SPACE

The escape pod holding ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY and ROSALINA floats through the stars

DAISY
Ok so I spy with my little eye...

ROSALINA
Is this really best time for this?

DAISY
Well there's really nothing else going on

PEACH
Besides all we're going to see is empty space, so what's the point

DAISY
Well you gals are no fun at all

ZELDA
Do we really need to be doing this right now?

A shadow is then cast over the escape pod as a dark realm starship flies over the pod.

DAISY
Oh lovely more bad guys

ROSALINA
Can we just get five minutes of peace

The pod is then pulled into the starship

STARSHIP - BAY - A FEW MOMENTS LATER

The escaped pod sits in the landing bay

PEACH
So what do we do now?

DAISY
Well I think we have to fight them

PEACH
Really? You want to fight the ship full of bad guys

DAISY
We did it before

ROSALINA
Well sort of, plus we had Palutena with us

DAISY
So you just want them to just take us and throw in a cell

ZELDA
I mean they're probably going to do that even if we fight

DAISY
Well I at least want to give them a fight and not let them just take us

All the girls sigh

ZELDA
Alright well let's see how many we can take down before they take us down

ROSALINA
Ok this probably won't end well

The escape pod opens and DAISY jumps out and hits someone across the face. DAISY then puts her hands over her face after realizing that she just punched LUIGI across the face. Everyone in the hangar (MARIO, LINK, CHROM, ROBIN, RICHTER, LUCINA, SONIC, MEGA-MAN, DONKEY KONG, META KNIGHT, KIRBY, and GRENINJA) just stand somewhat stunned at what just happened

RICHTER
Okay then we're off on the wrong foot here

LUIGI slowly gets up

LUIGI
Ow... Daisy?

DAISY
Luigi!

DAISY then tackle hugs LUIGI and kisses his face, PEACH then leaves the pod and her face glows seeing MARIO

PEACH
Mario!

PEACH runs out and hugs MARIO, ROSALINA steps out and is immediately swooped out by an elated DONKEY KONG

ROSALINA
It's good to see you too my friend

ZELDA is the last one to leave the pod and freezes as she locks eyes with LINK who is also frozen at the sight of her. After a few moments of just looking at each other the two embrace, with ZELDA running her hands through LINK's hair and LINK letting out shuttered breaths of relief

REUNION/THE ISLAND

DREAM VOID

SHULK is lying down in a white void slowly coming to, he looks over to his side and sees the outline of someone. After a few moments the person becomes clearer revealing FIORA

FIORA
Shulk, c'mon sleepy head you have to wake up

SHULK then places his hand on her cheek

FIORA
Been waiting for you to wake up, I'm glad to see your face again

SHULK then gets up and FIORA then caresses SHULK's face and after a few moments of gazing at each other the two kiss.
SHULK opens his eyes and sees that he is kissing CORRIN, SHULK immediately pulls back

SHULK
Corrin! I... I didn't...

ISLAND HOME

SHULK then looks around him to see that he is lying in bed in a unknown house.

UNKNOWN PERSON
So should I come back at a better time?

SHULK and CORRIN turn to see CLOUD STRIFE standing in the doorway of the house. CORRIN then stands up

CORRIN
I'm... Going to get some air

CORRIN then leaves. CLOUD then comes at sits in front of SHULK

CLOUD
So my friend, how are you feeling?

SHULK
What is this place, where are we?

CLOUD
Well I'd like to show and talk with you about that but I'd like to know if you're okay

SHULK
Why can't you just tell me where I am?

CLOUD sighs

CLOUD
I get it, you were out there for sometime and you probably don't trust someone you just met, I understand and I want to tell you what I know but I'd like to know if you're feeling up to taking a walk considering you've been out for sometime

SHULK
How long have I been out?

CLOUD
At least two days, your friend, or partner I don't know your relationship, she rarely left your side

SHULK
Two days, I'm more messed up than I thought

CLOUD
If you want I can come back when you feel more rested

SHULK then moves to get out of bed and CLOUD stands ready to help him walk. SHULK is able to stand on his own and walks without help

CLOUD
Alright that's good, c'mon let's take a walk

CLOUD then hands SHULK the Monado

CLOUD
Corrin said this is yours, it is an impressive blade

SHULK
Thanks, yours is... Very big

CLOUD
That's definitely one way to describe it

SHULK takes the Monado and then leave the house.

TORTIMER ISLAND - DAY

SHULK steps out onto Tortimer Island, the residents of the island are about fishing, collecting fruit and socializing with one another. SHULK is stunned at the sight of the island's inhabitants, he and CLOUD walk and talk across the beach

CLOUD
So Shulk, welcome to Tortimer Island

SHULK
So you know my name

CLOUD
Well Corrin told us who both of you were. Forgive me I forgot my manners, My name is Cloud

SHULK
So you're not from here Cloud?

