"Rrrr…" Rayquaza growled at Fox. The latter folded his arms and tapped his foot.
"There is no way I'm apologizing to this big guy." Fox said. "He was the one who destroyed my Arwing."
"Yeah, but you crash landed into his territory." Zinnia responded. "In his mind, you invaded his territory. That's why he attacked you, then of course you attacked him."
"He grabbed Diddy Kong!"
"Rrrr. Rawr…"
"He was gonna throw him back into the jungle after giving him a good roaring." Zinnia explained. "Sure, it looked like he was gonna eat him, but he doesn't eat monkeys."
"Rawr Rrr…"
Zinnia looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean "not anymore, anyway"?"
"Rrrr Rawr Rawr."
"Oooh, I get it. The fur gave you indigestion for a while." Zinnia nodded, causing Fox to sweatdrop.
"What kind of monkeys were they?"
"Rrrrr…"
"A group of Mankey. They were asking for it anyway, they were throwing all sorts of… stuff in his lake."
"I see…"
"So anyway, in his mind, you retaliated and sent an attack back at him and then he retaliated, which resulted in you and the little monkey to KO him." Zinnia said and then shook her head. "No wonder he's not thrilled with the Smashers after that little incident."
"So I invaded the territory… I had to land somewhere after getting shot down."
"That may be true, however you didn't have to result into attacking back. You could have just… fled? I dunno… something that didn't result in fighting the big guy?" Zinnia shrugged.
Fox rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I was just defending myself and Diddy." He said and walked off.
"Rawr…"
"Oh, give him time, Ray Ray. He'll come around." Zinnia said. …I hope.
"So, you're saying that Dark Samus is on edge?" Samus asked with amusement.
"Yes." Panther nodded. "Apparently there's a supposed mutiny brewing around in the Space Pirates. I have a pretty good idea that Ridley might be involved."
"Well, that wouldn't surprise me." Falco spoke up. "The expired blueberry has everyone tired of her, and even with her armor off, she's nothing more than an expired bimbo… and that's an insult to bimbos everywhere!"
"Expired blueberry… I'm gonna have to remember that." Marnie snickered.
Samus let out a chuckle. "Good… let the Space Pirates kill themselves."
"What, so we sit here and do nothing?" Jaune asked.
"Are you kidding? I want front row seats to that!" She smirked. "Sign me up for that!"

With Cinder…
Cinder looked over at Emerald who was chatting with Akira and Futaba. "Hmm… it's worth a shot." She said as she walked over to them. "Heeey, uh… Emerald…"
Emerald turned her head to Cinder, her smile disappearing as she let out a scowl. She didn't say anything as she glared at her. "I understand that you hate me, and I get that… but I just want to say that-" Emerald disappeared in front of Cinder's eyes. "…Right. Understood. I get it." She said as she turned around and walked away.
"What'd you do?" Akira asked.
"Made myself disappear in front of her." Emerald responded, then looked away. "I can't bring myself to forgive her…"
Akira patted her on the shoulder. "It'll be okay."
"Yeah, you got us to lean on now!" Futaba said with a smile.
"Yeah… you're right." Emerald nodded.
"Mmm… can't say I don't blame her." Cinder mumbled, remembering how she snapped at both Mercury and Emerald. "Don't think they'd ever forgive me, honestly."
"And why do you think that is?"
Cinder stopped walking, closing her eyes. "Madame, you should've been sucked into that black hole."
"Hmph, it will take more than a measly black hole to get rid of me."
How hard is it to get rid of you? Cinder thought as she would see Bowsette talking with Junior and Captain Slime. "Hmm… didn't she have problems?" She wondered as she walked over to Bowsette. "Hey, Bowsette…"
Bowsette turned to her. "Oh, Cinder!" She smiled. "What's up?"
"Um… I got a question. How exactly do you get rid of… shall we say, a bad memory?"
"A bad memory? Well, have you tried ignoring it?"
"Heh, easier said than done…"
Bowsette chuckled. "Yeah, I get that. Although, maybe if you tried confronting the bad memory and just, oh… what do you call it?"
"Asserting dominance?" Junior spoke up.
"You're no longer an issue?" Captain Slime guessed.
"Say you're in charge, I guess…" Bowsette shrugged. "Just say you're no longer afraid of it or something equivalent to that."
"Hmm… I'll keep that in mind." Cinder said and then she walked off.

With Chiaki…
"Hmm… what do I want to try out now…" Chiaki wondered, looking through a large pile of games. "Let's see… Undertale, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Metal Gear Solid V, Grand Theft Auto V, the remastered Spyro trilogy, Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Wars 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Batman: Arkham Knight… aaaagh, and that's just the tip of the iceberg…"
Suddenly, a game case slid next to her that caught her attention. "Hmm?" She wondered as she picked up the game. "Doki Doki Literature Club… oh, this looks cute!" She smiled. "Alright, let's try this out!" She said as she heard chirping as she looked over to see the Pikmin and a few Larval Metroids surrounding her. "Oh, you wanna watch? Sweet, let's go!" She said, unaware of Hades walking away with a smirk on his face.
With Rosalina…
"One Galaxy available…" She mused as she looked into it. "Boss Blitz Galaxy…?"
"Oooh, we're at the boss rush already?" Ibuki asked. "Sweet!"
"Might I suggest we tag out and put in a new team after every boss fight? Just an idea." Palutena suggested.
"Not sure what "boss" means, but yeah, that'll work." Rosalina nodded.
"You don't know what a boss is? You're looking at him!" Bowser said with a smirk.
"And me!" Hades grinned. "Wolf too!"
"…Don't drag me into this." Wolf mumbled.
"Alright, let's go take out this first enemy." Akame spoke up. "Tatsumi, are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." Tatsumi said as he walked up, sporting Barroth armor and weilding a new weapon, the Barroth Shredder. However, the armor was colored differently, looking similarly to Incursio, which also included the cape.
"Whoa…" Ieyasu said in awe. "You're holding that greatsword like it's nothing!"
"Are you sure you know how to wield it?" Sayo asked with a hint of concern.
"Nonsense. I've got upper body strength. This is nothing." Tatsumi grinned.
"That could explain why you tend to miss leg day." Mine teased, which was enough for him to give him a glare while she smugly smirked at him.
"If you guys are goin', we might as well go too." Cardin said as they would see him decked out in Diablos armor, including the Diablos Tyrannis Charge Blade and shield in his hands.
"Whoa…" Chelsea said in awe. "Dude, you look… great!"
"Heh, I also have armor for the Monoblos too. Although, I don't recommend hugging me in that armor." Cardin suggested.
"Well, alright, let's go and see what kind of monster we're dealing with here." Mine said as they went into the Launch Star and all of them launched away.
End BGM

The group would land into an open field-like planet. "You got those brass knuckle knives I gave you, Ieyasu?" Tatsumi asked.
"Oh yeah, I got 'em." Ieyasu said. "Tyr's Fury. Nice name for these things."
"Over here!" Akame spoke up as they would walk up to see a creature chewing on some meat, before it would turn its head and roared at them.
"A Rathian? Oh, this is gonna be great trying these bad boys out!" Cardin smirked as the Rathian roared and charged at them… but then suddenly, scales dropped down on the ground and landed between the group followed by a loud roar. The Rathian let out a whimper and tried to back up, but the scales exploded and knocked everyone back.
The Rathian attempted to get away but a large creature landed on top of the Rathian as everyone would hear the sounds of the Rathian roaring in agony as they heard it getting ripped to shreds while the Rathian roared in pain… as if the Rathian was begging them to help her out.
"What the hell…" Mine would ask until the Rathian's roars died down. They would hear heavy footsteps approaching them as a new monster walked through, blood dripping from its mouth as it would let out a roar.
BGM: Bazelgeuse Theme (Monster Hunter World)
Party Crasher - Bazelgeuse
"A BAZELGEUSE?!" Viridi and Palutena yelled together.
"My my my, that Rathian got shredded like cheese!" Hades exclaimed. "Go get 'em, big guy! Your prey is right there!"
"SHUT UP, HADES!" Viridi yelled.
"Let us know if you need back up. Those things will knock you off your feet if you're not careful!"
"We'll take care of it!" Tatsumi said. "…I hope."
