Samus came out of hyperspace, looking at the planet in front of her. K2L, her home planet. The same planet where everything was taken from her by the Space Pirates. A wave of emotion hit Samus like an intergalactic freight train. Tears swelled in her eyes… flashing back to that day when her life changed forever.
"Oh, what an energetic little one. Are you hurt?"
"Ah… no…"
"Is this your first time meeting a Chozo? There's nothing to fear. We look different… but inside, we have the same 'heart' that you do. So be at ease. I am called Old Bird, but you can call me Grandpa Bird if you'd like."
"I'm Samus Aran, three years old. And sure!"
Samus closed her eyes, already feeling nostalgic over meeting Old Bird for the first time.
"Eh?! You can't fly?!"
"That's right. We have lost our wings long ago. I am sorry."
"Then I guess you're just like me…"
Samus frowned right after, considering that after Gray Voice and Old Bird had left, Ridley arrived not long after.
"That's it, destroy everything! Leave no victim alive!"
"Papa! Mama! Where are you? What's wrong, did something happen?"
"Lord Ridley, we've captured the facility. We've begun transporting the containers."
"Good."
"A-Are you Mr. Ridley? I-I'm Samus… th-three years old. Y-You're not scary… I'm perfectly fine… E-Even if you look different, W-we can still be friends!"
"Mhmm… you're so cute. I'm sorry miss, but… that's impossible! Because… YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!"
"AAAAH!"
"SAMUS, LOOK OUT!"
Samus stiffened, vividly remembering how her mother was brutally killed by Ridley. Her arms shook as she barely could contain herself. Blake would put her hand on her shoulder to comfort her while Chell looked on, remembering how she and her uncle were the only survivors on that planet.
"Samus? SAMUS! SAMUS, WHERE ARE YOU?! No… no no no no no…"
"THOSE GOD FORSAKEN SPACE PIRATES! DO THEY NOT KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF COMPASSION! YOU COME BACK HERE, YOU COWARDS! I'LL THROTTLE YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS UNTIL THEY BLEED FROM YOUR BROKEN NECKS!"
Chell let out a silent sigh, tears swelled in her eyes as emotions swelled within her as well.
"Samus?" A voice snapped Samus out of her thoughts. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine Rosie." Samus responded as she took a deep breath. "K2L… I never thought I'd come back here."
"It's beautiful…" Chiaki said in awe.
"So this is whee our final battle will be." Washington said. "On a deserted planet?"
"You can thank Ridley for killing everyone. Well, mostly everyone." Samus said.
"We're here for you, Samus." Blake told her.
"Boop boop." ROB agreed.
"PIka!" Pikachu smiled.
"Well everyone…" Sarge said as he held his shotgun tightly. "Considering what we're up against, they might be pulling something that would destroy every single one of us… so you know what they say. Today… is a good day to die."
"Permission to speak freely, sir?" Grif spoke up as Sarge turned to him, where Grif held the Meta's Brute Shot. "Fuck that."
BGM: Follow Our Brothers (Halo 3) (Start at 1:51)
"Heh." Sarge pumped his shotgun.
"We got one shot at this. If we don't, then Ridley will take over the galaxy… and I'd rather see this universe flourish and not be under control by the Space Pirates." Samus told them. "We need to give them everything we got."
"We're right behind you!" Peppy said as they would fly into K2L's atmosphere. As soon as they entered, they flew through the clouds as fire wrapped around their ships as they were entering its atmosphere. Samus would soon land her ship on the ground as everyone else docked behind her.
End BGM
Samus walked out, the wave of emotions hitting her again as she took her first steps onto K2L's ground for the first time in years. Samus had her arm cannon at the ready, she scanned the entire area. She looked around, waves of nostalgia hit her pretty hard. She took a deep breath, dismissing the thoughts entering her head.
Destroy the Space Pirate's first. Reminisce later.
However, not everyone was able to get off the ships. Cardin and his mother refused to let Laura leave the Observatory. "It's too dangerous, honey." Nesta said. "I'd rather you stay here where it's safe."
"And besides, your semblance can only do so much. It'll put you in grave danger." Cardin warned.
"So you'd have be alone?" Laura asked.
"Not true. You have Merlin to keep you company." Nesta smiled.
"Yeah, and that robot." Cardin added as Laura would see WALL-E curiously looking at the planet.
"But-"
"No buts, honey." Nesta said firmly as she pulled out a pen and wrote a rune into the air. The rune would then land onto the edges of the Observatory and formed a barrier around them. "There, now you'll be fine."
"Oooh… darn your semblance, mother." Laura sighed as they walked off, leaving her and WALL-E behind. "So… how good are you with cards?" She asked, where WALL-E would look at her with a tilted head.
The heroes walked through the heavy atmosphere of K2L. Creatures flew overhead as some rabbits jumped across. Birds chirped in the air, bugs echoed across the land with their noise pollution. They would walk through, weapons at the ready just in case of an ambush.
They walked into a village, seeing how nature was overtaking the crumbled buildings, but Samus, Chell and Cave, who was hooked onto Chell's hip, all knew one thing. This was their old village. Destroyed, battered, overtaken by nature… but it was their old home. Skeletons all laid waste on the ground. Their friends, their colleagues… all of them ravaged by the Space Pirates. Dried blood was splattered on some walls.
"It's sad…" Emerald quietly said. "To think that this village was overrun by Space Pirates."
"We can rebuild it… right?" Nora wondered.
"I… I don't know." Pyrrha responded as she stepped on something. She would look down to see a stuffed animal. Burnt, yet still recognizable. She would pick it up and see it was a stuffed bunny rabbit. "Poor thing…" She whispered.
"This whole area feels heavy." Ruby quietly said.
"Yeah… I feel sorry for Samus. I never thought she went through something so horrifying." Weiss responded.
Samus stopped walking while looking through the village. She recognized this very spot. It was where she first met Ridley. She would turn her head to the exact spot where her mother was mortally wounded trying to protect her daughter from the space pirate. She would look up toward the sky, looking to where one of the ships exploded. She had a pretty good feeling her father blew it up, sacrificing himself to stop the carnage from happening.
Chell looked at the spot, closing her eyes. She flashbacked to when she witnessed Virgina Aran getting slaughtered by Ridley, and to make matters worse, Ridley had spotted her.
"Ah… a straggler!"
"Ch-Chell!"
Chell clenched her fists, putting her hand on Samus's shoulder, giving her a look that read "We'll end this once and for all." Samus would nod back at her and turned back to the group.
"Let's go." Samus said as they continued to walk through the village until they walked out of it, heading straight into the woods.
"I'm gonna miss that village…" Cave said.
"If only we could find a way to restore it." Peach quietly mumbled as they walked through the forest, ready to take out anything that would try to ambush them, but nothing would attack them. They cut through brush, branches, anything that got in their way until they walked out of the forest, and they would see the mines.
"There they are." Rosalina said, spotting Ridley's ship on the ground.
"The mines. Of course he would choose this spot." Samus said.
"Why did he park in the mines?" Ruby wondered.
"Because this is the planet that is rich in a mineral known as Afloraltite. It was mainly used as the ignition module in all space fairing vessals." Cave spoke up.
"Not to mention it's highly explosive. If an energy blast hit it… there's no way to escape the blast." Samus said. "And yet… somehow, I lived." She turned her head. "Scratch that, we lived."
"There's no doubt in my mind that Ridley's up to something." A voice said as Akira walked forward. "He's there in the minds, with a lot of Afloratite in hand. If I didn't know any better, he might try something awful." He turned around. "That said, we need to be prepared for whatever he and Mother Brain will throw at us." He put on his mask, going into her Phantom Thief attire. "And I say we hit them with everything they got."
