Lucas sat down in the dining hall. He sighed as he looked down at his food. He picked the fork up and slightly picked at it. Ness soon sat down with his tray of food. He sat in front of Lucas. Ness tilted his head and cut off a piece of his steak and put it in his mouth. "Something wrong, you look utterly exhausted," Ness said with a little food in his mouth.

"Ganondorf is working us up the wazoo," Lucas said. He groaned as he adjusted himself in his seat.

"You learned anything yet?"

"It's only been a week, but I learned this." Lucas put his right elbow on the table, holding his hand in the air. He clenched his fist and some dark energy emitted from the fist. Ness smiled and swallowed the piece he had.

"Wow."

"Yea, but that's all I can do for now."

"Better than me, Mario has barely taught us anything." Lucas chuckled which pleased Ness. "Anyway, you heard Ryu's class already went out for their first mission?"

"Really? Will Toon Link be ok?"

"I'm sure he will be, these missions are meant to be that tough anyway." Ness looked around and saw Pit and Roy running. Roy looked at them and ran over.

"You two, the principal has an announcement," Roy said happily. Pit stopped next to him.

"Are we really calling Master Hand principal?" Lucas asked.

"Guess we are," Pit shrugged. "Come on, it's in the Cathedral." Ness and Lucas stood up and followed Pit and Roy through the Monastery. The exited the main part to enter the cathedral. Inside was everyone but Ryu's class. Ness and Lucas took their seats. Master Hand floated around in circles for a bit before turning to everyone.

"Alright, I know this temporary school is, well temporary, that still won't stop us from bringing in new fighters. But obviously, we need to make some cuts," Master Hand said. Some of the fighters who had previously been cut groaned in worry. Crazy Hand started to laugh. "I'm kidding, there won't be any cuts." That's when everyone sighed in relief. "Now, just like last time, we'll start with people who are coming back." He then called the names of the Ice Climbers, Pichu, Wolf, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Young Link, and Snake. Ness nearly fell back in the joy that his friends were back. That's when Master Hand moved to the newcomers. "The first newcomer we have, are the Inklings." Two young kids came out. One with squiddy orange hair, the other with blue. They looked a little odd, but they seemed utterly happy to be here.

"Why are there so many kids?" Ganondorf asked.

"Don't worry about it," Crazy Hand said.

"Anyway, the next we have is Daisy," Master Hand continues. Luigi's eyes widen. He stood up then ran to embrace Daisy in a hug.

"Thank goodness we can see each other again, I was getting tired of using my little friend," Daisy smirked. Fox looked down and forced a smile for his friend. Wolf sensed what was wrong and planted a hand on his shoulder.

"Ridley, you can finally get your big ass out here," Master Hand said with a hint of joy in his voice. Ridley walked out and dodged a shot for Samus.

"WHY IS HE HERE," Samus yelled.

"Come on Samus, all I did was kill your parents, nothing too big," Ridley shrugged. Cloud looked at Samus and shook his head.

"You've gotta learn to adapt and change, if you don't, you won't make a good soldier," Cloud said. Samus looked down and clenched her fist. She then turned her arm cannon into her hand.

"I still hate you," Samus called out.

"Ditto," Ridley crossed his arms.

"Next up we have Simon and Richter," Master Hand called out. Two buff men walked out. They crossed their arms and looked at everyone. Richter looked at Cloud and walked over to him. Cloud had his eyes closed as he leaned against the wall. Richter cleared his throat. Cloud opened an eye.

"May I help you?" Cloud asked.

"It seems I have some competition," Richter said. Cloud looked and saw Simon on the other side of the cathedral.

"Not much competition, you're not even buffer than him." Richter looked back at Simon and slightly growled. "Now, leave me alone."

"Next up, Chrom and Dark Samus," Master Hand continued. Samus shot up again.

"You've got to be shitting me, her too!" she yelled. Cloud opened his eyes and glared at her. Samus sat down. Chrom and Dark Samus walked out and Lucina smiled. She and Robin waved at Chrom, and he grew a smile.

"Alright, big boy King K Rool."

"Aw, goddamn it," Diddy Kong crossed his arms. King K Rool walked out and glared at Donkey Kong.

"Hey buddy, it's been a long time," King K Rool ran over and pulled him into a hug.

"Not long enough."

"Aw come on, all I did was try to steal bananas."

"You tried to destroy my island."

"Well, that was a long time ago."

"Five months before I came here." King K Rool broke the hug and nervously chuckled.

"Truce?" King K Rool held out his hand.

"Fine." They shook their hands.

"Next up, the adorably pure Isabelle," Master Hand said. Isabelle walked out and Villager stood from his seat. He smiled and waved at her.

"Mayor, I'm gonna whack that ass for leaving me with the village," Isabelle nervously laughed and lowered herself in his chair. Mega Man tilted his head at Villager.

"Finally, we have Ken and Incineroar." The two people came out. They didn't stir too much of an audience so they sat down.

"You forgot me," someone said.

"I know, I tried to," Master Hand sighed. That's when a potted plant walked out. It gave a shit-eating grin as it looked around the others. Mario tilted his head.

"The hell?" Mario asked. He looked back at Bowser who seemed confused.

"Ah you Master Hand, when's my boy Waluigi getting in," Wario asked.

"When you get skinny," Crazy Hand chimed in.

"Tsk got it." Wario sat down.

