Underworld Castle - Grand Hall

This chapter takes place before the Neo Subspace Army is formed, and will be focused on the Warriors of Fallen Stars and the villains.

In the Grand Hall of Underworld Castle Death is seen with Hades and Thanatos.

"So that was your voice speaking to me earlier ? And you want me to believe you can bring Lord Dracula back ?" Death still unconvinced. "I've seen what happened, he's gone, he's reincarnated to a different person now."

"We know, Soma Cruz right ? But so what ? All he needs to do is accept his role as the next Dark Lord and the forces of the night is restored, problem solved." Replied Hades.

"And you're going to help me with this ? Why ?" Death is skeptical at the Underworld Deities.

Thanatos wrapped his arms on Death shoulder acting all buddy buddy. "Death buddy, there's no need to be so wary, as Deities who rule over deaths we got to stick together and help each other out."

Death is still unconvinced as he can only stare at Thanatos.

Thanatos then let go of his hand. "Okay fine, listen about what were about to say as it will shocks you." Thanatos explained why he recruited Death, and of course the skeletal God answered with shock and disbelief.

"YOU WHAT ! GALEEM ! SHOULD THAT THING BE FREE WE'RE ALL DOOMED !"

"Uugh enough with the screaming, it's not like we wanted to do this either, but Tabuu contacted us and drafted us into his army." Hades casually remark.

"Tabuu ? Wasn't he vanquished by those people chosen by Master Hand ?" Asked Death.

"He did, but somehow he survived, and apparently that light has revived us, and he took the chance to roped us into it." Answered Thanatos.

"I would've assumed you two refuse to work for him, and yet..."

Hades then interjected Death. "Of course we won't, but it seems he's under Galeem's protection, we tried fighting him, but whatever we do he's unharmed by our power."

"I see, now that would makes sense why you're working for him." Death strokes his chin.

"We know, imagine the Lord of Underworld have to end up being someone's subordinate, this is even more humiliating then my defeat at the hands of Pitty Pat, worse still Medusa was laughing so hard at my misery earlier." Lamented Hades.

"At least you fall to an angel, we fell to human hands time and time again." Lamented Death.

"Well those Belmont's are under the blessings of Great Will, so I'm sure you know where I'm going with this." Said Thanatos.

"Back to topic why are you recruiting me ?" Asked Death.

"Simple, we need your power over death, we will create an army of undead, but we will select only the worthy souls, Warriors of the past, men and women who achieved many great things since time immemorial, and we will have them under our service, I called it Warriors of Fallen Stars, the heroes embodies the bright star representing hope against evil, and the villains embodies the dark star representing despair that they brought to their world." Explained Thanatos.

"If that's all you need, then why drag me along ? Thanatos you have the same kind of power I do, and another thing, for the heroes, should we take the souls from Heaven we will incur the wrath of the heavenly gods." Stated Death as there's a severe consequences for their actions, "you know if you used me as scapegoat I can just informed them of your involvement as well, i will take you down with me !"

"Relax, that's not why we need you for, it's true Thanatos can do what you do, but it's also true that we wanted to help reunite you with Dracula, and besides Galeem's freedom means this is your problem too, but what if should Galeem is freed Dracula is there to stop him, after all after numerous death and rebirth he should be getting even more stronger should he ?" Asked Hades.

"What are you...?" Hades then shushed Death as he continues explaining.

"Let me make it obvious, with a threat like Galeem then Soma will have to embrace his Dark Lord mantle, he becomes Dracula once again, and he will lead his forces to victory against Galeem, and of course we will offer our cooperation as well, after all like you said Galeem is our problem, and we need all the power we need to vanquish him." Explained Hades as the explanation enticed Death.

"I don't know, I would prefer if Soma become the Dark Lord out of his own free will, and even if he did, I wonder if he's strong enough to defeat Galeem." Death is hesitating.

Thanatos proceed to taunt him. "For someone who's very devoted, you sure have little faith for your master, and as Deities we know about faith more than anyone."

"Well there you have it, or would you prefer someone else to fill the Dark Lord vacuum ? Like Galamoth for example ? Well he's dead, but you never know." Hades pressing Death even further.

