BGM: Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
"Well, the good news is… everything's back to normal." Palutena said, watching the townsfolk repairing Toad Town.
"Yes." Byleth said before sighing in exasperation. "Of course, a lot of people are gonna have nightmares over this, considering the damage the Phazon had done."
Palutena smiled. "Not to worry, Byleth. I'll lighten the load for you."
Byleth looked at her in surprise. "Wait, you?"
"Mhm! I happen to be a great therapist myself. Why, a day before this whole crazy event happened, I was holding a therapy session with a few Centurions. Heck, sometimes I hold sessions for humans in my realm. Sometimes I have a one on one with Gaol. She's still pretty messed up even after we knocked her out of Medusa's control."
"So you're saying-"
"You don't have to push yourself too hard." Palutena smiled, patting on the shoulder. "I'll lighten the load for you. It'll make things easier."
Byleth stared at her before smiling. "Thank you." She said. "But, are you sure you can handle it?"
"Oh please, if a human like you can do it, a goddess can do better." Palutena playfully winked at her.
"Mmm, I suppose you're right."
"By the way, you ever thought of opening up a building that holds therapy sessions? You could have your own office instead of your own bedroom."
Byleth rubbed her chin in thought. "That… honestly never occurred to me. Mmm, I'll think about it."
At the Future Foundation…
Kyoko had her arms folded. "From one threat to the next… now we have to worry about Junko again."
"Chiaki's story did check out." Aoi said. "The universe revived her and revived Junko, yet Chiaki dumped her in the river Lethe, which in turn caused her to forget about despair and have her feel remorse."
"That may be true, yet I can't get past this nagging feeling that she's going to try and do another tragedy." Kyoko said. "After all, we lost a good majority of our fellow ultimates."
Aoi sighed. "Yeah, I know… and honestly, I don't want that happening either. Makoto, do you even know what to do here?"
"Well… I don't think she'd try to do that again. If she's feeling remorseful, then there's nothing to worry about. Plus, on our way back home, Chiaki mentioned she felt Junko is her responsibility to look after, just in case if she tried anything funny." Makoto explained.
"Poor girl doesn't need that weight on her shoulders." Aoi said. "I mean, yeah, Junko is probably sane now… but…" She folded her arms. "Mmph, it's not fair to Chiaki."
"Someone needs to help her out." Kyoko said. "Mako-"
"You don't have to say it. I'm already on the case." He grinned. "Besides, the three of us will check it out."
"Three of us?" Kyoko raised an eyebrow. "There's Chiaki, there's you-"
"Oh! Right, forgot to mention something." Aoi spoke up. "Before we had to evacuate, Makoto and I were working on a project. We had the data and we were going to upload him, but of course, the Phazon had to get a bit lively. Of course, it didn't help that you had Makoto do that Captain Syrup case and clear up MAJC's name and then after that, you two went on a date."
Both Kyoko and Makoto blushed. "We didn't go on a date. We just went to the ice cream parlor and hung out." Makoto said.
"Yeah, not to mention… our relationship is platonic." Kyoko said.
"Uh-huh." Aoi narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Veeeeery specific, you two… let me guess, you two bought ice cream for yourselves."
"No, Makoto paid for both of the- I mean, of course we did!"
"Uh-huh…" Aoi smirked. "Aaaanywhoooo, we finished the upload. Come on in, Chihiro!"
"Chi-Chihiro?!" Kyoko exclaimed in surprise as someone walked in. "…Oh!"
"Yeah, we placed Alter Ego inside of an android and fixed him right up." Aoi smiled. "Now he's back with us in the physical realm!"
"I have to say-" Chihiro spoke up. "It feels weird to walk around again…"
Meanwhile, at the Smash Mansion…
"Whew, it feels good to get that junk off of me." Crazy Hand said.
"Indeed." Master Hand agreed. "Now, this would be where we would punish Dark Samus but she's no longer here. So therefore, her death is the fitting punishment and she is no longer on the roster." He said as he would turn his attention to the caged Ridley. "Now… as for you…"
"Mind if I say a few words before you punish him?" A voice asked as Hiyoko walked forward. "This has been a loooong time coming." She smirked.
"The floor is yours!" Master Hand said as he backed away.
