Author's note:
Crazy Hand *punches down the door* I'm baaaaaaack!
Me/Author: Just in time. It's January 9th, therefore the first episode of season three is here, along with the beginning of my gameplay of World of Light. Apparently there are spirit battles that have Kirby as the main character you fight, so the same will go for Sonic, Cloud, and Pikachu despite having survived the light beams in my story, but some other characters will take their places in the fighter unlock battles. Now for the interesting part. World of Light is a very big story mode, and I want to at least start season 4 AKA the official tournament by April 26 (the 20th anniversary of Super Smash Bros.) Unfortunately this is the only episode I have done due to holidays and me wanting to take a break, but I tried to cram in as much as I could (about 6,000-8,000 words per chapter) but should this begin to take too long I may just skip a bit of the story and do dungeons, spirits close to fighter battles, and the main boss battles. But that'll be later on for now let's begin.
Crazy Hand: You have a list of revisions, right?
Author/me: Oh right. Unfortunately due to break, me playing ultimate, and midterms in December the revisions are quite delayed. Here's a list of all the major changes happening, and if they already been put in.
Season 1 Episode 1 The arrival (revised version posted): A short scene of how King K. Rool turned off the simulator.
Season 1 episode 2 Tournament (still in the works): The "Party Room" is being renamed to "Ballroom." At the time it was planned to be big in the beginning, it still is. I was thinking it to be used for events rather than formal events.
Season 1 episode 4 Punishment (still in the works): Swapped Pac-Man out for Shulk since the monado boy was caught by Master Hand in the previous episode. Pac-Man didn't even appear in that previous episode once.
Season 1 episode 7 The date(still in the works): Plan to add a scene of Zelda comforting Lucina.
Season 1 episodes 10 & 11(still in the works): I will add a scene of Dedede's tour group inside said person's castle. Both parts will have slight title additions.
Season 1 episode 13 Guests(still in the works): Agent 4's name has been changed to Nia, reasons to this were already stated, but if you don't remember then look back to Season 2 episode 12.
Season 1 episode 21 The octarian's invasion pt 3: DJ Octavio(still in the works): I will be adding/replacing the original ending with an alternate (still good ending) if DJ Octavio didn't change sides suddenly, considering if he's still a bad guy in the anticipated Splatoon 3.
Season 2 episode 4 Trick-or-Treat(still in the works): Captain Falcon's roommate has been switched to ROB. This is because he signed the petition held by Chrom way back in the beginning of the series. This was overlooked when originally writing the episode.
Season 2 episode 8 Competition(still in the works): Mistakes we made. I had sent Lana back to her world for not having a good reason to become a resident, yet she still became one in the end. So I either have to remove her from the mansion's roster, or come up with a reason for her. Probably gonna do the latter.
Season 2 episode 10 Gratefulness pt 1: Wedding(still in the works): Link has taken his rightful place as the guy taking pictures.
Season 2 episode 12 Satsui no Hado(Revised version posted): Apparently Cloud was in WoL after all, so things were a bit altered.
That is all
P.S: I know I said this at the very beginning of the series, but since it's been awhile I'll say it again, I own NOTHING. All characters, spirits, and music belongs to Nintendo, CAPCOM, Square Enix, SEGA, etc. I only own my octoling OC in this story
P.P.S: All music mentioned in this episode and future episodes are indeed songs you can find in Ultimate. I will point out if they are a new remix, original to the game it came from, or a remix from the past.
Also, I know some people are complaining about WoL not having a ton of cutscenes. What we need to do though is remember what Mr. Sakurai said and I quote, "I'll show you how it began and leave the rest to your imagination."
Everyone, welcome to my imagination. Season 3 of The ULTIMATE Smash Bros Series begins now.
Season 3 Episode 1: Crossroads
(January 9, 2019)
Kirby was still running down the hill chasing after the spirit of Bandana Waddle Dee when suddenly, the puffball came across a strange portal. He looked above it to see that it was a Smoky Progg possessing a copy of Mario. Kirby recalled Olimar talking about this kind of enemy before.
"Kirby," Sonic said running up to the puffball, "you can't just run like that, I know that spirit was one of your closest friends, but we have bigger matters than that." he noticed Kirby looking down. "Look, I promise that when we stop Galeem we'll save them all, every single person. But you can't do it alone, we have to work together." Sonic then noticed the portal himself. "Whoa, what is that?!"