Ibuki readied her guitar. "You ready, Chiaki-chan?"
Chiaki smirked, summoning Spartan armor on herself as a green helmet appeared on her head. She was wearing Master Chief's Spartan armor and held the Assault Rifle in her hands. "I'm raring to go." She said, her voice coming out as Master Chief himself.
"Ooooh, voice modification. Niiiiice." Ibuki grinned.
"I'd expected him to be taller." Carolina teased.
"Let's rock." Chiaki said as Samus jumped down the cliff as did the others. They would land on the ground and walked into the mines.
"Had a pleasant trip down memory lane?" A voice asked as they would see Meta Ridley standing on top of the ship.
BGM: Bowser Appears (Super Mario Galaxy)
"I know I did."
"Ridley… where's Mother?" Samus demanded.
"Oh, she's a little preoccupied at the moment." Ridley responded. "I have to say, you've built quite the army during your little space adventure. Heheheh, it's amusing… Dark Samus may be dead but the Phazon lives on. What does she think it'll do now that she's gone? It's going to do absolutely nothing… but hey, if it means you guys aren't going to recolonize your planets, than I'm all for that."
"You sound confident." Yang said.
"Hmhmhmhm. Despite my losses in this grand adventure, I've learned from my mistakes. Dark Samus failed to learn and look where that had got her. Each and every time you would go into a galaxy, I would watch with a keen eye, picking up on details, how you acted and how you fought. Some of you fought aggressively. Some of you fought while hanging back in the sidelines. Some of you were reserved. And some of you have an unorthodox way of fighting."
Ridley would point at Ruby. "Especially you. Your way of fighting when we had first met had intrigued me. A scythe that can also be used as a gun? The mere idea is laughable, and yet, you managed to pull it off. It shouldn't work and yet, it does. That had caught my interest because a mere gardening tool being used as a gun? That was most interesting… I had to get closer to see what would do. Even in your Smash Battles, I was intrigued by it. Your silver eyes are also intriguing, but your scythe is what caught my interest the most."
"So what, you made something like it?"
"I was in the process of making one… yes. However, I scrapped it because of one simple thing. I don't need weapons. My whole body is the weapon! I don't need anything else. While your fighting style intrigues me, I'm afraid that this where your story ends. All of your stories end here right now!"
"Ha!" Zinnia laughed. "It's all of us against you! Why don't you bring out your army… if you have any left!"
"Now why would I do that when I can slaughter you all right here and now?" He let out a smirk. "Your stories end today. Take a nice breath of fresh air… FOR IT WILL BE YOUR LAST!"

BGM: Vs Ridley (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
The Cybernetic Space Pirate - Meta Ridley
Ridley launched up high into the air, flapping his wings as he would breathe massive fireballs at the group, forcing them to scatter as Reimu and Marisa flew up into the air as they would launch danmaku at him but he would fly around to avoid it as Ridley grabbed a hold of Marisa and threw her at Reimu. Reimu would avoid this as she would throw several Yin Yang Orbs at him, but he would avoid these but then he caught one as Reimu flew over to him, but Ridley would swiftly slam the Yin Yang Orb into her, sending her flying back.
Ridley would turn around as Youmu slashed him, but he blocked with his tail as Youmu would continue to slash him as he would counter with his tail, both of them clashing as Myon flew around and transformed, slashing at Ridley but he would avoid it, then he fired a point blank fireball at Myon. Youmu would let out a grunt as Ridley would grab her and then dive bombed into the ground, wrapping himself in fire while avoiding the gunfire as he slammed into the ground, creating a massive explosion that knocked back ATMC, CFVY and the Blood Gulch gang.
"Hiyah!" Ruby slashed Ridley from behind but Ridley would block with his cybernetic wings and turned around, wrapping his tail around Ruby and slammed her into the ground, then unleashed a plasma fireball that sent her flying.
"Mela Meeeell!" Meloetta cried, unleashing Psybeam while Mew transformed into Lucario and used Aura Sphere, but Ridley would dodge the Psybeam and deflected the Aura Sphere, flying ahead and grabbing the two Pokemon as he threw them into the ground. He would then dodge arrows from the Pits, Eirin, Kokoro and Sayo as he flew up in the air and breathed fire, striking the ground and exploding near them as they were knocked away.
Ridley would immediately take notice of those who were healing everyone up as he would fly down, dive bombing next to Peach and swiped her away before breathing Plasma Blasts at the Keyblade Wielders. He would soon grab a hold of Ling and threw her into Mikan. She would duck but then Ridley would fly over and grabbed Mikan by the throat and slammed her into the ground, then he threw her into a rock wall before turning around as Sora would AirStep to him and slashed him, knocking Ridley back.
Sora smirked as he used Zantetsuken, but Ridley would jump up and slammed into him with his talons. He would look up to see Roxas running over and slashing him but he swiftly blocked with his tail and parried his Keyblades off before he launched Roxas away with a Plasma Blast attack, then he flew over to Terra as he swung down, but Ridley would already be behind him as he grabbed Terra and threw him into Aqua and Mickey before he let down another Plasma explosion that sent Kairi, Namine, Golden Deer and Bernadetta away.
Penny and SAPR flew together as they would both flank him as Ridley would take notice of Dante and his friends ready to attack him as well before they all charged at him, but Ridley breathed fire into the ground to create a shockwave that knocked them back, however Dante would slash at Ridley. The latter caught his blade with his hands. "Impressive… but not good enough!" He said as he stabbed Dante in the gut shortly after.
"Rrrgh! …That the best you got?" Dante smirked, but was blasted away point blank by Ridley as he would grab a hold of Penny and SAPR and threw them into Vergil and Nero, then he grabbed a rock and shoved it into Lady's rocket launcher and flew away right as it exploded and sent Trish and Lady down to the ground.
"This guy's picking us off like nothing!" Luigi exclaimed, shooting at Ridley who was busy swiping away at Gloria and Marnie.
"Then we'll have to fight harder!" Bowser said as he jumped at Ridley, swiping at him and clawing him while the gods would fire their weapons at him but Ridley flew into the air as he let out a smirk, pressing a button on his wings as his cybernetic wings opened up as large missiles came launching out.
"Have to hand it to my men, they know how to upgrade 'em!" Ridley smirked as the missiles rained down on everyone… and then he felt a meat hook impale him as Doom Guy and Fox Alistair pulled him down. Ridley smirked as he used his momentum to ram through them, carpet bombing them as well and leaving behind several explosions that knocked everyone around.
Armstrong grabbed a hold of him and held him in place, but Ridley would grab his arms and threw him into Ghira, blasting them with plasma as he would see gravity glyphs as Hat Kid, Grooves, Conductor, Guzma, Weiss, Willow, Kali and Piers would all jump down to attack him but he nimbly jumped back and hit them with a massive fireball that exploded on impact.
He would fly up into the air as he would find himself surrounded by Azure, Teslo and the Nergigante as they would all unleash their attacks on Ridley but he dove to the ground as they would chase after him. He would grab some of the ground as he turned around and threw it at the monsters before breathing fire, where it would connect, then it would explode, engulfing the three as they would crash down while the shockwave was enough to blast away the Phantom Thieves, Strike Team, Zhang, Star Fox/Wolf, most of the Bounty Hunters, the Koopa Troop and STQ while Raven held on.
Ibuki and Hiyoko came in as Ibuki swung her guitar and Hiyoko swung her tessans, but Ridley would grab the both of them and let out a loud screech that made their ears ring, and then let out a point blank shot that sent them both flying. He would then get hit by shotgun bullets as he turned around to see Chiaki shooting at him. Ridley let out a smirk and lunged at her, but she rolled out of the way as she summoned a Gravity Hammer and swung it, delivering a heavy blow to Ridley… if he hadn't caught it as he sweeped his tail to trip up Chiaki as he pulled it away and then delivered a mighty swing that sent Chiaki crashing into a wall.
