BGM: Back to the Roots - Cackle Tower (Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)
Everyone walked inside the lair, where they saw candleabras surrounding the entire lobby of the lair, complete with a dark purple rug laid out in front of them as the walls were decorated with purple banners. "Someone likes candleabras and… purple." Marisa sweatdropped.
"It's the Shadow Queen, what do you expect?" Reimu chuckled, noticing a huge chandelier hanging above them. "I have to say, never thought she'd be one for decoration."
"Bah, all of this looks tacky." Bowser said. "It ain't got nothin' on my castle!"
"Papa, I don't think now is the time to compare our castle to this." Junior said.
"The little munchkin is right." Xigbar said. "We need to find Queenie and get her out… that is, if some of you aren't chicken."
"Why do I have a feeling you were referring to me?" Demyx deadpanned.
"Heh, because I know you… though I'm surprised you're lasting this long. I imagine you'll be running tail the moment something scary pops up."
"Oh ha ha! I tried that… but lobster head over here has a big grip."
"I'm still wondering why I'm being called that." Ryoma said.
"Eh, let's not worry about it." Lea said. "Right now, we just gotta climb these stairs."
"Right." Byleth said. "We don't know what she'll throw at us, but we have to be ready."
"Exactly." Edelgard nodded. "Let's go." She said and with a nod, they walked up the stairs, where they were immediately greeted by some Swoops, but were shot down by Claude, Takumi and Sakuya, then they kept going up the stairs where Wizzerds and Dark Wizzerds appeared before them, only to get quickly destroyed by Ryoma, Xander and Camilla.
On the top of the stairs was a portal marked by a symbol. The symbol in question was a headpiece and markings painted on the face and it even had eyebrows. "That's Doomfist's symbol." Winston said. "It looks like we have to fight him."
"All of us against one guy, this should be easy." Marisa said.
"But hold on, take a look at that." Impa said, pointing near the portal. There were stairs next to the portal. "It seems as if we can move on while ignoring him."
"So what, just have a few of us go after Doomfist?" Luminary asked.
"Exactly." Impa nodded.
"We'll go take him on." Natsu said. "I'm a feeling this guy did most of the heavy lifting in destroying our guild mates."
"I will go with you." Winston said.
"Count us in." Reinhardt said with Brigitte nodding as Fairy Tail and those three walked in the portal.
"Let's go." Marisa said and they ran up the stairs.
End BGM
On the other side of Doomfist's portal…
Everyone hopped out of the portal, noticing they were outside in a destroyed city. "Where are we?" Lucy asked.
"This setting… this is where Tracer, Genji and I first fought Doomfist." Winston said.
"You are correct." A voice said as they saw Doomfist walking on top of the rubble. "This place brings back memories, doesn't it?"
"Doomfist." Erza aimed her sword at Doomfist. "You will pay for what you did to our guild!"
"While it is true that we destroyed your guild, Widowmaker did the heavy lifting with her poison mines, we just did the rest of the work when they were weakened. I am surprised that one of you got out alive." He said, glancing at Cana who let out a growl, clenching her fists.
"You killed them in cold blood…" Cana trembled in rage. "My father, Laxus, Mirajane, Lisanna, Alzack, Bisca, Asuka, Romeo, Droy, Jet, Master Makarov… and everyone else! You don't even feel remorseful about it?!"
"I do not. You allied with the group who is planning on putting a stop to the Shadow Queen. We decided to silence the guild as soon as they left to find the Crystal Star."
"You… you're gonna PAY FOR THAT!" Natsu yelled, his fists burning with rage as everyone got into their fighting stance.
"Hmph… it would be a shame if you tried to stop me only to have me kill the rest of you."
"That's what you think!" Elfman exclaimed. "Those who slaughter families aren't real MEN!" He yelled.
"Then enough talk. Let us begin."
BGM: The Encounter (Kingdom Hearts II)
Doomfist aimed his metal fist at them and started shooting them, as Reinhardt quickly jumped in to block this with his shield as Brigitte threw his flail at him, to which he backhanded the flail, then noticed Natsu above him who had jumped high in the air, while also Happy grabbing him. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu yelled, punching him directly in the head but he grabbed his arm and threw him to the side, then Winston jumped over to him and activating his Tesla Cannon, hitting him with high voltage.
"Nnngh!" Doomfist grunted, as he jumped back to avoid getting hit as Gray ice skated over to him, ice forming on his elbows and quickly slashing him where Juvia launched a torrent of water at him where Doomfist got knocked from the water after getting hit by Gray.
"Ice Make: Hammer!" He yelled, throwing down a massive ice hammer on him, but Doomfist punched the ice hard enough for it to shatter and he grabbed a hold of Gray, throwing him to a wall as he pulled back his fist and Rocket Punched over to Gajeel, hitting him dead in the stomach and used a Rising Uppercut to knock him in the air.
"SKY DRAGON ROOOOOAR!" Wendy yelled, hitting him with a full force of wind and slamming him into a wall, where Reinhardt unleashed a Fire Strike right at him to slam into hi. Doomfist got out of the wall and jumped up in the air, unleashing a Seismic Slam that knocked Levy, Lucy and Cana away as Elfman stood his ground and lunged at Doomfist, his arm changing into an Iron Bull and punched him head on.
"Your arm turned metal… you Fairy Tail mages never cease to amaze me." Doomfist said.
"Shut it!" Elfman yelled, punching him in the jaw as Doomfist responded in kind, resulting in a slug fest between the two before Doomfist unleashed an uppercut to knock him in the air and then he jumped up and swung his arms down, causing Elfman to slam into the ground. Doomfist landed on the ground and aimed his gauntlet at him, proceeding to shoot him but Elfman attempted to block this with his Iron Bull arm, but Doomfist punched him in the gut. "Gah!"
