Hi there, Big Red who is down with a flu. Unfortunately, I would be left without work for a while and did consider taking a week long break on writing this fiction until I recovered. But then felt it would be best to deliver this chapter in time with my illness getting better. That said, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Let's just say that we will finally see the whereabouts of Mario and Sonic later instead of focusing too mcuh on the villains. That is all I will say. With that, let's get started.

The fight between the Bearer of the Triforce of Power and Wizeman's Most Loyal Level One Nightmare begins. Ganondorf swings his sword only for the red Nightmaren to flip over it. Reala launched a few nightmare balls at the Gerudo in rapid succession only for the Gerudo to flow throw them with his famous Wizard's Foot. Reala dodged the flaming foot of darkness in time thanks to his nimble aerial flight. Ganondorf groans in annoyance as his foe is a fast one that barely touch the ground.

"Why don't you try harder if you will ever hit me!" Reala called.

The Gerudo had a plan, which he finally decides to use his notorious flight to get on even grounds with his enemy.

"Very well. I will try harder if that's what you want. Just do not beg for mercy when I damage that body of yours too much," he barked.

Ganondorf would fly straight for Reala with a fist charged with darkness ready to blow him away. Reala is overconfident enough to Drill Dash right into him in a flash. Instead, the Warlock Punch is what begins to overpower Reala's famed technique as it knocks him backwards. The red Nightmaren used aerodynamics to slow down the force knocking him back before he would touch the wall behind him. It was then he realized he would have to take a different approach in this fight.

"You are a strong one. I would like to congratulate you. But that will not be enough to save you from this next trick!" he shouts.

He swoops down at the confident Gerudo who plans to see what he has to over first. Reala did a series of aerial loops at a safe distance away from Ganondorf with grace and precision. Ganondorf would only watch at him and laughs as this doesn't seem like a good combat strategy at all to him.

"Sad, you would rather waste your time with these flying tricks like they would make a difference. Is that the best you could do?" he dared.

Once Reala stops his acrobatics, he would float before his work with a smug grin.

"Believe me, you are the one who will see my best of what a Nightmaren could do," he said.

He did over four different Paraloops, which resulted in the magical created loops turning into massive vortexes that pull with immense force. Once Ganondorf would feel his floating body being tugged by the forces, he knew that he would be in for an unexpected surprise. He tries his best to resist the pull with the power of his Triforce only to still be pulled toward them forces, albeit slowly.

"Why is it not working? Just what are you? A powerful dark force comparable to me?" he says in annoyance.

Reala flew behind him and attacks with a strong kick.

"Don't run away now, the real fun is about to begin!" he shouts with a cocky expression.

Ganondorf is eventually sucked inside of the vortexes and get rag dolled back and forth by all four of the ones that surround him. Paraloops were abilities that only Level One Nightmarens like Reala and NiGHTS are capable of doing as it is their strongest moves to counter any enemy in the air. Reala eventually flies in between his creations and continue attacking to the fun by knocking him around like a large swinging punching back. The immense magical forces and strikes from Reala would be too much for Ganondorf to handle as he had no way to get out of his punishment.

"Where's that power of yours now? Is this the best that the so called King of Evil could do? Even my master Wizeman would crush you immensely if he were to drag you within his realm. He would be pleased if I were to personally deliver you head to him. I would value pleasing my master than joining a terrible alliance because your loser of a turtle tyrant ally said so. I would sooner trust Eggman more than anything he does. Just sit there and let me enjoy torturing you while you can't defend yourself!" the sadistic Nightmaren shouts within each blow he did.

During the attacks, the Triforce on Ganondorf's hand begins to glow brighter and brighter as a sign that he's reacting to the pain. It wasn't until the Gerudo finally opens his eyes fiercely and grabs the face of Reala before taking the next hit. Surprised, Reala widened his eyes has his head is now being grabbed by his own prey. The immense glowing of his Triforce is only a sign of things to come for him.

"You wanted the full power of the King of Evil? Then your wish will be granted. Don't say that I didn't warn you, jester," the Gerudo coldly says with his eyes on the grabbed Reala.

Soon, his hand explodes with a force of darkness in Reala's face. This is another one of his powerful moves, Flame Choke. Reala's face is now charred with his eyes being white from the powerful attack. Ganondorf then unleashed a powerful wave of darkness from his body while holding the limp Nightmaren to dissipate all four vortexes at once. He's now close to his full strength and had no more games to play with the overconfident Nightmaren. Ganondorf raised the body once more to look at the pitiful state of Reala.

"What's wrong, had enough? But that is alright, as I am far from finished. Your body still have some fight in you. So show me what you can really do!" he shouts before tossing his victim's body into the air.

Ganondorf then fires a fast moving ball of magic at him, the Dead Man's Volley. As the body flies, Reala eventually reawakened immediately to see the ball of magic heading his way. He instantly reacts by doing a flip kick to knock it back at Ganodorf.

"You thought I would let you walk away in victory? In the name of Master Wizeman, I will destroy you before you have the chance to take out one of his best Nightmaren!" he shouts.

Ganondorf gasps as he did not expect him to recover that fast or know that this specific magic attack could be reflect. He instantly knows it back at him with a strong backyard to show that he is in control of his own move and not his enemy.

"Nice try, but you will have to do better than that if you think you can reflect my own volley back at me!" he shouts.

Reala smirks once more and prepares to kick back the same ball of magic that heads his way.

"Right back at you, inferior being," he snarks.

The fast speeding ball of magic heads its way back to Ganondorf, but faster than before due to being hit back several times already. He instead chooses to hit it back with his fist to send it back at Reala at twice the speed. Reala yawns and knocks it back with a floating flip kick once more. Ganondorf then knocks it back again with his his fist immediately. The ball of magic is now exceeding the speed of sound at this rate. Reala barely had time to do a quick backhand to strike it. Ganondorf knew this would happen and punches it once more to knock it at Reala. The Nightmaren would do his best to keep up and strikes the magic ball with his hand this time. Ganondorf then uses a mighty sword swing to knock the magic ball back faster with his own hand strikes. Reala saw this move coming and used his own head to knock it back. Ganondorf swings back at the ball immediately before Reala strikes it back with his hand. The Nightmaren is beginning to feel overwhelmed with the increasing speed and felt pressured to fly in different directions if it meant trying to trick the Gerudo to hit the ball elsewhere. Ganondorf is highly confident that he will not be harmed by this same old trick the Hero did with him in the past that he keeps reacting to the ball. The entire fight can now be described as a game of tennis with a ball of magic and physical attacks were allowed instead of rackets. The battle with the other villains still raged on with some fights being victorious and others not very much. Mother Brain is being relentlessly bashed into the ground by the brute force of Frank before she would have the chance to get back up. Mr. X and his firing squad would still fire their guns at her titanic legs with everything it got if it meant crippling her walking.

"Keep it going men, we will stop that mother from ever walking again!" the Wood Oak City mobster shouts.

The cyclopean alien would use what little energy she had left to charge another Hyper Beam despite her injuries if it meant fighting the electrical behemoth off of her.

"I will not be humiliated by mere Earth ants. Take this!" she shouts.

The Hyper Beam fires directly into the face of the large monster, burning not only his flesh but blinding him from seeing his own enemy. The massive Deathwatch monster bellows in main from the attack that happened and backed away from his beaten enemy. The closer Syndicate members would run before they were accidentally trampled by their massive ally. Mr. X had a bad feeling about what happened to him if the brain did that much damage to him. Dr. CVoyle just had enough of the countless arachnid minions that were making light of her greatest invention and her own status as a villain, growing in a borderline psychotic rage. This would get the attention of The Baron and Queen Cadavra as they saw the spiders suddenly running before they were to get squashed by her. Some spiders were not so lucky as the steel helmet's six arms already started to punch wildly to crush the closest spiders that failed to escape her wrath. Just seeing her own minions getting killed one by one would only prompt the spider queen from pulling out her guns immediately to try firing her to death.

"Your first mistake was to piss me off and now it's time to eat lead!" she shouts.

Despite the volley of bullets that fired directly at raising body and skull-shaped helmet. Headlok growls wildly as if it wanted to destroy its own enemies. Dr. Coyle then moved her body toward Cadavra and the Baron for the helmet to get its chance for more carnage. These fast punches immediately knocked out Cadavra and the Baron with ease. Green spider blood and the red human blood strayed everywhere, some splattering on the heartless helmet's face after the easy beating it caused. Max D. Cap would suddenly feel his body being lifted under his body as a sign that the Genie and Syrup herself were far from down for the count. Psycrow would grow alert and still held his space pistol in case either target is ready to keep fighting. The massive genie finally reveals himself as he floats and continue raising the fat demon's body into the air. The Flying Teapot is revealed to have a special glass covering it, which Syrup closed just in time to protect herself from any harm. The space pirate lady laughs in a rich lady manner at how lucky her survival is. Psycrow had enough and fired hook after hook at her mech once more. Then the Genie noticed the crow and tossed the large demon directly at him. The hooks succeeded to pierce the flesh of his fatty belly, causing Max to scream. It would be too late when he flattens his own ally and the hooks due deeper in his flesh to cause more pain to him. The massive genie dusts his hands knowing that he can still serve his master at all costs, with Syrup laughing right next to him in her hovercraft.

"Great job, my magical henchman. Now be a good boy and pick up all treasure that fell. It's time to bag everything up," she said in glee.

While Craymen is busy covering with Joe Fang about a favorite would do for the Black Fleet, his lupine enemy finally awakens with more fight in him. He used Wolf Flash once more to appear and pierce his back with his sharp claws. Joe saw this at the right time but couldn't do anything to prevent his ally from being harmed.

"D..damn you…you still happen to live..despite my…dragon pistol burning your exposed…back?" the Black Fleet commander said.

"Don't make me laugh. As a Star Wolf mercenary, I was trained well enough to keep fighting after tricks like that. Andross would be greatly disappointed in me if I do not succeed in my job. Maybe your head would be perfect to get my team some proper pay for once," the smug Wolf said.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" the mutated EVIL boss said.

Joe Fang used one hand to pull Craymen away safely and used another hand to attempt crushing Wolf where he stood. Instead, the lupine fighter used Wolf Flash once more to reappear before his face and blasts him with the Demon Launcher. This powerful weapon instantly defeats the gigantic creature, who finally collapsed after the shot. Ridley succeeds in piercing through Von Twirlenkiller's body with his sharp tipped tail with ease. The wily space pirate finally saw throw his wind power trick by attacking him in his heart. Before Allie would swoop in to attack him, he tossed the German fighter's heavy body at the dragon's face to knock her backwards.

"This is what happens when you let your own guards down. Anyone who thinks they can make a mockery of me will become my next victim," he roars.

"D…damn you," the wounded Mother Dragon said as she sank below her purple nemesis.

Draguax finally recovers from his mild back breaking at the hands of Ashra, and grabs him by his forehands immediately. Before the four armed Paperock citizen could defend himself, the sly dragon does a quick violent suplex to break his back in return, causing him to gasp for air from the blow.