Hiyoko stared at the caged Ridley. "...Wow. I mean... wow. You are pathetic. Like I'm not even surprised you're before us defeated, I knew you were going to choke. But at this stage of the game when victory was within grasp…" Hiyoko cracked a smirk, hiding it behind one of her tessans in hand. "Do you realize what you have just done? This is quite possibly the greatest failure in the history of villainy. A legion of brainwashed enemies, destroying worlds like a scorched Earth strategy, infecting anyone with deadly poison, and a track record of power!" Hiyoko tried to stifle some laughter, but couldn't. "You're a pioneer, Ridley. You're the first villain I've met who had victory in reach but pissed it away several fucking times!" She then cracked up laughing. "This is some of the best comedy out there! Maybe I can find that talent and threat you kept teasing us about if I squint real hard because I sure as shit can't see it otherwise. But wait, it gets better. You and Mother Brain could've had us all killed with that self destruct sequence! And yet botched it by not having it be remote and instant, but instead on a timer like most movies they make nowadays. I have no idea why you're still alive. You've died like…how many times now? And the only reason you're still kicking these days I bet is because some people want their same ramen bowl instead of trying something new in fear of being disappointed." Putting her tessan back in her kimono sleeve, she folded her arms. "I wasn't expecting this war to be something of a cakewalk but holy fucking shit, did you even TRY to adjust your tactics? You had one period of glory. Congrats, you had your time of the month like me and most women out there. Perhaps now you can learn some basic responsibilities like cleaning up the diarrhea that you spewed all over the universe."
"Hmph! For your information, girl… the Phazon is all cleaned up thanks to that stupid rose girl with the Star Cure."
"Yeah, because you don't know how to clean up after yourself!" Hiyoko shot back. "You could've cleaned that all up after Dark Samus died but nooooo, you just had to leave it there and taunt Samus by taking the fight to K2L! And look what happened there. You're done, Ridley. Your Space Pirates are dead and you're the only one left. The only thing I have to say is… you're nothing. I've seen a mere BABY more threatening than you. Hope you enjoy retirement as the villain because you're clocked out!" Hiyoko walked off with a pleased smirk on her face.
"Damn. Talk about a mic drop!" Crazy Hand exclaimed as he would then summon a Walky and dropped it on the ground.
"…Did you just summon a Walky?"
"Regular microphones are boring."
"Fair… I suppose." Master Hand chuckled. "Now… kicking you off the roster isn't good enough." He said to Ridley. "No, it has to be something more than that… oh, I know." He chuckled darkly. "I know the perfect punishment for you."
A few minutes later…
Samus emerged out of the indoor pool, letting the water drip down her face and her chest. "Aaah… I needed this…" She said as she climbed out.
"A towel for you… mistress?" A voice asked as Samus turned to see Ridley handing her a towel… while wearing a maid outfit.
"Yes, that would be nice." Samus smiled in amusement as she dried herself off.
"This is humiliating."
"This is perfect for you. After all the shit you did with me, I get to return the favor." Samus smirked.
"I'd rather be dead."
"Now where's the fun in that? Oh, fetch me a drink… I'm feeling a bit thirsty." She turned to Chell and her fellow bounty hunters. "How about you guys?"
"I'm down." Gandrayda said.
"I could go for a drink!" Ghor said.
"Sure." Rundas nodded while Chell gave her the thumbs up.
"Hard lemonade. Make it pink."
"You want me to spike your lemonade…"
"Yes. Make it quick." Samus smirked.
Ridley turned around grumbling to himself. "I'd spike your lemonade with poison but they got rid of all that stuff for me to use…" He mumbled.
Samus smirked. "Out of the roster and my personal maid. It can't get much better than that."

With the Hands…
"So, two free slots are available." Crazy Hand said. "Plus a lot more if we so desire."
"Yes… but let's focus on who will be replacing Ridley and Dark Samus."
"Hmm… any ideas?"
Master Hand chuckled. "Well, why not have some Assist Trophies be Smashers? I already sent out the invitations."
"Oh! Who did you send them to?"
"The first invitation was sent to Lyndis."
"Lyndis? …Ooooh, Lyn!"
"Exactly."
"Who's the second one? Is it Midna?"
"Nope."
"The Squid Sisters?"
"No."
"Elec Man!"
"Nope."
"Magnus."
"Good pick but no."
"Krystal!"
"No."
"Guile!"
"Nope."
"Alucard?"
"Try again."
"Tiki."
"She's rather happy being an Assist Trophy."