"Rrrgh!" Chiaki grunted, thankful that her energy shields took most of the blow but it did knock the wind out of her. She pulled out a Spike Grenade and threw it, but he whacked it away with his tail as it exploded nearby. He would approach the staggering Chiaki, but then Ibuki came in and whacked him with her electric guitar as Mario and Daisy came in and fire/Crystal punched him to send him sliding, and then was shot at by EVE and ROB, but Ridley wrapped his wings around himself to reflect them back at the two.
Ridley would then feel a tug as Rosalina and Xena would pull him close with their telekinesis, and then Nyx would activate her trap as he was caught in a rope trap as she would then fire several bomb arrows at him, but Ridley would burst out of the trap as the bomb arrows struck the ground and exploded, breathing fire into the ground and caused an explosion that sent JINXY flying back as Rosalina would fly over and threw a comet at him but Ridley dodged as he swiped at her but she used a force field to block his attacks, then she pushed the force field into him and then threw cosmic fire at him.
"Ridley. The preparations are ready."
"Heh. Good." Ridley smirked as he nimbly dodged punches from Yang, and Charged shots from Samus. He would notice an Area of Effect around him as Thanatos was charging up an attack. Ridley would swiftly fly out of range right as Thanatos swung. "As much as I would love to toy with you all… I've got more important things to do!" He smirked as he flew over back to his ship.
The ship would lift up off the ground, revealing loads of boxes behind the ship. "Wait a minute…" Samus's eyes widened. "That's a large stack of Afloratite!" She exclaimed as something glowed from underneath Ridley's ship.
"Say goodbye!" Ridley smirked as a laser came down and struck the Afloratite. Samus could only watch in horror as it started to light up. Rosalina would swiftly create a forcefield for everyone. Bowser, meanwhile, covered Junior so he would take the full blast just in case the force fields didn't work while Chiaki punched the ground to create a Bubble Shield right as the Afloratite explode.
End BGM
At the Observatory, Laura was playing cards with WALL-E when she noticed something glowing in the corner of her eye. "Hmm?" She wondered as she looked to see a massive mushroom cloud. "Whoa…" She whispered as the shockwave came after as she heard the explosion soon after. She let out a shriek and covered her ears while WALL-E hid inside himself while the shockwave was enough to send the other ships sliding or turned themselves over. In fact, the Great Fox was on its side now.
"Whoa." WALL-E could only say once the noise dissipated.
"What the heck was that…?"
At ground zero, Ridley's ship had made a forcefield to withstand the blast. Ridley flew down to the ground as despite everyone having force fields, the shockwave was enough to knock everyone around and daze the hell out of them. He let out a chuckle as he flew down, landing in front of a dazed Samus, knocking her down instantly.
"Do you now realize who you are messing with! The Space Pirates are not to be trifled with!" He exclaimed as right on cue, more ships appeared in the sky and then all the Space Pirates came down and surrounded them all.
Samus slowly got up, wincing as she glared at Ridley and the Space Pirates. "Despite all you have done, Samus… there's nothing that you can do." Ridley said as he wrapped his tail around her and slammed her into the ground, holding her in place. "You fought a good fight, but in the end, I have won… and I am going to enjoy slaughtering each and every one of your friends, starting with SPBRR. All of you have lost, and the icing on the cake is that even the Galactic Federation wanted you gone. The funny thing is, I could have brought in a bounty hunter who wants you dead. This Bounty Hunter has Lust implanted in her… but it wouldn't have been so much fun if I wasn't the one to have murdered you."
Nearby, Dimentio and Seryu were watching. "My my, this is better than what they put on cable!" Dimentio said, munching on popcorn. "I do thoroughly enjoy a good chaotic blast of fun."
"You have been a worthy adversary, but it's over." Ridley put his claws on Samus's neck, slowly crushing it. "By the time I'm done with all of you, this galaxy is mine to conquer. I hope they remember you Samus. Everyone loves to see a hero fall… or at least that what I've heard!" He smirked.
"RIDLEY!" A voice yelled as Edward tried to attack him but Ridley would wrap his tail around his body.
"Settle down, pipsqueak. I'll get to you later." Ridley said as he would see Chell approaching him. Limping, but she was giving him a glare. "You look familiar… oh, wait, you're probably that witness where I've slaughtered Samus's mother." He said as Chell aimed the Portal Gun at him. "What good will that do? It can only fire portals!"
Samus tried to pry Ridley's death grip on her, but Ridley wouldn't let go. She tried to shoot him but Ridley put his hand on her arm cannon, pinning it down. "If you're so eager to die, then I will be happy to oblige!" He smirked, hearing the sounds of sonic booms nearby but he didn't think anything of it.
Washington slowly rose. "Mmph… crap, what are we gonna do…"
"We have to-… we have to…" Carolina paused as she looked to the side. "…Does anyone hear a motorcycle?"
Ridley would turn his head. "Hmm?" He wondered as a motorcycle suddenly drove off of the cliff and someone leapt off of the motorcycle.
"CHAOS… SPEAR!"
A few spears suddenly impaled RIdley. "ARGH!" He roared as suddenly Shadow the Hedgehog landed on the ground.
"Shadow?" Pit wondered.
"The cavalry has arrived." A voice said as Mewtwo appeared nearby.
"Where did you come from!" Ridley snarled.
"You might want to look up." Shadow responded as Ridley did so, and saw the Halberd flying in along with the Blue Typhoon, the Falcon Flyer and the Egg Carrier 3.0. Instantly, they would see a Warp Star flying off of the Halberd and was joined by an army of Gensokoyans.
"POYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
BGM: Main Theme (Super Smash Bros Brawl)
Kirby came flying down and jumped off, delivering a massive hammer flip but Ridley would jump out of the way as the army of Gensokoyans surrounded them, and then one by one the Smashers would land on the ground. The X-Tornado flew by as Sonic landed right next to Shadow as Knuckles would land nearby.
Then, Sienna landed next to Blake and was joined by Ilia and Mercedes. "Missed us?" Sienna asked with a smile, then Esdeath landed on the ground with the Winter Ops where Winter would help her family up, then Ironwood landed next where then the Champions of Hyrule and Pokemon would surround the area as well.
"Are they coming?" ALttP Zelda asked.
"I'd say they're coming right about-" Twilight Zelda heard a whinny from a horse. "Now." She said as Epona came galloping by and stopped, before Twilight Link and Midna hopped off.
"Sup?" Midna greeted.
"What is this…" Ridley snarled as Yukari appeared from one of her gaps.
"Don't you see Ridley?" Yukari smirked. "You mess with the universe, it'll come knocking back hard." She said, opening up several gaps as everyone came out.
Chiaki's eyes widened, seeing all of her classmates walking out of the gaps. It was enough to make her tear up at the sight of them while Sonia readied her rapier, Akane cracked her knuckles, Peko readied her sword and all the other Ultimates were raring to go.
"Now this is more like it!" Ibuki smirked, grabbing her guitar.
They would then hear the sound of a Hydra as MAJC came flying down as they hopped out as soon as they landed. "Glad we got here in time!" Anthony said.
"You guys owe me some new shinies." Mona said in a low voice, cracking her knuckles.
Bowser slowly came around, only to see a hand reaching out for him as he looked up to see Kyoko reaching for him. "Need some help, big guy?"
"Heh… always saving my shell." Bowser was helped up as Aoi helped him up as well, and was soon joined by Terry and the Blades, with Mythra having Sora's arm wrapped around her neck.