CLOUD
(Chuckles) Well what gave that away

SHULK
How did you get here?

CLOUD
I fell in a hole and ended up here.

SHULK
Yeah I know that feeling

CLOUD
We've been here for... I don't know a few months. There was a time where we wanted to go home but we had no idea of how to get back, so we're just making the most of our time here

SHULK
We?

At that moment someone calls out to CLOUD, both CLOUD and SHULK turn to see TIFA LOCKHART with a few of the Tortimer Island residents

TIFA
Hey we're going to be diving pretty soon, care to join us?

CLOUD
I'm going to be talking with our new friend here for a minute

TIFA
Ah I see. Good to see you awake sleepyhead, your friend was really worried about you. Well after your talk we can all gather for a nice meal

TIFA then leaves with the residents

CLOUD
You know what's funny is that when we first got here she never took a moment to... I guess take in the peace of where we are. I know she wants nothing more than to get back home but I'm glad she's finding joy here.

SHULK
The people of the island also seem to be very accepting of new people

CLOUD
The people here are very nice and just full of hope and optimism. It's a very nice thing to be apart of.

SHULK
Have you ever tried leaving the island, are you guys stuck here?

CLOUD
No we're not stuck here, first thing we did when we got here was leave to see if we could find our way home but this world isn't ours, so after sometime searching we decided to come back here and make the most of it.

SHULK
So me and Corrin could leave?

CLOUD
Well no one is keeping you here, are you so eager to leave?

SHULK
It's just... We have some friends out there and I want to find them.

CLOUD
Corrin said you two have been through alot but she didn't really specify what exactly you went through. Just a shot in the dark the giant beam of light in the distance wouldn't be related to your journey?

SHULK turns to see the beacon's light in the distance

SHULK
How... How did I not notice that?

CLOUD
So what happened with you guys?

SHULK
If we told you, you wouldn't believe it

CLOUD
Considering how crazy things are, whatever you told me I'd probably believe it.

SHULK
Cloud, can you take us off the island?

CLOUD
Right now?

SHULK
The sooner we leave the quicker we can find our friends

CLOUD
Look you two have been out at sea for a bit, why don't you stay the night, there's a festival going on tonight and it wouldn't hurt for you to take a moment to rest, I mean really rest.

SHULK looks unsure but he sees CORRIN laughing and socializing with the island's residents, after seeing CORRIN smile and laugh, SHULK takes a deep breath

SHULK
Alright, we'll stay

STARSHIP - BRIDGE - LATER

ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY and ROSALINA have just finished explaining what has happened to them since the start of the war

CHROM
So what Richter said is true, the end times are here

ZELDA
If Eragus had gotten us, he would've got what he wanted, and our duty is to make sure he never gets his hands on it.

RICHTER
It's a bit easier said than done, I fought him with my friends and even without his superweapon he still managed to toss us around like we weren't even there.

LUCINA
Well we can't think of path lost before we even start it

MARIO
Yes, even though things look bad we need to believe that we can win this

PEACH
Mario is right, we can't give up now.

ZELDA
Acting now ensure us that we might get ahead of him

ROBIN
Well I'm glad that even through your trials you still are optimistic

ROSALINA
So what happens next, where do we go?

MEGA-MAN
Well we're heading towards that big light over there

The girls turn to see the beacon's light shining in the distance through the stars

DAISY
How did we not notice that before?

ZELDA
What is it?

META KNIGHT
That's the big question we're about to find out

MEGA-MAN
We're hoping it's something good but we gotta be prepared for a fight

ROSALINA
It's seems like we always have to be prepared for a fight

ROBIN
Is there anything you'd need right now?

ZELDA
Honestly just a moment of rest, just a moment to catch our breaths around people we can trust

CHROM
Of course, I think this ship has some sort of living quarters if you want to go and rest

LINK
I can take them to there

MARIO
I'll go with you

LUIGI
Same here

LINK, MARIO and LUIGI take ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY and ROSALINA to the private quarters.

RICHTER
So... More royalty, I thought the Hero-King was my only look at that world

LUCINA
We should honestly just be prepared for whatever we come across

RICHTER
Prepared for is one thing, actually dealing with something that we haven't seen... Well...

LUCINA
(Sigh) I know it's a different story. Well since we have sometime till we reach our destination, would you like to train Richter?

RICHTER
Are you sure about that?

LUCINA
You're not scared of getting hurt are you?