"Anyway, you all may return to your monastery things. Ryu and his class will be back eventually. Oh, and everyone that is new and or coming back will be in their own class. You're dismissed." Everyone stood up happily and walked out of the cathedral. Crazy Hand floated to Master Hand.

"Why in Subspace did we have Piranha Plant in?"

"I-I don't know, just 'cause we could I guess."

While the new additions were being brought in, Ryu's class had made it to the interdimensional bus. They stepped onto it and the bus took off. They soon got to the Mushroom Kingdom. It seemed peaceful at first. They all stepped out and found themselves on a green hill. Peach walked forward and saw they were on Donut Plains. She tilted her head. Zelda walked forward. "I assume you know this place?"Zelda asked.

"I do, but I don't see why we need to defend this place," Peach said. They looked back at Ryu. He was looking at a small map. He got to the edge of the hill and looked from the map to the actual island.

"What's the details we need to know?" Mewtwo formally asked.

"What's with the formality, we all know you're secretly a pile of shit," Captain Falcon chuckled. Mewtwo plainly looked at him and snapped two of his three fingers. Captain Falcon fell down as if his gravity changed. This earned a single satisfied chuckle from Mewtwo.

"Stop the fighting, we need to focus," Ryu said.

"Umm, guys, I found one of 'em," Dr. Mario said. Ryu turned around and saw Dr. Mario was holding a Goomba.

"But, isn't Bowser back at the monastery?" Diddy Kong asked.

"He is, that means someone else is leading his army," Peach said.

"Bowser has weird looking army members," Toon Link said as he tapped on the Goomba's head. That's when he felt the air around him being inhaled. The Goomba soon left Dr. Mario's hand and entered Kirby's large mouth. Kirby swallowed and smirked.

"It looked tasty," Kirby said. Ryu shook his head and closed the map. He then suddenly jumped from the hill. Zero Suit Samus looked down at Ryu flawlessly land and continued to walk.

"Huh, well, guess that happened," Zero Suit Samus said. She then jumped. The rest soon jumped and followed Ryu through the island. They soon got to a castle. It was a tall castle.

"Are you here to help?" a young-sounding voice asked. Palutena looked around and saw a Yellow Yoshi. She walked to him and kneeled down.

"What's happened here, little guy?" Palutena asked.

"Wart, he took Bowser's army, and attacked us," Yoshi said. Palutena stood up and looked at Ryu.

"Where are they?" Ryu asked. The Yoshi walked toward the edge of the ground and toward the water. He then pointed at a building that looked like Bowser's head. In front were some Bloopers. That's when they started to float. Ryu thanked Mewtwo as Mewtwo floated forward. The others floated uncontrollably behind him. They got to the solid mouth of the Bowser's head. When they landed, Toon Link, Zelda, and Palutena took out the Bloopers. Ryu led the way further into the mouth. They all suddenly fell downward. When they came to, they found themselves on some hot ground. Peach shook her head and knew where she was.

"Great, this is one of Bowser's many castles," Peach said.

"This used to be his, but now it's mine," Wart said from way ahead of them. Peach crossed her arms.

"No one even knows you."

"NOT TRUE, SOME KNOW ME."

"Who?"

"Um, well, get them my army." Wart ran off and loads of Dry Bones jumped from the lava. Paragoombas and Paratroopas flew down, dropping some Goombas and Koopas. Ryu stepped in front of everyone, standing on the bridge between them and the growing army.

"This is it, remember what I taught you," Ryu said. He didn't hesitate to run forward. He slammed his foot in a Goomba, and soon the rest of his class ran forward. Wart watched from the distance, getting slightly worried. A loud explosion caused many of the troops to fall in the lava, killing them. Wart turned around and tried to run. That's when he suddenly stopped. He was forced to turn around to see Mewtwo.

"You're a frog, not a pussy, no running," Mewtwo said. He tossed Wart behind him into a Shoryuken from Ryu. Wart fell down into a powerful, chi-fill Falcon Punch from Captain Falcon. Wart launched into the lava.

"Oh, he's dead," Toon Link said. Dr. Mario shook his head.

"Nah, he'll be back as some type of skeleton," Dr. Mario said.

"Do you even do doctor stuff?" Zelda asked.

"Rarely."

"Well, that's it, we may go back to the bus to take us back to the monastery," Ryu said. With the help of Palutena, they were able to float out of the head and toward the bus. They boarded it and the ROB drove them back. When they did they saw someone who was new. Diddy Kong knew who this was.

"Mother of God," Diddy Kong sighed.

"What's up?" Zero Suit Samus asked.

"King K Rool, Master Hand seemed to have added new people." Zelda looked out and saw Young Link walking around with Ness and Lucas. Zelda grew a smile.

"He must've brought people back," Zelda added. The bus stopped and they walked out. Ryu stepped out first and stretched. He walked forward and Mega Man ran over.

"How was it?" Mega Man asked.

"Easy, but pretty place," Ryu said.

"Ryu, it's been a bit," Ken said from behind Mega Man's head. Ryu looked up and smirked.

"If it isn't Ken, goddamn." He walked up and they gave each other a manly arm shake. Mario walked over with his arms crossed. Ken and Ryu looked over to him.

"Must've been tough for your class," Mario said happily.

"Nah, not really. It was like a flick of the wrist." Mario's face grew a little angry.

"My class will beat yours, you'll see." Mario turned around in a scoff and stomped away. Ryu tilted his head and chuckled.

"You're gonna whoop his ass when the tournament resumes, aren't you?"

"100%."
