S.S Light - Deck

After finishing their own business in other worlds, the heroes return back to their HQ the S.S Light, discussing their next move, because obviously some things happened when they arrived at those worlds.

Some arrived earlier than others, Bowser's group are the ones recently arrived, soon to be followed by Olimar's group, and unbeknownst to Olimar's group, they didn't notice the gold slime they accidentally bring along.

"Welcome back Olimar." Isabelle greeted Olimar's group, she looked down and noticed the gold slime on the floor. "Uhm.. there's a slime on the floor."

Olimar looked down and fear has overcame him yet again.

Soon after the gold slime begin moving and joined together, reforming the Plasm Wraith.

Isabelle screamed as Olimar's group ready for another battle, this time aided by Bowser's group as they haven't left the deck just yet.

Ganondorf begin using his magic to tame the Plasm Wraith, but the creature is trying to resist his power, if anything it realized what Ganondorf is trying to do, and so the beast decided to escape, it shapeshift into a spiky ball and hardened itself and launched itself at full speed, breaking the window as it fell to the ground, with the window broken the air got sucked outside like a vacuum, Greninja the use Ice Beam to freeze and patched the broken window.

"Thanks Greninja, we really need to get that fixed soon." Isabelle thanked the frog Pokemon.

Olimar run towards the window, "I can't believe I didn't notice that thing was following us, at least we don't have to see it for a while...hold on, now that we're in the World of Trophy, defeating it will turn that thing into a trophy..I'm actually looking forward to our next encounter." Olimar said with glee since now there's a permanent way to deal with Plasm Wraith.

Ganondorf can only sighed and proceed to leave, the others seemed to notice he's not in a very good mood.

"Is he okay ? He seems to be a very scary looking man ?" Commented Green.

"He's been like that since we got into fights at Peach Castle." Said Dark Pit. "So you who are you two ? A second thought introduction can wait, there's something we need to do first."

"Wait ! Peach Castle ! Did something a-happened there ?" Asked Luigi.

"Yeah, some guy named Fawful remodeled the entire castle, that place looks more like a haunted house more than anything." Answered Wolf.

"Fawful again ? He really hasn't learned his a-lesson." Said Luigi.

"So are you talking about Ganondorf ? Well he is an evil overlord who once tried to take over the world so yeah.." Answered Olimar to Green.

"I...see, it looks like we'll be seeing a lot of colorful personalities then, there's a turtle monster too, that's not a Pokemon is it ?" Asked Blue.

"No, that's Bowser, he's another overlord from another world." Explained Popo.

After seeing everything, Blue and Green like it or not have to accept their 'unique' situation, but what they don't expect is when they saw Mewtwo.

"Mewtwo !" Shouted both Blue and Green.

Mewtwo turned around and recognized the familiar faces. ("Red's friends, I'm glad you're safe.")

"Safe ! We got sent to another world and got devoured by that slime monster !" Yelled Blue. "And why are you here anyway !?"

("I see, I'm sorry for what I've done, but I have no choice but to obey Giovanni's words.") Mewtwo apologized to the two trainers.

"Look, I don't know what's going on between you three, but Mewtwo's on our side now, it's not under Giovanni's control anymore." Said Olimar, which calmed down Blue and Green, but after what happened it does hard to forgive people easily.

Bowser's group then left the deck as they need to remove Petey Piranha brainwashing.

"Hi there I'm Isabelle, are you two new here ?" Isabelle introduced herself to Blue and Green.

"Whoa a talking animal !" Exclaimed Green.

"I'm just as surprised as you are ! Anyway my name is Blue Oak, and she's my friend Green, we're friends of Red, we got separated after some weird incident." Blue introduced himself.

"I see, well Red's not back yet, but I'm sure he'll be here soon, why don't you wait in the lounge until then." Suggested Isabelle.

"Yeah, we'll introduce you to everyone, let's go now." Popo dragged the two Pokemon trainers and Olimar's group left the bridge.

"Well that's almost everyone, the next one to show up should be..." As Isabelle pondered. Snake's group arrived, and so are Samus's group, both team look dejected.

("The atmosphere seems heavy, I wonder if something happened.") Thought Isabelle. "Is everything okay ?"

"Sorry Isabelle, but no, Nana has been captured by the enemy." Answered Marth in a heavy tone.

"What ! You too !" Exclaimed Peach as the others is also surprised.

"What do you mean too ? Did you also lose someone on your end ?" Asked Snake.

"As for us, Falcon is gone." Stated Samus also with heavy tone.

Isabelle gasped in shock, and the other two groups also had no idea on how to deliver the news to their comrades as the two groups left the deck with Isabelle followed them.

Orphanage

" .." Nana slowly opened her eyes and looking at her surrounding, she seems to be in a bedroom of sorts, she saw multiple beds like the ones in dormitory that houses multiple people in one room.

"I see you're awake." A voice can be heard close by, Nana turned her attention towards the direction of the voice, and she saw a girl with short purple hair wearing a red scarf.

"Who are you ?" Asked Nana who is very suspicious of the girl.

"My name is Reese, and I suppose I should welcome you to our orphanage, although I wish you weren't here, this isn't the kind of place children should be."

"An orphanage ? Where is..." Before Nana can complete her sentence the room door opened, a blonde girl in black clothing, and a large man wearing a horned green mask entered the room.

"Hey Reese, how's the girl doing ? Oh I see she's awake now." Said the blonde girl.

"Clarisse, Legion, welcome back, how was the mission ?" Asked Reese.

"We've succeed without interference, although we didn't like it one bit." Clarisse huffed in an annoyed tone.

"We succeed, brothers helping, making job easier." Said Legion.

Reese trying to congratulate them, but clearly she wasn't happy. "I see, good then, look at us, were brought back to the world only being forced to do more dirty work, serves us right huh ?"

"I don't like it anymore than you do, but what choice do we have, even matron have to do what she did." Added Clarisse.

"Sisters look sad, we not happy if sisters not happy." Stated Legion.

"Too late to grow a heart now don't you think ?" Asked Clarisse with annoyed expression.

"Enough Clarisse, I've noticed when we're brought back, we're not the same person we were when we're still alive, or when we were summoned to that world Askr. We have a chance to start over, I mean Legion can speak correctly and I know he's not broken inside anymore, you're not the heartless assassin you used to be, and Matron isn't..like that too." Reese seemed to have hope for a second chance.

"Even after all this you're still being naive, we're just zombies bound by some higher power, we can't disobey them, not even the Archanean League able to ! Just accept our fate already, normal life was never meant for us in the first place." Replied Clarisse who sees things differently.

Soon after the door opened again, this time a woman with a purple hair wearing a white and purple robe entered the room.

"Lady Eremiya !" Exclaimed Clarisse.

"Welcome back my children, so how is she ? I see you're awake." Said the matron.

("I remember I was defeated, so this must be where they took me, I have to get out of here.") Nana tried to shoot a cold energy, however nothing came out.

"It's pointless, I used my magic to sealed your power, also we confiscate your hammer and golden plate, while you're here, we need you to tell us information about your organization." Explained Eremiya.

"And if I refuse !?" Nana being defiant.

"Then you leave me no choice, take her down to the basement, lock her up until she's ready to talk. Reese, bring her there." Eremiya ordered Reese to imprison Nana, but she's not happy with her order.

"I'm sorry, but I can't disobey." Reese then grab Nana and dragged her to the basement to lock her up.

