Author's note: The google doc I was typing on was really starting to slow down. That doc was over 120 pages for this whole movie. Normally the normal docs for episodes (five) are just over eighty. I had to make a new doc so it wouldn't slow down anymore and transferred everything I had already written for this part and the next part over to here. We're back with Marth's group in this episode. The Halberd will be world hopping to gather as many allies as it can for the final attack against Hades. A few worlds will be featured as well as some characters making their story debut on here. There will also be some final moments before the battle scenes with Mario's, Master Hand's, and Hades's' teams. I've also finally decided to add the four character tags. I've put down Mario, Master Hand, Marth, and Joker. This is always subject to change to whoever is making prominent appearances in episodes. First review is from ultimateCCC.

"Which Smash Character would pull a Fonzie? My money's on Joker."

I don't entirely know what you mean by that. But if it refers to the poll on my profile Joker will only be paired with one person in this story. Next review is from Generic Smash Bros Fan.

"1: I forgot to mention this in the previous chapter, but considering that Sora was in the story, and that you put disney characters in the chapter, I think it was a missed opportunity not to have put Goofy and Donald, I mean, I'm not a fan of Kingdom Hearts but, I guess it made sense.
2: Then, Akuma and Bass defeated. well, only Akechi and Hades are missing …"

1. I suppose that is a missed opportunity. If it was Mario's group that had gone to Disney I probably would've had Cloud run into those two.
2. Akechi and Hades along with Ema Skye from 2028, who is under mind control. But yes about half of the team for this arc is gone at this point.
Next review is from Jetman615

"Oh boy... poor Bass. If he is ever revived, Hades better watch out.
Speaking of which, Is this going to be the last time we see Bass or?..."

You're gonna have to wait until the end of the final part of the movie to see my thoughts on certain characters and their position with the series moving forward. While I'm on that, I can confirm as of now that I have decided on the few characters to leave residency when Season 6 starts. You may have already seen them on my profile. I'll go into detail of why I have decided to not include these characters anymore at the end of this part. Next review is from Derick Lindsey.

"Huh I was right it was Seattle Washington although I wasn't thinking of the exact place the Space Needle, also word's been spread around now that the Smashers are real and Master Hand will definitely be furious upon finding out they're exposed (unless he can cause a mass amnesia spell that wipes everyone's memories of the Smashers existing and destroyed all the evidence of their existence). Also Bass was betrayed by Hades I should of figured someone would be it although I was expecting Akechi and is now blown up but he'll probably find his way back, also nice to see the two Byleths talk about their respective paths and funny enough I'm currently experience the Black Eagle route through watching a playthrough of my friends on stream. Right I completely forgot about Marth's group still traveling through the vortex but I guess they'll also find out where Hades is at and meet the other two groups there, I wonder if maybe the role Incineroar plays is saving Pit now that Hades has him captured and I'm surprised he didn't try to get Dark Pit as well and wherever Palutena is maybe he's just interested in Pit for dealing him the final blow in their previous fight."

Master Hand does not have a mass amnesia ability, the world finding out is a consequence they are going to have to live with. And Master Hand currently doesn't know about this due to being stuck in the Morgana van on the way to Seattle. Marth's group already knows it's Seattle since part 3 and they will meet the others there. And Incineroar's role in all of this is of course going to be revealed in the final part, I've already hinted to what it was going to be in part 2. Next review is from a Guest.

"Link and Zelda have been exposed. Looks like everyone including Master Hand's team and Hades has been exposed to the public. If Master Hand's group is exposed, is Master Hand himself exposed as well? Hades has captured Pit and is going to attack Seattle, Washington! I assume that Marth's group may be exposed upon arrival to Earth."

Characters that live on Earth in their games actually live in the real world, but as for Master Hand he will be exposed. And Marth's group is disregarding caution entirely; they're literally the cavalry. Last review is from Charmander17.

"Is it Nintendo of America hq for the attack?"

The Nintendo of America building is not the direct location of the attack. The fight will mostly happen in the immediate area around the Space Needle in Seattle. The HQ though will be seen.

Halberd

Music: The World Adventure - Sonic Unleashed

The Halberd was moving at top speeds through the vortex. While the risk for the time vortexes were high the Halberd was far too big to get pulled into one, which made for mostly smooth sailing. Meta Knight's crew proved themselves capable of flying the ship, and everyone was able to begin to turn in for the time being. Some people had to stay awake in shifts though as they would be visiting worlds throughout the night. It may be inconvenient but it had to be done.

In the control room of the Halberd right now was the hero-king, Marth. The altean prince had been keeping an eye on things around the ship due to being the acting Man of the Mansion. While there may be no one at the mansion at this time the Smash Island wasn't in any immediate danger. Even then the AI would keep an eye on things and would do its best to prevent an attack.

Right now Captain Vul was talking with Rex and Pyra as they had decided that they were going to stop in their world first. "So the world we're going for is called Alrest right," Vul asked. When Rex nodded the captain put in certain command and a hologram of the corresponding world showed up behind him. "Hmm, any specific place of interest."

