PORTAL DIMENSION
A darkrealm starship flies through a portal
CAPTAIN FALCON
The universe, the next step in our journey, the tales of eight different beings wandering the stars, our goal is to liberate those planets under the attack of the unknown enemy, to get those people to fight for a cause and to undo the horrors of...
PIT
Captain?
STARSHIP - BRIDGE
CAPTAIN FALCON turns to PIT and the rest of the team (FOX, FALCO, MEWTWO, OLIMAR, JIGGLYPUFF and R.O.B) who look at him confused
PIT
Who were you talking to?
CAPTAIN FALCON
Nobody just thinking out loud is all
FOX
Anyways, Falco how far we from our next destination?
FALCO
ETA two minutes
FOX
How are things looking over there?
FALCO
The people are still fighting, they are pretty technology advanced so they are holding their own but we need to make sure they win.
OLIMAR
Oh dear I hope the fighting is not too intense
FOX
We just have to prepared for whatever happens
CAPTAIN FALCON is deep in thought, PIT then talks with him
PIT
Hey Captain, what are you thinking about?
CAPTAIN FALCON
These things, they just pop up out of nowhere, they seem endless, but... nothing in this life is infinite, the are limits, how much food there is, how much water, how much people. These things have to have a limit, there has to be a point where they won't keep overwhelming people. I just don't know what that limit is.
PIT
Whatever that limit is we'll push them to it, I don't know how we'll win but... I just know that we can and we will.
CAPTAIN FALCON smirks
CAPTAIN FALCON
Alright, I believe we're going to win too.
FALCO
Approaching the planet
The starship exits from a portal above a city planet
FOX
Alright we got here just in time let's descend to the surface and...
FALCO
Whoa Fox, I'm picking up three big signatures right now
Everyone looks to see three dark realm starships arrive above the planet and their expressions convey "Oh this is not good"
CAPTAIN FALCON
Kid I might have to downgrade my going to win to might win.
PIT just gulps
8
NO MORE HIDING/LIBERATION
DARK REALM - BASE
A large base beneath a portal in the dark realm holds many soldiers getting ready to be moved through the portal. From atop a hill stands the heroes in disguise (MARTH, SHULK, CORRIN, SIMON, RICHTER, BAYONETTA, LUCARIO and DIDDY KONG) planning their next move
MARTH
Alright so we need to get to one of the ships, quietly, it wouldn't be great if we walked straight in the middle of their base and they swarm us. As for our weapons carry them like they are confiscated, hopefully they won't think too much on it.
RICHTER
Right cause we're just gonna walk straight in the middle of their base and we're just get on a ship and magically fly us home without them noticing something's up
SHULK
You know some positive energy wouldn't hurt you know
CORRIN
How are we supposed to fly one of those things?
BAYONETTA
We won't, we'll get on one and wherever it lands we'll go from there
SIMON
Not exactly the most sound plan
BAYONETTA
Well darling I don't think any of us are masters of navigating through dimensions, hopefully wherever we go next is better than this infernal place
CORRIN
Here's hoping
MARTH turns to LUCARIO and DIDDY KONG
MARTH
Now you two need to act like our prisoners, just for a little bit, wherever we end up, we'll make our move to take down these guys. Are you two going to be okay?
LUCARIO
For the most part I will, Diddy is still very nervous
MARTH kneels down
MARTH
Look I know this is insane, what we're about to do is terrifying, but you're strong my friend, you just have to believe in that strength and it will get us through this.
RICHTER
Did you just go to school for giving motivational speeches or something?
SHULK
It's called being a leader my friend, traits hopefully you can learn.
MARTH looks at everyone
MARTH
No turning back, everyone ready?
Everyone nods, MARTH takes a deep breath
MARTH
Walk carefully and orderly
MARTH leads the rest of the heroes down the hill towards the base.
The heroes are walking through the heart of the dark realm base moving like the dark realm soldiers. DIDDY KONG is nervous but does his best to keep his cool while LUCARIO looks around hoping no one is on to them. The heroes then get stopped by a soldier, everyone is still and extremely tense, the soldier points to a ship and gestures for them to move, MARTH nods and guides his friends to the ship.
SMALL STARSHIP
Once on the ship another soldier takes DIDDY KONG and LUCARIO and takes them to a cell on the ship, DIDDY KONG looks at MARTH concerned, MARTH nods to let DIDDY KONG know that things will be okay. DIDDY KONG and LUCARIO are put in two separate cells, and the soldier activates a barrier on the cells which won't allow the two to escape, while the rest of the heroes sit, the ship then has about seven soldiers board with the heroes and also take seats next to them.