"Lady Eremiya, is this really alright ?" Asked Clarisse.

"No, Gharnef no longer brainwashed me, and yet I feel so helpless, isn't there anything I can do ?" Eremiya break down and tried to cry, but being a revenant tears will never came out.

S.S Light - Foyer

Everyone finally return from their little detour, learning many things in the process, also there's loss to felt as well, Snake's team wondered how are they going to tell Popo that Nana is captured by the enemy, and Samus's team the same with the loss of Cpt Falcon.

And predictably Popo keep looking around for Nana, seeing that everyone is already returned, some with new people they've never met.

Banjo and Kazooie finally reunite with Donkey Kong after not seeing each other for years.

Red felt relieved that he's finally reunite with Blue and Green after that whole fiasco at the Altar of the Sunne.

"Nana ? Where is she ? Why is she's not here yet ?" Popo starting to get worried.

And then Snake went towards the ice climber, deciding to tell him what happened. "Popo, I'm sorry, but Nana...she got captured by the enemy."

Popo is devastated after hearing the news and lashing out at Snake. "What do you mean she got captured !? Why aren't you protecting her !" Popo's scream is heard by everyone, as they looked at him. Popo then run to his room with tears in his eyes.

"Snake, is that true ? Nana got captured ?" Asked Fox.

"I'm afraid so, we were dealing with sorcerers and...we failed, I should've back her up when Nana is dealing with that sorceress." Said Snake blaming himself.

"A friend of your got captured Red ? But how ?" Asked Green.

"An evil sorcerer used a Stantler's illusion power to abduct children, needless to say we didn't coordinate enough." Answered Red despondently.

"What ! Using a Pokemon powers to commit evil deeds ! That's unforgivable !" Shouted Blue.

"Sorry, I'll explain everything later, I caught a Stantler and I'm going to put it at the Sanctuary, it's that door over there." Red pointed at the lone door.

"Are you sure Red ? The turtle monster guy was heading there earlier with his crew, they look rather scary, oh and Mewtwo is actually here too." Said Green.

"I know, I'll explain everything later." Red leaves his friends and entered the Sanctuary.

After seeing what happened earlier everyone wished to cheer Popo, but it seems it's best to leave it to someone close his age as Lucas and Toon Link went to Popo's room.

S.S Light - Popo's Room

"Hey Popo, we're coming in." Said Lucas as he and Toon Link entered the room.

Popo didn't say anything as he curled up in his bed, still sad at what he just hear.

"We know what you went through, and we just want you to know that we're here for you." Said Toon Link.

Popo turned around and started to talk. "Sorry I lashed out like that, it's just, Nana and I we've been inseparable ever since we first met, the thought of us being separated never occured to me, but here it is, I'm here and she's not."

"And we promise you we will save her, I know how you feel, when I thought I will be living peacefully at my home the Outset Isle, turns out fate says otherwise, my sister got kidnapped by Ganondorf's minion, and me I was just a kid named Link, I didn't inherit the spirit of hero within me, and wouldn't you know it, I ended up taking that role in the end, what I'm saying is it's not too late, I managed to save my sister, so I know we'll be able to save Nana." Toon Link tried to cheer Popo.

"We'll all here with you, I failed to save my brother, but I will do all I can to help you so you don't have to suffer as I did." Added Lucas.

Popo moved by their words, he started crying and hugged his friends. "Thank you you guys, you're right, I can't keep moping around, and Nana I'm sure she can take care of herself."

S.S Light - Monster Sanctuary Forest Section

In the forest section Red pulled out a Poke Ball and released the Stantler he encountered in Hyrule. "This is your home for the time being, I promise to return you back later."

As Red ready to leave he encounter Shulk and Ness.

"Oh hey you two, what are you doing here ?" Asked Red.

"Red ! The person we wanted to see, come here with us !" Shulk and Ness dragged Red to see something.

As they reached their destination Red saw Paras, Parasect, and Victreebels.

"A Paras, Parasect, and Victreebels ? Did you got sent to my world ?" Asked Red.

"No, if anything we got sent to Shulk's world, and we encountered these Pokemons there." Answered Ness.

"How did they ended up in Shulk's world ?" Pondered Red.

"We have no idea too, that's why we took them with us, and maybe return them to their world." Said Shulk.

"I already got that covered, the Parases and Parasects said they came from Ilex Forest, and the Victreebels said they came from Berry Forest." Answered Ness. "Do you know those places Red ?"

"I see, Ilex Forest and Berry Forest, yes I do know about those places, oh an by the way I also found a Pokemon in Hyrule, could you tell me where it's from ?" Red brought Ness and Shulk to meet the Stantler. "This is a Stantler, a reindeer like Pokemon with the power of illusions, could you read it's mind Ness ?"

"Leave it to me." Ness begin to probe Stantler's mind. "Hmm, it's said it come from a small woods near a place called...Ecruteak City ?"

"I see, must be Route 36...hold on." Red starting to realize something. ("Ecruteak City, maybe that could work ?")

"You okay Red ?" Asked Shulk.

"Huh ? Oh yeah I'm fine, just thinking about something, ha..ha." Answered Red nervously.

Monster Sanctuary - Plains

In this part of the Sanctuary is where Bowser chose to remove Petey Piranha's brainwashing. Petey woke up, but is bound and gagged by Bowser's magic so that he can't fight while Mewtwo remove the brainwashing.

"Okay Mewtwo, now fix him with your power !" Ordered Bowser.

Mewtwo nodded and begin using it's powers on the bipedal man eating plant. Petey struggle to break free, but it's pointless as he can't break his restraints. After a few minutes Petey no longer struggling as his mind is now clear.

("I'm done, Petey Piranha should be back to his old self now.") Stated Mewtwo.

Bowser remove his magic, freeing Petey Piranha in the process. "Petey ? Are you back ? Do you remember your real master ?"

Petey Piranha looked at Bowser and begin to kneel before him, Petey said gibberish things, but Bowser able to understand him.

"Hmph, I can't really blame you for this, Fawful is the ones at fault ! Once we got everyone back, we will have our revenge !"

Petey once again spoke with gibberish. But from what he's doing it's clear he's pledging his loyalty to Bowser once again, now that he's freed from the brainwashing.

"Welcome back to the Koopa Troop, and remember, for the time being we're allies with Mario, so don't start unnecessary fights, Cpt. Goomba, I'll have you in charge of the minions." Said Bowser to Cpt. Goomba.

"You can count on me sir !" Cpt. Goomba answered with confidence.

Ganondorf mood is getting worsen as he quickly wanted to leave the Sanctuary.

He reached the door at the same time with Red, Ness, and Lucas, but with his glaring face, the trio looked terrified. Ganondorf opens the door and leave.

"He looks scarier than usual ?" Commented Shulk.

"No kidding, he's not really the kind of person I want to associate with anyway." Said Red.

"True, we only interact with him if we have to." Shulk agreed with Red.

S.S Light - Foyer

Everyone that went in to the Sanctuary went back to the ship.

("Are you sure we're leaving them there ?") Asked Mewtwo.

"They can't understand Petey and he likes it there anyway, and not to mention certain two princesses isn't happy to see him again." Bowser referring to the Subspace incident where Petey put Peach and Zelda in a cage. "Well I'm off for a long bath, I heard the hot springs here is fit for a king !" Bowser and Mewtwo parted ways.

