Hey guys! I apologize for the longer than expected wait, but I'm back now and into my normal posting schedule again! We pick up where we left off after Luigi, Daisy, and Olimar reach the World of Trophies and meet Palutena. What will further await the group? Read on to find out!

Before I continue though, I finally picked up Terry, and he's pretty good in terms of the moves he has. He may even be close to Hero, but he isn't without his faults. (I was able to beat a few Terrys online with my main.) I'm not too concerned with the fifth smash dlc fighter and any that are after that. I'm more than satisfied with our current roster, but there are some people who want their favorite character in the game no matter how unlikely or ridiculous it may seem.

As always, don't forget to fave, follow, and review! Now, without further ado, let's get into this chapter!

Oak Town, World of Trophies

Dark Pit and Bayonetta were sitting on their respective beds in the local clinic. Despite that though, they were still good enough to walk.

Once they got outside the building, they saw their ally Palutena coming back their way with three brand new people the two fighters didn't recognize.

One was a slightly lean man with blue overalls and a green cap. The second one looked to be a woman of royalty who wore an orange dress decorated with floral patterns and a golden crown. The third looked to be an unusual spacesuited explorer that was around the height of a normal Oak Town resident.

When the goddess and her new allies got to the clinic, the Umbra Witch and the dark angel were confused.

"I take it you found some new fighters to join us?" Asked Dark Pit.

Palutena decided to clarify. "Dark Pit, Bayonetta, I'd like you to meet Luigi, Daisy, and Olimar. They were in space not too long ago and had an encounter with Galeem himself. I believe that their knowledge may prove useful in us stopping him once and for all."

"We'll keep an open mind." Said Bayonetta. "As long as they're okay with telling their little story."

"We are." Responded Luigi before looking at his two friends.

Daisy and Olimar simultaneously nodded back at the green plumber, indicating they were okay with explaining their fight.

The two dark fighters and Goddess of Light then listened to the trio's story about their previous battle with Galeem. They talked about Galeem's desire for power as well as universal purification. They also confirmed the location of the other fighters they were with.

After processing the information, Palutena asked for some confirmation. "So Galeem stole Rosalina's station power, along with resurrecting an old enemy of Samus."

Daisy decided to add a little. "Don't forget that Rosalina, Samus, and Pikachu, are taking the fight to Galeem as we speak. I'm hoping those three have the strength to pull it off."

"No kidding." Added Luigi. "I'm-a confident those three can succeed. Especially with-a Mario and other fighters out there as-a well."

Palutena smiled in response before her expression soon faded. "No guarantees, Luigi. But I respect your optimism."

"Indeed." Said a new voice.

The group looked to where the voice was coming from and saw Matt, the villager turned mayor of Oak Town, coming their way with Isabelle following closely behind. "I'm happy to see you three are able to move around after the injuries I saw."

The mayor then looked toward Luigi, Daisy, and Olimar. "And who might you guys be?"

Luigi then stepped forward. "I'm-a Luigi. The cute-a princess is-a Daisy, and the space explorer is-a Olimar. We just-a came from-a space after a battle with Galeem."

Matt then grew more pensive. "I see now. This threat is growing beyond this planet."

Palutena then broke off from the rest of the group and walked toward a contemplating Matt. "It's good to see you, Matt. I take it you've made your decision?"

"I have." Responded the mayor while retaining more confidence. "I've decided to join you in the fight against this new foe."

This news brought smiles onto the fighters because they had another person joining their noble cause.

Isabelle looked to be happy as well. "I knew you'd make the right choice!"

"Well, welcome aboard, Matt." Said Palutena. "We believe you'll make a fine addition to our alliance."

"Wait… alliance?" Asked Luigi in confusion.

This reminded Palutena about what she needed to say earlier. She got the other fighters' attention and initiated her speech. "Everyone. I know you all come from different sides of this world, but I have received a vision detailing where we need to go next. It is more than likely a good number of allies will be there waiting for us at our destination, but we need to hurry. If we don't take a stand now, it's game over for everyone on not only this world, but other worlds as well."

"Where are we gonna go?" Asked Dark Pit.

Palutena showed no hesitation in responding to the dark angel's question. "Hyrule Kingdom."

Murmuring traversed through the fighters before the goddess continued to explain.

"It is there that we can fully oppose Galeem and hopefully end his universal threat once and for all. Are you with me?"

The fighters all nodded in response, indicating their allegiance and spirit.

Palutena soon felt the fire to fight burning in each one of her allies. She smiled at her accomplishment.

A few hours later, everyone had their preparations under way. The Lightning Chariot was rebuilt from Oak Town materials provided by the villagers. The mystical horses were also properly tended and fed in the nearby stable.

Isabelle was giving a speech to the town residents about the mayor taking a leave of absence. This understandably made many people outraged and confused, but the secretary eventually calmed them down.

Olimar, Luigi, Daisy, Matt, Palutena, and Bayonetta all boarded the rocket while Dark Pit decided to take the newly rebuilt Lightning Chariot and be the team's recon vehicle.

Isabelle was about to board with them, but Matt stepped out and blocked her path.

"What are you doing? I want to fight too!" Responded Isabelle.

"I'm sorry, Isabelle, but someone needs to look over this town while I'm gone." Said Matt slightly regretfully.

Isabelle was originally taken off guard about this, but soon reluctantly composed herself. "I… understand. I won't let these people down."

Isabelle stayed on the ground as the rocket was about to lift off. The ship then closed its doors as the ramp started to move back up. Before it could take off though, a worried town citizen came up to her.

"Don't let others hold you back." Said the resident.

Another one came to her. "We can take care of ourselves. Our mayor taught us that."

Soon enough, more citizens encouraged her to board the rocket ship. After more pushing, Isabelle realized she needed to go with them. However, the door was closed, so the next best thing would be for her to hide in the landing gear compartment before it closed up.

After taking a deep breath, Isabelle gave one last farewell to her citizens. "Take care of yourselves and wish me luck!"

She then went in the compartment and immediately knew there was no turning back. As far as she knew, none of the other fighters had any idea she snuck aboard.

The landing gear soon closed with Isabelle safely secure inside the spacious compartment.

In the main pilot chamber of the rocket, each fighter took a seat while Olimar manned the controls. "So how do we get to Hyrule?"

Palutena was quick to respond. "I can show us the way."

The goddess then got into a state of concentration once more before receiving a vision of direction. "We need to go east. Once we're far enough, we'll head north. We can't miss it after that."

The ship then set off eastward with Dark Pit traveling alongside them.

To each fighter that boarded the rocket or chariot, they all knew that they were in for the fight of their lives.
