Chapter 1: Dawn of a New Battle Part 1
World of Light (Formerly the World of Trophies), Southern Plateau, Starting Area:
"Poyo Poyo Poyo!" ("Mario, Please snap out of this, Galeem and her forces's are controlling you!") Kirby plead to his possessed friend as he and Bandana Dee dodged the fireball he just shot out. "Poyo!" ("Wake up!")
"It's no use my dear puffball, Your friend has been long gone, I now possessed this body for my misstress…" 'Mario' answered back to the Duo as he approached back to them as he's eyes were not his usual brown but a crimsom red as both the M on the Cap was replaced with a symbol of white orb surrounded by four angel wings and his voice was not his typical Italian voice but a seductive female one. "You may have escaped her wrath but not this one..."
"So stop wasting you and your friend's breaths and accept your demise!" Said the corrupted plumber as he don his hammer and dashed towards the two. "All whom are not of the Light shall be perished!"
Kirby and Bandana Dee quickly countered back with their weapons (Hammer and Spear respectively), blows quickly occurring in the process as they ended with a stalemate.
"Not good Kirby, not good…" Bandana Dee answered back to his friend as they pushed their weapons against their friend's. "We better think of something and quick!"
Kirby nodded back to him as he and his friend quickly broke out of the weapon stalemate as they shot a glance at the possesed Mario, His eyes glaring right into theirs.
He then thought back to when the latest smash tournaments have started… and what has led them to he and his friend's current problem…..
(****)
Smash Mansion, Master Hand's office, Some time earlier:
"Any sign of Master Hand you two?" Samus said back to Mario and Link as the trio along with Pikachu currently searching for the missing Master Hand whom has oddly vanished recently.
"Nope," Mario answered back to her before turning to Link. "Any clue you did to find Link?"
"Sadly none." He answered back to him before turning to Samus and Pikachu. "Any clues you guys DID manage to find?"
"Nothing much unfortunately," Pikachu sighed back to him as he shock his head from Samus's Shoulder. "No sighs of evidence found on our side either…."
Today was the day the Ulitmate Smash tournament was officially going to begin with the first exibithition matches being held later this evening.
But to the surprise of many of the smashers (mostly the newbies for this year's tourney) and Master Hand's brother Crazy hand, the benevolent hand god was nowhere to been seen.
To prevent major mass panic due to the host and creator being missing (which it did unfortunately), the '64' Era smashers decide to search for clues where he may gone off to while Crazy decided to take a risky move and investigate the depths of Subspace to find his missing brother (Even leaving behind a letter/will that if he doesn't return or dies trying to find Master Hand, they can have the following: freedom to prank Corrin (or Cornbread as he like to call him lately) and his sister Kamui 24/7, Access to he and Master Hand's ultra smart TV and all the popcorn they can eat.)
The four are currently in Master Hand's office searching for clues where he was while Fox, Ness and Captain Falcon was looking into the security footage for anything that could help them with the missing Hand could be, (Kirby, DK, Yoshi, Luigi and Jigglypuff were left to handle any potential problems with the other smashers while this is going on in the main Cafeteria/Hall with Pac Man, Mega Man, Sonic and the Mii Fighter trio of Alice, Kai and Leo helping them out.)
"Still we got-a problem Samus." Mario answered back to his friend. "It's been a week since Master Hand invited us all back…. And he's never one to leave without a warning or note."
"That's true, the last time he left like this was the Brawl tournament and even then he DID left us a note to hold the opening matches at least…" She continued with a firm look on her face. "But given it was a distraction to both recruit Ganondorf, Bowser and Wario on to his side and steal the Halberd from Meta Knight as well…"
"True, Tabuu was crafty but if Master Hand's wasn't able to-" Link said back to her as he then noticed a brief sparkle behind the giant hand's desk.
"Hey Link, are you ok?" Pikachu questioned the Hylian as he then pushed the desk backwards to see a small CD right in front of them.
He then took the CD as he looked back at it with an analytic look on his face as he studied the disk.
'That's odd, it's still in good condition despite being here…' he thought to himself as he studied the oddly shiny disk. 'Unless it's been here only recently…..'
'And it definitely not by Crazy Hand… It's not like he would hide something unless it's for a prank….
"Hey guys, I think I may know a major clue to our current problem…" he said back to his friends as he showed them the disk. "I found it behind the desk and did you three notice anything strange about it?"
"Well it's pretty shiny for one," Pikachu said back to him as he hopped off from Samus's shoulder to the table as he looked at the disk. "But it's not 'mint condition' shiny, but rather it's 'been used recently' shiny."