After Ganondorf left the Sanctuary, everyone else noticed his scowling face, but none are willing to talk to him considering what he did in the past, of course when you're responsible for destroying an entire island and killing it's peaceful robotic inhabitants, forgiveness isn't easy.

"Ganondorf is being scary, more than usual." Said Olimar.

"That guy been like this ever since we escape the castle." Replied Wolf.

"So, anyone gonna talk to him ?" Asked Olimar only for Wolf, Roy, and Dedede shake their heads.

Marth however decided to talk to the Gerudo overlord as he noticed Ganondorf headed to the deck.

S.S Light - Deck

Ganondorf is sitting at the ship's deck as there's nobody there at the moment, but soon he will have a company.

"Hey, may I have a seat here ?" Asked Marth.

"Why are you here ? There's no need to waste your time on me." Said the Gerudo king.

Marth took a seat anyway next to Ganondorf. "We're comrades, I can't just leave any of my comrades alone when they have a problem, everyone saw the scary face you made."

"Stop it, just be honest, just like before everyone is reluctant to join forces with me, what everyone is merely doing is tolerating my mere presence and needing my power, they don't trust me, and...I can't blame them for that." Said Ganondorf.

"I..won't deny what you did is easily forgivable, or forgivable in that regards, but I want to believe you changed, and I know you're not the person you used to be." Marth actually having hopes for Ganondorf.

"Honestly, for a king you're too idealistic, but I doubt the archives at the Smash Mansion would lie about your accomplishments, when I looked at it, I just can't believe you managed to gain allies even from enemy nations, but I guess despite that you really know what you're doing, no wonder most the people you've met trust you." Replied Ganondorf.

"What about this ? As fellow kings let's talk about our upbringings, I'll listen even if we were raised differently." Marth statement surprises Ganondorf.

"Heh, very well, as you can see, my race is a Gerudo, an all female race living on the desert, according to legends in every hundred years a male Gerudo will be born, and when he's born he's automatically to be made a king, and then I was born, I have no idea who's my real parents are, I was raised by Koume and Kotake, Gerudo Sorceresses who act as my surrogate mothers. And as a future king I was given all kinds of training, politics, combats, arts, magic, and all sorts of lessons to prepare when the time comes for me to take the throne." Ganondorf begin telling his story.

"I see, I guess I'm the same in those regards, although I have a parents and sister in my case." Said Marth. "But my parents, both were slain during the war, and I don't have time to mourn their deaths, I have to keep putting a brave face in order to quickly end the war."

"I see, the burdens of a ruler, always have put the nation first." Ganondorf paused before continuing with his story. "I soon come to realize something, about how hard it is to live in the desert, in daytime we have to endure scorching winds, and extreme heat from the sun, and at night the winds turned to extreme cold, that's why I vowed to save my people from these conditions, Koume and Kotake told me about the land of Hyrule, and of course, once I arrived there what they said was true, Hyrule is nothing like the desert, but that when it happened, Demise curse is activated within me, and in the end I turned Hyrule into an inhospitable wasteland even worse than the desert, which led Link to kill me, and now that I'm here I received memories from both timelines after my death, am I doomed to be Demise curse manifested ? Or is there even another path for me to take ?"

"Ganondorf I'm very sorry to hear that, you were forced to keep on battling every Link's and Zelda's on every generation." Marth can only feel sorry for Ganondorfs fate as he tried to hold back a tear.

Ganondorf is surprised to see that someone actually willing to shed a tear for him of all people as he continues his story. "What happened earlier was nothing but a mere jealousy towards Bowser, he has his minions brainwashed to fight him, but once they're freed, it's very clear that they completely loyal to him, but me, my people hates me, the future Gerudo sees me as a black mark of the Gerudo history, I know, even if we managed to free them too, their hatred towards me is real."

"I see, as a king myself I also doesn't want for my people to hate me, and I know forgiveness isn't easy, you have to put a lot of effort to make up for what you did in the past, but if it makes you any better, I want to be the first to trust you." Marth offered his hand. "And maybe your people can come to accept you too."

Ganondorf is taken aback by this, but knowing there's a chance to make up for what he did, he reached Marth's hand to show he's serious about atoning as well.

"Thank you, and I'll hold on to your words." Ganondorf shake Marth's hand.

"Right, and now let us go to the hot springs, I think we deserves it." Ganondorf and Marth left the deck to head for the hot springs.

Female Hot Springs

After arriving at the ship Samus went straight here immediately, thinking about what happened to Cpt. Falcon, soon Peach ended up joining her.

"Do you mind some company ?" Asked Peach.

"Not at all, but I don't have anything amusing to talk to if you don't mind." Stated Samus.

"I don't mind, being a bounty hunter must be a very tough job isn't it ?" Asked Peach.

"Yeah, sometimes l also offered mercenary services, I lost many people I care about in some of my jobs, but I expected this to happened." Answered Samus. "And now my allies at the Federation turned against me all because I got in their way of doing dangerous experiments."

"Samus, I had no idea how you're able to endure it all alone all this time, but rest assured because you have us now, and we won't go down so easy !" Exclaimed Peach.

"I don't want to sound too cynical, but our memories of the tournament is erased after we're done, turning us into complete strangers when we're out from the World of Trophy, when I was hiding from the Federation, I encounter Fox, Falco, and Falcon, and I don't remember all three of them, we acted like it's our first time meeting, once this is over will it be any different ?" Questioned Samus.

Peach unable to come up with an answer, but then.."Why don't we convinced Master Hand not to erase our memories, I mean we are trying to rescue them right ? He owes us a lot for that."

"I just hope he'll listen, thanks Peach, for once I have someone to talk to, it feels nice." Samus thanked the princess.

"No problem, we're all friends here !" Exclaimed Peach as she gives Samus a brief hug.

"Don't worry Falcon, we will keep on going and put an end to this threat once and for all, I hope your watching us from there." Said Samus as she looked above.

Male Hot Springs

Marth and Ganondorf head toward the hot spring, they're already naked and about to take a dip, but then turns out a lot of people are inside, there's Bowser, Dedede, Chrom, and Corrin, coincidentally all the kings happen to went inside at the same time.

"Whoa look at those guns down there ! Someone's blessed all the way down there !" Dedede making a 'dirty' joke, which makes Marth embarrassed and Ganondorf can only sighed.

"Can we please not act like teenagers ?" Complained the Gerudo king as Marth and Ganondorf take a dip on the springs.

"Hmm...hold on, now that I take a good look, we're all kings here !" Exclaimed Dedede.

"Yeah, quite the coincidence." Commented Corrin.

"Well in my case I was a king thousand years ago." Stated Marth. "I don't have any country to rule anymore, it's Chrom's turn to rule this time."

"You're too humble Hero King, I clearly have a lot to learn from you." Said Chrom.

"I think you're doing just fine already, I suppose I can give you advice, but you don't have to copy my way of ruling you know." Replied Marth.

"Hmph...what a true king needs is power, how else is he going to repel anyone that against him !" Exclaimed Bowser.

"Be that as it may, obtaining power is not something to take lightly, a brother of my companion sought power, it drove him to kill his own father in the process because he want to make his kingdom a powerful country." Explained Marth.

"I also have to deal with a conqueror from a neghboring continent because of power as well, he have understandable goal, my world is plagued with an evil cultist seeking to revive their evil dragon deity." Said Chrom. "He wanted said power to eliminate those cultist.