"Mor Ardain," Rex said. "A friend of ours lives there, she's the special inquisitor of the Empire. She helped us when it came to getting to Elysium."

"Mòrag wasn't exactly a friend of ours at first, but we were able to work together eventually," Pyra said. "The Empire has a rather impressive army. We felt like they would be good allies to have in this fight."

"Well, you two will not only have to introduce me. But do the talking as well," Marth commented as he looked at the hologram of Mor Ardain. The hero-king then noticed something that was off to him. "Didn't you two say the titans on your world were living creatures? How come this one's frozen?"

Rex realized what Marth meant and scratched his forehead. "Ah that. It's a long story, but we don't exactly have time to tell it," Rex said(1).

"Sir, we're about ten minutes out from Alrest," Sailor Waddle Dee said to Captain Vul. "Should we gather those on the current shift?"

"Go get 'em lad," Vul said. Sailor Waddle Dee then scurried out of the control room in order to gather everyone up. Vul then turned his attention to those in the room. "It'll be dark when we get there so be quiet for anyone that may be sleeping."

"Hope your friend will be willing to help us," Marth said. The door to the control room opened back up and Rosalina and the Black Knight came through. "Oh are you two the only other ones up."

"There are seven more, but it will take that little creature a bit more time together all of them," Black Knight said. The sinister general then examined the hologram. "So this is where we're stopping first?"

"Seems like a rather barren place," Rosalina commented.

"Ah yeah, the way the Ardanians used the ether given off by the titan caused things to get hotter which caused it to become a desert," Rex said, walking over to view the hologram himself. "If what had happened didn't happen the titan would probably be submerged below the cloud sea."

The door to the control room opened up again and Sailor Waddle Dee ran back through. Also coming through the door was Impa, Magnus, and Dunban. All three were also a part of the first night shift. "Okay approaching the exit, brace for slight gravitational disturbance," Vul said as the the ship made a turn and a portal opened. Once the Halberd was through the wings were once again thrown open as the ship fell for a bit before stopping. "Okay we're through… welcome to Alrest."

Rex walked over to the window of the Halberd and looked over the land below. He eventually spotted something and pointed, "Mor Ardain is down there. The dock right over there."

"Can we do a water landing," Sailor Waddle Dee asked Captain Vul.

"This ship can stay afloat yes, but it's not meant to be on water for too long. We'll have to be quick with this one. About an hour or two tops," Vul said. The other nodded with this information. Vul and the crew then prepared the Halberd and had it land in the dock. With how big the ship was it barely fit between to walkways. "There we go. Remember, an hour or two tops!"

"We'll be back," Marth said as the group turned to exit the control room. Once they were off the ship Rex and Pyra took the lead to guide them to Alba Cavanich. "Are there any monsters we should be worried about here."

"Nothing we can't handle, but yeah. They'll be some enemies we'll have to take care of along the way," Rex said. The group then went up the desert path in the direction towards the elevator.

Rest area on I-84, Idaho
(April 14th, 2020)(5:30 AM)

It was a miracle Master Hand's group was even able to make it this far in such little time. This was mostly because there were some moments where they were able to safely cheese the travel time by hopping through the portals. They were on the road for the rest of the ride though. Joker had been tired out awhile ago though and Master Hand decided he would take the wheel while everyone else got rest. They ended up stopping at a rest area to make the driver switch.

In order to make the switch though most of those in the van had to get out. They decided this was as good a place as any to fix their appearances. Master Hand was waiting in the driver's seat now for everyone else to get back in.

"How much longer until we make it to Seattle at this point," Luke tiredly said from the back of the van. The apprentice was worried this question would annoy Master Hand.

The man of the mansion didn't mind it however and thought things over. "Well, we're close to Boise, Idaho right now. Given that I'd say, if we don't run into any traffic, about eight hours, ten if we do run into traffic," Master Hand answered. "We'll make one more stop as we get close to Seattle."

"Thank goodness, I didn't know I could even keep this transformation up for this long," Morgana said. Thankfully, not too many civilians were around to hear him. "Or is that because of my powers."

"Bit of both," Master Hand said.

"Do you really think we'll be able to get there before Hades attacks," Makoto asked.

"There's no telling really. If I could have my way I wouldn't call reinforcements, but it's probably too late anyway. There's no way they'd get there in time unless they started traveling yesterday." Master Hand noticed that most of the group was coming back now and signaled Morgana to start his engine. Soon enough everyone was in with Crazy Hand not really sneakily floating from above.

Master Hand was on the road soon after that, with most of the residents inside the van falling asleep again or looking out the windows. In the shotgun seat was Edgeworth, who was reading a newspaper. "What's that paper about Mr. Edgeworth," Maya asked from behind him.

"The usual things you would see in a newspaper. Sports, daily life, politics," Edgeworth said. He then realized he never took a proper look at the front page. He didn't bother since those are typically exaggerated, but he flipped over to it anyway. One look though caused him to sit straight up. "And an article of Master Hand, a portal, Link, Zelda, and multiple others being spotted in New York City!"