The ship then takes off and flies into the portal, the ship is rocking around in the portal and the soldiers do not flinch when the ship rocks around however the heroes are doing their best not to show their discomfort, CORRIN is tense and seems to be drawing attention to her however SHULK grabs CORRIN's hand and the two tightly hold each others hand, unfortunately another soldier sees this and quietly stands and moves to the cockpit and stands at guard of the pilots which tips off the other soldiers that something is not right.
SHULK then gets a vision of his friends being caught off guards by the soldiers. After the vision SHULK signals to MARTH that their cover is blown, MARTH then signals to SIMON that they have to be ready to fight, the air is palpable as everyone wonders who will make the first move, BAYONETTA cracks her neck and takes a deep breath, she kicks one of the soldiers next to her and draws her guns and shoots another soldier, MARTH duels with the soldier guarding the pilots, SIMON whips down a soldier while RICHTER rushes to the cells to release LUCARIO and DIDDY KONG. SHULK and CORRIN duel two soldiers back to back, before RICHTER can let LUCARIO and DIDDY KONG out he is grabbed and put in a chokehold by one of the soldiers, RICHTER then jumps backward and slams the soldier into the ground, RICHTER is slow to get up, so is the soldier but he releases the two and DIDDY KONG immediately kicks the soldier down.
LUCARIO then uses his aura blast to knock down the soldier SIMON is fighting. MARTH then strikes down the soldier protecting the pilots, however one of the pilots pulls out a laser pistol and almost shoots MARTH but he manages to dodge it, SIMON then uses the vampire killer to knock out the pilot who discharges a blast from the laser pistol that takes out the copilot and ricochets in the ship before blasting out the controls window which causes the ship to spiral out of control, everyone inside holds on as the ship spirals out of the portal realm. Inside everyone braces as the ship crashes.
Sometime has passed, MARTH is coming to and sees CORRIN and SHULK slowly getting up MARTH takes off the dark realm armor and slowly stands in the ship calling out to his friends
MARTH
Corrin, Shulk
CORRIN
Marth, are you okay?
MARTH
My head hurts but I'll be okay, where's everyone else?
Emerging from some parts of the ship are DIDDY KONG and LUCARIO
LUCARIO
We're here, somehow
RICHTER, SIMON and BAYONETTA then get up
SIMON
What in the world did we crash into?
RICHTER
Where in the world did we crash into?
BAYONETTA
I don't know if that was intentional or not... But no... just no.
MARTH then looks out the cockpit window and his expression reads "this can't be real". The rest of the heroes then look out the window to see nothing but blackness, it seems that the world outside is just a void
CORRIN
Are we... Where are we?
SHULK
Well I didn't think I'd say this but this place is probably worse than the last place we were at.
SIMON
So we're stuck again, can this get worse
Lightning cracks and rain starts pouring down
BAYONETTA
Darling you have to learn not to say things like that
MARTH starts squinting his eyes wondering if someone is standing out in the distance there, lightning strikes revealing ERAGUS waiting for the heroes. After a second lightning strike the rest of the heroes then see him
RICHTER
You guys see that guy out there right?
SHULK
I don't like this, I really feel like this is bad.
LUCARIO is shaking, MARTH takes note of this
MARTH
Lucario what's wrong?
LUCARIO
That energy, it is so powerful, it's... overwhelming, that aura is not like anything I've ever seen before
RICHTER
So we crashed onto another horrible place
SIMON
Right
RICHTER
Now there's some crazy powerful guy out there just waiting for us
BAYONETTA
That what it looks like
RICHTER
And yet we're gonna go out there and confront him?
CORRIN/SHULK
... I guess so
RICHTER sighs and takes a moment to collect himself
RICHTER
I guess we're not gonna get anywhere just standing here. Marth, we go on your word
MARTH takes a deep breath
REALM OF ETERNITY
The heroes walk side by side in the pouring rain towards ERAGUS, as they get close to him they hear him clapping, the heroes stop about ten feet away from him as he continues to clap
ERAGUS
I'm glad you made it, welcome to my prison
CITY PLANET
Four darkrealm starships descend down to the planet surface, three starships break through the clouds to see all out war is happening with the planets inhabitants just having brought down a starship
On one of the starships is WOLF, DARK SAMUS and RIDLEY looking down at the battle below
DARK SAMUS
Where are the others, why aren't they here?
