Author's Note: Guess who decided to bring it early, like the person I am I've decided to get this episode out before I even finished the third episode of this season. Anyways, it's the season you've all been waiting for, the tournament is about to begin! Along with that is how the tournament is going to work. I will put all current 73 fighters into a tournament randomizer(I've seen enough to know what Banjo's move set will be like.) The rounds they will be in will be random, the qualifiers will end up choosing some fighters to go against each other in order to bring the total count down to 64. After that it will be standard. The first round will have all items on and normal stages with hazards activated the stocks at 3 the whole tournament. The second round will have all items on and battlefield stages with no hazards. The third round will have omega stages and assist trophies/pokeballs off. The quarter finals and semifinals will have omega stages and only the smash ball on. And the finals will be omega stages only, no items. I will run the battles on my copy of the game with lvl 7 CPUs. However we're not going to get into the battles until the next episode. This episode is just everyone coming back to the mansion. With all that out of the way let's start reviews. First of all, I need to address something I got from Pinkrose4452

"So... the preparation for the tournament began... and Sonic does his pranks, which Master Hand thankfully knows and allowed him. Mario passed out because of Banjo. I mean, if you haven't seen someone for a long time, it would make sense. I liked seeing everyone's reactions to the direct. I also liked the kongs and rool's reactions as well. At least the four dragon quest heroes are at the mansion. I wonder what's going on in Sora's world, through, its probably the DLC in KH3. Anyways, I have one question. It's sad, and I'm sure you heard the news.

What are your thoughts about Etika's passing? Also, what's your reaction about his passing?

I wasn't that much of a fan of his, but its really sad to see him pass that way. I was surprised to see him trend on Twitter that soon. I had a feeling that it was going to happen after he was reported missing. May he rest in peace. RIP Etika."

I did, in fact, hear the news. I don't watch him often, like I rarely watch him. I first learned about it when I was on instagram (I don't remember which day.) The post I saw said that the police had found his personal belongings at the Manhattan bridge. The person that had posted it was hoping he was fine. To me though, the police finding items at a bridge was not a good sign to me.

The more I thought about it the more it seemed possible. I never looked back onto it, to what I feel like was my mistake, when the thoughts got too deep to me. I never stopped thinking though, it was very possible. My thoughts were blank, I just couldn't believe it. My reaction, again I just couldn't believe it. I was in youtube and looked up the channel name when I found out. Just to check if there were updates to see it everywhere.

I guess we can all hope that he can rest in peace. I had a few lines for Crazy Hand this author's note, but I had to cut that out because of this. Next review is from ultimateCCC.

"Why do I get the feeling that Kazooie will start flirting on Falco even though he already has a girlfriend named Katt Monroe?"

I don't think I'll have Kazooie do that. I don't think that's really in her character. Next one is from Logbook27062000

"I think the letter was about Disney suing Nintendo for stealing Sora during World of Light.

Either that or master Xehanort having escaped from Kingdom Hearts to the Nintendo Universe."

No, but I laughed when I read that. And the other one is a no. Given five months since WoL in the story timeline Kingdom Hearts III ended awhile ago. Let's get started with season 4.


Season 4 episode 1: The Return
(July 2nd, 2019)

Yillse

In the halidom of Yillse, Chrom, Robin, Lucina, and Tiki were waiting for the bus Kapp'n drives to take them back to the Smash World. Just last week Master Hand got the camera crew gathered and sent them to certain groups in the multiverse to record their trip back to the mansion. Seeing the three fighters and assist trophy off was Lissa, Owain, and Frederick.

"You have quite the battle ahead of you milord," Frederick said to Chrom. "I hope you got all of your training done."

"Don't worry Frederick," Chrom said, reassuring the guard. "Robin, Lucina, and I have been training together for the tournament in the past two months." A portal could be seen, opening in the distance.

"Looks like our ride is here," Lucina said as a bus(1) came out of it. Looking closer they could see Pikachu waving to them from the window.

"We'll see you three at the opening day July 4th," Robin commented as the bus came to a stop. When the doors opened however they saw someone they weren't expecting. "J-Joker?!"

Indeed, the leader of the phantom thieves, with Morgana on his shoulder, was driving the bus. All he did was give a simple wave at the dumbfounded group.

Morgana: Master Hand has multiple buses going around the multiverse today to get everyone as quickly as possible. Joker and I were recruited to get this group of people. *holds up list to camera.* It'll take awhile but we'll be at the mansion no later than 4:00.