"Lock and load, let's go!" Mine exclaimed as she shot at the Bazelgeuse while Sayo fired arrows at it. The Bazelgeuse would respond by breathing fire, forcing them to dodge while Tatsumi and Cardin rushed at him and slashed at him. He would proceed to charge and headbutt the two to knock them away, and then threw down a few of its scales before jumping back as the scales exploded, but Cardin used his shield to block the fireballs from the explosion.
The Bazelgeuse would turn to look at Chelsea as it would charge at her while she threw needles at the beast, infusing them with electric dust as they electrocuted it but it would shake it off and bite down, but Chelsea would make a clone and jumped back, then the clone exploded into ice to freeze it. Ieyasu would jump over and punched the beast as Sky, Russel and Dove would join in and attacked him from the sides while Akame slashed at it fron above.
It would destroy its icy prison and headbutted Akame, sending her flying back but she got back up. "Alright, have it your way then." She said, closing her eyes as markings appeared all over her body as she rushed over to it, coating her blade in poison as she slashed at the Bazelgeuse, but it would fly into the air as she barely nicked it.
Scales were dropped shortly after, carpet bombing them in an instant and then they exploded once it lit up, sending them flying back as the Bazelgeuse divebombed and pinned Sayo to the ground. Sayo let out a grunt before firing some photon arrows at it, and then Mine held the trigger on her gun before she released it and fired a large shot that knocked the Bazelgeuse off of her. "Oh Pumpkin, I'm so glad I upgraded ya!" Mine smiled.
"Hrah!" Russel exclaimed, slashing at the Bazelgeuse but it would breathe fire point blank. "Gah!" He yelped as he was knocked back, then Cardin slashed at the Bazelgeuse right after and then it would Akame would slash at it again, this time striking it on the side where Tatsumi jumped over and swung down on his head. The Bazelgeuse swung his head to knock Tatsumi back and then body slammed into Akame, sending her into a cliff wall.
"Nnngh!" Akame winced, her aura flickering. Crap… that thing hits like a Wiggler bus. She thought as she shook it off and lunged over to him, slashing at the Bazelgeuse but it would fly up again and left a nasty surprise as it dropped some scales in front of her, Sky and Ieyasu, their eyes widening as the scales exploded and knocked them back while Akame rolled across the ground while her aura shattered.
"Akame!" Tatsumi exclaimed.
"I got her!" Chelsea said as she ran toward Akame while using another clone to distract the beast. "You alright?"
"Never better…" Akame mumbled as she staggered, holding on to her sword as the Bazelgeuse would fly up and slammed into CRDL, knocking them all down and breathing fire as Cardin tried to block the attack as Sayo would continue to fire arrows and Mine would continue to shoot at it.
"Palutena, we could use some backup!" Chelsea requested.
"I figured you would have. I've already sent backup as we speak."
The Bazelgeuse roared, knocking down Tatsumi, Mine, Ieyasu and Sayo with all their auras flickering. It would fly up into the air, ready to finish them off… when suddenly it would get impaled by two horns from none other than the Nergigante, where it would then fly down and slammed it into the ground as the Nergigante backed up and roared, then Rosalina landed near the Nergigante.
"We'll take it from here." Rosalina said as the Bazelgeuse roared, the Nergigante roaring back as the two lunged and tackled each other. The Bazelgeuse would breathe fire as the Nergigante would fire spikes, the two hitting each other as the spikes hit the Bazelgeuse in the eyes, causing it to roar in pain as the Nergigante lunged and swiped at the beast where Rosalina would fly up and shoot down cosmic lightning bolts at it. Nergigante would turn around and smacked the Bazelgeuse with his tail right after, then Rosalina would throw cosmic energy waves at it soon after.
The Bazelgeuse flew up in the air, blindly trying to drop down its explosive scales but Rosalina would hold him in place as the Nergigante would fly up and divebomb it into its scales, then flew away as Rosalina would throw cosmic fireballs at the scales to blow them up and injuring the Bazelgeuse, then threw down a large comet as it exploded into cosmic dust onto the monster right after.
Rosalina and Nergigante landed on the ground soon after, as the Bazelgeuse struggled to get up as it let out one last roar… before falling limp in defeat.
End BGM
"…Ya know, there's something scary about the Cosmic Lady working together with Nergigante that honestly terrifies me." Viridi admitted.
"I'd hate to mess with those two." Palutena said.
"You guys want to head back?" Rosalina asked.
"Yeah… that'd be great." Chelsea nodded as they were surrounded by heavenly lights and were taken away, including the Bazelgeuse.
"I wonder what kind of armor and weapons we'll make out of this bad boy!" Palutena said as taking their place were Golden Deer, Bernadetta and the Gensokyo girls.
"Let's see who we're taking on this time." Claude grinned as they went into the Launch Star and flew off, finding themselves in a forest planet.
"Oh joy, a forest… time to get ourselves lost." Hilda sighed.
"Oh, I'm sure we can find our way through with a bird's eye view." Marisa said as she flew up, while Reisen's rabbit ears twitched.
"Something's not right." Reisen said.
"Waaaah!" Marisa yelped as she dodged an arrow coming toward her. "We better watch out, we got arrows flying at us!"
"Cowardly…" Lysithea growled.
"Judging by the projection, it should be… that way." Eirin said as they flew off while the others ran behind.
As they got closer, they would see the culprit… a wacky looking sentient bow. "Well, there's something you don't see every day." Youmu said.
"The hell…?" Reimu tilted her head.
"A sentient bow… looks like it'll fit right into the Mushroom Kingdom." Lysithea said.
"Or Popstar, I'm sure of it." Claude said.
"Nya, nya! Missed you, I have. Miss you again, I will not!"
"Got a name, ya weirdo?" Marisa asked.
"Bowyer, I am. Pincusions, you will be. NYA NYA, I'LL STUFF YA!"

Yoda Impersonator, He Is - Bowyer
"Okay, so that's what… two references to Super Mario RPG now?" Viridi asked.
"Three, if you wanna count what happened in the paper universe." Palutena responded.
"Oooooh, riiiight… those guys…"
"Sentient bow fight, let's go!" Claude exclaimed, shooting a few arrows but Bowyer would nimbly avoid them.
"Missed me, you have! Better aim, you should have!" Bowyer would fire arrows at his own, trying to shoot down the Gensokoyans as Youmu would fly down and slashed him a few times before Marisa blew him up with a Deep Ecological Bomb. "Nya Nya Nya! A load of this, you will get!" He said, pulling out a few symbols as he fired at one, the arrow striking the symbol… and then the Gensokoyans fell to the ground.
"Wah!" Marisa yelped. "Ooof!"
"Grounded, you are. Fair fight, it will now be!"
"Getting real sick of your lines, I am!" Hilda growled. "…Oh great, now he's got me saying it!"
"Used to it, you will get."
"Used to this axe up your butt, you will get! …AAARGH!" Hilda yelled in frustration as she slashed at the sentient bow with Youmu slashing through him where Eirin unleashed Heaven Spider's Butterfly Capturing Web.
"Argh! Fair, this is not! Too many lasers, there are!"
"Happens when you mess with Gensokyo, that's what!" Reimu exclaimed before blinking. "Hey, this wouldn't happen to be contagious, would it?"
"Doubt it!" Marisa said, firing Starlight Typhoon.
"Hey buddy!" Reisen caught Bowyer's attention as he looked at her, where he would look into her red eyes.
"Feel crazy, I do. Work, it will not. ALREADY INSANE, I AM!"
Reisen shrugged. "Worth a shot." She said, aiming her finger at Bowyer and fired a few lasers, striking him in the face as he would respond by firing arrows but Bernadetta and Claude would fire their arrows to cancel them out while one arrow hit a symbol.
"Nya nya! Abilities are useless, they are!"
"That's fine. I don't need it when I can use THIS!" Marisa yelled as she unleashed Master Spark on him.
"Oh no, our abilities… I'm so sad." Lysithea sarcastically said before pounding him with Hades Omega. "Yeah, whatever!"
"Ow! Oooof! Fight too unfairly, you do! Three against one, the standard was."
"Screw the standards, we do things our own way!" Claude grinned, firing several arrows into Bowyer while Youmu and Hilda had the idea to get behind Bowyer and slashed through the string, both of them high fiving right after.