"You are no man." He said, aiming at his head to try and finish him, but Gajeel slugged him in the gut with an Iron Club, then Levy unleashed a Solid Script: Steam where steam was written in the air and she blew at Doomfist, where the steam was enough to slightly burn him as he let out a grunt, and then Natsu punched him in the back of the head, to which Doomfist back handed him to a wall. He then turned his head and saw Erza flying at him with Heaven's Wheel Armor and launched swords and axes at him, where Doomfist shot them all down as Erza readied her sword and slashed at him, but he blocked it with his gauntlet. With a clench of his fist, he shattered her sword and punched her in the gut hard enough for her to slam into the wall, then he lunged over and landed right on top of her, punching her in the back and shattering her Heaven's Wheel Armor.
"Weak." Erza was thrown in the air and then was rocket punched to a wall. "You are S class, but I do not see it here."
"Nngh…" Erza fell on one knee, coughing out blood and glaring at Doomfist. "I'm… I'm just… getting started! REQUIP!" She yelled, transforming into her Flight Armor and disappearing from his vision. He calmly inhaled before elbowing her in her diaphragm, making her wheeze in agony and then he turned around and socked her in the face, hitting her into Levy and knocked her down while Erza slammed into a wall.
"This is Fairy Tail giving their all? I am not impressed. You claim you are the strongest guild in Fiore, and yet here I am whittling you down." He said and then turned to Lucy. "This one hasn't done anything yet."
"Oh yeah?" Lucy smirked, and then suddenly Doomfist fell into a hole.
"Princess, it was a successful pitfall!" Virgo saluted.
"Thank you, Virgo." Lucy nodded.
"Meteor Strike!"
"Huh?" Lucy turned around and then Doomfist landed between the two, knocking Lucy down while Doomfist backhanded Virgo straight into Winston. It was enough to knock Virgo out and caused her to be sent back to the Spirit Realm. When Lucy shook it off, she saw Doomfist towering before her and then he grabbed her by the throat before she could summon another Spirit.
"Nice try, but that will not work on me." He said, holding her by the throat.
"Nnngh! Mmmph!" Lucy tried to pry herself out, but his death grip was not letting up… not to mention his grip was getting tighter. "Mmmph!"
"Worthless."
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Natsu's voice was heard as Doomfist turned around, only to get singed by Natsu's roar before several ice arrows pierced his shoulders and then Natsu jumped over and punched him hard enough to knock Doomfist a few feet… but it was enough to loosen his grip on Lucy as she landed on the ground, coughing. Happy immediately flew over and grabbed her, before pulling her to safety. "Lucy! Are you okay?!" Natsu yelled.
"Y-yeah… I'm fine… but now he just made me angry…" Lucy got up, pulling out another key. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Loke!" She yelled right as Winston jumped over and swung his arms at Doomfist… right as Elfman got up with a roar, as he had turned into his Beast Soul form.
"Rrrgh…" Brigitte raised her flail up in the air. "Rally to me!" She called out, activating Rally that gave everyone a boost of defense.
"You are now starting to get serious. Very well, now's the time where we finish this." Doomfist said.
"Couldn't agree more." Gajeel said as Wendy finished up healing Erza as she got back up, requipping into her Black Wing Armor.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu yelled, as Doomfist jumped up in the air and attempted to Seismic Slam him, but Erza flew over and slashed him to send him crashing to the ground. Doomfist got back up and aimed his gauntlet at Erza to attempt to shoot her down, but then Cana threw a card down underneath Doomfist and unleashed Prayer's Fountain to knock him up in the air and then Juvia used Water Slicer, and then Lily slashed at him to have crash to the ground where Loke ran up and used Regulus Impact to punch him straight to a light pole and hit him into a building.
Doomfist got back up and jumped out, chuckling. "Lucky hits." He said and then he pulled back his fist and went to Rocket Punch Lily, but Levy put up a Solid Script: Wall and placed it in front of the two as Doomfist punched the "Wall" in front of him giving Lily enough time to back away as Carla flew up and dropped Wendy off and unleashed a Sky Dragon's Wind Attack, however Doomfist jumped back to avoid it and then delivered a solid Rising Uppercut on Wendy to send her flying in the air. Carla flew over to catch her.
"You okay?"
"Nnngh… I'm fine… I think." Wendy winced as she landed on the ground right as Elfman swung at Doomfist, pinning him to the wall and clobbering him until Doomfist managed to break free and punched the monstrous beast away, right as Reinhardt charged at him and slammed him into a wall, then he backed up and swung his hammer to knock Doomfist to the side and then Elfman and Loke jumped over and delivered a swift uppercut to knock Doomfist up in the air.
"Now!" Loke turned to the Dragon Slayers.
"Right!" Natsu nodded and turned to Wendy and Gajeel. "Let's do it!"
"Way ahead of you, Salamander!" Gajeel smirked as they got into position right as Erza and Winston flew/jumped over and slashed and pummeled him to the ground. "IRON DRAGON…"
"SKY DRAGON…"
"FIRE DRAGON…"
"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!"
"Nnngh…" Doomfist got up and saw the Triple Dragon Roar heading for him, as he tried to escape but Juvia flooded the streets with her water and Gray used his ice to cover it up, encasing Doomfist's ankles as he tried to escape, but he couldn't right as he could only look at the Triple Dragon Roar head on as he only let out a smirk and got hit with it. Once the Triple Dragon Roar died down, Doomfist stood there for a few seconds before falling on his back.
End BGM
"Phew… we did it!" Brigitte smiled.
"That's what I'm talking about! Three cheers to our victory, comrades!" Reinhardt cheered.
"We did it… I can't believe we did it." Cana smiled.
"Hahaha…" Doomfist weakly said as they turned to him as he was still lying on the ground. "You may have beaten me… but I get stronger every time I am defeated." He said as he sat up. "For you see… we evolve through conflict. I know now the true strength of Fairy Tail."