Master Hand swerved for a second in shock over that causing everyone else to wake up. "What's this about Link and Zelda?!"

"Eyes on the road Master Hand," Yusuke warned as Master Hand was about to try and look at the paper.

"It was a normal day in New York City, as normal as it could be. Suddenly though one of our reporters grew suspicious as they passed by two individuals they felt to be Link and Zelda from Hyrule. Upon their personal investigation they came up with the following photographs. Note that these have been tested and proven to be legitimate," Edgeworth read aloud. They were the exact words Magolor had read in the last chapter.

"Who in the world would lead another group to follow after us," Phoenix asked.

"Mario, it's gotta be," Master Hand deadpanned. The man of the mansion looked like he was about to explode. "I told him specifically to not follow us. And he did it anyway, and now the truth is out with no way to spin it. I'm in for an earful."

"For all we know Mario's team may already be heading over to Seattle themselves to stop Hades," Ryuji stated.

"Can someone message them. I know the time vortexes are making that hard right now but anything?"

"No service. Does anyone have a normal cellular phone," Layton said, attempting once again to contact the red plumber.

"That won't reach them," Ken said.

"What about the communicator we got off Akuma," Chun-Li said, pulling said communicator out of her pocket. The police had handed it over to her upon Akuma's arrest.

"As long as you don't accidentally contact Hades try it," Master Hand said.

Chun-Li handed it to Futaba to have a look at it. The hermit arcane then fiddled with it for a bit and what looked like contacts showed up. There was only one. "The only contact on here is for Hades."

"Keep trying I guess," Master Hand said. They continued driving down the road while some decided to go back to sleep.


Alrest
Mor Ardain

Music: Alba Cavanich - Xenoblade Chronicles 2

"This is the capital," Rex said as the group stepped out of the elevator. Multiple buildings and pipelines spread throughout the city. At the end of it was a very tall building. Rex pointed at that building saying, "And that's the castle. There's a chance Mòrag is there as well."

"It's getting late though we should hurry before they change shifts," Pyra said. After Rex nodded in agreement the group began walking towards the castle.

Marth took a look out over a bridge to see how high up they were. It wasn't as high as the hero-king was expecting before the ocean showed, but he wouldn't dare jump either way."

"Given the nature of your world before certain events happened I'm sure transitioning was rather difficult," Rosalina said.

"I can't begin to imagine what a cloud sea would look like," Black Knight said, glancing at a soldier they were passing by. "A rather large army here too."

"Well, Mor Ardain has the most advanced army in this world. They currently have a station on Torigoth at Gormott," Rex said. The salvager then stopped once they passed through the entrance.

"I suppose we'll have to wait here for this Mòrag to arrive," Impa asked as Rex went over to the soldier at the entrance.

"Well we have been able to freely roam before, but that was when we did have Mòrag with us," Pyra said.

"Well, let's hope they don't turn us away. We do have an urgent mission after all," Dunban said. The homs then noticed Rex walking back over. "So what did they say?"

Rex gave a thumbs up saying, "We're all set. They said Mòrag is over by the castle docks." The salvager and aegis then led the small group through the large hall and out the other end. On the docks were a few titan warships. "Oh looks like there's less here than usual."

"Are these battleships," Magnus asked. Some looked over in shock since this was the first time he's talked this whole trip.

"They are indeed," said a new voice walking over to them, "some are currently out right now in the Torigoth station." The group looked over to see Mòrag walk over to them. "I must say it has been a long time since I've seen you two. And I see you've brought friends from the Smash Island as well."

"Mòrag, yeah it's been quite a while hasn't it," Rex said. He slightly widened as he remembered where they were even here. "Ah, right. We came here for a reason."

"What does the specifics of this reason pertain too," said none other than Mòrag's blade, Brighid, who was walking over now. "I must inform you we are very busy."

"Calm yourself Brighid. We should at least hear them out," Mòrag said. The flamebringer turned her head back to the group. "Now what was your reason for coming here?"

Rex turned to Marth who walked forward to introduce himself. "You most likely don't know me, but I am Marth. Currently the acting man of the mansion. Some developments happened on the island and now an enemy of ours known as Hades is close to mounting a full on assault in Seattle."

"Seattle? Is that a part of the Smash Island," Mòrag asked out of curiosity. "I don't really see how this involves us."

"Well Seattle is not a part of the Smash Island. It's in the real world. In other words Hades is planning a full-on assault on a city on Earth," Marth explained. "There are already two groups on Earth right now hunting him down, but we don't know if they'll find him in time."

"I figured you would have a way to contact each other through dimensions," Brighid said.

"We did, we still do. But Hades messed with time, he brought someone's future self here into the past. And using a portal raygun she had, he plans on having his troops arrive on Earth almost instantly. As well as keeping a portal open indefinitely. Because of bringing someone to a point of time they shouldn't be in though more time vortexes popping up and have even opened in worlds themselves. And it more or less caused us to lose signal. Allow me to go more in detail of what's been happening."


