Before anyone gets confused, I accidentally named the previous chapter Part XIX. This is the actual part XIX, the last one was XVIII, just to clear up any confusion over the chapter names.

BornToDream03: That'd be if Mario was in PUBG

Zhenxuan20002: Glad to know!

14shiffna: I actually forgot the Link has the Triforce of Courage. Especially since the Triforce plays such a big part in the story later on, but that's as far as I can go without stepping into spoiler territory.

Ryder: Glad you like it! I liked Subspace Emissary because it had all the fighters interacting with each other, so I wanted to channel that whole crossover feel in here as well.

The moment Fox hit the grass, he was already moving. He rolled to the side, and a rippling beam of blue energy tore past him. An explosion went off behind him as the beam ripped apart a small stack of crates, and splinters pelted off the back of Fox's jacket.

"Ah ha ha! How do you like the taste of the Blaze-o-Matic?" Krusha said, clutching a large cannon with a long pole and a brass ring at the end.

Fox looked up across the field, growling. At the mouth of the cave, Krusha laughed.

From above, Fox heard Mario yell, "Here we go!" By the way Krusha's gaze snapped up, he heard it too.

A toothy grin split his face, and he pointed the Blaze-o-Matic to the sky. The cannon gave a low growl. The pole at the end sparked with energy, aimed right at the falling forms of Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, and Yoshi.

"Look out!" Fox said, jumping to his feet.

With a loud clap, a beam of destructive energy shot forth toward them. Link had the mirror shield out in an instant, and the beam flew right back to the ground. The impact threw dirt into the air, leaving a deep scar on the ground.

"Watch it, will you?" Wario snarled, stepping out from behind a stack of crates. He slapped a button on the side of the Blaze-o-Matic, and it cut off with a sputter.

Taking the momentary distraction, Fox whipped his blaster out of its holster. He fired three shots down the clearing at the Blaze-o-Matic in Krusha's hands. Wario stepped in front of it, and he absorbed the shots with his arm.

"It's not going to be that easy," he said. Wario snapped his fingers, and in an instant, Fox found himself surrounded by the other villains; Waluigi, Phantom Ganondorf, and a uniformed man and woman he didn't recognize. Fox grit his teeth. His grip on his blaster tightened, and he fell into a fighting stance. Absentmindedly, his other hand fell to his reflector.

The strange man moved first, hurling a tiny red object into the air. A flash of light emerged from the object, and when it faded, a creature with two round heads attached by a stem appeared.

"Weezing!" the man said. "Use Smokescreen!"

The creature, the Pokemon Wheezing, gave a raspy groan, and a dark cloud poured out from the pores dotting its heads. Fox braced his face with his arm as smoke washed over him, and the force of the sudden gust of air dragged him back.

Not this again, he hissed internally.

"Donkey Kong!" he yelled over the smoke. "You know what to do!"

Somewhere in the smoke, he heard the ape roar. The ground heaved. A mighty clap shook the air, and it swept the dark clouds away with a rush of wind. Fox stumbled forward as the smoke blew past him. Very quickly, the dark clouds gave away to the clearing, and Fox found himself looking at a group of very surprised villains.

He whirled around to face the others. Donkey Kong had his hands held together from blowing away the smoke. Mario had a yellow feather pinched between his fingers. Link stood over him, an arrow already nocked on his bow. Yoshi just had his fists held on guard in front of him. They all looked eager for a fight.

The villains recovered quickly, falling into fighting stances as well. The woman threw another red and white ball into the air, and a purple cobra materialized on the field.

Fox gave his teammates a quick glance over his shoulder, and a grin spread over his lips.

"Take them down!" he shouted, flicking his blaster towards the villains.

He leaped forward, and he clenched his fists. The air around him ignited. He lunged for Wario at the head of the group. Wario wound up a punch in response.

Then a giant burst of blue energy came down from the sky, breaking apart the clearing between them. The attack missed hitting Fox by a hair, singing one of his whiskers. He came to a halt, and a burst of laser fire ran past him.

Fox looked to the sky, just in time to catch Wolf's ship soar overhead.

"What's the matter? Can't keep up?"

Samus growled, and she tuned out Wolf's taunting words over the commlink.