Cloud, Joker, Geno, and Professor Layton then followed close behind. "What is that," Geno asked.
"That's what we were wondering," Sonic replied. He then felt a buzz from his phone and noticed a message from Master Hand. "Hm, have we ever used the groupchat?"
MH: Hey, uh, There's some things I should've explained before you guys went out.
Sonic: Such as?
MH: The portal you're at will take you to a battle. One with the spirit said above on the board. Defeat that spirit and it should join your cause in defeating Galeem. Kat & Ana are sending over some that we found right now.
Cloud: And which direction are these spirits are going to be coming from.
MH: They're following the same path as you, so not to long. Kat & Ana how's progress on the transporter going.
Kat: With the help we're getting now we might finish it today. When we finish we'll tell you guys and swap out some of you out with others.
Ana: Think of it as a ninja like circulation.
MH: The spirits should be there now, good luck.
Joker: Have you guys ever used that groupchat like Sonic said?
Cloud: Pretty sure about a quarter of us remember the groupchat.
The group heard some weird noises and looked behind them to see spirits of Deku Link, Dive Man, and Masked Lumen (a couple spirits I unlocked on the spirit board and classic mode and stuff. Fun fact: Deku Link was the first spirit I got when opening the game). "Well," Kirby said, "I'll take care of this first fight." Kirby motioned the Masked Lumen spirit to help him out, he didn't think he needed the others. The puffball then jumped through the portal.
Smoky Progg(Mario) vs. Kirby
Music: World Map - Pikmin 2(Brawl Remix)
Stage: Distant Planet (omega)
Kirby landed in the stage and was attacked by the Mario copy. Kirby then went ahead and used a forward smash on it to launch it off the stage. As the copy was flying though it turned into metal and jumped back to the stage. Kirby then did some attacks that didn't look like they did much and was hit himself. Kirby managed to send him off the stage again, but once again the copy metal shifted and made it back to the stage. Kirby decided to wait and charge up his hammer. Once the copy got close he swung it and sent him offscreen. The spirit of Smoky Progg slowly floated over to the puffball.
(end music here)
The group watched as Kirby came back through the portal with the spirit, the portal dissipated and the path was opened. The group began walking. "So how many spirits do you think there are," Joker asked his colleagues, "I mean, there shouldn't be too many, right."
"I have a feeling that number is somewhat over a thousand," Professor Layton said as they approached the next portal, they looked up. "Eevee?"
"That's a pokemon from Pikachu's world," Cloud told Layton. He then turned to the hedgehog, "Sonic maybe you should take care of this one."
"You got it," Sonic said as he grabbed the Deku Link and Dive Man spirits and went into the portal.
Eevee(Yoshi) vs. Sonic
Music: Main Theme - Pokemon Red and Blue (Melee Remix)
Stage Yoshi's Island (brawl)
Sonic jumped into the stage and saw a blue yoshi, who then threw down a pokeball and released Eevee. Sonic simply fired the steel diver to take the first one out of the screen. Yellow one appeared, this one with a screw attack and jumped. Trapping Sonic in a few electrical attacks, the hedgehog then did some quick jabs as the red yoshi, armed with superspicy curry, came in.
Sonic was being ganged up by two yoshis and his percentage was going up quick, he quickly dodged out of it and did a quick forward smash sending the yellow one out, but not the red yoshi. The curry was still on him, and that was causing a lot of trouble for the blue blur. When the curry disappeared Sonic dodged to the other side of the yoshi and unleashed another forward smash and ended the match.
(end music here)
Sonic came back out with the Eevee spirit. "That was not easy," said the hedgehog, "pretty sure I was nearly yoshi bomb into oblivion."
"Let's just trek ahead," Geno said as the group continued.
Geno: Welp, now I know for sure I ain't going into one of those portals.
The continued until they reached another portal, this containing Celeste. Kirby went on ahead and jumped in without giving it a second thought, and without any spirits. "Will he be okay," Joker asked.
Cloud shrugged, "We'll see."
Celeste(Jigglypuff) vs. Kirby
Stage: Smashville
Music: Outdoors at 7 PM(sunny)/Main Street - Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS/Wii U remix)
Kirby landed in the smashville stage and was greeted by a Jugglypuff slowly running up to the puffball. Kirby was confused at first until the Jigglypuff copy got next to him and used rest. Kirby dropped the urina he acquired from the smoky progg and landed. He noticed that the copy wasn't using any other moves, Kirby figured the enemy favors down specials. When the copy got close to him again he quickly dodged and used his hammer. The copy shielded but the swing was enough to break the shield and sent the copy flying. (I kid you not, that actually happened in my battle against this spirit.)