"Ack! Useless, I am now!"
"Yeah yeah, tell it to someone who cares!" Reimu said, trapping him inside a barrier before snapping her fingers as the barrier exploded.
"YAAAAAAAGH! DEFEATED, I AM! HAUNT YOUR DREAMS IN THE FUTURE, I WILL!" Bowyer yelled before he disappeared.

"Sheesh… what a weirdo." Marisa said.
"Tell me about it! Weird, the dude was! …Gah, come on!" Hilda groaned as the Launch Star appeared.
"Tag out?" Palutena offered.
"Sure!" Claude nodded as they were tagged out for JNPR and CFVY.
"Alright, who are we breaking this time!" Nora smirked as they went into the Launch Star and flew off to the next planet, finding themselves in a grassy-like field with small cliff edges. They would then see their monster of choice, seeing it was minding it's own business.
"An Astalos? Huh, that's interesting…" Viridi mused.
"That's not just any Astalos. That's a Boltreaver Astalos!"
Nora perked up. "Now when you say "Bolt"…"
"Oh boy…" Palutena sweatdropped.
"Ten gold that Nora proceeds to tame this bad boy!" Hades chimed in.
"I can only spot you five…" Viridi spoke up.
"Really? Betting at a time like this?" Yatsuhashi asked.
"Eh, they're gods… what are you gonna do?" Coco shrugged as the Boltreaver turned its gaze to the group, letting out a roar.
"Here we go." Pyrrha took out her Blades of Milo as everyone got ready to fight it, although Nora looked a bit too excited.
"Come to mama." Nora smirked.
BGM: Astalos Theme (Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate)
The Lightning Revolt - Boltreaver Astalos
The Boltreaver would charge at them, firing lightning bolts at them where most of them would dodge while Nora would proceed to absorb the lightning bolts and then jumped over and hammered him on the head to knock him down where Ren would fire arrows and then Jaune and Yatsuhashi slashed it, then Fox punched the Boltreaver to send him flying.
The Boltreaver would catch himself as his whole body crackled with electricity as he would unleash several bolts of lightning where Jaune and Pyrrha would use their shields to block the lightning bolts while Coco got into position and started firing lasers from her minigun. The Boltreaver would fly up into the air and dropped down lightning bolts and lightning orbs on them.
"Whoa!" Coco yelped as she jumped to the side while Velvet would conjure up Pit's Palutena Bow and fired arrows. Pyrrha would throw her blades at the Boltreaver's tail and then yanked it, sending the Boltreaver crashing to the ground as Yatsuhashi, Fox and Jaune slashed him while Ren ran around and shot it up.
"Swing hammer hammer SWING!" Nora swung her hammer down onto the Boltreaver, using her Thunder Hand to electrocute it. The Boltreaver snarled and knocked everyone away, then it would take its full attention to Nora. A human with lightning abilities against him? How amusing!
The Boltreaver let out a roar as a lighting-like beam came out of his head as he came down and impaled Nora, pushing her into a rock and pinning her. "NORA!" Velvet yelled.
"Nora? I'd be more concerned for the Boltreaver!" Coco said as Nora let out a smirk.
"Not what I had in mind… but thanks for the power boost, buddy boy!" She smirked as she enveloped her whole body into electricity while the Boltreaver's eyes widened as it started sweating nervously as she swung her hammer and sent the Boltreaver flying and knocked down several trees. Nora would then fly up with her electricity and then zipped her way to the trees, disappearing from view.
"…I'm gonna go after her." Ren said as he ran off, only for Nora to come back riding on top of the Boltreaver.
"Yeehaw! Woooo! Ride 'em, big guy~!" Nora exclaimed, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"What am I not looking at?" Fox asked.
"Well… she's riding that monster like a bucking bronco." Coco responded as the Boltreaver tried to shake her off but Nora held on tight.
"Woohoooooo! You can't shake me off that easily!" Nora exclaimed as the Boltreaver tried to smack into a cliff wall to get her off, but it would only exhaust itself flailing about until it fell limp on the ground, panting heavily.
"I think you broke it." Ren said.
"Nope! Not this time!" She smiled, using her Thunderhand to zap him to give him a second boost.
"Nora NO!" Yatsuhashi yelled.
"Nora YES!" Nora grinned as the Boltreaver let out a roar, suddenly knocking Nora off of him as he charged at her… but suddenly stopped and nuzzled her.
"HUH?!" Everyone else yelled.

"Aww, you like me, don't you~?" Nora giggled, petting him affectionately. "Yes, after our little tussle, I tamed you, didn't I? A little shock therapy does wonders~! Yes it does~! Yes it does~!"
"…I wouldn't exactly call that shock therapy…" Pyrrha sweatdropped.
"Aaaagh, I'm now down five gold! Dammit Nora! You owe me five gold!" Viridi complained.
"Oh, quit your complaining, rosebud. You can steal from Wario later." Hades smirked.
"…Screw it, I'm going to the Golden Plains after this."
"Come on, Teslo! Let's show everyone how big and ferocious you are!" Nora smiled.
"Teslo?" Everyone asked in unison as they were taken back to the Observatory and the Galarians, Alolans (Minus Umber) and Zinnia were brought over.
"Alright, what are we takin' on!" Gloria smirked, cracking her knuckles as they went into the Launch Star and flew off, finding themselves on top of a mountainous planet.
"Hmm… something feels interesting about this planet." Bede said.
"Yeah… I feel it too." Marnie nodded as they walked around the planet until they saw a shiny Hydreigon flying about.
"Oh my word, that's a shiny Hydreigon!" Lillie exclaimed.
"That's a shiny? Looks more puke green to me." Guzma said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Piers agreed.
"Dibs." Marnie and Zinnia said together, then they both looked at each other.
"He's a dragon. It calls to me."
"I'm a Dark type specialist."
"He's a Dragon!"
"I only have five Pokemon!"
"He's a Pseudo-Legendary!"
"You already have Salamence and Goodra! Not to mention you tamed Rayquaza!"
"…You still only have five Dark Types? You could easily snatch a Thievul." Hop pointed out.
"I dunno… that never caught my interest."
"I could easily snatch you a Zigzagoon." Piers offered.
"Nah…"
"Skorupi?" Gloria offered.
"Drapion's too creepy…"
"Mawile! …Wait, no, that's not a Dark type." Hau mumbled.
"Hmm, actually… maybe a Mawile to mix things up a bit?" Lillie suggested.
"Absol? …No, wait, Blake has that one." Bede said.
"How about an Alolan Grimer?" Hau brought up.
"Ew, no!"
"Pancham?" Lillie asked.
"Bea has a Pangoro. I don't wanna copy her." Marnie said.
"How about a Cacturne?" Zinnia offered.
"Hmm… nah."
"Krookodile then!"
"Is there a fish out there that's a Dark type?" Hop asked. "Aside from Crawdaunt and the Carvanha line… like… oh! A Qwilfish!"
"I doubt one exists." Bede responded.
"Okay, how about this." Zinnia pulled out a coin. "Heads, you keep it. Tails, I keep it."
"Deal." Marnie nodded.
"Call it!" She flipped it.
"Heads." Marnie called as the coin landed on the ground… only to strangely land on its side.
"Huh?!" Zinnia looked at it in surprise.
"What does landing on the side mean?" Marnie asked.
"I dunno, this never happened in the history of coin tossing before!"
"So what do we do?"
"I dunno… we're in uncharted territory!"
"Co-parent, I guess?" Hau asked.
Guzma rubbed his chin in thought. "So the scot and the punk are a couple, yet the punk and the wild child are gonna co-parent that thing… so what, does that make this a threesome?" He smirked, only to get smacked upside the head by Lillie's Bewear. "OOOOF!"
"Forgive him, for he doesn't know what he says." Lillie said in annoyance.
"Rrrgh… dammit Lillie!" Guzma groaned, having a large goose egg on his head.
"I don't swing that way, dude. Though I have been curious a few times… buuuut, eh, I'm good." Zinnia chuckled. "…Co-parenting a Hydreigon… interesting."
"Eh, we both have it… so why not." Marnie shrugged as she saw Zinnia pull out an Ultra Ball. "Ah, gonna battle it?"
