1: Smashing Universe

In the beginning, I created a universe that was special in ways I could not describe it to be. Where humans see merely games, I see the culmination between heroes and villains.

It began as a simple flame, within the tiny flame contained many stories, and it was merely inside a single universe. Where most universes only contain a pair of heroes in villains, this one contained the motherload of stories.

A plumber saving his princess, a hero with a sword that seals the darkness, a hero small and pink who saves his world, and many, many more.

Although, what would happen if each world's villains were to form together. What would this mean for every hero?

This is a story where all stories are united as one. A threat upon their universe which forces every hero to unite. Where sorrow, despair happen, yet hope reawakens the undying light.

It all began with me. There was only silence and darkness. Yet, in the darkness appeared a single flame, keeping on the legacy of this universe. Normally, a universe eventually dies off, completely disappearing from existence itself, but something kept this universe from dying. To this day I do not know why, but I know it must have to do with hope.

I arrived to investigate the source of this and there I saw the flame. Just flickering there in the darkness. I saw within it the beings of this universe still continuing the fight in their worlds.

Without warning, the flame began to expand. It grew. It became a spire of flames to begin. It finally took form into an orb of fire with a cross in the middle of it.

I was amazed, from this moment I knew this universe was special in ways I cannot even describe.

This is the story of the Super Smash Brothers. I am The Creator, and I will be your guide in this story.

2: Dreams and Invasion

We start off our story in the world known as the Mushroom Kingdom. It was the middle of the night. Complete silence.

Here we find our first hero. He is known as Mario. He was wide asleep in his house, and was also dreaming of events that are yet to happen.

"What the?" Mario questioned.

Whispers were talking throughout the darkness of the void.

"They can take your world," one whisper said. "The Continuance," said another. "Mario, help," another whisper said. "The eight must unite," a whisper said. "The universe will be mine," said another whisper but it was much louder. "There… was… no other… way," said a whisper.

Mario turned around and saw many worlds engulfed in darkness. He turned around once more

"Mario!" a muffled voice yelled. "It's too late," said another voice. "You will never win," said another voice but it was much more distorted.

Mario then saw two giant hands charging at him. Then suddenly, all there was, darkness. Mario awoke. Startled by his recent nightmare he was panting really hard. All of it was fear. He looked around. Everything was the same as it was the previous day. Luigi was also asleep in the bottom bunk.

"What…What was that?" Mario whispered, "Who were all those people? Swords, blasters, fists, keys?"

Mario looked around once more. He looked out the window and saw the rising sun.

"Looks like it will be morning soon. Best not to worry about that nightmare. Likely won't mean a thing. Let's start out this day," Mario said to himself but he was still thinking, "Why would I have this dream? Does it mean anything? What… What is The Continuance?"

A couple of hours have passed and Luigi finally awoke.

"Hey Mario, what's up?" Luigi asked. "Nothing at all Luigi," Mario lied. "So, what's our plan for today?" Luigi asked. "Well, we're meeting Toad, Toadette and Geno at Toad Town before the Star Festival begins." "Oh, then we have a giant cake at Peach's Castle," Luigi added. "A little too soon for that but yeah," Mario said, "Supposedly DK and his crew should be here this year."

Mario and Luigi ate their breakfast spaghetti, then put on their usual plumber uniforms and finally were heading their way to Toad Town, capital of the Mushroom Kingdom.

"So Mario, the newspaper said that today, Bowser hasn't attacked in two months," Luigi said. "I do find it calming when I don't have to save the Princess every weekend," Mario said, "Although I do find it weird that he hasn't attacked. "Why?" Luigi questioned. Mario responded "Well, it's strange that Bowser hasn't retaliated since I beat him up last time, and that was a beating to say the least. I worry that maybe he's planning something big."

At that moment, a couple of Koopa bandits appeared, and it looked like they were itching for a fight.

"Give us all of your coins!" a Koopa bandit ordered. "Yeah, if not we'll take it by force," another bandit said. "Well, looks like we have to fight," Mario said. "Hah, you, fight us," scoffed a koopa bandit, "You both are too fat to fight." "Well, haven't you heard of us? The Mario Brothers," Luigi said. "Wait, you're the Mario Bros," a bandit said in regret. "Uh, truce," the bandits said with a big smile. "I don't think so," Mario said as he punched his fists together. "It was nice knowing you guys," a koopa bandit said to his group.

Punches were being thrown around. The Koopas were screaming.

"We're sorry!" a bandit yelled as they ran away. "And you better not steal anymore!" Mario yelled back. "Oh, that was great bro," Luigi said. "Yeah, a little rusty though," Mario said as he fixed his hat, "Okay, let's a go."

Mario and Luigi finally arrived at the gates of Toad Town.

"Yo, Mario, Luigi," Geno waved to them as he was waiting at the gates. "Geno! How have you been," Mario said. "Oh, I'm doing terrific. Mr. Toyworth finally let me take the day off," Geno said, "Trust me, working there 24/7 is not an easy task." "Oh, well have you seen Toad and Toadette?" Luigi asked. Geno responded, "They said they'll meet us later. They said something about getting matching outfits for adventuring. I'm not sure though because I barely asked any questions." "So, you guys want some coffee?" Mario asked. "Oh yeah," Geno said.

The three of them walked over to Toad's Cafe and grabbed a world famous Mushroom Macchiato.

"Ah, a Mushroom Macchiato is exactly what I need," Mario said, satisfied. "You guys do realize I don't need to eat or drink anything," Geno mentioned. "Well, do you… um…," Luigi said but didn't finish. "Hey guys," said a high pitched voice. "Toad!" Mario said, delighted. "Hey Mario," Toad said. "So, what are you guys up to?" Toadette asked. "Oh, just enjoying some Mushroom Macchiatos," Luigi responded. "Oh, that's great," Toad said.

Around 2 hours have passed and 10 Macchiatos were drunk by Mario, Luigi, Toad and Toadette each.

"So, if you guys are done, we need to head to the castle," Geno said. "Right, just let me *burp* okay let's go," Mario said.

The group headed to the castle gates. Suddenly, the sound of a pair of motorcycles were coming nearer.

"Does anyone hear that?" Toad asked. Mario responded, "Yeah, I hear it," Mario said as he slowly turned around.

Two motorcycles stopped right in front of them. One of them was yellow while the other was purple. Riding them were none other than Wario and Waluigi.

"Hear ye, Hear ye, Toad Town is officially Wario Bro territory," Waluigi said. "Yeah, so scram! If you know what's better for you, you'll leave now!" Wario yelled.

Everyone in town laughed so hard that you could likely hear it from across the universe.

"You two! Take over a Town! Please tell me that's a joke!" Toad screamed as he laughed. Wario looked very angry. "Oh, you're going to regret laughing at us," Wario said. "Oh Petey!" Waluigi yelled.

Suddenly the ground began to shake as something was coming closer to Toad Town. A giant creature roared as he got closer. It was none other than Petey Piranha, accompanied by a Piranha Plant.

"Petey Piranha!" Toadette screamed. "Uh, why does he have a Piranha Plant with him?" Luigi questioned. "Oh, it's bring your son to work day, today," Wario responded. "Oh," Luigi said, "PETEY PIRANHA!"

Petey gave out a huge roar and began attacking the town. Many toads were running, screaming as Petey destroyed buildings.

"We won't let you destroy this town," Mario said heroically. "Yeah, you can take our freedom, but you can't take our freedom!" Toad yelled. The group looked at Toad in confusion. "Uh, okay, I'm pretty sure that won't be the case but we agree, I think," said a confused Mario.

Mario charged at Petey. Mario started charging fire from his hands to throw at Petey. He threw a fireball at Petey but it did nothing.

"What!?" Mario exclaimed, "That usually works!" "Oh, but not this time," Wario said as he revved up his bike. "What's that!?" Luigi exclaimed as he pointed to the sky.

A giant airship had arrived. It was none other than Bowser's Royal Airship, and it was heading toward the castle.

"Good luck Mario, wahaha," Wario said as he followed the airship to the castle. "You guys go stop them. I'll deal with this overgrown salad," Geno said. "Right," Mario said in agreement.

Geno stayed behind to deal with Petey Piranha and his son while Mario, Luigi, Toad and Toadette ran towards the castle.

They ran towards the castle where they stopped for a bit because they heard a voice.

"Why, if it ain't my old friend Luigi and his little friends," the voice said. "Uh is… is that?" Luigi stuttered.

The being appeared and it was none other than King Boo.

"Why, hi there Luigi. Are you prepared for the end?" King Boo said, menacingly. "KING BOO!" Luigi screamed. At that moment, Luigi's Dual Scream started ringing. "Uh, do you need to take that?" King Boo asked. "Yeah," Luigi said as he was shaking. "Okay, I can wait," King Boo said. He was now whistling as he waited.

Luigi answered the Dual Scream and Professor E. Gadd appeared on the scream, I mean screen.

"Luigi! I detect high ghost energy in your area," he said. "Oh yeah, King Boo is here," Luigi said. "Hey E. Gadd," King Boo said. "Oh, hey. Anyway Luigi, I'm sending you the Poltergust 9000 so you can fight him," E. Gadd said.

The Poltergust 9000 was teleported onto Luigi's back.

"Good luck Luigi," E. Gadd said as he hung up. "Okay, you finished?" King Boo asked. "Yeah," Luigi responded. "Uh, what's going on here?" Mario questioned. "I don't know," Toad responded. "Uh, Luigi, are you fine fighting him on your own?" Mario asked. "Yeah," Luigi said.

Mario, Toad and Toadette continued running towards the castle. They stopped immediately because a cannonball was about to hit Mario.

"Hahahaha, Little Mario can't save his girlfriend," said a child's voice. "Bowser Junior," Mario said. "Don't forget about us," another voice said.

Bowser Jr and the Koopalings all flew in.

"Move out of the way!" Mario screamed. "Never!" Bowser Jr said. "Don't worry Mario, we got this," Toad said as he changed into his new uniform. He and Toadette were now Captain Toad and Toadette.

"How… you know what, I'm not going to question it," Mario said.

Toad and Toadette were jumping on top of the Koopalings head.

"Go Mario! The Princess is not in another castle!" Toad yelled. "Right," Mario agreed as he ran towards the castle

Mario was stopped once more because the Wario Bros stopped him.

"Where do you think you're going Mario," Wario said menacingly, "If you think we'll let you go farther than you're wrong." "Yeah, uh, what are we going to do Wario?" Waluigi asked. "I told you 500 times, Waluigi, we're going to beat him up," Wario explained. "Oh, yeah, uh, Wario I forgot what we're going to do again," Waluigi said. Wario sighed. "Whatever, we're going to beat you up Mario," Wario said.

At that moment a random warp-pipe raised up from the ground at the side of the trail.

"Uh, is that yours?" Wario asked.

From the warp-pipe, Princess Daisy had jumped out of it.

"Hey Mario," Daisy said, cheerfully. "Oh, hey, I'm kind of busy right now," Mario said. "Oh, this will only take a second," Daisy said. "Listen here lady, we're kind of in the middle of what's going to be an epic battle, so," Wario said but got slapped in the face by Daisy. "DON'T INTERRUPT ME!" Daisy yelled. "Yes Ma'am," Wario said as he backed away.

"Okay Mario, I need your help to decide on what dress I should wear," Daisy said. "How about the one you always wear," Mario said. "Great Idea Mario, that way I don't need to change," Daisy said.

At that moment, Yoshi had jumped from the warp-pipe.

"Mario, Mario," Yoshi said. "Yes Yoshi," Mario said. "I need your help desperately," Yoshi said, "It's a big emergency." "Okay, what is it?" Mario asked. "What shoes should I wear," Yoshi said. "The same ones that you always wear because you only own a pair!" Mario screamed. "Great choice Mario," Yoshi said.

"So, are you guys done now?" Wario asked. "Yeah, we are," Daisy said, "Definitely," Yoshi said. "Okay Mario, we're going to beat you up now," Wario said. "Yeah, uh, Wario, I forgot again," Waluigi said. "Do you want us to deal with them Mario?" Daisy asked. "Sure, I need to go save Peach anyway," Mario responded. "Great," Yoshi said.

Daisy and Yoshi charged at Wario and Waluigi. A cloud of smoke appeared as if it was a cartoon fight.

"I'm just going to go ahead," Mario said. "You do that," Daisy said. "Yeah, go save the Princess," Yoshi said.

Mario finally ran towards the castle and finally made it to his destination, Peach's Castle. At that moment Bowser's airship had arrived. Bowser got to the edge of his ship with a menacing grin.

"Why if it ain't my old nemesis," Bowser said. "Bowser! What do you want this time! The Princess!" Mario yelled. "Oh, on the contrary my nemesis, this time, we have bigger goals," Bowser said.

Bowser jumped from his airship onto the ground preparing.

"It was nice knowing Mario," Bowser said.

Bowser charged toward Mario. Bowser shoots fireballs from his mouth toward Mario. Mario jumped to dodge them. Mario jumped high enough to land behind Bowser and he grabbed him by the tail and started spinning him around.

"Argh, did you get fatter?" Mario questioned. "I'M THICK BONED!" Bowser screamed.

Mario threw Bowser toward the shadow of his airship.

"It's over, Bowser, give up," Mario said. "Oh, did you think I came alone," Bowser said.

A cannonball shot Mario and launched him toward Peach's castle. Then suddenly as Mario got up, he was punched in the face.

"Oh, where are my manners? Mario, meet King K. Rool," Bowser said. "You will never win," King K. Rool said, "I'd recommend staying down." "Not today lizard lips!" a voice yelled from above.

An ape-like figure jumped from Peach's and landed beside Mario. It was none other than DK, Donkey Kong.

"DK," Mario said. "Hey Mario, sorry I'm late. Diddy wanted to stop for bananas, well I did too but you understand," Donkey Kong said. "Hey, Dixie wanted some too," Diddy Kong said as he landed on the ground. "Everyone wanted some, let's just say that," Dixie Kong said.

Mario got up and they all stood there like an old western movie.

"So, how do you want to go about this?" Mario asked. "We each take one," Donkey Kong suggested, "Diddy, Dixie, go help everyone else." "Right," both Diddy and Dixie said in agreement.

They flew off to help the others fight the other villains.

"Hm, I take Bowser, you take K. Rool," Mario suggested. "Okay with me," Donkey Kong said.

Mario and Donkey Kong charged toward their designated enemies. K. Rool shot a cannonball and they both dodged to the side. Bowser used a flamethrower move while fire was reflecting it back with his own fire. Donkey Kong punched K. Rool in his golden stomach but it did no damage. K. Rool slashed Donkey Kong with his claws then Donkey Kong decided to grab K. Rool from his legs and threw him at Bowser, sending both heavyweights back.

"Face it, you'll never become a ruler," Mario said. "I beg to differ," said another voice.

Something immediately grabbed Mario by the throw and threw him toward the bridge of the castle.

"What the?" Mario questioned as he was panting. "I got this," Donkey Kong said confidently.

Donkey Kong was able to push back the new villains and was pinning him. Unfortunately, the villain grabbed both of Donkey Kong's hands and got him off of him. He then punched him in the face. Donkey Kong went for a punch but the villain dodged it then punched him back. Donkey Kong went for another punch but Ganondorf also dodged and hit him multiple times. Right as Donkey Kong got disorientated, the villain picked him up and threw him where Mario was.

"Pathetic, these are the heroes of this world," the villain scoffed. "Who… Who are you?" Mario asked. "You can call me, Ganondorf," he responded, "And it looks like we have some guests."

Ganondorf turned around and Mario and Donkey Kong noticed that it was the other villains bringing the other heroes. The villains all threw the heroes near Mario's and Donkey Kong's spot.

"I still have to yet wonder why everyone had a difficult time with these pathetic excuses of heroes before now," Ganondorf said. "Well they were difficult to deal with at the time!" Waluigi complained. "Silence," Ganondorf said.

Suddenly Kamek went into the castle and grabbed Peach and threw her at the rest of the team.

"Peach!" Mario yelled as he ran towards her. "Mario, what's happening!?" she exclaimed. "Invasion," Ganondorf said.

At that moment, a green being flew down and gave Ganondorf an orb. The orb was glowing a rainbow color with a fiery aura.

"With this, we will begin our conquest," Ganondorf said as he raised the orb to the sky with his hand.

The orb began turning a brighter, darker color. Ganondorf, with an evil grin, began aiming the orb at the group. Suddenly, Geno launched a beam at Ganondorf before the beam of the orb hit our heroes.

"Geno!" Mario yelled. "I… can't hold it… for much longer," Geno said as he was struggling. "Come on Geno, you can do it!" Mario yelled.

Geno began taking a few steps forward pushing back Ganondorf's beam. In the end, both Geno's and Ganondorf's beam imploded in the middle causing the orb to strain and burst out energy toward the entire universe.

"What… what have you done!?" Ganondorf exclaimed. "I told you not to underestimate them," Bowser said. "It seems I have. No matter, this won't change a thing," Ganondorf said.

Ganondorf shot beams of darkness at the group but at that moment a horde of lumas came flying in and distracted the villains as enough lumas were able to teleport the heroes out of the planet.

"AGH!" Ganondorf screamed, "No matter, they'll be ours in no time. Ancient Minister, you know what to do."

The being known as the Ancient Minister placed down a Subspace Nuke and began the countdown.

"Good luck fighters, because you will need it," Ganondorf said menacingly.

The Subspace Nuke reached 0 and exploded. It covered the entire world of the Mushroom Kingdom in Subspace Darkness, and the Mushroom Kingdom was part of the Subspace Emissary.

3: Meeting at The Comet Observatory

Mario once again had the same dream but more was added into it.

"Mario, help!" yelled a muffled Luigi. "Smash Brothers, your time is nigh," whispered a voice.

"I've been having these weird thoughts lately," whispered a voice. "The universe must be protected," another voice whispered.

"Mario," a muffled Luigi said, "Wake up, wake up, Wake up!"

Mario awoke and found himself near the edge of the endless void known as space.

"Where… Where are we?" Mario questioned. "Space," Peach responded. "What… What happened back there?" Geno asked. "That guy, Ganondorf, he had an orb and it exploded and weird symbols appeared on us when it did," Luigi responded. "But, where exactly are we?" Diddy Kong asked.

Mario touched the floor in recognition. He knew exactly where they were.

"The Comet Observatory," Mario said. "You mean where Rosalina lives," Luigi said. "Yeah, she's got to be around here somewhere," Mario said.

They walked around for a bit until they heard two people talking.

"So, this Continuance. It's begun," a femenime voice said. "Yes, exactly what I feared would happen," responded another voice.

"Uh, who's talking over there?" Donkey Kong asked. "One of them is Rosalina, but the other is unrecognizable," Mario responded.

"I see my friends have arrived," Rosalina said as she turned her head to look at the group. Then the other thing turned around to look at them.

"Uh Rosalina, so why are we here?" Mario asked. "Good questions that will be answered over time," Rosalina responded. "So, you are all the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. I've heard all about you," the other thing said. "I'm sorry, what?" Peach questioned, "Who exactly are you?" "I am an ally to your fight. Call me Meta Knight," he responded, "And we have a lot to talk about."

Rosalina had gathered a long table together and everyone sat in their seats. Meta Knight began the conversation.

"As you all know, your world recently was invaded." "Yeah, what's the deal with that? Bowser has never been known to pull off an attack such as that," Peach said. "That's because he's not working alone this time," Meta Knight responded, "He is working with a group known as the Subspace Army. It includes the universe's most powerful villains." "Wait, the universe?" Mario questioned. "Likely that one of the villains somehow discovered that there were more worlds than their own and decided to travel between them, recruiting more villains," Rosalina explained.

"How many of them are there?" Mario asked. "Enough to conquer entire worlds," Meta Knight responded. "How are we going to stop them then?" Luigi asked. "That's the thing, if these villains come from other worlds, then there must be heroes in these worlds that could be willing to help," Rosalina responded. "And what exactly is the Continuance?" Peach asked.

Rosalina and Meta Knight looked at each other as if they were worried.

"What?" Peach asked. Meta Knight took a deep breath then explained, "The Continuance is an energy said to have existed since the beginning of time or even the universe. It was contained within an orb until now. With the energy lose across the entire universe, anything that could possibly kill anyone with that symbol will simply turn into a trophy, waiting to be awakened by a fellow fighter. Although when in trophy mode it makes us vulnerable to Subspace Energy which is something even more powerful than darkness itself."

For a moment everything was in complete silence. Everyone looked at each other in a worried expression.

"And you'll help us?" Mario asked Meta Knight. "I will, but on the opposing side," Meta Knight responded. "Opposing side?" Donkey Kong questioned. "Yes, me and his majesty will act as spies for you heroes. We will try to slow down their operations," Meta Knight explained, "And to start off your army, I brought the heroes from my world to help you out."

Two beings, the same size as Meta Knight, walked in. The most noticeable one was pink.

"These are the heroes from my world, Kirby and Bandana Waddle-Dee. They may look small but they are mighty I assure you," Meta Knight said, "Now, I implore all of you to gather as many troops as you can. There are fighters across the universe who could help you." "And how do we get to those other worlds?" Mario asked. "Ooh, we get a bunch of bananas," Donkey Kong suggested. "Okay, any better plans," Mario said. "I think I can help you with that," Rosalina said, "Not with the bananas, I mean traveling to worlds.:

The entire group arrived at the deck of the ship where Meta Knight's ship, The Halberd, was stationed besides another smaller ship.

"Is that… The Odyssey?" Mario asked. "Yeah, your friend Cappy decided to leave it here with me for safe-keeping. I'm sure he'll let you guys ride it for the sake of the world," Rosalina said. "Well, this is where I'll take my leave. The King is getting impatient," Meta Knight said. "Well, it was nice meeting you," Mario said as he took his hand out for a shake. "Likewise," Meta Knight said as he nodded and shook Mario's hand.

Meta Knight opened his ship and was starting to walk on the ramp but before he fully went inside, he turned around to say one last thing to our heroes.

"Here, take this," Meta Knight said as he threw something at Mario's hand. "It's a one way pager. I'll be contacting you with information," Meta Knight explained, "And one more thing. I may be forced to fight you in the future so it will be nothing personal when I do." "Right, thanks," Mario said as he put away the pager in his pockets.

The Halberd took off toward space and left the Observatory.

"So, where do we start?" Mario asked.

4: Hyrule Encounters

1: Zora Champion: Mipha

The Odyssey landed in a plain vast with grass. They had parked near a tower with a unique architecture.

"So team, how do we find our new friends?" Mario asked. "Uh, wait, you don't know," Donkey Kong said. "Well I recommend that we search the entire place," Mario said.

The group walked south and searched many nooks and crannies but still no sign of the fighters of this world. They searched the jungle of Faron, The Dueling Peaks, even the snowy biome of Hateno, yet they couldn't find any fighters.

"No sign of anything yet," Mario said as they were walking on the edge of the Lanayru River. "Yeah, and we've been chased out of so many horse stables for some reason," Donkey Kong said. "Probably because we have a talking monkey and a pink gumball with us," Luigi said. "Well that doesn't seem very strange," Donkey Kong said optimistically. "Wait, hold on," Mario said as they came to a halt. "What's wrong Mario?" Luigi asked. "Look," Mario said as he pointed in the distance nearby.

He pointed at two white stallions with riders walking on the trail. The front rider was a woman in blue with blonde hair while the one behind her was a man in blue and a shield on his back. Following them was another woman who looked like a ninja and a tiny robot.

"Perhaps we can ask them," Luigi suggested. "Seems like our best bet," Mario responded. "Well, let's go," Donkey Kong said. "Hold on, we need to approach them slowly so we don't scare them," Mario said. "Right," Luigi agreed. "Okay, let's a go," Mario said.

While our heroes were following this new group, the group was talking about the symbols.

"So do you really think that we could figure that symbol out in Zora," Impa said. "It's our best bet. This is nothing compared to any of the ancient runes," Zelda responded. "Still, I don't think it's the best idea to go out wandering while we don't know anything about this symbol," Impa said. "Well we can't sit around and do nothing," Zelda said.

Link suddenly came to a halt and got off from his sword.

"Link, what's wrong?" Zelda asked

Link got the Master Sword out of its hilt and went for a swing but stopped the swing right when it was about to hit Mario's nose.

"Wow, that was close," Mario said. "Hi there," Luigi said. "Hello," Donkey Kong said with a wave.

Link started swinging the Master Sword but Mario dodged.

"Calm, we're not enemies!" Mario yelled.

Link didn't listen and kept attacking. Luckily Mario was able to jump very high to avoid Link's attacks. At that moment Kirby began sucking in air.

"MAMAMIA!" Mario screamed as he was sucked into Kirby's mouth. "AHHH!" Link screamed as he was also sucked into Kirby's mouth.

"Uh, what just happened?" Impa asked.

Kirby then spat out both heroes and they both fell to the ground.

After a few moments both heroes got up from the ground and decided not to attack each other.

"So, who exactly are you guys and why do you have a talking monkey with you?" Impa asked. "I'm Mario and there are my brother and friends Luigi, Donkey Kong and Kirby," Mario responded, "And we have a lot to talk about."

Mario explained the Continuance and the Subspace Army to the group of Hyrule.

"So, this Subspace Army wants to conquer the entire universe?" Zelda questioned. "Yeah, they've already taken over our world, so we have no choice but to stop them," Mario responded. "And the reason for the symbol is something called Continuance energy?" Zelda asked.

The Hyrule group all looked at each and huddled together.

"So, do we believe them or," Impa whispered. "They're our best lead so far," Zelda whispered. "Yet how do we know they're not pawns of the Calamity Ganon?" Impa asked in a whisper. "We won't know that for sure," Zelda responded as she whispered. "Then I suggest not to leave our guard down," Impa suggested in a whisper.

They all agreed to help out our heroes but they will not leave their guard down. Then they all headed together to Zora's Domain.

"So, what is this place?" Mario asked. "This is Zora's Domain, home of the Zora," Zelda responded. "And why are we here?" Luigi asked. "A friend of ours also received the symbol along with us," Impa responded.

They walked along and all the Zora looked weirdly at Mario, Luigi, Kirby and DK. Then, a familiar Zora walked up to them.

"Mipha, glad to see you are doing well," Impa said. "Yeah, I'm doing alright. Erm, can I ask you a question?" Mipha asked. "Sure," Zelda responded. "So, who are these people?" she asked. "Well these are our new friends, Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Kirby," Impa responded. "Hello," Luigi said with a wave. Mipha waved back.

"So, what exactly are you here for?" Mipha asked. "Well, we need to find more on that symbol so I'm wondering if I could speak to your father," Zelda responded. "Very well, and in the meantime I can spend some time with Link," Mipha said. "Thanks," Zelda said.

Zelda and Impa were on their way to the throne room when Impa stopped and whispered something to Mipha.

"Watch them," Impa whispered. MIpha nodded in agreement.

Zelda and Impa walked into the throne room to speak with the leader of the Zora, King Dorephan.

"So, there is a threat to the universe and you want my daughter to join this army," King Dorephan said. "Yes. I don't know much of this Subspace Army but they definitely sound like threats," Zelda explained. "I'm sorry but I must decline your request. I can't send my daughter to a possible demise," King Dorephan said.

At that moment a Zora Soldier came running in.

"King Dorephan, the Moblin army is heading our way," he said. "I'm sorry Princess but this is urgent. We'll discuss this further," King Dorephan said as he left outside in haste.

"I hope Link and the others will be okay," Zelda said.

Mipha and Link were walking on a bridge together along with Terrako and our heroes who were walking behind them.

"I see you haven't changed much since the Princess sealed away the calamity," Mipha said. Link nodded and smiled. "Hm, those two seem like they get along very well," Mario said in a whisper.

Then another Zora soldier came running up to them to warn them of the Moblin Army.

"Princess Mipha, the Moblin Army is on the way and Prince Sidon is nowhere to be found," she said. "Don't worry, go join my father and I'll find my brother," Mipha said. "Right," the Zora soldier agreed.

Mipha turned around to the group and said, "You all can go back if you want." "No, if someone's in danger I'm ain't turning back," Mario said. "Uh, can I Mario?" Luigi asked. Mario looked at him with a "really" expression. "Ha, that was just a joke, definitely not an actual question," Luigi said. "Very well then, let's go," Mipha said.

They ran towards the mountains of Zora to find Mipha's younger brother, Sidon. In the meantime, Mipha and Link dealt with any monsters on the path. They finally made it to the top where they saw that a Zora child was holding a spear against a monster known as a Lynel.

"Sidon!" Mipha yelled as she ran towards him. The Lynel gave out a large roar and began charging at Sidon.

Sidon had his eyes closed, preparing for the worst, but when he opened them, he saw that something was holding the beast back.

"Get him out here!" Donkey Kong said as he was holding the Lynel back.

Mipha nodded and grabbed Sidon and took him to the side along with Link and Terrako. Donkey Kong was able to grab the Lynel and throw it to some rocks.

The Lynel got up and roared in anger. "Look out!" Mario yelled as he threw a fireball at the monster. Donkey Kong was able to dodge the Lynel's attack and the fire hit the Lynel.

The Lynel then turned around at Mario and began charging at him. Luigi, without thinking, ran behind the Lynel and jumped on its back.

"Luigi! What are you doing!?" Mario exclaimed. "I… Don't… Know!" Luigi screamed as the Lynel was jumping around to know Luigi.

Mario threw another fireball at the Lynel but Kirby ate it. Kirby jumped up high, spinning in the air, and suddenly a hat, just like Mario's, had appeared on Kirby's head.

"Well, that's a nice look," Mario said. "Let's a go!" Kirby said in his high pitched voice.

Kirby threw a fireball at the Lynel.

"He even copies me," Mario said as he threw another fireball. Luigi jumped off the Lynel and both Mario and Kirby jumped on top of the Lynel, knocking it out.

"Wow, that was quite an attack," Mipha said. "Yeah, we usually don't fight monsters like this but we're not going to let something like that attack a child," Mario said. Link nodded. The Lynel grunted a bit. "But I recommend we get out of here," Luigi said. "Agreed," everyone else said except Link who nodded.

Back on the bridge heading toward the Zora's Domain, King Dorephan along with a bunch of Zora Soldiers were fighting the Moblins who had lightning spears.

"There's too many your majesty!" a soldier said. "We can't give up. We must not allow them to enter," King Dorephan said.

At that moment a Moblin punched him and knocked him onto the ground. The Moblin was about to stab him with a spear when a fireball hit the Moblin, knocking it down onto the ground.

"Father, are you all right?" Mipha asked as she came to tend to him. "I'm fine Mipha, but what just happened," King Dorephan responded. "Don't worry, we got this," Mario said as he jumped onto the battlefield. "Yeah, he gets like that when he is in the zone," Luigi said as he followed Mario.

In a matter of minutes, the group drove the Moblins out and they were victorious. Back in the throne room, everyone had gathered while King Dorephan was talking to Mipha.

"Mipha, I trust you know what to do. I see now that these heroes are strong enough to protect you and you'll be strong enough to protect them. As King of the Zora, I ask you, Mipha, Champion of Zora, to join this group in their upcoming battle," King Dorephan said. "I accept father," Mipha said. "Then it's all set in motion. You four, I wish to speak with you," King Dorephan said.

Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Kirby walked up to the front.

"It seems I made a terrible assumption when I heard of you, so for that, I hope you can accept my apology," King Dorephan said. "Oh it's fine, understandable," Mario said. "Then I promptly hope you all win this war. You are our only chance for survival," King Dorephan said. "Right, no pressure at all," Donkey Kong said in a whisper.

Afterwards, our heroes were now having a conversation.

"Well, I'm sure it will be nice having you on the team Mipha," Mario said. "Likewise," Mipha said. "So, where are we heading next?" Luigi asked. "Well, Daruk is in Goron Town in Eldin so I suppose that would be our closest place to go," Zelda responded. "Goron Town? How is that place?" Donkey Kong asked. "Hot, like extremely hot. It's near Death Mountain," Impa said. "Please tell me that name is an exaggeration," Luigi said. "Oh it's not an actual Mountain that causes death," Zelda said. "Oh thank pasta," Luigi said with relief. "Yeah, it's a volcano that could cause death," Impa said.

Luigi's eyes widened in fear immediately after he heard the words, Volcano and Death.

"If it's okay, I'd like to go see The Odyssey," Mipha said. Luigi said immediately, "You know what Mipha, that's a great idea, I'll go show you." "You sure you don't want to go Luigi?" Mario asked. "I'm very sure Mario," Luigi said with a big smile. "Okay, well I suppose we'll see you after we get the others," Mario said. "Thanks bro," Luigi said.

As Luigi and Mipha were walking back to The Odyssey, the rest of the group were heading their way toward Goron Town in Eldin.

2: Goron Champion: Daruk

Immediately as the group arrived in Eldin, it was extremely hot, so hot that the group were nearly on fire.

"Oh Mamamia, why does it have to be so hot," Mario said. "Here… take… this," Zelda said as she handed a potion to Mario. Mario drank it but immediately regretted it. "EW! That tastes like Mama's spoiled ravioli!" Mario screamed. Zelda finished hers then she explained, "It is a fire resistance potion. It won't let us catch on fire when we're in Goron Town." "But why does it taste so bad," Mario said. "It's made out of lizards," Impa said. Mario shook his head rapidly as his mouth tasted disgust.

They walked further and finally made it to Goron Town where it was full of the boulder-like beings known as Gorons.

"So, where is your friend?" Mario asked. "He said to meet him at the bridge that goes toward Death Mountain," Zelda said. "Yeah cause it's a good idea going to a volcano called Death Mountain," Donkey Kong said sarcastically.

They walked forward and they finally made it to the bridge that led to Death Mountain. Daruk was there awaiting them.

"Why, hello there," Daruk greeted. "Daruk, so nice to meet you," Zelda said. "It's nice to see you too Princess. Oh, and who are these guys?" Daruk asked. "These are our new friends, Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby," Impa responded, "Well, it's nice to meet all of you," Daruk said with a smile. "Nice to meet you too Darek," Mario said. "It's pronounced Daruk, DA-ROOK," Daruk politely responded. "Sorry, not good with names," Mario said. "Not a big deal, anyway, perfect timing everyone," Daruk said. "Why? What's wrong?" Zelda asked. Daruk responded, "Well you see, monsters have been invading Death Mountain so they haven't let us mine there." "So, you need our help to clear them out," Impa said. "Precisely," Daruk said. "Well, we're really in a hurry so," Mario said. "Oh, it shouldn't take too long," Daruk said. "Ugh, fine, let's make this quick," Mario said, unamused.

The group walked on the bridge and at the moment they crossed it, monsters had appeared wanting a fight. Around half an hour had passed and they finally took care of all the monsters in the area.

"Wow… Those were… tough," Mario said panting. "Well this was two times faster than the last time so thanks," Daruk said. "Yeah, no problem, you're pretty strong," Donkey Kong said. "You are too. Are you sure you're not a Goron," Daruk said. "I am a 100% ape fine guy," Donkey Kong said. "Oh, that reminds me, anyone wants some Rock Roast," Daruk said as he took out a big roast that was made out of boulders. "I'd try. I haven't eaten anything in a couple of hours," Mario said.

Daruk handed Mario the giant Rock Roast and Mario took a bite out of it. In mere seconds, the entire roast had disappeared.

"Wow! That was AMAZING!" Mario yelled as his eyes glowed. "HAHAHA!" Daruk laughed, "You're alright smaller guy." "Okay, can we tell you why we need your help?" Zelda asked. "Right, I nearly forgot about that. So, what's the problem?" Daruk responded.

The group explained everything about the threat to their universe.

"So, this Subspace Army is trying to take over the entire universe," Daruk said. "Yeah, and we need to gain an army so we can stop them," Mario said. "Very well, if they're a threat to our home I can't just stand by and do nothing," Daruk said. "Very well, so where do we go next?" Mario asked. "Well, I'd like to meet your brother and see this ship of yours," Daruk said. "Okay, I can take him," Donkey Kong said. "You sure DK?" Mario asked. "It'll be fine Mario, he's like a brother to me," Donkey Kong responded. "Very well DK, well I suppose we'll meet you when we get back then," Mario said. "Fine by me," Daruk said.

Donkey Kong and Daruk decided to go back to The Odyssey to meet with Luigi and Mipha while the rest of the group decided to visit Gerudo Town in Gerudo.

3: Rito Champion: Revali

As the group walked towards Gerudo they decided to stop and eat in the Great Plateau.

"So, on a daily basis you save your princess from a giant turtle," Impa said. "Basically, Bowser is very annoying," Mario said. "What about Kirby?" Zelda asked. "I actually do not know anything about him," Mario said. "How come?" Impa asked as she tilted her head. "Well you see, Kirby is not from my world," Mario responded, "From what Meta Knight told me, he's from another world called Dreamland." "Meta Knight?" Zelda questioned. "Oh right, he's our spy. He's spying on the Subspace Army," Mario explained.

At that moment a shadow had flown across the group from above.

"Hm, it seems like a bird wants some food," Mario said.

Then suddenly an arrow hit Mario, freezing him in ice. Kirby stood up in surprise.

"Oh come on now. Revali, get down here!" Zelda yelled.

Suddenly, the giant bird known as Revali came down.

"Well, it seems I successfully hit my target," Revali said. "Calm down Revali, they're our friends," Impa said. "Oh, well I still can't miss. They don't call me the best shooter in Rito for nothing," Revali said.

Mario unfroze and was looking angry.

"Calm down Mario, it was just a misunderstanding," Impa said. "HE FROZE ME IN ICE!" Mario yelled. "Fair point," Impa said, "But he's another friend who can help." "Damn it," Mario whispered. "Honestly, this pair seems very pathetic," Revali scoffed, "I mean look at the kind of outfit he is wearing, and the other one is so small." "Oh I want to so hit you right now," Mario said. "Well fly high and you can," Revali said as he flew up into the sky. "Do we really need him on the team?" Mario asked. "Well he's one of the people here who got the symbol," Impa responded. "Darn," Mario whispered.

"Honestly, I wouldn't even want to join your team. I could probably deal with this army with a single arrow," Revali said. "Oh well, too bad, too sad," Mario said. "Well, I suppose if you really want me to join, then I suppose I will," Revali said.

Revali then flew towards the direction of The Odyssey.

"I'll see you there," Revali said. "Ooh, If I just had a rock right now," Mario said, spitefully. "Don't worry, once you get to know him you'll get along," Zelda said. "Doubt it," Mario said.

Once more the group were now heading their way toward Gerudo Town.

4: Gerudo Champion: Urbosa

The group, after traveling the desert, finally made it to Gerudo but as the group was going in, two Gerudo guards did not allow Mario and Link to enter.

"Hey, what's the big deal!?" Mario exclaimed. "Voes are not allowed to enter Gerudo Town," the guard said. "What are Voes?" Mario questioned. "Right, forgot to tell you. Voe is a Gerudo term for "man". Gerudo Town is kind of a woman-only civilization," Impa said. "What! This is outrageous! I demand entrance!" Mario ordered.

Suddenly a guard suddenly pointed a spear at Mario.

"Or, I can stay here. No biggy," Mario said with a big smile. "Just hang out with Link a bit while we talk to Urbosa," Zelda said.

The women entered as Mario and Link stood outside awkwardly.

"So, do you have any hobbies?" Mario asked Link. Link nodded. "Uh, do you speak?" Mario asked. Link shook his head. "This is going to be a long wait," Mario said to himself.

Meanwhile, inside Gerudo Town the group made it inside Urbosa's throne room.

"Why, if it isn't the Princess of Hyrule," Urbosa said. "Sorry to drop unannounced Urbosa but we have serious matters to talk about," Zelda said. "Indeed we do," Urbosa said as she got up and took out her sword. "Uh, Urbosa, why are you taking your sword out?" Impa questioned. "For this," she responded.

Urbosa was about to hit Zelda with her sword when Impa stopped her with her blades.

"Urbosa, what are you doing!?" Impa exclaimed. "What I should've done a long time ago," she responded menacingly.

Urbosa kept swinging and Impa was knocked onto the ground. Urbosa was about to stab Impa when Terrako knocked into her. Now she was swinging at Terrako but the little guardian was jumping to dodge the attacks.

"Somethings wrong with her," Zelda said. "Obviously," Impa said, "Hey Pink thing, think you can do something."

Kirby nodded and jumped on top of Urbosa to block her sight.

"Argh, get off!" Urbosa yelled. "Urbosa, calm down!" Zelda yelled.

Suddenly Urbosa snapped her fingers and shocked Kirby with a lightning blast which knocked him off.

"Kirby!" Zelda yelled as she reached to grab him. "Time to die," Urbosa said as she raised her sword high into the air.

Suddenly, Zelda's hand began to light up and she shot a beam of light at Urbosa, sending her back and knocking her out.

"Princess!" Impa yelled as she went to her. Terrako also went to her. "I thought your powers were drained when you used it to seal the Calamity Ganon?" Impa asked. "I… I thought so too," Zelda responded. "Ugh. What… What happened?" Urbosa said as she got up.

The group, still on edge, still held up their weapons.

"What… What are you all doing here?" Urbosa asked. "We should be asking you the questions. You attacked us," Impa responded. "Wait, I don't remember attacking you," Urbosa said.

They all came back to their senses and Urbosa explained what was happening.

"So, you don't remember us coming in," Zelda said. "No, I don't remember anything that had happened today," Urbosa said. "Strange, how suddenly our new friends arrive and Urbosa happens to be unbeknownst to what happened today," Impa said. "It's possible that this is something to do with the Subspace Army," Zelda said. "Right, I do remember another voice in my mind, telling me what to do," Urbosa said, "And I couldn't keep it quiet."

Urbosa then turned around and kneeled down toward Kirby, "So, you helped keep the Princess safe from me. Mind if we spar a little," Urbosa said. "I'm not sure if we have time for a sparring session," Impa said, "Especially if the Subspace Army already has their influence here." "I'm sure we can spare a bit of time. Here's the deal, I will join if I get the sparring session," Urbosa said. "I suppose we can't argue much," Zelda said.

Near the soldier's camp, Kirby and Urbosa were preparing for the sparring session.

"Let's see how powerful you are, little one," Urbosa said as she prepped her sword and shield. Kirby was struggling to lift the sword he was given.

Urbosa charged toward Kirby and both their swords clashed. Urbosa pushed Kirby back and Kirby shook and charged at Urbosa.

"You're good, but let's see if you can do better," Urbosa said.

Urbosa snapped her fingers and a lightning blast hit Kirby, sending him back. Urbosa snapped her fingers once more but this time Kirby ate the lightning blast and he jumped into the air and began to transform.

"What!?" Urbosa exclaimed.

Kirby transformed and hair such as Urbosa's appeared on him and a scimitar and shield like Urbosa's had appeared on Kirby's hand.

"Well, that's impressive," Urbosa said.

Kirby held a hand out, as if he was snapping, and lightning bolts appeared. Urbosa charged at Kirby but this time Kirby was able to counter the attack. The scimitar was no longer imbalanced for Kirby.

"Wow, you fight exactly like me," Urbosa said as she put her weapons away. Kirby did the same. "Seems like you will be a worthy teammate," Urbosa complimented. Kirby nodded in agreement as he began to turn back into himself. "Well your little friend is powerful alright. She will be a worthy teammate against this Subspace Army," Urbosa said. "Well actually, Kirby is a boy," Zelda said. "Wait? She's a he?" Urbosa questioned. "Yes," Zelda said with a smile. "Well no matter, he'll be a perfect teammate," Urbosa said.

The group went outside Gerudo Town where Mario was going crazy to try and get Link to talk.

"Come on. Favorite color? Crush name? Just say anything please," Mario begged.
"Uh, what's going on here?" Impa asked. "Did you know Link here won't speak," Mario said. "Yeah, that's basically how he's been since we met him," Impa said. "Right, looks like we have everyone we need so let's go back to the Odyssey," Zelda said.

So the group went to go and meet the others back to The Odyssey.

5: Hyrule Devastation

The group has successfully recruited all the fighters of Hyrule so now the only plan left is to return to The Comet Observatory, but it seems that The Subspace Army will have different plans for our heroes.

"So, you sure that is everyone?" Mario asked. "As far as we're aware of, yeah," Zelda responded. "Well, everyone is sure they want to leave the planet and join our army," Luigi said. "Well if it's for the faith of the universe, then we have no choice," Impa said. Mario smiled and said, "Right." "Oh, but you will not leave here alive," said another voice.

The entire group turned around and found an alien-like creature floating in the air.

"What… What is that?" Mipha questioned. "Your demise," the creature said as he landed on the ground, "You may have disrupted my control earlier but you have no chance now." "Your control?" Urbosa questioned, "You're the one who made me attack the Princess!" Urbosa yelled. "Precisely. Now you will all be pawns for the Subspace Army because We ARE AT HAND!" the creature yelled as it sent out a large beam of energy into the sky.

"Pathetic, that did nothing," Revali said.

Suddenly an entire armada appeared in the sky.

Mario hit Revali in the back and said, "Spoke too soon did you."

Multiple ships came down and attacked all the locations in Hyrule. The ships attacked Zora's Domain, Goron City, Rito Village, Gerudo Town and Hyrule Castle.

"Father," Zelda said softly. "As for me, you can call me Mewtwo, but it will not matter anyway," it said.

Mewtwo threw orbs of darkness at the group. Kirby was able to eat them and send them back to Mewtwo.

"ARGH! You think that is all it will take to stop me!" Mewtwo yelled as he began to raise objects with his psychic powers.

"Oh yeah, that's all the damage you can do. Pathetic," Revali said.

Suddenly, Mewtwo was carrying 15 towers.

"Can you please stop talking," Mario said.

Urbosa snapped and a lightning bolt hit Mewtwo.

"You sure this won't hurt," Daruk said. "Promise," Donkey Kong said as he threw Daruk at Mewtwo. Mewtwo then landed on the ground

"Ready Mipha," Luigi said. "On it," Mipha said as she jumped on top of Luigi. Luigi then jumped and Mipha jumped off and slashed Mewtwo with her spear.

"Don't worry, I can handle this with each," Revali said. "Oh, I can do it better than you," Mario said as he jumped on Revali. "Hey! Let Go!" Revali yelled.

Revali threw an arrow at Mewtwo then Mario threw some fire and the arrow exploded.

Immediately after, Kirby jumped on Mewtwo and Urbosa hit Mewtwo with her scimitar.

"ENOUGH!" Mewtwo yelled as he sent out a burst of energy all around him which caused the group to be flung back. "YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS!" Mewtwo screamed.

At that moment, Subspace Particles began appearing around the group.

"What… What is this stuff?" Mario questioned.

The Particles grew into monsters, but not the same ones from Hyrule.

"What are these things?" Impa questioned as she slashed one in half. "Primids," Mario said slowly.

"Princess, you need to get out of here!" Daruk ordered. "But we can't just leave you!" Zelda yelled. "Princess, you need to leave to avenge us," Urbosa said. "But," Zelda said before she was interrupted. "No Princess! Leave Now and Don't Look back! Mario! Link! Take her with you!" Daruk ordered. Link stopped for a moment and nodded in agreement. Link grabbed Zelda's hand and ran off with her. "No! Let go! Daruk! Urbosa! Mipha! Revali!" she screamed. "Win this war for us, Princess," Daruk said.

Link, Impa and Zelda climbed The Odyssey with the others and left the planet while Hyrule was consumed by the Subspace along with the Champions. It was left in devastation.

5: Invasive Metroids

The Odyssey finally arrived in the Comet Observatory but Zelda was beginning to get butterflies in her stomach.

"Oh, I don't know if I should do this. What… What if they don't like me," Zelda said. "Oh Princess, it will be fine," Impa said. "But I… I don't know anything about them," Zelda said. "Zelda, it will be fine. Just go out and be yourself," Mario. "Right," Zelda said, "Just be myself."

Mario opened The Odyssey door outside, yet it was completely silent.

"So, is it usually this quiet?" Impa asked. "Nah, if I know Diddy and Dixie, then they're never quiet," Donkey Kong responded. "Hello! Anyone here!" Mario yelled.

There was still complete silence, no sign of any life, not even a single luma.

"Strange, perhaps we should explore a bit before we start to worry," Mario said. "I'm not sure if that's a good idea," Impa said. "Unfortunately, we have no choice," Mario said.

The group searched around the Observatory but there was no sign of anyone.

"Nothing?" Mario asked. "Nothing," Everyone else responded. "Hm, this isn't like any of them, well maybe Diddy and Dixie," Mario said. "Uh, does anyone see that?" Luigi asked as he pointed in a direction.

Luigi pointed to a jellyfish creature that was floating near them.

"Uh, Mario, what is that?" Zelda asked.

She turned around but the entire group besides Luigi was gone.

"Uh, guys?" Zelda asked. "Zelda, what's wrong?" Luigi said as he turned around to find that the others had disappeared. "What! Where did they go?" Luigi asked. "I don't know. Just one moment I looked away and they were gone," Zelda responded in panic.

Suddenly the creature from the distance started floating near them.

"Um, should we run?" Zelda asked in fear. "Maybe it's friendly," Luigi responded.

The creature had arrived at their location and perched on top of Luigi's head.

"See, it is friendly," Luigi said. "Well, that's good," Zelda said in relief.

The creature started to move as if it was sucking on a lollipop.

"Wait… I… Feel… Weird," Luigi said weakly as he fell to the ground. "Luigi! What's wrong!?" Zelda exclaimed.

Suddenly a bright light flashed on Luigi and he was turned into a lifeless trophy.

"Luigi!" Zelda screamed.

The creature that was perched on Luigi's head grabbed his statue and floated him away.

"Luigi! Luigi!" Zelda screamed.

At that moment, another creature like the other had creeped up behind Zelda and was aiming at her.

"No! Get back!" Zelda said as she began to run away. Unfortunately she had tripped and fell to the ground. "No!" she screamed as she closed her eyes, preparing for the worst.

Suddenly, blaster shots were heard. Zelda opened her eyes and found that the creature had been frozen. It dissipated and turned into an orb. Then in front of her, she saw another being walking toward her.

"No! Stay back!" Zelda screamed. "Calm down. I'm a friend," the being said. "Who… Who are you?" Zelda asked. "I'm Samus, lovely to meet you," she responded.

Samus helped Zelda stand up and she began to talk about the creatures.

"What exactly was that thing?" Zelda asked. "A Metroid," Samus responded. "Metroid?" Zelda questioned. "Alien creatures that were created to kill a parasite. Unfortunately some forces got their hands on them and weaponized them. They are able to siphon energy from the beings they perch on, basically killing them," Samus explained. "And, why are they here?" Zelda asked. "They were released by some scientist. Unfortunately they didn't make it. I was sent here to extinguish them," Samus responded. "By any chance do you know where my friends are?" Zelda asked. "The Metroids likely got them. We'll likely be able to find them if we follow that trail," Samus said as she pointed in a direction.

Zelda turned around and found that there was a trail of metroids leading into the library of the Observatory. Then suddenly a metroid came back and picked up Luigi and followed its companions.

"Hm, it's likely that your friends are being eaten over there," Samus said. "Eaten!?" Zelda exclaimed. "Yeah, I'll just go in and freeze all of them, then it will be over," Samus said as she prepared her blaster. "I'll go in with you," Zelda said. "Sorry. Metroids are too dangerous," Samus said, "Their only weakness is being frozen." "Well if you must know, I have a Sheikah Slate," Zelda said. "A what now?" Samus questioned, "Does it have anything that can freeze them?" "Precisely," Zelda responded as she showed Samus.

Besides them, a pillar of ice had appeared when Zelda used the Sheikah Slate.

"Well, that'll be useful. Fine, follow me and stay behind me," Samus said. Zelda nodded.

They followed closely behind the trail of metroids. They sneaked very quietly until they finally made it to the library.

"Wow, never seen this much of a contamination," Samus whispered. "There," Zelda whispered as she pointed at the trophies of her friends. "Strange how they're statues," Samus said. "Why?" Zelda asked. "Because the scientists had their energy consumed by the metroids, they turned into shiny orbs," Samus responded, "Yet your friends here are statues, and those bases look like the symbol I got two days ago." "We all got that symbol when The Continuance happened," Zelda said.

A metroid spotted them and began floating near them.

"Watch out!" Samus yelled as she shot the metroid.

Suddenly all the other metroids noticed them.

"Damn!" Samus exclaimed, "Looks like we have to fight."

Samus shot multiple metroids and froze them. Zelda created more ice pillars, catching around 3-4 metroids at a time. Suddenly, Samus stopped shooting.

"Darn! It's jammed!" Samus yelled. "There's too many of them!" Zelda exclaimed.

The metroids began to corner Samus and Zelda and they were hopelessly outnumbered.

"Have any other tricks that can work?" Samus asked. "Hm, perhaps if I'm able to…" Zelda said as she put out her hand and shot out a blast of light. "You had that the entire time!?" Samus exclaimed. "I thought it was drained," Zelda said. "Well, no matter, just use it!" Samus yelled.

Zelda began shooting blasts of light at the metroids but there were still too many.

"If only we had someone else here," Samus said. "Hiiii," Kirby said. "Oh, hey Kirby," Zelda said, "Wait! Kirby!" "Who's this?" Samus asked, "It doesn't look like a metroid." "He's Kirby, a friend of ours," Zelda said, "I thought he was taken by the metroid." "Well, think he can help?" Samus asked. "Hm, let's see," Zelda responded, "Kirby, if I were to throw something, could you catch it?"

Kirby nodded.

"Okay, here!" Zelda yelled as she sent out another blast of light.

Kirby ate it and jumped into the air. Suddenly, hair, the same as Zelda's, appeared on Kirby's head. Kirby then shot multiple blasts of light and disintegrated the metroids.

"Well, you could've done that sooner, but impressive," Samus said.

Zelda immediately ran up to her friends but they weren't moving, they were just standing there as statues.

Kirby went up to the statue of Link and looked curiously at him.

"Hm, their energy was siphoned up, yet the statues are something I've never seen before," Samus said.

Kirby touched the base of Link's trophy and it began glowing for a second and Link was awakened.

"Link!" Zelda screamed as she went to hug him. "How… How did you just do that?" Samus asked Kirby. Kirby just tilted his head in a confused expression. "I think you just touched the base, then.." Samus said as she touched Mario's base.

Mario's trophy suddenly awakened and Mario was confused about where he was.

"What! Why! What's going on!?" Mario exclaimed, "And who are you?" "I'm Samus, Samus Aran," Samus said as she took off her helmet. "You're a woman!" Zelda screamed. "Yeah, you thought I was a man," Samus said. "I mean when you have that armor on, then it kind of seems that way," Mario said. "Don't worry, I get that a lot," Samus said. "So, should we awaken the others?" Zelda asked.

They all awakened the rest of their friends and explained everything that had happened with the metroids.

"So these metroids siphoned up all our energy and basically killed us?" Impa asked. "Yes," Samus responded. "But how come we're still here?" Peach asked. "I remember Meta Knight said something about those selected by The Continuance aren't able to die but get turned into trophies," Rosalina responded. "What exactly is The Continuance?" Samus asked. "An energy that spread across the entire universe and those who were selected obtained a symbol. So far all of us have obtained it," Mario explained. "And me," Samus said. "Wait, you got the symbol?" Yoshi asked. "Yeah. I'm not sure what it meant but the night before it happened, I had this dream saying to "the eight must unite." Not sure what it meant," Samus said.

Mario looked up in realization.

"I had the exact same dream," Mario said, "Same time too." "So did I," Yoshi said. "Yeah me too," Donkey Kong said. Link raised his hand stating that he also had the same dream. Kirby also jumped in the air in agreement. "But, why us?" Mario questioned.

"We literally don't know what you guys are talking about," Luigi interrupted. "Well, no matter, Samus, we desperately need help against the Subspace Army," Daisy said. "Subspace Army?" Samus questioned. "A group hell bent on taking over the entire universe. They already took our worlds so we're trying to gather an army based on those who were affected by The Continuance," Rosalina said. "And that would include me," Samus said. "Precisely," Mario said.

Samus got thinking for a while then she finally gave out her answer.

"Very well, I guess if it's for the faith of the universe, I will join you," Samus said. "Great. We still have a lot more work to do though," Geno said. "Right, where to go next," Mario said.

6: Splating Trouble

Landing in a Square of some sorts, Toad, Geno, Yoshi and Diddy Kong are sent to look for the fighters of a place called Inkopolis Square.

"So, are these kids, or squids?" Toad asked. "I think they're both," Geno responded. "Weird place. How do we know if there are fighters here?" Yoshi asked. "Hey!" an inkling yelled at them

A group of Inklings came running up to them.

"Yo dudes, nice threads," said an Inkling Boy. "Um, threads?" Geno questioned. "Yeah, like you outfits are like gnarly," said an Inkling Girl. "Uh, thanks?" Diddy Kong said confusedly.

The inklings were complimenting the group for their style and an Inkling must have overheard the compliments.

"Hey!" he yelled. "Oh no, it's Blue," an Inkling Boy said sarcastically. "Um, this is blue," Geno said as he was looking at his cape. "No, not the color blue, I mean Blue as in that boy walking toward us," an Inkling Girl explained, "Well, better leave him to you."

The group of Inklings left and the Inkling known as Blue came up to them.

"Hey you four! You don't take my fans like that!" he yelled. "I'm pretty sure they weren't your fans to begin with," Yoshi. "Oh, so now you go ahead and tell me the truth!" Blue yelled. "Are you even listening to yourself?" Geno questioned. Blue ignored Geno's comment and said, "Turf War at Noon. Be there!" "Um, what was that?" Diddy Kong asked. "Pst, hey you," an Inkling whispered to them.

The group turned around to find that an Orange Inkling was whispering to them from a table.

"I think we go talk to her," Toad said. "I think you're right," Geno agreed.

The group went toward the Orange Inkling Girl.

"Uh hi, were you talking to us?" Geno asked. "Yeah, the name's Orange. I'm here to help," she responded. "Okay, Orange, so why do we need help?" Yoshi asked. "Well you see, you were just challenged to a Turf War," Orange responded. "And that is?" Diddy Kong asked. "It's a game. Whoever inks the most territory wins," Orange responded, "And so I need you to beat Blue." "Why?" Geno asked. "Because if wins, he'll be annoying for the next 2 years, and I won't be able to deal with that," Orange responded.

"And what do we get in return?" Toad asked. "Infer," Orange responded. "What's infer?" Geno questioned. "Ugh, this is going to be a long day," Orange whispered, "It stands for information. Anything you want to know, I'll tell you, and I know everything about Inkopolis here. I just need you to beat Blue."

The group agreed and they all walked to Ammo Knights to get weapons.

"Huh," Geno said as he looked at the sewer nearby. "What's the matter," Toad said. "Thought I heard something," Geno said.

They made it to Ammo Knights where they each received a free weapon from Sheldon.

Geno got the… Oh wait he did not want a weapon, he will just use his arm and fill it with ink. Besides that point, Toad got the Classic Splattershot, Yoshi got the Splat Roller, and finally, Diddy Kong wanted the slosher.

"Alright, each of you has a weapon. Let's see you handle these dummies," Orange said.

Geno hit all his targets, while the others were struggling.

"No, no, no," Orange said, "Here, I'll take you each one at a time, well Geno, you can watch since you're already very good at this."

Orange decided to help Toad first.

"So what you do with this is aim, and fire," Orange said. "Okay, like this," Toad said as he shot. He still misses. "Okay, just pretend the target is something you hate," Orange said. Toad focused and in his perspective, he saw a giant bird. He shot the splattershot and hit the target.

"Perfect, now Yoshi, your turn," Orange said.

"So what you do with the roller is lift it, then drop it," Orange said. "Okay, like this," Yoshi said as he lifted the roller but when he dropped he let it go and ricocheted everywhere.

"No!" Orange yelled as she grabbed the Roller in mid-air. "Like this," she said as she did it the correct way.

"Ohhhh," Yoshi said. Yoshi did it the second time and he did it. "Okay, now move forward," Orange said. Yoshi moved forward, leaving orange ink on the floor.

"I could intervene, tell them what's to come, but it's best to leave their faith to themselves, I cannot risk the safety of the entire Omniverse, either way, they will prevail," I said. "Uh, did anyone hear that?" Geno questioned. "Hear what?" Toad asked. "Probably nothing," Geno responded.

"Okay, Diddy, now the slosher…" Orange said but she was interrupted. "Oh, let me guess, the weapon ever," Diddy Kong said. "Actually it's too simple, just dump it," Orange said. "What?" Diddy questioned as he threw paint from the slosher. "See, like that," Orange said. "Are you kidding me!" Diddy Kong exclaimed.

Orange lined them up for a pep talk.

"Alright, so we've been practicing for at least 20 minutes and I don't think you're ready but we're running out of time so good luck," she said.

The team went to the lobby where they found that blue was by himself.

"Hah, didn't think you were actually going to come," Blue said. "Uh, where is your team?" Geno asked. "What are you talking about? I have a team. Me, Myself, and I," Blue responded. "Ooo Okaaaaay," Geno said.

"Meow, meow, the name's Judd, I'll be your judge. Whoever covers the floor the most wins Meow, Meow," Judd said.

Moray Towers is where our heroes will be facing against Blue.

In a mere matter of minutes, our heroes won by a long shot, well actually Blue barely tried anyway.

"So, that's it I suppose," Geno said. "I think so," Yoshi said. "You guys cheated!" Blue screamed. "Dude, you only covered 1% of your territory," Toad said. "There you go again! Telling me the truth!" Blue screamed. "Seriously, are you deaf or something," Diddy Kong said. "Oh knock it off Blue," Orange said as she came up to them. "Sis, what are you doing here!" Blue complained. "Sis?" Toad questioned. "Yeah, we're twins," Orange responded.

"So let me guess this straight. You only helped us so we can beat your brother at this game," Geno said. "Booyah, got it right man," Orange said. "You taught these guys to beat me! I mean, cheat against me!" Blue screamed. "Calm down Blue, you need a lost time from time to time," Orange said.

"So can you tell us what we want to know?' Geno asked. "Oh yeah, what do you want?" Orange asked.