"I think it's safe to say the cavalry did arrive." GLaDOS said.
"Man, this is a lot of people to buff up." Futaba sweatdropped.
Ozpin walked forward, holding his cane forward and was joined by Glynda, Port and Oobleck. "I believe we all know where this is going." Ozpin said.
"I didn't think we needed the help but apparently… we do." Cinder mumbled.
Ridley snarled. "That tears it. SPACE PIRATES… DESTROY THEM ALL!"
"Let's win this thing!" Samus exclaimed.
End BGM
BGM: Rivers in the Desert (Persona 5 Strikers)
"Let's-a go!" Mario said as he jumped up into the air and threw massive fireballs at a few Space Pirates. A few Kihunters would try and dive bomb him but Toon Link and BoTW Link would shoot them down with their arrows. Once Mario landed, he punched the ground and created a fire vortex that sucked in Reos and Scisers and spat them out. One Sciser in particular landed near Shadow who unleashed a Chaos Blast in his wake while Omega would shoot down some Kihunters.
Chiaki would proceed to shoot at some Skrees coming down at her, only for a Cyborg Zebesian to strike her down from behind. "Mmmph!" She grunted as she turned around to see the Cyborg ready to attack her, but then Sonia came in and stabbed the Cyborg with her rapier and then Peko came in and slashed through the head to kill it.
Sonia turned around. "Didn't think you'd finish the fight this way, did you?" Sonia smiled.
Chiaki stared at Sonia, doing her best to not let her emotions get the best of her as she nodded and stood up. "Thanks." She said.
"You're welcome!" Sonia smiled before realizing something as she would compare herself to her own height. "Odd… I thought you'd be taller."
"It's complicated."
"Eh, whatever. Let's go kick some ass!" Sonia said as the three of them would charge ahead, unaware of Ibuki seeing this after cutting down a Space Pirate.
"Oooh, if only they knew."
A few Space Pirates would chase after Pac-Man until they corned him. He would smirk and then took out two power pellets as he ate them up and then became a giant pixelated version of himself. The Space Pirates started to sweat at the sight of this as they quickly bailed as Pac-Man chased after them. One of them dove out of the way for cover… only to meet Mr. Game and Watch as he swung his hammer on him, which was a one.
"…Ha! Was that supposed to hur-"
BONK!
A nine followed shortly after, sending him flying away.
"Beep beep!" Game and Watch said happily as he ran off while a few Kihunters were cut down from Mega Man's Saw Blades.
"Transform!" Shantae exclaimed, transforming into an elephant and then mowed down through the space pirates before turning back to normal and throwing fireballs around while Marth and Caeda would slash through some Zebesians behind her, while nearby, the ground caved in when Chrom and Lucina destroyed a Bruiser Pirate.
"You got Sarged! You got Sarged! Hahaha! I love the smell of dead Space Pirate in the morning!" Sarge laughed, shooting down foes while Grif and Simmons were shooting down Kihunters and Geemers. A few Zoomers tried to attack them but Tucker slashed through them.
Ozpin would find himself surrounded by Cyborg Zebesians, all of them locked on to him. "Gentleman. We can discuss this civilly." He said before having his cane punch the ground and unleashed energy blasts to knock away the Zebesians as a cannonball struck one in particular.
"Hmm, you're right. It does have more oomph." Port said, holding K. Rool's Blunderbuss.
"Told you. …By the way, why the axe?" K. Rool wondered.
"Personal preference!"
"Fair enough!"
Near the crater, a few Zebesians tried to get out of there, especially when a few of them got slaughtered by a few PK Starstorms. However, the ground underneath them rose up from the ground as two rock walls formed and crushed them instantly.
"Oooh, nice one!" Sothis praised. "You sure you don't want to reveal it yet?"
"No." Edelgard said with aura shooting out of the corners of her eyes. "I'll reveal it when I'm good and ready."
"Fair enough!" Sothis nodded as the aura disappeared, then Edelgard went running in and crushed a Geemer with Amyr.
Nearby, Bea and Korrina were busy punching and kicking away an Omega Pirate. It would respond with shooting at them but Marnie got in the way and used Nayru's Love to send it back and then Gloria came in with a Hammer Arm to destroy the Omega Pirate. "You guys alright?" Marnie asked.
"We are now!" Korrina nodded with a grin.
At a different spot, Pyrrha would get knocked down by a Berserker Knight as it would attempt to stab her but then Daruk came rolling in and pushed the Knight back, then he delivered several swings with his sword. "You alright?" Daruk asked.
"Yeah." Pyrrha nodded as she would quickly deliver several swings at the Berserker Knight, then suddenly it would get caught in an orb of water courtesy of Mipha as water formed in Jaune's hands, morphing it into an axe as he jumped inside and slashed through it, then Urbosa unleashed electricity in the water with Nora and the Boltreaver adding on to it as Mipha popped the water bubble and then both Revali and Ren would finish it off by firing arrows from above.
"Piece of cake." Revali said as they heard an explosion nearby courtesy of Snake planting bombs to surprise a few Space Pirates.
Esdeath clapped her hands as several Space Pirates were frozen over and then Sephiroth cut through them like they were nothing, a few of them tried to escape but Cloud cut through them and Tifa shattered a frozen head with her fist.
Nearby, Winter would stab through several Space Pirates with Weiss and Willow, then Whitley would stab them to finish them off… and then they were surrounded by several other Space Pirates, but suddenly a sniper rifle would shoot them all down. "Talk about good aim." Weiss said, unaware that it was Seryu who had shot them from the safety of a tree.
"If anyone's killing those Schnees, it's me." Seryu said. "…That said, this isn't the best time to kill 'em." She would proceed to shoot the Space Pirates, only to see Sheele cutting down a Zebesian after Leone dazed it with one of her punches. She let out a gasp. "Sheele?!"
Yang, currently in her Shin Form, was back to back with Ryu. "So, you unlocked your new power?"
"Yeah, it's pretty great." Yang nodded. "Shin, if you will."
Ryu smirked. "Then let's see this raw dragon power of yours." He said as the two of them would proceed to slaughter the Space Pirates with Ken, Guile and Chun-Li backing them up as Yang would deliver several Dragon Punches as Ryu would throw down a Shoryuken. Yang unleashed a dragon roar that sent the Space Pirates flying back.
Nearby, Kyoko shot at a Berserker Lord. It would proceed to slash at her but she rolled out of the way as Terry and Aoi both delivered strong uppercuts to knock it back before Aoi did a watery version of Power Dunk to knock it back while Terry got into position and lunged at the Berserker Lord. "BUSTER WOLF!" He yelled, knocking it back as Bowser jumped in and Bowser bombed him as Sora would AirStep toward him while also carrying the Blades as the two of them slashed through the Berserker Lord, then Kyoko shot it again to finish it off.
"That's what we're talking about!" Bowser roared in triumph.
Oracle would detect something in her radar after powering up Knuckles and Sakuya. "Huh? Wait, there's a person in the Blue Typhoon!" She said. "…Oh god, she's defenseless!"
"We'll handle things here." Sakuya told her as Futaba nodded, using her Persona to fly her up.
"Thieves, I'm going to the Blue Typhoon!" She told them. "Someone's in trouble up there!"
"We'll handle things down here. Good luck!" Joker said.
Ridley was caught in a Phazon Tornado courtesy of Ruby, then Sonic jumped into it and Homing Attacked him as Ruby would then jump up and slashed him down, but Ridley would counter and grabbed her, but then Pit came flying in and slashed through him to let her go. "I have to say, I like the Phazon look on ya!" Sonic said.
"Thanks." Ruby smiled as RIdley breathed fire at the three but Pit would reflect it back at him.