WOLF
Some of them needed to keep an eye on our royal guests, while the rest went to another location that might have something of value
DARK SAMUS
Something of value? He never tells what he wants, he just says its that of value, he calls us partners but its clearer and clearer that we're subordinates
WOLF
Be that as it may, we agreed to do this, and all we have to do is get him what he wants and then we'll have what we want.
RIDLEY growls
DARK SAMUS
Don't be so sure about that
WOLF then commands the three starships
WOLF
Open fire
The starships point their weapons down to the planet surface and charge their weapons but the ships are riddled with blasts
WOLF, DARK SAMUS and RIDLEY are thrown back by an explosion, WOLF slowly gets up
WOLF
What is happening what is shooting us?
FOX (COMMS)
Bad news Wolf, you forgot important rule always keep your eyes open
WOLF growls in anger
WOLF
StarFox! Scramble the fighters, destroy them. Get the troops down to the surface, we won't lose here.
Small attack fighters and transport ships fly out of the starships. The attack fighters head for the Hero controlled starship when they are shot down from FOX and FALCO's Arwings, heading down to the planet surface is OLIMAR's ship and CAPTAIN FALCON's Blue Falcon. FOX and FALCO pick off the attack fighters one by one
Down on the planet surface the inhabitants fight back with similar laser weapons holding off the attacks, more dark realm soldiers land on the ground and open fire on the inhabitants, one of the inhabitants is wearing a cloak covering their face and leading the people against the dark realm forces, the mysterious person jumps over a dark realm soldier and kicks him in the back before kneeing another soldier in the stomach and elbowing a soldier behind them. The mysterious person does get knocked down when a small explosion goes off, the mysterious person is dazed and starts to come to seeing a soldier ready to attack them but the soldier is shot with an arrow, the mysterious person turns to see PIT who then helps the person up
PIT
Are you okay?
The person does not respond stunned to see PIT, before the moment can get more awkward a soldier tries to attack the two but they dodge the attack and PIT knocks down the soldier with his orbitars. The two then lead the charge against the other dark realm soldiers.
A group of resistance fighters get cornered by dark realm soldiers but are saved when the Blue Falcon plows through them, the Blue Falcon continues through the battlefield but is hit by a blast that flips it upside down, standing in the distance is DARK SAMUS. DARK SAMUS approaches the Blue Falcon and rips the door off to reveal no one inside, from behind CAPTAIN FALCON slams DARK SAMUS' head against the Blue Falcon and kicks her in the chest sending her back a few feet, DARK SAMUS slowly gets up and CAPTAIN FALCON taunts her
CAPTAIN FALCON
C'mon
DARK SAMUS charges at CAPTAIN FALCON and the two fight.
OLIMAR's ship lands by some resistance fighters who are injured, OLIMAR and some Pikmin exit the ship to help the people but
RIDLEY drops right in front of him and lets out a vicious roar, OLIMAR jumps in terror but MEWTWO moves in front of OLIMAR
MEWTWO
Worried about the wounded, I'll deal with this
RIDLEY fires its plasma breath while MEWTWO shields itself, OLIMAR then rushes to the injured but is stopped by a four dark realm soldiers, they go to strike OLIMAR but a few winged Pikmin fly him away from danger, OLIMAR drops onto one of the soldiers heads knocking him out, he then tries run away from them but another soldier tries to slash him but OLIMAR throws a Pikmin at the soldier and knocks him down, OLIMAR continues towards the wounded but is grabbed by the last two soldiers but OLIMAR is able to slip out of their grasp and the Pikmin attack the soldiers bringing them down, OLIMAR makes it to the injured people
OLIMAR
Umm... Hello umm... Let's get you on my ship and away from the fighting
RIDLEY tries to slash MEWTWO but the Pokemon dodges the strike and strikes RIDLEY with a blast but it doesn't hurt him too much, RIDLEY then tail whips MEWTWO who flies into a tree. RIDLEY then jumps atop MEWTWO and slashes him a few times before RIDLEY seemingly freezes, MEWTWO entraps RIDLEY in a barrier and throws RIDLEY into one of the starships in the sky, MEWTWO then slumps over in pain
FOX and FALCO have taken out most of the starfighters in the sky
FOX
Alright it looks like we got most of them we should...
FALCO
Fox break right!
FOX and FALCO's Arwing dodge incoming blasts
WOLF (COMMS)
If you want something done, I guess you have to do it yourself
FOX and FALCO see WOLF's Arwing and a few starfighters with him
FALCO
Well it's about time he showed up
FOX
Falco draw the other fighters away, I'll take care of Wolf
FALCO
On it.