"Good point. Oh! Spring Man?" Master Hand said nothing. "Rodin? Yuri Kozukata? Phosphora? Dr. Wily? Hammer Bro? Skull Kid? Oh wait! Shadow! …Knuckles."
"All good guesses."
"Aaaaah, I got ya. It's the Rathalos!"
The doors suddenly slammed open. "WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GUESS WHO'S GOT AN INVITATION! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Crazy Hand turned toward Waluigi before turning to Master Hand. "…You invited… Waluigi."
"Yes. This time I secretly sent it out considering the last time you went behind my back to give it to the Phantom Thieves."
"You went behind my back… just to give one to Waluigi."
"Yes."
"Brother…" Crazy Hand started to sniffle. "I am so proud of you! You finally stooped to my level!"
"I wouldn't say stoop to your level, but-"
"C'mere you!" Crazy Hand would give him a hug before giving him a noogie… if you can call it a noogie. "Ooooh, I'm so proud of you!"
"Ow ow ow ow ow! Watch the knuckles!"
"Heheheh…" Crazy Hand pulled away. "So! Any other additions to the roster?"
"Well…" Master Hand turned to Ibuki showing Doom Guy around the Smash Mansion. "I have a pretty good feeling he'll do."
"Ooooh, he looks pretty ferocious. I like him!" Crazy Hand said.
"Oh hi Ibuki!" A voice said as Isabelle walked over.
"Hey Isabelle-chan! What's up!" Ibuki waved.
"Oh, I'm doing well!" She chirped and then spotted Doom Guy. "Oh wooooow, who's your friend?"
"Doom Guy-chan."
Isabelle gasped. "This is the one who you were talking about?"
"Yup yup~!"
Isabelle walked over to him, looking up at Doom Guy and happily smiled at him. "You look so big and strong… not to mention tense! Perhaps some tea will help you relax~!" She said, gently taking Doom Guy's hand.
Doom Guy said nothing, instead he knelt down and gently patted Isabelle on the head. "Aww, he likes me!" Isabelle smiled and then took him away.
Ibuki grinned. "Those two will get along great~!"
The Hands turned to each other. "Okay, anyone else?" Master Hand asked.
"I saw a hat wearing kid wandering around recently. She looked pretty sassy. Think her name was Hat Kid."
"Hat Kid… yes, she'll be perfect in the roster. I've heard about the girl who thinks with portals and is Samus's childhood friend."
"Chell? Hahahaha, her portals are gonna be chaotic, I love it! Good pick!" Crazy Hand exclaimed as Master Hand conjured up four invitations. "Brother, you conjured up four."
"Because I know the last one. She hangs out here all the time, so why not?" Master Hand floated over to him. "Hey, Ibuki."
"Hmm?" Ibuki turned her head as Master Hand gave her the invitation. "Oh!"
"Welcome to Sma-"
"Time out!" Ibuki spoke up. "As flattered as Ibuki is, she believes someone else deserves this. Besides, Ibuki thinks fighting as an Assist Trophy will be a lot more fun giving her friends a boost in power~!"
"Oh? Who do you have in mind?" Master Hand curiously asked.
Ibuki smiled. "Oh… she was thinking of-"

Meanwhile, at Bowser's Castle…
"Alright, I've given it some thought!" Bowser said. "We have a new addition to the Koopa Troop! Give a warm introduction to our newest recruit!"
The spotlight shined down on Crocomire. "CROCOMIRE!"
"ALL HAIL THE KOOPA TROOP!" The Koopa Troop cheered as Crocomire rubbed the back of his head and let out a roar of gratitude.
"I didn't think he'd be on board so quickly." General Guy said.
"Heh, apparently His Burliness liked the idea." Kamek chuckled.
"Speaking of the Koopa Troop… where's Marnie?" General Guy asked.
"Oh, she had to do something real quick. She meant to do it on the way back but it slipped her mind when the Phazon was destroyed." Kamek responded.
At Boulder Bowl Galaxy…
BGM: Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts II) (Start at 0:25)
Marnie planted some flowers in the mud on the Boulder Bowl planet. Joining her was Neo, Gloria, Hop, Bede, Hau, Lillie, Sonia, Nessa, Bea, Korrina and even Milo joined her. "There, that should do it."
"You think this'll be enough?" Nessa asked as her Drewnaw used Hydro Pump on the ground.
"I think it will." Milo said, looking off in the distance to see a family of Rollodillo wandering around, where they would see a few babies rolling around.