"Get on," Joker said, "I'm not the only bus driver today and we're on a tight schedule." The four, after getting over their shock walked onto the bus. Joker waved goodbye to the three seeing them off as another portal opened. The bus then sped off and into it.

As Lucina was looking around the bus, she saw Pikachu sitting on someone else's lap. "Samus, is that you?"

The bounty hunter was indeed the one Pikachu was sitting on, her armor was next to her. "It's been awhile Lucina." Samus then petted Pikachu, greatly pleasing the pokemon.

Robin looked around himself to see Mewtwo in the back. The Pokemon's eyes were closed so he assumed it was asleep and decided to ask Samus, "So, where's Ridley and Dark Samus?"

"No idea, they weren't at where I was picked up," Samus said. "And as far as Mewtwo has told me Red and Leaf weren't at their waiting point in Pallet town." Samus then shot a serious look saying, "Can you please stop asking me questions now." Robin and Lucina then sat back down.

"When's our next stop, Joker," Chrom asked the phantom thief

"We're currently searching for Red and Leaf's whereabouts while picking up others at the same time," Joker answered. "Since Pallet Town was a no our next try is Mt. Silver. If not that then the next try is the battle tree. However, if that's where they are one of the other buses can take care of them since we aren't assigned to pick up Incineroar and Decidueye.

Mewtwo's eyes shot open saying, "It was hard but I located the two. They are on Mt. Silver. Stopping there will be difficult though. I do have an idea." While Mewtwo explained Joker its idea Robin couldn't help but wonder where Kapp'n really was.


Another Portal Vortex

As a matter of fact, Kapp'n started off in his home world of Smashville. He currently only had Villager and Isabelle and was on his way to the second pickup point. "Where are we heading next Kapp'n," Villager asked.

"Well, the next stop is actually close by. Dream Land I believe," Kapp'n said as bright light appeared. "There's our exit." Kapp'n sped the bus through the portal.

Dream Land

And the bus ended up landing on the road up to Dedede's castle. He continued to drive the bus up. Currently running down its entrance was, in fact, King Dedede who had overslept and was now running to the waiting point. When he got there he practically collapsed on the ground in front of Meta Knight and Bandana Dee.

"And for quite awhile I thought you weren't going to make it," Meta Knight said to the fallen king. He was hoping Dedede would get himself up before the bus arrived.

Meta Knight: I forced myself to try and wake him up four times! He didn't wake up until he woke himself up and saw the clock. At that point Bandana Dee and I were already down here waiting for him.

"Luckily, you made it before the bus did," Bandana Dee said to the self proclaimed king of Dream Land. They then heard a familiar horn as the bus came up the hill. "Ah, there he is." Bandana Dee waved the bus down. Villager noticed the three and waved back as they got on.

"Okay, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee," Kapp'n said as he crossed the names off his list. "Next stop, Brooklyn." Kapp'n then put the pedal down and the bus sped off into another portal.

Portal vortex

"Wait how's that going to work," King Dedede said from his seat in the middle. "In order to actually drive around in New York City and get Little Mac and Doc Louis without anyone seeing us, you'd have to find and alley with barely anyone in it." Even then, finding an alley with no one in it other than those two would be extremely difficult.

"I just have to simply call in Marx or Mewtwo to locate the two," Kapp'n said as he reached into his walkie-talkie and said, "bus 2 to bus 4 and Smash Mansion, requesting assistance in finding Little Mac and Doc Louis's exact locations."

"This is bus 4, Mewtwo is locating the two now." Joker said. The line went dead for some time until Joker came back on saying, "Location found, sending you coordinates." Said coordinates ended up pulling up a satellite image of New York City and zoomed in on the boxer's location.

"Thank you bus 4," Kapp'n said as he hung up the walkie-talkie and sent the coordinates into the bus. An opening slowly formed a large distance away.

Kapp'n: It helps having two certain residents. One with Psychic powers and another with reality-bending powers.

"That actually seemed pretty easy yet complex," Bandana Dee commented as a bright light came over the bus.

Brooklyn, New York City

The bus came out of a portal in an alleyway where Little Mac was waiting in his hoodie. Doc Louis was by his side. Once on the bus Little Mac pulled off the hood saying, "You have no idea how hard it was to walk around without anyone following us."