RICHTER
(Chuckles) Okay, but don't think I'm going to take it easy on you because...

LUCINA
Because what?

RICHTER is quiet

SONIC
Okay I'm coming along with you guys cause I have to see how this ends

LUCINA, RICHTER and SONIC all leave the bridge

KIRBY
Poyo!

META KNIGHT
No I will not entertain you, I'm busy

KIRBY
Poyo, Poyo!

META KNIGHT
Well to your eyes I wouldn't be doing anything but I'm helping Mega-Man fly the ship

MEGA-MAN
You are?

META KNIGHT
Yes I am

META KNIGHT just stares at MEGA-MAN

MEGA-MAN
Okay, I guess you are then

KIRBY
Poyo, Poyo!

META KNIGHT
There is no need for that language. Go and play with Greninja

ROBIN then goes to CHROM

ROBIN
Chrom, I think we need to speak privately for a moment

CHROM nods and the two leave the bridge, in the background KIRBY and GRENINJA are chasing each other

CHROM follows ROBIN into the hallway

CHROM
What's going on my love?

ROBIN
... Our daughter, we haven't said a word on it since she told us

CHROM sighs

CHROM
I know, I'm still... She's our daughter, and I don't know what to say

ROBIN
She's been through alot, I can see it in her eyes. She hid this from us for so long, and now we can't muster a word to her

CHROM
What do we say to her?

ROBIN
She's our daughter, we should speak from our heart, that's what she did with us

CHROM
I always feel like you always know what to do, and I...

ROBIN hugs CHROM

ROBIN
We're two halves of a greater whole, we help each other when the other falls

The two then kiss and ROBIN rests her head against CHROM's chest

TORTIMER ISLAND - NIGHT

A festival is happening with the island's residents gathered on the beach along with SHULK, CORRIN, CLOUD and TIFA. SHULK is sitting when he gets tapped on the shoulder and gets handed a drink in a coconut from ISABELLE

SHULK
Thank you

ISABELLE says something to SHULK and walks away and SHULK turns to CLOUD

SHULK
Ummm... Did you catch any of that, cause it just sounded like... I honestly don't even know what I heard

CLOUD
She said she hopes you like the drink

SHULK
Ah okay

SHULK drinks from the coconut and sees CORRIN and TIFA talking and laughing

SHULK
She's constantly had a smile on her face since we've been here, It's... nice to see her have a moment of.. I guess peace

CLOUD
But we're not really living in peace, that guy you told me about is still out there

SHULK
That he is

CLOUD
So what are you going to do?

SHULK
Get to the light, maybe that will show us what we need to do next

CLOUD
Winging it huh? A solid strategy as anything I guess

SHULK
Well we've been winging since this started, and somehow we've made it this far, considering we know less each place we go.

CLOUD
Well hopefully that light will have answers you need

TOM NOOK gathers some of the residents around to watch K.K SLIDER play a song, many of the residents start dancing, TIFA goes to CLOUD and tries to get him to dance

TIFA
C'mon let's dance

CLOUD
Uhhh I prefer I don't do that

TIFA
Are you really going to make me drag you out there?

CLOUD
Well you could try

TIFA then gives CLOUD a look that reads "Oh really". TIFA then pulls CLOUD to his feet and the two dance. SHULK smiles seeing the two and looks over to CORRIN who looks at him somewhat awkwardly, SHULK then takes a deep breath and goes over to CORRIN

SHULK
Hey

CORRIN
Hi

SHULK
It's ahh... Interesting place here

CORRIN
Yeah it's really nice

SHULK
You've been smiling alot since we've been here, It's nice to see you... I guess feel happy

CORRIN
We've been fighting for sometime and only recently have I thought about home and how great it would be for both of my families to have a celebration like this.

SHULK
Yeah, part of me wishes if this ends, that I never go on another adventure again

CORRIN
(Chuckles) Do you really mean that?

SHULK
Not fully but I know that I will take a very long time off of adventuring, our journey has been filled with it and it's still not over.

CORRIN
I know, we still have alot to deal with and we don't even know how we're going to do it.

SHULK
Lister Corrin, about earlier

CORRIN
You said her name alot. Fiora, in your sleep you would call to her

SHULK
I imagine I did

CORRIN
Shulk, are you in love with her?

SHULK takes a deep breath

SHULK
She is... She is my home. When things are tough, I think of her and things don't seem as bad as they are.