"It's the least I can do…" Marnie responded, a tear rolling down her cheek as Gloria would gently hug her. Marnie would hug her back.
"Mmm, I dunno… I feel like just a small patch of flowers isn't enough." Viridi spoke up.
"She's right. The whole planet needs a little sprucing up." Korrina said.
"Heh, this won't take long at all." Milo grinned.
"Not to worry, I got it covered." Viridi said as a heavenly light surrounded the planet and was covered in flowers. "There. I'll just make sure it rains often in this planet. Make 'em grow… make it feel special!"
Marnie smiled. "Yeah… I like that."
Sonia put her hand on Marnie's shoulder. "I think they'll love it." She said as a baby Rollodillo came rolling over and gently tapped Marnie on the ankle. Marnie looked down, remembering what happened to the adult Rollodillo thanks to Dark Samus. Tears swelled in her eyes as she knelt down and hugged it. "I'm so sorry, little guy…" She quirtly sobbed as the Rollodillo let out a tiny little noise and nuzzled against her neck.

Back on Remnant, with Seryu…
"Ahahahaha… we might have lost, but I've had a few small victories, so it counts." Dimentio chuckled.
"I guess…" Seryu mumbled.
"Cheer up, I'm sure we'll get our revenge soon enough. We were just a bit ill prepared what with the whole army of heroes at our disposal." He chuckled. "It was fun to watch the chaos unfolded on K2L. Ahahaha…"
"Right."
"Anywho, I'll go check up on His Undead Lordship. Ta ta~!" Dimentio disappeared.
"I guess I'll just go back to Adam…" Seryu mumbled as she walked toward the woods.
"Seryu?"
Seryu froze as she slowly turned to see Sheele behind her. "Sheele…"
"I thought I recognized the sniper fire back on K2L." Sheele said. "It was you."
"…I wanted to kill the Schnees, but I felt it wasn't necessary to kill them there." Seryu said, turning her back to Sheele. "I don't know why you're here, but please… it's the best for both of us if we-"
"Seryu, please… come back." Sheele pleaded. "We can get you the proper treatment for your brain damage. We could-"
"No. Atlas nor the council would want me there. Not after the massacre I've created. You've heard it yourself. I'm nothing more than some monster."
"No, you're not. Jacques had this false narrative against you after you… had that episode. Everyone believed him… except for me and the Winter Ops. Ironwood and the Ace Ops didn't believe him either."
"You weren't there for me… I was tortured by that asshole…"
"I tried! But the doctors wouldn't let me come near you… and then when it burned down, I find out that Jacques had everyone keep their mouths shut and told them not to let us near you otherwise Jacques would have their heads! He has no power now… he's in prison!"
"…If he's in prison, that's not good enough. He needs to pay for what he's done. He needs to burn."
"Seryu…" Sheele walked over to her. "We can help you. Please… just come back to us. Come back to me." She grabbed her wrist. "We can-"
Seryu stiffened. A human is touching you. Kill them! Kill this filthy human! A voice screamed in her head as Seryu quickly pulled out a gun, pulled away and aimed it directly at Sheele, the latter gasping as she saw the crazy look in her eyes as the gun was pointed directly at her face.
"Seryu… no…" Sheele said, tears swelling in her eyes.
BGM: Luma (Super Mario Galaxy)
Seryu shook her head, snapping out of it as she realized what she was about to do. She started to tremble. "I've been broken for far too long…" Her voice trembled as she pulled her gun down and turned around. "I don't think anything can fix me… I'm sorry!" She yelled as she ran into the woods as Sheele fell to her knees.
"Holy crap…" A voice said as Leone approached her from behind as did the rest of the Winter Ops. "There's a side I've never seen from her before." She said.
"It's all my fault… if I was more assertive, I would've busted Seryu out of there a long time ago…" Sheele sobbed as Kurome would quickly hug her as would the rest of them while Esdeath and Ironwood watched on.
"Please tell me there has to be something we can do." Esdeath said.
Ironwood closed his eyes. "I wish there was." He mumbled, flashing back to a conversation with Jacques.
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
"I don't know what's the big deal. The Faunus deserves to be in there."
"Jacques, I SWEAR… of all the things you could do, this has to be one of the worst possible things you could've done! I thought there was SOME hope for you after you ousted those grave robbers but this? This is low, even for you! Going behind my back just like that?!"