(End music here)
Kirby came back out with the Celeste spirit and the group continued forward. They were finally reaching the bottom of the hill when they came across a different kind of portal. This one had a figure with shapes similar to Galeem. The group looked up and gasped.
"Mario," Professor Layton said in shock, "I thought we would to go a father before rescuing anyone.
"I think we have to battle him in order to free him from Galeem's control," Sonic said. "Cloud do you mind going in there."
"No actually I don't, I will do this fight if it means freeing a fighter," Cloud said as he jumped in with spirits of masked lumen as the primary, and Celeste and Smoky Progg as supports.
Mario(controlled) vs. Cloud
Music: Final destination(ultimate)
Stage: Final destination
Cloud landed in the final destination stage, and the spirits with him were quick to grant him their abilities as a urina soon appeared in his hand. The ex-SOLDIER then saw the red plumber running towards him. Mario did a dash attack and a forward smash to send Cloud back a bit. Cloud the threw the Urina nailing the red plumber in the face. Cloud quickly began charging his limit, but Mario interrupted with a down air. Cloud the used cross slash, and charged forward to hit Mario with a dash. The red plumber came back and unleashed a few more moves on Cloud. The ex-SOLDIER's limit break was charged. He quickly used a powered cross slash on Mario and sent him off screen
(end music here)
Cloud waited a few seconds to see if he had to bring Mario back, or jump back through the portal and Mario would be on the other side. He heard a thud and turned around to see Mario unconscious on the floor of the stage. Cloud picked up the plumber and went back through the portal.
Mario joins the battle!
Upon returning to the group they quickly surrounded Cloud as he put Mario carefully on the ground. "Are we going to wait for him to wake up," Sonic asked, "cause if we are that may take too long."
"Don't think that's the case," Joker said pointing at Mario, who was now waking up.
The red plumber opened his eyes and saw seven faces looking down at him. The plumber sat up and said, "What-a happened."
"Do you want the short story or the long story," Kirby asked.
Geno: Please not the long story we don't have enough time.
"I want-a the long-a story," Mario demanded
Geno: *looks down* dangit.
One long story later…
Mario looked at everyone with a blank face, "So let-a me get this-a straight." he pointed a Sonic, Kirby, Pikachu, Geno, and Professor Layton, he also pointed at the cameraman, but he hardly get acknowledged. "You-a five fell through-a time disruptor that-a sent you-a one month into the future." Mario pointed at Cloud, "You and-a Tifa, joined with-a Sora, were-a busted out of-a Square's headquarters." Mario pointed at Joker, "And-a you're the first-a paid DLC for Ultimate."
"Yeah that pretty much sums it up," Kirby said as clouds began to part. "Looks like we should continue." the group continued onwards.
When coming across the next portal, Mario said he'll take care of it and give the others a chance to rest. With the same spirits Cloud had he jumped in.
Guardian(ROB) vs. Mario
Stage: Great Plateau tower (omega)
Music: Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer BGM
Mario threw the urina as he was flanked by a giant ROB. He dished out a couple attacks and was confused at how it wasn't being launched. He then remembered that Link told them that guardians usually stay on the ground, the only attack they know is a laser. Mario knew this meant the enemy favored the neutral special and the forward smash. The red plumber continued hitting the robot time and time again, bringing down its stamina. The ROB copy then started hitting the red plumber with a bunch of lasers. Mario then used a forward smash and took it down.
(end music here)
Sonic: Surprised we're getting through these fights very easily. This whole thing will be a piece of cake. (A/N I did this on normal mode. I may have seen the cut scenes, but as far as battles went I flew in blind.)
Mario came back through portal with the spirit and the group came up to a three-way crossroad. They soon heard a mysterious voice.
Choose wisely, you'll only be able to free one, for now.
"Who's that," Cloud shouted.
Really, none of you recognize the one who sent beams through this world in the first place.
"Galeem," Kirby said in fear.
Joker: The lord of light can use telepathy. That decides it, this Galeem is no longer a laughing matter for me. I'm going to help these fighters hit him where it hurts.
Indeed, I could trap you here right now to keep you from going further, but I'm a curious being. Free one, the other paths will be blocked.
"What are our options," Sonic asked.
