"
Sora looks back to see the security guard running towards them and yells, "We've been spotted."
"Then I guess there's no point in keeping the disguises," Sonic yelled as he tore off the trench coat and threw it at the guard to slow him down.
Geno picked up on what Sonic was trying to accomplish and that and he and Layton did the same. The others just dropped the disguises as they ran through the tour group and through the doors. Decidueye was about to fire the portal raygun, when someone suddenly snatched it away.
"Who did that," Decidueye said as everyone stopped and looked to their left to see someone with a ninja like outfit. "Do you guys know who that is?"
"Yuffie," Cloud said as said ninja turned around to reveal herself, preparing to break the raygun. "You're with the company."
"Yes we are, Cloud," Leon said as he appeared on the right side of the group. "Going back to the Smash Island to stop a so-called "lord of light" is practically a suicide mission." Leon grabbed his sword. "The two of us are going to have to stop you right here and now."
"But what about Midgar," Tifa said, "We don't know how much time we have left, if we don't stop Galeem. Our homes may be gone."
Yuffie sighed and looked at Sora, "Sora! You're with them too! The next Kingdom Hearts game is literally weeks away! You are needed here."
"Listen Yuffie," Sora said, "What's happening may not affect this world, but it affects our homes. More than just us survived, some of them probably lost their homes when the lights beams came. And if our homes are destroyed, along with what's left of my friends just because we couldn't help, I would never forgive myself." (Sora's world was technically in the Nintendo multiverse since Kingdom Hearts had games on nintendo consoles. He, Riku, and Kairi were unaware of World of Light until Square Enix took Sora to headquarters) "Leon. Yuffie. If you were given to make one small choice to save the universe, what would you do."
Leon and Yuffie looked at each other before nodding, the ninja girl tossed the raygun back to Decidueye. "Good luck," she said, "you're going to need it if you're going to get our homes back." The arrow quill pokemon nodded and fired a portal heading back to the mansion. Everyone jumped in and the portal closed from behind. "You think we made the right choice?" Yuffie asked Leon as she walked over to him.
"Indeed," Leon said, "though we played a small part in this, it will most likely lead to a chain of events going to Galeem's defeat. Good luck, Cloud."
Smash Island
January 8, 2019
The portal opened back in the meeting room about four hours after they left. Master Hand was currently talking to Sakurai on something that happened just minutes before the game released a month ago. They were talking about a certain DLC.
"Ah, yes, I knew you could do it," Master Hand said as he noticed the group and walked over. "Cloud and Tifa, great to see you two again, but who is this?" his attention had suddenly gone to Sora.
Cloud: Who was that guy?... That was Master Hand?!... Wow we definitely missed a lot.
"I'm Sora," said Sora, "friend of Cloud's, I decided to come help out with your situation."
"Great," Master Hand said, walking back onto the stage, "we're going to need all the help we can get. In fact, Mr. Sakurai, should we tell them about our little extra helper."
"What extra little helper," Kirby asked.
Master Hand smirked as he snapped open a portal suspended in the air facing downwards while setting the suspension. "He come from a third-party company, and like Cloud, has never appeared on a Nintendo console. The doomer of phantom thieves, the very first DLC announce is." Master Hand did something similar to the Fortnite behold emote as faint screaming was heard. A slim man wearing a mask then fell out of the portal and faceplanted on the stage floor. "Joker from Persona 5!"
Joker then realized his maks had fallen off and he quickly put it back on and got up. "Where am I?" He then took a look around and saw Master Hand. "You, are you the one who brought me here. Well, if you think for a damn moment I'm going to let you live then you are mistaken." He took out one of his weapons and was suddenly frozen in place by Master Hand.
"Okay explanation is needed," Master Hand said as he walked up to Joker, "now, let me explain. You are currently in the Smash Island. The smash world and the Nintendo multiverse were covered by light beams, robbing everyone of their physical forms and turned them into spirits. Your world wasn't part of the Nintendo Multiverse since you didn't appear on any Nintendo consoles. Now, we need your help with stopping Galeem and saving our worlds, especially since you are officially a part of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate as the first DLC fighter."