"Yeah, and we'll kick your ass if you try anything funny!" Natsu said. "You want to go another round?! We can give you that, you behemoth! After all, you're affiliated with the Shadow Queen!"
"I only joined the Shadow Queen because we had thought out interests had aligned with each other, but it turns out she was using us for her benefit. While Talon desires a new world order, Shadow Queen wishes to destroy it."
"Then why team up with her?" Gray asked. "Were you just doing it for the sheer hell of it?"
"She seemed like she wanted to help us with our goal… but we were deceived. I was planning to confront her… but I knew that would have been a death sentence for she is too powerful. She claims that she is a God." He stood up, dusting himself off. "This is where we part ways, Fairy Tail. My battle is with Overwatch, not you or anyone else." He said as he turned his back on them. "As soon as the Shadow Queen is beaten, I, along with anyone else who is alive, will take off… and you will never see us again. You proved yourself over me… so I will give you this." He said, pulling out a key from his pocket and tossed it behind him. "It is a key to unlock the door to the Shadow Queen's lair. I hope you can defeat her."
"Doomfist… instead of walking away, why don't you help us defeat the Shadow Queen?" Erza offered.
Doomfist let out a chuckle. "Not interested." He said and walked off.
"A key…" Lucy picked it up and looked at Doomfist one last time before she looked back at the key. It had the Shadow Queen's symbol on it.
"That's some key." Natsu said, looking at it.
"Come on, let's go." Gray said.
"Whoa whoa whoa, hang on!" Wendy exclaimed.
"What's up?" Natsu asked.
"Uh… do you really think it's a good idea to go in when all of us got banged up pretty bad over that fight? Let me heal you first!"
"Oh… yeah, that's probably a good idea." Natsu chuckled.
"Definitely a wise idea." Erza said as Wendy went right to work on them.
Portal #2 - Moira
"Moira!" Mercy called out as they were in a lab.
"Ah… Angela." Moira said with a smirk. "Come to stop the Shadow Queen?"
"Moira… what has happened to you?" She asked. "Your research in science has corrupted you into… this! Not only that, you sided with the Shadow Queen!"
"Hmmhmmhmm… the Shadow Queen has helped me further along my research. Science will prevail… it always will."
"While that may be true, it has corrupted your mind. Please… just step down… I do not want to destroy a fellow researcher."
"Your research is inferior to mine. I will make sure you are silenced." She said, activating a dark aura in the palm of her hand and had it envelop her. "As a matter of fact, Shadow Queen made my research far more deadlier!" She smirked as her hair turned dark and had black sinister wings pop out from behind her… and even a Heartless symbol appeared on her chest. "Do you see, Angela? My research is far superior than yours! Let's see where your medicine gets you when I'm done with you!"
Mercy stood her ground, readying her staff as she looked to see Genji, Hanzo, McCree, Kairi, Sakura, Elise, and the Phantom Thieves raring to go. "Let's go."
BGM: Vs Dark Samus (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
"I can't believe she's turned herself into a Heartless!" McCree said, quickly shooting at her.
Moira let out a chuckle. "We all must make sacrifices in the name of science."
"By getting rid of your humanity?!" Morgana yelled, barely dodging a dark lightning bolt from her. "Wah!"
"Precisely." Moira smirked, as she flew over and grabbed Mercy by the neck, only to get slashed away by Kairi and then hit her with a Firaga spell, to which she blocked with her hand before firing a dark laser at Kairi, as she blocked this with her Keyblade, but it was enough to knock her back a few feet.
"Freidyne!" Queen yelled, hitting Moira with a nuclear spell and sent her flying but she recovered and fired dark bolts at her, but she avoided this and hopped on Johanna, using a wheelie to try and hit her but she warped away from her with a smirk, snapping her fingers and a dark explosion hit her. "Agh!"
"Eigaon!" Joker yelled, throwing curse magic at her but she deflected it with her hand, but got hit with two arrows to her shoulder.
"Nnngh!" She winced as she looked up to see Hanzo and Sakura with their bows out.
"Sweet, you're using your bow!" Elise grinned. "In that case…" She pulled out her tome. "Elwind!"
Moira teleported out of the way and threw dark fire at the trio, but Genji got in the way and deflected it with his sword before slashing through her as she let out a grunt before grabbing him by the back of the neck and threw him to a wall, then unleashed a dark shockwave at them but Mercy flew over this and pulled out her Caduceus Blaster and shot a few rounds. It was enough to get Moira's attention as she formed shadow claws and teleported over to Mercy, slashing at her with the Shadow Claws, but Mercy blocked this with her staff. "Weak! You can't stop me with your pitiful attempts!"
"The only one who's weak is you. You've let the Shadow Queen corrupt you too far!" She retorted, delivering a knee kick to the gut and then pulled out her pistol again and shot her, but Moira disappeared and reappeared behind her, swiping her in the back as she let out a pained cry and then was slashed down. Moira turned her head and disappeared right before some shurikens hit her as she reappeared near Genji, snapping her fingers as an explosion hit Mercy. "GYAH!"
"Angela!" Genji yelled and then glared at Moira. "Ryujin no ken wo kurae!" He shouted, slashing at Moira repeatedly as she swiftly dodged every swing and launched a dark fireball at him, only to get hit by a lightning bolt.
"Mazionga!" Skull smirked while Panther's hand burst into flame and launched an Agidyne at her with Kairi throwing in a Blizzaga at Moira, then used a Strike Raid and hit Moira head on, then Fox ran over and slashed at Moira, before using Bufula. Noir shot Moira with the Loch-N-Load and then hit her with a Psiodyne.