"With a city that has over eight million people in it I'm sure we can imagine," Isabelle said as the bus took off into another portal. "Who's next on our list Kapp'n?"

"I'll disclose that as we get closer," Kapp'n said as the bus passed by another bus. "Oh hey, that's bus 1. They must be headed to London.


London, England

"Come along now Luke, we mustn't be late," Professor Hershel Layton said as he rolled his suitcase down the sidewalk in London. Luke Triton was following behind him with his own suitcase. "As gentlemen it is imperative that we are on time."

"Couldn't agree better myself Mr. Layton," Luke said as the two turned into an alleyway and stood, waiting. "When's the bus coming?"

"Patience Luke," Layton said. "Not everything happens right away." A portal began to open to the left of the two. "Ah, here they are." Bus 1 came out of the portal and stop next to the two. The doors opened to reveal Captain Toad.

Captain Toad: With my navigation skills, I was assigned a bus to drive. Master Hand has made me a temporary resident for the duration of the tournament.

"Well, This sure is a surprise," Layton said as he tipped his hat to the treasure tracker and got on the bus. Luke got on as well, after putting his and Layton's suitcases below. The bus then went through another portal.

Also on the bus was nearly all of the residents from the Mushroom Kingdom excluding Bowser and Mario. "I'm honestly surprised Toad is successfully driving the bus right now," Yoshi said.

"You and me both," Daisy said. "I thought I would be the one driving it." Too bad Master Hand remembers the big dent from last time the princess drove it.

"Unfortunately for you, I told Master Hand about how you nearly got all of us stuck in a time disruptor," Bayonetta said. The bus then took a sharp turn.

"Sorry, we got some rocks in the way here," Captain Toad said as he continued to dodge them.

"Oh, please don't have us go forward in time again," Professor Layton took off his hat and held his hands together.(2)

Static was heard from Captain Toad's walkie-talkie. The treasure tracker picked it up asking, "This is bus 1 what's your situation?"

"A certain angel was left behind because he woke up late," Dark Pit's voice could be heard from the walkie-talkie. "We're gonna have to ask you to make a detour back to him."

"10/4 I can make a detour for Pit once I make my stop in the Alola region for Incineroar and Decidueye," Captain Toad said as he hung up the walkie-talkie. A bright light then appeared as the bus went through a portal.

Melemele Island

The bus came out and went through the streets of Hau'oli city. It took fifteen minutes to get to the trainer's school, where Decidueye and Incineroar were waiting. Captain Toad slowly brought the bus to stop and opened the doors.

As Decidueye got on he said, "Good to see a few old friends here already." The arrow quill took a seat in the front while Incineroar took to the back.

Decidueye: Yeah, I still have the translator Tabuu gave to me when I was temporarily evil. I would throw it out but it makes communicating with others here so much easier.

As the bus went through another portal Incineroar began talking to himself saying, "Oh yeah, I'm ready for this tournament, gonna ace it with flying colors." Decidueye rolled his eyes despite being in the opposite end of the bus.

"Why couldn't have Master Hand made Empoleon a permanent resident," Decidueye said in annoyance. When seeing the questioning look from Luigi he whispered, "Incineroar is still thinking that he's not going to face any problems in this tournament. At this rate I think the only way he's going to snap out of it is if he gets out in the first round." Luigi nodded in understanding, it wasn't the first time a fighter was like this.

Luigi: Mewtwo was-a pretty much the same in-a the Melee tournament. Until he was-a defeated by-a Pikachu in the quarter finals. Sonic was-a also the same way in-a Brawl. Then, Robin because of his-a strategy skills-a. We get someone-a like Incineroar in-a every major tournament.

Captain Toad went back on the walkie-talkie saying, "Making a detour for Pit now." He quickly hung up and made a left, leading to a vortex heading for Skyworld. On the way they passed by Joker's bus which was almost to Mt. Silver.


Mewtwo had gotten everyone prepared for their arrival at the mountain, by ordering everyone to get to the back of the bus. "Get ready to slam the brakes," Mewtwo said as the portal opened and the bus went through.

Mt. Silver

The second the bus landed at the very top of the mountain Joker slammed the brakes and the bus came to a slippery stop. However, due to the speed beforehand the front of the bus was suspended over the cliff. Red and Leaf witnessed the event and ran to the cliff when the bus was stuck. Joker quickly opened the doors and Mewtwo used psychic to bring the two PKMN trainer onto the bus.