"Didn't I tell you? I am the fittest thing alive. Now here is that calorie burner that your out-of-shape behind deserves," he brags.

The black muscular dragon would finish things off by roasting his nemesis alive with his breath. Luckily, Aoi Satan maneuvered his Koubu to be in the epicenter of the flames to protect his own ally. Ashra would be susprised to see that someone is willing to take literal flames for him instead of letting him take the dragon's deadly attack. Bison would teleport past one of Neo Zeed's hair attacks immediately before he could attack him. The Hannya mask wearing man would look around his environment, cautiously as did Dark Raven since these two were dealing with him. The man reappears behind Zeed and Dark Raven, infusing his Psycho Energy within their bodies suddenly with each hand on both heads. Their bodies would begin glowing a bright purple with massive amounts of aura flowing from them. Zeed and Dark Raven would be sprawling in pain from feeling the cursed energy flow within their bodies.

"Consider this my gift to you. The very Psycho Power that fuels my body and gives me the strength I need to defeat my foes. But I will let you two in on a secret. Those who are unable to handle containing that energy will explode. Because I gift my power to weaklings that might as well die from it, I call this move, the Psycho Nightmare," the Shadaloo leader eerily describes.

He teleports in time as the two would now be feeling the power overload within their bodies. Two large purple explosions would occur as Bison reappears in the air to laugh at his end result. The explosives results would lead the two to collapse from the severe internal damage to their bodies.

"Curses!" the Neo Zeed leader shouts.

A bloodied Galcian struggles to stand any longer as Balder struggles to fend off the fully transformed Dracula that face him. Even the Lumen Sage would be panting heavily as this is the first time he struggled with a foe of powerful demonic qualities before. He would even be using that same mysterious spear he fought Bayonetta with back at the ship raid.

"You really are the troublemaker. Not even my holy light would slow you down with you at your full strength," Balder said.

The towering blue dragon-like entity would only do nothing but roar once more with only slaughtering his prey in mind instead of playing any more games.

"This God, is he truly on your side now? This is the state of man when they are backed into a corner by a terrifying force. But don't worry, you will be dragged straight into Hell once I tear your puny body into shreds," the transformed Dracula snarled in a demonic voice.

"The only god I know is Jubileus. And in her name, you will be smite back into the pit where you belong one way or the other," Balder shouts.

The Lumen Sage then leapt at Dracula with his spear ready for another heated clash with Chaos's vampiric avatar. Heady Metal's massive face would be struggling to avoid disappearing into virtual reality data thanks to the severe damage he taken from Metal Face's massive claws. Neff is also back in his bipedal rhino form once more when his larger forms were proven ineffective against the crazy Faced Mechon.

"Consider this a warning of what happens when you mess with me. If I were in a good mood, I would let you runts off easily. But now, only death can satisfy these claws that desire the blood to stain them. Humiliating me was your biggest mistake!" the mech spoke.

Neff snorts heavily in frustration as he kneels on the steel floor.

"We will see who will be humiliated more when I use the ultimate form against you. This one I especially wanted to save just for Centurion, but you will be the first to witness its power," Neff said.

The sorcerer now swells into a massive body, growing pig like features in his face. Metal Face stood with no fear as he thinks this form will be just as pathetic as the other forms he had no trouble against. The shadow casts against both his imposing mech enemy and his own damaged floating head ally.

"Amazing, such power. If only I could assist you this time. But this final boss needs time to recover," Heady Metal said.

The massive red Orc like demon is known as King Ogre, this is one of Neff's stronger rarely used forms that he's forced to use for once in a while. The beast lets out a massive roar that can be described as a mixture of hellish pig squealing and a mighty beast roar. Metal Face gets into his defense pose once more and dashed at his enemy for more brutal engagement.

"It doesn't matter what you become, you are still nothing more than worthless flesh to be cut in many delicious ways!" he shouts.

Guan Yu would be completely distracted by Black Shadow getting back to his own feet as the latter begins charging a fist full of dark energy. .MU noticed this after he already picked up the recovering Onishima and Hiyashi.

"If you thought this race is over, then you are officially wrong. The only one that deserves to cross the finish line to victory is none other than me," he shouts.

Guan Yu quickly turns around and spins his massive spear in preparation of another strong attack.

"Back for more? Don't worry, this fight will be victorious in my hands as I am…"

The horned racer punched Guan Yu dead in his stomach, breaking his feudal war armor in the process. This caused the warrior to cough a ton of blood from the severity of the attack. The force would throw the warrior directly as .Mu to known the massive white demon down. The force would throw both police captains into the air immediately.

"Damn, just when I thought this fight couldn't get any worse!" Onishima shouts.

"I just want to kill all of these bastards so badly. If only these guns weren't so damn useless against them," Hiyashi laments.

Then Black Shadow appeared directly between them in the air.

"Who did you want to kill so badly?" the terrifying racer said.

He grabbed the terrified faces of both captains and slammed them against each other violently to knock them out once more. Black Shadow laughs maniacally once the bruised faces of his victims finally fell to the ground below. Janken the Great struggles to match the strength of K Rool's powerful jabs from his gloves. The fact this Kremling King fights this fiercely once his belly armor is broken is prove of his ferocious tenacity when completely cornered.

"Try this one for size. Kremling Special!" the crocodilian king shouts.

He would purposely throw off his own glove as if it were a boomerang. Janken is surprised that the glove moved out of his point of view thinking the attack missed. But then the glove punched against his massive head's soft spot. Normally damage to this part of the head would be fatal, but this instead knocks out the massive alien completely. The glove returned to K Rool's hand immediately after the massive thud that occurred before him. This leaves an angry Crabuchin ready to avenge the one who managed to best him in battle for the first time on equal footing. The massive ape pirate leaps into the air and fired many dark energy balls upon K Rool immediately. Luckily for him, he is humble enough when crawling on all fours as he dodged each and every one. Crabuchin then reached out with both of his golden scissor-like claws to attempt cutting him up. K Rool instead leaps up and winds a powerful punch to the primate's face once more. The towering ape finally stumbles back from the impact and slowly feel onto his back from the attack.

"That makes two Kongs down in one day. Now if only I can find the real deals soon after we defeat all that think we aren't worth partnering with," the Kremling king muttered.

The Rhythm Rogues and Shadow would be struggling to move in deep purple ink on the ground. Several of the smaller robots already ceased to function due to the ink interesting their systems or breakdown from struggling too much. The larger robots still had some fight in them left due to their larger size. The few hovering robots left would be shot down by a few Octotroopers that spawned from the ink their master created.

"Damn, just when I thought this would be an easy fight. This substance is weakening my suit. I can't get out of here," the mysterious bounty hunter said.

Purge the King finally steps into action since seeing his own crew humiliated this way would only anger his already inflated ego.

"You aren't even cool enough for what you are doing to my crew. If I can get these steel hands on you, then calamari will be on the menu. That's if that purple ink of yours isn't disgusting enough already," Purge shouts from within his mech.

DJ Octavio would be too busy jamming on his stereo of the Octobot King to care about his enemy's threats. His Octotrooper men would only have their eyes on the drawing enemies that refused to give up already. Some of the living tentacle minions already begun spitting more purple ink at Shadow and the larger Rhythm Rogues already. Shadow lifts his blaster and fires at the Octotroopers to try putting them down. A few already begun to explode into ink thanks to the energy of the guns overloading their body.

"I will not die, not right here. I am going to make Master Purge proud, even if it costs my own life. Not unlike the original Shadow, who was nothing more than a traitor that feel for that girl. I will be spreading the groove to the galaxy, if it's the last thing I do!" the bounty hunter shouts.

The few large robots that still had some fight in them fends off the other Octotroopers that were shooting at them. The battle is far from over when more Octarian troops spawned from the ink to help protect their falling allies. These would be Octobombers and Octoling Troopers. The latter would be more troublesome as they can travel within the ink swiftly in their Octopus forms and had capable Octosplatter guns to shoot rapid fire ink shots. One Rhythm Rogue robot goes down after too much ink fire from a few Octoling Troopers easily. Another would be instantly destroyed by an Octobomber's ink bomb from the air. This is where Purge finally fires a sound blast to kill half these new forces easily. The stray sound wave strikes the Octobot King once more, knocking off Octavio's shades in the process. This angered the tentacled DJ so much that he starts to aggressively scratch the twin records.

"Now you've done it, you stubborn jack bass! Prepare to be served on the side with tartar sauce!" he shouts.

"Bring it on, poser. I've always wanted to splatter you in more ways than one," Purge said while his robot did a "come here" hand gesture.

The Wheel of Fate would be stuck hard enough to destroy not only his infamous steel wheel for protection, but scraped on his weak point. Wesker is now in his strongest Ouroboros form, sacrificing speed for more strength and durability to deal with his mutated pests. The Magician is also heavily wounded for trying to defend against the tentacled mutant powerhouse.

"You two should had stayed in your place. As nothing more than weak humans to be crushed by the strong. It doesn't matter how you were created or what made you what you were, neither of you compare to the ultimate specimen. Global saturation will only be inevitable by Umbrella alone. You Roy Curien, pale in comparison. Even the fool Goldman who failed to succeed you. Don't you understand? If you fail to do so, I will make you two understand by putting both of you worms closer to your graves!" the mutated Wesker shouts.

With massive muscular tentacle raised to the side, he swings once more to strike at both of them. The Magician managed to dodge in time, but the same couldn't be said for the Wheel of Fate. He instead chose to inflict a powerful bolt at the weak point on Wesker's chest, before taking the hit. As the wheel is finally broken and the white mutated being flies toward the wall, Wesker screams from the powerful bolt burning his exposed scar. The Magician would then feel the need to charge a deadly fireball for the same spot with the chance he had. Now Wesker's frightening yellow eyes would glare at the being that dare try to harm him.

"Why don't you go straight to the depths of Hell already, inferior creature! You are nothing to me!" he shouts.

The Magician succeeds to fire at his chest, only to be stuck by the muscular tentacle again at full force. More of his gray armored skin broken from the hit and even the exposed muscle on the horned being begins to bleed alot. The fireball finally burned inside of Wesker's chest, giving more than enough pain for the egoistic corporation leader to scream in pain once more. The fallen Magician would be glad that even he is getting the upper hand over the ultimate being that dared called him inferior many times during their intense fight. Ghirahim finally loses himself in his rage after being pinned down by his Ninteldo enemies for too long. Pushing all of them off in the process. He would finally materialize a black version of his famed rapier once he realize that getting physical with his hands against this many targets is ineffective. Pirika did not care what he planned to do and charged at him immediately. Masa could sense something unnatural about his aura and shouts," Pirika, get back. He's too strong for you to face!" The stubborn Pocket Monk cared less about his warnings and charged at Ghirahim with massive voltage flowing in her body.

"I have been treated like a pincushion long enough. Now everyone will know what it feels like to have their beauty tarnished. Now die!" the black sword being said.