FALCO dives straight down and the starfighters give chase
WOLF
Well well it's you and me, how I always like it
FOX
And this will end like it always do Wolf, with you losing
WOLF
Let's see about that hero.
FOX flies up with WOLF right on his tail, WOLF fires an array of laser blasts at FOX which he dodges, FOX then flies straight down back into the clouds where WOLF follows however he loses sight of FOX, he then gets an alert about an incoming projectile, WOLF tries to dodge it but his fighter gets hit and left wing explodes, WOLF is able to keep the fighter steady enough to crash atop one of the starfighters. WOLF slowly comes to and sees FOX standing on the starship waiting for WOLF. WOLF exits his fighter and stumbles towards FOX
FOX
This is my final warning to you, stop these attacks and turn yourself in.
WOLF laughs
WOLF
You think all of this is my doing, there are powers at play greater than anything you could comprehend
FOX
What powers? Tell me who's doing this
WOLF looks as if he's going to fall unconscious which lowers FOX's guard but WOLF quickly draws his blaster but FOX is able to dodge the incoming fire and gets near WOLF and kicks the blaster out of his hand, WOLF strikes at FOX but he blocks the hits, FOX is able to kick WOLF back and tries to flurry kick him but WOLF is able to block most of the kicks, WOLF then strikes FOX across the face and pounces on him and looks to slash him but WOLF is kicked in the face and stumbles back to see FALCO standing next to FOX
WOLF
I won't matter, I'll take you both down and when I'm done I'll...
FALCO
Just shut up and fight
WOLF then charges at the two
On the ground PIT is fighting alongside the mysterious person, taking down soldier after soldier along side the resistance fighters. PIT sees a crowd of soldiers charging their position and looks to fire an arrow at them but the mysterious person then looks to be charging themselves and electricity sparks come off them, the mysterious person then fires a large electric blast that takes down the soldiers, PIT is just astounded by what he just saw
CAPTAIN FALCON is dodging DARK SAMUS' strikes and landing blow after blow, DARK SAMUS snaps and fires a blast at CAPTAIN FALCON and then strikes him with her cannon which sends him down to the ground. CAPTAIN FALCON writhes in pain when DARK SAMUS stands over him aiming her cannon at his head
DARK SAMUS
Any last words?
CAPTAIN FALCON just chuckles
DARK SAMUS
What's so funny?
CAPTAIN FALCON continues to chuckle
DARK SAMUS
What's so funny?!
CAPTAIN FALCON
If you're saying something, I can't hear it.
DARK SAMUS is confused, then JIGGLYPUFF sings which knocks out DARK SAMUS. CAPTAIN FALCON stands and removes ear plugs, he then lifts up DARK SAMUS and gets ready to hit her with a falcon punch
CAPTAIN FALCON
Falcon... Punch!
CAPTAIN FALCON hits DARK SAMUS and sends her flying across the battlefield
CAPTAIN FALCON
Rob tell me you got a good charge in?
R.O.B then comes out of hiding and is focused on the starships above, R.O.B then fires a large laser blast at two of the starships destroying them.
Back atop the starship WOLF is punched by FOX, and kicked by FALCO down on his back. WOLF is struggling to stand
FALCO
It's over Wolf, you lost here, and you'll keep losing
WOLF
Why because you'll be there to stop me?
FOX
If we don't others will. People will know that you can be beaten, you stranglehold on these planets is loosening, and very soon we'll be the one's surprising you at your home.
WOLF then gets a communication on a wrist device, WOLF's face is stunned. FOX and FALCO look confused
WOLF
This isn't over... We are far from done
RIDLEY then drops down in front of FOX and FALCO and slashes at them but they dodge it, RIDLEY chases the two who jump off the starship, RIDLEY then sees the two fly off in their Arwings.
WOLF
We have to retreat
RIDLEY looks bewildered at what WOLF is asking
WOLF
All forces are retreating, Eragus' orders.
RIDLEY is fuming and lets out a screech in anger
On the ground soldiers pick up the unconscious DARK SAMUS and load her onto a small ship and head back to the starship. The starship leaves the atmosphere and opens a portal and disappears. People on the ground celebrate their victory, FOX and FALCO land near the Blue Falcon where all the heroes have converged
CAPTAIN FALCON
That was something else wasn't it?
OLIMAR
We won, I can't believe we won
FALCO
I'm glad you had so much confidence in our ability Olimar
OLIMAR
Oh no... I didn't mean... I just
FALCO
Relax I had some reservations myself, but we won
FOX
The battle yes, but the war still rages on.
PIT
So what happens now?