"Pathetic little pests! How dare you interfere with my research!" Moira started to glow a dark aura. "Surrender to my will!" She yelled, unleashing a dark ball and tossing it into the air, before it exploded in dark tentacles and grabbed a hold of everyone, then starting to drag them underneath the lab. "You will bow before your scientist!"
"No… we bow to no one!" Kairi said, aiming Destiny's Embrace at Moira, struggling to keep it aimed at her and fired a beam of light, hitting her directly in the chest.
"Agh!" Moira yelped, knocking her down as Kairi aimed at the dark ball and fired another beam of light, hitting it and destroying it, which was enough for the others to rise from the ground.
"Thank you, little miss." McCree said and then got into position. "It's high noon." He said as Moira struggled to get up. "Draw!" He quickly pulled out his revolver and shot Moira with six rounds, hitting her in the chest, then Genji slashed through her and then held her by the arms.
"Brother!" Genji said as Hanzo nodded and aimed his bow at Moira, the tattoos on his arm starting to glow.
"Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau!" He fired the shot as twin blue dragons sprang out as Moira tried to teleport away, but Joker nailed her with another Eigaon to knock her down, then the Dragonstrike went through her as she yelled in agony.
"I'm sorry we have to do this Moira… but you leave us with no choice." Mercy said and turned to Kairi. "Do it."
Kairi nodded and ran over to the weakened Moira, readying her Keyblade as Moira glared at her and attempted to hit her with a dark lightning bolt, but Kairi blocked this with her Keyblade, before throwing a Firaga and hitting her in the head before slashing through her as she let out a pained cry before falling on her face in defeat.
End BGM
Mercy walked over to Moira, gently kneeling down as the Heartless Scientist was fading away. "…I suppose… I could've done more research… to strike you down…"
"Moira, just stop. This isn't you. You were never like this, but you've changed ever since you've joined Talon and became a pawn of the Shadow Queen."
"Hmm… I suppose I became too obsessed with my research that I never cared what others thought… including yours." Moira smirked. "Still… my science will find a way to change the world."
"I do not think it will happen."
Moira let out a chuckle. "We'll see about that, Angela…" She said before disappearing for good.
"Obsession can lead to destruction to your health, just like it did with her." Hanzo said. "Such a waste of life… turning herself into a Heartless."
"Angela, are you okay?" Genji asked, putting her hand on Mercy's shoulder.
"I am… I just wish we could have saved her." She sighed. "I guess once you turn into a Heartless, there's no going back."
"I wouldn't count on that." Kairi said. "Sora got turned into a Heartless and he came back strong and dorky as ever." Mostly thanks to me.
"Hmm… well, I suppose Sora could be considered the lucky one." Mercy said.
"I suppose so." Kairi nodded.
"Oh, what's this?" Sakura wondered as she knelt down and picked it up. "A key?"
"Ooooh, looks sinister!" Elise said.
"I think that might be useful. I suggest keeping it." Akira said.
"Good idea." Sakura nodded, putting it in her pocket.
Portal #3 - Reaper
"Reyes." Jack walked over to him in a graveyard, as Reaper turned around.
"Jack."
"I see you picked this place out yourself."
"Both of us died and you know it. Reyes and Jack died in that explosion… and out came Reaper and Soldier 76. We both became vigilantes."
"No, one of us became a vigilante… the other turned into a terrorist."
"Overwatch is dead. I'm just picking off the scrap."
"Hmph… I think it's time we settled things, old friend."
"I couldn't agree more… just one question. Do they have to be here?" Reaper asked, referring to Tracer, the Mercenaries, Ashe, Sakuya, Echo, Camilla and Xigbar.
"Heh… they're just the calvary."
"Hmph… fine then. Let's get this going already."
BGM: Darkest Night - Village of Lost Souls (Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)
Reaper pulled out his pistols and started shooting at Jack, as he aimed his Heavy Pulse Rifle and returned fire, the two of them dodging their bullets. "Come on, guys! Let's help him out!" Tracer said, and with a nod, they charged at Reaper while firing their weapons. Reaper Shadow Stepped behind Sakuya and aimed her gun right at her head, but Xigbar had teleported and aimed at Reaper, shooting a few rounds at him and forcing Reaper to move out of the way as Sakuya turned around and threw her knives at him, to where he responded by shooting them down, then got hit by Demoman's grenades as he was knocked over to a tree.
Ashe pulled out a stick of dynamite, lit it up and tossed it over to Reaper. She aimed her rifle at the dynamite and shot it, making it explode while Reaper went into his Wraith form to try and dodge it, getting out of it and shooting Ashe, but Bob got in the way and took the bullets, then shot at Reaper along with Engi's Sentry. Reaper quickly hid behind a tombstone and then got out from hiding and shot at Tracer, but she blinked out of the way as Echo fired Sticky Bombs at his feet, as they exploded and knocked Reaper back as Soldier shot a few rockets where Tracer blinked near Reaper and shot him in the head, as he let out a growl and went into his Wraith Form to prevent getting hit from Heavy's Minigun as he went behind a tombstone.
Sakuya grabbed Camilla and stopped time, taking her over to Reaper's location and resumed time as Camilla swung her axe down at him, forcing Reaper to roll out of the way and shot at Camilla, but she blocked with her axe as she walked closer and swung her axe, hitting the guns off of his hands as she swung at his chest, hitting him as he let out a growl and pulled out another pistol and shot Camilla's axe to knock it off of her. He let out a chuckle and aimed at her, but Camilla socked him with a right hook and then a left hook and then used an uppercut to send him in the air and then she picked up her axe and tossed it up where Sakuya grabbed it and swung Camilla's axe down and hitting Reaper, sending him crashing to the ground where a bunch of stickies were waiting for him and then were detonated.