He immediately one-shots the yellow haired girl with a bloody slash from his blade.

"No!" Carvai shouts in horror.

Foster, Saroid, Fare, and Gruiji couldn't bear to watch the sight. The body of Pirika would roll its way back toward the group, now devoid of live and losing so much blood from the strike. The demon lord Ghirahim lets out a psychotic laughter at what he done as he hopes the others would be foolish enough to engage him at his full strength.

"What's the matter? Too scared to face your own deaths. Come on, I am only getting started with this bloodbath!" he calls to his enemies.

Saroid eventually fell into her own blind rage to attack him next.

"No, Saroid! It's not even worth risking your life!" Foster called.

The armored warrior somersaults into the air with ease then fired multiple blasts at the demon lord's body. Ghirahim casually deflects the blasts with his own black hand and anticipates her getting close enough to taste his deadly swordsmanship.

"Good, then you will be next on my "to kill" list. It's a pleasure to build up my kill count in the name of the true evil, Master Ganondorf," he shouts.

Saroid finally meets him with a kick to his blade to knock him off balance and charged enough energy in his cannon arm for his diamond chest.

Saroid crossed her legs around him eventually if it meant dealing this blast to his weakness to matter the costs.

"Damn you, get off of my beautiful body!" Ghirahim shouts.

He slammed his left hand on her helmet multiple times with powerful blows if it meant shaking her off. The masted warrior had little intention of letting him get away with what he did with a valuable ally as Pirika.

"Saroid, get back here! You will only get yourself mortally wounded!" Fare called.

"Damn it, someone should stop her somehow!" Foster called.

The silent soldier would only keep staring at the terrified face of his target, despite bleeding under her steel mask from the severe damage she is taking. For her, this is a suicide mission worth doing as a warrior if it means taking down her own enemy with her. Ghirahim would act quickly and use his own sword to stab her and himself if it meant getting her off. Soon as the pierced, it would stab through her entire body and into his own diamond wound easily.

"Just die already, I would want nothing more than you getting off of me. No one can survive getting their own heart stabbed out. Just give up and drop all the precious blood from your body," he said desperately.

Despite her injuries, she still remains charging more than enough energy if it means giving him the most grievous wound possible. Ignoring the blade that already stabs through her flesh and vital organs, she finally succeeds and blast into his chest. The impact not only knocks the demon lord backwards toward the ground, but cause his own blade to violently slide from out of her armored back. The blonde warrior finally flings her wounded body back toward her own allies from the recoil of the blast.

"Saroid!" Carvai cries loudly.

Now, the Black Knight appears to be standing back to his own feet after the grievous wounds he suffered from the demon lord Michizane. The overconfident yokai warrior feels that he would have to try harder if it meant bringing him down. The partially healed Maximillain would notice a lot of godly aura starting to build up from the knight's black armor.

"This isn't good. I advise you keep your distance, he's already reclaiming his old strength already," the blonde general called.

"Nonsense, I am the great Michizane. Nothing can stop my superior strength. Even the heavens can't contain it. Just watch as I cut down this fool once more with my blade," the arrogant yokai said.

The Black Knight withstanding each and all blows would only be a sign that he's not going to fall any time soon, gripping his blade very tightly in the process. Michizane shown no sign of backing down as he continues to strike his prey as if he's going to die within a few minutes. The red aura finally envelopes his entire blade as he begins lifting it.

Maximillian calls to his ally once more, "Stand back, he's going to attack you!"

"Silence, I am about to end the life of his foolish human. His attack will not even have any affect on a superior demon like me," the oni warrior barked.

Black Knight finally swung upon the shoulder of his attacker, causing his entire shoulder to bleed. Michizane snarls at the top of his lungs from the pain that he received as it felt almost comparable to a full power Raikoh during their last battle.

"Did I not say that this armor was blessed by the goddess? Consider this a lesson to never see anyone below you when they are more or less superior than you at full strength. Farewell," the powerful knight boldly said.

The angry oni still remains floating but felt weaker due to that wound he received, feeling noting but hatred for the "inferior" being that harmed him.

"Damn you, I will make sure you never walk this world anymore. It doesn't matter how much stronger you get!" he shouts.

Lord Vanaduke would be massively overwhelmed once Inky, Pinky, and Clyde arrived with their own mechs to blast at the Clockwork guardian as payback for him trashing Blinky's machine. The red ghost leader would be overseeing his ghostly allies succeeding in pressuring the massive being for his sake.

"Keep it going, I will be happy once we can take all of how enemies down!" he shouts.

The transformed Yonensai would be standing right be him him breathing from his brown skull-like face, sending shivers down the spines of his defenseless prey. The ghost finally turned around to see that his terrifying foe is far from defeated.

"If you thought that this was over, then you are one of the most foolish spirits that I've ever laid my hollow eyes upon. Let us fight while your friends are too busy fending off my ally," he snarled.

Blinky screams in fear before attempting to fly around from him. The towering yokai would instead stomp after his prey with both of his ninjato ready to bisect him.

"Help! Can someone get this guy away from me! I do not want to be sliced into ghostly pieces," the red ghost cried.

A massive Pac-Man like robot would land directly in front of Yonensai before smacking him away at full force. The yokai's face cracks from the force before he is toppled over with ease. Blinky finally sighs once he could tell who this mysterious robot was.

"Thank you Orson, I would had been deader than dead if you hand't arrived. How are Sue and the others doing outside?" he said.

Because Orosn is within Toc-Man's body, the speaker has a louder scarier voice to match the imposing size of the mech doppelgänger.

"They are doing fine. Kinky in particular was wondering what was taking so long with the alliance and I decided to come as something did not seem right. It's a good thing to see this alliance may be a bust after all," the robotic Pac-Man look alike said.

"Tell me about it. They apparently do not trust us since that leatherhead gator dummy had to start something when we came in peace at first. Everything would had been avoided and we all would had partied to celebrate the incoming defeat of Pac-Man soon," Blinky complains.

Bullets would suddenly be flying through the spectral body of Blinky, which he ignored.

"And these fools are trying to shoot me when normal weapons can't hurt me, aren't they?" he said in the little surprise.

This would be the work of Seishiro Munakata, Tsuneo Iwami, Takeshi Kido, Lao Gui, Daisaku Kuze, Keiji Shibusawa, Kei Ibuchi, Kamon Kanai, and Hiroaki Arai were the ones hooting with their guns in hopes that would kill him.

"Keep it going men, these fools will not know what hit them. We will not ally with those that attack our men that we worked hard to control!" the corrupt police captain shouts.

"You do not have to tell me how to do my job, power is my specialty," Kido brags.

The notorious Japanese criminals fired endlessly on the red ghost above, annoying him in the process with their futile efforts to harm him.

"You see, this is why I really dislike humans as a whole. And here I thought Pac-Man was annoying," Blinky said.

Ganondorf is finally on his knees when he finally succumbs to the reflected Dead Man's Volley that hits him as Reala gathers a massive ball of Nightmare Energy to try finishing off his enemy. He's cackling with his wide smile as he continues to watch the wounded Gerudo below him. The angry Ganondorf would only watch as he's getting ready to give it his all to destroy him.

"What was it about being superior than me? Now the real fun is about to begin. It would be all too shameful if you simply give up here and not fight me at your absolute best, wouldn't it?" the Nightmaren said.

The Gerudo's Triforce symbol on his hand would glow brighter than before with him channeling the true power within it. Her breathes deeper and deeper with each breath sounding more beast-like than ever.

"You should had stopped when you had the chance. Watch as I become a bigger nightmare than you. Not even a miracle can save you once I reach full power with the Triforce!" the snarled.

A bright yellow light would flash from below where Reala held his strongest attack as he watched what his enemy planned to do next. A low growl would be heard with the light, accompanies of the sounds of heavy muscle restructuring from the formerly large man's body. Instead of wasting any time, the Nightmaren finally tossed the massive energy ball at the shining man if it meant stopping his transformation. The end result is a massive explosion that spreads dust clouds in the face of the daring Reala. The floating red jester chuckles at his plan as he continue watching the dust below him. Then a massive beast leaps from the clouds and knocks Reala back against the other end of the room with a mighty swing. He flew past many of his allies and foes in a high speed collision course from the attack like a speeding rocket.

Damn, he's already reached his full strength. No matter, that only means I have no more reasons to hold back anymore.

He finally crashed against the wall in a resulting dust cloud with the larger transformed Ganondorf finally landing before him. He's now a towering pig-like beast with an imposing figure and mighty form that few would stand up to. With his wild red mane and massive demonic tusks, his green eyed beast is a highly powerful figure that only the Hero of Time would stand up to twice in the last. Ganon finally lets out another powerful howl with both massive swords in hand to signal his fellow members. Wolf howls along with him after he climbs atop the massive body of Joe Fang. K Rool snorts before letting out a crocodile roar after seeing his superior at his full strength this soon. Metal Face did a speaker-like laugh as he watched what possible carnage may ensue with Ganondorf not playing around with the red Nightmaren anymore. The high flying Ridley smiles now that he gets to witness a rare sight of his superior getting the chance to destroy someone. Before the massive pig demon beast would strike once more, he heard a violent rumbling coming from the wall. He snorts with his glowing demon eyes gazing at the dust cloud to see what Reala intends to become. Then a massive pillar of red and black rises into the air at high speeds. He could tell from the shape that he's the same Nightmaren but in a different stronger form. The creature finally reveals itself to have a long serpentine tail, massive claws, and white dragon-like face. Ganon is impressed that the fight will keep going with both of them at even strength or else it wouldn't be impressive enough to him.

"This Persona Mask isn't just meant to show my loyalty to Master Wizeman, but grant me powerful transformation abilities beyond my normal form. Congratulations for pushing me to this point. You will be rewarded handsomely with a beatdown that will give you the worst nightmares imaginable. If you think you are strong enough," the elongated beast snarled.

Ganon swings his impressive blades once more as if he didn't want to back down from this fight.

"If you insist, but nothing trumps the Triforce of Power in strength in the universe. I shall prove it by cleaving that head of yours clean off!" the pig beast growls before charging at him.

The dragon instantly swoops down at his menacing foe for the most intense battle ever. The scuffle between both evil sides will continue for a long while due to their tenacity and strength.

Meanwhile, Mario and Sonic still flies the cloudy skies during their trip to find the hidden headquarters of the Smash Brothers organization. The Sky Pop plane flies as a steady pace as the plumber maneuvers it to avoid colliding with any thick clouds in the skies. Sonic cements his feet on the plane's tail with his weight if it means avoiding a possible hundred feet plunge towards the ground. He looks around as Mario's seeing eye in case there were any odd inlet enemies to fend off. The two would already be aware that Dedede and Kirby already made it to the base before then thanks to their impressive speed and only await the arrival of them. Mario's cap would be twitching violently before the plumber places his hand over it to prevent any flying. Sonic noticed this and wondered if there's a reason the hat would be living.