Death is heavily reluctant about going through with this, but... "Alright I'm in, but under one condition, the Earth belongs to Lord Dracula, so I suggest you leave once my goal is complete." Death ended up accepting Hades offer even though he's still hesitating. "I'm only doing this so that Soma willingly become Dracula again and to destroy Galeem."

"Of course, you can have Earth, if that's all you're asking." Hades agreed with Death terms.

"I will begin my summoning, but I'm still skeptical about taking souls from Heaven." Said Death.

"Don't worry, the Heavens are still in chaos after that light, we plucked 100 souls and they won't notice anything." Assured Thanatos.

Death nodded as he lifted his scythe and stabbed the floor, a purple magic circle appeared, Thanatos give Death an input of which people should he brought to their service, and then mostly humanoid bodies are formed within the Grand Hall. Their numbers reached around more than hundreds, as souls from any different worlds gather in one place and after a while the necromancy is complete.

"Excellent work Death, of course should anything happen to you or you fell in combat, the control of the revenants will be transferred to me." Stated Thanatos.

"That's fine, but is this another reason why you called out to me ?" Asked Death.

"Yes, contingency plans are crucial, if one of us falls the revenants will be free from our control and they will return to the Heaven and Hell, for the souls in Hell we can always re-summoned them, but for the souls in Heaven we would risk the heavenly gods wrath, and if one of us fall you can transfer the control to me, that way the revenants won't return and remained at our control. And by doing this there will be a time when one of those pesky do gooders getting in our way, so we need to increase our number as much as possible to impede them." Explained Thanatos.

"And let's be real we can't rely on our underlings to do it, the heroes just gonna mow them over like a grass cut by lawnmower." Added Hades. "But if we use competent minions and they're loved ones even, I'm sure they would make a great distractiona nd obstacles."

"So that's why we're doing this ? Getting heroes and villains of the past and from any worlds to serve as an obstacle ?" Asked Death.

"Precisely ! Glad you understand, now then let's begin the introduction." Hades stand in front of the revenants and begin his speech. "Welcome to the Underworld Castle ! My name is Hades, and these are my associates Thanatos and Death, and we're here to congratulate all of you as you are the souls chosen for a grand purpose, one that will reshape the world...no, the universe !"

One of the revenants objected angrily. "Don't joke around ! What is the meaning of this !"

Thanatos hovered to the angry revenant. "Ah if it isn't Cain, also known as The Bull, a loyal vassal to King Marth, we know of you, you and your companions are the ones to take down Medeus are you not ? Which is why we chose you to appear before us."

"How did you ? No whether in death or life I will only dedicated myself for my rightful master !" Exclaimed Cain.

"And that's the kind of dedication we'd like to hear ! Keep up the attitude Mr. Bull or you might get promoted faster than your comrades." Taunt Hades.

"What ! No, not you ! My...our master..." Hades then shut him up before Cain can continue.

"We are your master now mortal, not Marth, and should we order you to kill him, you will obey our command without question and hesitation." Hades spoke threateningly. "That goes for all of you as well Abel, Jagen, Elice, and of course Caeda." The four of them can only look in fear.

"What ! No I refuse to obey your orders !" Objected Caeda.

"Do you really think you can disobey us ? Caeda I command you to strangle Ogma." With Hades command Caeda's body begin moving on its own, Caeda unable to control herself as she walked closer to Ogma and placed her hand on his neck.

"Your majesty...aagh.." Caeda strangling Ogma and there's nothing she can do about it.

"No ! Please stop ! Why won't my body move !" Caeda desperately tried to remove her hands from Ogma, to no avail.

"Alright Caeda stop with what you're doing." With Hades command Caeda then able to let go of her hand. "See now, all of you are nothing but puppets dancing in our palm, you can never refuse or disobey our order, so I hope you enjoy your new life."

"What ! This ! This can't be ! Am I have to be subservient to anyone !? This is outrageous !" Yelled another revenant.

Thanatos went over to the furious revenant. "Ooh what do we have here ? If it isn't the great sorcerer Gharnef, of course we didn't forget about you."