Fifteen minutes later..

"I see. So Hades plans to attack the real world with a full size army from this Underworld and you don't think the combined power of Mario and Master Hand's groups will be enough," Mòrag summed up. The special inquisitor seemed to be on the fence. "As much as I wish we could be of help to you I have duty here in Mor Ardain to protect."

"Hades plans for a multiversal conquest though, not just the real world," Black Knight stated. "Once Earth is his he'll conquer the dimensions one-by-one. Until finally he reaches the Smash Island or here. If we can combine enough forces we can stop everything in that city."

Mòrag looked slightly down in thought. "I'll need to talk things over with the Emperor. Since you are in a hurry I'll make it fast and hope he's not asleep yet. Wait here with them Brighid."

"Of course Lady Mòrag," Brighid said. Mòrag then walked away from the group and over to on of the elevators in the main hall. "It should be too long until she returns."

"How much time do we have until we have to get back on the ship," Rosalina asked Impa.

"Roughly thirty minutes," Impa simple answered. The sheikah warrior was leaning against one of the walls. "We should get a warning message from Captain Vul eventually."

"Well, even if you aren't able to lend help, thank you for hearing us out," Pyra said. Brighid simply nodded.

"I guess we can talk about where we plan to go next while we wait for Mòrag to return," Dunban said.

Marth nodded to Rosalina. The protector of the cosmos then pulled out a device that showed the Halberd's flight path and all the worlds it would pass along the way. "The next closest world is Dream Land, we can probably gather the rest of Kirby's friends there. After that there will be a shift change before the world after that which is the Bionis."

"The Bionis? We can probably get Sharla there to help us. Don't know if she's at Colony 6 though," Dunban said.

Mòrag then came back at this point. Once she approached the group she said, "The emperor has granted the request. I'll be joining you in the journey to the real world. Unfortunately we'll only be able to bring two warships and a handful of men."

"And Nopon driver," said a voice familiar to Rex and Pyra. Everyone looked up to where the voice came from and saw Tora being brought down by Poppi's rocket feet. "Tora overhear Rex-Rex's troubles with 'Hades.' Tora and Poppi wish to offer assistance!"

"Tora, Poppi, have you been up there the whole time," Rex asked. Mòrag was rather shocked that they never noticed them until now.

"Tora and Poppi were in Mor Ardain when seeing Rex-Rex and other friends. Tora decided to follow afterwards."

"Well we could use all the help we can get," Marth said.

"Poppi and masterpon not alone either," Poppi said. The artificial blade then pointed as someone walked out of the elevator. "She didn't jump."

It took Rex a second, but his eyes widened as he realized who it was. "Mythra that you?!"

It was indeed the aegis herself who was walking over. "Rex, Pyra, been awhile. I see you made some new friends too."

"Where have you been Mythra? You disappeared after everything happened," Pyra said.

Mythra looked away before simply saying, "I went into hiding. While we were able to stop him I still didn't want anyone to suffer from my powers."

"What do you mean by suffer," Magnus said. Once again shocking everyone around.

"Oh big man does talk," Tora said.

"Well, I don't expect any of you to know since you're not from this world… so I'd rather not say," Mythra answered. Magnus did not seem so pleased by the answer.

"So it was a regret of your actions. I have been through that myself," Black Knight said. "I looked up to a man. However, in orders of someone I was forced to kill him. I haven't forgiven myself yet. Nor do I plan to."

"I remember hearing things from Ike," Rosalina stated. She had an idea of who the Black Knight was talking about.

"Anyway, if that is all I'll round up my men and follow you into the portal," Mòrag said. She nodded towards Brighid and the two walked off.

Impa left her position on the wall and began to walk towards the exit of the building. "Looks like we're out of here," she said.

"Indeed Impa. Let's go. Tora, Poppi, Mythra, you're coming with right," Dunban said. Tora nodded enthusiastically while Poppi did the same. Mythra reluctantly nodded. "Let's get back to the Halberd then."


Earth Portal Vortex
April 14th, 2020 (2:05 PM)

The Lor Starcutter was currently flying through the vortex on its way to Seattle. Due to the number of time vortexes showing up Magolor has had move the ship out of the vortex multiple times. This caused a very bumpy ride for all those on board.

Mario was still fuming from earlier. Being exposed to the world and Pit being captured really didn't sit well with the red plumber. Viridi has been stressing about it a lot too. The ship rocked forward a bit once again. "Did-a we have to jump out-a again," Mario asked Magolor.

"Yep it was getting too clustered in there," Magolor said. The captain of the ship was currently hitting a few buttons on the Starcutter. "Whatever Hades did really messed up the vortex. Once this is over we need to find out what got into this point in time and send it back."

"How close are we to Seattle," Viridi shouted at Magolor.

"Give me a minute," Magolor said. The pilot punched a few keys in the control board and a map of the U.S. popped up. Eventually a red dot showed up. "We're somewhere over Montana."