"I'm no tech expert but I believe we have a clue now." The Hylian continued as he turned to Samus, Passing the disk onto her in the process.
The Bounty Hunter studied the disk for a while before looking back to her fellow smasher, a firm look appearing on her face as she did so.
"We need to see Fox and Douglas now." She answered back to the group as they quickly nodded back. "I think I know what this disk contains…."
(****)
"So any luck so far Fox?" Ness questioned the leader of star fox as the two along with Captain Falcon are currently investigating any leads on where Master Hand could have vanished off to who knows where. "Any potential Master Hand clues?"
"Sorry Ness but no." He said back to him with a sigh as he check the files that were recorded the last few days. "The yesterday footage in his office and bedroom was deleted along with other minor details…."
"And the other only thing we could find are files of whom he's planning to invite next." He continued with a sigh as he closed a file that says DLC #U7* ARMS. "We're more or less busted with the current evidence we DO have right now…."
"Well that's a bust…." Ness signed back to him as he turned to Captain Falcon, whom was currently going through the footage of the other smashers room to see if anything supcious occurred there, (With Ganondorf (And to a lesser degree Ridley) almost being suspect number 1 due to him being the most willing of the Four working for Tabuu during the brawl tourney, Something Fox was relief to know when Wolf told him that he wasn't involved with the Subspace incident due to getting his invited late.)
"So Falcon, Any news far buddy?" Questioned the PSI user as he looked back at he looked back at the older smasher whom was currently checking the room footage for clues.
"Sadly no Ness." He answered back to him as he looked through the footage, making sure to avoid spending too much on the rooms of the woman and children. "I check Ganondorf's room first, and he's either mostly been out of his room or taking naps in said room."
"What about Ridley?" Ness suggested with some caution no doubt aware of the fact that both he and Samus are dating and how they fought against the leader of the Space pirates when escaping the Isle of the ancients, which was about to be absorbed into Subspace. "You think he has something to do with it? He was involved with the incident as well….."
"I did…. And it's mostly him trying to remove that shock collar the Hands forced him to wear so they can monitor him incase he tries any funny business…." The Captain continued as he looked back at the monitor. "So he's fortunately out of the list at least…."
"So we can cross them out at least…." Ness said back to him with a frown, "Did you check what's Wario and Bowser up to as well?"
"Already did that Ness, And their mostly doing their own thing." Falcon answered back to him as he looked back at him with a surprised look on his usual stoic face.
"Though I'm surprised why you asked that? Something occurred with you and the both of them lately"
"It's mostly for Red." He answered back to him as his tone became serious. "He's still on the edge with Wario even after everything that occurred with the Subspace incident…."
"Heck, Even during the last tournament, Charizard still wants to smolder his butt** since what happened with what he did to Lucas and I." He continued as he recalled the Flame Pokémon taking every chance he can to glare and snort at Wario, even being extremly brutal on him during matches. "Master Hand even sent me to keep him in check every now and then to avoid him being murdered…."
"It's understandable how they feel Ness." Fox said back to him as he turned away from the computer, "Diddy still bares a grudge with Bowser due to what he did to DK during that disaster…."
"He may have mentioned it to Banjo and Kazooie#1, he's may have been quiet about it during the previous tournament but it's clear he's still baring the scars of the past, even talking about the koopas to him in his homeworld is something he's not exactly comfortable with…."
"Oh ok…." The PSI user said back in surprise at what he just heard, no doubt he never really checked with DK, Lucas, Red or even Dedede after the events of the Subspace incident.
Then again, he was frozen as a trophy by Wario until Dedede's special brooches that can reverse the effects of being stuck as one revived him and Luigi, Neither of them never really getting the full story either until Lucas, Red and Mario brought them up to speed when they all get reunited at the entrance of the great maze, A Chimera of all the places Tabuu sent to his own dimension.
"But let's report back to Mario and Samus now," Fox said back to his fellow original Twelves as he looked back to them. "So let's report them the things we DID find on our si-"
The door being opened with Samus, Mario, Pikachu and Link soon entering the area soon interrupted him from saying any more.
"Guys, We found something that might help us!" Samus said back to the four guys in the room as she took out the disk that Link found earlier and showed it to her fellow original twelves.
"A disk?" Said Ness as he looked back at the item in shock, "Where did you find it?"
"Link found located near Master Hand's Desk," Samus answered back to him as she approached Falcon with it, Quickly handing the disk to him. "You think you can analysis what's in this disc?"