"And I have to forcibly admit, because of that humility I know you two are worthy of such power, I may be an overlord, but I will never mistreat my subjects !" Declared Bowser.

"That is how a ruler suppose to act, not just for yourself, but also for your country and people." Added Corrin.

"Say, have any of you wondered what might happen if we all live in the same world ?" Asked Dedede, this question ended up intriguing the other kings.

"That's uhh..unique perspective ?" Questioned Chrom.

"Well I don't know about you, but I'm willing to allied with Hyrule and Mushroom Kingdom." Corrin the first to voice his opinion.

Bowser replying sarcastically. "Oh yeah, and when I kidnap Peach once again, not only I have to deal with Mario, I may have to deal with you or Link too, if you're the kind of king that willing to take matters in his own hands."

"How do you and you're entire army defeated by a mere plumber is beyond me." Snarked Ganondorf.

"And you any different ? A child and a teenager able to kill you !" Exclaimed Bowser.

Ganondorf making up excuses. "That child and teenager receive a goddess blessing, so my defeat is justified."

"If you two started causing trouble in my domain I just have to sic Kirby on you." Said Dedede.

"Does Kirby even work for you ?" Asked Chrom.

"Well he's a citizen of Dream Land, of course it's his duty to protect his king, in fact he does that all the time." Boast Dedede acting like Kirby is working for him.

"Last time I check protecting the king is the soldiers duty, not civilian." Corrected Chrom.

"He is authority in name only, so I'm not surprised he doesn't know that." Mocked Bowser.

Dedede glared at Bowser, offended by the Koopa King remarks. "Hey ! I have authority ! I just...don't need to exercise it that often, because Dream Land never have internal problems, our resources are abundant, if there's any problem it usually came from outside like invaders from other worlds."

"Still, now that I think about it, I guess if we all live in the same world, what about the threats were facing in our own worlds ? I don't want to imagine Medeus and Gharnef planning to revive Grima by working with the Grimleals." Said Marth.

Hearing that the others also realized what would happened if their enemies also live in the same world.

Bowser begin to stroking his chin. "You know I also don't want to imagine Fawful selling his technology to anyone."

"Now did you mentioned it, I have no doubt Hans and Iago interested in otherworldly weapons so that they can inflict pain and suffering to allies and enemies alike, they will convince king Garon to buy those weapons." Added Corrin.

"Ooh let me add something more, Fawful and Haltmann company doing business deals together and mechanize every dangerous creature they can and sell it on the black market !" Said Dedede acting like they're playing a game.

Only for Bowser to smack him into he head. "Don't start giving him any ideas ! The last thing we need for our enemies to form a network of corrupt politicians, arms dealing, corrupt businessman, terrorist, and cultist."

"But isn't that what they're doing right now ?" Asked Chrom.

"Not sure about before, but when we arrived at Peach Castle, some of them are starting to cooperate with one another, they may be starting to do it now." Said Ganondorf.

"Well we're going to have a meeting again right, let's discuss the details there, when all of us done resting." The kings then enjoyed the bath until meeting time.

Orphanage Basement

With Nana refusing to cooperate, Eremiya ordered for her to be locked up in the basement, Reese didn't want to do this, but she has no choice as she cannot defies any orders given to her, she dragged Nana and toss her into the basement, and locked the door.

"Hey ! Let me out ! Please don't do this !" Nana kept on banging the door, begging to be let out.

She then give up in defeat after not hearing anything from the outside. "What's the point, I can't tell them anything about us, I can't give them any info, if only I have my power and hammer, I can escape from here."

Nana then looked around the place, but she can barely see anything as the basement is very dark.

"I just hope they have a light switch in here." Nana tried traversing the basement feeling the walls to see if there's anything resembling a switch.

But as Nana kept in searching a clacking noise can be heard in the dark basement. She stopped and fear slowly griping her. "What was that ? It's just my imagination right ? I'm all alone here right ?"

Unfortunately Nana isn't alone in the basement, as she turned around she saw three pairs of red eyes, as the figures getting close she saw three scary looking wooden puppets, their face tilted 90 degree to the left wearing some kind of wooden necklace adorned with feathers, and tattered cape on it's back. Nana widen her eyes and scream out loud.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh !" Nana runs round the basement trying to avoid the puppets who are following her, without her powers and hammer she doesn't have any other fighting method, and because of not knowing where to go she ended up cornered by the three puppets.

"What should I do ? I don't have my powers and my hammer, is this it for me ?" Nana close her eyes in fear, but then she remembered something. "Hold on, there's something else I can do, it may not be like Mario, but I'm just as capable." Nana remembered her jumping ability as she jumped and step on the puppet face, since the eyes is bright red, it already a giveaway where the head is.

Nana escape from being cornered, as the puppets chase the ice climber again, Nana then jumped at the puppet face again, this time she's staying in the puppet face, forcing it to shake Nana away, with the other puppets tried to after Nana, she jumped again, causing the three puppets to flailing at each other, damaging one another.

With Nana victorious she heard another voice, another figure went closer to Nana, he has red eyes, he wore a red hat, and red clothing as well. The figure then introduced himself.

"My name is Skull Kid, and that was impressive ! How you're able to trick my puppets like that ! Although they did ended up being broken." Lamented Skull Kid.

"Well I had to, those things tried to attack me !" Yelled Nana.

"No they weren't, they're suppose to guide you in this darkness !" Retorted Skull Kid. "Honestly, everyone that see my puppets ended up screaming for some reason."

"Maybe they have scary designs, have you ever think of creating a less creepy puppets, like rabbits, they're adorable." Suggested Nana, before realizing why is she speaking casually.

"Wait ! You're the enemy ! Why am I talking like this !?" Exclaimed Nana.

"I don't know what you're talking about ? I'm only here because I thought I can make some new friends since this is an orphanage, I'm looking to meet the children here, the matron lady said they like dark places and puppets, but all they do is screaming and crying when they got here." Skull Kid is oblivious as to why the kids are crying and screaming.

"Wait so you're not with the Neo Subspace Army ?" Asked Nana.

"Neo Subspace Army ? I don't know what is that ? Some kind of army ?" Skull Kid reveals he doesn't know anything.

"Then how did you got here ?" Asked Nana.

"I don't know why either, I just somehow woke up in Korok Forest, I was wondering around until I saw a building here, the matron talk to me and she give me this room to play with the other children." Explained Skull Kid which Nana completely dumbfounded by Skull Kid's naivety.

"I see, look Skull Kid, did you ever realize you were lied to ?" Asked Nana grabbing her forehead. "I mean no children like dark and dreary places like this, and they certainly don't like creepy puppets either."

"Really ? You think she tricked me ? I knew I should've known better than to trust adults !" Skull Kid is getting angry. "No wonder everyone begging to be let out of here !"

"So Skull Kid, you said we're in Korok Forest, which means we're in Hyrule right ?" Asked Nana.

"Yes." Answered Skull Kid.

"Do you know Link ?" Hearing that name Skull Kid is filled with nostalgia.

"Of course I do ! He's my best friend, he saved me from that evil mask !" Exclaimed Skull Kid with joy.

"I knew it, when you first introduce yourself I wonder if you really the Skull Kid Link tell us about ? He did say you were possessed by an evil mask." Stated Nana.

"So how do you know Link ?" Asked Skull Kid.

"It's a long story, but rest assured Link and I are friends." Answered Nana.