"Am I supposed to be happy about this !? I was tormented in Hell, and now I'm being enslaved by malevolent Deities !" Screamed the sorcerer.

Hades then walked closer to Gharnef. "On the contrary, if anything we feel your pain, I mean look at what happen to you, life can be cruel indeed."

Thanatos then continued. "Gharnef, you were an incredible sorcerer, you worked hard to get to where you are, and yet Gotoh over there didn't chose you to be his successor now didn't he ?" Thanatos pointed at Gotoh, and as he's about to object, Thanatos used his magic to gag him.

"You only want to take what is rightfully yours, but what happened ? Marth and his armies declare war against you, and worse once you died the heavenly gods plunge you to Hell where you suffered, all just because you only want to claim what is rightfully yours." Continued Hades.

"Yes, that's right everyone wronged me, they cast me aside, everyone ! They will pay !" Gharnef fall to Hades and Thanatos manipulation.

"And so Gharnef, join us and you will be able to exact your vengeance on the heavenly gods, you will lead Marth former companions and make him pay for what he did to you, as for your status, you will receive more freedom than all of them, consider it executive privilege, we also have no objection should you have a personal goal to achieve, after all this is your second chance." Explained Hades.

"That's right ! Where's Marth ! I can exact my revenge on him now !" Yelled Gharnef.

"Unfortunately Marth is revived early so he's not here, but don't worry, should you stick with us your path will cross once again." Said Thanatos.

Death who haven't move from where he is muttered to himself. ("Gharnef, the sorcerer who awaken Medeus, he's completely fell for Hades and Thanatos temptations.")

"Alright everyone dismissed ! We will discussed your missions later, in the meantime the Underworld Army will escort you to your quarters." The Underworld Army monsters entered the Grand Hall and escort the revenants to their quarters, leaving only Death, Thanatos, and Hades.

"You really exploiting his ambitions do you ?" Commented Death.

"Feeding their ego is another way to motivate your employee you know, you ought to try it." Remarked Hades.

"Do you think this will work ? If that light reaches Heaven and Hell itself, won't it spread throughout the mortal plane as well ? Won't it attract the attention of those do gooder heroes ?" Questioned Death.

"Obviously it will, but what does it matter ? No matter where they look they can't find the source of the light, they will be confused and going in a wild goose chase, should they even figure out what's going on it will be too late, now after this we should meet our other ally, Ganondorf." Said Thanatos.

"Ganondorf as in Demise's vessel ?" Asked Death.

"Yes, he'll be here soon with Demise himself, so let us wait for them." The three dark gods then left the Grand Hall.

Underworld Castle - Army Quarter

This location is part of the Underworld Castle meant to house the army, and since all of the Underworld Army resembling animals, plants, and strange creatures they never got to used this place.

Caeda while lamenting her fate decided to take a look at the premises, hopefully she can discover a way to save herself and everyone from the necromancy magic placed on them.

("The place is empty, I guess they all not leaving their rooms, I should make use of this opportunity to look around.") Caeda muttered as she looked around the place, as it is a castle the buildings look opulent with wide corridor and room does across the walls, however the place is rather dark and and dim, the walls and floors are unpainted stones.

Caeda is wandering alone unarmed, she started to think if this is a bad idea, but she's dead, and any risk she's going to get is worth it if she can find help wherever it is.

As she continued walking Caeda heard another footstep getting close to the intersection, Caeda bracing herself as she form a javelin made out of light. As the footstep gets close she leaped and ready to attack, scaring what she sees a little girl with green hair.

"Aaahhh !" The little girl screamed as she fell down.

Caeda seeing what she did apologized and dissipates her light javelin. "I'm sorry ! Here let me help you." Caeda offered her hand to the girl which she picked up. "I'm sorry about that, I thought you were a guardian of this place or something."

"It's okay, I thought the same when I decided to leave my room." Answered the girl.

"My name is Caeda, what's a little girl like you doing here ?" Caeda introducing herself.

"My name is Saria, and I could ask the same about you, could you be summoned here by that skeletal looking god ?" Asked Saria.

"Yes I am, I see so you were summoned as well, but what do they want with a little girl like you ?" Asked Caeda.