MYSTERIOUS PERSON
Now I give you my thanks, if wasn't for you all, I don't know what would've happened. But I have to say I was really surprised to see you Pit-stain
PIT looks both confused and offended
CAPTAIN FALCON
A bit of history here huh kid?
The mysterious person takes of their hood and PIT's eyes widen
PIT
Phosphora?!
PHOSPHORA just smiles at PIT
PHOSPHORA
We're both far from home aren't we?
SOMETIME LATER
FOX, FALCO, PIT, CAPTAIN FALCON, OLIMAR and MEWTWO are listening to PHOSPHORA
PHOSPHORA
They attacked us and I fell in a portal and ended up here, these people are very nice and I lived here with them for a few months until those jerks attacked us
PIT
What about Virdi? Do you know what happened to her?
PHOSPHORA
No, and it terrifies me that I don't. If I could I would search for her but I can't exactly do that since I don't really know where I am. But I found some purpose here in helping these people
PIT
Wow it's nice just so surprising to see you care for people, last time I saw you the well-being of others didn't really matter
PHOSPHORA
Well people aren't all that bad I guess
FOX
So what will you do now?
PHOSPHORA
Well we'll rebuild, and get back to full strength, I noticed you guys somehow stole one of their ships, it's a shame you couldn't get us one of those as well
The team looks over to see the ships burning in the distance
OLIMAR
Well maybe you could still get some of the equipment onboard
The ships then explode
PHOSPHORA
I'll let you know what pieces we get
MEWTWO
Will your injured recover?
PHOSPHORA
Did... It.. Just
CAPTAIN FALCON
Talk in your head, yeah it does that.
PHOSPHORA
After sometime they will be fine, in the meantime why don't you join us in our celebration, everyone would love to have you
The team looks and sees the inhabitants lifting JIGGLYPUFF and R.O.B and cheering for them
CAPTAIN FALCON
Well what we say to that is...
FOX
Unfortunately no
CAPTAIN FALCON
Yes unfortunately ... Wait what?
FOX
We need to find other worlds that are under attack and lend them assistance, some worlds may not have the fighting chance that your world and this one had.
FALCO
As much as I'd love to take a break and relax Fox is right, we stop for too long who knows what we let happen
CAPTAIN FALCON just sighs
CAPTAIN FALCON
Yeah, yeah you're right can we take five minutes though, I think that evil death lady broke my... Everything.
LATER
The heroes are being given supplies by the planets inhabitants and being thanked for saving them, CAPTAIN FALCON is talking with a few of the inhabitants by the Blue Falcon
CAPTAIN FALCON
So you're going to fix her?
CIVILIAN
Well it's not exactly something we're accustom to but we'd like to repay you in someway
CAPTAIN FALCON
Can you give me a moment?
The people then turn around, CAPTAIN FALCON then talks to the Blue Falcon
CAPTAIN FALCON
Now I know I said I was the only one who'd ever fix you up but the universe needs me to keep moving and I can't exactly fix you when we're planet hoping. I know, I know, they'll take good care of you and once this is all over we're gonna win every race in Port Town.
The civilians look at each other somewhat weirded out
PIT is loading supplies onto OLIMAR's ship, he goes to grab more supplies when PHOSPHORA stops to talk with him. PHOSPHORA has JIGGLYPUFF on her shoulders and R.O.B to her side
PHOSPHORA
So your friends here have been telling me some interesting stories, the eight of you are something else
JIGGLYPUFF and R.O.B then shake hands with PHOSPHORA and head onto OLIMAR's ship
PIT
Yeah in our short time together we've seen quite a bit. Also you can understand them?
PHOSPHORA
Well Virdi taught me alot of things, what you weren't taught to understand different species, it's okay I'm sure she was coming around to it.
PIT just has an expression that reads "Alright then"
PHOSPHORA
So you think your goddesses is somewhere out there?
PIT
I know she's out there, and I'll search forever if I have to find her
PHOSPHORA
You know I really missed seeing your pure spirit
PIT
Why don't you come with us? If we find Lady Palutena, maybe we can find Virdi as well
PHOSPHORA
As much as I want that, these people need my help, but if you find her, you come straight here got it?
PIT chuckles
PIT
Loud and clear
PHOSPHORA
Now go and be the hero again Pit-stain
PIT
You know you can just say nice things
PHOSPHORA
I am saying nice things
PIT then goes to get on the ship
PHOSPHORA
Hey Pit
PIT turns around and PHOSPHORA grabs PIT by the collar and kisses him. After the kiss PIT is in a daze
PHOSPHORA
Keep yourself safe out there
PIT
I...uh... you... me... the... what...