"Really ? Well a friend of Link is a friend of mine too !" Skull Kid is very excited to make a new friend.

"Anyway my name is Nana, and if you want to see Link again, we need to leave this place, if only my powers wasn't sealed, and I still have my hammer." Said Nana.

"Sealed huh ? Let me help you with that." Skull Kid used his magic to remove the seal on Nana, activating her ice powers again, she conjure up a cold energy on her hand.

"My powers are back ! Thanks Skull Kid ! And you did say other children, I'm here to save then as well, I could really use your help on this !"

"Of course I'm always happy to help a friend."

"First things first, we need to retrieve my hammer and golden plate, we need those in order to go back to my home base !" Explained Nana.

With that settled Nana and Skull Kid prepare to leave the orphanage.

S.S Light - Conference Room

After everyone done resting they all headed to the conference room, this time everyone is included as they're gotten involved anyway, luckily the room is big enough to fit everyone.

"Everyone I thank you for gathering, as we're going to plan our next move." Said R.O.B.

"Everyone I wanted to say I'm sorry, because of my poorly chosen words Dracula's army also back." Said Lucina apologizing to everyone. Lucina already explained to everyone that she's the baby they just saw, magically aged up thanks to the agreement between parallel Lucina and Tiki.

"It's alright Lucina, none of us blaming you for this, if anything we just have to give it our all to succeed." Assured Rosalina.

Next Samus is raising her hand. "I also have something to say." Samus told everyone about the place they went and what happened hearing Cpt. Falcon died, everyone is at loss for words, especially to the original twelve.

"Falcon is a-gone ?" Mario is at a loss for words hearing the bad news.

Next Snake's group also apologize for being unable to safe Nana. Some wish to rescue her, but on the other hand no one knew where she is, her golden plate isn't active so there's no way to locate her.

But the meeting must go on as a lot is at stake, everyone have to focused on their objective for the time being.

"I know that when something like this happened, a loss is expected, but we need to focus on the task at hand." Stated Samus which everyone nodded.

Before anyone can say anything Marth interjected. "So does anyone saw Caeda ?"

"Come to think of it we didn't saw her when Sumia give birth." Explained Donbe.

Hearing this Espeon went closer to Marth and used telepathy to reveal everything, that Caeda is also a revenant working for the Neo Subspace Army.

Marth understandably shocked. "No...that...can't be it...right ? Caeda is...with them.." Marth is shocked by the revelation.

"Caeda is with the enemy ? Does that mean what happened with Emmeryn was all planned ?" Said Chrom in calm anger, but he quickly relent as he knows he can't blame this on Caeda. "This isn't her fault, it's the Neo Subspace Army who are at fault !"

"I'm sorry, but we need to move on, we can deal with Marth's wife later, anyone willing to go first ?" Asked R.O.B.

(TP)Zelda raised her hand. "I'll go first, Roy, Ike, Pichu, Peepers, and me arrived in a place called Lazulis Island, while there we caught Master Wizard and Salome abducting a sorcerer of that world, presumably to include them into their ranks. Lazulis Island is a world where none of us are from, but we can't let them do whatever they want and turned a blind eye to it." Explained Zelda.

"The same thing happened to us !" Exclaimed Pit. "Akmodan II also trying to recruit an oasis chieftain to be a part of Dracula's army, but we managed to put a stop to it."

"An oasis chieftain ? Sounds very low on the hierarchy of power, guess Dracula's army is getting desperate then..hahaha..." Mocked Bowser.

"Say what you will Bowser, but we've seen the kid on action, let's just say he earned the title, if anything he managed to survive on a cave full of monsters." Ryu defending Tethu.

"Yeah, and that cave is also full of quicksand, and it only have glowing corals for light source, not to mention the vine like monster coming out from said quicksand." Added Young Link, however what he said ended up intriguing some other smashers.

"Wait ? Glowing corals ? Dark cave ? Mmm, did the cave somehow turned purple when monsters show up ?" Asked Sheik.

"Why yes it does Sheik, but how do you know that ? Could it be you also arrived at the same world we are ?" Realized Young Link.

"Well what you said does fit the description of the world we visit, such as quicksand, vine monster appearing on that quicksand, and room turned purple when monsters showed up, and oh get this, there's also glowing fossils deeper into the cave !" Exclaimed Sonic.

"As impressive as it sounds we didn't go that far, but we did reached outside, you should see the oasis, it's full of greenery !" Said Pit.

("Okay this is getting off track, but what's clear is Dracula's army is also spotted in that world, but you managed to stop him correct ?") Asked Lucario.

"We do, but what he said afterwards does make sense, he said Galeem's unsealing is inevitable, should he be freed, are we strong enough to defeat him ?" Pit told everyone what Akmodan II said, hearing this they don't know what to say either, but then...

"Of course that's what you'll do !" Palutena appeared in holographic form, signifying her return.

"Lady Palutena ! You're back !" Exclaimed Pit excitedly.

"Wait we are !?" Dedede shocked by Palutena's abrupt answer.

"Yes, most of you have faced countless adversaries before and all of you always prevail despite the hardship you went through, there's beings like Nightmare, Medeus, Dark Matter, Grima, Ashera, Ridley, Gorea, Mother Brain, Hades, Bowser and Ganondorf also included but you all managed to win, and the same also goes with Galeem, granted he's not an easy opponent, but with all of you combined I know you will prevail once again !"

Hearing Palutena's words build up confidence in the smashers, believing they stood a chance.

"Yeah that's right ! Just like my battles with Andross ! He may have experimented in himself, but I still got the upper hand !" Exclaimed Fox.

"Let's not forget the Aparoid Queen !" Added Falco.

"Of course, those blasted invaders think they can win but we showed them !" Fox and Falco high five.

"Oh right I almost forgot, I also find this inside the cave." Sonic show off the Beanstar piece. "Makes a good souvenir, especially when we have to fight a giant scorpion to get it."

Seeing the Beanstar piece Peach gasped in shock. "Sonic ! You found that there ? That's a Beanstar piece !? It's a treasure from Beanbean Kingdom, and whoever wield it able to grant any wish !"

Sonic is also surprised to see he landed himself a very important item. "Hah I knew I was right to take this thing !"

"Hey I was there when that thing split to pieces ! So it got sent to other world huh ?" Said Wario.

"King K. Rool tried to steal this thing right ? It must be a mission from Neo Subspace Army." Said Donkey Kong.

"That's what Red said when he overheard from the outside." Stated Wario.

"Either way we got the first piece, four more and we can restore the Beanstar, once that happened we can make a wish." Explained Peach. "But it only worked for someone who is pure of heart, if not the Beanstar is only going to be split to pieces again."

"Then we can guarantee the villains are unable to use it." Stated Red.

"No, hopefully they haven't recorded anyone's voice just yet." Said Peach.

"Okay next up is me." Volunteered Corrin. "I got sent to Hoshido, a country located in the eastern part of the continent, in there we encountered the Rathalos."

"That dragon again !" Olimar standup on his seat.

"Yeah, and not only that a Chaos Emerald also appeared there, not to mention my deceased parents also there tasked by Neo Subspace Army to capture Rathalos, and one other thing, the Chaos Emerald also summoned Ridley." Explained Corrin.

"What ! Ridley is there !?" Hearing that name makes Samus angry.

