The Remnants of Smash
Chapter 17: Ganon an Ally?! The Fate of Macro Cosmos? And a Fallen Smasher...
"Hmm!" Meta Knight stood his ground as he held his stand as Ganon's sword collided with his. The Star warrior fought bravely with his other kin as Kirby came to his aid holding the ultra sword in his hands swinging it as Ganon jumped out of the way. Sonic dashed at him punching him as many times as he could before using his speed to avoid his attacks.
All Huntsman and Huntress. Team RWBY, Team CFVY, Team JNPR were defeated by the great king of evil. His power surpassing them in every way and nothing they had ever seen before.
It was just the three of them. The other smashers had fallen as well. They were starting to lose hope. But, just as all hope seems lost lighting strike Ganon as he was knocked into the ground from the air. He quickly looked up to see Raiden in the sky above him.
"The demi-god." He muttered under his breath as he chuckled.
"I'm guessing this will finally start being interesting." Ganon thought as he watched Hyde, and Carmine joining them. Soon, came Snake along with the squid sisters in their agent outfits and their grandfather as they pointed their weapons at him.
"What do you want?" Meta Knight questioned as the gerudo looked at him, the mere thought of them questioning his motives puzzled him. Surely, they would know why he was here.
"I'm here to save these people from you!" Everyone faces soon went blank when they heard what Ganon just said.
Before they could continue to process it, a giant metal fist crushed Ganon into the ground. It was Octavio in his Ocotbot as he started to mix his fresh beats.
"And you wield the tri-force of power? Huh, didn't know you could die so easily!" Octavio taunted, his words soon backfiring on him as the metal fist exploded into purple energy as Ganon flew into the air grabbing Octavio as he threw him out of the Ocotbot and into the ground below.
"It's over you don't stand a chance. Surrender." Ganon announced.
"Something… something is not right." Sonic thought. "There is no way this guy can be Ganondorf he isn't acting like him. He looks just like him with that cape and his looks, but why was he calling us the dark smashers before this? What is all this about!?"
Raiden flew forward as he proceeded to rump into Ganon with his entire body surrounded with electricity, bringing him high into the sky. Raiden summoned lighting at him from his hands. Ganon irritated by the lighting god grabbed his head as he headbutted him. The two crushed into the ground below them.
Raiden looked back only to be stabbed by Ganon's sword on his right shoulder. He punched Raiden as he proceeded to beat him down one punch at a time. He then grabbed him by the throat slamming his head into the ground.
Ganon looked at the Raiden with the sole intention of killing him.
"Raiden… you were never once were a good person. You were always meant to become Dark Raiden, it's time I end you." Ganon said as he raised his sword, ready to slice off his head.
"Morpeko! Aura Wheel!" A young girl shouted as Ganon, who surprised was hit from behind by an electrical wheel.
"Ugh! Why… who did that!?" He said as he slowly turned around noticing it was just a young pokemon trainer.
"Oh, a mere pokemon trainer. Stand out of my way, I have unfinished business to settle with!" Ganon shouted as he turned around to look at Raiden. Slowly walking up to the lighting god, as he continued to mock this so-called protector of earth realm. Raiden attempted to stand up only for his hand to get crushed by Ganon's foot.
"There are fates worse than death, Raiden." But before he could swing his sword at Raiden's neck.
Marnie dashed in front of Ganon as she moved out her hand protecting Raiden from him. Morpeko jumped into the air attempting to use crunch as Ganon knocked it away with his right hand. Marnie was about to take out another one of her duskballs, but before she could, she was slapped in the face by Ganon's palm. He slowly waked up to her to see if she was alright. She was injured, but she would live, he had no choice she was in the way. Ganon took a closer look at the girl and he paused as he watched Marnie slowly tried to get up with all her strength. Blood coming out from her nose and mouth dripping down her neck.
"Wait… you are that girl from Galar. Piers's younger sister. This… This doesn't make any sense you are supposed to be dead..." Ganon turned to notice the other smashers all here to stop him, he threw his sword onto the ground. Shocking everyone around him.
"We need to talk," Ganon said as everyone around him gave him an utterly confused look. "I'm Ganondorf. I'm sure all of you must know me, I'm one of the heroes from my universe. I ended up here after my universe was about to come to an end before being sucked up by a white void by the being known as Galeem. Judging from your actions and the events that had occurred I finally know what the two gods are doing, they are combining different universes together. You all must had come from a universe where everyone is the polar opposite of one another to mine."
"Wait… hold up. You, a good guy? Yeah, like we're going to fall for it, right guys? Umm… guys?" Marie said as she turned to look at her teammates.