CAPTAIN FALCON then walks by PIT and picks him up
CAPTAIN FALCON
Alright kid c'mon you can be lovestruck later, we gotta get moving.
CAPTAIN FALCON then takes PIT onto the ship where the rest of the heroes wave goodbye to the planets inhabitants. OLIMAR's ship then takes off and heads back to the starship
REALM OF ETERNITY
Still raining ERAGUS stands facing the eight heroes who all don't break eye contact with him
ERAGUS
You know I wondered if I'd ever have another being in this realm with me, I did not think eight of my children would be here
SHULK
Well that's funny there friend cause I'm pretty sure you're not my father
ERAGUS chuckles
ERAGUS
Ah the resentment, I almost forgot what it looks like. I am one the universes fathers, my name is Eragus, life as you know it was brought about by me and my brother and sisters, we created you and the worlds you live in.
BAYONETTA
You're full of it.
ERAGUS
Am I... Cereza
BAYONETTA tenses up
ERAGUS
You... All of you I know everything there is to know about you... You think it's coincidence that you manage to get here, I saw you... You can not move in the dark realm without me knowing, I wanted you to come here
SIMON
Why is that?
ERAGUS
To enlighten you... You are looking for the author of the attacks on your worlds, well... Here I am, but I do not wish to fight, I only want to bring peace and balance
MARTH
If any word you speak is the truth then answer me this, why bring peace and balance through chaos and destruction
ERAGUS
The worlds do not have order, if I had come trying to talk with you it would go unheard. So I spoke in a language that every world knows, destruction, they all listen now.
RICHTER
And what exactly are you trying to tell them?
ERAGUS
Richter the universe that you see was the universe before, many different worlds existing together, me and my family ruling over you. But my family had grown soft and wanted you to live on your own, I warned them that you would destroy one another without us there, I was deemed a maniac, but every world I said became truth, your worlds fell into chaos and when I attempted to rebalance the universe, I was tossed into the realm of eternity and then they split the realms, hoping I would never escape to rule over you.
CORRIN
It sounds like to me you were becoming a tyrant and your family had the sense to stop you.
ERAGUS
Tyrant, my dear Corrin, King Garon is a tyrant. What he has done to your family is truly evil, what I wanted to do was assure men like him never gain the power to hurt the innocent
SHULK
You don't believe that. If you believed it you wouldn't be attacking these worlds full of innocent people. You want us to believe that you would end suffering, well forgive me if don't take the word of someone who's first thought of creating peace is through violence
ERAGUS
Naivete Shulk, through calculated violence we can get peace. Marth your world saw peace didn't it... But that only came after a period of great violence did it not my son?
MARTH
That violence never needed to occur, those lives didn't need to be lost.
ERAGUS
(Sighs) You don't grow angry when a fire burns down land to then grow new life, or when a volcano destroys but creates new land. Life is full of calamities that bring great pain but from the ashes rises something better, your worlds have long been poisoned and now it's time to wash away the old world and bring rise to a new one.
CORRIN
Not at the cost of innocents!
ERAGUS
This will be the last great suffering, one last wipe away of the old worlds and then there will be no more suffering, no more wars, and I will lead us to times of uninterrupted peace and prosperity. Please I know you wish to fight me, but let us not do that, join me and from here on we can assure that no more unnecessary suffering will go on in the new world
Everyone doesn't move, MARTH then walks towards ERAGUS
MARTH
There will be no more suffering
ERAGUS
Yes my son, after this... People will know true peace.
MARTH
And what of free will?
ERAGUS sighs
ERAGUS
Free will destroyed your worlds, trust in me and you will have no more pain.
MARTH then kneels down to ERAGUS
SHULK
Marth no!
CORRIN
Marth you can't!
ERAGUS
He has seen the truth, now ask yourselves, do you see it as well?
MARTH then slowly reaches for his blade, MARTH barely gets his blade out its sheath when ERAGUS grabs his hand
ERAGUS
You disappoint me, I thought you would want to stop the suffering
MARTH
Not if it means people lose their free will
ERAGUS
Free will destroyed the universe, it won't do that again.