"To answer your question I'm not just an ordinary little girl, I came from Hyrule and I was one of the seven sages there." Answered Saria.

"Hyrule ? Seven sages ? I never heard of those before in Talys, or even Archanea, but aren't you too young to be a sage ?" Asked Caeda.

"Talys ? Archanea ? I've never heard those words either, and as for my role, let's just say according to legends of Hyrule when darkness rule all the ones chosen will hear a voice speaking, and I'm the one to hear it, I'm the Sage of Forest representing my people the Kokiris." Explained Saria.

As Caeda and Saria continued talking it's clear that they don't know what the other is talking about.

"Most of the things you said are unfamiliar to me." Responded Caeda. "If there are three goddesses creating the world then shouldn't there be religions about them ?"

"I can say the same, I never heard of this Fire Emblem or dragons suffering from degeneration, what could it mean ?" Saria is also confused.

And then a voice can be heard speaking to the two girls. "It's because you two came from different worlds, that is why none of you know anything about the other home country." The voice belonged to Ganondorf.

"You ! The Gerudo king ! What are you doing here !?" Yelled Saria.

"Saria you know this man ?" Asked Caeda.

"Yes, he's the great evil I talked about earlier, Ganondorf the Gerudo king, he came to Hyrule feigning loyalty to the king only to steal the Triforce." Explained Saria.

"I see, so you're the evil that plagued Saria's world, but did you just said different worlds ?" Asked Caeda curious.

"Yes, you two came from different worlds, so you're Caeda, Marth speaks a lot about you during the tournament." Hearing his name Caeda is beyond surprised.

"You know of Marth !?" Exclaimed Caeda.

"I do, but that's all I'm gonna say for now, you two are under Thanatos control for the time being, but hope is not lost, goddess Din told me these villains won't go unpunished, we're going to assemble once more like we did when we faced Tabuu." Ganondorf then left.

"Hey what do you mean by that !? Explain Yourself !?" Saria yelled, demanding an explanation, but Ganondorf left without saying a word.

"What does he mean by that ? Could it be ?" Caeda is confused as well, but she has a hunch that she doesn't have to endure this forever.

Just as she's about to regain positivity Gharnef shows up and started barking orders. "Hey ! Get out you slackers ! It's time for training !" Marth's companions then left the room forced to obey Gharnef's order. "Now, Merric, Linde, and Arlen, I will train the three of you personally."

Miloah objected heavily to this. "Gharnef don't do this !"

"Shut it Miloah ! You have no power over me ! Your daughter have potential, and it's time she's taught by the true master sorcerer." Gharnef then left as Linde can only looked at her father with a sad expression.

Underworld Castle - Throne Room

Ganondorf entered the throne room and in there he saw the Underworld gods Hades, Medusa, Thanatos, and Pandora, he also saw Death and Demise.

Ganondorf then bowed before Demise. "I have returned my master, I'm making sure those revenants to be snuffed out of all hope."

Demise in his flaming red hair, brown cape and dark scaly skins form approached Ganondorf. "Arise my servant, and well done, let them howl in despair as there's no escaping us." Ganondorf then rise.

"And so, I think it's time we begin." The dark gods begin the discusson, and at that moment Tabuu project his image on the Underworld Castle throne room to join the meeting.

"Welcome Tabuu to our first meeting, I can't wait to get started." Said Hades flamboyantly.

"You're not fooling anyone Hades with your fake enthusiasm, but yes let's get started anyway, now I gather you all here for one purpose, to bring Galeem to the physical plane, he's able to escape the Abyss of Time, but of course he didn't realize afterbthat he's confined to his own domain, unable to enter the mortal plane or any other realm, so he needs us to break his seal so he can return to the physical plane." Summarized Tabuu.

"And why you recruit us for this ?" Questioned Medusa.

"The answer is obvious, should the Heavens discovered this the Heavenly gods will take action, and I know a certain goddess will sent her favorite angel to investigate and didn't some of you have a score to settle with him ?" Explained Tabuu.

"Oh, could it be Pitty Pat ? How I would give to go for another round with him, with I'm victorious of course, without any interference." Hades stared at Medusa.