"Hold onto something," Joker warned as a portal opened a bit down the mountainside and Joker allowed the bus to fall over the cliff. Everyone was screaming as Mewtwo was now using psychic to guide the bus. The bus went through the portal and everyone landed on the floor as the gravitational properties of the portal vortex took effect.

Samus was up immediately yelling, "That could've gotten us all killed!" Pikachu was quick to calm Samus down and lead her back to her seat. "You're lucky my armor is fine," Samus said as she sat back down.

"Samus, there's no way we could've died if I'm the one that looked into the future for the best plan," Mewtwo said as it sat back down as well.

Samus: I don't care if Mewtwo can see into the future. If the pokemon does anything like that again, then he won't be getting off easy.

"A near-death experience though," Red said as he sat down, Leaf next to him. "I'm not living that down anytime soon."

"Then you probably don't mind if I asked you why you two were on Mt. Silver and not Pallet town," Mewtwo said, hoping to get a reasonable answer.

"We thought we could get one more battle for training in before the bus would come," Leaf said. Mewtwo looked down since that's not exactly the answer he was hoping for. "What? We would've rode our Charizards back."

"You realize that you could've done that anyway since we were going to get to the mansion at 4:00," Robin said, looking back at the two. Leaf was silent as Red facepalmed in his own stupidity.

"You said we get there by dinner," Leaf yelled at Red.

"I thought we were two," Red shot back with his hands up in surrender. "I must've misread the notice." A bright light went over the bus as another portal had opened.

Inkopolis

The bus came out of the portal and skidded to a stop before they could accidentally crash into the crust bucket. "Hey, watch where those things open up next time," Crusty Sean shouted at Joker, who nervously waved.

Joker opened the bus door and got out. "Sorry about that, but my bus is specifically on a tight schedule," Joker apologized. Crusty Sean looks like he wasn't going to take it. "Just point me to where Blue and Orange are and we'll be on our way."

"Haven't seen them yet," Crusty Sean told the phantom thief. "I keep track of the player count out here since my shop is the only one that can view the whole Square. I've noticed they usually get here around 9:00."

"And it's 10:30 here," Joker said looking at the dimensional clock on his phone. He then noticed the inkling and octolings talking up a storm on the final fest. "They looked more active then Blue and Orange make them out to be, what's going on?"

"The final fest for Pearl and Marina. The theme is driving people nuts. The whole thing is Chaos vs. Order," Crusty Sean explained. He then got an idea. "Maybe Blue and Orange are hiding because they want to stay for this splatfest."

"That can't happen, the tournament is happening in a couple days. I need to find those two now. Oh, and Callie and Marie," Joker said.

"We're right here," Callie said as Marie loaded their belongings onto the bus. "And I might know where those two are hiding." The idol then ran over to Sheldon's shop and went in. She came out one minute later dragging Blue and Orange out of the store with Sheldon's help.

Once they got to the bus Marie facepalmed saying, "Y'know if you get defeated in the tournament in time you can still come back for the final fest."

Blue: Sheldon betrayed us.
Callie: *in her seat on the bus* He didn't approve of what you were doing in the first place!

Once the four got on the bus Joker backed it away from the Crust bucket before opening a portal and driving into it. Sheldon was waving goodbye, as he walked back to his store he said to himself, "Hope they find Octavio and get him back here and into the snowglobe."


In another portal vortex was bus 3. Master Hand himself was driving this one with Crazy Hand flying above it. He assigned himself to get most of the residents who are from worlds that don't have playable characters in the game along with most of the third-party characters. So far he picked up Shovel Knight, Isaac, Snake, Gray Fox, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Cloud, Tifa, Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Pac-Man. Right now he was being told something from Joker's bus that he can stress about later.

"DJ Octavio is hiding somewhere in the Smash Island," Master Hand exclaimed.

"Dun Dun DUUUN," Crazy Hand said.

After Master Hand signaled Crazy Hand to stay quiet before going back to the walkie-talkie. "How did you lose track of him Marie? Wasn't he with everyone else when we defeated Galeem and Dharkon?"

"Actually, Agent 3 told me he didn't see DJ Octavio(3) there. He must've slipped away while we were all preparing to go and help you guys out," Marie explained. "He might make a comeback, we'll have to be careful." The inkling then hung up.