"Hmph, those two seats aren't all that powerful, are they? Especially that one seat that your daughter holds."
Ironwood let out a growl, pulling out his gun and aiming it Jacques. "I swear, one of these days-"
"You'll do what?" Jacques calmly asked. "If you kill me, word will get out how you killed me in cold blood, and considering you being headmaster of Atlas Academy, that wouldn't be good for PR, would it? You wouldn't want to be labeled a dictator, would you?"
"How about if I arrest you instead?"
"Ah ah ah! You can't do that. I made it so that you can't even touch me… and even if I did somehow end up in prison, only I still hold the power to do what I want with that dog." Jacques smirked. "So go ahead, punch me, shoot me, break my ribs… you are powerless against this."
"DAMMIT JACQUES!"
Ironwood let out a sigh. "Unfortunately, despite his position in prison, we can't do anything. He somehow still has the power, despite his arrest."
"You gotta be shitting me…" Esdeath growled. "How can one man hold power while in prison? How much did he pay off Camilla, Sleet and the others?"
"I'm not sure… but I hope it doesn't get worse."

Meanwhile, with Chiaki and Hajime…
"So that's how it happened." Hajime said as he walked through the snowy park. "You went through Hades and met up with Zagreus."
"Yeah, and I've got a lot of catching up to do. I had a headstart at the Observatory." Chiaki giggled before sighing. "That said…" She looked up at the sky. "I still feel a massive weight on my shoulders over Junko… I mean, I did get her out of that despair juice, but-"
"I'll share the burden with you."
Chiaki looked at him in surprise. "Huh?!"
"You shouldn't do it alone. I mean, granted, it's Junko but I'm sure we can keep an eye on her so she doesn't try anything crazy. You stopped a tyrant from coming back from the dead and she came out a shell of her former self. Usually that's a bad thing but in this scenario, it's a good thing… I guess?"
"I suppose."
Hajime smiled, ruffling her hair. "Don't sweat it, Chiaki. You and I will go check up on her together.
"Oh… Hajime…" Chiaki smiled, grasping his hands. "Thank you…"
"You're welcome." He said as the two looked into each others eyes, both of them blushing.
"Um… am I interrupting?" A voice spoke up as the two turned to see Mikan.
"Oh no, not at all. What's up?" Chiaki asked.
"I kinda wanted to speak to you… privately."
"Oh! Okay." Chiaki nodded as she turned to Hajime. "Um…"
"Oh! Uh… I'll just be over here admiring these Frosmoth over here." He said as he hopped into the snow banks and headed over to them.
"So, what did you want to say?"
"Listen… um… I've been meaning to say this over back in space but I never got around to it." Mikan awkwardly rubbed her shoulder. "You… remember what happened that led to your death?"
"How could I forget?" Chiaki shuddered. "That's a maze I'd rather not do again."
"So um… the thing is… I… was the cause of that."
Chiaki looked at her in surprise. "Huh?! What do you-"
"Let me explain… It was back when I wasn't so… you know, head strong and brave compared to what I was back then. Junko saw an opportunity since I was so submissive back then, so she did something that caused me to… well-"
"View her as your beloved?"
"Yeah… she brainwashed me. I… I did things I wasn't proud of, and in turn, I pushed you into a revolving wall and… and… you know what happened next…"
"Miss Yukizome…?!"
"Of course, you were the obvious choice."
Chiaki said nothing, a shadow cast over her eyes. Mikan knew exactly what that meant. "I know… I was the reason why you were murdered. It's why I hate what I done in the past… if I wasn't so submissive, I would have been more resistant to Junko. I wasn't myself, I lost control of my body… I lost control of me. Seeing you come back to us after all this time… I flashbacked to that time when I betrayed you. I didn't show it to anyone… I kept it to myself but I was grieving immensely. It felt like I was reliving that moment over and over again. Even if Junko wasn't there… it felt like she was. I was despairing…"
Tears swelled in Mikan's eyes. "I had to constantly remind myself that things were different, but… no matter what I did, it just kept replaying in my mind over and over again. You probably don't have it in you to forgive me… and I wouldn't blame you. Just… just know that I'm sorry that I'm the one who let you die… the one that betray-"
"I forgive you."
BGM: Namine (Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories)
Mikan's eyes widened, taken aback as what she just said. "…What…?"