"Ha! Gotcha, lad!" Demoman smirked as Reaper got back up, only to get hit by a critical rocket by Soldier, sending him toward a tombstone. Scout and Ashe ran toward Reaper as he got up and shot at the two of them but Scout slid underneath the bullets while Ashe rolled, then Scout got back up and whacked Reaper with the Sandman, then he pulled out his Force-a-Nature and together with Ashe's Coach Gun, shooting him straight to a wall, then was hit in the head by Sniper's Machina and Pyro's Detonator, burning him a little.
"Gotcha!" Sniper smirked, but then Reaper got back up and shook it off. "What?!"
"I think it has to do with him being a ghost." Xigbar said.
"You can thank Moira for that." Jack said, shooting at Reaper as he responded in kind, only to get surrounded by knives and was impaled by Sakuya's knives and then Spy got a few shots in with his Ambassador, and then both Soldiers fired a rocket/Helix rockets at Reaper and struck him as he hit another wall and fell on his knees.
End BGM
"Grrr…" Reaper got up and glared at them. "I may have underestimated you… but…" He turned to Jack. "You and I will settle this later." He said and then disappeared, leaving behind a key.
"Get back here, ya coward!" Soldier yelled.
"Don't. He and I have unfinished business. Just me and him. No one else should get involved."
"Oh, Jack, don't be like that. You have friends who will-"
"Save it, Lena… I will not rest until he's officially gone." He said and turned to the others. "For now, we have a bigger threat and that is to stop that shadow demon from destroying this world." He walked over and picked up the key. "And I believe this key is our ticket to doing it."
"Heh, well, what's stopping us then? Let's go take queenie out." Xigbar chuckled.
"Then let's go." Camilla said, resting her axe on her shoulder. "We don't have that much time left."
Portal #4 - Sigma
"Oh, listen to that wondrous melody." Sigma said as they were in some space station of sort, eerily similar to the Horizon Lunar Colony. "Tell me, can you hear it?" He asked, turning over and seeing Junkrat, Roadhog, Mei, Torbjorn, Bastion, the Erdrean crew minus Luminary, Robin, the Garreg Mach family minus Byleth, Lysithea and Dorothea, Takumi, Zelda, Yuyuko, Patchouli, Alice and Nitori.
"The only thing I can hear, mate, is the fact that you're missin' a few screws!" Junkrat said.
"Hmm, perhaps I can make you hear it." Sigma said, the hyperspheres in his hands started to float.
BGM: Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
"Hah!" Sigma yelled, throwing his hyperspheres at Takumi and Alice, forcing them to dodge it as Junkrat shot grenades at him but Sigma went and converted them to shields and then fired a ball of debris at Edelgard, which Zelda got in the way and used Nayru's Love to send it back, hitting him in the torso. "Ooof!"
"Thank you." Edelgard said as Zelda gave her a thumbs up and tossed a Din's Fire at him but Sigma avoided this and threw the spheres at her, but she teleported away where Hubert cast Mire on him and hit him hard, and then Veronica unleashed a Kaboomle that made him crash into a wall. He got out of the wall and conjured up more debris and shot it at the Erdreans, but Mei put up an ice wall to block it, then turned around and shot icicles at him with Claude helping her by firing arrows. Sigma put up shields to block these, unaware of Jade climbing up the ice wall as she ran over and swung her spear at him to knock him to the ground, then Alice and Nitori flew over him and fired lasers and water bullets at him, striking the old scientist as he scrambled to get out, barely dodging a lightning bolt from Patchouli.
"Het universum zingt voor mij!" He yelled, using his gravity to get the Erdreans and the Garreg Mach crew up in the air.
"Wah! What's happening?!" Ingrid yelled.
"Heh, I'm in my element now!" Claude said, flipping himself over as he was upside down and shooting Sigma with an arrow.
"You may be in your element, but for the rest of us, we can't fight upside down!" Hilda yelled.
"Listen to that glorious melody!" Sigma exclaimed, ready to slam them into the ground… when a hook wrapped around him. "Wha?!"
"Get down!" Roadhog said, yanking him to the ground and safely dropping everyone, though Claude had to reposition himself so he wouldn't land on his head as Junkrat tossed a C4.
"Stop me if you've heard this one before!" He grinned, detonating it as Sigma was launched up in the air as Erik unleashed Ridgeraiser while Bernadetta aimed her bow at Sigma, her body glowing a little.
"This is what a melody sounds like!" Bernadetta said, hitting him dead center as Sigma let out a pained grunt.
"I didn't hear anything." Hilda said.
"I… oh, never mind, the moment's gone." Bernadetta sighed as Hilda, Dimitri and Edelgard ran over toward Sigma and slashed them with their respective axes/lance as Sigma was knocked back and launched another Accretion, but Rab hit it with a Zammle to destroy it and then Sylvando hit him with a Hot Lick, burning him a bit and then Ingrid came running in and swung her lance, hitting Sigma and kicked him away as he tried for another Gravitic Flux, but Roadhog slammed him to the ground right as Zelda threw a Phantom Slash at him.
"BUH BUH BOOP BUH BOOOP!" Bastion yelled, going into his tank form and blasting Sigma with shells while Torbjorn had his Turret fire at him as Sigma tried to block this as he got up, but Bastion was having none of it and kept shooting him toward a wall, then he went back to normal after he fired enough.
"This will end things." Yuyuko said. "Ghastly Dream!" She yelled, firing the danmaku at him.
"Ooooh, such a pretty melody!" He said, looking at the butterflies surrounding him. "What curious designs… I never heard such a beautiful melody." He mused, and in his distraction, Mei called out Snowball to freeze the area on the spot, encasing him in ice and freezing him and the surrounding danmaku.
End BGM
"Great! Now let's blow him up!" Junkrat said.
"Wait!" Patchouli stopped him. "Let's not."
"Aww, why not, ya big party pooper?"