"By any chance is there anybody with this symbol?" Toad asked as he took out a picture.

"Booyah!" Orange yelled. "Is that a yes or a no?" Geno asked. "That is a yes. That would be me, Blue," Orange responded. "Well, do you want to come travel to space with us," Diddy Kong said. "Booyah!" Orange screamed again. "Hold on!" yelled someone else.

Suddenly 2 squids and 1 octoling came launching right beside them.

"Uh, yes?" Geno asked.

The cephalopods transformed into kids who were wearing some kind of special gear.

"What do you think you're doing?" the yellow squid said. "Um, recruiting people," Toad said. "Well what it looks like here are aliens," said the pink octopus. "I guess we could be considered aliens," Yoshi said. "Technically, yes," Geno said.

The inkling that looked more sophisticated came up to them to take a closer look.

"What's your deal here?" she said. "Uh, recruiting people so we can win a war," Geno responded. "Wait? You never said anything about a war," Blue said. "Oh yeah, it's a war for the universe. Villains want to take over the entire universe so we have to stop them," Diddy Kong explained. "Likely story," the Inkling said suspiciously.

"Geno the Doll!" screamed something outside the lobby. "Action-Figure," Geno said as he grinded his teeth. "Let's go see what it is," Orange said as she ran outside. "Hey, girl! Get back here!" the yellow inkling yelled as she ran after her.

The entire group ran outside to find that Petey Piranha was waiting for them.

"Oh, it's the giant plant thing. Still, I wonder who called me," Geno said. "I am the one who called you," Petey Piranha said.

The entire group looked shocked.

"What?" Petey asked. "It's just, you're a talking plant," Blue said. "Well that's rude young squid kid," Petey responded, "Anyway, Geno the Doll!" "Action, Figure!" Geno yelled. "Well anyway, Geno, I need your help," Petey said. Geno put down his blaster and asked, "Wait, what?"

Petey responded, "You see, I need your help. The Subspace Army is not what I signed up for." "Then why are you still a part of it?" Toad asked. "They have my son and are forcing me to do their bidding," Petey responded. "And you want our help, why?" Geno asked. "Because they put this thing on me," Petey said.

Petey showed them a device that was attached to him.

"And that does?" Geno questioned. "It's a Subspace disabler. If the villains activate it, then it will automatically turn me into a spirit," Petey responded. "A spirit?" Orange questioned. "Yeah, those orb thingies," Petey said.

Geno thought back to the library that was filled with the spirits of all the lumas and metroids.

"So that's why I need your help. They need my son because he is a fighter, and I need you to take him off world, along with all of you," Petey said. "Wait, how do we know we should trust you?" Geno questioned. "Here, I give you this," Petey said as he handed a device to Geno.

"What's this?" Geno asked. "It's coordinates for a location that can tell you everything about The Continuance," Petey responded, "I don't have much time. The villains don't know where I am. You'll find us in Octo Valley. My son will be there. You all are my final hope," Petey said as he walked away.

"Are you sure we can trust him?" Toad asked. "He seemed pretty scared to tell us. I'm still surprised he can talk," Geno responded. "I think he is telling the truth," Yoshi said. "Either way, we can't let an innocent kid… plant get hurt," Geno said. "Alright, let's go to this Octo Valley," Yoshi said.

"Hold on," said the yellow-green Inkling.

The group turned around to see that the four inklings and octolings were walking towards them.

"We want to help," the yellow inkling said. "Why?" Geno questioned. "Well, you guys don't know your way around Octo Valley. Also we want to see if you're all telling the truth," the Octoling said. "Okay, fair point," Geno said, "So what do we call you three?"

"Call me Agent 3 and these are my companions, Agents 4 and 8," she responded. "Okay Agent 3, let's go save a plant," Geno said.

7: Saving Piranha Plant

Agents 3, 4 and 8 have agreed to help our heroes on their rescue of Petey Piranha's son, Piranha Plant, not really an original name but I created them. Anyway I'm getting off topic. Their first objective is to find the way into Octo Valley.

"Seriously, nobody hears that. I feel like someone has been narrating us or something," Geno said. "Not sure what you're talking about but here we are. The entrance to Octo Valley," Agent 3 said as she pointed to the sewers below. "Um, you do realize this is a sewer," Toad said. "Yup," Agent 3 said as she turned into a squid and jumped into the sewer/

"Just do the same thing," Agent 4 said as she did the same. "It's so simple that an 8 year old can do it," Agent 8 said as she jumped below. "Booyah!" Blue said as he jumped in. "Better go after him," Orange said.

"Um, we can't turn into squid and octopuses," Geno said, "So Diddy can you open this?" "Oh alright," Diddy said as he plied the sewer open. They all jumped down the slippery, dark tunnel.

"What took you guys so long?" Agent 3 said as she was prepping her Hero's Splattershot. "As I said before, we're not Inklings or Octolings," Geno responded. "Whoops, probably should've thought of that," Agent 4 said.

"So, what exactly is Octo Valley?" Yoshi asked. "Where the Octarian Army were doing their plots," Agent 3 responded. "Octarian Army?" Geno questioned. "An Army full of Octolings led by DJ Octavio," Agent 4 said. "Octolings?" Diddy questioned as he looked at Agent 8. "Oh calm down, that was about three years ago. We've had peace with the Inklings of Inkopolis since," Agent 8 explained. "Oh, okay," Diddy Kong said.

The group walked forward Octo Valley looking around the place for the villains. Although high above the cliff, little did they know that they were being watched.

"Hm, it seems those goody two shoes have survived Petey's attack. Honestly didn't expect that much of a failure from that plant," Kamek said. "So, what should we do?" Wario asked. "Send the Primids out. They've been dying for some action, while we prepare for their arrival," Kamek explained. "Very well," Wario said.

Back with our heroes, they weren't expecting the incoming attack.

"So you're saying that you stopped this robot who was Sanitizing Inklings and Octolings," Geno said. "Yeah, that was a difficult battle, wasn't it Agent 3," Agent 8 said. "That's the least of saying it," Agent 3 said. "Darn, wish I was there," Agent 4 said in a jealous tone. "But what exactly is Sanitizing?" Geno asked.

At that moment, the group was suddenly surrounded by Subspace particles. Then shortly they all grew in many Primids.

"Looks like we'll have to fight our way in," Geno said. "Oh, they don't look that evil, maybe we could talk to them," Blue said, "Hey, whatever you guys are, we want to…"

Before Blue could finish his sentence, he was punched in the face by a Primid.

"Oh, never mind that," Blue said as he began to shoot the enemies with his splattershot. "Nice moves kid," Agent 4 complemented. She also began shooting the Primids.

Geno tried to shoot a giant laser but his hand cannon shorted out.

"What's wrong with this thing?" Geno questioned as he took a look inside his blaster but then his face was completely covered by ink. "Uh Geno, you alright?" Agent 8 asked. "Yeah, I'm an action figure so paint in the eyes won't hurt," Geno responded. "Probably shouldn't have put ink in your cannon there," Diddy Kong said as he was shooting Primids with his Peanut Pop-Gun. "Then how come their ink can work!?" Geno complained. "Who knows. Maybe cause you're not a cephalopod," Orange said as she blasted a Primid back. "Darn," Geno said.

Yoshi ate a ton of Primids which then became eggs.

"Uh, did that come out of your butt, in seconds?" Agent 3 questioned. Yoshi threw an egg and many Primids exploded. "Right, don't ask questions," Agent 3 said with her eyes wide open. She also threw a splat bomb at the Primids.

In a matter of minutes, the Primids were completely destroyed and the particles returned to where they came from.

"Hm, maybe if we follow them, then maybe we can find the villains," Toad said. "Seems like our best bet," Geno said as he attempted to take some ink from his arm cannon.

The group followed the Subspace Particles and found a small camp, with no sign of anyone. The Subspace Particles returned inside a container that seemed like a healing chamber made for the Particles.

"Strange place," Agent 3 said, "Never seen it before." "Could it be possible that the plant tricked us?" Agent 4 asked. "Hm, it's a possibility. Wait, hold on," Geno said as he walked towards something.

He looked through a bush and found a potted Piranha Plant in a cage. It waved at them.

"Well, it seems Petey might've been telling the truth," Geno said. "That's very surprising," Yoshi said. "Why indeed it is," Kamek said while he was behind the group. "I know, right… KAMEK!" Toad screamed.

The entire group turned around and found that Kamek, Wario and Waluigi were standing right behind them with their menacing grins.

"Well it seems that plant betrayed us," Wario said. "Yeah and what are you going to do about it," Geno said. "We'll simply do this," Waluigi said as he grabbed a device and was about to press a button. "Oh no you don't," Orange said as she blasted a bit of ink on Waluigi's face.

"AH, MY EYES!" Waluigi screamed as he tossed the remote into the air. "You idiot!" Kamek yelled as he hit Waluigi on the head.

Agent 3 super jumped into the and grabbed the remote with her tentacle.

"Hah, no matter, we'll simply get it back," Kamek said as he flew on his broom above Wario and Waluigi.

"Oh magic wand thingy, make these imbeciles stronger," Kamek chanted as magic particles dropped on Wario and Waluigi.

Suddenly, they grew twice as big than they originally were.

"Oh please, just cause you're bigger doesn't mean you can stop us," Geno said as he tried to shoot a laser shot but his cannon was still blocked with ink, "Oh come on!"

Wario and Waluigi charged at them. Agents 3, 4, and 8 were shooting Ink at them but they were unfazed by it. Orange and Blue joined them shortly after but it was still doing nothing.

"Darn, how powerful are they?!" Agent 8 exclaimed. "I'll show you," Wario said as he punched Agent 8 in the guts, flinging and making her crash into Piranha Plant's cage. "Agent 8!" Agent 4 screamed as she took out a roller and began pushing Waluigi away.. "Mehehehe, they're too powerful for you," Kamek said. "Not if I have anything to say about it," Petey Piranha said as he hit Wario and Waluigi, sending them tumbling toward the ground.

The giant plant had joined our heroes.

"Why if it isn't the traitorous plan," Kamek said, "You could've had anything you wanted. Why join them?" "All I want is peace. A loving world where me and my son could live. You just dragged me into another war," Petey responded. "Oh shut up!" Kamek yelled, "You are all the same!" "Guys, get my son and get out of here," Petey said. "Right," Geno said in agreement.

The group went to the cage and tried to unlock it. Petey in the meanwhile was blocking the villains from stopping.

"Fools! The only way to open the cage is to press the button!" Waluigi yelled. Kamek hit him on the head again. "DON'T TELL THEM HOW TO OPEN THE CAGE YOU IMBECILE!" Kamek screamed.

"The only way is to press the button," Agent 3 said as she looked at the remote. "But if we press the button, then Petey will be turned into a spirit," Toad said. "Do it," Petey said. "Are you sure? There's likely no return from that faith," Geno said. "I'll be turned into a spirit anyway. Just take care of Piranha Plant for me," Petey said as tears came out of his petals, not of sadness for his faith, but out of love.

Agent 3 hesitated but she did press the button. Petey glowed a bright golden light and was turned into a spirit, while Piranha Plant's cage opened.

The inklings and octoling grabbed all of our heroes and super jumped out of the villains' camp toward Inkopolis.

Our heroes landed in Inkopolis near the Odyssey.

"I can't believe he actually sacrificed himself. I've always thought he was just Bowser's servant," Toad said. Our heroes had finally realized that Petey Piranha was merely a loving father protecting his son. "Okay, nobody seriously hears that!" Geno screamed.

Hm, I find it strange how he is able to sense my presence. I should probably keep my distance from him for a while.

"So, Orange, Blue, and Agents 3, 4, 8, you guys want to help out in our battle?" Toad asked. "Yeah, we'll need all the help we can get," Geno said as he finally got all the ink out of his cannon. "You said it's to save the universe, right?" Agent 3 asked. "Precisely," Yoshi responded. "Well, it seems like our best option for survival then," Agent 4 said. "Very well then, but in one condition," Agent 3 said. "What?" Geno asked. "There better not be any swimming," Agent 8 said.

Geno, Yoshi, Toad and Diddy Kong were laughing their butts off.

"Wait, you're serious?" Geno asked. "Yeah, we'll die if we swim in water," Orange said. "Oh, well, alright then," Geno said.

8: Poke-Recruits

The Gunship had made its arrival in a new world. To humans, this is the World of Pokemon, filled with many creatures, both big and small, and living in every biome known to man. In oceans, deserts, and land, everywhere you look you could find them, well at least before The Continuance happened.

"Any clue to who we're supposed to find here?" Dixie asked. "No idea, this place seems very deserted," Impa responded. "Hm, perhaps if…" Samus said but didn't finish when something jumped on her.

"Uh, what is that?" Dixie asked.

On Samus' shoulder, a yellow rat was cuddling Samus.

"Pika, Pika," it said. "Okay, it can talk," Impa said. "Well maybe you all should get it off me then ask questions," Samus said. "Right," Impa agreed.

Impa grabbed the rat but soundly the rat was getting angry.

"Pika!" it said angrily. "Oh calm down, I'm sure it will be…" Impa said but before she finished she was getting shocked with electricity. "AHHH!" she screamed.

Then suddenly the entire group was getting electrocuted

The rat stopped and cuddled once more with Samus.

"Okay, maybe let's not take it off," Samus said as her eyes were wide open and her skin was covered in smoke.

"Pika, Pika, Pikachu," the creature said in comfort. "Hm, it seems like it can only say Pikachu," Samus said, "Perhaps it's what it's called." "Pika, Pika," it nodded. "Well Pikachu, can you please get off our friend?" Dixie Kong asked. "Oh, like that's ever going to work," Impa said.

Pikachu woke up and got off Samus.

"Oh, everyone just loves proving me wrong," Impa said.

Pikachu ran up and stood in front of the group.

"Pika, Pika, Pikachu, Pika," it said as if it was asking something. "Um, does anyone know what it said? Bandana Waddle-Dee?" Dixie Kong asked. Bandana Waddle-Dee shook his head. "Maybe it wants us to follow it," Impa suggested. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu said as it nodded its heat.

Pikachu ran toward the forest, then stopped as it waited for the group.

"Should we?" Impa asked. "Hm, maybe it's leading us to people or something," Samus responded as it followed Pikachu.

The group followed the Pikachu into the forest for a while. Then they finally made it to a spot in the forest where sunlight was shining through. Beneath the light was another Pokemon, smaller and it looked like a baby version of Pikachu.

"Uh, so is this like your home or…?" Dixie Kong questioned. "Pika, Pikachu, Pika," Pikachu said in a worried expression. "Uh, so you want us to eat this mouse thingy?" Impa questioned.

Impa was suddenly shocked by a huge bolt of lightning from Pikachu.

"Okay, Okay, we won't eat the mouse thingy!" Impa yelled. "Hm, it looks sick," Dixie Kong said. "Pika," Pikachu said in amusement. "So you want us to heal this mouse thingy?" Impa asked. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu said as it nodded. "Um, how do we do that?" Samus asked.

At that moment, Bandana Waddle-Dee was trying to reach for a berry from a steep looking tree. Pikachu immediately ran up Bandana Waddle-Dee's spear and grabbed the berry and gave it to the mouse thingy. Wait, why did I call it? I know exactly what it is.

"Pi, Pichu," the mouse said as it woke up. "Uh, Pichu. That's what it's called," Dixie Kong said. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu nodded. "Pichu! Pichu!" Pichu yelled in gratitude.

Samus knelt down and began drawing on the dirt.

"So, now that we helped you, we need to ask something of you," Samus said. "Pika?" Pikachu questioned. "Do you by any chance know of any beings here with this symbol?" Samus asked.

Samus finished drawing the symbol and Pikachu and Pichu began whispering to each other.

"Pika, Pika," Pikachu nodded. "Okay, can you lead us to where they are?" Samus asked. Pikachu and Pichu nodded and ran through some bushes.

"I guess we follow them," Impa said. "Yup," Dixie Kong said as she ran behind them.

Through the bushes they found an oasis full of Pokemon. Pikachu and Pichu ran to a shed nearby.

"So, we go in there?" Impa asked. "Looks like it," Samus said as she went into the shed.

Inside the shed, they found a creature that resembled your egyptian god Anubis, but of course he wasn't actually Anubis.

"Uh, so who do we talk to?" Impa questioned. "To me," said an echo through the room. "Uh, who?" Dixie Kong questioned. "The creature in front of you," said the voice.

The blue creature stood up and began speaking but was not moving its mouth.

"I am the Pokemon known as Lucario," it said. "Uh, how are you talking without moving your mouth?" Dixie Kong asked. "Dixie, that's rude," Impa said, "But seriously, how are you talking?" "My kind has been able to use Aura to communicate to beings, although it was never this powerful until I received a symbol," Lucario explained. "That makes a total amount of sense," Dixie Kong said optimistically.

"So, this Pikachu and Pichu said you helped them out. But my question is why are you here?" Lucario asked. "You see, there's a war occurring right now and we need help," Samus said. "A war. By who?" Lucario asked. "The Subspace Army. A group of villains that come from multiple worlds to take over the entire universe," Dixie Kong said. "And you need our help," Lucario said.

"Precisely," Impa said. "And what would happen if we don't join?" Lucario asked. "Then the entire universe would be devoured by darkness and only the Subspace Army will remain," Samus said, "We're doing this for every world, every home. If we don't, how could we call this universe our home."

Samus spoke the truth. If no single being that lived in this universe joined this war and battled for their universe, do they truly deserve to live in this universe as one of its people.

"Your words. I feel their pressure. I'll see what I can do, but for certain I will join you," Lucario said. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu said in agreement. "Pichu, Pichu," Pichu also said in agreement. "These two will also join," Lucario said, "I recommend waiting in your ship while I try to convince the others."

The group nodded and left for their ship.

"So, how are we going to convince the others?" Pikachu asked.

Oh, you must be wondering how you were able to hear it. Well you see, right now we are listening through the ears of the Pokemon. Let's hope that Lucario is able to convince the other Pokemon.

"I'm not sure. It will be difficult but I'm sure we'll be able to," Lucario responded, "Meanwhile you two, gather the others with the symbol. We'll be having a meeting." "Right," Pichu said in agreement.

In a matter of minutes, Pikachu and Pichu had gathered seven other Pokemon. To be precise, there was a Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Greninja, Jiggypuff and an Incineroar.

"So tell us why we're here?" Charizard asked. "Yeah, I was having a nice swim until Pikachu here electrocuted the lake," Squirtle said. "You see we have a problem," Lucario said. "Yeah, that the lake is filled with electricity," Squirtle said. "Shut up about the lake and listen," Greninja said. "Well I could sing to make it better," Jigglypuff suggested.

"NO!" Everyone else screamed. "Alright, alright," Jigglypuff said.

Lucario explained the entire situation to the other Pokemon.

"So you're saying that these humans from off-world want us to fight in a war," Incineroar said. "Precisely," Lucario responded. "And you're saying this Subspace Army is trying to take over the entire universe?" Greninja asked. "Yes," Lucario responded. "Well if they can fix the lake," Squirtle started. "SHUT UP ABOUT THE LAKE!" Everyone else screamed.

"So they'll just be using us to fight," Charizard said. "I doubt they'll be using us for evil. Their aura was different. They spoke true to themselves. They are heroes," Lucario said. "It's still fighting no matter what side we're on," Charizard said. "We know your history with humans, Charizard, and I don't like fighting as much as you do, but can you really just ignore the fact that the entire universe is in danger," Pichu said.

"Do you really believe they can save us?" Charizard asked. "I know they can," Lucario responded. "Fine, I suppose I'll join them," Charizard said.

Lucario nodded in agreement and the rest of Pokemon also decided to join in the war.

The Pokemon walked past the forest to meet with the rest of the group near the Gunship. We will from now on not be listening by the ears of the Pokemon.

"Well this is quite the group here," Impa said. "We are all willing to help win this war against the Subspace Army," Lucario said with his aura. "Well that's good news," Dixie Kong said. "Hold on," Samus said as her wrist device started beeping. "What's going on?" Impa asked. "No," Samus said quietly.

Suddenly a giant battleship covered the entire sky. Multiple ships from the battleship flew out and began blasting multiple parts of the world.

"What's going on!?" Lucario exclaimed. "The Subspace Army," Impa responded as she was in shock.

"So, we meet once more, my old friends," said a being as it was floating down from the battleship. "Mewtwo," Lucario said. "I see you've teamed up with my enemies. No matter. Once I take all of your trophies, we will be reunited," Mewtwo said.

Mewtwo threw some shadow orbs at the group but luckily Charizard shot some fireballs from his mouth to stop the orbs from hitting the group.

"I still see you have your aim. I am a bit more sophisticated, but I have no choice," Mewtwo said as he used his psychic powers to grab a blaster.

"Well, see you all very soon," Mewtwo said as he pressed a button on the blaster. The blaster made some weird noises and began charging a bright orange light.

"Stand on your guard," Lucario said.

The blaster shot an orange illuminated arrow and it hit Ivysaur. Ivysaur was sent flying in the air as it lighted up and dropped to the floor as a trophy.

"Ivysaur!" Lucario yelled, "What have you done!?" "What will happen to all of you," Mewtwo responded as he began charging the blaster.

It shot another blast and this time it hit Jigglypuff and did the exact same thing.

"Quickly! Touch the bases!" Impa yelled. "Oh no you don't!" Mewtwo yelled as it floated both trophies into the Subspace Army's battleship.

` "Now, who is next," Mewtwo said as it began charging the blaster once more.

"I gotta stop this," Dixie Kong said as she began to fly toward Mewtwo to stop it. "Dixie, no!" Impa yelled but it was too late.

Dixie Kong was now flying circles around Mewtwo, taking its attention away from the others.

"We have to go! Now!" Samus yelled as she closed the ramp to the Gunship.

The Gunship flew into the air and left the planet. Meanwhile Dixie was still distracting Mewtwo.

"ENOUGH!" Mewtwo yelled as it grabbed Dixie Kong by the neck. "You will never win," Dixie Kong said. Mewtwo did not say anything as it blasted Dixie Kong with the blaster.

"The Subspace Army will be victorious," Mewtwo said.

It looked up into the air as the planet then was consumed by the Subspace Emissary.

9: Star Fox Investigates

For now, we leave our heroes, and search another team of heroes known as Star Fox. They're currently in their ship of operations known as The Great Fox.

Within the control system of the ship, Fox Mccloud was investigating the anomaly of the symbol along with his teammates.

"Nothing yet?" Fox asked. "For the millionth time Fox, no," Falco responded. "Peppy, you're old, you must know something?" Fox asked. "Fox, I'm not that old," Peppy responded, "Also I have never seen that symbol in my entire life."

"Hold on, I may have something," Slippy said. "What is it Slippy?" Fox asked. "Well the computers here have found a large energy source coming from this location. It's been unheard of before," Slippy explained.

Slippy gave Fox the tablet showing off a large energy source coming from the middle of deep space.

"You sure that ain't Venom?" Peppy asked. "No, this place is uncharted territory," Fox responded. "Then how do we know if it's a safe place to go?" Peppy asked. "We don't but it's likely our best bet," Fox said as he put the coordinates on the computer.

The computer had stated that the Great Fox would arrive in these coordinates soon.

"So Fox, I've heard that you've been having nightmares," Falco said. "How did you know that?" Fox questioned. Falco responded "Because you make too much noise in the middle of the night." "Oh, sorry about that," Fox said. "So, want to tell me about it?" Falco asked.

Fox responded, "Okay. You see I've had this dream about a dark place. It seems to be outside of space or something." "Yes, and," Falco said. "In the night I heard these whispers. They all say different things and definitely different voices. But there is always one sentence that always gets repeated. "Unite the eight," Fox explained, "Then suddenly everything gets turned to black by giant hands."

The computer started beeping, indicating that the Great Fox was near the location.

"Looks like we're arriving at our location so Star Fox, be prepared and put on your mean faces," Fox said.

Suddenly a beep from Slippy's video game system was beeping.

"Slippy put away the system before I take it," Fox said. Slippy gave out a raspberry. "Whoa!" Everyone said in surprise. "Language Slippy," Falco said. "You know if you don't pipe up, I will take that game and smash it into pieces!" Peppy yelled.

The Great Fox arrived into deep space and they found that the Comet Observatory was sending out a large energy signature.

"Is that an Observatory?" Falco questioned. "Seems like it," Fox responded.

The Great Fox landed in the deck of The Observatory, which was empty.

"Hm. Is this supposed to be this empty?" Falco asked. "Not sure," Peppy responded. "Alright Star Fox, here's the plan. We separate and search the place," Fox suggested.

The others agreed and searched the place.

Fox walked around for a bit but there was no sign of anyone. He then heard someone talking.

"So this pager he gave me. How does it work?" questioned the voice.

Fox creped up the corner and got his blaster ready.

"Alright, Fox McCloud of Star Fox here. Put your hands up," Fox said.

It turned out that the voice was none other than Mario's who had his hands up.

"Alright tell me your deal here," Fox said. "Um, can you please put down the gun?" Mario asked. "Not until you answer my questions," Fox responded. "Oh alright. What are your questions?" Mario asked. "Really," Fox said as he put down his blaster, "You're not going to try to kill me," Fox said. "I mean you don't seem like a bad guy," Mario said.

"Okay?" Fox questioned. "So, what do you want to know?" Mario asked. "Do you know what this symbol is and why it appeared on me and my teammates?" Fox asked as he put out a holographic projection of the symbol. "Hm, well it seems you have been chosen by The Continuance," Mario responded. "Chosen by The Continuance?" Fox questioned, "This ain't a cult. Right?" "As far as I know, no," Mario responded.

"So this Continuance, what does it do?" Fox asked. "It turns us into trophies when we deal with something that would normally kill us," Mario responded. "So, why exactly is there an Observatory in the middle of space?" Fox asked. "Well… I actually don't know. All I know is that we're gathering an army to fight the Subspace Army," Mario responded.

"Subspace Army?" Fox questioned. "A group that wants to take over the entire universe. We're assembling our own army from every world to make sure that the villains don't succeed." Mario explained. "So, you need help and you are searching for people with that symbol," Fox said. "Yes. So far we don't have the numbers to go against the Subspace Army," Mario explained.

"By the way. Could this be why I've had these dreams," Fox said. "Dreams?" Mario asked. "Yeah, something about "unite the eight" and all that," Fox explained. "You've had those dreams too," Mario said. "Yeah, why?" Fox asked. "Those are the exact dreams I've been having," Mario responded.

Mario and Fox looked at the sky and found that the stars seemed like they aligned in the form of the symbol.

"So, mind if me and my team join?" Fox asked. "The more, the merrier," Mario responded.

Mario and Fox walked towards the deck but before they made it, they heard large noises being made in the library.

"Um, what is going on in there?" Mario asked. "Oh no," Fox said.

They both ran inside where they saw that a cloud of dust had formed and fighting was taking place.

"EVERYONE STOP!" Mario yelled and suddenly the cloud cleared out and the fighting stopped.

"Oh Fox," Falco said as he was holding Kirby, "You came to help us." "Yeah Fox, come on and we'll beat these losers," Slippy said as he was being held by Link. Fox sighed. "Star Fox, stand down," Fox said. "Wait, what?" Falco questioned.

Star Fox stopped fighting and let go of everyone. Fox explained everything that Mario had told him.

"So you signed us up for this war?" Falco asked. "Yes, but I did say it's for the entire universe. Also don't you think it's likely that Wolf is working with this Subspace Army," Fox responded. "Fair point," Falco said. "So, they want us to help recruit more people with this symbol from across the universe," Peppy said, "And fight the Subspace Army." "Yes, Peppy," Fox said. "Alright, I'm in. I may be ol… slightly above your age but I can give a pretty good kick," Peppy said. "Alright, I suppose if the old geezer is in this then I will be in too," Falco said. Slippy agreed in a nod as he kept on playing his game.

At that moment, The Odyssey and The Gunship have returned from their mission.

"Well, looks like their back," Mario said as he walked toward the deck. "Better go check it out," Fox said as he followed.

The entire group arrived on the deck where The Odyssey was the first to open.

"Well, hello there," Mario said before he was blasted by ink. "BOOYAH! That's ten points Orange!" Blue yelled as he ran past Mario. "BLUE! COME BACK HERE NOW!" Orange yelled as she chased Blue. "Kids," Agent 3 scoffed. "Definitely," Agent 4 said. "Sorry about them," Agent 8 said as the three of them walked past the group.

Mario wiped the ink off his face and asked, "What… was… that?" "Those were squids, or kids," Geno said as he walked out of The Odyssey. "So those are the new recruits?" Mario asked. "Unfortunately. By the way they completely inked The Odyssey so you guys are cleaning this up," Toad said. "Okay then," Mario said.

The Gunship opened its hatch and a bunch of creatures walked out.

"And I take it these are the other new recruits," Fox said. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu said. "Um, do they talk?" Mario questioned. "Sorry, but us Pokemon have our own way of talking," Lucario said. "Then how come we can understand you without you moving your mouth?" Luigi asked. "Aura," Lucario responded as it walked past them. "Uh, what?" Luigi questioned.

Finally Samus, Impa and Bandana Waddle-Dee walked out of the Gunship.

"Uh, where's Dixie?" Donkey Kong asked. "We're sorry. She sacrificed herself to let us escape," Impa said. "That's Dixie for you. So, what's next?" Donkey Kong asked but it was obvious he was grief stricken.

Mario went inside the Odyssey to see what damage had been done but then he noticed something hopping out.

"What is that?" Mario asked.

Jumping from its pot, Piranha Plant came out with a smile.

"Mamamia!" Mario yelled as he began to charge fire from his hand. "Hold on! Hold on!" Geno yelled as he ran up to him. "But that's a Piranha Plant!" Mario yelled. "Yes, but it's not evil," Geno said. "Wait, what?" Mario questioned as he put his hands down.

Geno explained everything that had happened in Octo Valley.

"So this is Petey Piranha's son? And Petey was forced to be a part of the Subspace Army after they attacked the Mushroom Kingdom?" Mario questioned. "Yeah and we kinda promised to take care of his son and let him be a part of this army," Geno said. "I'm not sure that's a good idea but I'll leave it to your judgment," Mario said. "And by the way, Petey gave me this," Geno said as gave Mario a device. "What's this?" Mario asked. "Coordinates for some planet. He said we'll learn more about The Continuance there," Geno responded as he took Piranha Plant toward the library.

"So I take it, we'll start the mission then," Falco said. "Looks like it. These coordinates might be useful to go right now," Mario said.

10: R.O.B: Ancient and Alone

Our eight heroes who have all had the same dream decided to go together on the mission to the location that Petey Piranha had given them. On the Great Fox, the group was barely going out of fast travel.

"All of us have been having the same dream, right?" Mario asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. "I find it strange though," Samus said. "Why?" Fox asked. "Well besides the fact we've been having the same dream and most of us don't know who each other are," Samus responded. "Fair point," Fox said. "The dream said "unite the eight" and there happens to be eight of us that have the same dream. Is it possible we're the eight that the dream's been talking about," Samus said.

Suddenly the computer began beeping, indicating that the Great Fox is arriving near their destination.