"It is starting to make sense. Why you didn't kill any of us." Meta knight said as Ganon nodded.
"I also notice you aren't the meta knight from my universe, his mask is cracked and neither is Sonic from my universe, he is supposed to be black not blue. In my universe, all of you are evil, you then formed a group of super-villains from the different worlds in my universe called the dark smashers. I'm guessing there an evil version of me here on Remnant from your world?"
"We aren't sure of that at the moment." Meta Knight replied as Ganon looked at him.
"Oh, what about egghead. You know Doctor Ivo Robotnik? Is he still fat in your universe? Well on the bright side at least he is good." Sonic said in a joking manner with Ganon turning to look at Sonic with a frown.
"You killed my friend Ivo by crushing his skull!" Ganon said with a hint of hatred for the hedgehog in his tone. Sonic could only nervously laughed in response.
"Alright, now I'm really confused..." Hyde said scratching his head as he lowered his blade.
"Screw you! Why don't you fight us like a real man you dip- Arghhh!" Carmine screamed by the shock from the electrical collar around his neck failing to attack Ganon as he continued to swore.
"Poyo," Kirby said as he approached Ganon.
"No, I wouldn't!" Ganon replied.
"Poyo." Kirby said with a sad expression.
"Sigh… I will work with you and the rest of your team. And to answer the boy with the spiky yellow hair's question. It's because the two gods are combining worlds not just from their universe, but from many of the different universes and now alternate universes as well. However, I'm sure that there will be no use of my world though."
"How come?" Snake asked as Ganon sighed.
"Because… I'm the last remaining savior of the league of heroes I'm part of and the sole savior of my universe. The worlds in my universe similar to yours were combined into one world and when it did the world went into chaos by the dark smashers. The league of hereoes and my friends… Eggman, Bowser, Sagat, and Piers. All killed by the dark smashers, Ryu killed Sagat, Mario killed Bowser, Sonic killed Eggman, and Piers was... I can't say it now not in front of all you. However, even after beating us they and their pawns from their own respectively worlds continued to destroy the one sole world we were left with in a desperate power struggle among one another. Until there was nothing and no one was left on both the side of light and dark, but just me…"
"That first part sounds very familiar…" Sonic said as everyone looked at him. Clearly, they all knew what this means.
"I don't want Remnant to suffer the same fate." Ganon said as he took back his sword.
"Why don't you join us." Meta Knight said moving his hand outward.
Ganon looked at Meta Knight for a belief second before smiling.
"I wouldn't mind. You are the second strongest being on your world after all." The two shacked hand as Kirby looked at Snake.
"So… how are we going to explain this to the rest? Especially, Clementine." Sonic asked as Snake just shook his head. He then turned his attention to the girl in black and pink, he watched as she was staring at him before turning away after she was seen.
"What is your name, girl?" Snake said as Marnie looked at him. Snake used his hands to wipe the blood dripping from her mouth.
"Oh… My name is Marnie. I'm from the Galar Region and I wanted to help you out when I saw that squid girl saving her mightyena." She said nervously.
"Oh, look. Another pokemon region I had never heard of like seriously how many do you guys have?!" Sonic said as he crossed his arms with Marnie looking at him puzzled.
"I'm still trying to get used to talking people with animal features." Marnie said before covering her mouth realising she was offending him.
"I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed. Sonic looked at her with a blur expression as Snake turned to look at her.
"You mean a faunus? Ahaha, kid he isn't one, but he is an animal." Snake said as Marnie nodded her head. Sonic looked at them frowning.
"Come on, David really?" Sonic thought as he watched the two continued to talk to one another. He turned his attention to see Ganon and Meta Knight in the distance helping the different teams and his other friends who were beaten out by attending to their injuries with very puzzled looks on their faces. Raiden slowly got up as Hyde quickly walked up to him.
"Oh, so that is what you call them!" Marnie said with a delighted expression.
"I think you should join us." Snake said as Marnie looked at him surprised.
"But... Why?"
"We need as many people as possible to be aware of the current situation here from the different worlds here on Remnant. I'm going to tell Otacon there is no need to call in reinforcement now."
"Oh, thank you! I actually didn't have a place to stay before this." Marnie said with a little sadness in her voice. She seems to be able to not express much facial expressions often making it harder for Snake to know what she was really thinking and feeling.
"Don't worry kiddo. Everything is fine." Snake said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. Her eyes filled with determination as Morpeko stood on her other shoulder, they really brought a smile to his face. In the distance was Clementine who was shouting with confusion as Ganon trying to pick her up from the ground due to her injuries only for her to transform into her squid form hiding behind Meta Knight.