"Hmph, don't expect me to be your obedient lapdog, you had it coming." Retorted Medusa. "I only agree to cooperate because you're not the one reviving me, and because I have a score to settle with Pit and Palutena."

"Guess Dark Pit is mine then." Smiled Pandora.

"But really, what can he do all by himself ? While we're already begin gathering army." Stated Thanatos.

"If there's anything about these heroes they're too persistent for their own good." Complained Thanatos.

"Hmm that's true, I always believed Pit was a goner that time, but once you have them the tiniest ray of hope they take it without a second thought, I suppose that does restore me to my body." Said Pandora.

"The Rewind Spring ? I suppose I should destroy it later after this meeting." Commented Hades.

"And as for you Demise, how would you like to face the hero incarnate once again ?" Asked Tabuu.

"He's one of the very few people able to best me, I would like to cross swords with him once again, and this time I will emerge victorious and Hyrule will be mine to command." Declared Demise.

"And I see Ganondorf is also here, is he still..." Hades asking if Ganondorf still have Demise's curse.

"No, but as my hatred incarnate and my agent to move around in the mortal plane Ganondorf is essential for us moving forward." Demise vouching for Ganondorf.

"That light that revive us, the energy feels familiar somehow, I can sense space, time, and life." Said Medusa.

"It's because this is made from Dialga, Palkia, and Xerneas power combined." Explained Tabuu. "Ancient Minister come up with this idea."

"Wait !? Did you say Dialga and Palkia ? Won't we get in trouble with Arceus for this ?" Questioned Pandora.

"Let him try, not even he can withstand against all of us at once." Boasted Hades.

"In order for us to succeed we need all the help we can get, we can't interfere directly in the mortal plane, which is why I decided to use revenants for our agents, and also you can recruit anyone else that piqued your interest, for Lord Galeem we will succeed !" Exclaimed Tabuu, the others also cheered, but it's more of a lip service than actual loyalty. "Ganondorf once you're done here you will meet with Ancient Minister and work together, you two are familiar with one another after all."

"Yes, as you wish." Ganondorf bowed towards Tabuu.

"Ancient Minister is looking for potential allies for our cause, you will be in charge while he is away." Explained Tabuu.

"Guess we can drag as many people as we want in this, let's see we got the people from Archanean continent, Hyrule, Mushroom World, Earth both past, present, and future, should we expand further ?" Asked Death.

"I believe that's an excellent idea, go and include more people to bolster our army, so that anyone who oppose us will fall." Stated Tabuu.

"Alright then, we will do just that, so what's our current goal ?" Asked Medusa.

"The first seal, we need a huge concentration of stellar energy to break open the seal." Answered Tabuu.

"That's hard, especially since sun and stars are practically the same thing." Stated Pandora.

"Yes, but there is someone who possess such energy." Answered Tabuu. "Rosalina, her Comet Observatory is powered by stellar energy, we can get the it from her."

"Then it's settled, the Comet Observatory will be out target, then I supposed we need to send someone experienced in outer space." Commented Thanatos.

"I'll leave that to you, now that we have a goal in mind this conversation is over." Tabuu's image projection is gone, and now the dark gods begin scheming behind Tabuu's back.

"We cannot trust him." Said Medusa.

"True, but what would happen if we can't defeat Galeem ?" Thanatos is worried.

"Then there's only one thing to do when it comes to Galeem." Hades seemed to found a solution.

"Wait you don't mean ?" Pandora seemed to realize Hades's goal.

"It's exactly what I mean, we have to free Dharkon." The room fell silent after Hades's statement.

Training Hall

Gharnef took everyone to the training Hall, it's a very spacious room with training fields and obstacle course the hall seems equipped for both physical and magical training.

Gharnef commanded the revenants to begin training. "Listen up ! In order to defeat our enemies we all need to be in our peak condition so you can struck them down with little problem, you can't beat Marth with half hearted attitude !"

"But we don't want to fight Lord Marth !" Yelled Abel.

"Oh you don't ? Too bad ! Because if I say you will kill Marth you will obey my command ! Now start training !" Commanded Gharnef as they all reluctantly training.