To your left is Marth, ahead of you is Sheik, and to your right is Villager.
"Everyone huddle up," Mario said as the group huddled. "So who are we-a freeing."
"Marth has gone through a war before," Sonic suggested, "maybe this whole World of Light thing will be similar to him."
"I think we should do Villager, a kid doesn't deserve to be controlled for that long," Joker said. The group did a bit more arguing back and forth until they agreed on Marth. Mario ran to the portal and jumped in.
Marth(controlled) vs. Mario
Stage: Final destination
Music: Final destination
Mario landed in the final destination stage and faced a Marth under control. Mario went ahead and used his dash attack to send the swordsmen into the air and used an up air. Marth was able to quickly counter Mario and landed safely. Mario quickly used his cape, but missed and suffered a shield breaker. Marth then came with a dancing blade and sent the red plumber back. Mario was quick to recover and rolled back onto the stage. Marth was about to turn around, the red plumber hit him with a forward smash and sent him offscreen.
(end music here)
Marth came back down unconscious. Mario grabbed the swordsman by his legs and dragged him out.
Marth joins the battle!
Mario returned to the group with an unconscious Marth in tow. A copy of Master Hand arrived and snapped the other two paths shut. Cloud quickly grabbed his phone and went back onto the now usable groupchat.
Cloud: I thought Master Hand broke free of Galeem's control.
MH: I did, that was one of the remaining copies. There's a few more like him left, I don't know where they are though. Also, our radar is picking up that you freed Marth.
Cloud: Yep, Marth's with us. He's waking up.
Marth was slowly opening his eyes to see Pikachu looking down at him with his trademark smile. "Pikachu," Marth questioned, he sat up and looked around, "where are we?"
"We're-a in a remade Smash Island," Mario said walking up to the swordsmen. "I just-a freed you from-a Galeem's control."
"Really, well thank you, Mario." Marth then noticed the two blocked paths. "What about Sheik and Villager?"
"We'll-a have to-a come back to-a them at-a later time." Mario motioned for the group to continue on. "The smash Mansion is-a still here, and-a it's-a the home base. But they have-a yet to-a finish the transporter, and-a why did we-a stop so soon!"
"There's another spirit blocking the path," Sonic yelled back as Marth pushed forward to see the spirit in question was Charlotte Aulin.
"Charlotte," Marth said to himself, "could've sworn I've heard Richter talk about her before."
"Well what are you waiting for," Joker said putting his hand on Marth's back, "go on in." The phantom thief of heart pushed Marth into the portal.
Layton: Joker knew Marth for five seconds and he already made an enemy out of him.
Charlotte Aulin(Zelda) vs. Marth
Stage: Bridge of Eldin (battlefield)
Music: Hail from the past (Original music from Castlevania: Protrait of Ruin)
Marth faceplanted in the bridge of Eldin stage. "I'm gonna scold that guy when I get back," said the swordsmen as he slowly got up only to be hit by the reinforcements spirit, Richter. Marth got up quickly and saw copies of Richter and Zelda. "Well, this seems unfair, but will do." Marth went right ahead with a dancing blade on Richter, and was then hit by din's fire. The Zelda copy kept on spamming it.
"Looks like this spirit favors the side special, I can counter that," Marth said as he slashed Richter away and landed a few hits on the Zelda copy. Marth was hit by a cross twice, he then turned around and used a forward smash on Richter. The copy failed to recover and died. Marth the turned his attention Zelda copy and used a shield breaker on her. When she got back to the stage Marth unleashed a forward smash and ended the match.
(end music here)
Marth came back out with the spirit of Charlotte Aulin. The clouds cleared and the group continued forward. "Young man," Marth said walking over to Joker.
"Joker."
"I need to have a word to you about manners when close to the hero-king."
"Let me guess, is that hero-king you?" Marth nodded, "Then many apologies for pushing you into that portal, your majesty." Joker bowed.
"Flattery won't work on me."
"I wasn't trying to flatter you, I was apologizing."
"Can you two break it up ," Cloud said walking over to them, "we have more pressing matters as of right now." Marth obliged, but not before giving the Joker the 'I got my eyes on you' gesture and walked away. The ex-SOLDIER turned his attention to Joker "Akira."
"How did you know my actual name," Joker questioned.
"I know quite a bit more than you think. Word of the wise, and I'm going to warn you once. Don't do or say anything that's going to outright offend Marth." Joker nodded and the two caught up with the group, currently at another portal.