The shadows disappeared from Chiaki's eyes, replaced with a glimmer of forgiveness with a hint of tears in her eyes. She also smiled. "I forgive you, Mikan. You said it yourself, didn't you? You weren't in full control… Junko was controlling you. If our roles were reversed, I'd be the one apologizing that I was responsible to killing you."
"Ch-Chi-Chiaki-san…"
"C'mere…" Chiaki opened her arms up as Mikan immediately hugged her, with Chiaki returning the hug and rubbed her back, Mikan sobbing into her shoulders as some tears ran down Chiaki's cheeks.
Hajime, having actually overheard this conversation, looked on with a smile on his face. "Well, how about that."
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!"
End BGM
"Hmm?" Chiaki turned her head to see Ibuki running over to them. "Ibuki?"
"Chiaki-chan! Ibuki has something for you~!" She said as she handed Chiaki a letter.
"Huh?" Chiaki looked at it curiosly. "What's with the Smash emblem?" She wondered as she opened it up and looked into it. "Dear Chiaki Nanami, you are hereby invited to join the roster… of the SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT?!"
"Surpriiiiiise~! They wanted Ibuki to join the roster since she tends to visit there often but she thought it would be best if the Ultimate Gamer herself was the Smasher instead. Don't worry, Ibuki's the Assist Trophy!" She winked at her. "Winking~!"
"Oh… oh my… I… I think I'm gonna…" She fell backwards, fainting on the soft snow.
"Whoop, hang on!" Hajime picked the unconscious Ultimate up.
"Somehow, Ibuki was expecting she'd be fangirling." Ibuki said. "…Think she fangirled a little too much."
"How exciting!" Mikan smiled.
Meanwhile, with Futaba…
"Aaaand done." Futaba backed away slowly.
"You sure this was a good idea?" Souda asked.
"Of course!" Futaba smiled. "…By the way, I'm surprised it took you this long to join us eggheads."
"I'm surprised I didn't hear about it until just now." Souda chuckled as a woman opened her eyes. She had a red blouse on and had jeans. She also had some stylish high heels on as her eyes were a golden yellow color as her hair was a brunette color.
"Where… am I?" She wondered as she looked over and saw GLaDOS's body lying on the counter. "Why am I looking at my body?"
Man, it sounds weird hearing her voice coming out of that body. Futaba thought as she pulled up a mirror. "Here ya go, GLaDOS!"
"What the…?!" GLaDOS said in surprise. "Why am I back in my old human body?!"
"Well, you're more of an android now… who knows what happened with your old body but it's not really much a thing anymore considering Aperture blew up." Futaba rubbed her head. "Oh, by the way, I finally installed what I planned to install a long time ago from the Observatory. I STILL don't get how Ibuki managed to have Chiaki play Splatoon and Overwatch online. I should've asked her to do her "Ibuki magic" on my computer." She mumbled to herself.
"Heh… Ibuki magic…" Souda let out a chuckle.
"And that would be…?" GLaDOS wondered as suddenly her eyes turned blue as a projection came out, revealing a blue twin tailed girl.
"Say hello to Hatsune Miku." Futaba smiled.
"Konichiwa~! Nice to meet you!"
"Whoa… so that's what this Vocaloid is about." Penny said.
"She's cute." SAPR giggled.
"And don't worry, I filled her in on the whole situation." Futaba explained. "Well, more like I filled them in." She added as three more projections showed up. "Say hello to Len Kagamine, Rin Kagamine and Luka Megurine!"
"…Yeah, it stinks that we didn't help out in space." Len sighed.
"Aw, cheer up, bro! We'll get our chance another day." Rin smiled.
"It is an honor to make your acquaintance." Luka bowed.
"…What. So you mean to tell me these AI are going to be haunting me." GLaDOS said.
"Pretty much." Futaba nodded. "Though I wouldn't say haunted, more like… assisting you? Plus if you feel like singing, they can jump in and take over your body."
"Bodily take over?!" GLaDOS said in shock. "Do I look like that humanoid Xena to you!"
"Hey, she has one person in her. You have four… plus it's AI so it doesn't count."
GLaDOS sweatdropped. "What do you mean it doesn't!" She said as the Vocaloids disappeared, going into her head.
"Wow, it's roomy in here!" Miku said.
"I like it!" Rin said.
"So do I." Luka agreed.
"Ditto." Len nodded.