ERAGUS then throws MARTH at SHULK and the two slide some twenty feet away, SIMON and RICHTER use their whips to attack ERAGUS but he grabs both of them and pulls them in and holds both of them by the throat, DIDDY KONG tries to jump atop ERAGUS but he freezes DIDDY KONG in the air, time then slows down as ERAGUS sees CORRIN trying to flank his right side and BAYONETTA try to flank the left, ERAGUS throws SIMON at BAYONETTA and RICHTER at CORRIN. ERAGUS then grabs DIDDY KONG by the collar
ERAGUS
Do not drag this out, You cannot beat me and your continued resistance will only make things more painful
ERAGUS then drops DIDDY KONG and seems to be frozen, he turns to see LUCARIO trying to restrain him
ERAGUS
That power you have is very impressive, but it pales in comparison to mine
ERAGUS then breaks free of LUCARIO's energy. LUCARIO then charges a large aura blast and fires it at ERAGUS only for the entity to absorb it, ERAGUS then starts charging a similar attack and fires it at LUCARIO who tries to shield himself but the attack is too strong and LUCARIO is knocked down. ERAGUS turns to see MARTH and SHULK running at him, ERAGUS lifts the rocks around him and throws them at the two heroes which they dodge, MARTH and SHULK try to land a strike on ERAGUS but he dodges every strike at incredible speed, BAYONETTA, CORRIN, SIMON and RICHTER all join in the attack but even with six of them ERAGUS dodges every hit, MARTH thinks he has a strike on ERAGUS but when he goes to strike ERAGUS disappears. Everyone looks around wondering where he went
SIMON
Where is he, where did he go?!
DIDDY KONG then screeches and everyone turns to see ERAGUS holding DIDDY KONG, ERAGUS throws DIDDY KONG high in the air, which distracts everyone. ERAGUS then zooms in front of SIMON and knees him in the stomach and slams him into the ground, RICHTER tries throws many hits at ERAGUS and he blocks all of them and strikes RICHTER in the face and lifts him up and throws him at MARTH. BAYONETTA almost catches ERAGUS off guard with a few gun shots but ERAGUS dodges them and is behind BAYONETTA and sweeps her leg and grabs her leg and swings her around before throwing her some ten feet away, CORRIN and SHULK team up on ERAGUS, ERAGUS catches an opening on CORRIN but SHULK uses the Monado speed to get her out of the way, ERAGUS chuckles at the Monado's power
ERAGUS
A very powerful weapon you have there, it's a shame you won't have it for much longer
ERAGUS then disappears and CORRIN and SHULK go back to back and spin around to see where he went. SHULK then freezes
SHULK
Corrin move!
The two dive out of the way as ERAGUS slams down in the middle of them
ERAGUS
Future sight, oh that is something isn't it.
CORRIN and SHULK rush at ERAGUS who continues to dodge their attacks. ERAGUS knocks down SHULK and turns and lifts CORRIN by her throat
ERAGUS
Oh you thought you could make your own fate didn't you, fate can't be challenged, it is inevitable.
ERAGUS is then rocked as SHULK manages to hit him, CORRIN falls to the ground. ERAGUS is somewhat in disbelief that he was hit but quickly starts chuckling
ERAGUS
Oh it has been some time since someone was able to hit me. Now the question is, can you do it again?
SHULK uses speed to try and attack ERAGUS but he is able to dodge the hit, ERAGUS has the drop on SHULK but he uses shield to absorb the hit. SHULK then uses buster to try and manages to hit ERAGUS again and cause him to stumble back, however SHULK gets too confident and leaves himself open and ERAGUS quickly strikes SHULK in the stomach, he then grabs SHULK by the collar
ERAGUS
You can see the future, So let me show you the future now that you've decided to fight me
ERAGUS places his hand on SHULK's head and SHULK's eyes go white and he starts screaming in both pain and horror. MARTH then charges at ERAGUS who throws SHULK aside and dodges a strike from MARTH and lets the hero-king keep trying to strike him but nothing is landing, MARTH then thinks he has an opening on ERAGUS but he catches MARTH's blade
ERAGUS
You are brave one Marth, but in the end, this is the one battle you cannot win
ERAGUS punches MARTH across the face and the hero king falls to ground, DIDDY KONG finally starts coming down, LUCARIO uses his aura to slow DIDDY's fall but ERAGUS zooms over to LUCARIO and hits him with another energy blast that knocks LUCARIO out, DIDDY KONG hits the ground, DIDDY gets up slowly and tries to crawl away, but ERAGUS is right behind him and picks him up by the collar
ERAGUS
Your choice unfortunately will be the last choices you all make
ERAGUS then senses a great surge of power he turns to see CORRIN's Yato blade glowing brightly, ERAGUS drops DIDDY KONG trying to cover his eyes from how bright the blade is, CORRIN then slashes ERAGUS' arm, she then continues to slash at him, ERAGUS barely dodging the attacks, CORRIN then slashes down at ERAGUS and he catches the blade in his hands but the power coming from it is something he is struggling to handle, MARTH then stands and grabs the falchion and charges at ERAGUS, everything goes quiet. ERAGUS has a bewildered expression on his face, he looks down to see the falchion piercing into his stomach, MARTH can't believe that he was able to land the blow. ERAGUS starts to struggle to catch his breath, he starts to glow brightly and screams out in pain and the world turns white
No sound
After some time what sounds like water, under water silence, the sound gets louder and louder as waves are then heard
OCEAN - NIGHT
MARTH awakens underwater and quickly swims up to surface, somehow MARTH is in the middle of an ocean, MARTH struggles to tread water, he then hears faint voices calling to him. Through the water splashing in his face he can see two figures atop something calling out to him, after a few moments MARTH sees SIMON and BAYONETTA trying to get to him, the two pull MARTH aboard a large piece of driftwood, MARTH coughs up water as he tries to catch his breath. SIMON and BAYONETTA then pull up LUCARIO onto the driftwood, LUCARIO coughs up some water but struggles to get up, MARTH then looks out into the water and sees DIDDY KONG, MARTH then reaches for DIDDY KONG and pulls him up, MARTH tries to wake up DIDDY KONG
MARTH
Diddy, Diddy Kong c'mon wake up.