Master Hand slammed his head down on the horn, startling everyone on the bus. "Can't I go one tournament without a villain interfering."

Master Hand: No villains attacked during the Smash 64 tournament. However, in Melee when Banjo and Kazooie watched the tournament, so did Gruntilda. She attacked the place and interrupted things for a day. In Brawl the interrupter was Tabuu. In the sm4sh tournament the interrupter was a team consisting of Ridley, King K. Rool, and Starwolf. That one attack failed quickly once Ridley and Rool realized Wolf lied to them saying he was never in a tournament. Those three are all in the tournament now so we were forced to have that become water under the bridge.

"So not only we have to deal with Team Rocket, and King Boo but now DJ Octavio," Master Hand said in annoyance. "This is worse than the other times, with multiple characters we now have much more enemies to worry about."

"Well, if it helps bro I can send them into an infinite abyss," Crazy Hand said. Yes, he can do that.

"If I ever wanted you to send someone down an infinite abyss it would've been Tabuu," Master Hand said as an exit portal opened. "However, the fighters defeated him before I could call you in for that." The bus then went through the portal.

Rayman's world. (Just think of close to where the starting point of Rayman: Origins is.)

"This is going to be a quick one since we're behind schedule," Master Hand said to himself. The bus sped up as he quickly went and made few turns.

"Think you could more careful," Snake said with his face against the window. "You don't need to be this reckless on a road like this."

"That's the thing Snake," Master Hand said as a ramp of some kind appeared. "There are no roads here."

"Oh no," Cloud said as they went over the ramp and came crashing down onto the ground seconds later. Master Hand spun the bus and skidded it to a stop, right next to Rayman and Globox. The latter then pulled out a 10 out of 10 sign.

"Get on," Master Hand said as he opened the doors. Rayman said one last goodbye to Globox before climbing onto the bus. Master Hand opened the portal and drove through it saying, "I don't think I can pull something like that off again."

"Please don't," half of the passengers said as the bus went through the portal.


Smash Island (2:00 PM)

The residents currently at the mansion were preparing for a return party, as Master Hand said he needed to make the two new DLC announcements to everyone he had not called back. Along with a few important announcements regarding some residents and the tournament.

"What residents do you think Master Hand needs to talk about," Mega Man asked Zero as the two set up folding tables.(4) "It's definitely important, it always is."

"I can't tell for sure, but I do know about one of them," Zero said. He noticed that Mega Man was expecting him to continue. "However, I will respect Master Hand's wishes and not tell you about it."

Mario, who was no longer fainted of course, was in the wings in the ballroom preparing the stage lights for when Master Hand made his announcements. Helping the red plumber was Banjo-Kazooie. The bear-bird duo were making sure everything was leveled correctly. "Everything's looking good over here Mario," Banjo told the red plumber.

Mario: It-a definitely took awhile for-a me to-a get used to-a Banjo actually being-a fighter in the tournament.

"Great," Mario said as he left where he was to see for himself. "Thanks-a lot for your-a help, Banjo." The red plumber then went back into the wings to find the cart holding Master Hand's laptop. The bear-bird duo followed after the red plumber. "Now all-a we have to-a do is-a bring Master Hand's laptop onto the stage."

"What exactly does that man need from his laptop when he saying this announcement," Kazooie asked, popping out of Banjo's backpack. "Slideshows?"

"That and-a his speech," Mario said. "It's-a an encouragement for-a the beginning of-a the tournament tomorrow. He-a does it."

"He's the creator of the smash world, shouldn't he know what he's going to say, plumber," Kazooie complained, flapping her wings. Unfortunately, one of her wings knocked the open laptop off the cart. Somehow turning it on as well. "Oops."

"Kazooie," both Banjo and Mario shouted in unison, the latter picking up the laptop.

"Master Hand is-a going to-a kill us if we…" Mario trailed off as he read the notes Master Hand wrote down, which were things to tell the residents. The red plumber trailed off because he saw and read the note Master Hand was deciding whether he was going to tell the residents or not.

"Mario," Banjo said with worry of the face Mario was making. "Are you okay?" Banjo and Kazooie looked at the laptop to see what the red plumber was looking at. Banjo then got a sense of why Mario was worried and asked, "Mario, who's Sora?"

Banjo: After the explanation I was given I could already tell Mario was going to grill Master Hand hard.