"No problem, Sam." Douglas said back to his girlfriend as he took the disk from her while giving a nod back.
He loaded it into the computer his using as the others present with him looked at the screen ahead of him.
To their surprise it was nothing but static, a sense of disappointment soon entered the ears of everyone present.
"Well that's stinks…." Ness said back in a bummed out tone before the sound of someone talking through the computer's speakers soon entered the ears of the smashers.
"*Brzzt*…*Brzzzt*…Hello anybody hearing this message, If you are hearing this message…. Then I'm afraid SHE has returned…." Said the Voice from the computer as the smasher's faces turned to a mixture of horror, dread and surprise.
"A She?" Fox said back in shock at what he has just heard, "Well at least we can cross Tabuu of our list on Tourney crashers…"
"Fox, Not now…." Link said back to him as he shot a glare at the leader of Star Fox.
"Galeem, The Being that has created me and Crazy Hand has returned…. With Tabuu and the Master Core, The Seals keeping her sealed away now destroyed… She's planning her return to combined all worlds into her prefect utopia….."
"She's planning to capture me soon…. I'm going to postpone the tournaments for now…. I must avoid her seizing control of me once more…."
"To any Smasher whom is hearing this now… You must gather the others and my brother…. Meet me at the Craggy Outlook… Hurry… Before she retur-ARGGH! *BZZZT!*-*BZZZZZT!*
The screen then turned black and ejected the disk out of the player as the noise was soon stopped as well.
A sense of dread soon entered the room as the seven smashers then looked back at it, then the screen and finally themselves.
"This is definitely not good guys…" Ness said back to his friends as a sense of dread entering his mind at the 'she' Master Hand mentioned could be related to the master of Subspace. "If this Galeem is related to Tabuu…."
"It's definitely not good." Pikachu answered to him with a similar sense of fear entering his mind. "And I'm not just taking about the time I was stuck into the Subspace weapons generator either…."
"So what's the plan Samus?" Link questioned her back as he looked back at her. "You and Mario are more or less the leaders of us '64' Smashers."
The Bounty hunter then remained slient as she shot one look at the disk, and then the words Master Hand has just mentioned.
'The craggy outlook was where we all have been dumped after Tabuu's defeat….' She thought to herself with a sense of dread. 'I previously thought why Master Hand dumped us there of all places after we returned the world of trophies after Tabuu's defeat….'
'Unless that Place has more that meets the eye then we thought…..'
"Something wrong Samus?" Mario questioned the Bouty Hunter in worry as she closed her eyes
"…We need the others now guys." Samus said back to her fellow smashers, A firm look appearing on her face as she did so. "Let's go."
She then quickly took the disc and rushed towards a nearby teleporter in the area, Quickly stepping into it and activating the coordinates to her location, The Smash mansion Cafeteria/Hall.
She then vanished in a beam of light with the others looking back at each with determined looks on their faces.
"You know the drill guys, let's roll." Pikachu answered back to his fellow smashers as they entered the teleporter, entered the same coordinates and vanishing in the same light as well.
(****)
Smash Mansion, Main Cafeteria/Hall:
"Where's Master Hand?" Said one reporter whom was anxious for the tournament to start. 'Where the heck is he?"
"And what's the Hold Up?" said another one whom wanted to see her idols Zelda and Samus duke it out. "I want to see Zelda in battle already!"
"Please don't tell me it's the Subspace Thing all over again!" A third answered back to the smashers on the stage.
"Someone give us answers before I consider clobbering some-" A fourth newcaster shouted in anger as he shot a death glare at Roy Eliwood, Corrin and Kamui. "Our channel is dying for answers NOW! And if we don't get them…."
"Yeah let's go clobber some fir-" said a fifth reporter before the sound of a whistle coming for Luigi interrupted their voices.
"For the last time everyone, remain calm! My Bro and the others are trying to find Master Hand!" Luigi desperately said back to the crowd as he put aside his whistle, his checks having gone red from all the blowing he did, "So please be quiet for now!"
"And I know how hated Corrin and his sister is during the previous tournament but please hold off all blaming attempts on them and Roy till we find out the root of the problem." He continued with frustration seeping into his tone.
"As Luigi said, Please hold the questions till Mario, Samus, Pikachu and the others get back." Mega Man answered back to the crowd whom were almost ready to attack them. "Please remain calm for the time being while we search for the cause of this."