"Who said anything about that?" Zinnia smirked as she dove for cover, sneaking between rocks while the Hydreigon was minding its business. "That's it… just ignore me, honey~" She grinned, aiming at the Hydreigon as she would then throw it at the Hydreigon, smacking it in the back and then it went into the ball. "Got ya!" She fist pumped.
One shake.
Two shakes.
Three shakes…
It got out.
"Crap!" Zinnia quietly said as the Hydreigon flew away before turning around.
"Drei… DREI DREI DREIGOOOOOOOOON!"
"Welp, he's pissed!" Gloria exclaimed.
"I hate to alarm you, but this planet's got some massive energy spikes… I'm not sure what it is though." Palutena said as energy slowly started to build up around the Hydreigon… until it suddenly grew large.

Dynamaxed Brutal Pokemon - Hydreigon
"HYDREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEI!"
"Dynamax?!" Marnie exclaimed in surprise as she had an idea. "Guys!"
"On it!" Gloria nodded, calling out Cinderace, Marnie called out her Grimmsnarl, Hop called out his Rillaboom and Bede called out his Hatterene. All of them would then proceed to Gigantamax their Pokemon.
"…No, it's cool. I'll just have Obstagoon deal with this." Piers said.
"Golisopod, get out from underneath that rock!" Guzma ordered.
"Goliso! Gol Gol!"
"I know he's huge, but ya don't need to hide under a rock!"
"Clefable, Metronome!" Lillie ordered.
"Noivern, Dragon Pulse!" Hau yelled.
"Let's do this big guy!" Zinnia hopped on Rayquaza as he unleashed Hyper Beam as Hydreigon did the same thing, both of their Hyper Beams colliding… until Clefable's Metronome kicked in, which was Moonblast that struck the Hydreigon… and then got completely destroyed by everyone's G-Max moves, Noivern's Dragon Pulse, Rayquaza's Hyper Beam, Obstagoon's Shadow Claw and a reluctant Golisopod's First Impression which resulted in Hydreigon exploding and shrunk back down to normal size where Marnie would pull out an Ultra Ball and threw it at the Hydreigon, and three shakes later… it clicked.
End BGM
"Got ya." Marnie smiled.
"Alright, we got a Hydreigon!" Zinnia grinnned, high fiving Marnie as the G-Maxed Pokemon shrunk back to size as they put away their Pokemon soon after.
"Alright, sending in a new batch!" Viridi said as they were replaced by the Phantom Thieves.
"Alright, let's go." Akira said as they hopped into the Launch Star and flew off to a mechanized planet.
"This seems a bit familiar." Futaba said. "Almost like-"
THUD!
BGM: Boss Prelude (Kirby's Return to Dreamland)
All of them turned around, seeing a giant robot in front of them. "Oh, we're in killer robot land." Ryuji groaned.
"That's not a robot, it's a mech! It's HR-D3!" Futaba exclaimed.
"It's gonna be scrap metal by the time we're done with it~!" Haru smiled sadistically before pulling out an axe while Makoto shuddered next to her.
"You ready for this?" Akechi asked.
"Ready as we'll ever be. PERSONA!" Akira yelled.

BGM: Landia (Kirby's Return to Dreamland)
Halcandra Robot Design 3 - HR-D3
HR-D3 would proceed to fire missiles at the group, forcing them all to dodge although Crow would slash through the missiles. "Buffing you guys up!" Oracle said, buffing their attack power as Noir would proceed to shoot it with her grenade launcher.
HR-D3 would then try to skewer them with its drill, but Fox and Joker would dodge as Skull went into Morgana and drove right into him to try to topple him. "Ow!" Morgana winced.
"Sorry dude, thought that would work!" Skull said as he backed up, only for Queen to jump on top of Morgana as HR-D3 would punch at her as Queen would do the same, adding some Atomic Flare to the punch as she slugged at the fist, causing a massive explosion that would knock the mech back, destroying part of its arm as Panther would do a few frontflips and threw several fireballs at it.
HR-D3 would open its mouth and fired a laser at the group as it would spin around to try and hit them while Crow and Noir would run next to it, cutting through with their axe and Quasarsaber as they would slash through the metal. It would then lift up as a drill came out from the bottom and tried to skewer the two with the drill, but they would jump back as it fired missiles at them again but they would punch/slash their way through the missiles, although Morgana would use Magarudyne to blow the missiles back into HR-D3.
"Alright, bomb deployed!" Oracle said, dropping a bomb nearby. "Someone give it a good kick!" She requested as Joker ran over and kicked the bomb, hitting it directly into HR-D3 but it would catch the bomb right after. It let out some mech noises as if it was chuckling at them.
"Oh darn, it would be a shame if someone added some fire to it!" Panther would throw in Maragidyne at the bomb, and once it connected, it exploded into the mech's face, leaving behind its wire framed body… only until Noir placed some well placed grenades and caused it to crumple over and fall apart until there was nothing left.
End BGM
"I have to say, that was a lot easier than the fight in Return to Dreamland." Oracle chuckled.
"I wonder if I can upgrade my grenade launcher…" Noir wondered aloud. "Hmm, maybe Chiaki might have something for me."
"Tagging you guys out." Palutena said as they were replaced by JINXY and Umber, then they went into the Launch Star and launched away to a muddy-like planet, and once they landed, mud splattered everywhere.
"Well, I guess we're getting down and dirty here." Nyx snickered.
"Alright, who are we fighting? Give us your best shot." Xena said, all of them looking around until the mud started to rise up behind them until a Grimm shot out. Iris would immediately turn around, quickly shooting at the Grimm's belly.
"Move!" She told the others as they would jump back as the Grimm would smack her away, but she blocked the attack as she slid through the mud.
The Grimm in question looked like a giant cockroach-like beast. It has long antennae on each side of the reptilian head, giant claw-like hands, three white spikes on the back of its upper arms, and a long tail. "One of these things, huh?" Iris got in her stance.
"What the hell kind of Grimm is this?" Umber wondered.
"Earth Dragons. Commonly found on the island where I'm from." Iris responded. "These things tend to dig through the earth and surprise their opponents. My cousin and I sometimes had contests to see who would take these guys out first."
"Well, good thing there's one. Let's see if we can't knock this thing out together!" Jade said as they got ready to fight it.
BGM: Nanteki (Akame Ga Kill)
Groundbreaking Grimm - Earth Dragon
The Earth Dragon let out a roar as it would reach over and clawed at Xena, but she backflipped. "Okay, you got any tips to fight this thing?"
"We usually go for the hide. It's pretty much the most defenseless part of the Grimm apart from the head. However, it's pretty thick!"
"So it's just a matter of patience. I see here." Nyx smirked. "Xena. Yagami! You two and your boyfriend cover me, i'm gonna be busy!"
"You got it!" Xena nodded as they got in front of Nyx where she went right to work while Umber fired Plasma bolts at the Grimm where Jade would shoot out ice at the Earth Dragon's hide.
The Earth Dragon would swipe at Jade, her semblance activating as it went through her as Jade would jump to the side as Iris would flank the Earth Dragon and shot at the Grimm's hide as she got into position, then the Grimm would dig underground.
"Oh, I see... game of patience." Jade said.
"Pretty much." Iris responded as she waited, then the Earth Dragon emerged behind Xena and Umber, the former quickly making a telekinetic wall to block the Grimm's advances, then the Grimm would move around the wall and then tackled Xena, but she shattered into mirror shards, which would disorient the Grimm.
"Gods, I love disorienting people."
Xena let out a laugh. "Oh you." She said, conjuring up a telekinetic sword and slashing at the hide with Umber firing plasma bolts at it's hide. The Earth Dragon turned around and clawed at the two, but Xena would telekinetically leave the jaws open. "Yagami!"
"On it!" Yagami took over as she would conjure up a telekinetic bomb. "Feeling hungry? Here's a snack!" She threw the bomb into the mouth and forced it shut, then the bomb exploded inside of it.
"Oooh, explosion indigestion. Ouch." Umber snickered.
"Ah, he'll get over it." Yagami said, taking Umber and teleporting away as the Earth Dragon dug into the ground again and then emerged from Iris's position.