"Okay, not sure what we'll find here but the map here says nothing is here so…" Fox said. "Are you sure this is not a trap Mario?" Donkey Kong asked. "Which is why only the eight of us came on this mission." Mario responded.

The Great Fox exited fast travel and the group found something surprising.

"Is that… a planet?" Fox questioned. "Seems like it," Yoshi responded. "But that should be impossible. The ship's sensor claims here that there is no planet here," Fox said. "Well, it's obviously here," Mario said. "Piikaa," Pikachu said in amazement.

Suddenly the ship began moving on its own toward the planet.

"Uh, are you moving it?" Samus asked. "No, no, no," Fox said as he tried pulling the steering back, "It's not budging."

Suddenly the ship's steering broke off the handle and the ship was still moving toward the planet at a faster pace,

"Can't you do something," Samus said. "THE STEERING IS BROKEN!" Fox yelled. "Hold on everyone!" Mario yelled as he held on to his seat.

Thinking that the Great Fox was going to crash, everyone closed their eyes, but it turned out that the Great Fox stopped in mid air.

"Uh, what just happened?" Fox questioned. "Are we dead?" Donkey Kong asked as he opened his eyes slowly.

Suddenly, the Great Fox entered a large facility that looked like a futuristic base, but it was ancient.

"What… What is this place?" Samus asked. "I don't know," Yoshi responded.

Fox opened the ramp and the eight of them walked out into the base.

"This place looks old, but modern," Fox said. "Let's explore a bit. Petey claimed we'll find information about The Continuance here," Mario said.

The group went towards the rusted hall. Most of the hallway was covered in a dark rust color yet you could see the metallic alloy of the walls.

"Do you guys hear that?" Mario asked. "You mean the sounds coming from the end of the hallway?" Fox asked. "Exactly. Let's find out what it is," Mario said.

They walked the rest of the hallway and you could hear the loud booms coming from their footsteps. Yet blocking their noise was the sound of a computer running.

They made it to the room at the end of the hallway and found a computer near the wall.

"Do you think it's safe?" Yoshi asked. "Not sure," Mario said as he reached the computer.

Suddenly, the computer activated and showed multiple files indicating specific code names.

"It's just files," Mario said in relief. "Hm, maybe they're important. Wait, what's that one?" Samus asked as she pointed to the file saying "fighters".

Mario pressed the file and suddenly the entire screen surrounded the group.

"These… These are all of us," Mario said. "How though?" Fox questioned. "It says here "Fighters Numbers-Awakened"," Samus said.

Samus pressed it and filtered out all of their friends who had been captured while it showed their entire army, the Subspace Army, and every fighter who was yet to join either side.

"That is a lot of them," Mario said.

Kirby turned around because he noticed something run down a hallway. He decided to chase after it.

"Kirby! Wait!" Yoshi yelled as he ran after him. "Here, I'll go too," Donkey Kong said as he ran after Yoshi. Link also decided to run after him

The four of them made it to a new room that was at least twice as big as the one with the computer.

"Literally, this place is like a maze," Donkey Kong said. "Kirby… didn't know… you could run that fast," Yoshi said as he was out of breath.

Link knelt down to see that a trail of ash had been left at the spot where Kirby stopped.

"Ash? Then someone else is here too," Yoshi said. "Better go back and tell the others," Donkey Kong said.

As the group turned around they were suddenly hit and knocked out by something. Meanwhile the others were still investigating the main computer.

"So many of them. And they're all across the universe," Mario said. "Hold on. There's another file here," Samus said as she pressed it.

When she opened the file there were security recordings.

"Recordings. Most of them look old," Fox said. "Wait, there's one here that is only from a couple months ago," Samus said.

The recording showed villains' Bowser and Ganondorf at the base. It seemed like they were talking to someone. Then suddenly they began attacking and the footage then became dark.

"What. That's it?" Fox asked. "Pika," Pikachu said in a disappointed tone. "There's no audio unfortunately. Looks like the villains were here before us. Likely how Petey knew about the place," Samus explained. "But who were they talking to?" Mario asked.

Suddenly they heard thuds behind them and they quickly turned around. On the floor was an unconscious Donkey Kong, Link and Yoshi while Kirby was being held by a mechanical being.

"What! Guys!" Mario yelled as his hands got fiery.

The robot threw Kirby at the group. Luckily Fox caught him in his hands. Samus began shooting plasma shots at the robot but they did nothing. Mario threw fire but it still did nothing. The robot began spinning quickly and coming towards the group.

"Pika… Chuuu!" Pikachu yelled as it shot a thunderbolt at the robot. Unfortunately, the thunderbolt only reflected off the robot and ricocheted off the walls and hit Fox in the tail.

"OW!" Fox screamed, "That's it!" Fox began shooting his blaster at the robot but they again ricocheted and hit his tail again. "OW!" Fox screamed once more.

The robot was very close to them when Link woke up and blocked the robot with The Master Sword. Donkey Kong then grabbed the robot and threw it at the wall. Yoshi then threw some sticky eggs to make sure it didn't move.

Then at that moment of teamwork, everyone's eyes turned into the symbol. The entire room turned into a dark shade.

"What is this?" Mario asked. "I don't know and is that the robot?" Donkey Kong asked.

The group saw the robot and saw that it had the symbol on it.

"You… You're the eight," it said.

Then the entire room turned back to normal and our heroes' eyes turned back to normal as well.

The robot freed itself from the sticky egg substance and floated toward the group.

"Stay back," Samus said as she pointed her cannon at the robot.

The robot inspected the group and even raised Pikachu's tail, who immediately shocked the entire group but it didn't affect the robot.

"You are all the legendary eight," It said. "Yeah, you said that," Mario said. "You have all obtained the dream, am I correct?" It asked. "How… How do you know about that?" Fox asked.

The robot immediately went to the computer as it scanned the group.

"Hey, what are you?..." Samus questioned as the computer began filtering out every fighter besides eight.

"You are all the legendary eight. All of your faiths have been intertwined. I am a Robotic Operating Buddy. I am assigned to assist the eight," it explained. "And what exactly is the eight?" Mario asked.

"Legends have it that the eight will be the saviors of the universe. Destined to get rid of the Subspace Emissary once and for all," Robotic Operating Buddy explained.

"Subspace Emissary? Like the Subspace Army?" Samus asked.

"The Subspace Army is merely a group trying to take over the entire universe using Subspace energy and The Continuance," it responded.

"And what exactly is The Continuance?" Fox asked.

"It was said that The Continuance existed since the beginning of time. Created by a being who longed for "peace" in the universe. Unfortunately, it believed that the path to peace was to take over the entire universe. It used this power to create Subspace and began to take over the entire universe," it said.

"Then what happened next?" Yoshi asked.

"Two beings who also existed at the beginning of time raised from deep space up to stop it. They succeeded but unfortunately while they tried to contain the power of The Continuance, they also gained corruption. It turned them against the universe and they decided they wanted to take over the universe. That is when we Robotic Operating Buddies were created by the people of the universe to stop these beings. Unfortunately in the end, only two of us survived. Fortunately we were able to contain the power inside an orb and there was peace once more," it explained.

"So the entire universe knew of each other's existence. How come we no longer know of each other?" Mario asked.

"That is when devastation happened. Each world was divided amongst each other and they all went to war. Eventually eight beings from eight worlds united and put a stop to the endless violence. In order to stop it for good, the eight hid the remaining Robotic Operating Buddies in this world along with the orb that contained the power of The Continuance. They said that one day, the universe will require us to help once more. In return they had the memories of The Continuance in every being wiped, including their own. While I and Robotic Operating Buddy-F stayed here, awaiting for the day we would return to the universe," it explained.

"And what does this have to do with the villains being here a couple months ago?" Mario asked.

Robotic Operating Buddy closed its eyes and pulled up the security footage from a couple months ago.

"Members of The Subspace Army arrived to steal the orb containing the power of The Continuance. I did not know how they could have possibly found out about the power but they arrived, we refused to give them any information and they attacked and took my companion, Famicom," it explained.

Mario took a deep breath and asked, "And your mission now is to help the eight?" "Precisely. So now I'm in your service," Robotic Operating Buddy responded. "So you'll come with us?" Samus asked. "Precisely. I can tell you everything you want to know about The Continuance," Robotic Operating Buddy responded. "I think I'll call you, R.O.B. Y'know, an acronym," Fox said. "R.O.B. Interesting," it said. "Alright R.O.B, let's save the universe," Mario said.

11: Meeting Captain Falcon

Peach, Zelda, Agent 8 and Pichu decided to go together on the Odyssey to a futuristic looking world.

"So Agent 8, mind if I ask a question?" Zelda asked. "Go ahead," Agent 8 responded. "So what exactly happened in your world so that you and your friends turn into fish?" Zelda asked. "Well first thing, we're not fish. Secondly, it might have something to do with evolution. Not sure since it happened a long time ago. You'll have to ask Captain Cuttlefish for that," Agent 8 responded. "Okay then," Zelda said.

The group left the Odyssey to find that the world was definitely cyber themed.

"Wow, this place looks much better than Inkopolis," Agent 8 said. "Wonder who we'll find here?" Peach questioned. "Pichu! Pichu!" Pichu said in excitement. "What is it boy? Did Timmy fall down the well?" Agent 8 joked. "Why would Timmy fall down the well? And who's Timmy?" Zelda asked. "It's a joke. Seen it in a lot of movies," Agent 8 responded. "What are movies?" Zelda asked. "Girl, you have a lot to learn," Agent 8 said.

"PICHU! PICHU!" Pichu yelled in excitement. "What is it Pichu?" Peach asked. "Pichu, Pichu," Pichu said as it pointed to the announcement on a holoboard.

"F-Zero race. Be the best of the best. You want to try it?" Zelda asked. "Pichuuu," Pichu said in agreement. "Seems like fun. I guess I could try it with you," Agent 8 said. "You sure?" Peach asked. "Yeah, it can't really be that hard," Agent 8 said.

Around an hour had passed and Agent 8 and Pichu had successfully entered the race.

"How did they enter the race?" Zelda asked. "I think the writer was too lazy to create a plot point here," Peach responded. "Wait, what?" Zelda questioned. "What?" Peach asked.

Zelda and Peach just looked at each other in a confused state.

"F-ZERO RACE NUMBER 720 BEGINS NOW! 3… 2… 1!"

The race began at mach 3 speed. Unfortunately Agent 8 did not know how to drive and the car was spinning around in circles at very fast speeds.

"How do I do this!?" Agent 8 yelled. "PICHU!" Pichu yelled as it jumped on the steering wheel and began driving perfectly. "How did you know how to drive!?" Agent 8 yelled.

But before Pichu could say anything, two other racers surrounded their car. They drove their cars near Agent 8's and Pichu's. Pichu, with a sinister grin, pulled into reverse and the two cars hit each other.

"Okay, remind me to never give you a car," Agent 8 said with a shocked expression.

Meanwhile, Peach and Zelda were watching the race from the holopad near the Odyssey.

"Looks like Pichu is somehow an excellent driver," Zelda said. "Yeah, it's also reckless apparently," Peach said. "Still wondering how the others are doing on their mission," Zelda said. "Yeah. Hopefully Mario is able to find out more on The Continuance," Peach said. "So that's your plan," said a mysterious voice behind them.

Zelda and Peach quickly turned around to find a figure, around the same shape as Fox, was standing behind them.

"You know, if I were you, I wouldn't be sticking my nose in this business," he said. "And what makes you say that?" Zelda asked.

The figure finally looked up and it was revealed that this person was likely part of The Subspace Army.

"The Subspace Army would not take kindly to this news. I doubt Star Fox will be able to save you now," he said.

He took out a blaster and started firing out purple plasma shots. Fortunately, Zelda was able to create a pillar of ice using the Sheikah Slate in time.

"What's this guy's deal? And why does he look like a wolf?" Zelda questioned. "Looks like he's a part of the Subspace Army. And he knows Fox too," Peach responded.

"There's nobody here to save you this time Princesses. Just give up," he said. "FALCON PUNCH!" someone yelled. "Wait! What!?" he exclaimed as he was punched into the air and was sent flying.

Peach and Zelda peeked behind the pillar of ice and saw their savior.

"You're welcome for being saved by the one, the only, CAPTAIN FALCON!" he yelled. "Uh, thank you," Peach said in a confused state. "Well come on, let's go to my condo in case more danger comes," Captain Falcon said. "Okay," Zelda agreed as both her and Peach followed Captain Falcon.

In the meantime, Agent 8 and Pichu had successfully won the F-Zero race and they won the trophy.

"Wow! That was fun! But try not to be so reckless next time," Agent 8 said. "Pichu?" Pichu said in a questioned expression. "Wait, is that…" Agent 8 said.

She looked out into the distance and saw Samus in a different suit. A darker suit.

"Samus? They must've finished their mission and they've come to see us," Agent 8 said as she walked toward "Samus". "Pichu?" Pichu questioned.

Agent 8 and Pichu arrived near "Samus'?" location and she just stood there.

"Hey Samus. New suit. Sweet. Anyway, where are the others?" Agent 8 asked.

She still stood there until she turned around and walked away in a single direction.

"We should follow her," Agent 8 said. Pichu nodded and they followed "Samus".

In the condo of Captain Falcon, Peach and Zelda were asking Captain Falcon something but he wasn't listening.

"So as I was asking," Peach said but she was interrupted. "And so I defeated Black Shadow and Blood Falcon and then I retired," Captain Falcon. "Uh, mister Falcon," Zelda said but was interrupted. "Hey! That's my father's name. Call me Captain Falcon," he said. "Okay Captain Falcon, mind if we ask something?" Zelda asked in an annoyed tone. "Fine, I'm finished with my story," Captain Falcon said.

"Okay, by any chance is there anyone here that has this symbol?" Peach asked as she took out a picture. "Oh, that would be me," Captain Falcon said. "Oh perfect, we need your help," Peach said. "My help?" Captain Falcon questioned.

Peach explained everything about the war that was taking place.

"So that's why we need your help," Peach said.

Captain Falcon stood up in a heroic pose as if he was going to agree but…

"No," he said. "What!?" Peach and Zelda exclaimed. "I told you, I'm retired, but mostly tired," Captain Falcon explained. "But it's for the faith of the universe!" Zelda screamed. "Yes and I support you, but I can't be fighting in any wars, I'm too ol… not the right age to be fighting," Captain Falcon said.

"Oh well, I guess you can't get any of the fame we'll get once we win," Peach said in a convincing tone. "Wait, fame?" Captain Falcon asked. "Yes, fame. Imagine how many fans you'll get if you help us save the universe," Peach said. "Hm, fans," Captain Falcon thought, "You know, on second thought, your army may need someone as heroic as me so I'll join you." "Okay then, let's go to our ship," Peach said. "Great, I'll call mine," Captain Falcon said.

Suddenly the clouds in the sky were covered by ones that were tainted red and gray.

"Hm, weird. It was the middle of the day," Captain Falcon said. Zelda squinted her eyes up in the sky and saw a giant shadow descending from the sky. "That's not the moon," she said with a scared expression.

Agent 8 and Pichu were still following "Samus" but she was still not turning around.

"Uh Samus? Why don't you speak?" Agent 8 asked. Pichu looked up into the sky and yelled, "PICHU! PICHU!" "What?" Agent 8 asked as she looked up into the sky.

She saw that the Subspace Army had arrived and ships were falling from the giant battleship and attacking the place.

"Oh shoot! Samus we need to…" Agent 8 said but before she could finish Samus punched her in the face. "OW! Why would you!?" Agent 8 exclaimed.

"Samus" was preparing for a fight as she started glowing a dark fiery blue. Then Agent 8 finally realized.

"You're not Samus, are you," she said.

The fake Samus grabbed Pichu by the neck. Pichu shocked the fake Samus but it damaged itself in the process. The fake Samus then shot a plasma blast at Pichu, turning it into a trophy.

"No!" Agent 8 yelled as she threw a splatter bomb at the fake Samus. It was covered in pink ink. The fake Samus then shot a missile at Agent 8. Agent 8 closed her eyes, waiting for the worst. Then suddenly she felt like she was being carried out of the way. She opened her eyes to see that Zelda was carrying her as the missile was stopped in mid-air.

"Are you alright?" Zelda asked. "Yeah," Agent 8 responded. "Grahaha! No getting out!" said the same voice from earlier when a ship flew past them and picked up the trophy of Pichu and flew back to the giant battleship.

The fake Samus was about to shoot another missile until it was nearly hit by a couple of laser blasts. In the air above them, The Odyssey and another ship flying besides it appeared.

"Come on, let's go!" Peach yelled.

Agent 8 grabbed Zelda and she super jumped towards The Odyssey. The Odyssey and Captain Falcon's ship were flying at high speeds away from the planet. Suddenly the other ship that grabbed Pichu was on the tail of The Odyssey. It was shooting laser blasts at it.

"Falcon! We could use some help!" Peach yelled through the intercoms. "On it!" Captain Falcon yelled back.

Suddenly Captain Falcon's ship was behind the enemy ship and shot a couple of laser shots at the ship, sending it down to the ground.

"You won't win. As long as we keep stealing your numbers, you all have no chance because I am Wolf O'Donnell."

Captain Falcon's ship and The Odyssey left the planet as it was also consumed by the Subspace Emissary.

12: Gearing the Training

The ships had successfully returned from their missions. The Great Fox and Odyssey landed in the hangar of the Comet Observatory.

"So Mario, how did your mission go…" Luigi asked but didn't finish as the first thing to come out was R.O.B. "Hello, I am Robotic… I mean I am R.O.B" R.O.B said. "Uh, hi R.O.B? Sorry but I am so confused right," Luigi said. "Sorry Luigi," Mario said as he came out, "Turns out that on the planet, R.O.B here is an ancient being that knows all about The Continuance." "And he's very powerful as well," Fox said as he came out and was tending to his tail, "My tail received a few hits." "Sorry," R.O.B said. "It's alright," Fox said with a fake smile.

As The Odyssey landed, Captain Falcon's ship also landed. The ship was known as The Falcon Flier.

"So, who's the new recruit?" Geno asked. "GREETINGS! TIME TO MEET THE LEGENDARY, SPECTACULAR, CAPTAIN FAAAAALCOOOOON!" Captain Falcon yelled as he jumped from his ship and landed on a pose. "No need to ask," Geno said as he walked away. "I kind of wish I took his suggestion the first time," Peach said as she walked away with Geno.

Captain Falcon was still in a pose while Agent 8 talked to Lucario.

"Pichu has been taken by a wolf?" Lucario asked. "Yes," Agent 8 responded. "Hold on, did you say a wolf?" Falco asked as he walked towards them. "Yeah. Why?" Agent 8 asked. "What did this wolf look like?" Falco asked. Zelda walked towards them and responded, "He had an eye patch and wore a purple jacket." "No, no, no. Wolf is back," Falco said as he ran towards the rest of Star Fox. "Looks like they may know who this Wolf is," Agent 8 said. "Yes, I sense they do," Lucario said.

"Hey guys, Mario called a meeting, better go see what it is about," Diddy Kong said. "Alright," Blue said unamused.

The entire team had gathered around a longer table since more members had joined the army.

"So, why are we here?" Daisy asked. "Well thanks to R.O.B here, we've finally learned the origins of The Continuance and the Subspace Army," Mario responded.

"Subspace is an essence that was made to take over the entire universe. It's made out of a darkness that is more powerful than pure darkness. Of course, entering Subspace is extremely dangerous. Nobody has ever lived when they enter. They're vaporized at the spot," R.O.B explained.

"And how does this explain the Subspace Army?" Impa asked.

"They have somehow found a way to enter Subspace successfully without being vaporized. I have reason to believe they are working with the two corrupt beings. The Master Hand and Crazy Hand," R.O.B responded.

"The Master and Crazy Hands?" Samus questioned.

"The two beings that defeated the creator of the Subspace Emissary and The Continuance. But when they became victorious, they were corrupted by the power of The Continuance. Their form had changed into two white gloved hands and they began to conquer the entire universe," R.O.B explained.

"And that's when you and the other R. were created by the original eight to defeat these beings," Mario said. "Precisely," R.O.B said. "And to our friends that have been taken by the Subspace Army. What about them?" Yoshi asked. "If my data is correct, then they are likely in trophy form inside Subspace. They should still be alive," R.O.B explained. "That's good," Zelda said.

Then suddenly, Mario's pocket began beeping.

"Uh what is that noise?" Fox asked.

Mario took out the pager that Meta Knight had given him and a hologram of Meta Knight had come out of it.

"Greetings my friends. I send this message to inform you that I will be sending information to your Observatory to inform you of all of the Subspace weapons that the villains have created. It should be arriving at any time," Meta Knight said then the hologram turned off,

"Who is that?" Lucario asked. "An ally to our cause. He's kinda like our spy within the Subspace Army," Geno explained. "Interesting. And he's sending information how?" Zelda asked.

"Delivery," said a robotic voice behind them.

A drone left a package and self-destructed right beside them.

"A box? Must be filled with information then. Maybe even contain a weapon," Captain Falcon said. "Hold on," Lucario said as it took out a paw and sensed something within. "What is it?" Peppy asked. "I sense something organic," Lucario said as it opened the box.

When it opened the box it stepped back and a man rose up from the box.

"Uh… Hiii," Toad said in a confused tone. "Who are you?" Falco said as he got near his blaster. "An ally. Codename: Snake. Meta Knight tells me you all need a weapons expert," he said. "So you're part of our army?" Mario asked. "Precisely. My world was taken by the Subspace Army. Fortunately, Meta Knight told me you all needed my help and he sent me here. He gave me the information, and I came to deliver," Snake said. "And where is this information?" Impa asked.

Snake pointed to his head and everyone understood what he meant.

Rosalina showed holograms of the blaster that the villains have been using so far.

"Subspace Cannon. Matches the description the knight gave me," Snake said. "How can you remember that?" Samus asked. "I am, let's say, not the original me," Snake responded. "Not the original you?" Fox questioned. "A clone. Enhanced to fight as a soldier, spy, mercenary," Snake explained. "Interesting," Slippy said.

Snake then lent another hologram to the group, showing more Subspace Weapons.

"Of course these are merely prototypes, but they all work the exact same," Snake said, "Subspace hook: Allows the user to capture the trophy with a hook. Subspace Scythe: A blade that can slice a fighter in one hit."

"Who's been developing these weapons and the energy within doesn't seem like any normal energy?" Lucario asked. "Developer is unknown. Meta Knight hasn't reached those ranks yet. But I can tell you that the energy is said to be Subspace particles," Snake responded.

R.O.B immediately turned around as if it was afraid of something.

"That is impossible. No one has been able to figure out how to touch Subspace energy, let alone Subspace particles," R.O.B said. "They have an army of Primids. Could it be that the villains are using primids to grab the energy," Zelda suggested. "Possible. These Primids are a new creation as far as I'm aware," R.O.B explained.

"These weapons are dangerous. They need to be stopped," Mario said. "It was said that the only beings that were able to touch Subspace without dying were… the eight," R.O.B said. "But I doubt the villains are the eight. Who are the eight?" Luigi asked. "Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, and this Pikachu here are The Eight," R.O.B responded.

"And what exactly are the eight?" Mario asked. "A legend. Heroes of the past, present, and future," R.O.B said. "Wait? You never mentioned anything about the future," Samus said. "Yes, that was not the case until I saw mysterious fighter files. It seems that seven fighters are yet to exist. It's strange. This should not be possible. The Continuance has definitely increased in power since 500 years ago," R.O.B explained

"You eight, need training." "Training?" Fox questioned. "Do you have spirits here?" R.O.B asked. "Spirits?" Mario questioned. "Orbs that contain the souls of beings," R.O.B responded.

Luigi returned with a bunch of spirits that contained lumas.

"When the last Subspace war happened, spirits were also discovered. As I said earlier, they're orbs containing those souls of beings who were not selected by The Continuance. Orbs that can grant fighters an increase in attributes. Strength, speed, weapons, you name it, you got it," R.O.B explained.

"Then how come this luma did not turn into a spirit?" Rosalina asked. "The fact that it also appeared on your trophy when the metroids came is also a mystery," Luigi added. "Likely, it was selected and a part of you. Two souls in a trophy. Not uncommon," R.O.B responded.

R.O.B then grabbed a spirit of a luma and handed it over to Mario.

"The eight had the power to return spirits to their original form. Try," R.O.B said.

Mario squished the orb, put it in his hat, even threw fire at it but nothing happened.

"It's not working," Mario said. "That is because you are trying too hard. Remember what happened back in my world. Try to do that. It all depends on the mind," R.O.B said.

Mario took a deep breath and began concentrating. He opened his eyes and they began to glow and suddenly their entire surrounding became dark.

"Whoa! Is this the power?" Luigi asked as he found that the symbol had returned on everyone. R.O.B shushed Luigi.

The spirit of the luma began to glow and suddenly the luma returned to normal.

"Oh my," Mario said as everything returned to normal, "I… I did it." "Good, now the rest of you," R.O.B said.

It took the others a while to turn the lumas to normal, but they all successfully returned the lumas to normal.

"Good, that is enough for today. We still have a lot to learn but there's still a war going on. For now, we continue on our missions," R.O.B said.

13: Bound To The Earth

The Gunship landed near a town called Onett where Samus, Pikachu, Daisy and Piranha Plant are to find new recruits for the fight against the Subspace Army. Perhaps also, bonds will become stronger.

"So tell me again why we had to bring the plant?" Daisy asked. "Is there a problem?" Samus asked. "Well I haven't exactly had a good relationship with Piranha Plants." Daisy responded. "Pika, Pika," Pikachu said as it snuggled with Samus. "Well it seems like Pikachu likes you," Daisy said.

Samus grabbed Pikachu and put it on the ground.

"Let's focus on the mission at hand," Samus said as she began walking toward the town. "Pika?" Pikachu questioned in a confused manner.

The group all went towards the town where they found out it was a ghost town. No one in sight and completely silent.

"Strange, this seems like a town that would get a lot of tourists," Daisy said. "It's quiet. Too quiet. Alright, let's search around and meet back in front of that pharmacy over there," Samus said

Around half an hour had passed but there was no sign of life in this town. But the group decided to have a bit of lunch behind the pharmacy.

"So, no sign of anyone?" Samus asked. "Nuthin," Daisy responded.

Pikachu then cuddled besides Samus again.

She sighed then said, "Okay tiny electric mouse, I suppose you can cuddle next to me this time." "Pika!" Pikachu said in excitement.

Piranha Plant gave Daisy a big smile with his sharp teeth..

"In your dreams, plant," Daisy said.

Piranha Plant looked down in sadness. Then at that moment the ground shook for a bit. Then it shook once more but this time it was louder.

"Okay, what is that?" Samus asked as she looked at the empty street that was now covered by a large shadow.

In the distance she saw a stone statue of a plump kid that was walking toward the town.

"Hm, a giant statue walking towards us. Yeah, not a good sign," Samus said as she patted Pikachu in the head. "Alright, let's get ready to fight," Daisy said.

The group went to the middle of the street and began getting ready for battle.

Little did they know that the statue was taking so long that even I began to fall a… as… asleep.

I woke up and the group also woke up because the statue was now closer to them. Samus began to shoot the statue but her plasma shots were ineffective. Pikachu zapped it with electricity but it did nothing. Daisy threw an onion and Piranha Plant spat out a spike from its mouth but still nothing.

"Damn! Nothing is working!" Samus yelled.

The statue was about to step on the group when something yelled, "PK THUNDER!" knocking the statue to the ground. A kid then landed in front of the group. This kid was wearing a baseball cap and a blue and yellow striped shirt.

"Glad to see that there's still people around," He said. "Who are you?" Daisy asked. "I'm Ness. Nice to meet you. And this is my friend Lu… Lucas? Lucas!" Ness yelled. "Coming!" Lucas yelled as he finally caught up to the group. "And that's my friend Lucas," Ness finished.

The Statue then stood up and began to crumble. As the statue was no more, a mechanical beast had risen from the debris. This beast was in the shape of a spider and there was a person inside this beast.

"Porky," Ness said. "Uh, I didn't eat that much, did I?" Daisy asked. "No, Porky as in that person in that giant robot," Ness responded. "Mehehehe, why if it ain't my old friends, Ness and Lucas," Porky said. "You can't win Porky! We're too fast for you!" Ness yelled. "But I have new friends now, mehehehe," Porky said as he pressed a button and a hatch opened from his mech.

From the hatch, many Subspace particles were released and formed, but this time they weren't Primids, but something else entirely. The new particles took the forms of Dixie Kong, Ivysaur, and the ancient guardian Terrako.

"How… What have you done!?" Samus exclaimed as she pointed her cannon at Porky. "Simply, let's say, improvements. Now, Attack!" Porky commanded.

Dixie Kong charged at Samus and covered her face. Samus tried to take her off of her but Dixie Kong had a strong grip. At that moment, Samus needed to take off her helmet just to get Dixie Kong off. Pikachu then zapped Dixie Kong with a bolt of electricity but it did not affect her at all.

"How did that not affect her!?" Daisy exclaimed as she used a golf club to whack Ivysaur away.

Terrako was about to slash Daisy with an ax when Piranha Plant grabbed it by a leg and threw it towards Dixie Kong, knocking her away.

In the meantime, Ness and Lucas were dealing with Porky's mech.

"You won't win Ness!" Porky yelled. "PK FIRE!" Ness screamed as he shot a bit of fire from his fingers.

While Ness was fighting Porky, Lucas was cowering in the background, cheering on Ness.

"Come on Ness! You can do it, Ness!" Lucas yelled. "Shut up!" Porky yelled as he was tumbling down to the ground.

"It's over Porky, you're done," Ness said. "Oh, is it now," Porky said as he pushed a button and a timer activated.

"Mehehehe, Soon you all will be ours," Porky said. "Quickly! We must make haste!" Samus yelled as she activated a button on her wrist.

At that moment, the Gunship had arrived to pick up the group.

"Oh no you don't!" Porky yelled as he used a Subspace Hook to turn Ness into a trophy.

Lucas, filled with fear, ran with the group toward the Gunship. The Gunship immediately fled the world and the entire world became part of the Subspace Emissary.

14: Crossing the Village

Peppy, Toadette, Donkey Kong and Squirtle arrived in a small village, filled with many creatures that seemed to live happily together in their small commute.

"Wow, many critters here, no sign of danger, might actually be a good place to retire after this," Peppy said. "Oh right, cause you're old," Donkey Kong said. "No! I'm just ol… not the right age to keep fighting all the time!" Peppy yelled. "Y'know, Cranky would really like hanging with you," Donkey Kong said.

Then a small human person walked up to them.

"Why, hello there," he said. "Hi there," Toadette said. "I just want to formally greet you all into my village. As you may know, I am the mayor of the town, Villager," he said. "Wait, you live in a village and your name is Villager," Donkey Kong with a bit of a chuckle. "Precisely, my parents weren't the best at naming their children. Anyway, never seen any of you around. Any particular business here?" Villager asked. "Have you seen anyone with this symbol?" Peppy asked as he took out a hologram of the symbol. "Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure me and my assistant received it a week ago," Villager responded. "Oh great, how would you two like to go to space?" Toadette asked.

Villager thought for a moment, while putting his hand by his chin.