"Yeah and don't make me and DK go full on Zubat Sh-" Said Jigglypuff as she was almost ready to let loose on the crowd before Luigi quickly clamped her mouth.
"As I said before, Please hold the complaints till my bro gets back with the news!" The Green Mario brother said back to the crowd while he held the struggling Puffball in his hands. "I know we're all wondering about where Master Hand is, but please for the love of god, hold it for now."
"*Mppmmmm, MPMMMMMM!* (Let me at them Luigi, If they keep this up, I'll…I'll…)" Said the Pokémon as she struggled to hold her anger against the aggressive crowd. "*Mpmmmm!* (…Before I show them a clobbering that even Dedede will be embrassed by!)"
"Jigglypuff, Just remain calm for now ok?" Luigi answered back to her as he then looked back at Kirby whom was more or less there to help his fellow original twelves. "You don't want to make Kirby worried for you right?"
"And besides, Bandana, Adeline and Ribbon are here, So don't make a sense if you don't want them thinking you're a negative influence on Kirby like Tiff once thought the tourneys were during the brawl tournament, ok?"
As soon as the green plumber uttered those words, Jiggypuff shot one look at the three he mentioned and then back to her boyfriend whom was currently trying his hardest to help out.
"…Fine…" She answered back to him as she knew her temper can get out of hand… especially during the First two tournaments.
"No problem." Luigi answered back to the puffball as he looked at the crowd of irritated reporters and worried smashers.
'Mama-Mia…. This is really out of hand….' Thought the Italian plumber in disbelief while trying his hardest not to cringe.
'I guess the news really does fly these days…'

"Hey Lucina, Robin… Is this something you two experience during the Sm4sh tournament?" Chrom Lowell questioned his Daughter and Wife as the family are currently waiting in the Main Hall seated near one of the tables as he witness Sonic, Mega Man, Pac Man, Luigi, Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Donkey Kong and the Mii Fighter trio currently trying to keep the situation under control. "I heard about both the Master Core crisis and the incident with Sherk and Goku that occurred with you two but this seems quite worrying right now…."
"No Father, It didn't started like this….." Lucina said back to her father as she and her Mother looked back at the crowd of worried smashers…. "The latter incident only occurred after the DLC Fighters were announced…."
"And the former occurred before the Ballot."
"And Trust me honey, the latter incident is something I won't want to see again with Grima…" Robin answered back as she quickly banished the memories of her daughter fighting alongside the two with her future boyfriend Shulk. "It's something NONE of us were expecting…"
"Then again…. You were kinda of helping things out in Alberia*** while Me and Lucina were in the tournament." Robin answered back to him. "So it's understandable why you're out of the loop of such things dear…."
"Still, I heard from both Pit and Marth that this isn't the first time such a thing occurred….." Lucina said back to her parents as she then took out a piece of paper for them to see.
While Robin's reaction was similar to her daughter's, Chrom's was that of surprise to see the drawing of what appears to be the Captain of Palutena's Army fighting alongside Mario, Link, Yoshi, Kirby and Sonic are fighting against a Blue glowing man with angel wings.
"Lucina, Is this?" Chrom said back in shock as he's daughter gave him a nod.
"Yes Father, It's the being named Tabuu," Lucina answered back to him with a sigh. "He was the reason for the subspace incident during the brawl tournament…"
"…And from what Pit told me and Rock, He's no laughing matter… same with the Master Core." The Ylissean Princess told her father whom was shocked to say the least. "Mother and I still have unpleasant memories fighting the latter….It's just as much of threat as Grima…."
"But still, It's odd Master hand's isn't here…" Robin questioned her daughter with a worried look. "He was present during the last tournament we took part in…"
"You're right about this mother….." Lucina answered back to her mother with a similar look on her face. "Things went smoothly with us during the previous tournament…."
"So I wonder what's wrong now?"
The Ylissean Princess soon got her answer when she suddenly saw Samus teleporting into the main stage, Followed by her Mario, Link, Pikachu, Ness, Captain Falcon and Fox.
"Sorry we're late Luigi!" Mario said back to his brother as he and the others arrived on the stage. "We found out where Master Hand potentially is!"
"Well that's a relief bro!" Luigi answered back to his brother. "Even with Sonic and the others' help, this crowd almost getting worst by the minute!"
"Tell me about it," Rock answered back to him with a sigh, "It's almost as bad as the Emerald Spears back from my world…"
"You mean those crazy robophobia guys from your world?" Luigi questioned back to the blue bomber with a puzzled look on his face. "Those guys whom want to wipe out all the robots just because their leader lost his eye to Elec Man when Wily stole and reprogrammed**** him and your other seven brothers?"