"We need to find another portal to jump into," Meta Knight said looking at the map for potential entry points. One eventually showed up on the map not too far away from them. "That'll take about five minutes to fly over to."

"Viridi I can't help but notice that you've been worried about Pit. I thought you hated him," Corrin said, completely oblivious of the events of Thanksgiving 2018.

"Have you been living under a rock," Viridi shouted at the dragon prince. She then crossed her arms. "I'm not telling you that if you don't remember."

"In any case we should be in Seattle in fifty-five minutes so we need to make final preparations before the fight, okay," Magolor said. The group nodded and went to do just that.


Portal Vortex
April 14th, 2020 (2:00 AM)

The Halberd has now traveled to both Dream Land and the Bionis. They had also gone to Venom and picked up Wolf's crew who had parked their ships inside the Halberd. The Titan Warships being commanded by Mórag were flying alongside the Halberd. And since it was now past midnight a shift change was done. Awake and now in the control room was Kamui, Dillon, Marie, X, Lucario, and Andrew. The later of all who had been on the Halberd since parking the wolfen.

"Okay our next two worlds of interest are Inkopolis and World of ARMS," Captain Vul said, pulling up two worlds on the holographic tables in the bridge. Pictures of certain people then popped up alongside the world. "In Inkopolis we hope to recruit the rest of Squidbeak Splatoon. And in the World of ARMS we hope to recruit any of Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, and Min Min's friends."

"Major drawback on both fronts is that it's super early in the morning. Everyone is likely to be asleep," Marie said. The idol was going to feel bad for waking up her comrades at this hour. Well almost. "I can get Marina and Pearl. The rest of you would have to get the other agents. And then someone can get Sheldon to fire up the truck."

"Do you happen to know where they live Marie," Lucario asked. The group then watched as she punched in some buttons and the addresses showed up. "I'm gonna hope them giving you those was asked for and not stalked for."

"Well it was Callie who asked for them and it was mainly to plan hangouts. But it makes it easier to get them for missions too."

"I can get Sheldon. He'll probably recognize me," Dillon said.

"Okay the Titan Warships have been informed that we're jumping out soon," Sailor Waddle Dee stated. "Ready when you are sir."

Vul nodded and the Halberd was steered towards the exit, the Titan Warships were close behind.


Inkopolis

Music: Octo Valley - Splatoon

The Halberd landed little ways just out of Inkopolis Square and took a slow descent. The Titan Warships also slowly went down. Everyone all hoping they weren't going to wake anyone up like this. The entrance to the Halberd opened up and the group walked out. "Okay, I'll go to Cuttlefish Cabin to get Gramps. You guys get the others."

"We meet back here in thirty minutes," X said. Once the others nodded they split up. Dillon and Marie went on their own while X and Lucario went together and Andrew and Kamui went together.

Kamui and Andrew eventually made it to an apartment complex close to Humpback Pump Track. The two quietly slipped through the front door and proceeded to look through the apartment number and who lived where.

"All the way up on the eighth floor," Kamui said pointing towards said number on the list. The two then looked at the elevator which was out of order. "And we're forced to take the stairs."

"Eh I skipped my daily workout yesterday anyway," Andrew said. The Starwolf member then began walking over to the stairs with Kamui close behind. While it took longer than it would've by elevator, they eventually reached the eighth floor. "Okay that was slightly harder than expected."

Kamui walked down the hall while trying to do her best not to wake anyone up. Once the dragon princess was in front of the right door she did her best to knock on it enough to wake up the ones inside.

(music fades out)

The two patiently waited for something to happen. Eventually though the knob turned and the door opened. This revealed to be a very sleepy Agent 4 of the Squidbeak Splatoon in a t-shirt and pajama shorts. The inkling eventually opened her eyes enough to see who was there. "Kamui? Some other guy? What are you two doing here."

"Nia, terrible sorry about coming here in the middle of the night, but this is rather important," Kamui said. "It has to do with Hades."

"Isn't that the guy that helped us in that battle on Thanksgiving two years ago," Agent 4 teiredly said.

"Wait what," Andrew questioned, looking at Kamui in confusion. "Why would a guy that help you once would flat out attack the Earth?"

That got the agent awake. "Wait, attack the Ea- mmpf-" Nia was promptly muffled by Kamui. Once the agent was calmed down the dragon princess let go. "Sorry, but seriously the real world."

"Yep, Mario and Master Hand have already gone in their own groups and now those of us that are left are heading over ourselves. We're recruiting who we can," Kamui explained.

"Well, I can definitely help. Let me get my gear, oh and wake up Nathaniel." With that the Agent quickly let the two into the apartment before closing the door.

"I thought Callie said you lived on your own," Kamui questioned.

"I did. But when Nathaniel started living in Inkopolis full-time we all decided it was probably best to have him stay with me. Since he can't quite afford his own place," Agent 4 said as she hastily grabbed her hero jacket and put it on. "Speaking of which."