It was now 4:00 o'clock and the residents at the mansion were watching as one portal opened up with four buses coming out of it. Once the doors to the buses opened all the residents came out. When Pit got off the bus he was on he quickly spotted Palutena and ran to her. "Lady Palutena, I'm so sorry for missing the bus," Pit said bowing his head in shame.

"Pit it's okay, just remember to wake up when someone tells you to next time," Palutena told the angel as the others continued to get off.

"Okay, time for the headcount," Master Hand says as the last of the residents got out. "Crazy?"

"Got it," Crazy Hand said, and instead of doing what Master Hand expected, started tapping the residents heads while counting fast, "123456789-"

"Not like that," Master Hand said loudly while facepalming at his brother. "Looks like I'll have to do the old-fashioned roll call." Master Hand then started saying names, following with that person saying "here."

Crazy Hand: Nothing but a boring roll call, skip ahead.

"Okay, everyone's here," Master Hand said. "Minus Henry of course, I'll tell you all now. He sent a letter a week ahead of time saying he does not plan on returning to the mansion as a resident. He says this is because things are more interesting on Yillse and he feels he has more of a purpose there than here.(5)"

"Everyone to the ballroom for a party," Crazy Hand said. "Unless you just want to go to another room, but WE DON'T CARE!"

"You mean you don't care," Master Hand said pointing at his brother. "If you want to go to another room it's fine with me." Everyone then made their way into the mansion. Cloud was going slower then most though because he noticed that the man of the mansion left someone out on purpose. Mostly because said person was not here.

Cloud: Master Hand didn't mention Sora, and I don't blame everyone else forgetting his name. He wasn't here for that long, but if Master Hand doesn't give a confirmation on his whereabouts I'll be asking questions later tonight.


Most residents were now in the ballroom catching up on what others missed and what they've been doing to prepare for the tournament. It eventually came time for Master Hand to explain the tournament rules. Master Hand was currently going over the notes on his laptop to remind him of what he was going to say. He then saw the note on Sora and made his decision on it. With the decision in mind he started to make his way out of the wings.

But before the man of the mansion could go out and give the rules and announcements he was confronted by a red plumber and a bear-bird duo. "Mario, Banjo, Kazooie," Master Hand said greeting the three. "If you don't mind I have to get out onto the stage."

"Which is-a why we're-a making this-a quick," Mario said before taking Cappy off his head. "Master Hand, the note about-a Sora on your-a laptop. Is-a it true?"

Master Hand was shocked that the red plumber actually found out. He looked to Banjo-Kazooie to see them nodded that they know as well. Master Hand sighed saying, "Yes, it's true. Sora won't be coming back to the mansion. For quite awhile. I reached out to Square, all they gave me was a secret ending trailer. It showed a world I can't get to."

"So you have no idea on what to do with this," Banjo questioned in which the man of the mansion nodded. The three then looked at each other and nodded letting Master Hand past.

"Mario, I hope you understand this but… I have to keep them in the dark on specifically Sora. At least until the DLC for Kingdom Hearts III comes out. Then I'll tell them," Master Hand said as he walked to the stage.

The residents quieted down as Master Hand began. "Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Smash Mansion. I know it has been a while and I know you're all eager to learn what the rules are. Well, first things first, we have to get the number down to 64." The large projector screen that was pulled down illuminated the name. "There will be qualifier matches in order to whilte our numbers down to that. Even then, Crazy Hand messed up our bracket so I will choose two of you that were eliminated then. The two chosen will be the ones with the lowest classic mode scores(6). After that it will be your normal tournament, the first round will be normal stages, and all items on. Each round will have a three stock count. Round two will keep all items on and switch to battlefield stages. Round three will be omega stages with summoning items off. The quarter finals will still be omega stages and only the smash ball. And the semifinals and finals will be omega stages with no items. Basically, the more matches you win the more restrictions will be put on."

"Seems pretty dynamic," Meta Knight commented. He then began to walk to the doors. "I may want to get a headstart on my classic mode." The masked warrior then left the room(7)

"Next, is the announcements. For instance Captain Toad will be here as a temporary resident. Marx decided to use his powers and transported everyone's items to their rooms. Or well, what he thinks were their rooms, if you have someone else's bags please bring them to the right person later tonight."

"Master Hand," Cloud decided to call out. "Where the heck is Sora?! You completely passed over him during roll call."