"Your little friend is afraid of heights as usual?" the hedgehog suggests.

Mario looks up to see a pair of black eyes with violet sclera appeared on the red cap in surprise.

"Hey! I am not afraid of heights. But I don't want to fly away either. Even separating from Mario's cap is a bad idea when these winds would blow my real body away. I hope this trip can end soon," the living cap said.

This would be Cappy, a recent ally of Mario from the Cap Kingdom that adventures with him to save his kidnapped sister and the princess one time. He often spends time within Mario's cap as an easier way to travel, but his greatest asset is the ability to "capture" anything that Mario can control within its body. There are limitations like larger or stronger beings needing to be stunned for a capture and staying within larger captures would be taxing for Cappy's powers. Mario and Cappy had been staying together ever since as a way to explore parts of the world he never been to before. But most importantly, assisting Mario on important missions for the Smash Brothers organization.

"It's a ok, Cappy. I'll make sure we are never separated. And not a single Klepto will think about a stealing you as long as I'm around," Mario reassured with a smile.

"You two really get along as an inseparable duo. That's like me with Tails. We always add entire together no matter what, other than the times he flies alone for his own investigations," Sonic replied.

"Hey, it's not like that. Never forget that Mario has a brother that's he's much closer to than me. I'm just someone that tags along and only interfere when he really needs it," Cappy beamed.

"No need to be a modest, my Bonetter friend. You are still a great help on my book. As much as I love to adventure with my a brother Luigi, even he likes to be independent. I am even thankful when he saves me from that a dastardly King Boo, who always seem to capture me as a way to get to him. We are the Mario Brothers, but even we like to do our own thing," Mario stated.

His wrist device would eventually rumble as it beeps loudly. This startled Cappy to the point his eyes disappeared from Mario's cap. Sonic smirks as he could tell this is something important.

"I guess that's for you, Mr. Video Game," the hedgehog said.

"Thank a you very much, Mr. Needlemouse," Mario replies with a playful wink. The plumber pressed the button on the device and raised it to his face as he uses his left hand on the plane's steering stick.

"Hello, it's a me Mario. May I ask who I'm a speaking with?" he asks.

"This is Fox speaking. I've just returned from a trip around the planet with my investigation. Great to have you back, Mario. We were all worried the Legion probably defeated you back their during your mission to stop the Legion from their main mothership," the voice said.

"Hiya Fox, how's my space shooting lupine buddy doing?" Sonic asks.

"I'm doing excellent, thanks for asking. You're still active as ever, Sonic the Hedgehog. Corneria is still under watch by Slippy and some new recruits for our team along with Krystal. She's a bit worried sick, but know that I'll be back in the Lylat System just fine when this is all over," Fox replied.

"That's a nice. I'm heading towards the base. You think you can lend a hand and let us all in?" Mario asks.

"We are way ahead of you! The eastern entrance will be opened soon as we see you get closer. Thanks to the base's special trackers, we were aware of your arrival soon as you entered a fifty mile radius of our flight field. Is that good?" the voice replied from the device.

"That's wonderful. We should be on our a way immediately. The Sky Pop is in need of some gas. Are the stations available in the base?" Mario asked.

"That's correct. The line is rather small this time since not many fliers are really here. Almost everyone is in the meeting," Fox reassured.

"Wahooo! Then it's settled. I'll be there just to stop by and refill my prized plane. Sonic and I will make sure we stop by to tell you all of a plan that we all have," the plumber exclaimed.

His cap finally regrew its eyes due to Cappy finally checking out what's going on.

"What plan? Hopefully we will not risk fighting the Legion head on again. We could had died back there," the cap spirit shouts.

"Your cap friend does have a point. Going there alone was the biggest risk you ever done Mario. Let us all not forget the last time we all thought we had a chance to take on Galleem the first time. It was a miracle that Kirby saved you and every one else before we taken him on another time and with Dharkon too," Fox warned.

Mario brushes the back of his hair in a nervous manner with Sonic shrugging from the fox's words.

"Well, Mario's plan is bigger than that. Let's just say that it's worth the attention with how long I often work with these allies of mines. All of you Smashers should give us a listen. It's not something you all would normally do, but the main key ingredient to kicking Legion butt," the hedgehog said.

Cappy looks at the hedgehog in curiosity then looks down at Mario with the same wonder of what this plan may be.

"Yes, the hedgehog is a correct. We have a big plan to propose that everyone should grow concerned with. We may had been getting a lot of new recruits to our organization lately, but this is a something worth addressing to all the veteran Fighters. Maybe the Assists too if they would like to a know ahead of time before we summon any of them," Mario proposed.

"I see. We will all talk about it when we meet in person. Me and several Fighters are already waiting at the Eastern Entrance for your arrival. Don't keep us all waiting. We're quite curious of what you would like to enlighten us all about. Master Hand would join, but he's off with his own investigation in another dimension for now. He didn't say much but wanted us to continue trying to stop the Legion's efforts for now. But either way, please do head over to the entrance. We'll be waiting for you two," Fox said.

The message one Mario's wrist device finally ends, before both of them look forward to see an impressive sight. They finally arrived at Smash Brothers Headquarters, an imposing floating black base that serves as both a massive headquarters for the famous universe protectors and a ship for transport to different parts of the world. Sonic would be amazed at the size even dwarfing that of Eggman's own bases or even his imposing airships. The shape resembles that of a massive floating fortress with countless surrounding buildings and walkways all around. Various beings from black suit wearing Mii Fighters to Fighting Alloys patrolled this entire floating mass to look out for any aerial intruders that may serve as a threat. Cappy is amazed just at the sheer scale of the place as he often sleeps instead of really taking a look at the outside of it.

"Not even Bonetteer's airships would compare to this. It's unbelievable that we often go here a lot," the cap beamed.

Sonic looked to the right see one of the many Battlefields that surround this base, being a fight between several Wire Frames training with each other. These were digital beings created with Master Hand's power to not only serve as agents for the organization but effective training partners for any member of the Smash Brothers. A larger masculine Wire Frame defeats the Female Wire Frame, leading her to fly outside of bounds and explode into a pillar of light. Cappy grew alarmed due to witnessing someone die in such a dangerous sport. But what gets him is that she reappears on a light blue revival platform that spawns in the middle of the field.

"What just happened to her?" he asked.

"I forgotten that you often sleep a lot instead of watch me fight much. Any Smash match always have a blast zone. It's an invisible box-like field that surrounds a field whenever a we fight. Like any match, when one gets knocked into a blast zone they would appear to be destroyed but actually they get sent into an another existence briefly. Then that existence sends them back into the field on a revival platform to a continue the match. In any fight, we measure just how many times a Fighter knocks another Fighter out of bounds in a set amount of time or after their opponent a lose too many times. No one truly dies, we always make a sure these matches are very safe when done outside the promotional Smash Brothers tournaments we host every year. I hope that helps, Cappy," Mario explains.

Sonic would look to the right and see another Battlefield hosting a new fight.

"Hey guys, over there! A Multi-Man Match!" the hedgehog called.

Every looked to see a Mii Fighter taking on hordes of purple Fighting Polygons at once. These deformed polygonal beings were relentless in crowding the skilled Mii agent as he continue one-shotting one after the other in a match of survival. This fighter had a clean brown hairstyle and average sized nose as he fights effectively with skilled martial arts. It wasn't until a large ape like Fighting Polygon appears and knocked him off the Battlefield with a strong attack.

"Woah! Looks like he's about to lose this one!" Sonic said.

"So intense," a worried Cappy said.

Mario smiles as he had faith that this fight is far from over. The Mii Fighter quickly recovers from his concussion and executes a rapid hurricane kick that raises his entire body back to the field. Some Fighting Polygons once more ran for the edge to overwhelm him.

"It's not over yet. Just a watch this," the plumber replied.

He's right as the Mii Fighter instantly grabs the ledge and rolled back on to kick away the persistent polygon threats. He resumes to defeating these relentless beings with powerful strikes that sent them straight to the blast zone. Explosion after explosion, the Mii Fighter is making a comeback to survive this Multi-Man Match with high difficulty and great survivability.

"You were right Mario, he's very impressive. I could watch this all day if we weren't flying so fast," Sonic called.

He turns around to see the Mii Fighter still getting the upper-hand in his fight as the Fighting Polygons continue to remain defeated. A female blue Fighting Alloy appears before Mario with a Rocket Belt and device in her hand. Mario slows the plane down if it meant avoiding to fly past this security guard at all. Cappy is surprised at her sudden appearance, shivering on Mario's head. Sonic chuckled at the cap spirit's surprisingly funny behavior.

"Hello, I would like to go to the East Entrance of a the Smash Brothers base. Me and Sonic here are the only ones coming in. And of course Cappy since he's awake this time," the plumber said.

"Yeah, it would be nice if we can be let inside. If you don't mind, ma'am," the hedgehog said.

The flying Fighting Alloy nods before resuming to type on her device. All three of them would be wondering when she will be ready to reply.

"Uh huh, but Smash policy states that we will not let anyone in unless they can prove their identity. This is all to prevent any high risk infiltrations and make sure that you are actually a part of this organization," she replied.

Sonic shakes his head sarcastically while Cappy panics slightly. Mario however expected this since he is always approached this way every time he approach the base.

"Okie dokie. We will comply with the usual a policy here," the plumber replied.

"Thank you. So Mario, was it. Tell me your Fighter number and passcode," the Fighting Alloy said.

"One and nineteen-eighty-five" he replied.

The Fighting Alloy pressed a few coordinates on her device and turns to the hedgehog.

"Sonic, tell me your fighter number and passcode," she asks.

"My fighter number is thirty-eight. Passcode, nineteen-ninety two. Thank you very much," the hedgehog replied.

"Alrighty. Both of you are free to enter any entrance on the base. Remember to park all vehicles completely inside the base and follow all the rules inside. And one more thing, no fighting outside the designated fighting areas. Those who fail to comply will be ejected from the base. No questions asked. Is that very clear to you both?" the suspicious security guard said.

Cappy gulps as both Fighters listened well to the words of this steel woman.

"Understood," Mario and Sonic said.

The Fighting Alloy finally nods before flying off in another direction to continue maintenance. Cappy sighs before both Mario and Sonic smiles knowing that that the coast is clear. The plumber eventually flies his Sky Pop plane toward the eastern part of the massive floating base as promised for Fox with the time they had left. Several flying Mii Fighters, Fighting Polygons, Fighting Alloys, and Wire Frames waved as a warm welcome to these famous Smash Brothers veterans. Sonic and Mario waved back happily to express their gratitude as Cappy quickly escapes Mario's hat to do the same. The three continue their flight course for the entrance below, a large docking area with a flight ramp that extends inside of the building. Several Mii Fighters will be there using flight night lights to direct any incoming member to land safely. Mario pressed the button within his pilot's spot to activate the plane's landing gear. Sonic holds on tightly to the plane with his long flight finally coming to an end. Cappy eventually flies back into Mario's cap once more before he was completely left behind. The small yellow plane finally lands on the dock as Mario pulls on the breaks to slow down his smooth landing. The Mii Fighters continue pointing their lights to direct him toward the right parking spots. He managed to ride past many well known vehicles like the Gunship, Blue Falcon, Arwing, Warpstar, Dedede Wheelie, Lightning Chariot, Wario Plane, Light Plane, Hocatate Ship, and Luigi Kart. Sonic held on to the tail of the plane tightly to avoid being thrown off at all costs. Mario uses his left hand to keep Cappy from flying off his head at all costs.