Kamui and Andrew watched as Nia walked over to the couch. Which had Agent 9 sleeping on it. The inkling then grabbed the octoling by the shoulders and shook him. "Wake up!"

"WAZAT," Agent 9 shouted in shock, nearly karate chopping Agent 4 in the head. "Nia? What the heck was that for?! And what time is it?"

"We have visitors from the mansion. Get your gear." With that Nia went into her bedroom and closed the door.

Confused, Nathaniel looked over and saw Kamui and Andrew. "Kamui? Think you can explain to me what's going on here?" The dragon princess nodded and started from the top.

Couple minutes later…

While Kamui had been explaining everything Agent 9 had gotten into his clothes and Agent 4 had left her room with all her gear. "So Hades plans to attack the real world. Are we getting the others?"

"Some of the others we came with are already on that," Kamui said.


Dillon eventually learned that Sheldon lived not too far from Ammo Knights and was actually face-to-face with the horseshoe crab. Turns out he was up late again coming with some new weapons for the inklings and octolings to choose from. Dillon has already gone ahead and explained the situation. "Hmm, so Hades plans to attack the real world, and you and your friends have been gathering whoever you could to help?"

"Pretty much. We plan on getting the whole Squidbeak and your truck if that's possible," Dillon said.

"That is perfectly fine. Let me pack some of the weapons I have here and we can set out." The horseshoe crab eventually began rooting through some of his experimental weapons. First and foremost was his experimental tri-blaster(2). He also grabbed a bloblobber and a N Zap 95'.

"You have a lot of weapons there. Now that I think about it how did you get mixed up with the Squidbeak anyway," Dillon asked.

"Ah well it was during Agent 4's mission of stopping Octavio and saving the Zapfish. I was minding my own business in the shop one day when Marie came to me. In the back room she told me of her involvement with getting the zapfish back the first time. She asked if I could make some weapons that Agent 4 could use to help her out. I was happy to oblige of course."

"Well, I'm sure they're glad to have you on the team," Dillon said. Seldon nodded and he put on a backpack of his items. The two then promptly left the apartment.


Meanwhile X and Lucario had arrived at where Agents 3 and 8 lived. After a swift knock Agent 3 opened the door instantly demanding why they were there and what the hell did they want. They nearly had the door slammed on them five times. This was good enough to remind them not to wake Jake up at ungodly hours of the night.

While Jake was not happy about being brought back into action after the last mission Octa was a lot more welcoming and he gave them a couple snacks while Agent 3 got his things together. "I'm really sorry about him. He usually gets like this if he's woken up this early."

"Remind me never to wake him up at this time again," Lucario said to Octa. The aura pokemon took a bit out of the snack. "Hmm, a familiar flavor to something I've had on the Smash Island."

"Yeah I'm pretty sure on Earth it would be fried shrimp you're eating. So if it's unusual for a midnight snack it's just. Out eating habits-"

"Extraordinarily different from humans since you guys are mainly all fish. With the exception of Judd and Lil Judd," X said. The robot then held his hand out to Octa, who shook it. "We've never met before. I am MegaMan X, though you can call me X."

"Octa. Agent 8 of the Squidbeak Splatoon."

The door to the bedroom opened up and Agent 3 walked out. He had already been given the rundown of what was going on. "So Hades plans on attacking the real world, and you've been recruiting who you can."

"Yes, Marie has likely gotten her grandfather and Marina and Pearl at this point," Lucario said. The aura pokemon then stood up from where he was sitting. "Anyways, we haven't heard much from you two since you left. What's been going on in life for you two."

"A lot of unwanted attention due to the Squidbeak being exposed by Octavio two years ago. On another note Octa and I are now dating,' Jake said.

"Ah, I wanted to be the one to tell them that," Octa said, annoyed.

"Hmm, well congrats to you two," Lucario said. The communicator in him then started going off, it was Marie. "Marie what's going on?"

"Have you found the other agents yet," Marie asked through her end.

"Yep, we have them."

"Good, get them to the Halberd. Sheldon will be parking the truck on there so they can sleep on the ship." With that Marie signed off.

"Marie tell Callie she still owes me 30g from one year ago," Jake said. "Anyways, we should go."(3)


World of ARMS
(2:30 AM)

The Squidbeak had gotten onto the ship with all but Octa going to bed. The reason Agent 8 decided to stay awake was due to excitement of traveling again. Andrew had finally felt the need to sleep catching up to him and decided to turn in as they went into the next world. Just like before Marth had informed Biff they were coming beforehand, but also that they would arrive rather late. The hero-king was hoping the commentator would be able to get some of the fighters from that world together.

So you can imagine Lucario's dismay once he exited the Halberd to only see Biff with Ninjara and Mechanica. "Don't tell me this is all who decided to show," Lucario said to Biff as he walked over to him.

"I'm sorry Lucario, but Ninjara and Mechanica were the only ones in the area. We're in the off-season right now our fighters are scattered. There's no way we'd be able to round them all up in one night," Biff said.