As the Archanean Leagues started their training they are joined by several figures unknown to them, well for Caeda she met one of them.

"Saria ? What are you doing here ? Did you come here to train as well ?" Asked Caeda.

"I am, forced by some purple haired wizard, anyway let me introduce you, these are the rest of the sages, Rauru the sage of light, Ruto sage of water, Impa sage of shadow, Nabooru sage of spirit, Darunia sage of fire, and me sage of forest." Saria introduced Caeda to the rest of the sages.

"It's nice to meet all of you, I'm Caeda, princess of Talys, of course one thing led to another and I'm queen of Archanea." Caeda introduced herself.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance princess, though different worlds we are from hopefully we won't let that divide us." Encouraged Rauru.

"We heard everything from Saria, we may have been forced to serve evil, but I believe we will be set free, that's what I...we all believe." Assured Ruto.

"That's what I wished to believe as well." Caeda looked down looking sad.

Jagen and Ogma seeing Caeda talking decided to approached her. "Your majesty." Called out Ogma.

"Oh Ogma, everyone this is Ogma and Jagen they helped us during the war in my world, Jagen, Ogma these are the seven sages from Hyrule." Caeda introduced the seven sages to Jagen and Ogma.

"I see, so you're here because of similar circumstances as us did you ?" Asked Jagen.

"So uh ? Are those fins ?" Ogma stared at Ruto.

"Yes, my kind are called Zora, we are water dwelling race in Hyrule, I take it there's nothing similar to us in your world ?" Asked Ruto.

"No we only have humans and manaketes if you're talking about intelligent species." Answered Jagen.

"Yeah, so sorry for staring like that." Ogma apologized to Ruto.

"It's fine, I suppose I'm gonna have to get used to people from other world looking at me funny." Sighed the Zora princess.

From afar Gharnef is heard yelling. "Hey ! No talking ! Get back to training !"

"That's Gharnef, he's an evil sorcerer who bring chaos to our world, but those Underworld gods put him in charge and we can't disobey him." Sighed Caeda.

"This is necromancy, we cannot disobey our summoner, it's best if we play along for now." Said Rauru.

"We'll use this chance to get to know your allies as well, maybe we can find a way to be free from this power." Suggested Nabooru.

Ogma then noticed one thing. "Wait, you call yourselves the seven sages, but I only see six of you ?"

"Oh that's right where's the seventh one ?" Asked Caeda.

"The seventh one is our leader princess Zelda of Hyrule, but if she's not here then what happened to her ?" Rauru stroking his chin.

"Hey Saria, you said you saw Ganondorf did you in the hallway ?" Asked Nabooru.

"Yeah, he looked different, a bit older but there's no doubt it's him." Confirmed Saria. "That red hair and dark skin, and that imposing late build, and a male Gerudo at that."

"I see, and if he's supposed to be our superior that means I can't lay my hands on him, that's frustrating, he's right before my very eyes and yet I can't do anything against him !" Nabooru complaining about her situation.

"Oh right Caeda, Ganondorf the man that we just saw esrlier he's the king of Nabooru's people, the Gerudo." Explained Saria.

"That man is your king ? Saria told me he's a great evil." Stated Caeda.

"That's true, I can't agree our people ruled by a tyrant like him, that's why I turned against him, so when I was chosen to be the sage of spirit I'm glad I can oppose him."

Hearing this Jagen begin contemplating. ("Turning my blade against my king huh ? We're lucky Lord Marth is a benevolent ruler, should he become corrupted with power would I be able to point my sword at him ?")

"I'm very sorry to hear that, we were very lucky Marth is a benevolent king to everyone." Stated Caeda.

"I'm glad your under the leadership of a good king, it's best if no one else have to went through what we did." Nabooru thanking Caeda for her concern.

As they begin training the seven sages also mingle with the Archanean Leaguers.

Meanwhile Gharnef is training Merric, Linde, and Arlen. "Now listen to the wisdom I'm about to impart to you, power is everything and you will take it with any means necessary ! If you don't have power then that makes you weak and you will be trampled by others, if you don't want that to happen you need to be ruthless, kindness is a weakness !"