"You guys are always noisy coming out of the ground!" Iris said as she jumped back and shot it up, then Jade came running in and aimed her Poltergust, firing ice chunks at it as it would claw her, but she would take a step back to avoid it's attacks, then Iris would shoot at it's hide.
The Earth Dragon snarled as it went to dig deep into the earth again, however it would get itself caught in a few bear traps that sprung up, then a few Turrets came up and shot at the beast before bomb arrows came raining down and exploded onto it.
"Ho, that's beautiful!" Nyx grinned as Yagami telekinetically picked it up and flipped him on his back.
"Uh oh, your stomach's exposed. It'd be a shame if we skinned ya alive!" Yagami smirked as Iris would switch her gun to the blade form and then stabbed it in the stomach and cut it open, then she stabbed it again for good measure before it faded away in death.
End BGM
"Can I just say I love your chaotic nature?" Umber smiled.
"Aww, we know you love it." Yagami giggled, kissing him on the cheek.
"How do you feel that you killed another one?" Nyx asked.
"Eh, killed a bunch before. Nothing special at this point." Iris chuckled as they were taken away via heavenly light and were replaced by the Keyblade Wielders.
"Alright, who are we tackling!" Sora smirked as they got into the Launch Star and flew away into a desert planet.
"What, we fighting a Diablos?" Terra asked. "I'm guessing it's corrupted."
Roxas would notice something rise out of the ground. "Here it comes!" He said as suddenly, a Phazon Chimera rose out of the ground as it let out a roar.
BGM: Hunter of the Dark (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep)
"This thing again?" Riku asked.
"I'm guessing it's another one or it survived Boo Moon." Aqua responded.
"Either way, stay on your guard!" Mickey said as they got ready to fight it. The Phazon Chimera roared... until something landed behind the Chimera, kicking up sand and swiftly beheaded it without much effort.
End BGM
"Huh?!" Kairi said in surprise as Sora would narrow his eyes, seeing a silhouette behind the sand. His eyes widened in horror.
"...Shit." Sora cursed under his breath.
"Whoa!" Riku exclaimed. "Where did you learn that?!"
In the past...
"Alright Sora, I'm making a killer casserole that's gonna knock your socks off!" Mythra grinned.
"That's great." Sora smiled... and then suddenly, the casserole burst into flames. "Uh... Mythra?"
"Huh? ACK!" Mythra yelped. "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!" She yelled, trying to fan the flames.
"Definitely killer, all right. It killed itself!" Kazooie snarked.
"I DON'T NEED YOUR SHITTY OPINION, BIRD!" Mythra yelled.
Pyra put her hand on Sora's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll make you something better." She said with a wink.
End Flashback...
Kairi rubbed her chin in thought. "Could've been you. You tend to mutter that under your breath."
"Me? I say "damn" at worst! It was probably Lea or Terra!"
"I'm nowhere near Sora when I cuss... not that I'm aware of at least!" Terra defended.
"Sora? Why do you look pale?" Roxas asked.
"I know what's behind that sand cloud..." Sora grimaced as the dust cloud disappeared, revealing a massive Heartless with four arms, four swords and a Cobra head.
BGM: The Deep End (Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix)
Agrabah's Silencer - Kurt Zisa
"Anything you know about this guy?" Riku asked.
"Yes. This guy's name is Kurt Zisa. He tends to silence you, he's hard hitting and makes you drain your magic when he has his shield up."
"Silence meaning...?" Kairi asked.
"Your magic is blocked off temporarily." Aqua explained.
"Oh."
"But you have experience with this guy, so this should be a piece of cake." Terra said.
"Doubtful." Sora mumbled. "But let's do it!"
Kurt Zisa would proceed to slash at Sora and Kairi, but the two of them would block his attacks as Terra and Mickey would flank him on both sides as they would both slash at Kurt Zisa. The Heartless would jump back and then would silence Terra and Aqua.
"Nngh! What…?" Terra wondered as he tried to use a Dark Firaga. "Why can't I-… oh, you bastard!"
"See those glowing parts on his hands? Destroy those and you'll get your magic back." Sora said.
"We're on it!" Terra said as he and Aqua ran toward Kurt Zisa, but he would jump back and let out a hiss. "Quit taunting us and fight us like a snake!" Terra growled.
"Easier said than done…" Aqua sweatdropped.
"I'm on it!" Riku said, using Dark Aura on Kurt Zisa. However, the Heartless would block the attack and countered Riku, sending him back. "Rrrgh! I can see why you're not a fan of this guy!" He said, throwing a Dark Firaga down, then Roxas would get behind Kurt Zisa and used Zantetsuken to slash through the glowing hands and then slashed the Heartless with pillars of light raining down.
Terra felt his power return. "Now that's more like it." He smirked as Aqua would use a Curaga on Riku while Terra went for a Blizzaga before he cast Meteor, striking Kurt Zisa. The Heartless would proceed to rush through and slashed at Sora viciously as he used Reflega to protect himself as Kairi would use Thundara on him with Aqua using Raging Storm on him.
Kurt Zisa would then surround himself in a forcefield right as Roxas would slash right at him, bouncing right off of him. "Mmph!" Roxas grunted. "Alright… guess we're gonna do this the hard way then!"
"I got this." Kairi said, stabbing Subcon Blast into the ground as an explosion shot out of the ground underneath Kurt Zisa, eradicating the force field. "Who said you needed to waste magic on this guy?" Kairi grinned as Mickey jumped in and used Stopza on the Heartless, then Sora would AirStep toward Kurt Zisa and slashed his way through him with Ars Arcanum and Riku dropping in with a Dark Aura and then hit him with a Thundaga, then Aqua used Magic Hour on him.
Time resumed for Kurt Zisa as he spun around and slashed them. Kairi would block but she was knocked off of her feet while Terra slid a few feet as Kurt Zisa slashed at him viciously, but then Terra would parry him. "Here it comes!" He said as he used Chaos Blade, and then unleashed Geo Impact right after, knocking Kurt Zisa off of his feet, and then Roxas came up behind Kurt Zisa and slashed through the neck to behead the Heartless as he faded away instantly.
End BGM
"That wasn't so bad." Terra said and turned to Sora. "What were you complaining about? He wasn't that horrible!"
Flashback…
"Donald! I could use an Ether!" Sora exclaimed after running out of magic. "DONALD!" He yelled as he would turn to see him KO'd on the sand.
"Don't worry, Sora! I got a Mega Ether right he-" Kurt Zisa backhanded him into the barrier. "Oooof!" He grunted, as stars surrounded his head immediately after.
"…Crud." Sora groaned.
End Flashback…
"It was an ambush." Sora mumbled.
"Ah, that makes sense." Terra shrugged.
"Well, look at the bright side! At least he didn't partner up with a time draining, soul snatching Phantom!" Hades said.
"Mmph!" Sora stiffened, paling at the thought of it.
"Hades, I think you broke him. He's shaking like a leaf!" Aqua said.
"Did I break the Key boy? Awesome!"
"Breathe, Sora! Breathe!" Riku put his hands on his shoulders as they were taken back to the Observatory as Fox, Falco, Krystal and Wolf appeared next as the Launch Star appeared shortly after.
"Let's go." Fox said as the four of them went into the Launch Star and flew off… however, midway through the launch, they would see a planet that was crawling with Phazon.
"Palutena, have Ruby at the ready." Wolf said.
"You got it!"
The four of them landed on the ground, their weapons drawn as they would slowly walk around, keeping their eyes peeled for any enemy. Wolf would pick something up on his scanner. "Heads up!" He said as he dove out of the way while Phazonic tentacles grabbed a hold of Fox, Falco and Krystal.
"Rrrgh! What…?!" Krystal wondered.
"The hell is this!" Falco growled.
"Hmph, you have some nerve." A voice said as Wolf would turn his head to see Dark Samus approaching them.
"Well, if it isn't the expired blueberry." Wolf smirked.
"You think you can get away with betraying me?" Dark Samus glared. "I'll make you pay for such treason!"
"You know… instead of wasting your tentacles on people. You might as well just spray me with Phazon to get me to "behave." He said.
"How do I know this isn't a trick?"
Wolf smirked, taking off his reflector and tossing it to the side and held his arms out. "No tricks. I was wrong to betray you. I will do what you desire. Hit me with your Phazon and I promise not to dodge."