She'd have to see how he managed to get into it later; right now, it didn't matter.

With a grunt, she twisted the ship's controls to the side. The engines groaned in protest, but they forced the ship to turn after a moment.

The view outside her window changed from the treetops to the sky, then back to the treetops again. She heard the faint sound of laser fire rush past her, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of red zip by.

Her eyes glanced at the monitor beside her. An angry red dot blinked at her from behind her position.

A sigh escaped from the vents on her helmet. Again, she tried to serve her ship around. A familiar ship tinged with pink finally came into view. Samus gave a satisfied grunt. Her fingers tightened on the triggers on the ship's controls.

The ship rumbled, and a crack split the atmosphere as the ship's Zero Laser streaked toward the enemy ship, pulsing with destructive energy.

Wolf's ship spun to the side, and the Zero Laser carved a path in the ground instead. Samus's eye twitched.

She turned her ship after Wolf and fired again. This time, a small red object popped out. The laser engulfed it in an instant, but the red object went off in a giant explosion, temporarily obstructing her sight.

Before she could react, Wolf's ship burst out from the smoke. He fired, and his bullets pinged off the side of her ship.

"You'll have to be smarter than that!" Wolf's voice crackled over the commlink.

She glanced at the monitor above displaying her ship's energy levels and scowled. The attack had only nicked them, but her ship had started off with a low energy reserve. She couldn't keep this up.

She spun her ship around, trying to keep up with Wolf. She fired again. Wolf danced out of the way, and her attack scorched the ground.

Another bomb dropped out of Wolf's ship. Samus swerved to avoid it, but Wolf detonated it beside her. The ship rattled with the impact, and as Samus glanced out the windshield, a piece of the hull fell away.

That's not good.

Another round of fire pelted the hull. It traced up the side of the ship, ending with a small explosion. The ship shuddered, and smoke began to come from somewhere off to the side.

"Ouch, that must have hurt," Wolf said. Though she couldn't see his face, Samus could imagine the sneer on his face.

"Shut up," she muttered under her breath.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I bruise your ego?" Wolf replied.

Samus spun the ship around and fired in reply. This time she singed his wingtips, but he rolled away before she could do any more damage.

Wolf pulled up into the sky, his engines roaring. Samus tried to follow him, but the ship's engines groaned at the effort. One of the wings sputtered, and bright orange sparks spurted out. Samus's eyes strayed over to the smoldering wing for a second too long. She turned her attention back in front of her just in time to see a bomb outside her windshield.

Samus twisted the controls as far to the right as they could go. A loud explosion scraped against the other side of her ship. Overhead, she saw her ship's energy reserves tank. A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead. Blinking it away, Samus quickly pressed a button on the side of her helmet, and the power suit's fans kicked in with a roar.

A flash of grey streaked into her view. Wolf's ship slid into the airspace in front of her, weaving and bobbing. He was teasing her, staying within her sight, flying up and down in a completely unpredictable manner.

"You'd like to get me for that, wouldn't you?" Wolf said, and he gave a barking laugh.

Samus responded the only way she could: by heating up the air with a huge burst of energy.

Like it had done many times before, the Zero Laser scorched the side of Wolf's ship, sparks leaping off the writhing laser beam as he pulled away. The Zero Laser kept going, however, and raced towards a pile of crates on the ground.

The wooden containers went up in a massive blossom of burning shrapnel. Even from inside her ship, Samus could feel the heat wash over her as the explosion reached for the sky. She swerved away at the last second, and the sky loomed out her windshield once more. As she relaxed the grip on her controls, relieved, her commlink buzzed.

"Watch where you're shooting!" Fox said, his voice barely audible over the chaotic sounds of battle behind him.

"Sorry," Samus replied.

Something flickered out of the corner of Samus's view. Her hands were on the controls again in an instant, and her ship's engines screamed to life as she forced them to continue the pursuit.

Link's arm was starting to get sore. Over and over, his shield rung out, the only thing between him and a hail of endless projectiles.

Link chanced a peek over his shield at his attacker: Waluigi. The wiry man continued to pelt him with tennis balls with each crack of his racket. It shouldn't have been any trouble, but the speed behind it kept Link from getting any closer.