"He did, Charizard fought against both Ridley and Rathalos, fighting to claim the emerald, well Charizard fighting Ridley for the emerald at least, and also after the battle almost over Ridley grab Sakura and threatened to kill her." Said Meta Knight, and hearing that Corrin is filled with anger.

"Ridley, he tried to did that..to Sakura ?" Corrin speak in a repressed anger. "But I saw Sakura is fine after I leave the fort, does that mean he failed ?"

"Yes, in the previous tournament Sonic often talk about the Chaos Emeralds, his knowledge is the reason for me to know how to use it and banish Ridley using the emeralds power." Explained Meta Knight. "I doubt Ridley is one to be trusted, that is why I decided to use the emerald power against him rather than giving it to him."

"You made the right choice Meta Knight, knowing Ridley he'll kill Corrin's sister anyway once he got what he wants." Samus agreed with Meta Knight decision.

"That's right, keep showering me with compliments, I saved the day again even though I wasn't even there." Sonic really boasting a lot about himself.

"Well anyway, a figure in blue hair and white hood whisk away my parents, I don't know who he is, but he's got to be affiliated with Neo Subspace Army." Continued Corrin, unbeknownst to him Lilith is making a worried face as she knows who that man is.

"It's my turn now." Said Samus as she placed the bag of drugs in the table. "The world that I went is alternate future, where 90% of the population of humanity is wiped out, but that's not what I'm going to talk about, I have this, there's drugs inside this bag, this isn't a problem we're supposed to handle, but I've heard the seller isn't human, that's what got us interested in this drug case." Samus pull one out and it's shaped like a red colored orb.

Seeing it surprised both Shulk and Mario.

"Let me see that !" Demanded Shulk as he takes a closer look on the drug. "There's no doubt about it, this is a red pollen orb, this drug came from my world."

"Are you a-sure Shulk, because i see that too on Earth with Little Mac and Kirby !" Exclaimed Mario. "That color and shape ! There's a-no mistaking it !"

"That can't be ! How's a drug from my world ended up on Earth and alternate future Earth ? Don't tell me Bana is a part of Neo Subspace Army ? R.O.B ! Is there a Nopon named Bana over there !?" Questioned Shulk.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know, Tabuu doesn't trust me, so I never had the chance to meet all of their members." Answered R.O.B.

"This Bana is a drug lord then ?" Asked Chelsea.

"That's right, his goal is profit at all cost, no matter who got hurt in the process, but if he is involved in this, how is he able to do all this ?" Shulk is at a loss.

"Yeah, I think I can answer that." Said Dark Pit. "We overheard that there's dimensional pathways created to allow easy travel between worlds, but how that happened we don't know."

"I do." Said Palutena which turned everyone attention at her. "I ended up with Death, and he told me that Neo Subspace Army forced Palkia to mess around with space, I see that's what he meant by that, and also that's the reason why all of us ended up returned scattered to different worlds instead of appearing together in one place. Lucina, I can tell your not the Lucina we travelled with to the Dragon Palace, but you do have the memories of parallel Lucina, would you like to explain ?"

"Yes, when I made that wish to the Zeekeeper I felt heavy shaking, I thought it's just a regular earthquake." Answered Lucina.

"You felt it too ? We also felt it even though we're up in the sky." Added Tails.

"Then that's it, the moment your wish is granted happened at the same time when Palkia forced to tampered with space." Revealed Palutena.

"Palkia, the pokemon of space, so they have it under their control." Said Red.

"Palkia is that pokemon that appeared on the Spear Pillar stage right ?" Asked Falco.

"Yes, even though that's not the real Palkia and more of a stage hazard, that's what it looks like and it's power is nothing like the real one, Palkia had the power to control space and dimensions, it's said to be worshipped as a god in ancient times." Explained Red.

"Speaking of space, could that what brought those Pokemons to Makna Forest ?" Asked Ness. "Maybe they accidentally stumbled into a portal and ended up there ?"

"It's possible, but that doesn't change the fact that Dracula's minions took advantage of the situations, they experimented on Pokemons called Parasects, using their spores to create some kind of mind control potions." Explained Shulk. "The Nopons at Frontier Village ended up under their control."

"There's a lot you can do with Parasect spores, you can even make a metal dissolving potion with it." Explained Red.

"Well if what Ness said is true then, there might be a pathway between Makna Forest on Bionis, Ilex Forest on Johto, and Berry Forest on Sevii Island.

"*Groan* looks like what we imagined might be a reality after all." Groaned Bowser.

"What you imagined ?" Asked Ike.

"Think about it ! Dimensional pathways between worlds ! Did you really think they're just gonna use it for mere traveling purposes ? They could use it for escape route, smuggling route, etc." Explained Bowser.

"Come to think of it, that does make sense, I won't be surprised if Giovanni is smuggling Pokemons to other worlds." Stated Red.

"But what good does that for him ? Money from other worlds is practically worthless." Pointed out (TP)Link.

"Either Neo Subspace Army pool their resources together by creating some kind of universal ATM or Giovanni got paid with something else like gold, either way he also have access to otherworldly weaponry." Answered Red.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Bayonetta, when we investigate those drugs, we've met your friend Jeanne, apparently students at her school got caught using the red pollen orb drugs." Said Little Mac. "We kinda hope she help us, but she's prioritizing her students at the moment."

"I see, she's always willing to go to any lengths to protect her students, well since we're investigating the same case I'm sure we will ran into each other again." Replied Bayonetta.

"We also met a police officer named Chun Li, she said Ryu and Ken got involved in world travelling shenanigans again." Said Kirby.

"Ah you've met Chun Li too huh ? Yeah that's right, honestly somehow we always gets involved in things like this for some reason." Ken pretty much accept his life is anything but normal.

"Also it's not much, but can you let Tooty stay here for a while, an evil witch is after her to make herself beautiful." Said Diddy.

"Honestly I don't mind giving her to Gruntilda." Snarked Kazooie.

"Shut up you ugly bird !" Tooty smacked the Breegull.

"Anyway, Gruntilda seemed to join the Neo Subspace Army, we saw her accepting Laura's invitation." Added Pac-Man.

"That ugly witch will never miss the chance to spread chaos and mayhem, now that she can do it in a universal scale of course she would do it." Stated Kazooie.

"Ahem, so next I would like to share what I found out, I would like to show you this." Olimar's golden plate creating holographic images of Slime and King Slime. "I'm not sure if this is relevant, but does anyone know a creature like this ? I'm pretty sure it isn't PNF-404 native."

"Olimar, where did you find this ?" Palutena went closer to see the images.

"I got sent to PNF-404, what about it Lady Palutena ?" Asked Olimar.

"But this can't be...is one of them reviving, or is the war over ? Dragonlord ? Zoma ? Malroth ? No that can't be Malroth changed his ways, Corvus ? Mortamor ?" Palutena mumbling to herself.

"Lady Palutena ? Are you alright ? This creatures ? Are they really that serious ?" Questioned Pit.

"Oh, no sorry Pit, but I there's no point in holding back information, this creature is called a Slime and King Slime, they're a native of Nadiria, a location in underworld, they usually only appearing in human world when a demon lord is either awakening or aiming to invade other worlds, but right now Nadiria is in the middle of civil war as the current demon lord is recently slain, the powerful families are fighting to be the next demon lord." Explained Palutena. "It looks like I have to speak to Rubiss later."

"So does that mean we'll be encountering another powerful enemy ? From a world we don't know ?" Asked Peach.