He then said, "I would love to." Everyone looked at him with a grin but then he said, "But I can't right now." "Wait, why?" Peppy asked. "Got some errands to run, and I don't do them, then Isabelle will kill me. Both literally and figuratively," Villager responded. "So if, let's say, help you finish these errands, would both of you be able to come with us?" Toadette asked. "What are you doing?" Donkey Kong asked in a whisper. "I suppose so. Alright deal," Villager responded as he shook Toadette's hand.

Villager led the entire group to the Town Hall. In the Town Hall, Villager's assistant, Isabelle, was filing some paperwork.

"Oh Mayor, perfect timing, we nearly have the necessary bells to keep lowering the taxes for the people. That Tom Nook there is terribly greedy," Isabelle said. "Perfect, so these last couple of errands will get what we need," Villager said optimistically. "Precisely," Isabelle said. "Well thanks to my new friends here, we should finish before lunch. Then go to space," Villager said. "Wait? Space? We don't have time for that mayor. We'll barely get the precise number of bells needed after these errands. We're going to need more if we want to keep the economy the same it's always been." Isabelle said. "What if we do double, no, quadruple the errands?" Villager asked immediately. "Hey, that wasn't part of the deal," Toadette whispered. "Hm, let see. (If I crunch these numbers up. Then if this, then that.) Eureka! It will work," Isabelle said.

In a matter of minutes, Isabelle had printed out a list for everyone of their errands.

"Uh, let's see," Donkey Kong said as he looked at the list, "WHAT! GIVE AWAY BANANAS! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!" Toadette sighed then said, "Let's trade DK." Toadette traded with Donkey Kong.

Squirtle's first task was to help out at the local Cafe, The Roost.

"Squirtle," Squirtle said as it handed the list to Brewster. "So, you want to help out, very well, grab a mug and start serving some coffee. And hurry because Rush Hour begins soon," Brewster said. "Squirtle, Squirtle," Squirtle said in agreement.

Squirtle looked around at the empty Cafe and thought this wouldn't be so bad. It turned around, put on an extra small apron, and grabbed a mug and served some coffee. It turned around and its eyes opened wide. Suddenly the entire Cafe was filled with creatures and critters.

"SQUIRTLE!" It screamed in fear.

In the meantime, Peppy began doing his errand, which was feeding the children? I wonder how he'll do that.

"So Isabelle told me that the children only need to eat this bag of food. Shouldn't be too hard," he said to himself.

At that moment the ground began to shake as if a stampede was coming near him. He turned around and his eyes opened wide.

"OH MY… STAR FOX!" He screamed. He saw that a stampede of children were running towards him. He ran in the opposite direction but his back failed him and he fell to the ground and was trampled by the children. "ISABELLE!" He screamed.

Toadette's errand was to help with the annual harvest.

"So, just have to keep on taking this out!" Toadette yelled as she struggled to take out a turnip. She finally took out a turnip then noticed the entire row of turnips. "ISABELLE!" She screamed.

Donkey Kong was tasked to build some new homes for any new villagers that were to come into town.

"This shouldn't be too hard," Donkey Kong said as he grabbed a wooden plank. He turned around and accidentally knocked over some scaffolding and knocked over and crumbled every house that was already built. "ISABELLE!" Donkey Kong screamed.

After a couple of hours, noon had finally hit the town and the entire group was tired out from every single errand they had to do.

"Well good news, we can finally go with you and the economy won't fail," Isabelle said. "Great, this better had been worth it," Peppy said.

Villager and Isabelle from that day became good friends and joined the army.

15: The Bear and Bird Duo

The Odyssey arrived in a world where it seems that humanity has barely made a presence in this world, and it seems that creatures are the ones that have evolved. Mario, Kirby, Orange and R.O.B are about to meet one of the most iconic duos that you might know very well in your universe.

"Hm, weird place," Orange said. "Let's land on this mountain," Mario said as The Odyssey parked on a spiral looking mountain. "Are you sure we should land here?" R.O.B asked. "I'm sure it will be fine," Orange said as she walked out the door but immediately fell into the water below. "Ow! Ow!" Orange screamed as she turned into a trophy that was floating in the water. "She was saying," R.O.B said sarcastically but it didn't sound sarcastic since he was a R.O.B.

The group climbed down the mountain and picked up Orange's trophy. Kirby reawakened her.

"What happened? Did you land on your face?" Mario asked. "No us Inklings and Octolings don't, uh, do well in water. We basically die," Orange responded. "So you're allergic to water? And you're a squid?" R.O.B questioned. "Basically. Likely because we're made out of ink," Orange explained.

"Po-Poyo, Po-Poyo," Kirby exclaimed as he was pointing to a small house in between the cliffs. "A house? Wonder who lives there?" Mario asked. "Let's go see," Orange said.

The group arrived at the house and knocked on the door. Nobody answered.

"Hm, let's try again," Mario said as he knocked once more. Nobody answered. "Here, let me try," R.O.B said.

R.O.B knocked on the door but accidentally broke the door down in one hit.

"Oops, my bad," R.O.B said. "OH WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL!" screamed a femimine voice. "Sorry ma'am it's just…" Mario said but stopped as he looked around and saw nobody. "IT'S JUST WHAT!?" The voice exclaimed. "Uh, where are you?" Mario questioned. "DOWN HERE TUBBY!" she screamed.

The group looked down and saw a red bird in a blue bag looking very angry. The group then poked their head in the house and saw a bear waking up from the bed.

"HEY, YOUR DEAL IS WITH ME!" the bird screamed as it jumped on Mario's face and started poking Mario's head rapidly. "Get it off! Get it off!" Mario screamed. "Don't worry, I got this," R.O.B said as he began to charge his laser.

The bird noticed and jumped off but before R.O.B could stop the charging of his laser it blasted Mario and knocked him to the ground.

"Mamamia," Mario said as he was dazed. "Sorry," R.O.B said.

"Guh huh," said a voice as the bear was waking up. "Kazooie, what's with all the noise?" the bear asked. "These guys interrupted my beauty sleep, Banjo!" Kazooie yelled. "Oh, sorry about her manners, she barely has any," Banjo apologized. "MY MANNERS?! THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WOKE US UP AND BROKE DOWN OUR DOOR!" Kazooie yelled.

"Yeah, she has a bit of an attitude," Banjo whispered to Kirby. "Poyo?" Kirby questioned.

"See, that one can't even talk!" Kazooie yelled. "Well, we are very, incredibly sorry for waking you up," Mario said as he stood up from the ground. "Well I don't accept your apology tubby!" Kazooie yelled as she crossed her wings. "Kazooie," Banjo said in a chastising tone. "Oh alright, I accept your apology," Kazooie said.

After making up with each other, the group finally began talking to Banjo and Kazooie.

"Have you seen anyone with this symbol?" R.O.B asked as he made a hologram from his eyes. "Hm, let's see. Oh yeah, me and Kazooie here received that symbol around a week, a year, no, a week ago," Banjo responded. "Well we need your help Banjo and Kazooie. You see there's a war and we need fighters who have the symbol to help us," Mario said. "I mean, for what purpose is it?" Banjo asked. "For the entire universe," Orange said, "If we fail, then a bunch of villains take over the universe. "I mean if it's that big then I guess I could join," Banho said.

"Well not me," Kazooie said. "How come?" Mario asked. "Because I need my beauty sleep," Kazooie said.

At that moment, a hole was dug out of the ground and Bottles the Mole came out.

"Boo hoo, Kazooie is too afraid to fight," Bottles said. "Hm, you know what, I will join," Kazooie said. "Are you just joining to prove a point?" Orange asked. "Yes… I mean I care about the universe and all that," Kazooie said.

So Banjo and Kazooie joined the fighters in their battle against the Subspace Army. Oh wait, their ship is still on top of Spiral Mountain.

"Uh, how do we get up there?" Orange asked. "Don't worry, I got this," Kazooie said as she pushed the Odyssey off the mountain and it landed in the water. "Well, hopefully it still works," Mario said.

16: The 8 Bit World

The next world was kind of a strange one to say the least. It seems that this world was yet to adapt to a 3-D environment like all others, and well let's say some members of the Falcon Flier felt a familiar, uh, design.

"AHH! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!" Captain Falcon yelled since he was an 8 bit figure of himself. "This feels… oddly familiar," Luigi said. Charizard grunted in agreement. "No matter, we have to find the fighter here," Lucario said.

The group walked into a town which was also 8 bit.

"I still don't like this guys!" Captain Falcon yelled. "Calm down Captain Falcon. Let's just find the fighter and get out of here," Lucario said.

Then a yellow pizza ran past them as it dropped fruit behind.

"Uh sir, you dropped your fruit," Luigi said. "Waka? Oh my! Oh no! My fruit!" it yelled as it ran back to pick them up. "Waka Thanks! Got to eat! Bye, Bye!" It yelled. "That… was one of weirdest things I have ever met," Captain Falcon said. "Dude, you've met a pink gumball," Luigi said. "Touche," Captain Falcon said.

They stopped by a fruit store where there were many pixelated fruits in the stands.

"What's with this place?" Captain Falcon questioned. "Well you mighty folks don't look like you're around here," said a cashier. "Uh yeah, we're kind of looking for someone, they likely could have had this symbol," Luigi said as he made a pattern with the fruit. "Well that would be Pac-Man sir. Our beloved hero. You just missed him, he ran home after buying another month's supply of food that only lasts him an hour," the cashier said. "Did he by any chance look like a yellow pizza?" Lucario asked. "Why yes," The Cashier responded.

The group immediately ran out of the store to find Pac-Man, yet he was long gone by then since he was running incredibly fast.

"Dang, we missed him," Luigi said. "Well we better go look for them," Lucario said

In the meantime, an hour had passed and Pac-Man returned to the fruit store to buy more fruit.

"Waka! Cashier Guy! I need more fruit," Pac-Man yelled. "Oh sure Pac-Man. You've really been having quite an appetite recently," the cashier said. "Waka! That symbol thing has really stressed me out," Pac-Man said. "Well speaking of that symbol, four guys came in here and wanted to talk to you. One of them was wearing a green hat," the cashier said. "Waka! Those guys! Where can I find them?" Pac-Man asked. "They're over there by the park," The Cashier said. "Waka, thanks," Pac-Man said as he ran over to the park. The cashier sighed then said, "And he forgot to pay as usual."

The group were now growing tired of searching because there was no sign of Pac-Man anywhere.

"Y'know, we should leave," Captain Falcon said. "Oh come on, you heard what Mario said. We need every fighter we can get," Luigi said. "Well we can't find this guy anywhere," Captain Falcon said. "Waka! Waka!" Pac-Man yelled as he ran to their spot. "Told you," Luigi said. "Waka! Cashier guy said you wanted to talk to me," Pac-Man said. "Yes, we will acquire your assistance. We're currently fighting a war and we need all the fighters we can get," Lucario said. "Waka! Okay," Pac-Man said. "Really? That was easy?" Luigi questioned. "Waka, yes. I am very bored," Pac-Man responded. "Okay then, let's go," Lucario said. Charizard grunted in excitement once more.

So Pac-Man decided to join the army because he was bored.

17: Training with Ice

Our heroes have all returned, and it seemed like Meta Knight had sent two more packages to the group.

"Guh huh, this is space. Never been here," Banjo said. "Seen one star, seen them all," Kazooie said. "So, you guys are not going to eat me? Right?" Lucas asked. "Oh please, I wouldn't eat you if you were the last thing in the universe," Kazooie responded. "Oh Kazooie, be nice, don't worry kid, we'll eat you if you are the last thing in the universe," Banjo said. "AHHH!" Lucas screamed as he ran away. "Was it something I said?" Banjo asked. Kazooie hit her face with her wing.

The Falcon Flier group came out and it seemed Pac-Man received an update to his design.
"Waka! I'm 3-D!" Pac-Man yelled as he came out and became a yellow orb with legs and arms. He also had red gloves and red shoes. "We ll, at least you look normal," Captain Falcon said. Indeed, once Pac-Man left Pac-World, his body immediately adapted to a 3-D environment turning him into a 3-D figure. "Waka, do you guys hear someone narrating?" Pac-Man asked. "Finally! I'm not crazy!" Geno yelled. "Dude, that's a yellow gumball who just said it," Blue said. "Oh," Geno said in disappointment.

"Hm, Mario, it seems that Meta Knight sent three more fighters to us," Peach said. "Really? Can we meet them?" Mario asked. "Yeah," Peach responded.

The eight went ahead to meet the new fighters that had arrived and found three people. Two of them looked like generic Ice Climbers while the other was plain white and looked like a fitness trainer.

"Hi, the name's Popo," Popo greeted. "And I'm Nana," Nana said. "Uh, hi," Mario said. "Seems like odd choices for recruits," Samus said. "I'm Wii Fit Trainer and I'm all fired up," she said. "Well the more the merrier," Mario said. "Perfect, these two are what we need for our next bit of training," R.O.B said. "How so?" Fox asked. "Fitness," R.O.B responded.

In a matter of moments, Wii Fit Trainer had designed a fitness plan for the eight.

"Alright, so R.O.B tells me you all require fitness and I'm the perfect gal to help," Wii Fit Trainer said. "Oh please, I don't require fitness," Mario said. "Mario, you're the fattest one here besides the pink and yellow gumballs and I don't even know what they are," Kazooie insulted, "Even the monkey here is more fit than you." "Uh Banjo, can we throw her out to space now?" Mario asked. "Nah, you'll get used to her," Banjo responded.

"Okay, first we'll start with a tree pose," Wii Fit Trainer said as she stretched into a tree pose position.

Everyone was able to hold it together for half a minute.

"Now, Triangle pose."

Everyone was able to do this one.

"Oh this is boring, here I'll help," Popo said as he froze the floor beneath the fighters. Everyone slipped and fell onto their butts.

"Now, do a side plank."

Everyone wasn't doing it because the floor was made out of ice.

Around an hour later, everyone was tired out and sitting on the floor, breathing heavily.

"Okay, now that our warm-up is done, we can begin with the real exercise," Wii Fit Trainer said.

Everyone sighed and fell to the floor.

"Perhaps we should do another training," R.O.B said. "Yes please," Mario said as he was panting heavily. "Told… you… were… fat," Kazooie said as she was panting hard.

In another manner of mere moments, the Ice Climbers had designed an entire obstacle course for the eight.

"Okay, now that Popo and Nana designed this obstacle course, you eight will go through it," R.O.B said. "Okay, but how am I supposed to fit?" Donkey Kong asked. "Squeeze through," Kazooie said as she put her claws in ice.

Half an hour had passed but the obstacle was only supposed to last an hour but the others struggled getting Donkey Kong to fit.

"Okay, let's put a hold on the training and focus on the war," Mario said as he fell to the ground. "Fine, but you're still doing the fitness routine Wii Fit gave you," R.O.B said. "Mamamia," Mario said as he laid face flat on the ground.

18: ARMS at Hand

"Take this world! Every fighter! Take them all!" Ganondorf yelled. "It's no use! There's too many of them!" Spring-Man yelled. "We need to run! Now!" Ribbon Girl yelled.

It seems like the Subspace Army had already arrived in the world of ARMS. Every fighter of ARMS had already been turned into spirits, except four. Spring-Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Min Min, who in fact, were the fighters that the Subspace Army was looking for.

Hiding inside the abandoned locker room inside Spring Stadium, they were all catching their breath after fighting many Primids.

"Who are those things?!" Spring-Man yelled. "Who knows, they all seem like they're not from this world," Ninjara said. "Well what do we do now?" Min Min asked. "Perhaps I can be of assistance," said a voice from the shadows.

The ARMS fighters turned around quickly to find a small being walking towards them. He was round and his face was shining.

"Don't shoot, I am not an enemy," he said as he revealed himself to be Meta Knight. "Oh yeah, well you're friends there really do know what peace means," Spring-Man said sarcastically. "Trust me, they are not my friends. I am merely trying to prevent the faith that is to come to all of you if you do not listen," Meta Knight said.

The ARMS fighters put down their ARMS and were now listening to Meta Knight.

"You see, I am merely a spy for an army dedicated to stopping the Subspace Army. I am here to ask you all to join that army to stop the Subspace Army from taking over the entire universe," Meta Knight explained.

"And even if we were to agree, how would we even get to this other army?" Ribbon Girl questioned. "SImple, do you all fit in a box?" Meta Knight asked. "A box?" Everyone questioned.

Meta Knight had a device that fit all of the fighters of ARMS in four boxes which they fit in quite comfortably.

"The ride will be bumpy, but this is the safest way to reach the other fighters," Meta Knight said. "Alright, so we just sit and wait in here?" Min Min asked. "Precisely," Meta Knight responded.

Four of Meta Knight's drones came down and picked up the boxes and they were sent on the way to the Comet Observatory.

"Good luck," Meta Knight said. "Meta Knight, you are needed back at base," Ganondorf said through his intercom. "Yes, I'm on my way," Meta Knight said.

Then Meta Knight flew back to the Subspace Army's as the world of ARMS was consumed by the Subspace Emissary,

19: Double Link, Double Zelda

The Gunship landed in a world that seemed oddly similar to Hyrule. Link and Zelda especially found it strange.

Samus, Link, Zelda and Greninja exited the Gunship.

"Does this seem like Deja Vu to any of you?" Zelda asked. Link nodded in agreement. "Deja vu? How so?" Samus asked. "That symbol over there by the castle, it… it's the same as the one that shows up on my hand when I use my power," Zelda explained. "Then that is strange," Samus said. "Gre-Greninja," Greninja said in agreement.

At that moment, they heard the sound of a horse running towards them. Then a brown horse stopped in front of them and a kid hopped off the horse. This boy was wearing a green hat and wielded a sword that looked familiar on his back.

"Hi, you must be wondering why we're here," Samus said. The boy grunted and nodded. "Well you see," Samus said but she was interrupted. "Wait, hold on, is that?" Zelda questioned, "The Master Sword?" "The Master Sword?" Samus asked.

Link took out his sword, showing his version of the Master Sword. The boy also took out his Master Sword and both groups found that they looked exactly the same.

"Excuse me, but this land doesn't happen to be called Hyrule, does it?" Zelda asked, "And your name isn't Link, is it?" The boy nodded. "What!?" Everyone screamed at the same time.

"How could this be? Two worlds, different, but the same?" Samus questioned. The Young Link just looked at them in a confused manner. Link also looked at him in a confused state.

Then suddenly, someone else appeared beside them.

"A Sheikah?" Zelda questioned. "What are you doing with the boy who wields the Master Sword? Master Swords?" The Sheikah questioned. "Okay, look, I know this may be hard to believe but we come from another… other worlds," Samus said. "Other worlds?" The Sheikah questioned.

Samus explained the entire situation to the Sheikah and Young Link.

"Really? And you expect us to believe that?" The Sheikah asked. "Yes because these two here are Link and Zelda," Samus said. "Wait, she's Zelda?" The Sheikah asked. "Yes, I'm Zelda," Zelda responded. "That's impossible," the Sheikah said. "Why?" Zelda asked. "Because I'm Zelda," she said. "What!?" Everyone yelled.

The Sheikah spun around quickly in a green twirl and was revealed to be a princess with blonde hair, a white dress with pink, and blue eyes.

"I mean I do see some similarities but besides that you both look completely different," Samus said. "You sure you all aren't part of Ganondorf's tricks?" The other Zelda asked. "Ganondorf!?" Everyone yelled. "We would never join that guy. He's taken so many worlds already," Samus said. "Wait, so are you saying that Ganondorf is a part of this Subspace Army?" Zelda 2 asked. "Yeah," Samus responded. "Hm, that's why he hasn't begun his grand plan here, because he found a new one," Zelda 2 said.

"And assuming you two are basically the same as Link and Zelda here, we assume you both received the symbol," Samus said. "That's exactly what we got," Zelda 2 said. "Then come with us, join us to stop Ganondorf and all the other villains," Samus said. "Very well, come on Link… erm Young Link, let's go," Zelda 2 said. Young Link nodded in agreement and entered the Gunship.

"She sounds so much more sophisticated than me," Zelda said.

The others entered the ship and left the world. In the meantime, someone was watching from the shadows. Through the bushes of the forest, yellow eyes and green cloth were watching the Gunship take off.

"Ancient Minister, here, it seems we're too late, the heroes have recruited the fighters from this Hyrule, signing off," the Ancient Minister reported, "Now I am wondering, some memories have appeared out of nowhere, as if they were there the entire time. No matter, my purpose given by the Master Hand and the Crazy Hand must be completed. Bombing this world, now."

The Ancient Minister activated the Subspace bomb and this version of Hyrule was consumed by the Subspace Emissary.

20: Swords of Royalty

"So who exactly are we looking for?" Villager asked. "I remember an old ally, one whose leadership was inspiring. He wielded a great sword named Falchion. He's likely dead by now, but it's possible that his ancestor still lives," R.O.B explained through the computers. "Well nothing that the great Captain Falcon can take care of," Captain Falcon said.

The Falcon Flier landed in an open spot in the middle of a forest. Captain Falcon was the first to come out and he looked around.

"Well, at least this world isn't in 8-Bit," he said. "Waka, aw," Pac-Man said as he came. "Do you have to say Waka every time you start a sentence?" Kazooie asked. "Waka are you talking about?" Pac-Man asked. "Ugh, never mind," Kazooie said. "Oh come on Kazooie, be nice guh huh," Banjo said.

"Alright, so just finding a guy with a sword doesn't seem that hard," Villager said. "Oh why did you say that you dumb-," Kazooie said but before she could finish the group was surrounded by the rising Primids hidden in the ground. "AHH!" Kazooie screamed. "Waka! Fight time!" Pac-Man yelled.

Pac-Man rolled himself in a ball and began spinning around the group. He then jumped up and began eating the Primids. Banjo held Kazooie as if she was a gun and began shooting the Primids with ice balls.

"What have you been eating dude!?" Captain Falcon yelled. "Not by choice, pleh," Kazooie said. "Whatever. Falcon Punch!" Captain Falcon yelled.

Villager began planting a tree and he grew it in seconds. He then cut it with an ax and yelled, "Timber!" The tree took out around a dozen Primids.

"Okay Kazooie, time for the egg grenade, guh huh," Banjo said. "What!?" Kazooie yelled, "Oh no you… AHH!"

A grenade in the shape of an egg came out of the bottom of Banjo's back and he threw it at the Primids and it blew them up.

"Never do that again!" Kazooie screamed. Then another wave of Primids was spawning from the ground. "AHH! Do it again! Do it again!" Kazooie screamed.

Another Egg Grenade came out and Banjo once again threw it at the Primids.

"Okay Kazooie, we really need to talk about what Banjo is making you eat, if we make it that is," Captain Falcon said. "Whatever!?" Kazooie yelled. "Waka! Keep fighting," Pac-Man said.

They finished off the second wave but then came the third wave. Except this wave was not a wave of Primids.

"Is that all you got!?" Captain Falcon yelled.

Then a corrupted version of Daruk came up above him and flung him toward a tree.

"We seriously have to wait before we make a statement like that," Villager said. "Waka, correct," Pac-Man said. "If you mind, can you please help!?" Captain Falcon yelled. "Oh, whatever, pleh," Kazooie said as Banjo began to shoot more ice balls at the corrupted Daruk.

There was no effect and Daruk began swinging his club, but Banjo was able to hold the club, but was now being flung around.

"Whoa!" Banjo screamed. "YOU IDIOT!" Kazooie screamed. "Waka, Don't worry. I'll get you down," Pac-Man said as he began throwing some fruit at Daruk but it was still ineffective.

"I got this," Villager said as he put on some boxing gloves. He charged at Daruk and began punching rapidly.

"Good distraction little guy," Captain Falcon said as he jumped into the air and yelled, "FALCON PUNCH!"

Captain Falcon falcon punched Daruk towards the trees.

"Well, that takes care of that," Captain Falcon said. "Stop talking!" Kazooie yelled, "AHH!"

The ground began to shake even more as Daruk was coming back and he was now accompanied by Bowser and Bowser Jr.

"So, you have made it to this world," Bowser said. "Go show em what you can do Papa," Bowser Jr said. "Oh please, like two fat turtles are enough to take down the legendary, mighty, heroic, CAPTAIN FALCON!" Captain Falcon yelled.

Captain Falcon jumped into the air and landed on top of the Falcon Flier and did a pose.

Bowser with a confused expression asked, "Does he do this a lot?" "Yes," Everyone else responded. "Whatever," Bowser said as he shot a fireball at Captain Falcon. "FALCON PUNCH!" Captain Falcon yelled as he punched the fireball away.

Bowser Jr then flew up in his clown and began shooting cannonballs at the group. Villager jumped in front of the group and began to pocket the cannonballs at a fast pace.

"How are you doing that!?" Kazooie yelled. "I have very, extremely big pockets," Villager responded.

Villager then took out the cannonballs and began firing back at Bowser Jr.

"Whoa! Hey!" Bowser Jr yelled as he was dodging the cannonballs. Then one cannonball hit the propeller of his clown car and he fell to the ground. "Oh you'll pay for that!" Bowser Jr yelled as he kept jumping in a tantrum.

Bowser Jr then grabbed a Subspace Cannon from his broken Clown Car and began charging the cannon.

"Don't worry guys, whatever he fires, I can pocket," Villager said.

The Subspace Cannon shot out the arrow and Villager tried to pocket it but he was ineffective and he was turned into a trophy.

"Hahahaha," Bowser Jr laughed, "You don't have protection anymore." "Oh shut up kid! You and your father are as fat as Mario!" Kazooie yelled. "Hey! We aren't fat, we're thick boned," Bowser said. "That's what all the fat people say," Kazooie said as she rolled her eyes. "Oh, we're going to take you next," Bowser said.

Bowser took the cannon from junior and began charging it at Banjo & Kazooie.

"Oh no you don't!" yelled a voice behind Bowser. "What!?" Bowser yelled.

Bowser was suddenly slashed by two swords in the back by his shell and was launched away from the group. The cannon was then flying in the air and was destroyed at that instance as someone yelled "Great Aether!"

"Papa! Oh you heroes will pay for that. Rock guy, carry my car and let's run!" Bowser Jr commanded.

The corrupted Daruk picked up the Clown car and ran with Junior towards Bowser's landing point, which was across the entire forest.

When the dust settled, three swordsmen were revealed. One of them had red hair, while the others were blue.

"Seems like you were all in trouble so we came to help. Sorry about your friend there. The name's Marth, pleasure to make your acquaintance," he said. "Right, nice to meet you too, guh huh," Banjo said. "Hm, talking turtle and bear. Now I've seen it all," the red haired swordsman said, "I'm Roy and this here is Ike. What is a strange group like you doing here in the middle of the forest fighting monsters?"

Pac-Man reawakened Villager.

"Oh that was too weird. I felt like I was alive and I was not at the same time," Villager said.

"Well, the great Captain Falcon will explain," Captain Falcon said, "You see, we came here to this world to find a swordsman with a sword called Falchion. We heard he could help us with our war."

"Hm, funny enough, that's my sword here," Marth said, "So, what war are you fighting?" "The war for the universe Waka," Pac-Man said. "(At least he doesn't start every sentence with waka)," Kazooie whispered. "War for the universe?" Ike questioned. "Yeah, guh huh, there's an army called the Subspace Army who wants to take over the entire universe and we're going to stop them," Banjo explained. "And we were told that a descendant of a swordsman who wielded Falchion could be here," Villager added.

"Oh please, like we'll believe that," Ike said.

At that moment a shadow could be seen in the sky. Banjo and Kazooie looked up as if they recognized something.

"You see something Banjo?" Roy asked. "Watch out!" Banjo yelled as they all dodged a fireball that was thrown at them.

"Why, if it ain't my old enemies, Banjo and Kazooie," said a frail, wicked voice. "Gruntilda!" Banjo yelled.

A witch had appeared above. She was about one of the, if not, the ugliest beings in this universe. Her skin was green, with warts, and her eyes were yellow and they bulged.

"Ah, I see you still recognize me," Gruntilda said, "No matter, you all will be working with me soon enough, and I will get those precious looks that rightfully belong to me."

Gruntilda swung her wand around and The Halberd was flying in as the entire sky was turning red and dark.

"Let the invasion begin!" she yelled. "Oh she's really a bother," Kazooie said. "And really ugly," Captain Falcon said. "Definitely," everyone else said.

Marth noticed something and he stopped it with a sword. The thing turned out to be Meta Knight, who was attacking along with Gruntilda.

"Oh it's," Captain Falcon said but was immediately slapped by Kazooie. "I mean it's another bad guy, oh no," Captain Falcon said. "He's skilled, I can sense it," Ike said. "Perhaps you'll be worthy opponents," Meta Knight said.

Meta Knight charged at Marth but they both were equally matched in the skills of the sword. Every hit was hit with each other's sword. In this case this was a battle of the mind, to see who would make the first hit. Each slash was so precise that it could likely cut a pizza perfectly.

"You're gifted, but a gift is nothing without training," Meta Knight said. "Heheheheh, Meta Knight! Time to fight," said the fat penguin who just came out of the bushes.

The fat penguin got his hammer and launched Marth toward the group.

"Great Aether!" Ike yelled as he was about to hit Dedede. "Oh no you don't," King Dedede said as he opened his mouth and ate Ike. He then spat him out and Meta Knight slashed him and Meta Knight was so powerful that he turned Ike into a trophy in one hit.

"Oh boy, time to leave! Falcon!" Kazooie screamed. "Right!" Captain Falcon yelled as he ran into the Falcon Flier and turned it on. "No! We must fight!" Marth yelled. "They're too skilled for us! We must retreat," Villager said. "I'm afraid they might be right, Marth, looks like we have no choice," Roy said. "Ugh, fine," Marth said as he ran into the Falcon Flier.

The Falcon Flier immediately took off and left the planet's atmosphere in a hurry.

21: The Vampire Hunter

A dark and dreaded castle lay in the middle of the night. As rain fell quickly and scurrily, a hooded man stood in front of the castle where Dracula had made his home. The hooded man opened the castle's door and walked inside, where the candles had been lit.

The man uncloaked himself, as he was preparing to fight Dracula himself, alone, for he was Simon Belmont. Yes, he is part of the Belmont family. Throughout every one hundred years, the Belmonts were the sworn enemies of Dracula, for now a hundred years had passed, and Dracula had awoken once more. Luckily for Simon, he wielded the Vampire Killer Whip, a legendary weapon wielded by the Belmonts to kill Dracula for another one hundred years.

As Simon walked, you could hear his footsteps echo through the dark and cold walls, as well as muffled rain that hit the windows.

Hold on, there is something else you can hear, something that does not belong. It was obvious that they were screams of a person. You could even hear running footsteps of someone who had entered the castle before Simon could.

Simon heard this, and ran immediately to save that person. While on the other side of the castle, Luigi with his Poltergust 3000, was running all over the place, as he was facing the monsters within the castle.

"Ahh!" he screamed. "Uh Luigi," Mario said. "AHHH!" Luigi continued screaming. "LUIGI!" Mario screamed. "What Mario, can't you see there's a monster on the wall!?" Luigi yelled. "Luigi, that is a painting," Mario responded. "Wait what?" Luigi asked.