Rock simply gave a nod back to him, no doubt a sensitive topic to this day for him as he looked back at Samus.
"Don't worry about this Rock, We'll take it over from here." She answered back to him as she rushed up to the stage with Pikachu right behind her.
"Ok everyone, I know you're wondering where Master Hand is right?" The bounty hunter answered to the crowd as they stopped their arguing and looked at the bounty hunter.
"Me, Douglas, Mario, Pikachu, Link, Fox and Ness has found this disk that Master Hand has left behind." She began as she revealed the disc the hylian as found earlier.
"We saw the contents of the disks… and it's pretty bad news."
"And by bad news what do you mean?" Said Toon Link with a puzzled look on his face.
"Is it like the subspace incident?" Questioned Alex as he, his twin sister Fiora and secretary Isabelle looked back at the bounty hunter. "The one you guys went through during the brawl tourney?"
Samus then remained slient as she spoke her piece,
"I'm afraid it is Alex…." Said the bounty hunter as she closed her eyes.
"Master Hand has gone missing…By someone he call Galeem….. and she may be connected to Tabuu in a way..."
"WHAT!"
(****)
*Yeah the DLC fighters (expect for Mewtwo, Roy and Lucas) have serial numbers on Master Hand's computer to represent them and how they were introduce in this series, an example will be Joker whom would be considered DLC #U2: Persona 5 and Ryu is considered DLC #WiiU1: Street Fighter. The U (Joker, Terry, Banjo)is for those introduced in the Ulitimate era while the WiiU is for those (Cloud and Ryu) introduced in the Smash 4 era)
**Likely due to what happened during Subspace Emissary with his trainer and Lucas, Charizard likely bared a grudge against Wario even during the fourth tournament making every chance he get to make it clear to him he's keep his eye on him, especially when Lucas returns.
***Reference to the mobile game Dragalia Lost which features crossovers with both the Fire Emblem and Mega Man, with the second crossover with the former staring Chrom, The events of those X-overs will be play somewhat of a role in this series with Dragons being somewhat a major player in the Deluxe-Verse.
****For those whom never read the Archie Mega Man Comics (Which is actually pretty good btw, Check them out when you get the chance, they pretty much if Ian Flynn was there on the Sonic comics from day 1 and without the many restrictions he was stuck with in the IDW Sonic comics.) The Emerald Spears were a group of Robophobics whom were trying to stop the advancement of Advance robotics with their Leader Xander Payne developing his hatred for Robots due to needing an cybernetic eye from an attack by Elec Man during the events of the first Mega Man Story Arc in that comic. (And if your curious where Rock learnt about this, Let's just say the latter Told him about it)
Also while Time Man and Oil Man were activated by Wily at a later point in the Archie Comics (The first six were reprogrammed first in the comic with them being activated for the second arc with Wily stealing themas well when he broke into Light Labs,), Here they were both stolen and activated along with the original six Light Bots like in Powered Up.
Author's note:
OK, I did not start the Fic off with everyone (Save Kirby and (Spoilers due to the scene above) Bandana Dee) getting Laser beamed by Galeem, But I do want to explore character interactions before that event (The Main World of Light Event will start at chapter 3)
Like Krosshair's version of WOL, Expect some changes to the story with at least 8 characters being shifted from the Light Realm to the Dark Realm and Via versa (Four from the Dark Realm being pushed to the Light Realm while another Four from the light realm takes the spots of the four mentioned above in the Dark Realm)
It will also feature extra bosses and Smashers for this story, Seven of them have been revealed so far in my tie in stories so you may know who they are, Once again, I'm not ripping off Krosshair's story but retelling the story of WOL with inspiration from his story.
This story will also include the first six DLC fighters with three being pushed to the Dark Realm and another three in the Light realm.
BUT! Do NOT expect Min Min and the other upcoming 5 DLC fighters to show up in this story unlike Kross Hair's story (Where they appear after they were announced via teleportation devices). They will be appearing in my Post WOL-DX stories however, (That said, our favourite ramen noodles owner may be appearing in this story as a side story of sorts but it depends for now, Just don't expect her to be appearing in this one.)
Also, NONE of my OCs (Viper, Anubis and Eclipse) will be appearing in World of Light Deluxe save for the Mii fighter trio, They won't be captured by Galeem btw so their locations may be used for some of the relocated smashers for this story.
What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, See ya! ;)