"You think that's bad? They turned me from a Personality Core to a Lemonade Stand!" Cave spoke up as he had white all over his new body. His body was box shaped like WALL-E, his arms were detached and oval shaped like EVE. He was hovering off the ground and his head was oval shaped and had EVE's visor. "Seriously, I appreciate the upgrade, but did they have to base me off of those two?" He asked, pointing to WALL-E and EVE who were curiously looking around.
"What? They looked cute. Thought that would be perfect." Susie spoke up.
"I get that… but why did you put a lemonade machine inside of me!"
"In case we got thirsty." Nitori spoke up. "You don't just have lemonade in you. You also have milkshakes!"
"I BEG YOUR PARDON?!"
"Yup!" Penny giggled.
Pietro chuckled. "Pretty ingenius, no?"
"Mmmph… I guess…" Cave mumbled. "Alright, what kind of drinks do you want?"
Later in the late afternoon, in the courtyard of Peach's Castle…
"This… is a very long table." Sarge said. "What's the occasion?"
"Oh, I thought we would make a celebratory feast over the victory over the Phazon War." Peach smiled.
"You had me at feast!" Grif said.
"Yo yo!"
"Ooooh yuuuummy…" Akame drooled.
"Dig in everyone~! And enjoy the entertainment!" Peach said, pointing to a makeshift stage featuring Sea5ons.
"Let's get this party start-"
"WAIT!" Tai yelled, catching Whitley off guard.
"Huh?"
"There's something I need to do first." Tai said as he walked up the stage. "Mind if I take this?"
"Oh, sure." Chelsea nodded as he took the microphone.
"Alright, I have an annoucement I want to make." He said. "As you may have heard, I've actually gotten back into the dating scene and I'm happy to announce that my girl is sitting here at this feast right this very moment."
Summer's eyes widened. That narrows it down! She thought as she looked around. Is it Zinnia? Nessa? Is he dating Willow… he's gotta be dating Willow!
Tai smiled. "Would you care to join me up on this stage?" He asked as his date would nod and walked up to the stage. Ruby and Yang would smile at this, Qrow would whistle, Raven had her arms folded in approval.
Summer, however, was in absolute shock. "HUH?!" She yelled in surprise.
"Come on, it was obvious, woman!" Zinnia said.
"Yeah mom, it was obvious!" Ruby agreed with Yang snickering.
"Even I knew about that!" Samus said.
"Woo! You go, girl!" Ibuki cheered as the one who stepped on the stage…
…Was none other than the queen of the cosmos herself.
BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Hi…" Rosalina waved to the crowd with a blush.
"We actually crossed paths one time at the supermarket and we just chatted for a while before I asked her out to go bowling." Tai smiled. "Then we spent the night looking at the stars at her house, laughing and enjoying each other's company… and well, I asked her out on a second date after that." He chuckled. "Of course, that kinda got postponed due to the Phazon crap. Although, if you think about it… us hanging out at the Observatory could count as a second date. Though, not really…" He chuckled.
"…How many times have I second guessed Rosie…" Summer groaned.
"So yeah, we're officially a couple!" Tai smiled.
"Have you kissed her yet!" Qrow called out. "It's not official until you kissed her, ya bozo!" He said, earning an elbow from Raven.
The two looked at each other. "Well… this is awkward…" Tai said.
"Oh, let them witness this magical moment~" Rosalina smiled, pulling him close and kissing him on the lips.
"Mmmph!" Tai grunted in surprise before wrapping his arms around her.
"Atta boy." Qrow chuckled.
Sea5ons looked at each other with a grin while everyone else cheered for them, fireworks exploding in the sky. "Alright, let's get this party started for real then!" Cardin exclaimed.

BGM: Beat Eater (Project SEKAI: COLORFUL STAGE! Ft. Hatsune Miku)
Tai and Rosalina stepped down as everyone had a fun time eating and enjoying each other's company. Bowser would breathe fire on some steaks and then happily gobbled them down. Cinder as in the far back and eating by herself. Well, she wasn't by herself, Rhodes was nearby and he was bouncing his head to the beat of the song. Bowsette would come by and sit by her, both of them sharing a smile.
"So this is who you're dating…" Summer walked over to the two. "You could've told me!"
"Well, I would have if you didn't crawl all over me." Tai shot back with a smirk, causing Summer to sweatdrop.
"I mean… you're not entirely wrong…" Summer mumbled and turned to Rosalina. "Rosie…"
"This… might be awkward." Rosalina rubbed her head.