Nearby, Samus was back to back with Twilight Link. "You're a sight for sore eyes." Samus said.
"Eh, thought I'd come crash the party." He said, throwing his Ball and Chain at a few Kihunters. "What's new with you?"
"Eh, same ol' same ol'." Samus responded, unleashing Micro Missiels at a few Skrees. "Made a new team, if that counts as something new."
"Heh, I sure missed a lot." He chuckled as Midna would pummel a few Zebesians with her hair while riding on Epona. The horse would kick down a Cyborg Zebesian in the face from behind while Twilight Zelda fired a light arrow.
Nearby, Dimitri and Ingrid were back to back with the Golden Deer where Byleth would slash through a couple of Zebesians and Dorothea lit then up. "So let me get this straight. Lysithea taught this Namine girl a few of her tricks-" Dimitri started.
"Uh-huh." Claude nodded.
"And you got Bernadetta out of her shell?"
"Pretty much!" Hilda nodded.
"Sheesh, we should've come with you!" Ingrid said, impaling an Omega Pirate. "Missed all the fun!"
"BURN BABY!" Lea yelled, burning alive a few Space Pirates nearby.
"So, did they fall for it?" Roxas asked, his back to Lea.
"Well, Xion and Demyx had some good reactions. Apparently, I couldn't fool Isa because he suspected I'd do something like this!"
"Ouch…"
"Tell me about it. One of these days, I'm gonna pull one right over him!"
"…So… never."
"Ugh, thanks for the vote of confidence!"
Up above, Umber would be riding on Dawn Wings Necrozma as he would leap off of him and then had it go Ultra Necrozma. He would do a graceful spin, reflecting some artillery fire from Space Pirates as he made a cloud platform and gently rode it over to the Halberd. Some Kihunters would try to sneak up on him, only to get immediately destroyed by Dyna Blade and Zinnia riding on Rayquaza.
"Suck it! Hahaha!" Zinnia laughed while Dyna Blade screeched.
Up on the Blue Typhoon, Oracle hopped off as she would run inside, blasting down anyone with her ray gun as she would find a room. "In here!" She said as she opened up the door and found an old lady resting on the bed.
End BGM
"…Oh my gosh, it's an old lady." She whispered as she heard footsteps behind her as she turned around and saw several Space Pirates closing in. Crap! She thought, as she got in front of her and then started shooting at the Space Pirates. The sound of the ray gun opening fire was enough to awaken the woman.
One Zebesian tanked the ray gun and shot Futaba. "Agh!" She yelped, holding on to her shoulder as the Zebesian aimed at her, chuckling to himself… when suddenly snowflakes surrounded the two. "…Esdeath?" She wondered as she turned her head toward the old woman.
"How dare you harm this sweet girl." She said, blasting the Zebesian with cold ice and shattering him instantly. She also had an icy aura coming out of the corners of her eyes. Futaba blinked, pulling up her binoculars and blinked again, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.
"Whoa…"
"You alright, child?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit sore."
The woman smiled. "It's sure noisy out there. Let's go give them a proper butt whooping." She said, grabbing her cane and walking out.
"Uh, ma'am… are you sure that's a good idea?"
She smiled. "I may be getting on with age, but I've still got some fight left in me." She said and walked out. "You've a name, child?"
"Um… Futaba. Futaba Sakura!" She said as she walked out with her. "What about you?"
"That's such a nice name. My name is Fria." She responded as several Space Pirates approached them. "Hmph! You lousy good for nothings need to learn proper manners!" She said as she unleashed an icy cold blast at them, freezing them on the spot, which was enough to make Futaba jawdrop at this.
"…Holy shit, this is one badass grandma." Futaba said in awe.
Fria lightly smacked her on the head with her cane. "Language!"
Futaba blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry…"
"Now then. Let's continue freezing these degenerates."
"Right!" Futaba nodded.
Meanwhile, inside Ridley's ship...
BGM: Encounter (Metal Gear Solid)
Penny ran through a hallway with SAPR, Nitori, Tails and GLaDOS with her. "It has to be close." Penny said.
"So you saw something in here that could help us turn the tide?" Nitori asked.
"Yeah. We should be close." Penny replied as they would shoot down any Space Pirate that would slow them down, and then they rounded the corner to find the engine room, however SAPR wasn't with them. "Perfect! If we overload this, we should be able to have it explode and turn the tide!"
"Great! So how do we blow it up?" Tails asked.
"Perhaps we can do it with this!" SAPR spoke up as she pushed in a giant laser. "This looks like a world ending laser, so why not use it for this?"
"Hmm, let me see here..." Nitori would look into it. "It's got a computer attached to-... oh my. SAPR, you might be right about this world ending laser."
"I was?"
"Yeah, apparently this laser has enough fire power to destroy a planet with one laser blast. It's first target is none other than Remnant!"
"Can you reroute it?" GLaDOS asked.
"Of course. It's gonna take some time."
"Which is all the time I need to stop you!" A voice said.
Penny turned her head. "That voice... Pride!" She exclaimed as Pride appeared in front of them.
"You think you can just reroute it? I'm not going to let you do that. Ridley's galactic conquest will not be stopped!"
"I can see that this was recently built." Tails said. "This was probably made in the shadows when Ridley was planning on betraying Dark Samus." He guessed.
"This could be a last resort type of deal." Nitori said. "Keep that AI busy while we work on this."
"Easier said that done." Penny said, giving Pride a harsh glare. Pride would smirk and attempt to go inside SAPR this time but GLaDOS would get in the way and took the full blow.
"Hmph! You would sacrifice yourself? That's fine. I'll just take over your body." Pride mocked.
"...Funny, I don't feel any different." GLaDOS said.
"...Huh? Why can't I... is there something in your programming that's not letting me take control of your body?"
"Well, let's see... I managed to get some dumb personality cores off of my old body, especially this dampening sphere that would try to make me an idiot."
"Rrrgh! Come on, take OVER! This shouldn't be this difficult!"
"Hey, AI? Could you hurry it up with the "taking over"? You're starting to bore me on how terrible you're doing."
"It doesn't make sense! I'm able to take over any machine, no matter how sophisticated it is! WHY CAN'T I TAKE OVER?"
"I'm starting to think AI stands for "Artificially Idiotic" regarding you. You wouldn't happen to be related to Wheatley?"
"I don't know who that is! You should be succumbing!"
"Of course, I think the real reason is that I was not originally a robot. I used to be human."
"WHAT?!"
"Yes. Name's Caroline. Nice to meet you. As for you, I have four words for you. You two cover your ears." GLaDOS requested as Penny and SAPR covered their ears.
"What are you-"
"THIS! STATEMENT! IS! FALSE!"
"What does that even mea- AAAAAAAAARGH!" Pride was ejected out of her body, his body staticing. "Wh-what...?! What's happening to me...!"
"It's a paradox. It does wonders on AI!" GLaDOS would then shoot at him, but it would go through him. "Shoot, I was hoping it would make you able to get hurt physically."
"Hah... hah... what have you done to me..." He grunted, his body glitching as he struggled to get up.
"Corrupted you by the looks of it."
"Rrrgh..." Pride glared at him. "Th-This is-isn't... o-over!" He said as he disappeared from view.
"Well, now we know he doesn't handle paradoxes that well." GLaDOS said.
"Neither did this machine." Nitori said. "It caused it to short circuit, but it did make it easier."
"Easy does it... and we're good!" Tails said.
"Fun fact: Apparently this laser uses Afloratite but it only uses a small amount, so it can fire multiple times." Nitori explained.
"So Ridley can destroy any world that opposes him to his heart's content." Penny quietly said before smirking. "Not anymore~!"
"Fire that sucker into the engine!" GLaDOS said as Nitori aimed it and pressed the button.