"Just to make sure you'll hold your end of the bargain." Dark Samus snapped her fingers as tentacles wrapped around his feet. She smirked and then aimed her hand at Wolf. "Frankly, I'd rather see you die by my phazon!" She yelled, firing a large stream of Phazon straight for Wolf, who still had a smirk on his face.
Dark Samus would watch as the phazon hit her target with a phazonic explosion. "Good." She smirked.
"Heh… ya know, that actually tickled!"
"What…?" Dark Samus wondered as the smoke cleared as Ruby was standing between them, her hand reached out as she had absorbed the Phazon within her.
"Sup?" Ruby smiled.
"The red rose…? Pffft… HAHAHAHA! So you took the hit for him! Oh, that's adorable! You played the hero and you paid the price for it. Oh, that's cute… but no matter. I can work with this. Ruby, now that you're under my control, I order you to take Wolf's head off!"
"Yes, my queen. I will do what you ask." Ruby said as she raised her scythe up high… and then suddenly Phazonic vines with rose thorns grabbed a hold of her.
"Agh! What… no, I'm not your enemy! THEY ARE!"
"Oh, you expired blueberry idiot." Ruby smirked. "You're not the only one who can control the phazon. Let's just say I had help from an… acquaintance of mine." She said.
"What?!" Dark Samus growled as she would witness Ruby casually absorbing the tentacles surrounding Fox, Falco, and Krystal.
"Another thing." Ruby would put her hand on Wolf's back as phazon coursed through his veins, with Dark Samus's eyes widened in shock.
BGM: Rivers in the Desert - Scramble (Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers)
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Wolf howled.
"No… no, this can't be… HOW?!" Dark Samus yelled.
Wolf smirked. "What's the matter, scared?" He taunted as Ruby would do the same thing for Fox, Falco and Krystal.
Dark Samus snarled, breaking out of her prison. "You may have the power of Phazon… but you'll NEVER overpower ME!"
Ruby smirked. "Wanna bet?"
Phazon Duel - Dark Samus
Ruby would quickly use her semblance on Dark Samus, the latter would fire phazon at her but Ruby would weave through it and then slashed at Dark Samus. The latter grabbing a hold of her throat, but Ruby would lift her hand up as a pool of Phazon would rise up and slammed into Dark Samus to push her away, then she summoned a few Fission Metroids as they would fly at her.
Dark Samus took a step back, conjuring up Phazon Missiles and fired at the Metroids, but Ruby would command them to move around the missiles as they would then latch onto her. "Rrrgh! Get… OFF!" She growled as Wolf would appear behind Dark Samus and Phazon Slashed her with his claws. Dark Samus would get knocked back as she would throw phazon tentacles at him but Fox got in the way and used his reflector to send them back, then he jumped up into the air as blue fire surrounded him as he Phazon Fox'd into her, then Krystal would freeze Dark Samus's feet and then waved her staff in the air as phazon icicles came down and struck her.
Falco would flank her as Dark Samus turned to him and shot Phazon at him, but he jumped over the air and used a Falco Phantasm, going straight through her as phazon exploded behind him as Dark Samus was flown in the air, then Wolf used Wolf Flash, slashing her down to the ground as Dark Samus heard a howl where she looked up and saw a few Phazon Zinogres coming through and bit down on her.
Dark Samus tried to get them off but then Ruby, who went into her Zinogre form came from behind and viciously slashed her, then she flashed her fangs as electricity came out of her mouth as she pounced on her and bit down on her shoulder, while also electrocuting Dark Samus as she screamed in agony before she let go, then Ruby would raise her hand up as electric Phazon came out from under her and went through the Metroid Prime.
Dark Samus would get back up, glaring at Ruby as she unleashed a stream of phazon at her where Ruby did the same, both of them clashing… but Ruby's phazon powered through as Dark Samus's eyes widened as she got hit with it. "AAAAAAGH!" She cried as she fell on her knees in defeat.
End BGM
"Looks like my phazon can overpower yours." Ruby smirked.
"Rrrgh… you think you've won… you think you can just overpower me just because you can control it… WELL, THAT'S NOT-"
"Ya know, tell it to someone who cares." Ruby shrugged it off before smirking. "That said, now that I had a taste for you, I could maul you right here and now."
Dark Samus growled, opening up a portal. "This isn't over!" She said as she ran inside.
"Yeah, you better run!" Falco said.
"Hmm, I guess Ruby tends to go feral in that form." Fox said.
"Eh, decided to let instinct kick in and see what it was like to go crazy." Ruby shrugged as she went back to her normal form. "Blegh…"
"Didn't like the taste?" Wolf teased.
"Well, now I know what Phazon tastes like… not exactly a fan." Ruby said. "…Oh! Hold on a second." She would proceed to get the phazon out of them. "There we go."
"Thanks." Krystal nodded as they would disappear into the heavenly lights as Luigi, Daisy, Peach and Bowser came out.
"Alright, let's see what kind of carnage we can do." Bowser smirked as they got into the Launch Star and flew off, landing on a planet that was filled with green and Warp Pipes everywhere.
"Think we'll expect an ambush?" Daisy asked.
"Probably." Luigi nodded as they walked around, their guards up as they turned their heads to see who they would be fighting. It was right then that someone came out of a red Warp Pipe and leaped out, ready to attack Luigi from behind. Bowser would shift his eyes before turning around and back handed the assailant.
"Well! If it isn't the plumber." Bowser smirked.
BGM: Bowser Appears (Super Mario Galaxy)
"That's Mr. M to you, Koopa." Mario responded.
"Mr. M! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! It sounds completely dumb coming out of your mouth!"
"Mario!" Luigi exclaimed as they got in fighting stances.
"Look at you. All together again!" He smirked. "It seems as if you're doing pretty well."
"Well, we're not complete without you, bud." Daisy said, cracking her knuckles. "So let's just have our little spar and we can get you out of your funk."
"Now why would I want to be with you? After all, you didn't seem interested in trying to save me. I had thought you had all but left me."
"Huh?" Peach tilted her head. "No, we couldn't figure out where you were! While everyone was on a galactic adventure, we would try to find you. Rosie, Polari and Lubba tried everything but they couldn't find you no matter how hard they tried! Even Samus couldn't find you!"
"Hmph… nothing but lies."
"…My god, what did Dimentio put into this man's head?" Daisy wondered.
"All of you will just leave me behind… especially you!" He pointed to Luigi.
"Huh?!"
"While it's true you tend to visit every now and then… it's been lonely without ya. What if one day, you'll stop visiting?"
"Eh?! Where is this all coming from?!" Luigi said in surprise. "I like visiting you as much as I like hanging out with Daisy or Marnie and Neo!"
"…Daisy." Peach said in a low voice.
"Yeah?"
"We're castrating Dimentio after this."
"Whoa, girl! Never thought I'd hear that out of you. I like it." Daisy smirked.
Mario would notice heavenly lights surrounding him as he would see RWBY, JNPR, Yoshi, Pit, Roman, Neo, Junior, Kamek, General Guy, the Koopalings, Rei, Bowsette, Marnie and the rest of the Koopa Troop surrounding him.
"Mario! Just stand down, big guy!" Pit said, aiming his Palutena Bow at him. "We don't wanna hurt you."
Mario closed his eyes and then let out a chuckle. "Just try to stop me." He said, his fist bursting into flame.
End BGM
"Let's-a go." Mario said lowly as he punched the ground, a firey shockwave struck the ground and caught everyone in its blast, sending mostly everyone flying while Bowser slid a few inches.
"Bring it, plumber!" Bowser roared.
BGM: Sudden Death (Mario Strikers Charged)
Plumber in Distress - Mr. M
Mario and Bowser rushed toward each other, both of them delivering a punch as they would both connect and sent each other sliding as Mario jumped over and hammered Bowser, but the Koopa King defended himself and then slugged him in the gut, pushing him into a Warp Pipe as he breathed fire at him but Mario would roll around and rushed toward Bowser, jumping over some fireballs as he slugged him in the face as he would then kick Bowser away before throwing a stream of fire at him, but Bowser would breathe fire, both of them connecting.