Joker was freed of his grip from Master Hand and he put his weapon away and said, "Just fun and games Master Hand, no need to get worked up."
Kirby: Is it weird to say that Joker's personality seems to change based on how he feels… that's his programming since it's based on the player what he's like? Okay then.
"So when do we start," Joker said looking out into the small crowd."
"Tomorrow," Master Hand said as glances were shot towards him. "Well, it's been a long day, I would rather prefer you guys go to sleep for tonight. That way once it's the next day you'll all feel nice and refreshed. Come on Joker, let me show you your room." Master Hand led Joker out of the meeting room.
"Well then," Kirby said, "tonight we rest, tomorrow we save our friends and worlds." some cheers and claps were as we are now fast-forwarding to the next day.
Smash Island
January 9, 2018
It was 9:00 am and the team consisting of Kirby, Sonic, Pikachu, Cloud, Joker, Layton, Geno, and the one cameraman were currently preparing to head out. Kat & Ana said them and the others were currently working on a teleporter, so they could return the ones outside for the nights and then drop them off by where they left off.
At the foyer was the group heading out and Master Hand. "Now you guys need to be careful," said the disembodied hand, "out there is a changed world you guys have yet to witness. Some things may have been destroyed, but some things still stand. Good luck."
"Good luck to you too with the teleportation device, Master Hand," Kirby said. They all turned towards the doors as Layton opened them.
(music: Lifelight)
Colors weave into a spire of flame.
Everyone stared in awe as the Smash Island was not what it used to be
Distant sparks unto a path still unnamed.
Bare this torch against the cold of the night.
The camera zoomed all over the changed island. As it went into the same view Kirby saw in the trailer.
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light.
Multiple lifeless lands of the worlds stripped from their homes were shown. (the same ones that came out of the giant vortexes. One line for each one)
On that day, when the sky fell away. (Mushroom Kingdom)
Our world came to an end. (Hyrule)
In our eyes did a fading sunrise in the dark (Ylisse)
Glimmering shadows (Dream Land)
Silence grows in the spaces between (Colony 9)
Stretching out beyond time (Altea)
Rising up as the chorus of souls finds a voice (Diamond City)
Flickering through the void! (Inkopolis)
These little sparks cling onto life (Smashville)
Everyone caught in the struggle
And then the storms of change
The Group begins to walk down the hill a bit slowly taking everything in.
They fan the flames scattering ashes to the wind!
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight
No escape, no greater fate to be made!
In the end the chains of time will not break
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and re-awaken the undying light!
"What's that," Layton says as a spirit floats past.
As fate spins a thread without end
New life draws it's first breath
Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past
Where destiny holds fast!
Here where we stand hand clenched in hand
Everyone caught in the struggle
This is the day we finally find
A way stepping into our tomorrow!
The clouds around the mansion and hill slowly begin to part as sunlight comes in. Galeem takes notice of this, but doesn't suspect anything.
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamedz
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the Ultimate Fight!
Getting closer to the spirit, Kirby sees that the spirit is in fact Bandana Waddle Dee.
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising Slowly stirring heat from the coals
Kirby begins to run in the spirit's direction, the others calling after the puffball.
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the Ultimate Fight!
The group goes on a full on run following behind Kirby, as their journey begins.
Season 3 begins
January 9, 2019
Author/me: That's it for the month *publishes the episode and closes the laptop, turns around to see Crazy Hand* You shouldn't be here right now.
Crazy Hand: That's it. Nothing for the whole month! You've seen gameplay videos of the adventure mode for crying out loud, you can just go off that.
Author/me: That's the thing Crazy Hand, I don't want them to read a season where the gameplay is based off of a video on YouTube. I want them to see my decisions on the whole thing, my personal gameplay. The kind of shenanigans I imagine at some parts.
Crazy Hand: You're really willing to wait one month to post another episode.
Author/me: It's a small price to pay since I have to focus on my midterms coming up. Besides, there's still the Christmas special, the Fire Emblem story, and the revisions of course. I will still be delivering content to them, just, slowly.
Crazy Hand: Okay, but don't blame me when they start demanding the next season. *teleports away*
Author/me: We'll just have to wait and see.