"Charging initiated. Firing in twenty, nineteen, eighteen-"
"Move! Afloratite is highly explosive!" SAPR exclaimed as they started running and flying out of there.
"Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve-"
The group turned to the right and kept running. "We're not gonna make it! We're too far in!" Tails said.
Penny turned her head, scanning through a room. "Oh yes, we will!" She fired lasers to open a hole in the wall. "In here!"
"Five, four, three, two, one. Firing."
The laser lit up and then fired Afloratite into the engine, and then the engine started to light up, where it started to explode violently, engulfing the entire ship.
End BGM
Just outside, Cardin and Chelsea would attack a few space Pirates, Sienna and Ilia helping them out when they would look up to see Ridley's ship lighting up. "What's going on...?" Cardin wondered, and then the ship exploded. Shockwaves were sent everywhere while an escape pod slammed into the ground near Lillie and Hau, then Penny and the others came out.
"Well, that was fun!" Penny smiled.
Ridley looked on in disbelief where his ship crashed into the ground and unleashed another explosion. "...My ship..." He mumbled, hearing everyone cheering over the destruction of the ship.
"Time to end this." Samus walked over to him. "Hey! Ridley!" She called out as Ridley turned to her with a glare. "You remember what you asked me at the BSL?"
"What are you talking about!"
"You asked me if we were really that different."
Ridley smirked. "Ah yes, I remember. Here to cry about it again?" He would ferociously swipe at Samus, but she would backflip. While in the air, she would fire a Plasma Beam at him, hurting him in the process. "Rrrgh!"
"To answer your question, we're not that different. But whereas you only bring destruction for your own gain, I bring destruction to protect the galaxy. Zebes got destroyed because of Mother Brain's self destruct sequence. SR-388 got destroyed because it was the only way to stop the X-Parasite, and Phaaze was destroyed because I killed the thing that was holding the planet together and it almost conquered the universe. Speaking of SR-388, the only reason I went to exterminate the Metroids was because the Galactic Federation asked me to do it... but oh wait! I remember that most of them work for you! And sure, that doesn't make us different in our methods, but I won't let you hold that over me ever again... oh, and by the way, I love what you did with your ship. It looks far better than how it did either. The fire really brings it together!"
Ridley roared in anger. "THAT'S IT! THIS ENDS NOW!"
BGM: Vs Ridley (Metroid: Other M)
Ridley and Samus lunged at each other, Ridley would quickly swipe at her but Samus would morph into a ball and roll out of the way, but not before carpet bombing him with Gravity Bombs. Samus would spring back up as he was caught in the gravity as she wrapped the Grapple Beam around his neck and slammed him into the ground.
Ridley would grab her by the ankle and pulled her close, breathing fire into her but she would fire a Super Missile into his mouth, making him back off as she got back up, hitting him with a point blank Plasma Beam.
Samus jumped back and hit him with Micro missiles, then struck him with a Fire Missile. Ridley would unleash a Plasma Blast to knock the Bounty Huntress back as Ridley would grab her and would start to drag her across the ground, but two portals were shot out as Samus dropped in and leaving Ridley in surprise while Samus popped out of the other portal.
Samus got back up and would see Chell running to her with Pikachu on her shoulder. Samus would look at her as Chell gave Samus a determined smirk as Samus nodded, then she got back up as Pikachu jumped off as electricity shot out of his cheeks.
Ridley snarled, glaring at the trio as he flew up in the air, dodging Wave Beams and Micromissiles from Samus and Thunderbolts from Pikachu as he would shoot out fireballs. Chell would immediately fire at the spots where the fireballs would hit. The fireballs went through the portal and came out on the other side, striking him from below and knocked him down, then Chell got a running start and kicked him in the face.
Ridley would shake it off as he glared at Samus and swiped at her, but she melee countered and shot him point blank before pelting him with Lightning Missiles, causing him to stagger. "YAAAAAH!" A voice cried as Ed jumped on Ridley, stabbing him repeatedly. "THIS! IS! FOR! MY! PLANET!"
Ridley got him off of him as he tried to pelt him with a plasma fireball, but Chell would fire a portal underneath Ed and brought him to safety near Pikachu, who would jump in and pelted him with a point blank Electro Ball, then Pikachu jumped back as Samus would pull Ridley through the portal with her Grapple Beam and then kicked a Power Bomb into his mouth, forcing his mouth shut as it exploded into his mouth.
Ed would rush in and slashed him with his arm blade at his neck. Ridley would attempt to swipe at him, but Pikachu Volt Tackled into him, and then Samus would get a running start. "It's over!" She said as she Shinesparked into him, sending him into a cliff wall,. Ridley snarled and tried to bite down on her, but Samus grabbed his mouth and then aimed her arm cannon into it, charging up a Plasma Shot and then released it with a nice touch of Diffusion Beam.
Ridley let out a roar before falling to the ground in defeat, with everyone cheering in celebration.
End BGM
"That was for all those years ago, you scaly son of a bitch!" Cave exclaimed.
"Finally!" Ed exclaimed. "The bastard's dead!"
"No, he always finds a way to come back." Samus said as everyond would hear a different type of roar coming from the wreckage of Ridley's ship. "As for her..."
Samus approached the ship, ready to end it as suddenly, Mother Brain emerged from the flames in her mobile form, letting out another roar.
"DID YOU THINK ME DEFEATED!"
BGM: Mother Brain (Super Metroid)
Leader of the Space Pirates - Mother Brain
Samus readied herself. "I've been looking forward to this." She said as Mother Brain would attempt to swipe at her, but Samus rolled out of the way and fired Micromissiles at her.
Mother Brain spat out poison, but Samus Flash Shifted away as she would fire Fire Super Missiles at her, and then hit her with Plasma Beams.
Mother Brain snarled, getting hit by Plasma Beams and Super Missiles. She would swipe at her but Samus backflipped and hit her with Gravity Super Missiles.
With a roar, Mother Brain would unleash a Laser Brain Attack, but Samus Flash Shifted out of the way. "Not this time." She would proceed to pelt her with Super Missiles as Mother Brain would try to hit her again, but Samus Flash Shifted again.
Mother Brain had an idea and then looked toward the ground, unleashing the Laser Brain Attack on the ground. Huh? Samus thought. "What, did you just give u-" Suddenly the laser came from underneath Samus. "AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" She cried.
"You thought I didn't hone my skills? How adorable!"
Samus fell on one knee, wincing. She knew exactly how much this hurt. She staggered to her feet as Mother Brain would do it again, but Samus would Flash Shift out of the way… however this is what Mother Brain hoped for and used it on the exact spot where Samus flash shifted toward. "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Blake looked at Rosalina. "Rosie!"
"Right!" Rosalina nodded as the two ran in, Pikachu and ROB joining her as Blake would shoot Mother Brain with a Plasma Beam as Rosalina unleashed Cosmic Fire at her. Mother Brain backed up and turned toward the group, dodging a Thunderbolt and a laser from ROB. Even Pichu came in and used Thundershock on her.
"Ah. SPBRR. Let's see how much you can take!"
Chell would quickly portal Samus to her and pulled her out while Adam jumped in and fired Plasma shots from his arm cannon. Samus's fellow bounty hunters would check on her. "You alright?" Ghor asked.
"Nnngh… I remember this scenario… the first time this happened to me, Newt sacrificed himself…" Samus panted as she struggled to get up. "I'm not going to let that… happen again!"
Samus would hear chirping as Newt came flying over to her. "Newt… please… I don't want to lose you again."
Newt chirped a few times.
"What…? Honey, that's not online…"
An idea came to Newt's head as he flew off, immediately chirping at his fellow Metroids. The Metroids all chirped and roared in response as they all charged at Mother Brain, latching on to her.