DIDDY KONG coughs up some water and smiles seeing MARTH, MARTH hugs DIDDY KONG. SIMON starts calling out for RICHTER
SIMON
Richter! Richter!
No response, MARTH then realizes CORRIN and SHULK are also not onboard
MARTH
Corrin, Shulk!
SIMON
Richter! Richter!
SIMON then falls over in exhaustion, BAYONETTA tries to catch her breath
BAYONETTA
How did... we get... here? We need... We need...
BAYONETTA then falls over, MARTH just looks at his friends worried about their situation, MARTH sets down DIDDY KONG and continues to call out to his friends
MARTH
Corrin, Shulk, Richter!
MARTH continues to do this as the driftwood floats along in the middle of an ocean
STARSHIP - BRIDGE
The team of FOX, FALCO, CAPTAIN FALCON, PIT, OLIMAR, MEWTWO, JIGGLYPUFF and R.O.B is traveling through the stars. PIT is still dumbstruck by the kiss from PHOSPHORA
CAPTAIN FALCON
Kid!
PIT
What?
CAPTAIN FALCON
I asked you more about your friend, this goddesses lady
PIT
Lady Palutena, well she's great, she has a lot of power and she rules of Angel World, where I'm from
FALCO
You know on a normal day I'd call you crazy for just saying Angel World but now... Well crazy is the new normal.
OLIMAR
So ummmmm... Where are we headed?
FOX
Well right now we're waiting for a signal to come in to let us know where they are attacking so we can help the people there, but it's been eerily quiet, I just hope...
A ping goes off
FALCO
Okay I'm picking up something
CAPTAIN FALCON
What is it?
FALCO
A ship, it went down not too far from here. I'm not picking up any other ships near it. Maybe someone brought it down from the inside, might be worth taking a look
FOX
Alright set a course
OLIMAR then enters the coordinates
MEWTWO
Let us hope something like me didn't bring down that ship
PIT
Why's that?
FALCO
Well our friend here wasn't exactly thrilled to see us when we got this place, safe to assume something on that ship might not be happy to see us.
CAPTAIN FALCON
Well that's... Nice to know
The dark realm ship arrives above a desert planet
OLIMAR's ship along with FOX and FALCO's Arwings fly above a very large crashed darkrealm starship
CRASHED STARSHIP
The eight heroes move quietly through the ship with weapons drawn, FOX is looking on his scanner for any life aboard
FOX
I'm getting nothing, I wonder if another ship shot it down and it crashed here
CAPTAIN FALCON looks around to see some damage
CAPTAIN FALCON
This looks like there was fighting inside, can't say for sure it wasn't shot down but my guess there was a big fight here
FOX then gets a ping on his scanner
FOX
Down this hall
The team moves down the hall and the signatures are coming behind a large door
FALCO
We got two people inside
MEWTWO
These two individuals have immense power but are in a weakened state
FOX
Alright that might give us an advantage if they're not friendly
CAPTAIN FALCON
Rob, can you open the door?
R.O.B nods and opens a panel to works to open the door, everyone is tense, R.O.B then finishes working and the door slowly opens. Once the door opens everyone is ready to fight but stops once they see the people, PIT is shaking and lets out a soft shocked breath