"Hiyah!" Pit slashed Mario from the side, then Bowser's flames hit the plumber but he would wrap it around himself and shot it out at Pit, but he would slide underneath the flames as he would summon Tiger Claws and slashed him, but Mario would grab a hold of him and threw him to a pipe where Morton launched out of it.
"MORTON SMASH!" Morton yelled, slamming into the ground and slugged Mario, but he backflipped and would jump over to hammer him, but a Koopa shell struck him in the head as he slid a few feet on the ground while Captain Koopa got up as Roy fired Bullet Bills from above, with the help of General Guy.
Mario would swiftly jump on the Bullet Bills and headed his way toward the two, but he would shift his eyes and then landed on a Warp Pipe, bringing out his hammer and blocking a hammer swing from Nora as the two would swing their hammers, both of them canceling each other out until Nora parried him and knocked the hammer down the warp pipe, only for Mario to sweep kick Nora and then he backflipped into the Warp Pipe.
He emerged out of the Warp Pipe, only to nearly get hit in the head by his own hammer. "Looking for this? Bahahaha!" Iggy laughed as Mario would swiftly dodge the hammer swings and then noticed a Zappakoopa next to him, ready to zap him. However, Mario picked it up and threw it into Iggy's face, electrocuting him instead as Mario grabbed the hammer and hammered Iggy away, then he backflipped off of the Warp Pipe and landed next to Junior who was in his Shadow Mario form.
"I got ya!" He said as he and Mario would strike a punch as they would both slide back, then Mario wall jumped between Warp Pipes and then launched off, proceeding to punch Shadow Mario from above but he backflipped. However, Mario punched the ground and left a crater, knocking Shadow Mario off his feet as Mario would then run over to hammer him, but then Yang and Bowsette came in and punched Mario to send him flying to Ruby where she threw in a Phazonic Tornado to send Mario up in the air, then Daisy and Marnie jumped out of two warp pipes as they would both front flip before axe kicking him to the ground, and then Captain Goomba came down and headbonked him and Captain Slime slashed him away.
Mario recovered soon after but then found himself caught in Wendy's rings, but to her surprise, he ripped them off and threw them back at Wendy, forcing her to roll out of the way. Mario turned around and then hammered away several eggs that Yoshi threw. Mario shifted his eyes as he would backflip away from being stabbed by both Neo and Weiss, but would get caught up in Blake's ribbon as she threw him over to a Warp Pipe as Captain Shy Guy threw turnips while Yoshi egg rolled over to Mario.
"Barinnnn ha!" Yoshi yelled, ground pounding Mario right after, but Mario got back up and punched the dinosaur but Yoshi caught it with his hand and kicked him in the gut before headbutting him over to Jaune and he slashed him, but Mario flipped and dodged the swing, then Goomba stomped Jaune on the head as he launched off, then he flipped to narrowly avoid Kamek's magic as he puched the Magikoopa right after but he disappeared as Rei would float up and struck him with a few Will o Wisps.
"Mmph!" Mario said as he fell on the ground, shivering a little and dodged a few shots from Roman as Captain Boo snuck up behind him and slapped him a few times before disappearing, then Mario would turn around and ducked to avoid a kick from Ren as he would sweep kick him to knock him on his back, then avoided fireballs from Ludwig, Larry and Lemmy who had thrown bouncy spike balls at him.
"Hmph!" Mario would jump up in the air, dodging fireballs from Pyrrha as he would then punch her in the gut, but Pyrrha would block this and then punched him right back, however Mario would catch this and would attempt to twist her arm, but Luigi would come in with a lightning bolt to knock him back.
"Let's make things interesting." Luigi said, waving his hand as computer screens came up in front of him and then he summoned a robot, which was none other than Brobot as it would punch at Mario, but he swiftly jumped up into the air to dodge as his fist turned into flames as he swung his arm down but Luigi would pull out a shotgun and fired electric bullets that struck the plumber and knocked him down to the ground but he got back up.
Mario glared at Luigi as he ran over to him, but then Bowser jumped in and grabbed a hold of him. "Rrrgh!" He growled.
"Peach, now!" Bowser yelled as Peach unclasped her hands as she snapped her fingers. Bowser would proceed to throw Mario into the air and then Ruby would throw up phazon thorns to grab a hold of Mario to hold him as sheep landed right on top of the plumber, instantly making him fall asleep.
End BGM
Ruby would gently lower Mario down while Peach would use Curaga on everyone, then she would walk over and gently cradle Mario in her arms. "Is he back to normal?" Weiss asked.
"Well, I don't think so… but just to be on the safe side." Kamek threw magic at Mario as an aura enveloped him before it disappeared. "There we go. Did away with Dimentio's magic. He's back with us."
"Woo! We got Mario back!" Daisy cheered as they would suddenly see a Daredevil Comet flying overhead, and then saw a planet appearing in the distance with a Launch Star appearing nearby.
"What's all that?" Marnie asked.
"I'm not sure… but I'm sending in another team. You guys are coming back." Palutena said as they were taken away and were replaced by Hat Kid, Samus, Chell and GLaDOS.
"Okay, wonder what this is all about." Samus said as they went into the Launch Star as they would see the planet nearby.
"What the… is that…?!" Hat Kid exclaimed in surprise as they landed.
"You look surprised." GLaDOS said.
"Yeah, because this is Snatcher's arena!"
"Awww, I'm flattered, kid!" A voice said as Snatcher appeared in the pool. "But yeah, you're fightin' ME!"
"Snatcher! What the peck are you doing?" Hat Kid asked.
"I'm done playing the hero. I'm going back to doing what I do best. Cause infinite chaos! HAHAHAHA!" Snatcher smirked.
"You what?!" Samus said in surprise.
"Hahahahaha! FOOOOOOOLS! Time you saw what I'm really capable of. SAY GOODBYE TO THOSE LITTLE HEADS OF YOURS!"
BGM: Your Contract Has Expired (A Hat in Time)
Up to Something - Snatcher
Snatcher would proceed to have explosions come out of the ground underneath the four, forcing them to dodge as Samus would fire Micro Missiles at him as Hat Kid would fire a laser from her umbrella, but Snatcher would let out a fake yawn.
"That the best you can do?" He asked, summoning little minions as he swung them around as they would either roll or jump over as Chell fired a portal from below and above Snatcher as she hopped down and landed on Snatcher's head. "Get off!" He said, throwing her down as he would then summon a few potions and throw them down at the ground.
"I don't get it. Why would he do this?" GLaDOS wondered.
"Guess he's bored!" Hat Kid responded.
"HAVE A THOUSAND POTIONS!" Snatcher yelled, throwing a thousand potions at the group, then he would disappear into the ground and then popped back up, making shockwaves to try and trip them off.
"Ahahahahaha!" A voice laughed as Dimentio appeared in the arena. "Friends fighting friends, that's truly a spectacle to see! Mind if I join in and cause some chaos of my own?"
End BGM
Snatcher suddenly stopped attacking them. "Hmhmhmhmhmhm…"
"Hmm?" Dimentio wondered
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! YOU FELL RIGHT INTO MY TRAP!"
"…Huh?!" Hat Kid, Samus and GLaDOS said while Chell looked surprised.
"What trap did I fall-" Snatcher snapped his fingers as Dimentio was suddenly taken to a dark void.
"Huh?!"
Snatcher appeared in front of Dimentio. "That fight was nothing more than a ruse! It was bait in hopes to lure you in… and you fell for it hook line and sinker!" He laughed.
"WHAT?!"
"Indeed. A little cat and mouse never hurt anyone!" Snatcher smirked. "Oh, and by the way… I heard this little lady wanted some action with ya. You two play nice now!" He said as he disappeared into the darkness, and behind him… was none other than Namine.
"Ah, so you're that girl that hangs out with the Keyblade Wielders, hmm?" Dimentio asked.
"You got that right." Namine got in her stance, magic coming out of her hands.
"Oho, so you're the magician of the team!"
"I prefer being called a witch."
"Well! I can say that by the time I'm done with you, we can become unstoppable!"
"Sorry, I don't work with clowns." Namine smirked. "Now let's see who's the better magic user."
BGM: Your Contract Has Expired - A Hat In Time (GaMetal)
The Bamboozled Clown - Dimentio
Dimentio smirked, throwing magic at Namine as she aimed her hand and threw Firaga to counter the magic as then Namine would run ahead and snapped her fingers, as a Thundaga came crashing down on Dimentio.