CORRIN then takes SHULK's hands

CORRIN
When you kissed me I was confused on why that happened, but since I know where your heart is, I feel a sense of relief but some slight sadness. Maybe in another life, things between us could be different

SHULK somewhat lets out a sigh

SHULK
Maybe. But I'm just glad now I'm not pushing you away, you are someone I value Corrin. I want you to know that

CORRIN smiles and the two are forehead to forehead, CORRIN then stands

CORRIN
C'mon since we have one day of rest let's the make the most of it, dance with me

SHULK
Ummm, I'm not much of a dancer, and I'd like not to embarrass myself

CORRIN
Well that's lovely and all but this request is not negotiable

SHULK
You know Corrin I think you might be turning into a bad guy right now

CORRIN then pulls SHULK to his feet and the two dance together

STARSHIP - LARGE ROOM - LATER

In a large room ZELDA and LINK sit with each other, in another corner MARIO, PEACH, LUIGI, DAISY, ROSALINA, YOSHI and DONKEY KONG all sit together.

PEACH
And we were lucky enough to escape

DAISY
Palutena, our friend, she stayed behind, we don't know what happened to her

ROSALINA
DK, you haven't come across Diddy in your journey

DONKEY KONG makes a sad noise

ROSALINA
We will find him my friend, I know we will

DAISY
So we're heading towards the giant light, are you sure it's not a trap

LUIGI
We don't think it is, but I guess we have to be ready if it is.

DAISY
You changed so much Luigi, you used to be scared of going into fights. I mean not to say you aren't brave, cause of course you are it's just...

LUIGI
No I understand, I'm surprised myself actually

MARIO
Luigi has been a real reason we've made it this far, I know I wouldn't be here without him

PEACH then takes MARIO's hand

PEACH
I am grateful right now that we are all together, it feels like ages ago since we all were together and I know the circumstances are dire but going foward I feel confident in our ability now that we are together

YOSHI
Yoshi!

MARIO
Ha-Ha. I think so too Yoshi, we're going to win this

Over by LINK and ZELDA

LINK
They seem happy to be reunited

ZELDA
We've all been through so much, just being able to have those closest to us near again... We've not had much to feel positive about, so this is a welcome change

LINK
How are you feeling?

ZELDA
Overwhelmed, tired and frustrated. I had thought that after the last battle with Ganondorf we finally would have peace, but maybe I was fooling myself. We've fought time and time again and now this fight requires everything out of us against an enemy bent on the destruction of everything we know. I guess part of me is just... not in the fight anymore

LINK
But the rest of you?

ZELDA
Will fight to last my breath to ensure life can still go on.

LINK
And then I will fight along side with you. To my last breath

ZELDA
Link... Seeing you again, after so long, if... When we get through this, I want you to promise me something

LINK
Anything

ZELDA
Never leave my side

LINK then holds ZELDA's hands

LINK
I won't

LINK and ZELDA then hug holding each other tightly

STARSHIP - TRAINING ROOM - A FEW MOMENTS LATER

LUCINA and RICHTER are sparring with SONIC watching from the side. LUCINA charges at RICHTER and he manages to dodge her and uses his whip to grab her blade, he disarms her and then moves it to take her down but LUCINA manages to get behind RICHTER and kick him in the back sending him down, LUCINA then grabs her blade and once again moves at RICHTER who dodges her attack. LUCINA thinks she has an opening on RICHTER but he catches her hand and wraps his arms around her so she can't move

RICHTER
So Lucina, what do you say now?

LUCINA
Well I'm sorry about your foot

RICHTER
My wha...

LUCINA then stomps on RICHTER's foot which causes him to break his grip on her and she elbows him in the stomach which makes RICHTER hit the ground. RICHTER looks to get up but LUCINA stands over him

LUCINA
So Richter, what do you say now?

RICHTER looks to yield

RICHTER
Alright, alright. I'm... Sorry about your back

LUCINA
My wha...

RICHTER then pulls LUCINA's leg and she falls flat on her back. Both heroes are on the ground in pain

SONIC
So do we call this a draw or what?

ROBIN and CHROM enter the room

CHROM
What... What is going on here?

SONIC
Just some friendly sparring, don't worry they're okay

Both LUCINA and RICHTER let out pained noises as they stand

ROBIN
Sonic, Richter do you think we could have a moment alone with Ma... With Lucina

LUCINA somewhat is stunned to here her mother say her name

SONIC
Yeah I think we can do that, c'mon Richter let's see if they have ice on the ship

RICHTER
Look I don't need I... ow... Okay let's see if they have ice.

SONIC and RICHTER leave the room

LUCINA
You said my name, for all this time I was just Marth

CHROM
Well that's what we knew you by

LUCINA
I know me saying what I said... Is alot especially now but... I had to say it and you deserved to know the truth.