"We are about to crash!" the cap yells.

"We're braking the best we can. Mama miaaaaaaaa!" the plumber yells.

"Woah, can't you stop the plane before we wind up hitting someone?" Sonic asks.

Mario looked at the meter on the controls to notice the plane is all out of gas. Cappy saw this and retreats his eyes immediately. The hedgehog stares at Mario with a serious expression to express his disappointment.

"I did say that the Sky Plane is out of gas. Now we have to a stop it some other way!" Mario replies.

The plane skids out of control in a straight line with the brakes being too ineffective to stop them. Many Mii Fighters ran and panicked from the out of control vehicle spinning around uncontrollably down the docking spot. Cappy yells as the cap he inhabits spins around Mario's head. Sonic holds on to the plane's tail tightly as he watched for anyone who's there. Suddenly, the plane stops immediately as expected thanks to the help of a friend. Sonic flinches along with Mario with their eyes closed in hopes that they didn't hit anyone. Cappy also hides into the cap with brother of his own eyes visible. The entire plane is completely stopped by what appears to be a familiar part of large arms belonging to a good friend of the plumber's.

"Heh heh, it's good to see you again Mario. Donkey is impressed that you are jumping high as usual with no way to see where you're going," the ape said.

Mario and Sonic finally looked to see just who saved them from an untimely crash. Cappy's eyes reappeared on Mario's cap just to see what happened.

"Wait a minute, you're the ape that once kidnapped Pauline years ago?" the cap asked.

"Huh? No, that would be Donkey's grandfather Cranky who done so. Donkey only did it a few times just because Mario didn't want to accept my Mini Donkey toys in his company. But we are still friends that are willing to help out once in a while," the ape replied.

Mario finally jumps out of the plane to greet his long time friend.

"Donkey Kong, it's a nice to see you again. How are things going on Donkey Kong Island?" the excited plumber asks.

The ape lifts his hands off the plane and stands on them like any other ape would. Sonic finally jumps off the plane to greet the ape himself.

"Nothing usual. The island been peaceful without any Kremlings or Tikis to touch the banana hoard. Cranky is watching over the treehouse with Candy in Donkey's absence. Donkey even made sure to check the island twice since that scaly brained K Rool disappeared from Smash HQ. Strange isn't it?" the chill ape replied.

"Hey there, King of Swing. How's that strength going for you?" Sonic said in excitement.

Donkey Kong would grab the hedgehog's hand and shakes his entire body with much vigor. Cappy is frightened by how freakishly strong the ape is compared to him.

"Still strong as ever. You should see the time I punched the moon back to destroy Tiki Tak Clan's base. Still a good enough arm to support the Smash Brothers in every way," the ape replies with a massive grin.

"Hey, can't you see you are making too much blood rush to his head!" Cappy shouts.

Mario laughs since his ape friend is still strong as ever. Sonic is finally out down by the ape to be left with his eyes spinning around in a slight daze.

"I understand that completely, friendo. That's the Kong Arm still being good as ever," the dizzy hedgehog said.

Several footsteps would approach from the back of entrance of the area. Most of these being lighter footsteps in comparison. One of these would be light quadruped scampering as if it were a small animal. A familiar waddling would be heard as if it belonged to only one puffball. Two heavier steps would be heard as if they belonged to a pair of famed bounty hunters in the galaxy. Lighter steps would be walking that almost felt thinner than air. And steps similar to the plumber would be walking in a more sophisticated fashion compared to the bolder brother. These were the elite and original members of the Smash Brothers organization that would approach Mario and Sonic from the room.

But one of these elites would stand out. He's actually the descendant of one of the original Elites. Once every few years, that Elite is replaced by a descendant. Or more a reincarnation of that Hero. The first Elite was the Hero of Time, back when the Smash Brothers organization was small. Soon, he would be succeeded by the Hero of Twilight from the future in his place of it meant the old hero focusing more on the Hyrule of this universe. This current successor would be the Hero of the Wilds, from a much distant future that the kingdom of Hyrule falls to an unstable powerful form of the great evil Ganon. But he's far from alone as two other incarnations of him are members of this organization as well. They are on the younger side, one from the future as his descendant and another from before he chooses to remain as a child. They often cooperate with one an another if it means keeping Hyrule in a state of peace that doesn't interfere with either converging timelines.

"Hey DK! You're still friendly when around your mushroom eating friend!" Captain Falcon called.

"Mario, I was worried that you fell in battle. We wouldn't be the same without you," Ness exclaimed.

"Brother, it's a nice to see you again. Don't you a scare me like that again," the green twin brother cried.

"The status on our misbehaving members are unknown. We have yet to find out their current whereabouts other than your nemesis and Mega Man's," Samus called.

"Yosh yosh yoshi!" the green dinosaur chirps.

"Welcome back, I see you two are still lively as ever. Everyone will be looking forward to this plan of yours," Fox McCloud said.

"Piiiiiiiikaaaaaaaa!" the yellow Mouse Pokémon said.

"How was it struggling against the Legion? Are they as much of a threat as Calamity Ganon?" the Hero of the Wilds said.

"Jiggly jiggly, puff!" the jolly Balloon Pokémon said.

These Elites, the Original Twelve, were finally together at last with the same mutual goals to protect the universe. Sonic ran to greet everyone else before Mario could, shaming hands with everyone using his impressive speed. Pikachu jumps in Sonic's arms and runs against his face affectionately. The two were in-debt to one another since they tried to save one another during Galeem's rampage. Mario finally regrouped just in time to shake hands with the current Link that's been working with him to succeed him his predecessors. Samus activates her Scan Visor to identify any oddities her fellow Fighters may had during their last trip. She could see that both of them recovered from some intense wounds during their last major battle. But Sonic's stood out as the cause of his damage happened from tech that she's completely unfamiliar with.

Strange, these Legion members are nothing like we've ever faced before. They aren't the Subspace Army or the forces of Light and Dark, but these are very interesting readings from that hedgehog.

Ness shakes hands with Mario after the plumber greets the young boy. Sonic chats with Falcon about the possibility of then racing if they can have the free time to do so, which the captain agrees as racing is too good to pass for a veteran like him. Kirby once again greets Sonic since he had been waiting for his arrive after beating him to the punch by a few hours. Cappy is rather nervous since he's never been given a chance to see everyone in one group.

"Heh, it's nice to get a good look at you all for once instead of only behind hidden for the matches. I'm Cappy," the bashful cap said.

"I already know about you. My Scan Visor never fails when it comes to identifying all life forms on my journey," the Power Suit wearing woman said.

Cappy grew nervous as a result since she's not wrong about her analysis. Donkey Kong turns to see the living cap on Mario's head and chuckles.

"Yoshi yoshi, wow!" the giddy dinosaur said.

"I know you are aware of me Yoshi. Sorry for the times I make Mario capture you if it meant exploring the roof of Peach's Castle," the cap spirit said nervously.

"That's a ok. He forgives you since he was happy to a help us either way. Nothing to apologize for, Cappy,"'Mario said.

Sonic pats the living cap on his head in a friendly manner, being the good sport he is.

"No sweat it, Cap. You seem pretty cool already. Part of you reminds me of a certain one eyed alien that I once worked with. I just hope he's still out there along with all of his hyper-go-on alien pals," the hedgehog said.

Cappy couldn't help but to feel bashful for being complimented by anyone other than Mario.

"And speaking of friends that I once worked with, I wonder if I will ever see Chip again. There's still his necklace, which I kept as a memento to this very day. He was an awesome guardian of this world. But he only appears whenever the planet is at stake," Sonic said sadly.

He couldn't help but wonder if there would be a way to ever see him again without accidentally bringing back Dark Gaia once more. Both were deities who act as the light and the dark of Earth respectively, always engaging in fights over the planet once every century. What made Chip different was more he was still able to help Sonic, even if the energy of Dark Gaia within him turns the blue speedster into the frightening Werehog every night. Pikachu could tell that the hedgehog wasn't feeling like himself, approaching him with his eyes on his ally's less cheerful face.

"Pikapi?" the electric mouse said.

Mario is then reminded of what he needed to do with the Sky Pop.

"Oh no, I need to refill my plane to get all the gas it as needs for another round. Would someone be kind enough to help move it to the gas stop for me?" the plumber said.

"Ok. Donkey will be nice enough to help you out with my strong arms. There's nothing a Kong like Donkey can't lift," the ape brags.

"Leave it to me too. A hero and racer like myself knows how to handle any vehicle. Just you wait Mario, your plane will be good as new when we get done with it. You just go ahead and rejoin the others inside. We'll take it from here," the falcon bounty hunter said.

"Thank you a so much. Remember that the gas this plane needs is kerosene. I'll own you one," the grateful plumber said.

Fox really approved of the offer these two had for Mario as this they had bigger plans for the real reason he came here. Ness fixes his cap before it would be time to head inside again. With that, the two powerhouses would lift the large yellow plane together and slowly walk it over to the right station that they need to work with it. The plumber had complete faith that his prized vehicle is in good hands while he's aboard the floating headquarters. Sonic couldn't wait any longer and stretched his arms for a nice walk.

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go. But you might want to be the ones to lead the way. I haven't been in this place for a long time with the many times Eggman keeps me busy. I'm sure all of you heroes can completely sympathize with me here," the hedgehog said.

"We understand. There's always a threat to the Lylat System once in a while. Whether it's Andross, the Aparoids, or the Anglar. But most of all, that ape mad scientist that I've alluded to," Fox said.

"The Galactic Federation is always looking out for any possible threat in the universe. We thought that we thought that all forms of Phazon were destroyed, the Space Pirates managed to contain some traces of it. That's why we are very cautious of Dark Samus' loyalty to Ridley, even if they are fellow Smash Brothers," the serious bounty hunter said.

Kirby knew all too well on Sonic's struggle. Popstar would be under constant threat of attack by powerful entities that Kirby had to deal with alone or with allies. Whether it would be the Dark Matter swarm by Zero or the Jambastion invasion from the crazed Void Termina cult, he's always there to put an end to their terror throughout the galaxy.

"While the world is at peace without Giygas, Porky is always around causing trouble. Who would had thought that he would be the one ruling an island with harsh dictatorship and after he time traveled to escape punishment. Well, that bad future will be prevented as long as I'm around, for Lucas's sake," the determined PSI boy announced.