"Because I've done some research who this guy was with the help from Angela. He was a normal astrophysicist trying to harness the power of gravity… however something went wrong in a space station. He accidentally formed a black hole. He was exposed to its power for a brief moment… but suffered serious psychological damage and had to be taken to a hospital… but went to a secret government facility and that's when Talon got a hold of him, manipulating him. Gone was the man named Siebren de Kuiper… and thus a man by the name of Sigma was born."
"Oh, I've heard about Dr. Kuiper's research!" Mei said. "…I've wondered what happened to him."
"Yes… so I think freezing him here is enough." Patchouli said. "This death is humane, we put him out of his misery."
"…Blah blah blah, I'm still exploding him!"
"NO!" Alice yelled. "We're not doing such a thing! Destroying him would be inhumane!"
"Just a little off the top, wouldn't hurt right?"
"No." Roadhog said as he grabbed him by the arm and started dragging him away. "You've done enough exploding for one day."
"Aww! Party pooper!"
"Hold on, what's this?" Dimitri wondered as he walked over to the ice sculpture, seeing something shining. As he got closer, the ice sculpture started to glow before a key floated out of it where Dimitri took it. "A key?"
"Could it be a key for the Shadow Queen?" Edelgard wondered.
"I assume so." Dimitri mused. "In any case, let's go." He said as they nodded and walked off.
Portal #5 - Zacian
"Lrrroooooooard!" Zacian cried, walking out of the mist as they were in a meadow of some kind. Zacian's opponents were the Galar crew, Zamazenta, Meiling, Link, Impa, Youmu, Chrom, Ryoma, Xander, Kamui, Bowser, Junior, Meta Knight, Zero, Lysithea, Lea and Demyx.
"So we finally meet it." Marnie said.
"Alright, lad… we can do this the easy way or the hard way." Gloria said. "Take your pick."
"Lrrrroooooard!" Zacian howled and got into a fighting position.
"Heh, good, I had a feelin' you'd pick that." She smirked.
Hop gulped. "Gloria, let's just chill! We don't need to get seriously beat up in a scrap like this!"
"Heh, where's your sense of adventure, lad?" Piers smirked. "Alright, Zacian! Let's get riled up!"
"Lrrrrroooooooooarrrd!"
"Griiiiiiiieeeeld!" Zamazenta howled as they got ready to fight.
BGM: Battle! Vs Zacian/Zamazenta (Pokemon Sword and Shield)
Zacian charged at them with a Sacred Sword attack, but Link got in the way and blocked with his shield, then unleashed a Skyward Strike at Zacian. Gloria's Cinderace came running in with a Pyro Ball and kicked it towards the Legendary Pokemon, but Zacian avoided the attack and unleashed Moonblast on Meiling, taking a direct hit but she shook it off and fired rainbow orbs at Zacian, where it proceeded to slash through the rainbow orbs and charged at Meiling, but Ryoma and Xander got in the way and slashed at the beast, the three clashing their blades. Ryoma activated Raijinto's electric abilities and struck Zacian, making it jump back as Xander lunged in and slashed at Zacian, but it locked its blade and clashed with Xander once again.
Link called upon Revali's Gale and launched up into the air, pulling out a Bomb Arrow and firing it from his bow, striking Zacian from above as it let out a pained howl as Xander slashed to try and disarm it, but Zacian unleashed another Sacred Sword to knock Xander back and then it let out a howl, as swords appeared above the Pokemon and clashed together before they disappeared. "The lad used Sword's Dance!" Gloria said.
"For those who don't know, it just got a lot more powerful!" Hop said.
"Good, I love a challenge." Lea smirked and then summoned his chakrams and smirked. "BURN BABY!" He yelled, turning the area into a fiery ring.
"You wanted to go back to this?" Demyx asked, throwing in a water clone and hitting Zacian, where it then evaporated in the ring of fire.
"Hey, it makes things interesting." Lea chuckled as Zacian stood its ground, then saw Impa, Chrom, Kamui, Bowser, Junior and Meta Knight jumping into the fire while Zero just teleported in. Zacian immediately used Behemoth Blade and went right for Meta Knight and Zero, but Meta Knight used Dimensional Cape to avoid it while Zero disappeared as Zacian missed as Meta Knight Drill Rushed Zacian on the side while Zero snapped his fingers as blood started raining on Zacian, piercing through its body.
"You like that? I call it Piercing Blood Rain." Zero said.
"You seriously need help." Kamui said, watching Chrom do an Aether on it.
"Pffft, yeah right." Zero chuckled as Chrom slashed at Zacian, where it was enough to knock it back where Bowser body slammed on top of it and then Junior fired a cannonball for the icing on the cake. Bowser then breathed fire and hit Zacian head on, severely hurting Zacian but it let out a howl and used Swords Dance again, before using Sacred Sword and knocking the Koopas out of the ring, and then went for a Behemoth Slash, as Meta Knight and Chrom tried to block it but got thrown out, and then Impa slashed through Zacian.
Kamui aimed her hand at Zacian and used a Dragon Fang Shot, hitting Zacian directly as it let out a growl and turned to her as it lunged at her and slashed her, but she transformed into her Dragon form and water spouts hit Zacian to knock it back. She then used Torrential Roar to knock it out of the fire as Zacian then turned around and got hit by Zamazenta's Behemoth Bash and Youmu's Slash of the Eternal Future. "Lrrrroooooard!" Zacian howled, using Swords Dance once more and lunged at Liepard and Rillaboom, but Obstagoon got in the way and used Obstruct, where the sword bounced off of Obstagoon, and then got hit by Falink's Close Combat.
"Nice one!" Bea said as Zacian got up and went for another Behemoth Bash, but Meiling punched the ground hard enough to make a shockwave and made Zacian fly up in surprise, then she flew up and punched it in its stomach to knock it in the air and then it fell to the ground.