"*Sigh* now I see why Archsage Goroh chose Miloah over you." Murmured Arlen.

"What was that Arlen !?"

"N-nothing master !" Arlen answered panickingly.

"Then get to it !" With that Merric, Linde, and Arlen begin their training.

As Gharnef observing them someone approached him. It's Andross who seemed to be interested in Gharnef.

"I saw what you did earlier, magic is an incredible power isn't it ? I was able to get some when I was trapped in Dinosaur Planet."

"Whoa ! A talking monkey !" Gharnef is shocked from looking at Andross.

"Oh get used to it, you'll be seeing a lot more people who doesn't look like you, the names Andross by the way." Andross introduced himself.

"I am Gharnef, I'm the most powerful sorcerer in all Archanea, unfortunately my master failed to see that all because I 'lack kindness'." Gharnef air quote the last words.

"I see, then we're a kindred spirit you and I, Corneria, my so called home planet doesn't appreciate my genius either so I showed them, I build a powerful empire and terrorized that accursed star system." Andross seems to sympathize with Gharnef.

"You too huh ? We're gifted in our respective fields and yet no matter what we accomplished the world refuse to recognize us, and worse after we died..."

"We were sent to Hell." Said both Gharnef and Andross at the same time.

"Even the heavenly gods cast us aside like that, so I may be a revenant, but if it give me a second chance in revenge then I will take it !" Exclaimed Andross.

"Looks like we're going to get along you and I." Gharnef and Andross seemed to formed an alliance as they shake each other's hand.

"James ! Get over here !" Shouted Andross as James McCloud approached him. "This is Gharnef he's a sorcerer, and with his magic my goal of taking over the Lylat System will be a lot easier, and Gharnef, this is James McCloud my sworn enemy, he can teach you about futuristic weaponry."

James then fired back. "You're mad if you think I'm helping an evil magician learning futuristic weaponry !"

"Oh but you will do it, after all how are we going to kill your son if we don't learn something new ?" Andross taunted James.

"Andross if you lay a finger on my son I'll..."

"You'll what ? You know what you're right, I don't have to do it, because I'm going to order you to kill your own son hahahahaha !" Hearing Andross's statement James can only looked in horror as Andross wished to pit him against his son.

During training Draug and Darunia facing off against each other. "You got great strength for a human." Darunia praising Draug.

"Thanks I train myself everyday, let's just say I'm proud of my built." Draug's smile then turned to frown. "But now I have to serve evil."

"I know what you mean, but I assure you not to fear, we believe there's always a light during the darkest times." Assured Darunia.

"We the sages of Hyrule believe that there's a light at the end of darkness, no matter how hard things may seem there will always be people who will stand up against evil." Nabooru lecturing the younger Leaguers like Ryan, Maria, etc.

"So you're a knight defending her princess ?" Jagen asks Impa.

"If you want a clarification, I won't actually call myself a 'knight' my work is more behind the scenes, nevertheless my people have sworn loyalty to the royal family of Hyrule, and as long as the Sheikah still lives none shall harm the royal family." Answered Impa.

"I can see you possess strong loyalty to your liege, I would like to know about this Kingdom of Hyrule you're from." Jagen seemed to develop respect to Impa as they're both devoted to the master they serve.

"I'll be more than happy to tell, I also like to know more about the Kingdom of Altea." Replied Impa as Jagen also agreed to tell Impa about his home country.

"So you're a sage from another world ? Yes I can tell you possess great power." Said Gotoh to Rauru.

"I am Rauru the sage of light of Hyrule, and you are...?"

"My name is Gotoh, a member of the divine dragon, but I cast aside my transformation and mastering the art of magic." Explained Gotoh.

"I see, divine dragons huh ? In our world dragons are like servants of the gods, are divine dragons the same ?" Stated Rauru.

"Well many divine dragons ascended to the Heavens when they died during the war, and since I survived I the war I never ascended to the Heavens, which is why my knowledge is rather limited about the other worlds, I did encounter many people in Askr, but it looks like I'm going to encounter even more now." Stated Gotoh

"Woah ! A fish person !?" Barst and Darros surprised by Ruto's appearance. "I spent some of my life being a pirate and I've never seen anything like you."