Cloud: Hopefully, Joker won't try messing with Marth again, but with what we've seen of him so far. He's probably a lost cause if he offends Marth again.
Not only one portal, but two, the path split and there was nothing stopping them from going to one or the other. Sonic was examining the portals and spirits. After awhile, he finally spoke, "Okay so ahead of us is Don Bongo, pretty sure he was one of Yoshi's enemies in his world. But also kinda freaky looking. To our right is Reyn, one of Shulk's friends, best friend maybe."
"Well Sonic, who do you think we should do," Kirby asked the blue blur.
"I think we should do Reyn and continue on that path. Then later on we could go back to Don Bongo if we wanted to."
"I say that is as good as anything," Geno said walking over to where Sonic was, which was the portal for Reyn.
"I'll oblige to this," Joker said walking over as well, "we could use some extra muscle in our spirit crew."
"Very well," Mario said, "we will-a do Reyn first and-a come back to-a Don Bongo later on. Marth, if you don't mind."
"Not at all," Marth said grabbing the spirits of Charlotte and Dive man, and going through the portal.
Reyn(Ryu) vs. Marth
Stage: Gaur Plain (battlefield)
Music: Time to Fight! -Xenoblade Chronicles(original music from Xenoblade Chronicles)
Marth landed in the battlefield form of Gaur Plain and was face to face with a copy of Ryu holding beam sword. Marth figured it was meant to complement the character and went forward with a dancing blade. The copy hit Marth with the beam sword, "Talk is cheap," said the copy, taunting. Marth didn't fall for the taunt, but was rather perplexed that the copies were capable of dialogue. He shook out of his head just before the copy came with a down air. The hero-king grabbed Ryu and did a back throw.
The copy then taunted again and hit Marth with the beam sword, sending the hero-king a bit far back. Marth realized if he didn't do something quick, he would be sent out of the stage. Marth used a shield breaker as the copy taunted again and then used dancing blade to end the match.
(end music here)
Marth came back with the spirit and said spirit was going all over the place, almost as if it was looking for someone. "Is it, err… he okay," Sonic asked the group.
"Don't know, don't care, let's continue," Cloud said, but the spirit then went up in his face.
"You just collect spirits and ignore them, that's rude," The spirit of Reyn said startling the group. "I was looking for Shulk, my best bud, hoping he was with you guys. Guess he isn't." He then noticed the shocked expression he was getting. "Why the faces."
"Whooo.." the spirit of Celeste (just so were clear, this is Celeste from Animal Crossing, not the game Celeste) "It's because they never saw a spirit talk until now."
"You can definitely imagine that," Dive Man said going up to them. "If I was in their spots, I'd be freaking out too."
Charlotte Aulin: I would talk with the other spirits, but I don't want to startle the remaining survivors any further.
"You guys could-a talk this-a whole time, yet you-a never said-a anything," Mario said flabbergasted.
"Yep," Reyn said floating on down to Mario. "Name's Reyn, but you probably already know that, bet Shulk told you all about me."
"Do you-a mind if I ask, why are-a you looking for-a Shulk so-a bad. He was-a one of-a the few being copied by-a Galeem, unfortunately."
Reyn seemed like he was getting a downhearted tone. "Back when I was younger, Shulk and I thought each other as brothers. We made a promise that we would have each other's backs, but now I can't do that."
"Hey," Kirby said, "it's like what Sonic told me when we started today, no matter what happens we can save our friends. We just have to work together." Kirby looked over at the hedgehog, who, in turn, gave the puffball a thumbs up.
Sonic: Who knew I'd be quoted today.
"You know what, you're right!" Reyn said, motivated, "together we can save our friends and homes, let's go!" The spirit bolted away.
"Wrong way," Charlotte said as the group bagan walking in the opposite direction.
Reyn came back, "I knew that."
The group kept going until they reached a spirit of Chespin. While the others were figuring something out since there was a roadblock up ahead. Marth decides to grab the Spirits of Reyn, and Celeste and went into the portal.
Chespin (Ivysaur 3x) vs. Marth
Stage: Kongo Jungle
Music: Battle! (Wild Pokemon) Pokemon X and Y (original music)
Marth came in and noticed this would be harder than the last battle because not only there were three of them, but one threw down a pokeball containing Chespin. Fitting. Marth went ahead nd landed a few attacks, but was then hit by a pleamortha of bullet seeds. The hero-king could barely get out of it, and each time he did he would only have a few seconds before being sent into the air again. I got worse as one picked up a fire flower and started using it.