"It's a possibility, I just hope those Slimes are just stray monsters, and nothing from their world is involved in all this." Answered Palutena.

"And on our part there has been abduction of children on Hyrule, the culprit is the sorcerer Gharnef, someone's Marth very familiar with, but for what we didn't know." Explained Snake. "Any theory I have is anything but good, creating child soldiers are one of it."

("Hmm...child soldiers, it's possible, but could it be...?") After hearing Snake's theory Marth begin to realize something, but he can't draw a conclusion without evidence until..

Popo's golden plate begin buzzing, Popo quickly pull it out from his pocket and touch it's surface, a holographic image appears which surprised everyone. "Nana !" Shouted Popo.

Orphanage - Basement

Nana and Skull Kid begin to plan their course of action.

"Okay so how do we do it ?" Asked Skull Kid.

"If anything I wished to avoid arousing suspicion, I wanted to leave this place, but what if I got caught ? I know they're going to do much worse than locking me down here." Explained Nana.

"Hmm, how about this ? I use one of my puppets to do it ?" Suggested Skull Kid.

"Are you sure ? They're making noises when they move earlier." Said Nana.

"Don't worry, I can fix that, and also I can use my magic to let me see through my puppets eyes." Revealed Skull Kid.

"Oh really ? so it's like a drone then when you attached a camera to it !" Exclaimed Nana.

"Uhhh yeah sure." Skull Kid had no idea what Nana talked about seeing Hyrule isn't exactly what you called modern.

With that Nana went to the door and placed her ear on the door trying to find out if there's anyone outside or not. "Okay I didn't hear anyone outside."

Skull Kid then create his puppet outside the basement door and wander through the orphanage.

"Okay Nana, here." Skull Kid used his magic on Nana allowing her to see what the puppet see as well.

"This is incredible !" Exclaimed the ice climber.

"Thanks, Majora thinks he used me, but I also took enough power from that thing too." Skull Kid reveals he also took some of Majora's power for himself.

"Anyway, why don't we check the storage room first, I saw it on the way when Reese dragged me down here." Said Nana as the puppet went to the storage room, with Skull Kid controlling it.

Soon the puppet arrived at the storage room, the orphanage is empty for some reason.

The puppet opened the door and entered the storage room.

The puppet looked around until it saw a wooden hammer.

"There it is ! My hammer !" Exclaimed Nana.

"Okay, leave it to me !" Skull Kid placed his hand forward which his puppet also did and teleport the hammer back to Nana.

"I got it back ! Now all it's left is my golden plate ! It's small and rectangular and have gold coloring." Nana describing the golden plate.

Skull Kid nodded and have the puppet to look for the object fitting Nana's description, but so far after many searching, there isn't anything like that. "That's weird, if there's gold in here it shouldn't be hard to find."

"Maybe the golden plate is in another room ?" Pondered Nana.

"Could be, but where ?" Asked Skull Kid.

"It's a very important object, so I say the matron's room." Guessed Nana. "Why don't we try there ?"

"Okay, let's try there !" Skull Kid commanded the puppet to leave the storage room and head to the matron's room.

The puppet walked all over the orphanage, but there isn't a single soul to be seen.

"I know I shouldn't complain but why is this place is empty ?" Commented Nana.

"That's weird, there were a lot of kids here yesterday, could they be sent elsewhere or something ?" Questioned Skull Kid.

As the puppet kept on moving a slightly opened door can be seen, and it seems to be the matron's room. The puppet take a peek to find Eremiya conversing with her wards.

Eremiya's Room

Eremiya is discussing something with her wards.

"So according to Gharnef, they're forces is no doubt will be split, and that's where we will strike." Explained Eremiya.

"I don't know if I can do this." Said Reese reluctantly.

"What does it really matter ? We have no wills of our own, all we can do is to obey what we were told, no more no less." Replied Eremiya dejectedly.

"So guess we need to plan and coordinate our attacks with the Archanean League then ? whatever let's just get this over with." Replied Clarisse.

Nana and Skull Kid overheard the conversation.

"When our army is split ? Are they planning an attack that require us to divide our forces ?" Questioned Nana.

"That maybe what their planning, what now Nana ? The matron's room isn't empty." Asked Skull Kid.

"What we need is distraction." Answered Nana.

"Leave that part to me !" Skull Kid channel his power through his puppet, the puppet conjure a dark energy orb and throw it at the lower floor, creating a loud explosive noise, this distracts Eremiya and her wards as they leave the room and head to the sound of explosion.

Since the puppet hide in the opposite direction, the four of them didn't notice the puppet as it sneak inside Eremiya's room.

"There !" Nana pointed the golden plate is in the desk. "Honestly she's very careless, but makes things easier for me."

"Hold on, I have an idea." Skull Kid come up with a cunning plan to replace the golden plate with a fake. Skull Kid used his magic to create a fake golden plate, place it on the desk and take the real one. After that Skull Kid teleport the puppet back into the basement.

Orphanage - Basement

The puppet returned and Nana grabbed the golden plate back. "Thank you Skull Kid, and now I have to really this info to my friends." Nana activate her golden plate and contact Popo.

S.S Light - Conference Room

"Nana where are you !? Are you okay !? I'm so glad you're okay !" Popo felt relieved to see his friend safe.

"I'm fine, I had help." Nana pulled Skull Kid next to her. "Everyone this is Skull Kid."

"Skull Kid !?" Shouted Young Link.

"Link ! Is that you ! This isn't a dream right !? It's really you !" Skull Kid clearly miss his best friend.

"This is really me, the afterlife is such a huge place, I'm unable to meet you." Stated Young Link.

"But we'll reunited again, that's enough for me." Replied Skull Kid.

Nana then resume talking. "So anyway, I'm at a place called the orphanage, it's confirmed this is where the children are taken to, but we're unable to find anyone here." Explained Nana.

"An orphanage ?" Questioned Snake.

"Yes, apparently this facility is run by a woman anmed Eremiya." After Nana said that name Marth fear is realized.

"Did you say Eremiya !?" Exclaimed Marth as he jumped from his seat.

"Marth, do a-you know this Eremiya ?" Asked Mario.

"Yes, she's an orphanage matron, but she take in war orphans and raised them to be assassin's and killers." Explained Marth.

"I see, like a facility for raising child soldiers." Commented Snake, everyone is clearly disgusted by what they hear.

"Yes, but the truth is much more than that, when we finally defeat her, she begged Gharnef for help, and it turns out Eremiya only acted like that from Gharnef brainwashing, in her dying moments Gharnef released his mind control on Eremiya forcing her to remember the horrible things she's done, and he only laughed at her suffering." Marth explained in an calm anger.

Samus also filled with anger she slams her fist on the table. "And I thought Ridley is a psychopath, turns out there's more like him out there." Samus also then repressing her anger.

Palutena hearing this come to understand what Death said to her. ("It's true some of these people suffered, and by circumstances beyond their control, so they ended up manipulated by dark forces in turn, it looks like this is really is the way.")

"Everyone, what I'm about to say may be not deity like, but there is a way to save them." Palutena then received everyone's attention.

"We have to beat Thanatos right !" Exclaimed Pit.

"No, because that's going to take long time, since these revenants are crucial to Neo Subspace Army objectives the Underworld Palace will be heavily protected. Hades will surely won't play around to stop us for good, so what I'm trying to say is resurrecting them is the only way, Thanatos doesn't have power over the living, they won't be bound by his control anymore !" Revealed Palutena.