"You really don't have sapient water dwelling race do you ?" Ruto sighed a bit. "looks like I'm going to have to get used to funny stares from otherworlders."

"Ah no, that's not what I meant, but uuh...you are actually very beautiful." Barst complemented the Zora princess actually mesmerized by her appearance.

"I agree, you are more beautful than any treasure at sea." Added Darros.

"Hmm..? Well at least you two got a good eye." Ruto answered teasingly. "So a man of the sea huh ? But unfortunately for you my heart is already set on someone."

Xane is watching the seven sages interacting with the Archanean League. ("I'm glad there aren't any problems, this is no time to fight amongst ourselves, we can't repeat what humans did to the Manaketes during the time of Anri.")

The Archanean Leaguers were surprised by Ruto and Darunia's appearance, however despite that they still remember that human persecution of Manaketes was the reason Medeus become what he is in the first place, and they all refuse to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.

And with the seven sages mingling with the Archanean Leagues, assuring each other that they will get through this.

And then Ganondorf soon deployed to the Subspace Prison where he will work with Ancient Minister, which would be the prelude to the Warriors of Fallen Stars hope of salvation.

Subspace Prison - Control Room

Ganondorf entered the room and he saw Ancient Minister facing the monitor. Still feeling guilty Ganondorf approached the robot.

"R.O.B." said Ganondorf which make the Ancient Minister turned around to see the ones responsible for the destruction of his people.

"You ! Palutena warned me about this, but I just can't accept it !" R.O.B is still angry at Ganondorf.

"I have no excuses, I caused the destruction of your people, you have every right to hate me, if beating me up will satisfy you then so be it." Ganondorf took off his armor and let himself open to attacks.

R.O.B is taken aback with how Ganondorf is serious with his words, but consume with anger and grief the robot continue attacking anyway, he jumped and punch the Gerudo on his face, followed by spinning his arm and hitting Ganondorf's stomach as the Gerudo winced in pain.

R.O.B then fire an energy blast, knocking Ganondorf down, Ganondorf didn't fight back, but he return to stand, R.O.B continue beating Ganondorf senselessly, either smacking him with his steel arms, firing energy blast at the Gerudo, Ganondorf taking all the punishment R.O.B inflicted on him, but refusing to fight back. R.O.B realizing the futility of his actions R.O.B breaks down and grieving once again. "This is hopeless, I know doing this won't bring them back, but..."

"I have committed numerous wrongdoings both in my world and in others as well, I wished to atone for what I did, you don't have to forgive me, but we will need each other to thwart our enemies." Ganondorf then offered R.O.B his hand signifying his honesty with his words. "If you still wished to destroy me you can do it once we accomplished our mission."

"I'm still angry at you, but you're right, I can't let myself get swayed by grudge for now, alright Ganondorf, but I'm only working with you so that I can succeed in reuniting everyone." R.O.B shake Ganondorf's hand and begin plotting to betray the Neo Subspace Army.

Days gone by and Neo Subspace Army have grown in numbers, many dead heroes and villains brought back using necromancy and served as Neo Subspace Army elite soldiers, they recruit and entice more and more people from any worlds they set their sights on, their member have gotten so much not even R.O.B is able to keep track all of them, but it doesn't matter as the time for rebellion has come.

And finally after R.O.B and Ganondorf rebellion, Master Hand chosen people have reunited, with the news spread for the fallen heroes they started to have hope that there are people standing up against the Neo Subspace Army, and for some of the fallen villains, with Ganondorf betrayal they believe that maybe they can receive second chance to atone as well.


Well here it is, shout out to Persona75 for suggesting this, I wanted to make villain centered chapters, but I have to make it less spoiler. I'm not sure if this what you have in mind, but I do hope you enjoyed it regardless.

Sorry the interaction is more between the Archanean Leagues and the Seven Sages, the Warriors of Fallen Stars aren't brought back all at once, but gradually, and also to avoid spoilers.

Gotoh is not yet arrived at FE Heroes, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until he did.

Character debut : (OoT)Impa, Rauru, Ruto, Darunia.