"As the successor of all great Heroes before me that bore the name Link, I'll do all I can to prevent Ganon from ever becoming a threat to any possible future. No matter the form he takes. My future wasn't a bright one, which is all why I am glad to be taking the place of the last Hero in this organization," the Hero of the Wilds said.

"Yo yo yoshi. Yoshi yosh yosh, yeah!" Yoshi chirped.

What the dinosaur meant is that he's always there to help Mario in any way, like his father did for him when he was a baby.

"Pika pika pika, pika pika pika pika pika. Pikachu, pikachu!" the yellow Mouse Pokémon said.

The electrical Pokémon spoke of the time he would serve a trainer when needed. Originally a wild Pikachu captured by Red, he served as an exceptionally decent Pokémon in the stadium and when taking on Team Rocket. He would often serve other trainers based on who picks him up through Wonder Trade globally or always staying in a professor's lab to interact with his Pokémon peers when there's nothing to do. The current Red that recently rejoined the Smash Brothers organization is actually him from the past due to the adult Red of this timeline long losing interest in Smash and wanting teach budding Pokémon trainers globally instead. His Charizard did stay with the Smash Brothers on his own accord due to his rebellious nature clashing with Red. That was until he decided to return to Red soon afterwards due to also losing interest in being a part of the organization.

"Let's a go. Because everyone else is waiting for you, Mario. They haven't been the same since Peach's kidnapping. Sometimes I question how Master Hand chooses all members when some aren't too easy to manage," the nervous green plumber said.

"You can say that again, Luigi. Bowser can sometimes play nice until it's not within his interest and turn against the organization on a whim. This plot he's planning could be the last straw along with anyone else working with him," the red plumber suggests.

"Why would an organization like this think a tyrant that attacks kingdoms and kidnaps a princess all the time make a great protector for the universe?" Cappy wondered.

"Because the Smash Brothers values strength, abilities, and ambitions. Even if someone's a villain, even they have potential to be a good defender of the universe. Although you have a point that it's a double edged sword when not all villains want to follow orders of a higher being," Samus said.

"Jiggly, puff puff," the angry Jigglypuff pouts.

Ness shakes his head as he's glad someone like Porky will never join the Smash Brothers organization even if he ever tried.

"As if Eggman will ever join either. Maybe that's why he's doing all of this. Probably as a way to not only take over the world but challenge all of you to stop him. That's got to be a reason why Bowser's gotten close to him, connections and all. When combined, they make a terrifying villain team. As if he's not terrifying enough joining forces with the enemies of all of my friends of the Sega Super Stars," Sonic suggests.

"I hope King Boo doesn't plan on joining them any time soon. That nasty ghost is already scary enough on his own," Luigi said before shivering in fear.

"Knowing the lengths Bowser would a go, it's inevitable. It would only be scarier if he intends to team up with countless old foes that we as the Mario Brothers has ever faced. We only know that some Fighters and Assists left to follow his lead, anyone a else is up in the air," the plumber explains before tipping Cappy.

"Well for every traitor, there's still the loyal Smash Brothers that at least don't miss the point of what Master Hand intended. As long as our numbers are superior, we will stop anything they throw at us. Even bigger if I get the chance to explain that special plan me and Mario came up with," Sonic said.

Link smiles as he's looking forward to hearing more of this idea the iconic Fighters has in mind. Ness nods with a smile with his clear enthusiasm in mind for this.

"Pikaaaaaa!" the interested Pokémon exclaims.

"Well what are we waiting for? We can't keep everyone waiting. I am a woman that would rather stay on task when it comes all objectives. Feel free to follow my lead," Samus suggests.

The Power Suit wearing woman finally walks her way toward the door with the Hero of the Wilds beside her. Kirby finally waddles after them in excitement with both Pokémon and Ness running after them. Fox smirks at the Mario and Sonic to wish them luck before walking his way after the team. Mario hops on the back of Yoshi for old time's sake to save his walking for when it's needed. The jolly green dinosaur is always welcome to give his red capped for a ride when needed. The experience feels surreal for Cappy as for once, he gets to ride Yoshi in a way than capturing him unlike the past. Sonic would finally start walking after everyone once the dino riding duo begin following behind Luigi. The Smash halls were quite a different world compared to ones within the Delphinus as they are a brighter clean gray that are well crafted by the best architects. Many Mii Fighters and artificial Smash agents patrolled the halls alongside everyone else just to show how massive this organization is. Many of them would be minding their business while others would often stare at these well respected members walk through the middle of the massive hall. Sonic didn't mind all the attention he would receive as he's quite the lover of attention as a popular hero. One Mii Fighter in particular would mimic Sonic's famous Super Peel Out just time express his respect of the blue hedgehog. This made him laugh and give a thumbs up to the enthusiastic Mii agent. Mario would see a Yellow Fighting Alloy that bows to the plumber in respect due to acknowledging his important status to the organization. The group would continue walking their way through the long hall past the many denizens of this large organization.

These halls would also lead to certain intersections with even more of these countless Smash agents walking around the well lit paths. Several screens would be all around the halls to show different parts of the entire building. One screen would reveal a white training room where Fighters would often have practice matches to train their bodies with fellow members. Palutena would be the one briefly fighting Zelda in a test of wit to see who's better in ranged or close combat. This Zelda is one from the future in a timeline which the Hero of Time failed to defeat to Ganondorf. Not that it stops her from being capable as her ancestor that previously was a part of this organization. She launched a special guardian know as a Phantom at the Goddess of Light to slash at her. Palutena would instantly destroy it with her powerful glowing wings. The Hylian princess dashed straight for the goddess with her blessed magic attacks for close range. Palutena then attacks with her sacred staff after flipping it. Using the power of Farore's Wind, she narrowly dodged it just in time with a green windy teleport. The wily goddess had a good plan to keep up with her, as she would clear her mind to predict the possible area she may land.

I will see through your every move. Training match or not, you will be purified at all costs.

The green haired goddess would continue standing where she is in the large white room with her opponent nowhere in sight. She finally opens her eyes once she could hear the the winds gathering where she may appear.

"Found you! Explosive Flame!" she shouts.

The ball of orange magic appears directly before a reappearing Zelda only to explode in her face.

"Eeeeyaaaaah!" the princess screams in surprise.

She finally lands backwards from the attack and Palutena warps right before her with her staff pointing in her face. This startled her as she's in a complete pinch after all her plans to outsmart the goddess would be nothing but a failure. The green haired goddess would only tilt her head with a playful giggle. This match had already need decided even if neither side could knock each other out into the blast zones. Another screen would depict a form of a workout center for all fighters when they prefer more casual ways of getting stronger. Little Mac would be punching a strange Sandbag that's hanging before him. This same sandbag would be a sentient being that often joins in Smash battles to either provide hidden goodies or be that ideal punching bag. It's often used in special Home Run Contests as well to see how far anyone would knock it with their own strength. The determined boxer always wanted to test his own reflexes and strength if it means being a great asset for the organization. At least if there are no special world boxing tournaments that he often trains for under Doc Louis's guidance. Wii Fit Trainer is gracefully doing a series of known stretching exercises to keep her own body fit for combat. The pale woman would be breathing slowly within each stretch to stay focused and train her overall body balance at all times. She's working beside another Wii Fit Trainer, a male one who would often train different groups of people on Wii Fit Island with her. He's often a partner to her when working out with yoga or strength training exercises when not partaking in serious missions for the organization. Ike is seem bench pressing with an 80 pound dumbbell, pushing with all his might to test the strength of his arm and strength. As the original hero of Tellius, he often works for the Smash organization whenever he can. Master Hand thought it would be a great idea to have the Ike of the past also appear from time to time, although they don't get along for their levels of maturity. One time, younger Ike e we like compare his current self to a gorilla, this sparking a rift between the two alternate timeline versions of the Azure Flame Warrior.

Zero Suit Samus is intensely exercising her upper body using the pull-up bar as preparations for her next mission. Within every rep that she slowly pulls her upper body above the bar, she lowers her body to hang while exhaling. This Samus is from a timeline in which Samus chooses to fight without her famed Power Suit and grew used to it thanks to a special pair of heel-like jet boots that she use for combat. Sometime since Snake had temporarily left the organization, Samus chose to fight in her own suit more often as she hates the idea of her armor falling apart. Master Hand would rectify this by going to a timeline in which Samus is more comfortable fighting in the Zero Suit more often and has her as a permanent member of the team. Other Fighters often call her "Zamus" or "Zammy" as alternative nicknames if to avoid potential confusion with the Samus of this universe. She too is often competing with her counterpart to prove that the Power Suit is nothing more than a restriction and her way is the ideal way to fight in the galaxy. Lastly, a blue male Inkling is running on the treadmill to test his walking speed if it means improving for possible turf wars with other Inklings or even success in missions. He's a clear rival to the orange female Inkling that's more adored by the Smash organization and wishes to surpass her as the better Inkling one day. Overall, eight different Inklings are a part of the same Smash organization. They are very competitive with each other as if it were always a Splatfest going on if it means being recognized as the number one Inkling to the rest of the Fighters. Most notably Agent 3 who once defeated Octavio in the past under the guidance of Squid Sisters Callie and Marie.

Another screen in the halls would depict the famed Home Run Contest where heroes are tested for their overall launching strength. A crowded stadium cheers for the spectacle that is a familiar Aura Pokémon meditating before the nervous Sandbag that stands before him. The white punching bag stares blankly without any fear as Lucario prepares to grab the Home Run Bat next to him. The surrounding noise of the excited crowd would only echo throughout the heavy bag that contains iron sand. Despite not seeming like it, the Sandbag is quite expressive and only express emotions when necessary. The blue jackal-like creature eventually grabs the bat and commit these few seconds to a few practice swings. All participants are usually given ten seconds max to launch the Sandbag as far as they can regardless of if they can break the invisible force field that acts as a wall for you to overcome with your own strength. Lucario eventually gets into the best stance he could with a collected mind and decent amount of aura flowing through his body.

"Watch the power of the aura. Send yourself beyond the horizon!" he shouts before his final swing.

The Sandbag is eventually struck during the last few second countdown and miraculously broke through the invisible force field with ease. The crowd finally goes wild at the Pokémon's immense strength as the bag continues to spin skyward at a great distance. The speed this flying sack of sand flies is exceeding the sound barrier if it almost seems invisible to the eyes of the cheering crowd. Lucario drops the bat and keep his eyes on the the flying target if it means observing his own end result. Ten seconds had passed and the bag would eventually lower itself closer to the long track by nearly sixty feet in the air. Distance size, it would be far past a hundred feet already. The bag finally lands and slide across the grainy track with its speed finally starting to slow down. Something seemed different about the Sandbag, it would be blushing with an expression of extreme bliss. The pain fighters give the Sandbag were always euphoric and pleasurable to it as if it loves serving the very purpose it was meant for. Tears flowed from the blissful eyes of this bag as it slowly reaches a stop from its terminal velocity flight upon impact. Lucario, eventually turns around and walk away as if he predicts that his score will be satisfactory. The crowd finally lets out one final cheer after they saw the Sandbag stop at a distance of one-hundred eighty-five feet for his score. The blissful and happy Sandbag continues to lie in its spot, awaiting the next time it would experience something this exciting from a stronger Fighter again.