"Gloria! Catch it!" Marnie said.
"Wha? …Oh, right!" Gloria nodded, pulling out a Ultra Ball and throwing it at Zacian, hitting it in the stomach before it could land on the ground and then the Ultra Ball bounced softly on the ground. One shake. Two shakes. Three shakes! Click! "YES!" Gloria fist pumped.
End BGM
"Griiield…" Zamazenta howled softly as it walked over and gently pushed the button, where Zacian came out of it.
"Lrrooooard…" Zacian groaned and shook it off. It then looked over at Gloria and walked over to her.
"Hey! You want some more?" Zero asked, readying his blood sword, but Bea put her hand out.
"Hold it." She said as Zacian walked over to Gloria as she gently put her hand out, then Zacian accepted it by gently nuzzling her hand.
Gloria smiled, letting out a giggle. "Good to have you back." She smiled and then tossed an Ultra Ball to Hop. "I think it'd be best if you caught Zamazenta."
"Wh-wha…?! Me?!" Hop said. "I… I dunno about this…" He shook his head. "I don't think I'm worthy of capturing it. Pardon my French, but why not have a badass like Marnie capture it?"
"Hmm… nah, I'm good." Marnie said. "Legendary Pokemon aren't my style."
"Piers?"
"Nah."
"Okay, Bea! How about you?"
"Tempting, but it's not a Fighting type." Bea said. "Besides, I'd rather have my opponents have a chance at getting the badge."
Hop sweatdropped and turned to Zamazenta. "You… you really want to go with me?"
"Griiiield." Zamazenta nodded, seeming to be okay with it.
"Hop, you're more than worthy to do this." Gloria said. "Besides, it's a massive opportunity, lad!"
"I… guess." Hop nodded, walking over to Zamazenta and gently tapping it on the head, where it went inside the Ultra Ball, where it clicked. "Huh, I'll be darned."
"Such a sweet moment." Impa said. "…Though I can't help but wonder if we're forgetting something." She said, and then right on cue, there was a loud roar as they turned to see Eternatus appearing, still in its Eternamax form.
"Yup, that!" Link said, nocking an Ancient Arrow and aimed at Eternatus… when suddenly a dark explosion slammed into Eternatus as it roared in pain, and then another dark explosion hit it where Eternatus fell to the ground and turned back to normal. Stars circled around it as they turned to see Lysithea having cast Dark Spikes on it. Twice.
"You're welcome." Lysithea said and turned to Gloria. "Don't just stand there, catch it!"
"O-Oh! Right!" Gloria said and then reached into her bag. "Well, I can always use this odd thing." She said, pulling out a Beast Ball and throwing it at Eternatus, where it went inside the Beast Ball and landed on the ground. Three shakes and a click!
"Well, that was quite something." Youmu said and then the Beast Ball opened up and Eternatus appeared before them. "Oh, now what?" She wondered as Eternatus looked at Gloria, before giving her something in her hand.
"What is it?" Marnie asked.
"It's a… key." Gloria said and looked back up at Eternatus. "Uh… thanks lad?" She said as Eternatus let out a small cry before going back into its Beast Ball, then Gloria picked it up.
"We might want to keep it." Piers said. "Could come in handy."
"Right." Gloria nodded.
Portal #6 - The Hands
"Where are we?" Marisa asked.
"I think we're in some kind of arena." Reimu said.
"I'm picking up on something!" D. Va said.
"Hohohohahahahahaha!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The two purple Hands approached Marisa, Reimu, Ran, Chen, Sanae, Suwako, Luminary, Byleth, Dorothea, D. Va, Pharah, Lucio, Hat Kid, Shantae, Shovel Knight, Shield Knight, Luigi, Rosalina, Geno, Kirby and Dedede. "Well well well, what do we have here, brother?" Master Hand asked. "It seems we have some fools who wish to challenge us."
"Hehehehe! Let's squish 'em like bugs!"
"Yes, lets!"
"The only thing we're gonna squish is your loyalty to the Shadow Queen!" Marisa said.
"Let's-a go!" Luigi said, activating the Thunder Hand as everyone got ready to fight.
BGM: Melee Battlefield Remix (Super Smash Bros for 3DS/Wii U/Ultimate)
The Hands both surrounded the group as they turned sideways and attempted to slap them, but they quickly avoided the attacks as Shovel Knight jumped up in the air and swung his shovel on Crazy Hand while Shield Knight threw her shield and hit him with it. Geno aimed at Master Hand and quickly fired the Geno Beam, hitting him dead center where Kirby used Hammer Flip on him.
Master Hand summoned two rings of darkness covered in spikes and threw it at Pharah and D. Va, where they flew up in the air to avoid the attacks and shot missiles at him, then Crazy Hand flew over and slapped the two toward the ground. Hat Kid aimed her umbrella at the two and fired a laser, hitting them both as Master Hand balled his fingers into a fist and charged at Hat Kid, but she quickly rolled out of the way as he punched the ground, giving Shantae room to launch fireballs at him with the help of Dorothea launching a Bolganone on him.
"Let's do it, Chen!" Ran said. "Charming Siege From All Sides!"
"Kimontonkou!"
Both of the danmaku hit the hands where Crazy Hand conjured up some reflective mirrors and fired a laser, where it bounced from the mirrors and hit Dedede and Geno, but Rosalina conjured up a shield to protect herself as it bounced off and barely hit Master Hand who twirled around and slammed into the ground, attempting to grind Luigi to dust but he had jumped back and hit him with a Thunder Uppercut, then he jumped to Shovel Knight and converted his electricity to the shovel.
"Oh! Why thank you." Shovel Knight said, as he and Shield Knight ran over as Shield Knight bashed Crazy Hand with her shield and Shovel Knight swung his shovel down, the electricity hitting him and coursing through his body, to which Crazy Hand fired the electricity back at Shovel Knight. "Ooof!"