Somewhere close to Vale...
Inside the airship, the pokemon trainer and the koopa king were having an awkward dinner with the rest of the crew staring at her. She continued to chew on her food unphased by this.
"So… Oleana you are telling me you lose everything trying to create this invention of yours called the dynamax band?" Bowser said as he took a bite out of a giant steak.
"That is correct." She said as she sipped her drink. Kamek constantly looking at her with distrust.
"Then what happened?"
"I was saved by a man… his name was Rose. He is the CEO of Macro Cosmos's and he saw potential in my invention. I was so amazed by such a man… he was always thinking ahead and always working toward the future, not the present! He saved me without him I would have been in debt…" Oleana said sorrowfully. The times she would go on days without food, those were the days she would never ever forget, but she also met her life long companion during those times.
"What happened to you and him?" Bowser asked genuinely curious.
"We both were in jail in our region Galar after Rose caused the darkness day to occur, after being transported here we decided to set up Macro Cosmos again, but here on Remnant. We provided banking service, dust innovation, and free dust trading to the entire of Remnant, it only took us a few months to become a titan in the industry. Everything was going well as we continued to rise and rise the only thing that was standing between us and complete market dominance were the schnees. But we were starting catch their eye, the CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, he took the coward's way out. He collaborated with the newly founded Lysandere's Labs and together they bought 51% of Macro Cosmos's stocks."
"That's it?" Bowser said as he looked at Oleana, she clenched her fist as her fingers started twitching rapidly. She grabbed the table flipping it as the koopa troop jumped away.
"Holy shit!" Kamek shouted.
"NO! That bastard Jacques! He wanted Lysandre to challenge Rose to a pokemon battle and if Rose won he get to still remain as CEO, but the reality was he would be just a mere puppet figure to them and if he loses he would have to resign as the chairman of the company. Rose didn't stand a chance against Lysandre's team. The company got dissolved into the Schnee's Dust Company and its name no longer matters. It was forever erased. Rose was devastated like nothing I had ever seen before."
"Well, that actually sucks..." Bowser responded as Oleana calmed down.
"After that, I and Rose wandered around aimlessly, we spend almost everything we had left to get here from Atlas. I was sleeping with Rose in a hotel we stayed for the night."
"Woah!"
"NOT WHAT I MEANT… What I meant was we were in a hotel with no place to really call home at the moment on Remnant since we were constantly on the road after losing the company! One day after sleeping in our hotel room. I woke up and he was gone, just an empty bed next to me… I spend the rest of my entire waking moment from then on to find him and that was when I found you… I need your help to find the man who gave me a purpose in my life." Oleana said before she growled, slamming her hands onto the table.
"I will offer you everything! I can even help you become a giant again! I had never tested on anything that isn't a pokemon, however, I know this wouldn't be your first time going big." Oleana said as she placed a dynamax band on Bowser's hand. "We would need more then just the band. But, imagine if you could go back into the previous old parts of your story where you could beat giant robots and a train... again!" She said as Bowser looked at the band in his hand.
"What would you want in return?" Bowser replied with a grin. Oleana returned the grin as well before laughing.
"To find Rose and destroy the schnees!"
In the darkest parts of Vale, a lone woman was walking alone. She scrolled through her scroll with nothing interesting in her feed. Then, it happened a small spark of electricity falling onto her hand. She jumped in response, curious she looked up only to see the horror that was above her.
On one of the electrical poles was a dead body completely electrocuted and burnt to a crisp. It looked like it was there for almost the entire day, a small amount of smoke emitting from the body.
Completely shocked she accidentally hit the pole only for something belonging to the victim to fall onto the ground. It was was a yellow crown with black patches all over it.
But in the middle of it, was something. It was an emblem.
A daisy emblem.
Author's Note:
Hey, guys. Been trying to find the time to watch a few Fire Emblem Awakening support conversations in preparation for the next chapter. Yes things had gotten dark, I was thinking if I should avoid important characters deaths but felt there would be no impact if there weren't any in such a story. So taking the advice from one of my readers, I will be adding short character's bios for every new charcters introduced into the story that isn't a smasher starting of course with our two new characters from Pokemon Sword and Shield and this version of Ganon. I will be going back to do the same for every other character as well such as Carmine, Hyde, and Raiden also stating the games which they come from as to help my readers who may be unfamiliar with their series to better understand it and the characters as well. These will also introduce the events that happened to each character before the events of Smash Bros Ultimate and the beginning of the story.
I also had recently been trying my best to get my story onto Archive of Our Own.