"Biff's right. Buster Beach is about thirty minutes away from the Spring Stadium. And given that Byte & Barq would be shutdown by now it would take forever to get them," Mechanica said.

"This is all you're getting from this world," Ninjara said. With that the ninja fighter disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared past the Halberd's entrance. "I'm going to find a bed on here and go to sleep." With that Ninjara walked down the hall.

"I am truly sorry, Lucario," Biff said.

"It's fine. I'll explain the situation to Marth when he wakes up. Honestly, it's better than nothing, and the way I see it," Lucario said looking at Mechanica. "You three are probably the ones who care the most."

"Well Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, and Min Min are our friends after all," Mechanica said.

With that the three walked onto the ship. As the door closed Lucario gave the signal for the Titan warships to take off. The Halberd was off the ground about a second later. The ships flew through the still open portal which closed shortly after.


Seattle, Washington
April 14th, 2020 (2:30)

Hades was sitting up on one of the crates in the warehouse. Akechi and 2028 Ema were on crates facing him. "I want to let you two know that you're the only ones I can trust at this point," Hades said.

"Well that was sudden," Akechi said.

Hades ignored Akechi's comment and continued. "I guess the others weren't truly in for teamwork. They only did my bidding because of what they wanted out of it. Akuma wanted to get to Ryu, and Bass wanted to destroy Mega Man."

"What are you getting at here," Ema asked.

"I think I realized why teams of villains almost always all apart. They have a common enemy, but that is all they unite for. When it comes to their separate goals they can let their own ambitions take over. Giovanni at least had a plan and gave everyone in his team their own parts to play."

"Didn't you say you instigated that in the first,'' Akechi asked.

"Yes. What I'm saying is that what makes or breaks a team is synergy. The reason the fighters have prevailed time and time again was because they fought alongside each other for a long time. As such they knew strength weaknesses and ways to combo their abilities. As for us we're only a team of three but there is a form of synergy. And with my army an even bigger synergy since they follow my orders without question."

"Is this meant to be some motivational speech," Akechi said.

"That and an observation. It may seem they are together but they are split up right now. Mario and Master Hand are both converging on our position now. But the majority of the Mansion is back on the Smash Island. They are completely oblivious as to what's going on here."

"I see. Your saying without a large number of their group there's no chance they can defeat you," Ema speculated.

"Precisely Miss Skye. Now I won't deny they probably will be able to hold off for a good amount of time. But all it takes is a bit more force and bam!" Hades emphasized his point by smashing a crate next to him. "They crumble to pieces, one-by-one. Even more so when I bring in our leverage." Hades glanced towards a fourth crate. One where Pit was currently unconscious. "I wonder how morale will survive when one is killed right in front of them."

The dark magic keeping Ema under control seemed to falter a bit there. But it went back in a second. "Oh I'm sure it'll cause something," Ema said.

Hades then got off the crate. "Well, it's time to prepare. Get the device and get yourselves ready. We head for the Space Needle at the top of the hour." Ema nodded and walked away.

Akechi was about to walk away himself when Hades stopped him by grabbing him by the shoulder. "Something you need boss?"

"Akechi you know about that ragtag team with Master Hand don't you. The phantom thieves," Hades asked. Akechi nodded at this, remembering them well from their first confrontation in the Underworld. With the altered memories that is. "That group has been a thorn on my side for quite awhile. If you see them in this fight, eliminate them."

Akechi seemed shocked at first, but nodded saying, "It shall be done."


Portal Vortex - Halberd
April 14th, 2020 (4:05 PM)

Along the way through the vortex across the night they had picked up many more passengers and ships from across the worlds. Any ships that were in the Halberd had now left and were flying alongside it. Along with the Titan Warships was now Starship Mario, ships from Alcamoth on the Bionis, Sheldon's truck, the wolfen, along with some other vehicles.

Currently in the docking bay of the Halberd though was the Lightning Chariot, which Phosphora made sure they had picked up in Skyworld. Since there was no doubt Pit or Dark Pit could use it to even the odds of the fight. Looking at the chariot in awe right now was Popo. "I've only ever seen this thing in Pit's final smash. It looks pretty cool in person."

"Be careful! We don't want you getting electrocuted before the right," Phosphora warned as Popo was close to touching a wheel.

The two were eventually interrupted by a bunch of animal cries coming from close to the Chariot. "Can you please get those stupid birds to shut up," Ghirahim shouted at the one looking over said birds.

"I'm not a chocobo miracle worker alright! Probably can't take being in a confined space for much longer," said the man looking over them. He had dark skin, sunglasses, and a machine gun for a hand. "Maybe you would like to try calming them down."

"Gladly," Ghirahim said with a smirk. He then began walking towards the birds while unsheathing his sword. Said sword was promptly snatched from him from someone else in block clothes and a headband, with a bunch of orbs Cloud called materia attached. "Hey give that."

"Oh no! You're not killing the Chocobos, I mean whatever did they do to you," said the new person. Ghirahim had to guess she was a ninja of some sort.