ROBIN
It is alot, and we didn't know how to respond in that moment, to know that we will have a daughter, ever since this started I didn't think of trying to start a family, but now that I know, I will do everything in power to protect that

CHROM
Lucina, you've been through so much and you went through alot to come to us when we needed help and now we are together in the fight of our lives. Fate works in strange ways but, it brought us together, as a family.

ROBIN then places her hand on LUCINA's cheek

ROBIN
You are a strong, brave and beautiful person and I'm so glad that you are our daughter

CHROM
I'm sorry we didn't say this immediately, but we love you Lucina. We are so proud of you

LUCINA breaks down and tears and hugs her parents. The family enjoys a quiet moment together, however MEGA-MAN's voice comes through the ship's intercoms

MEGA-MAN (COMMS)
Okay I think this is working, Yes it's working. Oh they can hear me uhhh... Guys umm we're here but we have a situation

META KNIGHT (COMMS)
Everyone needs to get to the bridge now!

STARSHIP - BRIDGE - A FEW MOMENTS LATER

Everyone enters the bridge to see what's happening

RICHTER
Okay so we're here, what's the prob... Oh...

SONIC
Right... That's not good

From the bridge another darkrealm starship is seen hovering above the beacon.

LUIGI
So is this a trap?

MEGA-MAN
I don't know, they haven't opened fire on us

META KNIGHT
They could be waiting for us to strike first

LUCINA
They've always fired on anyone without hesitation, so why now hesitate?

Through the comms someone starts speaking

FOX (COMMS)
Hello, this Fox McCloud, leader of Star-Fox, we're sending this message to see if you are friend or foe

FALCO (COMMS)
Considering you haven't opened fire on us, we'll take that as your not the dark realm army but that doesn't make us friends

FOX (COMMS)
If you don't let us know in the next minute we will be forced to open fire on you.

SONIC
What's a Starfox?

MARIO
Should we... Should we respond?

LINK
They said if we don't respond in a minute they'll shoot us anyways

META KNIGHT
I say we fire first, they've already decided to fire on us if we don't seem like their allies

MARIO
Maybe we don't need to do that, let's try talking with them

CHROM then goes to MEGA-MAN

CHROM
Can you send them a signal so I can talk with them

MEGA-MAN
(Sighs) Yeah I can, I hope this works

MEGA-MAN then sets up a signal between the two ships

CHROM
This is Chrom, Prince of Ylisse, I do not believe we are enemies, so do not talk to us like so, I don't know what you've been through and I don't know if you trust new people, but I say this, we're here to help put an end to this madness. I have the love of my life, my daughter and my friends aboard this ship, and I'm willing to fight and die for them, and if you still feel that we can't be trusted, then do what you must.

Everything is quiet for a moment and the air is tense

FALCO (COMMS)
This guy reminds me of you Fox

FOX (COMMS)
Okay since we are on the same side, let us meet

Everyone takes a breath of relief

MEGA-MAN
A fight avoided, I guess we'll take the wins where we can

THE BEACON - A FEW MINUTES LATER

The team of CHROM, ROBIN, MARIO, KIRBY, LINK, LUCINA, RICHTER, SONIC, ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY, ROSALINA, DONKEY KONG, MEGA-MAN, META KNIGHT, and GRENINJA are making their way towards the beacon

LINK
Do you think they're already inside?

META KNIGHT
They could be waiting to ambush us

MEGA-MAN
You my friend need to stop having negative thoughts

KIRBY
Poyo, poyo

META KNIGHT
Don't talk down to me like that

Rustling of the forest is heard as everyone stops and looks to fight, from the forest exits FOX, FALCO, SAMUS, SNAKE, CAPTAIN FALCON, PIT, PALUTENA, PIKACHU, PICHU, MEWTWO, JIGGLYPUFF, OLIMAR and R.O.B

ZELDA
Palutena!

ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY and ROSALINA rush to hug PALUTENA

PALUTENA
My friends, I'm so glad you're okay

GRENINJA rushes to an elated PIKACHU, PICHU and JIGGLYPUFF

SAMUS
So they universe is a bit smaller than we thought it was

IKE
That it is

Everyone turns to see IKE, ROY, NESS, LUCAS, THE ICE CLIMBERS, PAC-MAN, MR GAME and WATCH and the DUCK HUNT duo standing in front of the beacon

SOLID SNAKE
Who are you?

IKE
My name is Ike, me and my friends lit the beacon, hoping people would come to help bring an end to this war

PALUTENA
That's why we're here and now we can hopefully move quick to find the lightsbane

ROY
Whoa, you know about that, How?

PALUTENA then gestures towards ZELDA, PEACH, DAISY and ROSALINA

PALUTENA
Because me and my friends, are pieces it's location