"Game, set, and match. These results are only proof that my aura never fails me," the blue jackal said.

Another screen reveals one of the more famous ways for all Fighters to practice, Break the Targets. The subject of the video would be none other than Villager, a mayor now turned island representative for his future. The young man would be running along a leafy rocky formation to track down all ten targets that he would have to break in a set amount of time. He's a crafty Fighter who's all about using the many tools he purchased from the Nook Store and don't waste any time using them to their full potential. Like the Inklings, multiple Villagers are a member of the Smash Brothers and they are usually competitive over who's the better representatives for their own towns or islands. This specific one is a man who wears his red Number One shirt, blue shorts, and light blue shoes with a cleanly combed brown hairstyle. He's the more trickier of the Villagers and doesn't back down from any fights. Even the average Grumpy Villagers from his town are intimidated by him. Once he spots a nearby target, his eyes would have a sinister glimmer in them as a sign that he's in full hunter mode. Villager jumps into the air and aims his slingshot at the target. The target would be destroyed in a quick shot thanks to his excellency in marksmanship. He dons a Balloon Trip hat that helps him fly further up the obstacle course with ease as he vigorously flaps his arms to both sides. He spots another ramp for him to run to seek the other targets as he finally lands to keep running. Breaking the targets is not only about completing the task without failing, but more beating the clock to see who can break all targets fast enough compared to their fellow peers. Villager succeeds in breaking several other targets thanks to his sharp shooting and careful launching of the Lloid Rockets. This mayor is showing no signs of slowing down thanks to the many years of serving the Smash Brothers organization. It would be less than thirty seconds for him to be close to breaking all ten targets with only one left to go. This one would be a tricky spot due to ha gong below a cliff on the left end of the course. He had one shot and falling into the blast line would mean failing his own course. The wily mayor had an idea, the form of dropping a heavy bowling ball off the cliff "accidentally" if it meant not risking a fall. The tenth target breaks and he scores a record of getting everything done in fifty-five seconds total, leading to cheers from everyone. Villager celebrates by doing the infamous Shrunk Dance now that his work here is finally done.

Sonic and the others would finally arrive in a large meeting room after taking many turns in the massive organization. Many familiar faces would already in the middle of discussing their plans on saving the world. Marth is chastising King Dedede for not only breaking the rules but also agreeing to rebel against the organization. The King already accepted that this would happen to him at all due to his fears of ever turning back to the organization after agreeing with Bowser's plan behind their backs. Marth acts as one of the superiors of the organization due to his tactical experience and being one of the more diplomatic Fighters of the entire organization. One shouldn't let his effeminate looks fool them, since his skills with the Falchion makes him one of the deadlier sword fighters of the organization. Shulk is there to explain any specific visions that he receives thanks to the power of the Monado. One that he received would be the arrival Mario with Sonic to begin with. "There it is, I told you they'd be here," the Homs said. Everyone would finally have their eyes on the two who entered the room with most of the Original Twelve. Many of these Smash Brothers operatives would consist of Fighters who have the superiority to decide on the next move for the organization. They include Pit, Captain Olimar with a few Pikmin, R.O.B., an orange Inkling girl, Simon Belmont, Wario, Diddy Kong, Rosalina and a yellow Luma, Toon Link, Falco Lombardi, Pokémon Trainer with his Squirtle, Lucina, MinMin, Lucas, Mr. Game & Watch, the Ice Climbers Popo and Nana, Princess Daisy, Pac-Man, Incineroar, Duck Hunt, Roy, Corrin, Ryu, Steve, Young Link, Chrom, Robin, Doctor Mario, Past Ike, Terry Bogard, Luminary, Byleth, Joker, Richter Belmont, Meta Knight, Greninja, Pichu, Erdrick, Shiek, Soto, Eight, Mii Brawler, Mii Swordsman, and Mii Gunner. This would be the first time in a while since Sonic could see these legendary fighters again, although new faces like MinMin and Steve he don't really recognize in any way. The latter would be seen as the biggest oddball to him due to his polygonal appearance and blank stare from his square blue eyes. MinMin in particular shocks him since she was originally a bystander that he helped save with the Smash Brothers during the World of Light incident. What really shocked him is how she would be seen as impressive enough to be accepted among the ranks as a Fighter this soon instead of an Assist. Marth would finally focus his attention on the ones would finally entered the meeting room, still not a good mood after talking with the guilty King Dedede.

"I'll deal with you later. Now return to your seat next to your fellow Brawl peers. You better be lucky that we can finally get this meeting started soon," the blue haired prince shouts.

The king quickly scampers to the other side of the room before sitting next to the sheepish Olimar. He would be in the middle of communicating with Alph on a device due to the Koppaitian captain already on a mission with the rest of his crew. The blue haired captain would be telling him that his mission is a success is that their home planet is flourishing with enough food to last for a solid year. Britney and Charlie also seem to be just as happy, giving a toast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Dedede looks down with a sad expression and let's out the biggest sigh ever. This is it, I'm going to be kicked out for good. I want to do everything to make up for my mistake. I promise to be a good king and never listen to a thing that Koopa ever trick me into again. Good bye, cruel world.

"Welcome back, Mario and Sonic. Nice to see you two barely survived an encounter with our biggest threat ever. Especially you, Sonic. Glad that we didn't lose such a valuable member," Marth announced.

The other Fighters would clap as a the perfect way to welcome back these big stars for their grand return. Mario smiles and posed with his cap extraordinarily to welcome back his fellow members. Sonic being the hedgehog that loves attention would flip and do his trademark cross armed pointing pose to show that he's fast as ever. The remaining Original Twelve would return to their original spots at the top of the meeting room now that they are done with their past of welcoming everyone back. Cappy flies out of the cap in annoyance since all this cheering is starting him.

"Can we please tone down the noise. This level of excitement is too much for me," the cap spirit said.

"Too much excitement? I take it you will not like the level of excitement I'm always around, Cappy," Sonic taunts.

"Soon, we will begin a highly important meeting. Just take your seats since almost everyone else will appear. The first subject will be addressing certain missing members, which we will address as a good start to this meeting," Shulk announced.

Zelda and Palutena instantly appear back in their respective seats now that their training finally came to an end. Greninja grew alert from the goddess appearing next to her, but lowered his water weapons once he caught glimpse of her. Pac-Man is exhausted due to the long tip he taken from Pac-World, wishing he could chomp on some fresh fruit. Shiek greets her alternate universe counterpart with open arms while Doctor Mario scrambles to finish the doctor's records in his hands. Like the Links, this Shiek is from another timeline. Being from the Twilight Timeline in which Zelda actually acts out on transforming more often instead of staying in her black cloak in her castle. Due to preferring her alter ego more as of late, Master Hand went to the Downfall Timeline to pick up a Zelda that's closer to the Sages to stay in her princess form. Similarly, this Mario is from a timeline that Mario retires to become a doctor instead of pursuing the days as the Mushroom Kingdom protector. Although this did not stop him from being any weaker from the red wearing hero himself in battle. Lucario finally reappears as well, right between Olimar and R.O.B. after being content with his intense training. Both trainers would appear directly next to Rosalina on a whim, just like the current Ike appearing next to his younger counterpart. Villager finally appears in between two empty seats, one of Mega Man and the other of the treacherous Wolf. Zero Suit Samus appears directly next to Wario, content that her body is worked to its fullest. Little Mac also appears in his own seat, satisfied with the training. Mario would use this time to jump directly in his seat near the highest upper left corner thanks to his own jumps. Sonic already ran to his seat between Lucas and Dedede thanks to his blinding speed. Almost everyone would be all together and ready for this highly important Smash Brothers meeting. A majority of these powerful universal protectors would be all in place and ready to begin this important meeting on the subject of their greatest foe ever.

"Greetings, fellow Smash Brothers. As you are aware, we will have to start this meeting without a few key people. Peach due to her kidnapping, the less than heroic members like Bowser that chose to betray us behind our backs just like the Subspace Army invasion, Mega Man and Banjo due to unknown circumstances, and Bayonetta due to slacking off on a vacation. Donkey Kong and Captain Falcon should arrive soon as they did promise to return with Mario and Sonic safely. So we will hold on out until they can arrive," Marth announced.

"Well actually, Banjo and Mega Man on flying with my pal Shadow to help G.U.N. on a mission. And Bayonetta is taking a quick trip through Hell to pick up someone very important," Sonic interjects. The entire group would stare at the hedgehog after his words. Many would be chattering amongst themselves about this revelation, several feeling less than pleased.

"But how? We already sent them on a mission to investigate the Legion. Why would they willingly work with another organization without our permission?" Palutena states.

"Well we had known that Shadow was already a G.U.N. agent since joining our ranks as an Assist. But for what reason would he borrow some of our operatives for his own organization?" Falco said in suspicion.

"Because alliances are what we need if it means stopping the Legion's reign of terror. That's why I appreciated that bear, bird, witch, robot boy, and your famous plumber's help in saving me. I was foolish enough to let myself get captured and fall into Eggman's hands. But that's why I also appreciate what my friends, the Sega Super Stars did back there to take me back unharmed and get out alive. My friends also helped get Mario & Banjo Kazooie out of that pinch when the Legion overpowered them. This organization would had been two less strong Fighters, well three because even Bayonetta was getting her butt kicked out there. You all see where I'm going with this?" Sonic proposed.

Mario nods as his blue friend had a huge point in why an alliance would be the best way to put an end to a great evil that's aiming to rule everything. Wario grew slightly interested if one of those friends happened to be a certain bat that also happen to share his love of jewels. Luigi anticipates a good answer since he's well acquainted with Sonic friends with the annual Olympic Games every time.

"Sorry Sonic. No disrespect towards you, but this is a preposterous plan that we simply can't agree with. We are better off handling the situation on our own as an organization and not forming an alliance with smaller groups," Meta Knight said in his gravely voice.

This surprised Sonic as he never expected a mobile fighter like him to be against any means necessary to defeat a greater evil.

"But why? Let us not forget that we almost lost twice, against Tabuu and Galeem when it was all of us together and no allies forces. Greater numbers would easily turn the tides for all of us," Sonic argues.

"But alliances can only go so far. There's a reason many would ask for our help alone since we are the greatest protectors of this universe, or perhaps the extended multiverse at large. Your idea is great, but MK is correct with his words," Palutena stated.

"Those PlayStation All Stars proposed the same thing. We rejected their offer since their track record with hero work is too small to be accepted by one of greater value like the Smash Brothers," the burly Ike called.

"It doesn't help that one of their members happen to be one of Snake's own allies. Albeit from another point in the future. But you can understand how awkward it would be if Snake were to cooperate with another Raiden than his own timeline's Raiden. Even if we saved him during the World of Light incident," Simon said solemnly.