Link frowned. As the balls continued to slam against his shield, he reached into his pocket. His fingers grasped a solid wooden object. In a single motion, he pulled it out of the bag and flung it at Waluigi.

The man scowled, and he ducked under the wooden boomerang. It hurled through the air, skimming over Waluigi's purple cap, before it flew right back into Link's waiting hand. Swiftly drawing his sword, Link charged at Waluigi.

"Weezing! Sludge bomb!"

A glob of sludge arched through the air, a trail of toxic fumes not far behind. Link's eyes widened. He leaped away, and the sludge bomb plopped on the spot he had been moments before. As he was in the air, he caught a flash of blue out of the corner of his eye. A deep rumble was his only warning.

Fox jumped in front of him before the beam could hit him. His reflector deployed with a ping, and the Blast-o-Matic tore into the tree line over their heads. At the other end, Krusha snarled at them. His gaze didn't stay on them for long, and he turned to the side to catch a red role coming for his face.

Yoshi squeaked. Krusha threw him to the ground, and dust flew up into the air. He lunged to forward. A passing Mario pulled Yoshi away before he could follow up. The Kremling bared his teeth, but Phantom Ganon stepped between them before he could give chase.

Mario leaped away. Phantom Ganon's sword came crashing down on the grass, but his glowing yellow eyes never left the plumber. He swung upward. Mario billowed his cape, and the breeze blew him further away, before he and Yoshi landed right beside Fox.

"They've got us pinned down," Mario said between breaths. "We can't do nothin' in this kind of weather."

"You're telling me," Fox said over his shoulder, and another wad of sludge bounced off his reflector.

Behind him, Link drew another arrow to his bow, when he noticed a giant blue laser sweep towards them.

"Look out!" he said, and everyone turned to look.

The Zero Laser cut a deep gash into the clearing, and dirt flew to the wind behind everyone as they all dove away from the blast. Fox rolled to his feet the moment he hit the ground, and his hand flew to his earpiece.

"Watch where you're shooting!" he said.

All he got in return was a muttered "Sorry."

Fox frowned. Something thudded behind him, and his blaster whipped around. Donkey Kong stumbled past, the purple cobra wrapped around his arm.

The snake pulled his arm into punching his face. Donkey Kong stepped back, dazed from the blow. The snake only hissed, and it reared his arm back for a second strike.

Fox stepped in before it could, and he slammed his reflector into it. A shock traveled up the snake, and it finally let go. It flopped on the ground for a bit. Then it turned back and hissed at them, and it disappeared into the grass. Donkey Kong stepped forward, intent on chasing it down. A heavy strike to his side drove the wind out of him. He fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, and the towering shadow of Phantom Ganon loomed over him.

Fox aimed his blaster at Phantom Ganon's back. Before he could pull the trigger, a gloved fist knocked it out of his hand. He turned to face the new threat, only for a tennis ball to nail him from behind.

Fox stumbled away, turning as he put some distance between his attackers. Wario and Waluigi sneered back.

"I'm sorry, but we can't let you leave just yet," Wario said, and he pulled two bombs out of his pockets.

Fox flicked his thumb against his blaster. "Try and stop me," he said.

Wario just cackled, and he lit the bombs and hurled them at Fox. He tracked them as they spun through the air, their fuses sparking. His blaster snapped onto them, and he fired twice. The bombs went up in a fiery blast. Something moved from behind the flames, and Fox barely had time to react when Wario came hurtling through the smoke.

A flash of blue cut of the pudgy yellow man mid-air. Wario tumbled away, and a stack of crates toppled over him.

Fox lowered his blaster. A deep blue cape fluttered before him, billowing in the wind like a sail. As the newcomer turned, the sun glinted off his mask, and two glowing yellow eyes bore into his gaze.

Meta Knight had arrived.

And so it all comes together now.

I'll admit, I'm not the best at writing team fights, especially since they have a certain flow that I haven't quite put down yet, so I hope I've done this justice.

Life's been kicking my arse for the week, and I've suddenly found myself with a lot less time on my hands. As a result, I'll have to move the update day to Wednesday. I hope you won't mind, but it'll give me more time to go over my work, so hopefully, the stuff I put up here will be a lot better.

Next chapter will be out on the 27th.
