Thought I'd never get back to this, huh? ;)

Nothing to the story. Just thought I'd make a fun little skit because Galeem was a major part in Sephiroth's reveal trailer. So I'm gonna remake Sephiroth's reveal, but add some of the Agents onto the scene.

Hope ya enjoy this little skit! :p

Backwards message of the chapter: .riapsed fo tohs tsal enO


The Smash universe was in the middle of a crisis at the moment. Solid ground that anyone can stand one seemed more rough with the big threat that was in front of them at the moment.

Ever since... he first came into the mix, the world was in danger. And despite the amount of spirits being saved and fighters no longer under control to fight against the good guys... the power that was here was beyond irredeemable.

"HUAH!" A loud grunt is heard as a powerful shock wave pushes a bunch of fighters back. Hero, Samus Aran, and Richter Belmont fell to the floor after their reckless attack. A bright shine of light could also be seen.

Meanwhile, Flint and Mia were pushed back by the same force, joining with the rest of the fighters nearby, such as Shulk, Rosalina, Bowser Jr, and Mario. There were a lot more fighters scattered about, weakened.

Mewtwo and Zelda look up at their pinpoint threat that has beckoned to kill them right where they stand. The rest of the Agents, along with a ton of other Smash fighters, looked up at the sky.

"Grah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

And there, with his bellowing evil laugh, was Galeem. His endless clones of Master Hand stood by to guard him, gleaming within the yellow cracks mixed in with the sky. But with how weak the fighters and Agents were, that proved to be useless for them.

The Lord of Light crosses his wings like arms as he watches the weakened fighters with amusement.

"Yet you still stand? You really are petty enough to get rid of me." Galeem taunted. Pit grunts as he holds onto his swords to stand on his knees. He glares at Galeem, trying to find a threat right back at him.

"He... He's way too strong..." Chany whimpered. By her side was a severely injured Caleb. The pink Inkling keeps her Octoling friend close by, allowing him to rest his head on her lap.

"Time for this to end! You all will bow down to me and serve me as puppet fighters for all eternity!" Galeem shouted. Everyone could only stare as the Lord of Light began to take in endless amounts of energy from the world.

The Agents braced themselves for the worst. Their end was coming shorter than they anticipated.

"Say goodbye to your lives! Your spirits are ALL MI- guh!" Galeem started, only top stop taking in energy when something slashed right against him.

Sonic the hedgehog, an orange Inkling girl, and Banjo and Kazooie stared at the impact with shocked expressions.

Redd and Mia also saw this, not knowing how to react. Sonic was frozen stiff.

"Uh... what?" Mia uttered.

"What in the world just happened?" Redd exclaimed. Looking back at Galeem, he didn't even respond.

...

Just then, his core turns black as he lets out shaky breaths.

"Why... y-you..." He uttered. Before he could speak again or perform another action...

BOOM!

Galeem gets cut in half. The slash was so strong enough that it wiped Galeem off the face of the Earth. All the Master Hand clones disappeared as well as the leftover yellow particles left from Galeem and the hand clones scattered about.

*One Winged Angel begins to play*

Out in the far distance, another figure could be seen. Though no one could tell who this was. All they did know was that it was tall and more powerful.

No one recognized it, but Cloud saw this immediately and knew who it was. He gasped, then narrows his eyebrows as he glares at the figure from far away.

"Sephiroth..." He growled. Looking to where the figure was, there he stood. Cloud's archnemesis, Sephiroth, was floating far away with an evil smirk on his face.

His long, gray hair flowed through the wind, and so was the end of his trench coat as it tries to withstand through the armor. And Sephiroth's long katana, Masamune, was held tightly in one of his hands.

Sephiroth descends into battle!

"Watashi wa kono shunkan o matte imashita. (I have been waiting for this moment.)" Sephiroth chuckled. He puts his right hand up in the air, as the sky turns dark and swirls around to create a threatening atmosphere.

"Ima, watashi wa sumasshu zetsubō o ataemasu.(Now, I shall give Smash despair.)" The man continued as the sky finishes changing.