Marth's FS meter then filled to the max, he used critical hit and sent one out of the stage. He then managed to get a few more hits on the other two and sent them out with a forward smash.
(end music here)
Marth came back out with the spirit of Chespin. "So, which way are we going," Marth asked.
"Well," Mario examined the paths "Kammy Koopa is-a to our-a left, but we concluded that-a path may lead to-a dead end, ahead of-a us seems to-a be the bonus fruit Pac-Man throws around-a. We decided to-a take that-a path."
Sonic: I suggested we go down the Kammy Koopa path because I felt like it would lead us to something important. But to my dismay, no one listened, I swear these guys hate me to some degree.
Cloud: *passing by* You finally get it.
"Okay, onward," Marth said as the group passed by the Kammy Koopa spirit (don't worry I know what that path leads to). When they got to the bonus fruit the hero-king spoke again, "Who will be taking this one."
"I can," Kirby said walking forward, "I've rested enough." A couple spirits followed behind Kirby as the puffball jumped into the portal.
Bonus Fruit (x2 Pac-Man) Vs. Kirby
Stage: PAC-Land (omega)
Music: PAC-MAN (3DS/Wii U remix)
Kirby noticed that this was a timed battle and he only had twenty seconds to take them out. This meant he had to be fast, but it also meant it would be easy for him to launch the copies out of the stage. Kirby dodged the fruit being thrown at him and used his down air to damage them a bit. He then went with a dash attack and sent the two out.
(end music here)
Kirby came out with the spirit, everyone else wondering how he did it so fast. Before Sonic could ask the question his phone buzzed. He and Mario looked at it.
Kat: Great news, we finished the transporter.
Sonic: I thought you said it was a teleporter.
Ana: Well, we had learned that there already was a kind of teleporter device inside the mansion, so we changed the name at the last second.
Mario: Have we ever used this groupchat?
Cloud: We do now, unfortunately.
Spitz: What we're going to do is transport some of you back to the mansion, mainly the ones you've freed, that way they can get resituated in the mansion.
Decidueye: Then we're going to send Nathaniel and I to you guys.
Sonic: Wait how did you get a phone, Decidueye?!
Kat: That's not important, get ready.
Sonic looks up and in an instant he is back in the smash mansion with Mario, Cloud, Kirby, and Geno. The hedgehog turned around to see Decidueye and Nathaniel leaving through the transporter.
Joker: So how long do I think it'll take for them to get here? Hmm, about a minute at the most, considering how fast Mario and the others were sent back. *notices something* Hey Marth, Pikachu, Layton, check this out.
The hero-king was walking over to the phantom thief, "What is it?" he asked.
"Look over there," Joker said pointing to what looked like and entrance to a mine. "It may be a dead end, but I think it could be important, like very important."
"I doubt that," Marth said walking back over to where they were. "Now we need to stay here until the others come." Nathaniel and Decidueye appeared beside him. "And they're here, let's move on."
Marth was stopped by Decidueye. "Actually Marth, we were given orders by Master Hand to head down there," the arrow quill pokemon said pointing at the mine.
The hero-king looked over at Joker, who was giving a knowing smirk. He then sighed, "Fine." the group walked back over to Kammy Koopa. Once there Nathaniel jumped through the portal.
Kammy Koopa(Bayonetta) vs. Nathaniel(octoling OC)
Stage: Paper Mario
Music: Ground Theme- Super Mario Bros. 3 (ultimate remix)
(So I think we can agree that if octolings got in they would be echo fighters of the Inklings so Nathaniel moveset will be the same as Orange and Blue)
Nathaniel landed in the Paper Mario stage and took in his surroundings. "Well would you look at that, the landscape is made up of cardboard," he said. The octoling was then hit with a star rod. He got up and looked in front of him to see a Bayonetta copy. How did this kind of spirit get a body like that, he thought while gulping. He then snapped out of it, reminding himself he had a job to do.
Nathaniel quickly rushed forward with the octoshit and fired rapid shots. The copy jumped over and used the down air dive. The enemy then turned invisible, but this was pointless since the star rod was still visible. He agent easily buried the copy and used an octobrush, covering the copy in ink entirely. He then used the blaster and sent the copy out of the stage.