"I'm getting to that right now," Master Hand said knowing he was going to half-lie. "Sora won't be coming back to the mansion for awhile. I got a message from Mickey saying that while they were successful in defeating Xehanort they had a confrontation with one of the Organization XIII members afterwards." The laptop then showed a picture of the member. His hair was black and white, and he had an eyepatch and scar on his face. "This is Xigbar, I was notified by the mouse through a letter saying he may be on the Smash Island. I want you to keep an eye out for him, text me right away if you see him. Mickey assured me Sora will be back in the mansion eventually."

Cloud: Glad I got a confirmation. I'll definitely congratulate him when he gets back on his victory.

"That's it for announcements so enjoy the rest of tonight." Master Hand then stopped as he was walking away and said, "Get a good night's sleep too. For in two days, each and every one of your skills will finally be put to the test." With that the man of the mansion left the ballroom. A residents then began to leave soon afterwards.


Cloud was walking down the halls of the main building to the pathways leading to the fighter residential building when he was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around to see Tifa holding his suitcase. "Guess what Marx ended up putting in my room," Tifa said as she handed the suitcase to the ex-SOLDIER. "Wouldn't be surprised if he put my bag in your room as a joke."

"He is a jester, thanks," Cloud said as he was about to begin walking down the hall again. However, he and Tifa noticed a letter with a broken in half Mickey Emblem. "Is that the letter Mickey sent to Master Hand?" Cloud walked over to the letter and picked it up.

Tifa noticed Cloud was about to open it and said, "You sure you want to dig through Master Hand's mail?"

"He probably doesn't need this anymore since he told us what Mickey told us," Cloud reasoned as he opened the letter. He was in shock as he read something that was half what Master Hand told them.

(This is KH III spoilers. I'm very sorry but this is part of the Season 4 plot and the game has been out for half a year now. This had been planned since a week after KH III released

Master Hand,

This is King Mickey of the Disney Castle. You probably knew that though. While I know that Sora was in the mansion for a period of time, helping you with Galeem and Dharkon. I sent this to tell you something important. A couple months ago we finally defeated Xehanort and brought his terror to an end. However, while doing so Xehanort ended using Kairi in order to enter Kingdom Hearts. After he was defeated Sora set out on his own to save her. He succeeded, but at the same time he lost himself.

As far as we know he's gone, we don't know if we can do anything. But you have connections, you can probably help us out. Please, see if you can get anything that could give us an indication on where he is.

Also, I had a run-in with Xigbar, who I was surprised to see. He left quickly and dropped something, it was ominous. All it had was 'Smash Island' which led me to lead he was headed to you. Just keep and eye out for him.

Thanks pal,

Mickey Mouse

Both Cloud and Tifa didn't know what to say, Master Hand lied to all of the residents. Sora potentially being dead did not sit well with Cloud. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket stomping away. "Cloud where are you going," Tifa said with worry.

"To chew out Master Hand," Cloud said, Tifa than ran up to him and grabbed his hand. "Tifa, he lied! Sora is probably dead and he said he'll be back in the mansion eventually?"

"Meaning he did find a way to possibly get Sora back," Tifa reasoned. "Maybe it's best if you let Master Hand take care of it." Tifa let go of Cloud and walked away. The ex-SOLDIER sighed and started walking to his original destination.

Cloud: Master Hand may be doing his own way of things, but I'll be getting to the bottom of this whole thing if it's the last thing I do. Sora is my friend, even if I don't voice it often I'm actually going to be a friend this time and try to find him.


Episode 2 of this season is finished and will be released on July 4th.

(1) All the buses look like the ones that travel far distances. And have a cargo hold in the bottom. Just think of the Disney Magical Express.
(2) He still remembers the season 2 finale.
(3) Again, there are no main villains in this season. Just recurring ones.
(4) As mentioned in Season 3 and revealed in Season 2. Dr. Light moved his lab to the Smash Island. Both Mega Man and Zero were there the whole time. Dr. Wily was back on his home world though.
(5) I also forgot that Henry was a permanent resident until writing this episode. Realizing that led me to think that he's probably not cut out as a permanent resident.
(6) Scores will be based on my copy of the games.
(7) Meta Knight's score on classic mode is 1,121,310. It's higher than most, I'm going to redo the classic mode for all the fighters. However, this will unfortunately not affect Hero and Banjo. Once they get out, that's it. Unless, Hero comes out in time of course. Banjo however will be out of the tournament for good if he gets out.