A long, risky battle begins to ensue. With Sephiroth around, he simply showed off all his skills. The long reach of his sword got lots of fighters from far away without a chance to react.

He even uses this sword advantage to cling onto the rock walls and gain an extra boost. The power and range of his sword was phenomenal. And when one fighter could maybe get a sneak attack off him, Sephiroth used a counter and brought it right back to damage them.

Then, Sephiroth snapped his fingers, and a small beam of energy slightly pinched anyone who got close. A bunch of purple orbs surrounded whoever got hit. And within a few seconds, the orbs attack and send those fighters launching.

The Agents had no idea who they were dealing with, but they knew he musn't be good. Sure, he did stop Galeem, but the fact that he was attacking them knew he wasn't good.

Even Cloud tried to give the hint to them.

A bunch of the Smash fighters began to rush down and attack Sephiroth. But the small hits he took merely tickled him. And he backed off far enough to gain some momentum.

He evilly chuckles, and sways his arm to one side, revealing a huge, black wing on his back.

"Awarena. (Pathetic.)" He taunted. To add insult to injury, Sephiroth was, in fact, using a fragment of his power.

The one black wing gave him an immense attack and speed boost. His sword and powerful Octaslash caught a lot of people off guard, ending in Sephiroth getting an upper hand. As if he didn't have one already...

But further down the line, as Sephiroth evilly smirks at the dismay of his weakened opponents, he felt more about to rush in and attack him. But Sephiroth was ready for what's to come.

He unleashed an all-powerful Gigaflare, and made a massive explosion from the end of the attack. Those who rushed in and got caught in it got more injuries, and were knocked back by a ton.

As Sephiroth prepares for the next attack that the Smash fighters have in store, Bayonetta and Greninja charge in with their strong attacks. That proved to be useless, and Sephiroth just pushed them back by retaliating with his own.

The Agents from Inkopolis Square even tried this. led by Sonic, they tried to ink him up and slow him down. But due to the long range of Sephiroth's Masamune, he was easily able to discard them.

Sephiroth then catches a glimpse of Mario from far away. He runs to him at rapid speed thanks to the help of his one wing. Mario saw the one winged angel about to attack, but was too slow to respond.

SLASH!

Mario flailed as Sephiroth raises him slowly. The long katana was holding Mario at bay, as if he has been impaled, and was about to live his last life.

...

But Mario slowly opens his eyes to find out that he has not been impaled. Rather, the sword was carrying Mario by one of the sleeves of his overalls. He let out a noise of confusion, but also surprise.

Cloud lets out a battle cry as he prepared to attack his archenemy. However, Sephiroth quickly countered back, letting go of Mario to launch him back and get right back at Cloud.

Now the battle was just between Sephiroth and Cloud. They clashed with their signature swords, Sephiroth smirking as he saw Cloud's anguished look to try and gain the upper hand.

As more time gets consumed during this battle, Cloud's limit finally reaches to the top. A blue glow shines within in, and he finally manages to catch Sephiroth out of the blue and launch him upwards.

Cloud then unleashes Omnislash Ver. 5. With enough of that powerful attack, he uses all his strength to weaken Sephiroth to the max. Those who were still able to fight watched with amazement and surprise.

The mini swords from Cloud's special attack land on the floor, with the user following shortly after. He holds his signature Buster Sword, while Sephiroth lands behind him, with his back turned. He was unscathed by the outcome of the Omnislash. But he did stumble as he kneels on one knee.

Cloud points his sword at his archnemesis.

"Anata ga zokushite iru basho ni todomari nasai... Watashi no kioku no naka de. (Stay where you belong... in my memories.)" The former commanded. The latter looks back and glares.

"Watashi wa kesshite... Omoide ni wa narimasen. (I will never be... a memory.)" Sephiroth retorted. He wrapped the one black wing around himself as a large rainbow glow began to shine throughout.

He then transforms into his more powerful form, Safer Sephiroth, as Cloud watches from above. The screen turns white as nothing happens since then.

...