"Not bad!" Dimentio said, snapping his fingers as he would split himself up to surround Namine as they would fire magic at her, but she would proceed to surround herself in balloons and then snapped her fingers as the balloons would fly toward the clones as a few of them hit the real Dimentio.
"There you are." Namine said as she wrapped herself around in wind and launched herself up in the air and threw a Blizzaga Pursuit at Dimentio, but he disappeared and reappeared behind Namine and fired point blank magic at her, knocking her to the ground but she got back up as she would find herself encased in a box made by Dimentio.
"Sayonara!" He said, snapping his fingers as the box exploded but Namine used Reflega to protect herself as Namine raised her hand up right after and unleashed Hades Omega on him, sending down a wave of purple paint on him that exploded right after, then Namine would conjure up water and threw Waterga to wash the paint off of Dimentio before adding Thundaga to the water to electrocute him.
Dimentio snarled as he snapped his fingers as Namine ran to him, as fireballs rose up from the ground to try to incinerate her but she rolled out of the way as an explosion appeared behind her, the shockwave was enough to send her flying to Dimentio, but she smirked and then suddenly, brushes of all kinds surrounded him as they would swarm him and pelted him all over as Namine grabbed onto a roller brush and swung it down onto Dimentio, sending him crashing down.
"Hades, Swarm… goodness, I gotta thank Lysithea for this later." Namine told herself as she unleashed Dark Spikes soon after.
"Rrrgh! So the little kid taught ya a few tricks! But at least she didn't tell you how to teleport!"
"…What is it with people and jinxing themselves?" Namine wondered, paint rising up from under her and wrapped around her entire body before enveloping her as the paint fell to the ground with Namine nowhere to be seen. Dimentio's eyes widened as paint rose up behind him and then Namine walked out, snapping her fingers as markers surrounded Dimentio and drew on him as it would drain his power and healed Namine up.
"Rrrgh… markers that drain me?!"
"My version of Nosferatu." Namine casually said as she threw a Blizzaga at Dimentio, striking him in the chest and then Namine would then pull out a few crayons and drew dots all over her sketchbook. "Good enough." She said, snapping her fingers as the colored dots came off the page and swarmed Dimentio in a colorful mist.
"Mmmph! Can't… breathe!"
"Alright, now that Miasma's down…" Namine clapped her hands together until she was trapped in another box.
"You will not make a fool out of-" A heavenly light came crashing down onto Dimentio. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He cried as he fell to the ground in defeat as the box disappeared.
End BGM
"Huh, what do you know, she's right. Abraxas is a good finisher." Namine chuckled as she walked over to him and then pulled out a Power Star from her pocket. "I'll take that!"
"Nicely done! That sweet loving fiend taught you well!" Snatcher said as he popped back up. "Now… what would be a nice fitting punishment for the so-called pleaser of crowds… oh, I know!" He snapped his fingers as a portal opened up as Doom Guy walked out. "Tear off his arms for me, would ya? He has no use for 'em."
With a nod, Doom Guy walked over to him and pressed his foot on his back and then grabbed both of his arms. "What are you-… no… no! NOOOO!" Dimentio yelled as Doom Guy ripped off his arms. "AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
"Oh my…" Namine grimaced, her stomach turning a bit.
"There, now you need no more of your magic." Snatcher said.
"Hmhmhmhm… hahahahaha!" Dimentio teleported away from Doom Guy as he floated above them armless. "You fools… you think you can just disarm me like that?! GET A LOAD OF THIS!" He yelled as he let out a yell before suddenly… new arms appeared on him. "Ta-dah!"
"What the…?!" Namine said in surprise.
"You really thought that would be the end for my arms? Please. It wasn't the first time I got my arms ripped off! Took O'Chunks' food away as a prank when he wasn't looking and he ripped my arms off as a result! Heh, I replaced 'em instantly."
"…Well, drat. So much for taunting an armless magician." Snatcher said.
"No matter. I'll come back and make you guys miserable again. I might just go ahead and watch the finale from a safe distance while eating popcorn with Seryu. Until then!" He would teleport away.
"Welp! That was fun. Let's head back!" Snatcher said as they were taken back to the Observatory.
Back at the Observatory…
"Sayori? Wake up, dummy."
"…No response?" Chiaki wondered. "Oh! I know! She's probably either taking a nap because she caught a cold. Or maybe she's already awake and she has headphones on while watching videos online or playing video games by herself. Or perhaps she has music playing in her headphones too loudly. Well, it wouldn't hurt to sneak up on her and-" Chiaki let out a loud gasp soon after, her hands over her mouth in horror.
"Whooooa!" All of the Pikmin cried at once as a few Pikmin fainted at the sight of what he was seeing while the Metroids were chirping in confusion.
"Hmhmhmhm~" Hades walked around with a hum.
"SAYORI, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"ALRIGHT! WHO GAVE CHIAKI-CHAN THIS GAME?!" Ibuki yelled. "IBUKI DEMANDS ANSWERS NOW!"
Hades let out a chuckle. "Ain't I a stinker."
"Mmm…" Mario opened his eyes. "Wha…?"
"Hey bud!" Daisy grinned. "Guys! The big guy's awake!"
Mario came to his senses, seeing that Peach was still cradling him. "Peach…?"
"Hey." Peach said gently. "How do you feel?"
"Mmm… lousy…" Mario sat up, rubbing his head. "Feel like I got hit in the head by a few trucks."
"You're welcome!" Bowser chuckled as Peach hugged Mario as he slowly rose up, shaking his head.
"Easy big guy…" Yang said as she and Ruby were right there to catch him just in case.
"Mama mia… what kind of nonsense was I spouting out?" He wondered to himself as he would turn his head to see Luigi.
"You feeling alright, bro?"
"Yeah… I think so." Mario nodded as the two embraced each other.
"Oh, glad to see you're back to normal." Rosalina said with a smile.
"Yeah…" Mario nodded before he pulled away and awkwardly rubbed his arm.
"Mario? Are you feeling alright?" Ruby asked.
"Well… kinda." Mario said. "You see, the thing is… oh… how do I put this…?"
Daisy looked at him in surprise. "Wait a minute, are you saying that the things we heard you say until we fought was… true?" She asked as Mario let out a nod.
"It's… complicated." Mario said.
"You can tell us." Peach told him with concern. "You don't have to hide it."
Mario awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "Can we go somewhere more private?"
"I do know a spot where we can have a private conversation." Rosalina said, as she would snap her fingers as the Gateway dome opened up and by request, Mario went over to the Gateway with only his bro, the princesses, Rosie, Yoshi, RWBY, JNPR and Pit.
"Alright…" Mario spoke up, taking a deep breath as they were on the top of the monument. "Where do I begin-a?"
Meanwhile…
"You didn't know?" Ridley asked in surprise.
"No! I did not see the rose with Phazon all over her body!"
"We saw her at Fleet Glide. Surely, you would have seen her like that." Ridley responded. "I mean, I assumed you knew! I saw it with my eyes but I was more focused on tearing Rosalina down, but I knew that she had some sort of prowess with phazon. I mean, surely you would've seen it. I mean… how couldn't you?"
"Well, excuse me! The phazon was well hidden!"
"Well hidden? She was out in the open! Her arm was radiating with phazon, her eyes were blue and silver… it was right there! Surely, you of all people would know not to have tunnel vision."
Dark Samus sneered at him. "Whatever. We're still going to win this thing no matter what." She said and walked off with a huff.
"This is just sad." Ridley shook his head before smirking. "Not to mention highly amusing."
Apologies for the delay, the Nintendo Direct kinda interrupted the flow and it was a bit difficult to get back into the zone. Then again, it was a fun distraction.
Ibuki: Yup!
Anyway, MARIO STRIKERS AND PORTAL ON THE SWITCH HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE! Oh, and Xenoblade 3, more Mario Kart 8 tracks and a bunch more that i'm blanking on at the moment! ...Oh, but Cody tells me I predicted Portal on the Switch because of the Portal cast showing up in the story and all. Blah... I can't escape it.
Ibuki: *snickers*
But on that note, shoutouts to everyone who helped out with Boss Blitz! It was really fun!