"RAAAARGH! NOT THIS TIME!" Mother Brain roared as she tried to electrocute them off, stunning them but they would get back onto her as she tried to swipe them off but she felt herself drained and fell to the ground. The Metroids turned around and headed over to Samus, latching onto the Bounty Hunter to restore her strength.
End BGM
Suddenly, the ground started to shake violently as Mother Brain started to rise as she let out a loud roar… before suddenly her eye turned green.
"What does a green eye mean?" Chiaki wondered.
"Oh no… Calasmos took over. She's malicious!" Luminary said.
"…What do you mean "malicious"? She's already been malicious to begin with!" Chiaki pointed out.
"Calasmos's influence took over. She's now more powerful than ever." Veronica said.
"…Oookay? I don't follow."
"Remind Ibuki to have you play Dragon Quest XI!"
"There's an eleventh?"
BGM: Awake (RWBY) (Start at 1:24)
"Samus is getting recharged by the Metroids. Let's buy her some time!" Ruby said as she got in her stance. "WE CAN STILL WIN THIS!"
Yang smirked. "LET'S ROCK!" She yelled as Mother Brain let out a roar and fired lasers at them, but Ruby would use her semblance to move around the laser, then decided to grab Mona as she would head over to Mother Brain's head and then deactivated her semblance as Ruby slashed and Mona delivered a strong punch.
Anthony quickly swung his Dust Staff and threw fireballs at Mother Brain with Jen shooting at her and Camrin threw his rope spear into her while Min Min jumped in and threw in Dragon Lasers from her Dragon ARM. She would then grab a hold of Tifa and swung her around to throw her at Mother Brain, where Tifa punched her right in the eyeball before dropping down and then gave a good solid punch to her stomach, then Mario and Luigi came in and hammered Mother Brain in the head where Daisy Crystal Punched her and Peach threw some fireballs at her.
Mother Brain raised her foot up and stomped the ground to unleash a quake. A shockwave soon followed and knocked Tifa, Min Min, the Mario Bros and the princesses back. She would spot Shulk, Mythra, Duck Hunt, Ferdinand and Sylvain running to her. She let out a growl as Shulk and Mythra both received visions. "Mythra!"
"On it!" Mythra nodded as the two dove out of the way as Mother Brain unleashed a Lullab-Eye attack, putting Duck Hunt, Ferdinand and Sylvain to sleep while Mythra quickly charged in with a Photon Edge as Shulk got behind Mother Brain and hit her with a Backslash attack, then Bowser came in and hit her with his shell and Junior fired cannonballs from his Clown Car, and Bullet Bills from General Guy.
Musical notes would surround Mother Brain as Ilia hopped on one to grind her way around. Mercedes, SSSN, Neon Katt, Yang and Captain Falcon joined her as they would strike her with their weapons. Mother Brain would let out a War Cry attack that would knock Yang to the ground but Falcon grabbed her as the two of them smirked and then jumped up in the air.
"Alright, time to unleash this new move!" Yang smirked as she jumped up together, both of their fists catching on fire. "SHINRYU-"
"FALCON-"
"DRAGO BLAZER!"
"PAAAWNCH!"
Yang delivered a powerful punch, a dragon formed from the punch and met with the Falcon Punch, both of them hitting Mother Brain with sheer power as both of them landed on the ground right as Banjo and Kazooie came in and Wonderwing'd her. Mother Brain would drop bombs on the ground shortly after, letting out fiery/icy/electrical explosions that would knock Pyra and Kairi back. Two such bombs was about to explode until Ganondorf and Dedede kicked/hammered them back into Mother Brain, where they exploded onto her face.
Doom Guy handed Ibuki his Chain Gun while he brought out his Rocket Launcher. "Rip…" Doom Guy began.
Ibuki smirked. "And TEAR!" She said as both of them unleashed hell on Mother Brain as CFVY would join the duo. Hiyoko threw several fireballs at her then Akane and Nekomaru dropped down from Rayquaza as they both delivered a strong punch to Mother Brain's face, then was shot at by Washington, Carolina and Caboose.
Cinder and Raven both flew over as Raven tossed an ice sword to Cinder, the latter smirking as the two slashed through Mother Brain as Nora would unleash lightning hell with Urbosa by her side. Wild Zelda threw Remote Bombs at her and then had them explode shortly after while both Young Link and Weiss, both in their Fierce Deity forms would slash through Mother Brain, then she would get shot in the eye by Ironwood and then Gloria dive bombed with Marnie holding on to her as they both came down and kicked her in the head.
Mother Brain let out a screech, her head catching ablaze as she went for a fiery headbutt, but a torrent of water struck her as it was coming from Kamui's dragon form as Camilla came swooping in and slashed Mother Brain with the axe, then Luminary and Princess Jade would come in and slashed her with Veronica using Kaboomle on her. Rosalina would drop a comet on her, Blake fired several Wave Beams and then Chiaki fired a Spartan Laser directly into Mother Brain's eye.
Noir came in and proceeded to shoot at Mother Brain with all the Grenade Launchers. "Die die diiiiiie~!" She said cheerfully.
Yup… I've created a monster. Chiaki thought with a sweatdrop as the Phantom Thieves would attack Mother Brain with everything they had as Crow and Joker would slash through her to finish off their combo.
"Chaos… BLAST!" Shadow yelled, knocking Mother Brain back as Sonic homing attacked her right after, then Ruby made a Phazonic Tornado as she jumped up and was joined by both Tai, Summer and Zhang as the Roses would come down and slashed through Mother Brain while draconic energy coursed through Tai's claws as he Dragon Slashed his way down and Zhang unleashed a Draconic Blast onto her. They woul watch Mother Brain stumble as she tried to stomp her foot, but Little Mac ran in and used a KO Punch to knock her clean on her butt.

Samus slowly rose after the Metroids got off of her. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. "Mother… it's time to go."
BGM: Metroid Dread - Theme of Samus Aran (Game Awards 2021 Orchestra)
Hyper Beam Online!
Samus got into position and charged up her Hyper Beam as Mother Brain got up with a snarl, unleashing her Laser Brain Attack, but Samus fired her Hyper Beam, both of them colliding into each other as it seemed like a stalemate… until the Hyper Beam pushed back the laser as Mother Brain tried to get out of the way, but was held down by Crocomire as the Hyper Beam engulfed Mother Brain.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
The Hyper Beam dissipated as Mother Brain fell to the ground in defeat immediately after.
The war is over.
End BGM
Samus lowered her arm cannon as everyone cheered for the end of the war. "Great, now we gotta deal with the ships."
"What other ships?" Arceus casually asked as they would look up to see the ships crashing to the ground, courtesy of Palkia, Dialga and Giratina. Even the Egg Carrier had shot down a ship.
"Welp… never mind then." Samus chuckled.
"Hahahaha…" Mother Brain weakly laughed. "You might have won… but I have one last trick up my sleeve…"
"And what would that be?"
"Do you recall… how Zebes blew up?"
Samus let out a gasp. "You…"
"Even if you kill me… the countdown has already begun. Face it… if I lose, ALL OF YOU ARE GOING WITH ME!"
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Palutena said as the gods, with the help of the Zeldas, Marnie, Mewtwo, Xena and Arceus, teleported everyone on the ships and moved away from K2L. Palutena would then bring the Observatory, the Great Fox, the X-Wing, the Reds and Blues' Pelican, the Gummi Ships and Bowser's airships to the Blue Typhoon.
Everyone watched as they saw K2L lighting up and exploded. Samus and Chell would watch on as their old home was wiped off the intergalacic map. Tears ran down both of their cheeks while Cave closed his eye.