Luigi finally saw the portrait of a medusa.

"Oh, my bad," Luigi said. "The fighter is likely in this castle. All we have to do is find them," Mario said. "I'm all fired up," Wii Fit Trainer said. "Yeah, let's do this," Popo said. "Oh Popo," Nana said. "Uh, are you sure Mario?" Luigi asked, "Th-This castle kind of looks ha-hau-haunted." "It'll be fine Luigi," Mario responded, "We'll just be in and out." "O-O-Ok," Luigi said as he was still trembling.

The group walked around but it seemed that Luigi was the only one who noticed all the ghouls and creatures of this castle. Every time he tried to warn the group, the monsters had simply disappeared in the wind.

"Hm, seems like we're off schedule a bit. Isabelle won't be happy. If we want to make up for lost time, we need to separate," Mario said. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?" Luigi asked as he kept trembling. "Great idea Mario," Popo said. "Okay, Nana, Popo, you guys go together since you're stronger together. I'll go in this direction while Wii Fit goes over there with Luigi. If we don't find anything in 20 minutes, we'll meet back here," Mario said. "But, but, but, but," Luigi said as he kept trembling. "Right, let's a go," Mario said as they each separated into the three different hallways.

"Oh-o-oh," Luigi said. "Something wrong?" Wii Fit Trainer asked. "N-N-No, nothing at all," Luigi responded as he began to sweat. "Okay, just saying," Wii Fit Trainer said.

On the other side of the castle, Simon Belmont was still hearing the screams of Luigi that were still on the walls. He then began to hear the different footsteps of all the fighters walking on top of him. He quickly ran toward the stairs, but it turned out it was merely a portrait of the castle that seemed to have been created nearly more than a millennia ago. The rain kept on pouring, as thunder and lightning began to strike the roof of the castle.

"Ahh!" Luigi screamed. "Seriously dude, you need to know how to face your fears," Wii Fit Trainer said. "Sorry," Luigi said. "Although I must admit, it is awfully quiet," Wii Fit Trainer said.

Suddenly beeping noises began to ring.

"AHHH! We're under attack!" Luigi screamed. "Calm down, that's just my timer. 20 minutes is up, let's go meet up with the others," Wii Fit Trainer said. "Oh, yeah, definitely wasn't scared," Luigi said confidently. "Right, huh, what's that!" Wii Fit Trainer said immediately. "AHH!" Luigi screamed. Wii Fit Trainer laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's go."

Luigi and Wii Fit Trainer returned to the fork in the road but something had happened. The hallways that Mario and the Ice Climbers had gone through had disappeared. No trace whatsoever. Just simply gone.

"Uh, uh, weren't there hallways there?" Luigi asked as he began trembling very quickly. "Yeah, let's see if maybe those hallways led to some room and…" Wii Fit Trainer said as she turned around to find that the hallway they went through was gone as well.

"Okay, maybe this might be a little serious," Wii Fit Trainer said. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luigi screamed. "Quiet down! We don't know who might be here!" Wii Fit Trainer yelled.

Suddenly, on the stairs behind them that had just appeared out of nowhere, footsteps could be heard. They were definitely coming closer and closer to their location.

Wii Fit Trainer immediately covered Luigi's mouth to prevent him from screaming. The footsteps edged closer, and closer, until to the point that they saw something red poking out.

Wii Fit Trainer immediately kicked a soccer ball at the figure and it yelled, "OW!" "Wait, that voice sounds familiar," Wii Fit Trainer said. "Wii Fit! Why did you kick a soccer ball at me!?" Mario yelled. "Sorry, I thought you were a monster," Wii FIt Trainer said.

The Ice Climbers also poked out from the stairs and they all reunited with each other.

"Sorry, but the hallways disappeared out of nowhere and we found these stairs and we didn't know where they led," Mario said.

Then more footsteps could be heard.

"You weren't followed, were you?" Wii Fit Trainer asked. "I don't know," Mario responded. "AHHHHH!" Luigi screamed as he hid behind the group.

The sound of a clinging whip could be heard as the footsteps edged closer, and closer. The figure reached the top and Simon Belmont revealed himself to the group.

"What are you all doing here in this castle?" He asked. "Looking for someone," Mario responded. "It's dangerous to be here as long as Dracula still lives," Simon said, "Unfortunately, you're not allowed to leave unless I kill Dracula." "DRACULA!?" Luigi screamed. "Dracula, he put a curse on the castle to prevent anyone from leaving," Simon explained, "He who returns every one hundred years to seek revenge on the Belmont family. Only the Belmont of age, with the sacred weapon of the Belmonts, the Vampire Killer, can kill Dracula."

"Then let us help. We've dealt with many monsters in our worlds," Mario said. "Very well, but just stay back. Not like I have a choice. I know the secret passage to Dracula's chambers. There, I kill him," Simon said.

The group agreed and they followed Simon through the first painting that Luigi was afraid of. As the hallway kept getting smaller and smaller, they finally made it to the exit hole where all they saw was an empty throne.

"Oh well, he's not here, let's go," Luigi said.

As lightning and thunder struck once more, a shadow could be seen on the throne. Suddenly a man, with pale white skin, along with a tuxedo and a red cape appeared. You could also easily see the fangs showing in his mouth. For this was Count Dracula himself.

"My, if it isn't one of the Belmonts, arriving here just made all my dreams come true," He said, "For today, will be the day I end the Belmont bloodline. And looks like you also brought me leftovers." "V-V-V-VAMPIRE!" Luigi screamed. "ARGH! That's freaking annoying. I take it they're not from this world," Dracula said. "How did you know that?" Mario asked. "Quite simply I've obtained an invitation by the Subspace Army. I refused, but that does not mean I won't kill you," Dracula said.

Dracula stood up from his throne and he prepared for battle.

"Stay back," Simon said as he took out the Vampire Killer and prepared to fight.

Dracula shot some fire from his cape and Simon dodged all the attacks. He then hit Dracula with his whip but it did nothing.

"Damn! Not effective at all," Simon said. "Hm, seems I have grown stronger since the Continuance began. So be it," Dracula said as he turned into multiple bats and charged at Simon.

Simon threw his whip and swung from the decaying wood of the ceiling to the other side of the room. Dracula returned to his original form and shot more fire at Simon. Simon then threw a holy cross at Dracula's head and it did so much damage that Dracula fell to the floor.

"You will die for your treachery Dracula," Simon said.

Simon took out a bottle and threw it on Dracula. It burned Dracula to crisp. Nothing but ash remained.

"The curse of the castle is broken for another one hundred years," Simon said. "Wow, what was that?" Mario asked. "Holy Water, effective against those whose hearts are pure evil," Simon responded.

But the battle was not over as the ash began to float in the air. They formed into a new kind of beast, one of demon appearance.

"You think it is over Belmont! The battle has merely begun," said Dracula in a new demonic voice. "Damn! Can't you just freaking die!" Simon yelled. "It will take much more than mere weapons to kill the Count, Belmont," Dracula said.

Dracula jumped to the other side of the room and began firing purple fire from his mouth. This time however it targeted Simon and he couldn't dodge it. Luckily, Mario jumped in front of Simon and threw a large fireball, eradicating Dracula's.

"You do not have to do this alone Simon. We can do this together," Mario said. "Right," Simon said.

Simon got up from the floor and got his whip ready. Mario's eyes began to glow once more as he was using the power of the eight, but this time he focused all of his energy on Simon, and Simon's eyes began to glow the same color as Mario's.

"This power is tremendous," Simon said. "Use it while we still have a chance," Mario said.

Dracula charged at them but Simon was ready. Using the energy Mario had given him, Simon summoned a coffin that closed on Dracula. It launched into the sky and Simon yelled, "GRAND CROSS!" and crosses of light launched towards the coffin, blowing it up in the air.]

The Demonic Dracula fell to the ground, weakened. Mario had stopped his powers and fainted from exhaustion.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with the rest," Simon said. Simon threw all he got to Dracula.

"ARGHH! NO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Dracula screamed as he was turned into a spirit. The sky above the castle began to clear up. In the night sky, the stars could be seen along with the shining light from the moon.

"I did it. Dracula is gone," Simon said in relief, "Is your friend okay?" "My bro will be fine but can we get out of here now?" Luigi asked. "Alright, let's go from this forsaken place," Simon said.

In the grounds of the castle, The Odyssey was awaiting their arrival. Mario still fainted, and had to be carried by Luigi and the Ice Climbers.

"You know Simon, we didn't come here for nothing. We were actually looking for you," Wii Fit Trainer said. "For me? Why?" Simon asked. "Assuming you received a symbol two weeks ago, we're looking for fighters for an army against the Subspace Army that Dracula mentioned back there. They are a group who seeks to rule the entire universe and we need all the help we can get," Wii Fit Trainer explained.

Simon thought for a second. He then looked at the fainted Mario in The Odyssey.

"Very well. I will join you in your quest. I'm sure you all are worthy allies. I hope you can call me a true ally, and friend," Simon said. "Thank you Simon. Truly," Wii Fit Trainer said.

Simon entered The Odyssey and it left the planet.

22: Attack on Bionis

Bionis, a world that was once on a titan with the same name. Mechonis, a titan that was once at war against the Bionis. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the god of the Bionis, Zanza. Eventually, both peoples of the Bionis and the Mechonis came together to kill Zanza and live in a world without gods. They now live in peace in a new land created by the remnants of the Bionis.

On the Great Fox, Star Fox, along with a small group, landed on a hill near Colony 9, where the people of the Bionis and Mechonis lived.

"You guys go on ahead. We'll stay and make sure the ship is running," Fox said.

Kirby, Bandana Waddle-Dee, Impa, Snake, Incineroar, and Agent 3 exited the Great Fox to search for new allies for the war against Subspace. Yet little did they know that the Subspace Army was on their way.

"So, any idea where to look?" Impa asked. "Hm, unfortunately I would've had information on this world if I could speak to Otacon," Snake said. "Who's Otacon?" Agent 3 asked. "A friend of mine who was in my world during the attack. He was a wizard of information," Snake responded. "Hm, maybe that town down there has fighters," Impa said as she pointed to Colony 9. "Might be our best chance," Agent 3 said. "Okay. Showtime," Snake said.

The group walked down and entered Colony 9. There was a wide variety of people in this Colony. Humans, or as they are referred to in this world, Homs, Nopon, High Entia, and Machina. Although, the people have never seen anybody like this group.

"Why are they looking at us?" Agent 3 asked. "Must be… I actually don't even know," Impa responded. "I mean we're kind of strangers in this world," Snake said. "Incineroar," Inceneroar said. "Also we do have a walking tiger with us," Snake said. "Fair point," Impa said.

Then a Nopon came up to them and said, "Do not worry people of Colony 9, Heropon Riki here to save the day." "Yeah, go get them Riki!" yelled another Nopon.

"Hm, maybe try to talk to him," Agent 3 said. "Worth a shot," Impa said.

Impa knelt down and said, "Hey, erm, Riki, right? Anyway, we're kind of," but before Impa could finish, Riki jumped on her face and began hitting her on the head with his Biter weapon.

"Take this monster," Riki said. "OW! Get off!" Impa yelled. "Don't worry, I got this," Agent 3 said as she shot some ink. Unfortunately, Riki jumped off of Impa and she was hit by ink. "Thanks," Impa said.

Riki then went to hit Snake between his legs.

"Ow, my chicken nuggets," he said as he fell to the ground.

Agent 3 tried to shoot more ink but Riki was too fast. Incineroar tried to grab it but it failed. Bandana Waddle-Dee threw his spear but he missed.

Ultimately Kirby began to eat Riki and he then spat him out and Impa grabbed him by his hair.

"Meh, Meh," Riki said. "You've got a lot of nerve," Impa said. "Hold on! He's with us!" yelled a voice through the crowd.

A boy, who looked like he was 18 years old, came out of the crowd and grabbed Riki.

"Meh Meh, let go Shulk, Riki has to beat up monsters," Riki said as he was squirming. "Oy Riki!" yelled another boy who came through the crowd, "These guys are obviously not monsters." "Reyn is dumb dumb. These are definitely monsters," Riki said. "Oy! You want to say that again!?" Reyn yelled.

Then a woman came through the crowd following Reyn.

"Oh Riki, been causing more trouble?" She asked. "Sharla know Riki only trying to be the Heropon," Riki responded.

Then an older man came through the crowd and began talking to the group.

"I am terribly sorry about our friend here. He doesn't really know better. How about we treat you to some dinner for apologies?" he asked. "Well, we really don't have the time," Impa said. Then her communicator started beeping. She opened it and Fox said, "Hey Impa, looks like we'll have to leave till the night. The damage on the ship is greater than we expected."

She turned off her communicator and said, "Well, it looks like we'll accept your invitation. By the way, what's your name?" "I'm Dunban, see you till later," he responded.

Shulk, Reyn, Sharla, Dunban and Riki met at Dunban's house to chastise Riki about his behavior.

"Honestly Riki, you can't be attacking anyone you automatically dislike," Sharla said. "But weird people look weird Sharla. Riki must do what he honored to do," Riki said. "Riki, we can't judge people by their appearance. Even if they have a giant walking cat," Shulk said. "Oh, Shulk right. Riki dishonor heropon name. Riki disgrace," Riki said. "Oh don't be like that mate. You still have a chance to redeem yourself later," Reyn said.

"Well sorry but I still have to do research so I won't be able to join you tonight," Shulk said. "Again Shulk. Come on, you haven't taken a break in two weeks," Reyn said. "Sorry, but I must figure out the cause of that symbol," Shulk said.

Shulk immediately left as he was to do more research on the symbol.

Dunban's younger sister, Fiora, then came in.

"What's wrong?" She asked. "Riki caused more trouble today," Reyn responded. "Oh, again. Let me guess, Dunban invited people to dinner… again," Fiora said. "Yes, although I do find them strange," Sharla said. "How come?" Fiora asked. "Well they don't look like they're around here," Sharla said, "Also because of the walking talking tiger." "See, Riki right, they are monsters," Riki said. "They're not monsters!" Everyone yelled at him.

"Well no matter, let's begin cooking. How many are coming over?" Fiora asked. "Hm, let's see… around six," Reyn responded. "Six!? I can barely make food for three. How do you all expect me to cook for eleven!?" Fiora exclaimed. Sharla signed and said, "Don't worry, I'll help." "Yeah, I'll help too," Reyn said. "Riki can make famous orluga stew," Riki said. "Oh no you don't. Reyn, you nearly burnt the house down last time you tried to cook, and Riki, that stew is just plain disgusting," Fiora said. "Oh come on Fiora. Orluga Stew is made out of the finest Orluga's-," but before Riki could finish, Reyn kicked him away. "Sorry, my stomach can't bear him saying what was in that stew again," Reyn said as he left outside.

A couple of hours passed and our main group were walking toward Dunban's and Fiora's house. In the meantime, Impa was talking through Fox through her communicators.

"So are you sure you don't want to come?" Impa asked. "Sorry. Would really love to but we're nearly done with the ship. As long as nothing wrong happens we can… Slippy, don't touch that!" Fox yelled as in the background something had blown up. "It should be done in about half an hour, I hope," Fox said. "Okay, see you when we're ready," Impa said.

"So, what exactly are we going to talk about? Explosives? Guns?" Snake said. "We're going to ask if they know anyone with the symbol of course," Impa responded. "Then we could talk about explosives?" Snake asked. "If we have time," Impa responded. "Yes!" Snake whispered in excitement.

A rush of wind was felt through the air and Kirby turned around as if he sensed something nearby, watching them.

"Ohh," Kirby said. "Something wrong?" Impa asked. "Must be nothing," Snake said.

Kirby followed the rest of the group but in the near distance, a blue being was watching the group, following their every move. It then typed something into its wrist communicator.

Suddenly the wind began to blow faster and faster.

"Is it me or is it extremely windy now?" Snake asked. "It ain't you," Impa said as she looked around.

The group looked up to the sky to see that dark clouds began to form. From the clouds, a shadow of the Subspace Army's warship could be seen.

"No, no, no. The Subspace Army!" Impa yelled.

The Subspace Army released its drones from the warship and they began to fly toward Colony 9. They shot their weapons and they began blowing up buildings. Then a loud roar could be heard from the sky.

"What is that?" Impa asked.

From the sky, the space-pirate dragon, Ridley descended. It began to charge his stream of plasma breath.

"This does not look good," Snake said. "Run!" Impa yelled.

Ridley shot his plasma breath and the group ran from its hit. Ridley roared once more as he began to fly toward the ground. Ridley landed in front of the group and roared loudly as he was readying for a fight.

"Looks like we'll have to fight our way out," Impa said. "I've dealt with Metal Gears, this should be no challenge," Snake said. 'Incineroar!" Incineroar yelled.

Ridley shot some fireballs from his mouth. Impa creates duplicates of herself to distract Ridley. Snake crawled inside a box and placed a C4 on Ridley's back. Agent 3 shot some Ink and aimed for Ridley's face but he was too tall for her. Agent 3 switched over to a splatterscope and began aiming for Ridley's face once more. This time, she got a clear shot.

Ridley once more in anger as Snake activated the C4s and they blew up in Ridley's back. Snake threw a couple of grenades but Ridley threw them in every direction and as one was about to hit Agent 3, Kirby jumped in front of her and ate it.

Kirby jumped up into the air and began spinning very fast. Suddenly Kirby had received a bandana and a beard that resembled Snake's.

"Wow, nice look kid," Snake said. Kirby began throwing sticky grenades at Ridley and they stuck and blew up. Incineroar, who climbed up a building, jumped and slammed Ridley on the floor. Then Bandana Waddle-Dee stabbed Ridley in the chest and Ridley turned into a trophy.

"Yeah, we did!" yelled all three Impas as two of them faded away. "What is this thing?" Agent 3 asked. "Hm, same description that Samus gave. Must be the space-pirate Ridley," Snake said.

Then more explosions occurred in the background as spirits went up into the sky and were taken by the warship.

"Should we leave?" Agent 3 asked. "Fox, come in! Tell me you have the ship ready?!" Impa yelled through her communicator. "Negative! Ship is still badly damaged. SLIPPY DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Fox yelled. "Damn! We're stuck here. We have to hope they don't activate a Subspace Bomb," Snake said. "Our best bet is to wait for now," Impa said.

Back at Dunban's and Fiora's house, the whole front was filled with Subspace particles as Primids came out of the ground.

"What are these things?" Reyn asked as he destroyed one. "Who knows? But we must keep fighting," Dunban said as he slashed another. "This easy job for Heropon Riki," Riki said as he bashed one in the head. "These things, they're not from around, are they?" Fiora asked as she destroyed another. Sharla kept shooting at the Primids until her rifle until it overheated. "Doesn't seem like it," she responded. "Dunban, there's too many of them!" Fiora yelled.

Suddenly the Primids were hit by rays of light that totally destroyed the Primids.

"Melia," Dunban said in relief. "I came for supper but it seems faith had other plans," Melia said. "Well we're glad to see you too," Reyn said.

More explosions were heard in the background as the Subspace Army's warship sent out more drones.

"What is that!?" Sharla asked. "Likely the ones who started this attack," Dunban responded. "How could a ship be that enormous?! That's even bigger than the Bionis and the Mechonis!" Reyn yelled. "I don't know. We have never faced a threat this enormous," Dunban said. "We need to get to Shulk! He'll know what to do," Fiora said. "Right," everyone else said.

They all ran to get to Shulk but suddenly more Primids appeared from the ground.

"Argh! These things again!" Reyn complained. "Looks like we'll have to fight our way out," Fiora said.

They all got their weapons ready until a grenade was thrown in the middle of the Primids and a majority of them blew up.

"What was that?" Reyn questioned.

Impa immediately poofed up in front of them and stabbed a Primid as Agent 3 came up and began inking the Primids. Bandana Waddle-Dee spun his spear around to destroy a majority of the Primids. Incineroar also spun around, causing a fiery spire around him. Kirby and Snake then crawled in and placed multiple C4s down and blew up the remaining Primids.

"Sorry about that, but those things are really annoying," Impa said. "Not a problem, but what exactly are those things?" Dunban asked. "Primids. A species that was created to serve the Subspace Army," Snake responded. "And I take it that the ship up there is the Subspace Army," Fiora said. "Yes. You see we came to this world to recruit people who got a symbol two weeks ago," Agent 3 explained. "Wait? Did you say you came to this world and were looking for people who obtained a symbol two weeks ago?" Sharla asked. "I'm pretty sure that's what Agent 3 just said," Impa responded. "Well I've only been to one other world but we're the ones who got the symbol," Fiora said. "Wait, so you all obtained the symbol," Snake said. "Yes," Dunban said.

Then more explosions happened behind them.

"Okay, no time to explain but do you guys want to help us save the universe?" Impa asked. "Yes of course… Wait? Did you say save the universe?" Reyn questioned. "Yes!" Everyone yelled. "Okay, okay, fine we'll go," Reyn said.

More explosions were heard in the background as the warship kept descending to the ground.

"Fox! Tell me you have the ship ready!" Impa yelled as she ran. "Almost! Get ready for an immediate evac!" Fox yelled. "Right!" Impa yelled. "So where is this friend of yours exactly?" Snake asked. "Near the research facility. He's been trying to find out the cause of the symbol," Fiora said. "Well I can tell you now that it won't be in any book," Agent 3 said.

The group arrived at the fortress of Colony 9 where they saw that Shulk was in the middle of the fortress with his Monado.

"Shulk!" Fiora yelled. "No Fiora! Look out!" Shulk yelled back.

Suddenly the entire group was surrounded by a blur of blue. Then it stopped and as the dust cleared they saw the silhouette of someone walking towards them.

"What… What is that?" Dunban asked. "I don't know, but it doesn't seem friendly," Shulk responded.

The dust cleared out and they saw a blue animal that was standing there… menacingly as it looked at them.

"That kind of reminds me of a hedgehog," Snake said. "What's a hedgehog?" Everyone asked. "It's like a small, brown rat, type thing, but this thing, is blue and nearly the size of us," Snake explained.

The blue hedgehog ran so quickly that it could not be seen.

"Where did it go!?" Impa yelled. "Look out!" Shulk yelled. "Huh," Impa responded as she turned around and was immediately tripped to the ground. Shulk tried to slash it but it ran once more.

"It's fast," Impa said as she got up. "Stay on your guard," Shulk said, "Melia, try to freeze the floor around us." "Alright, I'll try," Melia said as she raised her staff and began to use an ice element on the floor. She was able to freeze the floor around her but now the creature was floating in the air from its shoes.

"What!? It can float too!" Reyn yelled.

The creature then charged toward them and they all dodged its attack but then it did a 180 and hit Reyn in the face.

"OW! That hurt!" Reyn yelled. "Stay back. I'll try to use my future vision," Shulk said. "You have that!?" Impa yelled.

Shulk's eyes turned blue as everything around him slowed down and he saw the creature punching him but when it did punch him, Shulk felt it in real time.

"It's too fast for you Shulk," Dunban said. "There's no way to counter the attack," Shulk said. "Now's no time to give up. Fox will be here with the evac in no time. We just have to survive," Impa said.

The blue hedgehog then spun around the group once more as more Primids broke through the ice and surrounded the group.

"These things! There's no end to them!" Reyn yelled.

The group kept taking care of the Primids as the blue hedgehog was still running circles around them. It then stopped and was charging toward Fiora.

Shulk took notice of this and ran toward Fiora as he yelled, "Fiora! Look out!"

Shulk jumped in front of Fiora as he was stabbed by sharp metal claws as it was covered by blood.

"Shulk!" Fiora screamed as her eyes widened in fear.

The hedgehog took out its claws and Shulk fell to the ground as he turned into a trophy.

"No!" Dunban yelled as he charged toward the hedgehog. "You'll pay for that!" Reyn yelled as he also charged toward the hedgehog.

The hedgehog, not paying any attention to the others, picked up Shulk's trophy and was about to attack the others as lasers were shot at it from the sky.

Three Arwings came flying in, blasting it. The hedgehog dodged Reyn's and Dunban's attack and decided to flee back to the warship. Then a bomb was placed in the middle of the fortress and it began counting down from two minutes.

The Great Fox landed in and opened its hatch.

"Come on! We need to leave now!" Impa yelled. "No! We need to fight back!" Reyn yelled. "It won't do any of us any good if we meet the same faith! We need to retreat to fight another day!" Snake yelled as he blew up some more Primids. Reyn took a deep breath and said, "Alright, you've got a point."

The entire group ran to the Great Fox as the timer was reaching one minute.

"Star Fox! Disengage and meet at the Observatory!" Fox ordered.

The three Arwings retreated and flew toward the atmosphere of the planet along with the Great Fox.

"Shulk," Fiora said sadly.

Melia looked toward the window and saw that the hedgehog was still flying toward the warship.

The Arwings and the Great Fox flew out of the planet as the Subspace Bomb reached zero and covered the entire planet in Subspace.

For this may have been a loss today, but a victory for another day.

23: Angel From Another World

Every group has come back from their missions as more recruits have joined, thanks to the groups and Meta Knight.

"So you fight evil turtles from your world?" Simon asked. "Exactly… oof," Mario said as he tumbled. "You alright?" Nana asked. "Yeah, it's just, something is right here," Mario responded.

A being turned around. He was a two dimensional being that was in black and white.

"Oh, hello there. My name is Mr. Game & Watch," he said. "Oh, hi. Couldn't see you there since you were flat," Mario said. "No problem. My fault anyway. Meta Knight sent me here as part of your army," Mr. Game & Watch said. "Wow, okay then," Mario said. "Well, see you later," Mr. Game & Watch said. "Is everyone as flat as he is?" Simon asked. "No," Mario responded.

From the Gunship both Links and Zeldas came out.

"Link, Zelda, nice to see you both arrived safely," Peach said. "Thank you," both Zelda's said. "Wait, don't tell me there's two of each of you," Daisy said. "Yes, I find it strange too," Zelda 1 said. "Just call me Sheik if it's easier for everyone," Zelda 2 said. "Well about Link, we may have gotten another recruit," Rosalina said. "What does this have to do with Link?" Zelda asked. "Well you see…" Peach said as a cartoon version of Link ran up to them. "What!?" Everyone yelled. "Yeah, it seems there is a third Link here. And he is a cartoon. We just call him Toon Link to differentiate him. I suppose we can call the kid Young Link as well," Daisy said. "Might be the best way to make sure we don't get confused," Samus said. "Gre, Gre," Greninja said as it nodded.

Marth came out of the Falcon Flier and R.O.B was the first to greet him.

"Wow, so you're the descendant of the Falchion sword," R.O.B said. "That is correct. I am Marth, pleasure to meet you," Marth said. "And manners too. You're the same as your ancestor from 500 years ago," R.O.B said. "You, you knew him?" Marth asked. "Yes, he was a part of the first Subspace War," R.O.B responded. "Incredible," Marth said.

Roy then came out as he was talking to Villager. "So you're saying that Meta Knight is a spy for us?" Roy asked. "Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. I was told that he may need to attack us if necessary to protect his role," Villager responded. "Very well. I suppose if it's for the good of the team," Roy said.

Then the Great Fox team came out as the Arwings were going inside the Great Fox.

"So you're saying that Shulk isn't dead?" Dunban asked. "Yes & no. The Continuance is very confusing," Impa responded. "Understandable," Melia said, "But that hedgehog must be killed." "There's still a chance to save Shulk, but whatever will bring you ease I suppose," Agent 3 said.

Then five drones with five packages stopped by and left five boxes.

"Hm, looks like new recruits," Mario said.

The first four boxes opened to reveal Spring-Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Min Min.

"Wow, nice arms," Orange said. "Thanks. The name's Spring-Man and these are my friends Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Min Min," Spring-Man said. "I take it Meta Knight sent you?" Samus asked. "Yes, he said to join your army to fight against the Subspace Army," Min Min explained. "Well, glad to have you on board, but who's in the other box?" Agent 4 asked.

The fifth box opened and a man came out. He looked like a boxer as he was wearing green boxing gloves.

"You guys the army?" he asked. "Yes and who are you?" Fox asked. "I'm Little Mac. Meta Knight told me to help out around here so I ended my training and decided to come here," he said. "Very well, I suppose you can help us out," Mario said.

As the Observatory was now becoming crowded with fighters, some fighters needed to be on the ships in order to fit.

"So, what now?" Mario asked. "I would recommend training but it seems we're running out of room," R.O.B said. "Wait? Who's that?" Blue asked as he pointed to something flying in the distance. "It kind of resembles an angel," Orange said.

The angel landed on the deck of the Observatory at full speed.

"Lady Palutena, told you we were going very fast," he said. "Palutena?" R.O.B questioned. "Uh, who are you?" Yoshi asked. "Oh right. I'm Pit. Servant to the Goddess Palutena and Captain of her Royal Guard," he responded. "You serve Palutena?" R.O.B asked. "Uh yeah, that is what I just said," Pit responded. "Who is that R.O.B?" Mario asked. "Palutena was a key ally who helped out in the first war. She was the only being whom we could erase the memories of the war because of her power," R.O.B explained. "Yes, and she sent me here so I could join you," Pit said. "Palutena is a strong being so her partnership will be most useful," R.O.B said. "Very well Pit, you can join," Mario said. "Great! I promise I won't let anybody down!" Pit yelled. "Okay, just keep your voice down." Reyn said.

24: Small in a Big World

"So you work for a Goddess?" Diddy Kong asked. "Yeah. It's great. I get all the floor ice cream I get," Pit said. "Ironic since we killed a god," Riki said. "You killed a god?" Geno asked. "Yes. Zanza tried to kill entire world so it was job for the heropon," Riki responded. "Okay," Geno said, "I've heard crazier before."

As the Odyssey flew in toward a new planet, it seemed that this world was filled with enormous, yet familiar objects.

"Was that… a giant bottle?" Diddy Kong asked. "I think it… OH MY!" Geno yelled as The Odyssey was heading toward a giant bulldozer.

The Odyssey's sail was hit and a bunch of the Power Moons flew away as the Odyssey skidded on the floor and it became damaged.

"Oh, Mario's going to kill me," Geno said as he looked at the damage.

The sail on the Odyssey was completely gone, a hole as big as Ridley could be seen on the roof of it.

"Any chance of it flying?" Diddy Kong asked. "No good. Without the power moons, we're stuck here," Geno responded. "So it's like me now," Pit said. "Not sure what that means but I guess," Geno said. "Don't worry, this job for Heropon," Riki said. "Okay while the rest of you go look for the power moons, I'll stay here and do something about the hole," Geno said.

The others agreed and they went on ahead to search for the power moons.

"So, what do these moons look like?" Pit asked. "Well, they're small and moon shaped with eyes," Diddy Kong responded. "Eyes?" Pit questioned. "Yes. Our world is weird, don't question it," Diddy Kong said.

Then a small red creature was walking in front of them. It did a small little wave.

"Oh no! Lady Palutena vegetables went loose again! Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Pit yelled as he separated his bow into two blades.

The red creature saw this and widened its eyes in fear and began running.

"Oh no you don't! Get back here!" Pit yelled as he chased it. "Should we follow him?" Diddy Kong asked. "No, Heropon Riki too busy now," Riki responded as he was trying to climb up a giant blade of grass. "What are you even trying to do?" Diddy Kong asked. "Trying to get moon," Riki responded.