(End music here)
Nathaniel came back out with the spirit, "you guys are never gonna believe who the copy was," he said.
The spirit of Kammy Koopa then whacked him in the head. "Respect your elders," said the magikoopa as the group continued forward.
They reached another spirit close to the mines, and Decidueye looked up. "Let me guess, Samus's gravity suit," asked the arrow quill Pokémon.
"Yep," Marth confirmed, "Samus always told us she had plenty of suits fitted to help her out in situations, never thought we would ever fight a spirit of it." The hero-king noticed Decidueye jumping in.
Gravity Suit(Samus) vs. Decidueye
Stage: Castle Siege (lava portion)
Music: Sector 1 (Brawl Remix)
Decidueye landed in the final part of the castle siege stage, which fitted the spirit well. The arrow quill pokemon then noticed his jump power was decreased. Feeling this didn't matter as long as he wasn't sent off the stage Decidueye used his dash and spirit shackle to deal some damage. The copy didn't let up easily though, it was quick to send Decidueye off the platform. The arrow quill pokemon was able to quickly recover with brave bird and used leaf blade to end the match.
(end music here)
Decidueye came back out with the gravity suit spirit, and right in front of them was another spirit. Upon looking up everyone was struck with confusion, "Master Spirit?" Nathaniel wondered. "What the heck is that." The octoling then felt his phone buzz.
MH: Radar's picking up that you've come across a master spirit.
Nathaniel: Yeah, what is that.
MH: A special kind of spirit, free them from Galeem's captivity and they can help you out by opening a gym, dojo, exploration outpost, or a shop.
Marth: That's why you sent us over here, you felt like the master spirit could help us on our journey with training the getting items for us to use.
MH: Exactly, good luck.
Marth, along with the spirits of Masked Lumen as primary and celeste and a farfetch'd that came out of nowhere as a support, went into the portal.
Nathaniel: Hang on, Alph wasn't a resident, right? How is he currently one being copied by Galeem.
Decidueye: If I missed a guess I'd say it's because he's an alternate costume for Olimar in the games.
Nathaniel: Then how come he was never invited to the mansion?
Decidueye: *shruggs*
Master Spirit Charlie(Alph x3) vs. Marth
Stage: Garden of Hope

Marth landed on the stage to notice he was currently holding lip's stick, ignore how it got there he decided to use it anyway and hit the copy. After a couple attempts of trying to hit the copy, the hero-king realized the stage was slippery meaning he had to take to the air. Marth was able to land an up air, and a counter on the copy.
The more copies of Olimar then dropped down and joined the fight, making things exceedingly difficult for Marth. Soon enough he threw lip's stick at a copy and was able to use dancing blade one it and sent the Olimar copy offscreen. He then turned his attention to the remaining copies. After a swift counter he was able to use a forward smash on both, ending the match.

Marth came back out, "Okay master spirit," Joker said walking up, "we freed you now open up the mines or something." The spirit did nothing, "do we need to do something before they can open location?"
"Yep," everyone looked behind them to see Master Hand. Some grew worry, "don't worry, I'm still under the protection orb, I'll be fine." The group sighed as the man of the mansion walked up to them and tossed a blaster of some kind (it's the blaster used in the spirit board) to them. "With that thing you can restore the physical form, of anyone you need to. In this case, you have to restore Charlie's physical form, in order for him to open the caves." Master Hand teleported away thinking that was explanation enough.
Marth examined the blaster, "Professor, would you like to do the honors."
"Very well, Marth," Professor Layton said taking the blaster. "Everyone get behind me, as far as we know this is still a prototype." The group did so and Layton fired.
The blast hit the spirit and in a swirling, brilliant light show, Charlie's physical form appeared and fell to the ground with a thud. This made some of them wince, hoping he was okay. Charlie raised his hand in reassurance as he got up. "Don't worry, I'm fine." he said, "now then, I can take certain spirits you have into the caves, we would mainly be looking for items. It will take six hours at a time. Since your spirit team isn't that big yet you can come back at anytime."
"Well, we thank you for your help Charlie," Marth said, "but yes we may come back here at a later time, for now let's head back to-" Marth noticed one of the cameremen(not the one that was currently recording things) coming out of the caves. "Huh, forgot that we had one cameraman with us." The hero-king pulled out a phone.
Marth: We found one of the cameramen, think you can transport them back to the mansion.
Kat: Will do!