The room is filled with silence as no one knows how to react.

Marth is the first to break silence. "Resurrecting them ? Is that really the right way ?"

"I know there's some concerns about this, but yes, if we don't do this Neo Subspace Army will continue to use them against you, not only they will succeed in freeing Galeem, they also give your enemies a second chance to successfully complete their plan which any of you have thwarted in your adventures." Replied Palutena. "Also for your allies this also serves as a chance for them to find redemption."

"Redemption huh ?" Murmured Corrin. "Saving mother and father, maybe I can save Queen Arete for Azura as well ?"

"The people we met in Askr, the same thing happened to some people, but their resurrection is only temporary, once our mission in Askr is over all of us went back to our world, but this..." Murmured Robin.

"I understand my suggestion is divisive, so I will allow all of you to think about it, and discuss it amongst yourselves." Stated Palutena.

"Umm...I also wanted to point out something else, I overheard that Neo Subspace Army is planning something, I don't know what it is, but it may require all of you to divide your forces, and when that happened they will sent an army to attack, i think she called them Archanean League." Once again Marth is shocked by what Nana said.

"Archanean League ! Are you sure !?" Exclaimed Marth as he left in disbelief.

"Archanean League ? Isn't that..."

"Yes Chrom, that's what we called ourselves, the Archanean League is a coalition I've made to defeat Dohlr Empire ruled by Medeus, people from Altea, Talys, Grust, Gra, Archanea, Aurelis, and Macedon joined forces for a common cause.

"Once again I'm impressed, you managed to bring so many people to your cause, including from enemy nations." Complimented Ganondorf.

"And now those people are going to be used against Marth ?" Asked Meta Knight. "Turning his companions to enemies like that is unforgivable."

("They did this to Marth, will they going to do this to me too ? Lilina, Wolt, Marcus, or father ? Are they going to make me turned my blade at them too ?") Murmured Roy.

Likewise Ike have the same concern, he may have to find himself fighting his mercenary family, his Laguz and Beorc allies he made during his quest.

"Thanks for the info Nana, thanks to you we don't have to worry about surprise attacks, we'll be able to prepare when they attack us." Marth thanked the ice climber.

"Nana when will you come back with us ?" Asked Popo.

"I'm sorry, but I'm staying here for a while, I need to find out more info to help you guys." Answered Nana.

"I'll be with her so don't you worry !" Assured Skull Kid.

"Okay Skull Kid, but when you're done join us okay ?" Asked Young Link.

"You got it ! It looks like you're involved in something fun !" Exclaimed Skull Kid as Nana cutoff communication.

"I'm glad Nana is fine, I also must keep my spirits up !" Popo spirits is now lifted.

"Okay so, what conclusion can we draw from all this ?" Asked Palutena.

"Let me." Robin speak up. "We now know children in Hyrule is abducted to be sent to an orphanage where they most likely be trained into child soldiers."

"That orphanage us run by Eremiya, with her there, I should expect her top assassins Clarisse, Katarina, and Legion, Katarina or her real name Reese once a part of my army, she was tasked to kill me, but she had a change of heart in the process." Added Marth.

"And Marth army is going to be used against us in a plot that require us to divide our forces." Added Meta Knight.

"The enemy is creating a dimensional pathway to travel to other worlds easily, do you think that's how they're going to bring Archanean League here ?" Asked Dark Pit.

"It's possible, World of Trophy is inaccessible from the outside thanks to it's strong dimensional barrier, but with further tampering with space has weakened it significantly, that's why that dimensional quake can be felt here as well." Added Palutena.

"And those pathway seemed to have linked Makna Forest with Ilex Forest and Berry Forest." Added Red. "Of course that's still just a theory."

"Just like us Dracula's army got scattered all over the world, and they seemed to have recruited some people to join them." Pointed out Diddy.

"And doing unknown experiments." Added Shulk.

"The Beanstar piece that Sonic found, we saw Akmodan II find it first before we attack him, and that piece landed in a world none of us are from." Added Pit.

"King K. Rool attack the Beanbean Kingdom to get his hands on that star, obviously to grant whatever he wish for." Said Wario.

"And he somehow kidnapped all of our families !" Exclaimed DK.

"My parents are there on Hoshido, tasked to capture Rathalos, which means Neo Subspace Army have an interest in the creature." Added Corrin.

"And in PNF-404 creature from completely different world showed up there." Stated Olimar.

"The drug that Mario and I found came from Bionis, most likely produced by a drug lord named Bana." Added Samus.

"This turned out to be such a huge network." Stated Robin.

"But we're the only ones who a-know of it, and we can't let them wreak havoc with a-whatever it is they're doing !" Exclaimed Mario.

"You're right, so the first thing we do..." Before Robin can continue, a holographic projection of Death appeared in the room."

"Death !" Shouted Richter.

"It's alright, I vouch Death isn't here to cause trouble." Defended Palutena.

"How do you...?" Asked Richter before he's interrupted.

"Though our methods differ, I still want the same thing you do, the defeat of Galeem, and I realized my method isn't the right way to do it." Said Death.

"Given up on bringing back Dracula ?" Asked Richter sarcastically.

"No, but I shouldn't forced him to take that role, if he's going to be the Dark Lord, Soma have to do it willingly." Answered Death. "Anyway I have an interesting info all of you need to hear." Death begin to tell what he learned.

Dark Million Battleship - Black Shadow Chamber

Somewhere in space there's a huge battleship, which is the base of Dark Million, an evil organization led by Black Shadow, an enemy of Cpt. Falcon.

Inside there's a man dressed in black from head to toe, with a mask that possess horn like decoration, and also a black cape, but he's not alone as in front of him there's another figure, he's wearing a red cape, and seemed to have robotic like mask, everything in him is completely covered up making it ambiguous whether he's a human or not. He's standing with a figure in black cloak, the same one worn by Warriors of Fallen Stars.

"This is going to be your new subordinate Black Shadow, with him on your side I expect no more screw ups !" Threatens the red caped figure. "You should be grateful I brought you back to life so you don't have to be Thanatos puppet."

"Of course Lord Deathborn, your mercy will never be forgotten." After that Deathborn left the chamber.

"Accursed devil ! One of these days I will end you for good." Black Shadow revealed his disdain toward Deathborn, once he put of earshot. "Now then let see who we have underneath that robe." Black Shadow remove the robe, and when he see the one underneath it he's shocked beyond belief, followed by a maniacal laughter.

"Hahahahahaha...oh this is beyond my expectations ! To think you of all people will be my loyal underling who's going to obey my every command ! I'm looking forward to our cooperation Captain Falcon."


And done, wow this got to be the longest one I've ever written.

Dark Million is an organization lead by Black Shadow, but that's from the anime, the game doesn't seem to mention whether Black Shadow have organizations or not, but let's just go with this, and I assure you the other F-Zero characters personality will be based on the games.

In Dragon Quest some games stated monsters aren't native to human world, while in other games stated monsters exist in the same world as humans, in this fic I'm going to go with monsters came from Nadiria rather than from human world, it also shows while there are friendly monsters, they're in the minority while majority is hostile to humans.

Bana in Xenoblade is a character from a side quest involving drug distribution.

For remainder since Ganondorf have been freed from Demise curse after his defeat on Twilight Princess, and since he's brought back to life, he's not cursed therefore can chose not to be evil.