"Shovel Knight!" Shield Knight exclaimed, barely dodging missiles being shot at her, as he got back up and shook it off, then Luminary used Moreheal on him.
"Thanks." Shovel Knight said and then returned to fight as Luminary closed his eyes.
"Crystal Stars, give me your strength!" He yelled, calling upon the Gold Star as it circled around the team and powering them up, right as Byleth swung Sword of the Creator and hit Master Hand with a powerful attack thanks to being buffed. She ran over and jumped up, slashing down at Master Hand.
"Here goes nothing!" Marisa yelled, unleashing Aura on the two Hands as they both yelped in pain before the two gathered together and formed a huge ball of darkness and then threw a dark wave at them, hitting them all but D. Va and Pharah had flew up to avoid this as D. Va proceeded to shoot the two.
"Justice rains from above!" Pharah called out, hitting them with multiple rockets while Lucio came over to Shantae and Hat Kid and healed them up with his music.
"Thanks!" Shantae said as she transformed into a Harpy and flew over, scratching the two Hands while Hat Kid fired another laser from her umbrella… and then the two Hands circled around them to create a black hole and sucked them in, before the black hole exploded and sent everyone flying toward the arena walls, severely hurting them.
"Let's target the witch! She should be the first to go!" Crazy Hand said.
"Couldn't have said better myself!" Master Hand said, as they formed together like an eagle and fired a dark laser at Marisa, who quickly responded by firing a Final Spark at them, the two lasers colliding and were in a stalemate, but ever so slowly, it looked like the two were gaining the upper hand.
"Nnngh!" Marisa winced. "Come on… that the best you… got?!"
"Come on! We gotta help her!" Sanae said as they got up to go help Marisa as Shantae grabbed a hold of Hat Kid in her Harpy form and flew up, dropping her as she put on her Snow Beanie and transformed into an ice statue, slamming into them to try and weaken them as Marisa's Final Spark started to pick up momentum, then Sanae and Suwako flew over the two hands as Sanae used Yasaka's Divine Wind and Suwako using Red Frogs of Houei 4, hitting them both with their danmaku to weaken their dark laser.
"I'll give you a boost!" Lucio said, switching songs and powering her up a bit while Luminary and Byleth ran over as Luminary turned to Byleth and used his shield as a stepping stool for her as she jumped up and Luminary leaped up to give her a boost as she swung her blade to hit them, weakening the laser some more as the Final Spark inched closer. D. Va and Pharah flew over and fired missiles where Kirby called upon a Warp Star and flew over to them with Dedede, where Dedede jumped off and activated his Jet Hammer where he swung at them to make them flinch, the dark laser losing more power as the Final Spark was dangerously close as the Hands tried to keep their focus up, but Geno transformed into a cannon and used Geno Flash, hitting the two of them head on, weakening them both and then the Final Spark hit the Hands.
"Argh!"
"Gah!"
"Time to finish this!" Reimu said, crossing her arms in an X as danmaku surrounded the Hands, then Dorothea had an idea and launched a few Bolganones at the danmaku to add some more firepower to it.
"Alright, whatever it is you're doing, unleash it!" Dorothea said.
"Right… I didn't need the fire, but it'll help! FIERY FANTASY SEAL!" She yelled, where the Fantasy Seal exploded in a fiery fashion as both Hands roared in agony and was launched away toward the end of the arena, slamming into the seats and rubble fell on top of them. A dark aura shot out toward the sky, as the Hands were back to their usual white color.
End BGM
"Did we do it?" Lucio asked.
"I'm hoping so." Byleth said as the Hands emerged from the rubble, groaning.
"Where are we?" Master Hand groaned.
"I don't know… but I think I have a hand-ache." Crazy Hand grumbled. "…Wait, this isn't the Smash Mansion!"
"Yup, they're back." Luigi said.
"Poyo!" Kirby cheered.
"Can someone explain what happened?" Master Hand asked as the ones who were at the Mansion explained what had happened. "Oh! That's right, the Shadow Queen happened. Huh, we were under her spell? It felt like a dream."
"It felt real to me!" Crazy Hand said as he noticed Master Hand's palm glowing. "Eh? Brother, you're glowing!"
"Huh? What in the name of…?" He wondered as a key appeared in his palm. "…Huh… I believe this belongs to you." He said, tossing it over to Marisa as she caught it.
"A key?" Reimu wondered.
"You guys go on ahead." Master Hand said. "We got a Mansion to rebuild." He said as he and Crazy Hand teleported away.
"Come on, let's go." Marisa said as they walked back into the portal, heading back into the lair as they went up the stairs until they reached a huge door with six locks on it. The door in question looked exactly like the Thousand Year Door. "Six locks… six keys… oh! I see now." Marisa said as she walked over and put the one key in the slot, then they heard footsteps and saw Gloria and her team approaching.
"Ah! So that's what the key is for." Gloria said and put it in the lock, then the ones who fought Sigma approached.
"That makes sense." Claude said as Dimitri went to put it in the lock, then Soldier 76 and his squad walked up.
"I was wondering if it had something to do with this." Jack said and put it in the lock, and then Mercy and her team arrived.
"Heeeeey! Would you look at that!" Elise smiled as Sakura walked over and placed the key in the lock, and then finally, Fairy Tail, Winston, Reinhardt and Brigitte arrived.
"So… many… stairs!" Natsu groaned. "…Oh… so that's what it's for."
"This should do it." Lucy said, placing it in the lock as one by one, the keys turned to unlock them, and the locks and the keys disappeared, unlocking the door in front of them.
Marisa took a look at the door and took a deep breath. "Let's go." She said as they opened the door and walked in.
Here we are, the final battle is behind that door! Let's do this!