Marth looked back up to see the cameraman being transported. "There, now that has been taken care of let's go back to where we were before Nathaniel and Decidueye joined us." Charlie waved goodbye as the group left.
Once back to the portal containing Blaze the Cat, Marth volunteered to go into the portal once again since the group looked exhausted from all the walking today. Marth was the only one that could endure this. The hero-king jumped in with the gravity suit fast behind.
Blaze the Cat(Robin) vs. Marth
Stage: Green Hill Zone(Battlefield)
Music: Reach for the Stars (original music from Sonic Colors)
Marth landed and was welcomed with a lava floor which sent him up, but didn't do as much damage as it should've. The hero-king then faced a copy of the female Robin holding fire flower. Marth went ahead and tried to attack but was stopped by the fire flower and was once again greeted by the lava floor. The copy eventually lost the fire flower and began using arcfire. Marth found more openings with this and dealt some good damage onto the copy without touching the floor. The copy eventually grabbed a steel diver and began firing, Marth was quick to dodge this and landed a powerful shield breaker and ended the match.

Marth came back out with spirit and Nathaniel, energized now ran ahead of the group to an intersection. To the group's left was a mushroom gorge, to the group's right was a fighter.
"I say we free the fighter first before going into the gorge," Joker suggested. Everyone in the group seemed to agree with him, including Marth. Nathaniel went on ahead into the next portal.
Rabbit Kong(Donkey Kong) vs. Nathaniel
Stage: 3D Land
Music: Arcade bunny's theme (original music from Nintendo badge arcade)
Nathaniel was able to take advantage of the moving stage by simply doing a back throw and then hitting the copy of DK off screen.

Nathaniel gained a bunch of surprised faces when returning, "What? I took advantage of a moving stage. Doesn't take too long if you know what you're doing."
Joker walked towards the fighter portal containing Pac-Man. "Finally, my time to shi-" He was suddenly transported and Mario took his place.
"Let's-a go," Mario yelled running into the portal. (sorry I don't have a moveset for Joker quite yet.)
Joker: (back at the mansion) Oh come on! I was so close to making a shocking debut to them.
Pac-Man(controlled) vs. Mario
Stage: PAC-LAND(omega)
Music: PAC-MAN'S PARK/BLOCK TOWN (3DS/Wii U remix)
Mario landed in the stage and was face-to-face with Pac-Man. The dot muncher started instantly with a side b and hit Mario. The red plumber retaliated with the cape and a forward smash. Mario then charged up his F.L.U.D.D. When Pac-Man got close to Mario he managed to land a few more hits. Mario was quick to recover and back threw Pac-Man off the platform. The dot muncher tried to recover, but Mario used his F.L.U.D.D pushing Pac-Man back and failed to try to recover again.

Mario watched as a freed Pac-Man came back down, Mario grabbed the retro character and dragged him back through the portal.
Pac-Man joins the battle!
When Mario came back through he had something to announce to the group. "We're-a stopping for the day, it's-a starting to-a get a bit late." Mario pointed out as the sun was beginning to set. "Master Hand suggested we not stay-a outside at-a night, could-a be too dangerous." They were all transported.
The group reappeared back in the mansion, with Master Hand waiting at the entrance to the room. "Pac-Man is still out, I assume."
"Nope, I'm awake," Pac-Man said sitting up and looking around at everyone in the room. "Our forces dropped drastically huh?"
"They have indeed," Master Hand said, "but luckily thanks to my powers we still have an abundance of food to feed everyone here, and for viewers we can now record some antics that happen inside the mansion again, since we now have two cameramen. For now though, everyone to the dining room, you're probably pretty hungry since you've been out all day." The group nodded and left the room with Master Hand close behind.
Master Hand: We may still be a small group, but… I have a feeling some shenanigans may happen in here as time goes on when fighters return to the mansion. As told by Kirby, today we freed Mario, Marth, and Pac-Man. Our radar picking up someone else in the mushroom gorge, that's where the group is heading tomorrow. I have confidence that we can win, but that may be awhile.
Author's note: Hope you guys enjoyed the first episode, this one contained 16 battles. Just so you know a lot of work went into this particular season, the next episode will be released tomorrow. Also, I am happy to announce that another request period is on the horizon. Starting today and throughout the season I will take request on which characters you want to see interact with each other, or a focus point. Just note that only one cameraman is stationed inside the mansion by the time this episode ended, I will only be able to do one focus point at a time starting at episode 3. See you soon.