"Are you kidding? I'm happy for you guys! …I'm just more frustrated that I was second guessing you… way more often than I'd like." Summer mumbled as she hugged her tightly. "Look after them for me, okay?"
"I will." Rosalina smiled, hugging her back.
Zhang looked at this from a distance, smiling. "I'm proud of you, my boy."

Later that night…
Raven walked out of the castle along with her team and Ruby and Yang. "Where are you going?" Yang asked.
"I'm running an errand real quick." Raven said, giving Yang a reassuring smile. "And this time, I'll be coming back for you."
Yang smiled. "Alright!" She nodded as Raven opened up a portal and walked inside.
…And on the other side…
Raven walked through. "Vernal, I need to speak with… you… for a… second… WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled as she would see the whole camp in carnage. The tribe all laid on the ground, spread out and unmoving.
"Raven…" Vernal let out a groan as she painfully crawled over to her. "H-Help…"
"What's going on?!" Raven demanded, seeing flames around the camp. There was something unusual about these flames. They had a green color to them. Green fire…? She thought as she heard footsteps coming from her tent, she immediately turned around to see who had intruded in her tent. "Who are you!"

Post Credit Scene #1!
"So much space… need to see it all!"
"I wish I could take it all back…" Wheatley started as he and Space Core were drifting in the vacuum of space. "I honestly do… I honestly do wish I could take it all back… and not because I'm just stranded in space."
"I'm in space!"
"I know you are, mate!" Wheatley chuckled before looking depressed. "We're both in space…"
"Spaaaaaace!"
"Anyway, if I ever was to see her and her friends again, you know what I would say?"
"I'm in space!"
"I'd say… "I'm sorry! Sincerely, I'm sorry. I am sorry that I was bossy and monstrous and… I am genuinely sorry"."
"I'm in space."
"…The end."
"Ooooh, a space star!"
"Huh?" Wheatley drifted around to see a lone Launch Star. "What in blazes…?"
Space Core went into it… and launched away. "SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!"
"What the bloody-?!" Wheatley drifted into the Launch Star and launched away. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Meanwhile, back at the Mushroom Kingdom…
Caboose looked up at the night sky. "Oooh, a shooting star. I wish I had another friend!"
"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW! INCOOOOMIIIIIIING!" Wheatley yelled as he slammed into the ground nearby. "OW!"
Space Core bounced on the ground and rolled to a gentle stop. "Weeee! Again!"
"Ooooh… my achin…" Wheatley groaned as he heard footsteps as he looked up to see Caboose staring at him.
"Hellooooo~!" He said happily.
"…Ooooh criminy."
Post Credit Scene #2!
"Yahaha! You found me!"
Chiaki smiled. "Finally. I got all nine hundred Korok Seeds. It took me a few hours but I finally got 'em all." She said as she warped over to the Korok Forest. "What's my reward? The Master Sword to its maximum potential? A new secret weapon I can use on those lousy Silver Lynels? Oh, maybe some new clothes!"
"HEY! GUESS WHAT!" Hestu exclaimed. "All the forest children returned to Korok Forest! You must have had an army of people searching for them, huh?"
"Nope. All me… and a trusty guide just in case." Chiaki giggled, selecting the "Nope, just me" button.
"NO WAY! Fwahahaha! NAAAAAAAAAAAAICE~! You've maxed out all your stashes! So let me give you this!"
"Come to mama." Chiaki said happily.
Hestu's Gift: A gift of friendship given to you by Hestu. It smells really bad.
Chiaki stared at the screen for a few seconds in disbelief. "…What."
"So? Do you like it? I hope you'll still visit me. You can watch me dance whenever you want! Shalaka~!"
Chiaki continued to stare at the scree, her shocked expression turned into pure annoyance as her eye twitched. Normally, she would laugh at such a joke, but considering it was late at night, as in 4:30 in the morning… she was anything but amused, not to mention really tired.
A cross vein appeared on her forehead as a low growl escaped her lips as the growl continued to get louder.
Up on the roof of the Smash Mansion, Greninja was out meditating early in the morning. "Ninja…"
"OH COME ON!"
"Ninja?" Greninja wondered before he continued to meditate. "Ninja Ninja."
Ibuki: And this is why no one likes Hestu...
Yeah... no kidding. Anyway, who could have attacked Raven's camp? We'll just have to find out in a Gaiden!