"They opened their beaks, that's what they did," Ghirahim shouted.

"What's going on here," said another person walking in. He had silver hair, a black vest with a checkered pattern on the ends. Under the vest was a grey shirt, he was also wearing jeans. "The waddle dee told me the chocobos were acting up and sent me down."

"Well Riku if you must know this guy over he was seconds away from killing them," said the ninja, pointing right at the guilty party.

It was in fact Riku, one of Sora's friends and a keyblade master. Riku crossed his arms before sternly saying, "Ghirahim, no killing the chocobos. Yuffie, give him the sword back." Yuffie reluctantly handed the sword back and Ghirihim walked back over to where he was before. Riku then turned to face the man with the machine gun for a hand. "Let me help you out with calming them down Barret."

"Thanks Riku," Barret said. It took awhile but the two were eventually able to get the chocobos to calm down but they eventually stopped squawking. "Don't know why Sam said he couldn't come. These are basically his chocobos."

"Well it's good to know he trusts you enough to make sure none of them get hurt," Riku said.

"Oh turns out he trusts us more than that. We told him we couldn't promise all of them would come back unscathed. Or alive," Yuffie said.

"Let's just be glad he gave us the damn birds to begin with," Barret said. "These guys can be pretty quick. Could help with getting from and to certain places of the coming fight. If it truly is going to be that big.

"Everyone this is Marth speaking," said the hero-king through the intercom system. "We are about to pass through the animation barrier. We suggest you grab onto something."

Not only a minute later did it feel like the ship was being hurled at lightspeed. By the time it had finished most were on the floor except for Phosphora, who had levitated. "Hmm, 3D. An interesting change," Phosphora said, inspecting herself.

The alarm in the ship then blared. "All passengers get into battle stations we will arrive in Seattle in ten minutes," Captain Vul said over the intercom. Barret and Yuffie nodded to each other and began preparing the chocobo. Ghirahim simply stood up while Phosphora hopped into the lightning chariot. Popo ran off to go find Nana.


Earth Portal Vortex
(Mario's Group)

Everyone was now in the bridge of the Lor Starcutter in full gear. "Okay everyone this is-a it," Mario said addressing everyone."


Road to Seattle
(Master Hand's Group)

"Everything we've ever gone through has led up to this moment," Master Hand said addressing his group. Joker was once again at the wheel and it was now in the afternoon. They were just outside of Seattle.


Earth Portal Vortex
(Marth's group)

"The moment where we finally end this madness at its core," Marth said through the intercoms of the Halberd.

"Hades may-a have an army to-a help him."

"He may still have Akechi in his grasp. And it may be impossible to get him back."

"He may be risking the fabric of time with having the older Miss Skye there. But he is not invincible."

"He is-a not someone which we-a can hardly do any harm-a to."

"He's been defeated once before. He can be defeated again."

"This is our finest hour of truth and glory. We must not lose hope."


"It is-a time we finish this-a," Mario said. A notice on the control board of the Starcutter informed them they were approaching the exit portal. The Lor Starcutter went full throttle.

(3:00 PM)

"Once and-a for all!"


A thundering noise could be heard from above. Those in the van looked out the front to see what looked like a portal beginning to open. "Full throttle Joker! It's time to end this!" The phantom thief nodded and pressed his foot further down on the pedal. Master Hand snapped his fingers which caused the other phantom thieves to suddenly have their metaverse gear.

(3:30 PM)

"Once and for all."


"We've gotten the numbers to end this," Marth said. A static could then be strangely heard. "What's going on."

"We're picking up on a frequency in Seattle," Vul said.

Marth looked on with determination. The exit portal was close. "Everyone prepare yourselves. It's time we take our stand."

(4:15 PM)

"Once and for all!"

The Halberd and other ships accompanying it sped forwards for the portal exit.

Author's note: Now then as I said in the first author's note here are my reasons for removing these few from residency effective Season 6.

Dixie Kong: Not only have I forgotten she was there. She has hardly made any appearances since her inclusion.

Empoleon: Due to Incineroar now knowing the error of his ways, Empoleon has no reason to continue staying at the mansion. And no plot to be a part of on top of that.

Ethan: Same as Dixie Kong.

Caeda: Someone still needs to watch Altea, and it can't really function without both it's king or queen. Since Marth is still going to be at the mansion Caeda needs to go back for a more permanent period of time.

Proto Man: Sadly, I don't have much to do with him plot wise. He practically contributes nothing. I will be keeping X though due to certain plans of mine.

And as always all temporaries in this season will be removed following the end of the movie. The final part of the movie is next.

(1) I'm avoiding Xenoblade Chronicles 2 spoilers unless I have to spoil it for sake of the story.
(2) my go-to weapon for this guy in this series in the episodes where he had to fight.
(3) Since it's been awhile since we've seen them and I have more experience now, I reworked personalities for Agents 3, and 8. 4 and 9 are generally the same.
(4) Characters making debuts in this chapter. Morag, Brighid, Mythra, Mechanica, Riku, and Barret.