Yes, it was true. Hanging from the blade of grass, a power moon could be seen. Diddy Kong decided to use his peanut pop-gun to make it fall to the ground and it did fall but it also bounced off Riki's head.

"Meh, meh," Riki said as he was in pain. "We got a moon!" Diddy Kong yelled.

Around a couple of hours have passed and Riki and Diddy Kong have collected around 80% of the missing Power Moons.

"Good to see you guys are back. I've mostly been able to fix the roof," Geno said. "Did you just take a piece of the bulldozer and put it on top?" Diddy Kong asked. "Don't judge the design Diddy," Geno said. "Angel boy still not back," Riki said. "RUN!" Pit screamed as he was coming out from the grass. "Oh, Pit you're back, why are you," but before Diddy Kong could finish, Pit and the red creature were being chased by a Bulborb.
"Oh my!" Geno yelled. "RUN!" Pit screamed.

The group ran as the Bulborb destroyed the Odyssey in it's rampage.

"Oh come on!" Geno yelled.

The Bulborb roared in anger and was about to charge at the group until many red creatures came in and started attacking the Bulbord as a group.

"Oh no! The vegetable infestation is worse than we thought!" Pit yelled. "Wait, hold on. Are they helping us?" Geno asked.

The creatures eradicated the Bulborb and they all stood there looking at the group.

"Uh, hi?" Geno questioned.

Then a whistle could be heard and the Pikmin all got into a line and began marching toward the bulldozer.

"What is going on?" Geno asked.

Then a small man came down.

"Hello there? Are you stranded here too?" he asked. "I suppose but can someone tell me what is going on!?" Geno yelled. "Well you see, the name's Captain Olimar. I've been stranded here but with the help of the Pikmin I've been able to survive," he responded. "Okay, so the Pikmin are those red carrot things," Diddy Kong said. "Yes, but they come in many different shapes and colors," Olimar said. "Okay, so you command them with your whistle?" Geno asked. "Yes, it seemed that the Pikmin took a liking to it," Olimar responded.

"Okay, by any chance can you order them to fix our ship?" Geno asked. "Certainly," Olimar responded.

Olimar blew his whistle and the Pikmin turned around. Olimar then made some hand signals ordering the Pikmin to repair the ship. In a matter of seconds, the Odyssey was returned to its original state. Even all of the Power Moons were returned.

"Wow, quick little buggers," Geno said. "So you come from another world?" Olimar asked. "Yeah. Why?" Pit asked. "Well you see, as I said before I've been stranded here so I'm wondering if I can join you," Olimar said. "I mean you're the only one who can control the Pikmin so I guess," Geno said. "Perfect," Olimar said.

The group all went into the Odyssey as Olimar filled it with Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, White and Rock Pikmin. The Odyssey was on its way out.

25: The Super Fighting Robot

The Falcon Flier landed in a suburban world. One where it was filled with people and robots. It seems that robots seem to be a popular thing in this world.

"GREETINGS PEOPLE! MEET THE FANTASTIC! LEGENDARY! HEROIC! CAAAAAAPTAAAAAIN FAAAAAALCOOOOON!" Captain Falcon yelled as he jumped out of the Falcon Flier and did a pose. "Does he do this every time?" Mr. Game & Watch asked. "Unfortunately, yes," Daisy responded. "It also got longer," Lucario said.

"I can't believe Fox made me come here," Slippy said. "You're only here because you kept breaking Fox's ship," Agent 4 said.

"So any idea who we're supposed to find here?" Spring-Man asked. "Assuming that there are a lot of robots here, I suppose a robot," Daisy responded. "Well, no time to lose then," Agent 4 said.

The group walked around town and everyone kept thinking that Slippy, Game & Watch, Spring-Man, Lucario and Agent 4 were robots.

"We don't look mechanical, do we?" Agent 4 asked. "I mean with the weird get up, I suppose you kind of do," Daisy responded.

Then a giant mechanical dinosaur crashed from a building and was going on a rampage.

"Oh my, it's a dinosaur!" Mr. Game & Watch yelled. "Looks like we'll have to fight," Daisy said.

Then at that moment, the dinosaur had a bomb stuck to it and was blown up. A blue robot had appeared and was ready to fight the dinosaur. The robot threw some saws at the dinosaur, cutting its legs off. Then shot some fire from its hands and burned the dinosaur down.

"What just happened?" Mr. Game & Watch questioned. "I think that kid just saved us." Agent 4 responded. "Hi, the name's Mega Man," he said. "Hi, I'm Daisy!" Daisy yelled.

"Daisy, please don't yell," Captain Falcon said. "Oh, I remember you. You're the guy who yelled and now you're all over the news," Mega Man said.

On a giant T.V monitor in a skyscraper, it said, "Breaking News! A Crazy Lunatic causes the entire world's eardrums to break! It is said that this guy's name is Captain Falcon and he should be considered armed and dangerous."

"At least I'm on T.V," Captain Falcon said. "Not for the reason you want to be on dude," Agent 4 said. "I should arrest you, but I'll give you a warning," Mega Man said. "Thank you Robot dude," Daisy said. "Still, we could use some help?" Spring-Man asked. "Help? Well I'm the bot for the job," Mega Man said. "Then I suppose you can tell us if anyone has this symbol?" Agent 4 asked.

Mega Man took a closer look at the symbol then realized something.

"Why do you want to know?" Mega Man said with a concerned expression. "Well you see…" Daisy stopped as Mega Man was raising his arm cannon. "You're robots made by Dr. Wily. You must be terminated," he said.

Mega Man shot plasma out of his cannon but Spring-Man crossed his ARMS in time to make a shield. Agent 4 then super jumped into the air and landed behind Mega Man. She then tried to shoot ink at him but Mega Man created a shield out of leaves.

"What!?" Agent 4 yelled.

Mega Man then created pillars of fire between him and the group. Mr. Game & Watch then took out a bucket and splashed some water that was black & white.

Lucario, using the power of aura, immediately teleported and grabbed Mega Man by the arms.

"I don't know who you think we are, but we're not the bad guys," Lucario said. "Oh yeah, he has the power to make eardrums break," Mega Man said as he pointed at Captain Falcon, "Then that girl can shoot ink, there's a 2-D guy there, there's a talking frog, there's a guy with long arms and a dog who can teleport." "Okay, fair point, but you need to listen," Lucario said.

Then the whole sky began turning dark red as the wind began blowing quickly and loud.

"No!" Lucario yelled. "What, what is it? Another trick?" Mega Man asked. "The Subspace Army," Agent 4 said as she prepared her blaster.

Then a saucer came flying down from the descending warship.

"Is that?" Mega Man questioned. "Why yes, my arch-nemesis, it is I, Dr. Wily!" he yelled through the speakers. "Wily! Why did you send these robots here!?" Mega Man yelled back. "So you really think that these goody two shoes are with me? You must be joking," Dr. Wily responded. "Wait, so they're not robots?" Mega Man asked. "Told you so," Daisy said. "Whoops," Mega Man said.

"No matter, you will all be dead soon enough!" Dr. Wily yelled.

The saucer dropped some Subspace Particles on the ground and they began to take shape. They appeared as Ness, Ivysaur, Urbosa, Ike, Dixie Kong, and Jigglypuff.

"What have you done to them!?" Lucario yelled. "Why, we perfected them," Dr. Wily responded.

Spring-Man started off by sending a punch to Jigglypuff, launching it away. Then Ness shot fire from his fingers but Mr. Game & Watch caught it with his bucket. Ivysaur then threw some vine whips but Lucario grabbed them before they could hit.

"Ivysaur! Don't you remember me!?" Lucario yelled. Ivysaur made no sound, it just continued attacking.

Ike then charged toward Lucario but Daisy bombarded him with her body. Slippy kept shooting his blaster and Urbosa kept blocking the shots with her daybreaker shield.

Then the drones from the warship began descending at fast speeds and began crashing into buildings.

"Well, see you later Mega Man, muahahaha!" Dr. Wily yelled as he flew back to the warship.

Mega Man looked around to see all the crash bombers blowing up the buildings. Then from the warship, a tractor beam fell onto the ground. From the beam of light, Ganondorf came out.

"Ganondorf," Daisy said. "Who?" Lucario asked. "Oh, he's just the leader of the Subspace Army, no biggie," Daisy responded.

"I see my reputation has caught on," Ganondorf said. Captain Falcon charged at Ganondorf and yelled. "FALCON PUNCH!" but as the punch impacted, Ganondorf caught it with ease and threw Captain Falcon towards the rest of the group.

"Pathetic, this is the army you all raised. Weaklings, all of you! You have no spot in our universe! For it is time to unveil the true masterminds behind the Subspace Emissary!" Ganondorf yelled.

A giant hatch opened from the warship and a sinister laughter and cackle could be heard.

"What, what is that?" Lucario asked, "I sense their aura. It's tremendously strong." "That is right, meet the Master Hand and Crazy Hand," Ganondorf said.

Two hands came out from the hatches. One moved more formally while the other was twirling its fingers around.

"I think this calls for an escape," Spring-Man said. "Agreed," Captain Falcon said as he called the Falcon Flier from his wrist.

The Master Hand descended quickly to the ground and charged toward the group. The entire group jumped to the side to dodge the attack. The Crazy Hand then landed on the ground and started banging the floor, causing a rupture in the nearby vicinity.

The entire group fell to the ground.

"These guys are tough," Lucario said, "Where's the freaking ship!?" "On it's way," Captain Falcon responded. "It sure is taking its time," Mr. Game & Watch said.

The Master Hand then came back and grabbed Daisy from the ground.

"Hey, let go!" Daisy screamed. "Don't worry, I'll save you," Slippy said as he began blasting the Master Hand. Unfortunately, the Crazy Hand took notice of this and grabbed Slippy the same.

"Slippy! Daisy!" Lucario yelled.

The hands crushed both of them, turning them into trophies. They dropped them on the ground and some remaining Subspace Particles covered both trophies and duplicated both of them.

"What the, they are, they're clones," Lucario said in realization. The Falcon Flier had arrived in time to pick up the group.

"Quickly!" yelled Agent 4 as she super jumped toward the Falcon Flier. "Time to go!" Spring-Man yelled as he grabbed Game & Watch and Lucario and extended his arm to the Falcon Falcon and grabbed a hold of it.

Mega Man decided to take this opportunity and jumped to the Falcon Flier and rode along for the ride.

Captain Falcon immediately initiated the thrusters and the Falcon Flier flew off quickly toward the Comet Observatory as another world became a part of the Subspace Emissary.

26: Enemy or Deception?

Samus' Gunship landed on a modern looking world. Much like yours to be honest, except for one difference. The beings that lived in this world. More creatures like to say the least.

"So you all have been doing this for a couple of weeks now?" Fiora asked. "Basically. World Travel hasn't been too different for me, but I usually don't pick up people when I'm on my missions," Samus explained.

"So this Subspace Emissary, do they believe themselves to be gods?" Melia asked. "Poyo, Po Poyo, Poyo," Kirby said. "Sorry Kirby, we can't really understand you," Little Mac said. "So, is the answer yes or no?" Melia asked. "It's complicated. Some do believe themselves to be all powerful, while others have their own ambitions," Samus responded. "And they're all working together?" Fiora asked. "Yes," Samus responded.

The group exited the Gunship and found many strange landmarks.

"Why are there so many loop de loops?" Little Mac questioned. "Doesn't matter, just as long as we find the fighters here," Samus said.

"Hm, I recall the R.O.B told us to find a genius who can create a tracking device for such problems," Melia said. "You're really high class. But yes, that is what the robot said," Samus said. "Couldn't R.O.B just do it himself? He's really ancient, that's all," Little Mac said. "Unfortunately, we need advanced tech, and R.O.B is too ancient for that," Samus explained. "Fair point," Little Mac said.

The group walked around for a bit to find any sign of life, but there were mostly animals and loop de loops.

"Literally nothing. Great," Little Mac said. "I mean, we've only searched the nearest area, we still have to search the entire world," Fiora said.

Suddenly, Primids began rising from the ground.

"These things again," Melia said. "Yes! Fight time!" Little Mac yelled in excitement.

But at that very moment, a majority of the Primids were taken down by a blue flash.

"Uh, what was that?" Little Mac asked.

The rest of the Primids were taken out in a mere instance as a blue ball landed on a rock nearby.

"Is that?" Melia questioned as she was squinting.

The blue ball rose up and it was the same creature that attacked our heroes on Bionis.

"You!" Melia exclaimed as she shot a fireball from her staff and the creature disappeared in smoke.

"Did you get it?" Fiora asked. "I, I think so," Melia said. "Wow, I think you got it too," said a voice behind them. "What!?" Melia yelled as the entire group turned to find the creature standing behind them.

"Boy, you guys seem on edge. Is that how you treat those who save you?" he questioned. Melia was about to shoot something else from her staff until Samus stopped her, "It's no use, it's too fast for us." Melia put down her staff in agreement.

"Well, see you guys later," the creature said as it began to walk away.

"I thought you guys said that attacked you?" Little Mac asked. "It did, yet it's not right now," Melia said. "Perhaps we should ask it," Samus suggested. "You sure that's a good idea? What if it's deceiving us?" Fiora questioned. "Only one way to find out," Samus responded, "Hey, blue hedgehog thing!"

The Blue Hedgehog turned around and began walking back to the group.

"Yes?" he asked. "Why didn't you attack us like you did in our world?" Fiora asked. "I'm not sure what you're talking about? I've never met any of you in my entire life," he responded. "A bit more chatty that last time," Melia thought to herself.

"Okay, listen hedgehog," Samus said before she was interrupted. "Please, I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog," he said.

"Okay? Sonic, we need your help," Samus said. "Let me guess, you all come from another world and you're looking for people with that symbol," Sonic said. "How, how did you know that?" Little Mac questioned. "Lucky guess I suppose, also Tails told me," Sonic responded. "Who's Tails?" Samus asked. "Just a friend of mine. Wanna meet him?" Sonic asked. "I guess," Little Mac said. "Hold on, we need to discuss this," Samus said.

The group huddled together and began whispering to each other.

"You sure we can trust him?" Melia questioned. "He is our best lead," Samus responded. "It's just, we saw him kill Shulk, it's not like we can forgive him that easily," Fiora said. "Yet he doesn't seem to remember what happened," Little Mac said. Melia gave out a breath then said, "I suppose you are right, but if he does anything suspicious, we'll kill him." "FIne," Samus said.

The group decided to follow Sonic to meet Tails.

27: Trusting Issues

The group followed Sonic to a nearby shack. Although Melia and Fiora do not believe this to be a good idea.

"So, you're thinking the same thoughts?" Fiora asked in a whisper. "Yes, unfortunately we can't do anything since he runs fast," Melia whispered back. "What's with all the whispering?" Sonic asked as he was walking beside them. Melia gave a scoff and said, "Nothing of your concern." "Okay, well we're here," Sonic said.

The group looked at him with a curious expression.

"Uh, this is just a random shack. I seriously doubt that a genius lives here," Fiora said. "Oh, just wait and see," Sonic said as he pushed a button behind the rock.

Suddenly the whole ground started to shake as the shack sank to the ground and an entire facility grew from the ground. Everyone had their mouths wide open in surprise.

"Told you so," Sonic said as he entered the facility.

The rest of the group entered the facility and there were many inventions that were created inside.

"So as I said, my best friend Tails lives here so try not to mess up anything," Sonic said.

They made it inside a workshop where a two tailed fox was working on a machine.

"Hey Tails! Got some people who want to meet you," Sonic said. "Oh hey Sonic, just working on more stuff," Tails said. "Yeah, yeah, Imma just go get some chili dogs," Sonic said as he left with Fiora and Melia still keeping an eye on him.

"So, I take it you all are from other worlds," Tails said. "Okay seriously, how do you know that?" Samus asked. "Simple, this device here can detect an organism's origin," Tails responded, "Also you did kind of come in a spaceship." "Okay, that still doesn't explain how you know that we're from multiple worlds," Fiora said. "Oh, well there's a device here that detects large energy readings in the middle of space, and that energy of yours, whatever it is, is very powerful and attractive," Tails explained.

"A friend of ours sent us here to…" but before Samus could finish, Tails took out a small gadget. "Here you go, an energy tracker, this should allow you to track anyone that has the same amount of energy as we do," Tails said. "Wow, you really are a genius, aren't you," Little Mac said. "Just one of the best," Tails said.

Sonic came back as he was eating a triple cheese chili dog, "So… what did I miss?" he asked.

"Okay, so Tails, as far as I'm aware, you're a valuable asset," Samus said, "So we would like to recruit you and your friends as part of our army." "Hm, what exactly are we fighting for?" Tails asked. "Let's just say, the universe to say the least," Little Mac said. "Hold on! I understand our cause here, but we're not going to recruit him," Fiora said as she pointed to Sonic. "Trust issues much?" Sonic questioned as he kept munching on the chili dog.

"Precisely, we're not willing to trust him. He killed our friend," Melia said. "Listen lady, as I said before, I don't know any of you," Sonic said. "Oh come on, Sonic is not that bad, and I am 100% sure he would never do something like that," Tails said in defense.

Then at that moment, a red being came crashing into the facility.

"Oh, is that all you got!?" he yelled. "Oh hey Knuckles, what's going on?" Tails asked. "Well it seems Sonic has gone berserk!" Knuckles yelled and then turned around and said, "Oh hey Sonic. Anyway… SONIC!? But you're out there!" "So you're saying that Sonic is attacking outside, as Sonic is in here?" Tails questioned. "I'm not sure what's going on but I'm going to go and save the day," Knuckles said as he ran back outside.

"Hm, better go see what's going on," Tails said. "Here, we'll join you," Little Mac said. "I'll join once I finish this chili dog," Sonic said as he took another bite off the chili dog.

The group and Tails went to go see outside and found that Knuckles was once again launched to their spot. They also saw another hedgehog fighting what seemed to be Sonic.

"Shadow!?" Tails yelled. "No time to talk," Shadow said in his edgy tone.

Shadow teleported behind Sonic but Sonic caught up to this and grabbed Shadow by the neck and threw him on top of Knuckles.

"Hm, so it seemed that we were right," Melia said. "No! That's impossible! Sonic would never do anything like this!" Tails yelled.

Sonic then heard them and began charging at them. It then punched all of our heroes and separated them. It then focused on Melia.

"Melia! Look out!" Fiora yelled.

Melia tried to ice the floor but it was ineffective.

Sonic once again punched Melia and she was launched toward a tree. Sonic was about to get stabbed by Sonic. Melia closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable. But nothing happened to her.

She opened her eyes and she saw something she could not believe. "So-Sonic?" She questioned.

Yes indeed, it seemed like another Sonic stopped the evil one from stabbing Melia. Knuckles then used this opportunity to punch the evil Sonic and he was launched.

"How?" Fiora questioned as she stood up.

Suddenly the evil Sonic began glitching until a mechanical body had appeared. It stood up and this Sonic had red eyes. It then charged toward the real Sonic and pinned him to the wall.

"How's it going, Metal?" Sonic asked as he was pushing Metal Sonic back.

Shadow teleported besides Metal Sonic and kicked it.

"A robot Sonic?" Samus questioned. "Those, those claws," Fiora said in realization. "They're the same ones," Melia added.

"Metal Sonic, a robot created by our arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman," Tails explained. "So, that thing is the one who took Shulk from us," Melia said as she stepped forward.

Metal Sonic then screamed in anger and began charging at the group. Sonic boosted at him and met him halfway.

"That thing, will not get away," Melia said as she shot a fire ball at Metal Sonic. Fiora then charged at it and slashed it with her knives. Metal Sonic backed away, then through a speaker a voice began talking.

"Hohohoho! I see you noticed through our deception," it said. "Egghead!" Sonic yelled. "I see you finally recognize me. Hohohoho! The Subspace Army will be victorious! Metal Sonic! Attack," Dr. Eggman yelled.

Metal Sonic gave out another scream and ran around very quickly.

It tries to slash Fiora with its claws but Fiora counters them with her knives.

"You, you will pay for what you did to Shulk!" Fiora yelled.

Knuckles and Little Mac jumped behind Metal Sonic and punched it to the ground. Melia then used an earth element and made it jump into the air. Tails then grabbed Fiora and flew her into the air.

"Ready?" Tails asked. "Right," Fiora said in agreement.

Tails spun around very fast and threw Fiora toward Metal Sonic. Fiora stabbed Metal Sonic in the chest and before it could blow up, Sonic jumped in and caught her. All that remained was a trophy of Metal Sonic.

"We, we did it," Fiora said. "Still, we're no closer to finding Shulk," Melia said. "Well, you're welcome," Sonic said. "Sonic, we have to apologize for accusing you," Fiora said. "Yes, we must," Melia said. "No biggie, happens all the time," Sonic said. "And that's true. It even happened with Shadow here," Tails added. "Well, it would be an honor to have you all on the team," Samus said. "Well, I suppose," Knuckles said. "Hm, alright. As long as it gets me closer to taking a rest," Shadow said. "SONIC!" yelled a female voice. "Oh no," Sonic said. "What is it? Bad guy? Monster?" Little Mac asked. "Worse. Amy," Sonic responded.

Suddenly a pink hedgehog appeared and hugged Sonic.

"Oh Sonic! I missed you," Amy said. "*sigh* Yes Amy, I missed you too," Sonic said. "Well, you guys said you needed ships, right?" Tails asked. "Why yes. You don't happen to have one?" Melia asked.

Tails grabbed a remote and suddenly the entire facility began rising into the air. It turned into a giant spaceship.

"Wow. Impressive," Samus said. "And I already have your ship inside. It can fit an entire army. I call it the X Tornado Mark V," Tails said. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's got kick some butt!" Little Mac yelled.

28: The Dog, Duck and Mii

The three groups returned from their missions and the first one to return was The Odyssey.

"Hm, looks better than new," Mario said.

The hatch opened and Mario said, "Why hello there new…" but before he could finish, he was trampled by the Pikmin.

"Sorry, the Pikmin really don't like tight spaces," Olimar said as he walked past. "Yes, heropon Riki came back victorious," Riki said as he jumped from the Odyssey and landed on Mario's head. "Oh come on, you're telling me there's no floor ice cream," Pit said. "Not sure what that is," Diddy Kong said. "You guys have got to warn me next time," Mario said.

The Falcon Flier came back and Captain Falcon once did a pose.

"He does this a lot?" Mega Man asked. "Yes," everyone else responded. "Oh, okay," Mega Man said as he walked away.

Then finally, the X Tornado Mark V made its debut.

"Wow! That is a ship," Fox said with a surprised tone. "Never seen anything like it," Peppy said. "Wonder whose it is?" Reyn asked.

The hatch opened and Samus, Little Mac, Melia, Fiora, and Kirby were the first to come out.

"Wow, who did you recruit?" Mario asked. "Oh, right. Yes, that's the thing," Fiora said but before she could continue, Sonic and his friends came out.

"Wow. I know I've been to space before but this seems very different," Sonic said. You!" Everyone yelled as they all used their weapons against Sonic.

"Am I missing something?" Mega Man asked. "Don't ask me, I'm new too," Olimar responded.

"Did, did you get it?" Sharla asked. "Yeah, I think so," Reyn said. "Wow, you guys really are on edge," Sonic said as he was now standing behind them.

"Hold on! Hold on! We can explain," Fiora said.

They explained what had happened in Sonic's world.

"So you're saying that a robot that was built to look like him was the one who clawed Shulk?" Reyn asked. "Yes, and we dealt with that robot," Fiora said.

"Alright, I got one trophy here," Knuckles said as he put down the trophy of Metal Sonic.

"That there is the robot? I mean the claws look the same," Dunban said. "Metal Sonic. A robot created by a guy named Doctor Robotnik. Makes sense. It was said that it could use a hologram to make it look like its counterpart," Snake explained.

"Alright, we'll trust it for now, but don't think this means we're friends," Reyn said as he pointed to Shadow. "Wrong hedgehog," Shadow said. "Oh, sorry mate," Reyn said as he pointed to Sonic. "No probs buddy," Sonic said. "That's not what I, oh never mind," Reyn said.

"Okay, I see we have no space at all. Especially with all the Pikmin," Rosalina said, "We need to fix this, now." "Don't worry, I got this," Tails said as he grabbed a box and threw it in the middle of space.

Suddenly an entire new building and a bridge connected to the Comet Observatory appeared.

The group went inside the building, finding that there was now more than enough space throughout the entire Comet Observatory.

"Wow, fascinating," Rosalina said. "Finally! Enough space to stretch my wings!" Kazooie yelled as she finally came out of Banjo's backpack.

In a group table that Tails had already designed, the entire group was discussing their next plans.

"Okay, by my calculations, we have approximately five more worlds to find fighters in," Tails explained. "Five? Really. I would've thought there would have been more," Zelda said. "I mean we do have 73 fighters here, and that's not including any of your friends that have been captured," Tails responded. "Fair point mate," Reyn said. "Still, we must be cautious. This Subspace Army is a volatile force so we'll need more help," Mario said.

Then a dog barked.

"Isabelle, is that you?" Samus asked. "No, I'm sure it is not," Isabelle responded.

Then a duck quacked.

"Okay, first a dog, then a duck, what is it?" Samus questioned.

Then an explosion happened.

"Okay, we'll go see what it is while everyone else stays here," Mario said as he, Link and Sonic went to go figure out what happened.

"Oh no, I know who it is," Mario said as he stepped outside. "Really? Who?" Sonic asked. "Some new recruits," Mario said, "Totally forgot about them."

Then a dog jumped on top of Link and began licking.

"That's very gross," Sonic said. "Hey Mario," said a boy that was about the same height as Mario. "Hey Brawler, Gunner and Swordfighter are fighting again?" Mario asked. "Yeah, they argue a lot, but to be fair we are siblings so," Brawler said.

Link grabbed both Gunner and Swordfighter.

"I TOLD YOU SO!" Swordfighter screamed. "JUST GROW UP ALREADY!" Gunner yelled back. "STOP FIGHTING ALREADY!" Brawler screamed. "Wow, you guys are really childish," Sonic said. The dog barked and the duck quacked in agreement.

"Oh yeah, who are you supposed to be?" Swordfighter said. "The name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog," Sonic responded. "Sounds stupid," Gunner said. "Listen lady and these guys, I, really, don't, care what you think," Sonic said.

So the Mii Siblings stopped fighting and they all got along for now.

"Okay, so we have a lot of fighters, yet we still have to warn others," R.O.B said. "Agreed, a majority of us should stay, while the others go recruit other fighters," Mario suggested. "Sounds like a plan," Knuckles said.

Fiora raised her hand to suggest something.

"Uh, yes?" Mario asked. "Well you see, when Shulk was still with us, we had visited another world. Perhaps they can help us," Fiora said. "Alright, who is it?" Mario asked. "I really don't remember the name, but our friends Rex, Pyra, Mythra," Fiora said but was stopped by R.O.B. "Mythra?" R.O.B questioned. "Do you know her?" Dunban asked. "Yes. She was a part of the first Subspace War. I doubt she would remember, but she was a valuable ally," R.O.B said. "Great, let's go meet this Mythra and whoever else," Samus said.

29: A Classic Street Fight

On their search for the world Mythra lived on, Tails, Toon Link, Sharla, and Min Min ended up in a world that seemed to be modern and dusky.

"I'm not quite sure this is the right place, Tails?" Min Min questioned. "Yeah, I don't think so either but there are fighters here so we might as well look for them," Tails said.

"So, do you talk?" Sharla asked Toon Link. He just tilted his head. "I take it that's a no," Sharla said.

They all arrived at a castle named Suzaku Castle. They went inside of it where they saw that multiple people were fighting each other for training.

"Uh, Hi. I want to ask something?" Tails asked. "Go ahead," said a fighter with a red, sleeveless keikogi. "Have you by any chance seen anyone with this symbol?" Tails asked as he pulled up a hologram. "Hm, now that you mention, I believe my friend Ryu obtained along with me. The name's Ken Masters, nice to meet you," he responded. "Nice to meet you too, now where can we find this Ryu?" Tails asked. "Well I can show you to him right now. He's training on the rooftops along with Chun Li," Ken said. "That would be great," Tails said. "Well come along then," Ken said.

They reached the rooftops where two fighters were fighting each other.

"You see, the one in the white is Ryu. The other one is Chun Li. She also got the symbol," Ken explained, "Hm, looks like we'll have to wait till they finish."

"Round 1! Fight!" I announced in a different voice.

"You guys heard that too, right?" Min Min asked. "Oh yeah, that happens all the time here," Ken responded. "Oh, alright," Min Min said.

Ryu and Chun Li were fighting each other.

"Shoryuken!" Ryu yelled as he did an uppercut in the air. Chun Li dodged and did many lightning fast kicks. Ryu was hit but not done. "Hadoken!" he yelled. Chun Li was hit. "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" Ryu yelled as he spun toward Chun Li.

Chun Li was hit many times and she went for a kick but Ryu shielded it with his own kick.

"Round 1! Finish!" I announced.

"Well, that was good practice," Ryu said as he shook Chun Li's hand. "You sure you weren't going easy on me? Again?" Chun Li asked. "Talk is cheap," Ryu said.

Ken then walked up to them along with the rest of the group.

"Hey Ryu, got some people who want to talk to us," Ken said. "Hm, very well, but remember this, Talk is Cheap," Ryu said.

"Yeah, so Ken here tells us you all received a symbol," Tails said, "So we would like to recruit you in our army." "Army? For what?" Ryu asked. "You see, there's a threat to our entire universe so we need more help and you three look like perfect candidates," Min Min said. "The entire universe?" Ken questioned. "Yes, allow us to explain," Sharla said.

The group explained the entire Continuance to Ryu, Ken and Chun Li. Then they moved on to the Subspace Army.

"So this Army is powerful enough to take on worlds at a moment?" Ryu asked. "Yes, they've already done so in our worlds, but with your help, we can take them down," Min Min said. "Hm, very well, we'll join you," Ryu said.

At that moment, an explosion was heard in the middle of the nearby town.

"Let's first check on that," Chun Li said as they all ran to town.

30: The Devil and The Witch

Tails, Toon Link, Sharla, Min Min, Ryu, Ken and Chun Li arrived at the location of the smoke.

"Yes, this was recently. Still warm," Chun Li said.

Ryu then sensed something and threw a hadoken toward the smoke trail.

"Tsk, tsk, is that really how your mum taught you to treat a lady," said a femenime voice. "Who are you?" Chun Li asked. "Why, didn't your little friends tell you about us," she responded. "You're part of the Subspace Army. For what reason. Conquering or what?" Tails asked. "No, for one simple answer. I heard you all had a little angel friend. Tell me where he is, and perhaps I'll spare the rest of you, for I am the Umbra Witch, Bayonetta," she responded. "Not in our lives," Tails said. "Hm, very well then. I'm sure I can handle you all, but a little, devilish, friend wanted to meet you first," Bayonetta said.

A figure walked out of the smoke besides Bayonetta. This one was a shirtless man with white fighting pants.