"Well… that's that, I guess." Rosalina said. "What's the damage?"
"We have several casualties from the Mushroom Kingdom and Remnant, including a few Huntsman. That said, they gave it their all so their deaths will not be in vain." Glynda said.
"Whew, that was fun but maaaan, Ibuki is exhausted." Ibuki said.
"You and me both." Hiyoko agreed.
"Oh!" Ibuki spoke up. "Guys!"
"Hmm? What is it?" Sonia asked.
Ibuki grinned. "You're never gonna believe who's underneath that Master Chief armor!"
"You mean to tell us that ain't John? Then who is it?" Akane asked.
Ibuki turned to Chiaki and nodded at her. Chiaki would nod back and slowly took off her helmet. Her classmates, minus Ibuki, Hiyoko and Mikan all gasped in shock when they saw Chiaki's face.
BGM: Friends in My Heart (Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix)
"Chi-Chiaki?!" Sonia exclaimed in shock.
"No… no freakin' way…" Mahiru could only say.
"Weeeeell, how's that for ultimate luck!" Nagito chuckled with a grin as Chiaki dismissed the armor.
"H-hi…" She said, emotions getting the best of her as tears swelled in her eyes. "I'm… I… I'm home…" She could only say as her classmates all glomped her and hugged her tightly. "Wah!" She yelped.
"Aww." Ibuki smiled.
"Well… I'll be damned." Kyoko said, folding her arms with a smile on her face.
Through all the laughing, crying and hugging, they would all pull away and smile at Chiaki who was nothing more than an emotional wreck. "Chiaki…" A voice trembled as Chiaki would see Hajime in front of her.
"Hi… Hajime." Chiaki quietly sobbed as the two of them embraced, both of them crying into their shoulders.
"Oooh… I love happy reunions!" Sonia rubbed her eyes.

"So… what are we going to do with this big guy?" Mustang asked, staring at Ridley who was locked up in an ice cage courtesy of Esdeath.
"Oh, I'm sure the Hands will think of a fitting punishment for him." Samus chuckled.
"Just one question… how are we going to get everything back to normal? The Phazon's covering like, I dunno… half of the universe? I'm not sure." Yang rubbed her head.
"I may have a solution for this." A voice said as Dr. Toadley approached them. "Do you remember the Star Cure?"
"Yeah, that cured the Blorbs and was put into Link's Master Sword? Isn't it gone now?" Ruby asked.
"Hmhmhmhm. Has Link returned it to me after the Blorb crisis?" He pulled out the Star Cure. "He most certainly did."
"Whoa!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Do I think it is symbolic if the corrupted Rose unleashed it into the galaxy?" Dr. Toadley handed it to Ruby. "I most certainly do."
Ruby stared at the Star Cure in her hands. "With this… we can get rid of the Phazon for good." She said before frowning. "But… it would also mean that I'd no longer have Phazon coursing through my body and honestly, I've grown used to it, so I'm not sure what to do…"
"Allow me to help with that." Yukari walked over and snapped her fingers as Ruby glowed a bit. "There, manipulated some boundaries. Even if the Star Cure gets rid of the Phazon, you can now use your Phazon abilities in your spell book. Powering your friends up and what not. Oh, and your Phazon will stick around when you go into your Zinogre form as a cosmetic."
Ruby smiled. "Okay, I like the sound of that!" She said. "Thanks Yukari!"
"No problem."
Ruby closed her eyes, lifting it up in the air. "Star Cure, hear my plea… and cure the universe of Phazon!"
BGM: Credits (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
The Star Cure lit up like a beacon, dispelling the phazon off of Ruby's body as it would start to fly off. "Let's go home." Ruby smiled as the ships roared to life and went into hyperspace.
As they flew back, the galaxies that were corrupted with Phazon were cured of the great poison. Whomps at Whomp's Fortress were cured of the Phazon. Clockwork Ruins was back to normal as several Octoombas breathed a sigh of relief. Magmaarghs were roaring in happiness at Melty Monster Galaxy.
Boo Moon galaxy was free of its phazon, where Boos and Octoboos happily flew around laughing. Upside Dizzy was freed of its poison as Paragoombas and Swaphoppers happily jumped/flew around.
Chompworks was cured as Chain Chomps would roll around happily while being shipped off to Bowser's Castle, Starshine Beach was shining brightly onto the sand as the Piantas all jumped and cheered with joy. Giant Koopas in Supermassive Galaxy revived from their poison as they happily walked through their planet without a care in the world.
Goombas happily walked through Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, with some Bob-ombs lighting up and exploding in happiness, only to be replaced by new Bob-ombs. Freezy Flake stood proudly in its icy cold non-phazonic state as Goombas happily ice skated. Several Whittles slid down the slide on Tall Trunk in celebration.
Wigglers trudged through the phazon in their corruption in Puzzle Plank, all of them looking sad and miserable… until the Star Cure came by and freed them of their corruption. The Wigglers cheered on in happiness and danced around. The Whittles would also celebrate once in Fluffy Bluff Galaxy as several Piranha Plants danced around in joy in Sky Station Galaxy.
The Star Cure would take a detour and blast away from the domes in the Observatory. Penguins happily swam through the ocean in Sea Slide and Beach Bowl. Podoboos happily jumped out of the lava in Melty Molten. Gearmos cheered in Toy Time and one of them actually danced. Boos would happily haunt the waters in Deep Dark and the haunted mansion in Ghostly Galaxy. Bees buzzed around happily in Honeyhive and Gold Leaf Galaxy.
Penguins happily slid through the ice in Freezeflame as Urchins rolled around in the lava planets at Freezeflame. Piranha Plants and Goombas danced around in Gusty Garden, and then at Good Egg Galaxy, the last of the Phazon were cured as Lumas all around chirped happily as Star Bits rained from the sky.
Once they landed in Remnant, the Star Cure would proceed to cure all of Remnant of the Phazon. It would then fly over to the Smash Mansion and not only cured the Hands who were wallowing in the Phazon, but it went into the different portals, curing Pac-Land, Flat Zone, Gaur Plains, Midgar, the Pokemon world and all the other worlds.
The Star Cure would return to them, but it would not be done curing everyone as it would circle around Lysithea and Edelgard as they would both glow until they stopped, both of them noticing that their hair was back to their natural brunette hair color. Both of them teared up as they would both hug Ruby in happiness where Ruby hugged them back in return.

"It's good to be back." Ruby said.
"Indeed… and now I will take the Star Cur-"
Yoink!
"Huh?!" Dr. Toadley yelped in surprise as they would turn to see a certain goose holding the Star Cure in its beak.
"HONK." The Goose would run off.
"Hey… HEY! You get back here!" Toadley yelled as he chased after the goose.
"Where'd that goose come from?" Chiaki wondered.
"Oh, that reminds Ibuki. You gotta play Untitled Goose Game."
Chiaki raised an eyebrow. "Untilted Goo-… that's what they went with?" She let out a giggle. "Cute."
"Sooooo…" Ruby spoke up. "Who's ready for a vacation?"
Ibuki: Huzzah! The war is over!
Yup, now we just got the epilogue to do and then it's officially over. Major shout outs to everyone on Discord who contributed to this massive story! Because of this writing, not counting the Gaidens, this is officially the longest RWBY story, beating out Thousand Year Door as that had 28 chapters and this will finish up with 35 chapters and with a grand total of 300,000 plus words.
Ibuki: Should we tell them the other thing~?
Oh right. Remember that Christmas Gaiden? IT'S CANON! I've added a few things to the chapter, you'll find the updates in bold (Not counting Yagami and Xena's dialogue) so... surpriiiiiise~!
Ibuki: Yup! Oh, and there's a poll on Nan-chan's page for you to check out!