"Not to mention some members would be quite difficult to cooperate with. Most notably the Ghost of Sparta with his endless bloodlust and belligerent attitude. Even other members like Mael Radec and Sweet Tooth are just hard to reason with," Zero Suit Samus said.

"Adding to Zammy's point, the founder is so full of himself that even our Master Hand would be highly against it. That purple polygon face's own arrogance is enough of a reason we disagreed with the alliance," Daisy shouts before slamming her fist.

"So our evaluation is that you will have to pick your battles wisely, Sonic. We have no interest in accepting your terms. Whether you are one of us or not," Cloud said.

One member would disagree, and that would be none other than Corrin.

"I am one to believe that we all must team up to take down a common enemy. I've done so in my timeline to make both of my families defeat Anankos once and for all. Who's to say that we won't be more victorious that way and we can punish our rogue members later," the Hoshidian prince said.

"Enough, do you realize how naive you sound? Greater numbers isn't always the answer. Take what happened to Hyrule for example and all the moments it would be ruled by Ganondorf throughout time. If one Hero would be enough to defeat him, then we do not accept the help of non-members," Sheik barked.

"Even one hero wouldn't be enough against one threat. There are times I've been assisted by great friends like Chip, Yacker and his Wisp species, the Rookie who helped the Resistance, Team Rose, Team Chaotix, Team Dark, Tails, Knuckles, Shahra, and evening sometimes Eggman when he's not being evil. My point is that we can't just think one group can defeat the Legion when mines barely struggled to take them all on alone back there. They are already growing in numbers, all signs point to your fellow Smash Brothers that just happen to be villains gathering their numbers and even wanting to join to Legion with how much damage they did to many worlds already on their own. You wouldn't want to imagine how much stronger they would get if the likes of everyone following Bowser and Ganondorf's lead shakes hands with Eggman's already large alliance," Sonic defensively replied.

"He's right. They already may have a dangerous scientist like Andross on their side. Who alone almost laid waste to Corneria's surface with one weapon and did have experience ruling the entirety of the Lylat System with the Venom Army alone. Don't their disappearance line up with everything Sonic is saying? Bowser wouldn't just stop at the Legion but convince anyone he's really chummy with in our organization to join forces with the Legion," Fox said with his arms crossed.

"That Skull Kid with Majora's Mask is also on the loose. With the Moon also gone instead of being contained here, this world is in more danger than we've expected," Young Link said in a worried manner.

A flight of purple light appears with Dark Pit floating back unto his original set next to his real counterpart and Zero Suit Samus.

"Pittoo, where have you been?" Pit asks.

"Doing more than you and your goddess ever did before. Hey, everyone! I've been doing my own form of intel and have something to tell you all," the dark angel said.

Sonic and Mario nods since someone else reasonable is here to support their case.

"Ah Dark Pit. The only anti-hero who is yet to really turn against us. At the risk of putting our trust in you, feel free to tell us everything that you know," Marth said.

Palutena still didn't appreciate his attitude just because he was accepted into Viridi's Forces of Nature ranks very easily.

"Thank you, Marth. As all of you may not be aware of, Bowser and Wily are not the only men gets who are siding against us as part of the Legion. I managed to catch wind of Skull Kid, barely as he's been sent into Null Space by that masked loser Infinite. I acted as the security for the ship Shadow and his G.U.N. Grew were a part of while they enacted their secret plan of taking out two Legion commanders Reala and Mishaela. Whether they failed or not in their plan doesn't matter since I flew farther ahead to look at their destination the Lost Hex. The place is overrun with minions that work for Bowser, Wily, K. Rool, Ganondorf, Andross, Black Knight, Devil, and that organization that originally cloned Mewtwo. I could also recognize some henchmen that worked for some of the few villains that we did save during the World of Light incident. Viridi also warned me that she felt a familiar powerful presence in Speed Highway. One of which Pit and I had fought before. If that isn't a sign of worse things to come, then I don't know what will," Dark Pit explains.

"You mean to tell me that he's back?" Pit yelled.

"Yes. The God of the Underworld is back for more reasons than annoying us. Getting revenge and gathering the souls of all living beings throughout the universe," Dark Pit replied.

"Don't tell me that Dracula reincarnated again!" Richter shouts.

"You are correct, even a great threat like him is alive and well again other than being a pawn that Galleem revived," the angel replied.

Simon stood from his seat abruptly in silence. Others could tell that when Dracula is involved, he's almost never in a good mood.

"Mark my words, I will find you and kill you for good. Humanity doesn't need to suffer more from your demonic army or castle. Sonic, I'll be someone who agrees with your plan if it means sending him back to Hell where he belongs," the Belmont clan member said.

Sonic smiles when things are taking an interesting turn with this meeting. The Goddess of Light also stands up, tapping her staff for the Palutena Army halo to glow behind her body.

"I also stand by Sonic's plan. It did take combined forces to bring Hades down before. Who knows how much stronger that devious god became since his revival," Palutena said.

This would cause even more chattering between all members within the room. Mr. Game & Watch makes a shrill beep while panicking one frame at a time between Chrom and Meta Knight. Toon Link grimaces at the thought of this as R.O.B. slowly squints the window like "eye-lids" over his visor.

"Ai-ya!" MinMin shouts as Byleth closes his book he had planned for class and Steve chows down on steak.

Duck Hunt angrily barks at the thought of this, leading Ryu to calmly ignore him and Ken snickering at the dog. The duck that assists him would then quack aggressively back at his dog partner's face to silence him. Pichu would faint due to being overwhelmed before the alarmed Doctor Mario get his sextant ready to diagnose him. Luigi and Ness hi fives when this debate isn't as one sided as it initially was anymore. Link nods as he's quite glad some men gets were beginning to open their eyed at the intensity of this global pandemic.

"I would suggest bringing Banjo here as he's a witness. That would give everyone here a reason to consider Mario and Sonic's offer for a potential alliance," Dark Pit said.

Marth willingly takes out a device with a character selection HUD on it and clicks the icon with Banjo Kazooie. The bear and bird eventually falls between Erdrick and Terry out of nowhere. He eventually got back to his feet and dusts his furry shin as Kazooie pops out of his blue backpack.

"Next time warn us when you use that report teleporter. I almost broke a wing," the Breegull complains.

"I concur. I was busy having a nice flight to guard the G.U.N. until all of you taken me here. Is there something I should report with my mission?" the bear said.

Marth then proceeds to press a Bayonetta icon, which opened a red portal from Inferno that drops Bayonetta off. The witch lands directly onto all four limbs in time to prevent any damage with her rear aiming high in the air in a stylish manner. Little Mac quickly covers his eyes with his green gloves since she's still as flaunting as ever with her figure.

"Is there a reason I have to come here? Things were already getting fun gathering intel from Rodin in the Gates of Hell. State your business with me, darlings," the witch said as she stands up completely.

"Bayonetta and Banjo Kazooie, tell us everything you know about the Legion and any possibilities of them teaming up with the Smash traitors who went missing," Ike demands.

Kazooie shakes her head as she had the feeling it would come to this. Bayonetta finally sits down in her seat between Corrin and Inkling to rest her case.

"If you all insists. I was gathering intel from Rodin based on what he knew of the Legion. He once did some favors for the incoming Hell Meeting this year and caught wind of two certain demons all of you may know having a private conversation. The blue unsightly Devil was talking with the talk and gamble happy Devil. Both of them were not only talking about plans of forming an alliance with Bowser and the other villainous Smash members that left headquarters, but propose a bigger alliance with the Legion for how successful they were at taking over the world. Of course both of them were able to list some useful names that he managed to catch wind of. Rodin is really trustworthy with the rumor mil, there's no reason to doubt him. Never lose faith in a bartender from Hell," the witch explains.

The entire room would be filled with awe and worry based on the witch's words now that they knew there's proof of Bowser's ulterior motives. Sonic gives his ally a thumbs up for helping out with everything. Bayonetta turns back and winked at him to express her willingness to cooperate.

"Mumbo Jumbo was able to send Kazooie and I a telepathic message regarding the status of Gruntilda. She's made herself fleshy and alive again thanks to a sorceress that works for the Legion. That same sorceress also given her beauty back, which we snapped him out of thinking about. The real point is how that storm they created that ruined a majority of the world and the universe is all the doing of her and every powerful magician on their side. Including Kamek, someone very loyal to Bowser," the bear announced.

"But that's not all. That storm the green hag caused disrupted the balance of life and death through the universe too thanks to that Purge freak's space satellite dish. Everyone, good or evil is back from the dead. The Legion will not rest until these evildoers lurking around join them. But that's not to say we shouldn't ignore anyone dead that's possibly important to all of you as well. Phew, that was a mouthful and this chapter is almost over," the bird adds.

It was then Meta Knight would be the first to draw his blade upon hearing these words. Just the thought that many dangerous threats that he helped destroy from Zero to possibly the Void Termina being alive again scares this masked knight deeply. Wario growls deeply knowing that many of his old foes other than his rival Syrup are at large once more to get in his way. Lucina loses her cool at the thought the Fell Dragon is rearing his ugly head once more. Ness had a bad feeling that Giygas is far from done with his existence threatening the universe once more. Diddy isn't happy with the thought that the Tiki Tak Clan may rear their ugly wooden heads once more with a new life. Just when all was peaceful, Cloud could feel that a certain one-winged ghost from the past will be back to haunt him. Inkling shudders at the thought of a certain crazy telephone named after sauce would exact his revenge once more. Steve quickly dons his strongest sword, the Diamond Sword, knowing that there is another time to slay the Ender Dragon once more. Shulk would be the most afraid as he had a bad feeling a certain god is back to terrorize this universe. Everyone would be in a complete state of unrest knowing that what the Legion is doing is bigger than they have expected. This is now classified as a high level alert for all members thanks to the information brought to light by certain operatives. Marth once again looks at Sonic after hearing all he needed to know from everyone he needed. The hedgehog would only await what words the Archanean prince had for him.

"Well Sonic, tell me what's this plan of yours in detail. We are all listening here," he sternly said.

Some anvils needed to be dropped. I got to say that the universe is now in more danger than ever, thanks to an accidental concoction by the Legion themselves. There is confirmation that almost every possible threat that died is back. This would only give the Legion or Smash Remnants more possible people to recruit depending on which one wins their own fight. The Smash Brothers finally gotten to see Sonic for the first time in a while to hear his plan regarding a way to defeat the Legion. Many would disagree due to not being keen on partnering, but some bombshells dropped by Banjo Kazooie and Bayonetta would make them reconsider their train of thought.

Now we are going places with the implementation of time instead of just space itself. You could say this is foreshadowing of a certain futuristic hedgehog eventually making his way to the past (this current time) in the near future. You all been waiting and I did say I wanted a good reason for him to be involved than the lazy "he always lived in the past with Sonic" approach that Sega went with lately. Next Saturday, we will see more of this meeting and learn how this iconic organization will tackle this great threat. Until then, see you next time and wish me well on my recovery.