"Who are you?" Ryu asked. "Hm, pathetic. This is what those villains had to fear. They remind me of how weak my father and son were," he said. "Hey, you didn't answer his question," Ken said. "Hm, I am Kazuya Mishima, and you are all no match for me," he responded.

Kazuya got into a fighting pose, ready to fight.

"Don't worry, I got this," Ken said as he charged Kazuya head on. "Ken! Wait!" Ryu yelled but it was too late.

Ken charged at Kazuya but Kazuya grabbed him by the neck and buried him into the ground.

"Hm, pathetic. Who is next?" Kazuya asked. "I'll deal with him. Take on the other one," Ryu said. "Right," Chun Li said in agreement.

Ryu and Kazuya were now walking in circles in a classic stand off. Just waiting to see who will be the one to take the first move.

Kazuya charged at Ryu but Ryu dodged the attack. Kazuya then jumped and hit the spot where Ryu jumped from. Ryu then kicked him from above.

"Finally, a worthy opponent," Kazuya said. "Talk is cheap," Ryu said. "Agreed," Kazuya said as charged once again at Ryu.

He grabbed Ryu by the leg but Ryu yelled, "Hadoken!" and sent an energy blast at Kazuya, who then let him go. Ryu skidded on the floor then charged at Kazuya and yelled, "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" and spun around quickly. Kazuya grabbed the spinning Ryu and tried to throw him into the air but Ryu was spinning too fast.

"Hm, maybe it's time I take it to the next level!" Kazuya yelled as he began glowing purple.

Kazuya transformed into a devil form. He roared and shot a laser at Ryu's chest in which Ryu began glowing dark.

"Pathetic! Weak! You have no place in our universe!" Kazuya yelled.

Ryu then transformed. Ryu's clothes were now black and sagged. His bandana now a dark red.

"It's too late to turn back now. Behold the power of Satsui!" Ryu yelled. "Finally! Show me your true form!" Kazuya yelled as he charged toward Ryu. Ryu did the same and they both were punching each other.

Ryu teleported behind and began punching him rapidly.

"Fight me! There's no place for the weak to exist!" Ryu yelled. Kazuya got up and said, "Then you will die."

Kazuya grew wings and shot a laser blast once again but Ryu shielded it with his arm.

"Hadoken!" Ryu yelled. "The Devil in me will make sure you die!" Kazuya yelled as he charged Ryu as he was flying.

"No, this isn't the way," Ryu said as he transformed back and began glowing white, "True Power, lies within." Ryu was now concentrating his power in his hand as Kazuya grabbed Ryu and began flying high above into the air.

Kazuya then deep dived into the ground at fast speeds.

"HADOKEN!" Ryu yelled as he uppercutted Kazuya in the air.

They landed on the ground and Ryu said, "As long as I stand, I will continue fighting.

Kazuya then fell to the ground and turned into a trophy.

The group was struggling to fight Bayonetta as she summoned creatures that were made out of her hair.

"This woman is too fast!" Min Min yelled, "I can't hit her!"

Sharla was using her ether blaster at a fast rate until it overheated.

"Damn!" she yelled. Bayonetta then took out a Subspace Scythe and slashed Sharla, turning her into a trophy.

"No! Why!? Why are you doing all this!?" Min Min yelled as she was now rapidly punching the demons of Bayonetta. "Simple, because we want too. Now if you can all be lads and die now," Bayonetta responded. "As long as good remains, it will never die!" Chun Li yelled. "Hm, well I doubt you all noticed the surprise I gave all of you," Bayonetta said.

The group then turned around and heard the a Subspace Bomb had been activated.

"Oh no! Quick! We must leave!" Min Min yelled.

The group quickly ran to the ship and immediately left the planet's atmosphere as another world became a part of the Subspace Emissary.

31: The Key to Victory

It was mere weeks ago that The Continuance had begun. At this moment, the guardians of light had been battling the forces of darkness, to prevent the summoning of KINGDOM HEARTS by Master Xehanort, leader of Organization XIII.

In your universe, you witnessed Master Xehanort striking down a princess of heart, Kairi, and sending her adrift into another world, paving the way for the disappearance of a guardian of light, Sora, but in this universe, things did not go according to Xehanort's plans.

After a battle between Sora, Riku and Mickey and Xehanort's counterparts, Xehanort had obtained twelve keys of darkness, in order to summon KINGDOM HEARTS.

"Twelve keys we have now," Xehanort said, "Leaving just one more!"

The Guardians of Light were breathing heavily after their fierce battle. Xehanort had raised his keyblade to the dark, clouded sky and shot a beam of darkness. A light began to drift down.

Sora was still breathing heavily as Xehanort said, "Now, Sora. Darkness and light's final clash." Sora breathed heavily but then gasped in realization.

Xehanort gave a small, sinister chuckle as it had been realized that he had Kairi, floating right beside him, unconscious.

"Kairi!" Sora yelled. "You require motivation," Xehanort said as Kairi floated closer to the edge of his stone pillar.

Sora began to run up the pillar to grab Kairi. Xehanort was mere seconds away from striking Kairi down to allow Sora's darkness to create the thirteenth darkness, until the burst of energy from the Continuance had arrived, giving all of the Guardians of Light the symbol of the Continuance. When Xehanort struck down Kairi, she merely turned into a trophy, dropping to the floor. Then the light from the sky faded away.

"Kairi!" Sora yelled. "Wh-What. This, this was not supposed to happen?" Xehanort questioned.

Sora made it to the top and swung his keyblade toward Xehanort but Xehanort blocked it with his own.

"Why her!?" Sora yelled. "This was not my plan," Xehanort whispered to himself.

Xehanort proved stronger than Sora, even in his distraught state, and threw Sora toward the ground.

"Why!?" Sora yelled. "What did, what happened?" Xehanort questioned himself. "Xehanort!" Riku yelled as he jumped on the pillar and swung his keyblade at Xehanort. He also blocked this and threw Riku to the ground.

"You'll pay!" Mickey yelled as he came up, "Ultima!"

A large beam of energy came from Mickey's Keyblade and this time, Xehanort was unable to stop the spell. As Xehanort fell to the ground of his pillar, he became a spirit and just floated up in the endless sky.

"Kairi!" Sora yelled as he turned over her trophy. "Sora," Riku said. "Kairi!" Sora kept yelling.

Sora accidentally touched the base of Kairi's trophy and she began to glow. The three of them looked at them in a surprise.

Kairi opened her eyes slowly.

"Sora, what happened?" she asked. "Kairi!" Sora yelled as he jumped in to give her a hug. "Strange, it seemed like even Xehanort was not planning this," Mickey said. "He was definitely not in the right mind when we attacked. It seemed he was distraught," Riku explained.

The other Guardians of Light had run towards the four of them.

"Sora! Did you see what happened!" Donald yelled. "What happened?" Sora asked. "It seemed we all received a symbol out of nowhere. It was after the light of KINGDOM HEARTS had disappeared," Aqua responded. "A symbol?" Mickey questioned.

We now skip forward to present day, where the Guardians of Light were meeting with retired Keyblade Master, Yen Sid, in his tower.

"Any idea what the symbol could possibly mean Master Yen Sid?" Mickey asked. "Hm, I have done my research throughout my books, yet there is no information on this matter," Yen Sid responded. "Then what could it mean?" Sora asked.

"Mickey, Riku, you said Xehanort did not know of this phenomenon?" Yen Sid asked. "When we battled him, he definitely did not seem in the right mind, as if something distracted him, something that he didn't expect," Mickey responded. "Then I fear we may be dealing with an outside force," Yen Sid said. "An outside force?" Sora questioned.

"I must think about this outside. I recommend that all of you try to find any force that may be powerful enough to do such a thing in the books," Yen Sid said.

Everyone nodded in agreement as Yen Sid decided to get some fresh air outside. Each Guardian of Light grabbed a book and began reading within them. A few hours have passed and no new information was learned on this.

"Nothing," Axel said, "Are we even sure any of this stuff is in here?" "We did some research back home, but it's all the same," Terra said. "What if it's not here?" Ventus said. "What are you implying Ven?" Aqua asked. "What if the information we need to find is not in any book, but in some kind of cave," Ventus responded. "Might be our best bet to find what we're looking for," Xion said. "So our best bet is to separate and look within each world," Roxas said.

Then as they all agreed on this plan, multiple footsteps could be heard coming up the steps of the wizard tower.

"Does anyone hear that?" Terra asked. "Yes, and those are definitely not Master Yen Sid's steps," Mickey responded.

The door opened and Mario was the first to come through it, but when he came through, he could see no one.

"Hm, the tracker says they're supposed to be here, but they're not?" Mario questioned. "You sure that tracker isn't busted or something?" Reyn asked as he came in. "No, the aura of Tails was definitely pure. No sense of deception," Lucario said.

Little did they know that Donald had conjured an invisibility spell to mask the Guardians of Light.

"You sure this will work?" Roxas whispered. "As long as we keep quiet, they shouldn't hear or see us," Aqua responded in a whisper.

"No, the tracker definitely tracks here. It says twelve fighters should be here," Mario said. "Maybe they're just really small. I mean we have seen the weirder," Reyn said. "Let me try something," Lucario said.

Lucario closed his eyes and when it opened them, they were now blue. Lucario was now sensing the ten keyblade wielders and Donald and Goofy.

"I sense them. They're here," Lucario said. "You sure mate, because I don't see anyone?" Reyn asked. "Positive," Lucario said as it walked closer to Donald.

"I don't think this is working," Sora whispered. "Shh," Mickey shushed.

Lucario grabbed Donald's staff and Donald began flailing around.

"Oh yeah! You want this you big palooka!?" Donald yelled as he attempted to throw some punches. "I'm not sure what you're talking about. Also I can see all of you," Lucario said. "Shoot, he can see us," Sora whispered.

Everyone else revealed themselves while Donald still attempted to throw some punches.

"Hm, none of you look 500 years old. I take it none of you are named Mythra?" Mario asked. "500 years old? Mythra? What are you talking about?" Riku questioned. "Just some searching we're doing," Mario responded.

Then at that moment, Sonic came through the air.

"Hey guys, I found a wizard who said he can help us," Sonic said. He then looked around. "Are you all sure none of you are related because everyone always seems on edge?" Sonic asked.

Yen Sid took his seat and began explaining.

"Thanks to our blue friend here we finally understand the situation," Yen Sid said. "And what exactly is it?" Mickey asked.

Mario placed down a projector and it showed the symbol of The Continuance.

"The Continuance," Mario responded. "Yeah, but what is it?" Goofy asked. "It was said that it existed at the beginning of time, created by a being powerful enough to take over the entire universe who created Subspace," Mario explained. "Then how come it barely happened a few weeks ago?" Kairi asked. "The energy was so powerful that it had to be contained within an orb. Until a few weeks ago, that orb was destroyed, sending out the energy across the entire universe," Lucario explained.

"Wait! You come from another world?" Donald asked. "Yeah, why?" Sonic asked. "It messes with the world order," Donald responded. "World border?" Sonic questioned. "ORDER!" Donald screamed.

"I think we're way past that world border stuff," Mario said. "ORDER!" Donald screamed once more. "Okay, okay, just messing with you," Mario said.

"And what exactly are you all doing here?" Ventus asked. "Well, that's the thing. There's an evil army called the Subspace Army that's using the Subspace to take over worlds. So far most of our worlds have been taken," Mario explained.

"And who does this army consist of?" Aqua asked. "Pretty much all of our villains," Sonic responded. "And what does this have to do with us?" Roxas asked. "You all did hear us? Right mate? The Subspace Army is taking over every world in the universe and we need all the fighters we can get," Reyn explained.

The Guardians of Light all looked at each other with a worried expression.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Terra asked. "You don't, but will you do it for the continuation of life as you know it?" Lucario asked.

At that moment the tower began shaking.

"Uh, you guys didn't do that? Did you?" Mario asked. "No, I don't think that was us? Was it?" Goofy questioned.

Suddenly the tower began to fall apart. Yen Sid created a bubble around everyone as the tower fell apart on the ground.

"I see you made some new friends Sonic! Hohohoho!" someone yelled. "Egghead!" Sonic yelled back.

A pod carrying a large man was floating above. This man was revealed to be Dr. Eggman.

"Uh, you guys know each other?" Sora asked. "He's just a very annoying guy who's tried to destroy me multiple times," Sonic responded. "Oh, understandable," Ventus said.

"Hohohoho! You think you'll win this time Sonic, but this time I'm not alone!" Dr. Eggman yelled.

Behind Eggman, an advanced version of Bowser's Airship floated up. It threw a tractor beam on the ground and Bowser came out.

"Bowser!" Mario yelled. "Mario!" Bowser yelled.

Bowser charged at Mario but Mario dodged the attack but then something grabbed him in the air.

"Mewtwo!" Lucario yelled.

Mewtwo floated down to the ground and threw Mario to the ground.

"Pathetic! This is the army that will go against us? You stand no chance!" Mewtwo yelled and threw some shadow balls at the group. "Thunder!" Sora yelled.

Suddenly those shadow balls were stopped by three lightning blasts from the sky.

"Sora!" Mario yelled. "You know, you guys don't seem that bad. Also it seems you were right about this Subspace Army, so I'm willing to help," Sora said. "Me too," Donald said. "Me three," Goofy said. "If Sora is willing to help, we all are," Riku said. "Thanks," Mario said.

From Bowser's airship, he released Subspace Particles and they grew into Primids.

"Oy! These things again!" Reyn complained. "As long as the light is on our side, nothing is impossible!" Mickey yelled.

They all huddled together and defended each of their sides, but as they defeated more Primids, more began to rise.

"Oy! Is it me or are these things multiplying!" Reyn yelled. "You're not wrong. As we defeat one, two more seem to take their place," Aqua said. "So what are we going to do? Give up?" Mario asked, "No! We just need to create a path so we can escape." "Mario, perhaps try your power?" Lucario asked.

Mario closed his eyes and began concentrating some energy,

"What is he doing!? Taking a nap!?" Axol yelled. "Just wait and see," Lucario said.

"Is that?" Dr. Eggman questioned. "No! Mewtwo! Don't let him use that!" Bowser yelled. "On it!" Mewtwo yelled as it attempted to grab Mario using its powers. "No! The energy is too powerful! I can't grab him!" Mewtwo yelled.

Mario opened his eyes and an aura appeared around him with a rainbow fiery look.

"Has he always glowed like that!?" Terra yelled. "Never this much!" Sonic yelled.

Mario stuck his hand out to Lucario and suddenly energy was being transferred to Lucario as it began to transform. Suddenly Lucario transformed into Mega Lucario and it jumped into the air.

"Face the power of aura!" Lucario yelled as it unleashed a beam of Aura, eradicating a majority of the Primids. Lucario landed back onto the ground and transformed back. Mario stopped glowing and fell to the ground as he was exhausted now.

"Will he be alright?" Aqua asked. "None of us will be if we don't get out," Reyn yelled as he began carrying Mario and the entire group ran to their ships.

An entire army of Primids still followed but a shield was created behind the group by Yen Sid.

"Master Yen Sid!" Mickey yelled. "Make haste!" Yen Sid yelled, "You must help them! The entire universe depends on it!"

"No! Don't let them get away!" Bowser yelled.

Eggman placed down a Subspace Bomb and it began counting down to zero.

As the bomb tried to explode, Yen Sid created a bubble around it but it expanded.

"Go! Now! And, May your heart be your guiding key," Yen Sid said.

Mickey nodded and entered the Gummi Ship.

Both ships left as quickly before the bubble could pop and when it did, this part of space was consumed by the Subspace Emissary as Yen Sid turned into a spirit.

All that remained were the Primids, and the villains.

"Was that, The power?" Dr. Eggman asked. "I'm afraid so. We must tell Ganondorf about this. That power is the only thing standing in the way of our conquest," Bowser responded.

32: Strangers on a Path

Samus' gunship was following a road near pure desert where they were following six fighters supposedly.

"Anything yet?" Agent 8 asked. "Hm, tracker says we're getting close. All we have to do is follow the trail," Samus said. "Y-you sure we should be here?" Lucas asked. "Oh calm down kid, nothing is going to eat you," Geno responded. "Still, we must make haste. We don't know when the Subspace Army will arrive," Sheik said. "Got it. Just need to… wait. I think I found them," Samus said. "You sure it will be safe?" Dunban asked. "Not sure which is why I bring people along," Samus responded.

The Gunship landed ahead of the fighters on the road. The entire group came out at the same time.

"I see them. Are they friendly?" Sheik asked. "Best way to find out," Samus said as she began to walk toward them. "Hello, we are wondering…" but before Samus could finish, suddenly they were being shot by bullets.

"I take it they're not friendly," Sheik said. "You think?" Samus questioned. "Be right back," Sheik said.

Sheik disappeared in a cloud of smoke as she approached the fighters who were attacking. She kicked the one with the machine gun and the others came quickly to aid.

Dunban fought the one with the large sword. Sheik was fighting one who was using her hands and fists. Everyone else just stood there as a large animal was chasing Lucas around.

"Geno! I thought you said nothing will eat me!" Lucas screamed. "I said that nothing is going to eat… oh I did say that, didn't I?" Geno questioned. "Should we help?" Agent 8 asked. "I'm not sure," Geno said.

Then one of the members of the other group walked up to Geno, Agent 8, and Samus and began talking to them.

"Hi, I'm Aerith," she said. "Samus. So why exactly are your friends on edge?" Samus asked. "They're just like that. So, which planet did you come from?" Aerith asked. "That's hard to say," Agent 8 said. "How come?" Aerith asked. "Well, each of us come from multiple planets so it's hard to say just one," Geno responded. "Fair point. So, why did you come here?" Aerith asked. "We're actually looking for all of you. You see, we have a lot to explain," Agent 8 responded. "So, can you get your friends to stop attacking?" Geno asked. "Oh, right," Aerith said,

After somehow stopping the others from fighting, they each sat down and began to talk.

"So you're saying you came here so we could join your army?" Barett asked. "Yes, to simplify things, the entire universe is in danger," Sheik said. "And you each came from different worlds to be a part of this army?" Tifa asked. "An oversimplification, but yes," Samus responded.

"Hm, I'm not sure we should trust you this lightly," Red XIII said. "Honestly, I don't give a crap if any of you join," Shadow said as he came out of the Gunship. "Another one, like me?" Red XIII questioned. "No. I am better," Shadow said. "Shadow, what are you doing?" Geno whispered. "Honestly, I find all of you pathetic, worthless, not worth any of our time," Shadow said.

Barett walked up and stood in front of Shadow and aimed his gun at him.

"You want to say that again?" Barett asked. "You think you scare me? I am the Ultimate Lifeform. This pathetic thing you call a weapon won't do you any good," Shadow responded. "I like that one," Cloud said.

"I trust them. We should do this," Aerith said. "I guess if Aerith trusts you, then I suppose we can too," Tifa said.

"Strange how the tracker said there were six fighters here?" Samus questioned.

Then the sound of someone riding something was becoming louder. Suddenly, a girl riding a chocobo hopped off it.

"Hi, who are you?" Geno asked. "Hold on, let me prepare," she said.

Everyone just stood there, waiting as the girl prepared.

"My name is Yuffie, materia hunter and elite special forces for the new Wutai government. I had orders to infiltrate Shinra headquarters and steal their ultimate materia…" but before she could finish, Agent 8 interrupted her. "Okay, looks like you're the sixth fighter here so we'll need your help," Agent 8 said. "Oh, cool, alright," Yuffie said, "Um, what exactly is going on?" "We'll explain everything on the way," Agent 8 said as she pushed Yuffie onto the Gunship.

The Gunship took off and left the planet, while from the distance, a figure was watching.

"Hm, Cloud, Cloud, Cloud, I'll give you… despair after all."

33: The Future

We now proceed into the future, seeing a new group of heroes rise after a devastating defeat of their predecessors.

"I do not know how this future came to be, but all we know is that we're the only ones left. This is Silver, out," Silver said. "Wow, you really know how to be dramatic," Joker said. "Ren, you know that's how it will be," Silver said. "Silver, call me Joker. How are the others?" Joker asked.

The doors of a remaining library that was on the ground opened and five more characters came in.

"Blaze, did you get it?" Silver asked. "No, it got away once more," Blaze responded. "It has the thing we need, doesn't it?" Chrom asked. "The information we need to take down Subspace once and for all," Lucina responded.

Robin took a place around and read through the books once more.

"No new information here. Our best option is to take that thing down," Robin said. "My ancestors would've known how. Simon Belmont was definitely the greatest of the Belmonts," Richter said. "We're not here to stay in the past, guys," Corrin said as she walked in. "We need to go back out there, take down that thing and eliminate the Continuance once and for all," Byleth said.

"I agree but we can't be rash. All those trophies, broken, crumbled. W-we can't lose anymore," Dr. Mario said.

"Hm, I think I have a strategy," Robin said.

The entire team left the comforts of the library and went out searching for the beast that contained the information to defeat the Subspace Emissary.

"Robin, what's the plan?" Dr. Mario asked. "We'll need to lure the beast. Once we get it close, Silver should be able to grab it with his psychokinesis, then the rest of us will attack it and defeat it once and for all," Robin explained.

"That, actually sounds like it might work. Who will be the bait?" Chrom asked. "That's the thing. We've tried every kind of bait there is… except one," Robin responded. "What kind?" Blaze asked. "Live," Robin responded. "Alright, fine, I'll do it," Dr. Mario said. "You sure Doc?" Silver asked. "Yes, my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather Mario would've done the same," Dr. Mario responded.

Dr. Mario stood out in the middle of the open while everyone else was hiding nearby.

"Okay, here goes nothing," Dr. Mario said. "You know, you don't have to do this," Byleth said through the communicators. "I know, but I will," Dr. Mario said.

"GALLEOM!" Dr. Mario yelled. "Did, did it work?" Chrom asked. "Just wait and see," Lucina responded.

Suddenly the ground began to shake as a beast was running toward Dr. Mario.

"Anytime now Silver," Dr. Mario said.

Galleom kept getting closer, and closer.

"Now!" Robin yelled.

Silver came out and stuck his hand out and grabbed Galleom.

"Hurry! I'm not sure how long I can hold him for!" Silver yelled.

The others charged as Galleom was breaking free.

Joker and Richter grabbed it's legs with their whips as it tried to escape. Blaze and Robin shot fire and created a wall of fire behind it. Chrom, Lucina, Corrin and Byleth tried to stab it with their swords but its armor was too thick.

"Damn! This thing is tough!" Chrom yelled. "Can't give up now!" Lucina yelled.

Silver got back up and threw a bunch of boulders at it.

"No turning back now!" Silver yelled.

Galleom gave out a mighty roar and turned red with anger. It was not running away anymore, but now attacking.

"Careful! It's angry now!" Richter yelled as he threw a cross at Galleom.

Everyone kept attacking it until a piece of its armor broke off.

"There! Lucina! Now!" Chrom yelled as he and Lucina aimed for the exposed part of Galleom and took it down.

Galleom went down as it turned into a spirit as well as leaving behind what seemed to be a USB drive.

"This is what we fought so hard for?" Chrom questioned. "Whatever this drive contains will be useful I'm sure," Silver said.

They went back to the library and inserted the drive into the main computer.

"Hopefully, this works," Silver said. "It better," Chrom said. "Father, don't be in a grumpy mood," Lucina said. "I'm not, it's just, I'm tired," Chrom said. "Understandable, but hopefully we'll be able to rest soon," Byleth said.

The computer showed only one file. One labeled, "Extremely important." Silver clicked on it and a video began to show, and it showed a couple of fighters.

"This is Captain Falcon, I'm afraid the Subspace Army's plan went… according to their design. They've unleashed Galleom. Not sure how many of us remain, but if anyone is out there, we need immediate backup."

"Day 10 of the Subspace Army's attack. Many of us, their trophies, have been shattered, including of the eight. But it seems that their plan has backfired. Galleom is now out of control, attacking its own allies."

"One month has passed since the devastation. Not sure how long we can keep going. The villains have decided to make a truce with us while Galleom is still on a full rampage."

"My *cough* everyone is gone. Those of us who remained gave up, went to live their lives in survival. Only me and R.O.B remain *cough*. Around, 20, yes, 20 years have passed since the entire universe entered Subspace. Me and R.O.B attempt to fix the mistake that happened all those years *cough* ago."

"Falcon, the device, it… it is… is… rea… read… ready," R.O.B said as it shut down for good.

"No, R.O.B *cough* don't *cough* leave me *cough* too," Captain Falcon responded as he knelt down to the body of R.O.B.

"Days have passed. Weeks? Months? And *cough* the device is finally ready for use *cough*. Unfortunately, I do not have long, till I die, so to whoever finds this device, use it to *cough* fix the mistake, *cough*, fix the future. *cough* *cough* I leave the coordinates on this hard drive, and the time period that should be entered on the device, but know this *cough* there will be no path for return, but in exchange *cough* *cough* you can make a better future, for all of us *cough*" Captain Falcon said as he fell to the ground and the broadcast ended.

"Time, that is our answer. We go back, defeat Galleom in its infancy, and the future is saved," Silver said. "Are you sure you believe this? That guy, did not look like the best person to take advice from," Blaze said. "We've fought all this way, couldn't hurt to take a chance," Corrin said. "Right, we go to this place, and go back, but there will be no return," Chrom said. "It's a chance, we'll have to take," Silver said,

The group of the future decided to take Captain Falcon's advice and go to this place that contained the answer to erase the Subspace Emissary once and for all. What they found was unremarkable.

"It… it looks like some remains of an old Observatory," Dr. Mario said. "It looks like a piece of it is a part of our base," Blaze said.

They went inside the Observatory and found multiple, destroyed ships. There was The Odyssey, Falcon Flier, Gunship, Great Fox, and Tornado.

"All this devastation, and for what?" Chrom questioned. "We're close," Silver said.

Richter and Chrom struggled to open a rusted door. Inside they found it.

"That's it. It's the same one as before," Silver said. "I cannot believe it. An actual Time Machine," Corrin said. "Does it work?" Byleth asked.

Silver pressed the on button and the Time Machine activated.

"Okay, we're all sure we want to do this. Remember, there will be no return here," Silver said. "It'll be worth it, if we win, then the future will be better, if we lose, we'll end up back here," Lucina said. "Right, let's save the universe," Silver said.

They all stepped into the Time Machine and went Back to The Past.

34: Villain Meeting

Within the Subspace Emissary, the leaders of the Subspace Army were discussing the reveal of the power of the Eight.

"Impossible! That power was long gone! There is no way that was that power!" Ganondorf yelled. "I'm telling you, that is the power, Ganondorf. There's no denying it," Bowser said. "Argh! We're so damn close! That, that over there is the only thing that is in our way! We cannot let them discover their full potential!" Ganondorf yelled.

"I read one of the boy's minds. A keyblade wielder named Sora. They claim that the heroes are looking for a fighter named Mythra. We cannot allow their numbers to be increased, especially if they have the power of the eight," Mewtwo said. "Agreed, any idea where this Mythra is located?" Ganondorf asked.

"If my calculations are correct, which they are, she is located on a world known as Alrest," Dr. Wily said. "Perhaps, we can lead the eight there, and make sure we take that power from them," Dr. Eggman said. "Agreed. We'll take a small army ther," Ganondorf said, "And, activate Galleom." "Are we sure? Galleom is still a work in progress," Bowser said. "Then we'll take it for a test drive," Ganondorf said.

Meta Knight, after the meeting, met with King Dedede on the Halberd.

"Hm, Galleom is being activated. I fear that we will soon be revealed," Meta Knight said. "Then what will we do?" King Dedede asked. "Act the same, and wait for a moment to betray," Meta Knight said.

The Halberd was sent to Alrest to find Mythra. In the group were Meta Knight, King Dedede, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo.

They landed on a port near a giant tree.

"Hm, odd," Mewtwo said. "What is it?" Ganondorf asked. "I sense two lifeforms here. Organic, but not human," Mewtwo responded.

Suddenly they were being attacked by two beings.

"Hm, what the hell are you! More drivers! It's about time we show humanity that we mean business. Jin!" one said. "Humanity can suffer all they want. I assume you have an ambition. Perhaps we can talk," Ganondorf said. "What do you mean? You're not human, are you?" Jin asked. "No, I am above them. I am the king of darkness, Ganondorf," Ganondorf said. "If anybody is going to a king of darkness, it'll be me. I am Malos, Aegis of destruction, which means I'll destroy you, because you obviously want my power," Malos said as he charged at Ganondorf.

Ganondorf stuck out his hand and held Malos.

"What?!" Malos yelled. "Do I look like I need your power?"Ganondorf asked as he gave a punch to Malos with his other hand.

"Malos!?" Jin yelled as he took out his sword. "Stand down Jin. He's obviously shown his worth," Malos said.

Ganondorf walked forward and said, "What if I were to tell you, that I can give whatever you want. What if I were to tell, that there are other worlds out there? Join us, and together, we can give each of you, whatever you want."

"Our mission, is to destroy humanity. Tell me, how can you accomplish such a task?" Malos asked. "Trust me. One world, would be easy as the other. I simply require your loyalty," Ganondorf said. "Very well, what's the task?" Malos asked.

"I have heard that a fighter known as Mythra is on this world," Ganondorf said. "Yes, she'll likely be on her way here along with that brat of hers," Malos said. "Then we simply need to lure them and our enemies here. Then, everything will be ours," Ganondorf said.

Mewtwo had obviously realized something, then immediately whispered into Ganondorf's ear, "They'll betray us." Ganondorf nodded and just acted as if none of that had happened.

"Meta Knight, call the others and prepare the armada," Ganondorf ordered. "Right," Meta Knight said as he walked inside the Halberd.

As they all kept talking, a war zone was occuring out in the open.

"Amalthus," Malos said. "I take it he's not a fan," King Dedede said. "He's after the same goal, only he has more ambitions," Jin explained. "He is merely a pawn in this plan of ours. He shouldn't be a problem," Ganondorf said.

"Wait, what is that?" Malos asked as he was looking up into the sky. "Hm, they're here. Let's prepare inside," Ganondorf said.

35: No Rest In Alrest

"Are you sure this is a good idea Mario?" Samus asked. "Yes. At the least, we have backup in case anything goes wrong," Mario responded. "Fine. Everyone dive!" Samus ordered.

The Gunship, Great Fox, Falcon Flier, Odyssey, Gummi Ship, and Tornado all dove down toward Alrest.

"Okay, it seems there is a lot of turbulence here," Mario said. "That ain't turbulence," Fox said in awe.

They made it through the planet's atmosphere and saw multiple beasts near a giant tree.

"Whoa, this is, this is huge," Captain Falcon said. "No need to compare sizes man," Snake said.

Within a titan named Indol, Praetor Amalthus was investigating his screens.

"Hm, strange. No matter. Merely another trick from Torna. Shoot it down," Amalthus ordered.

Suddenly Indol's cannons turned around and started firing towards our heroes.

"Whoa! Separate! Separate now!" Samus ordered as every ship left their formation and began diving.

"Why are they attacking!" Roy yelled. "I don't know! Star Fox, engage the enemy!" Peppy ordered.

Falco and Peppy entered their Arwings and separated from the Great Fox and began flying toward Indol.

"Fox, if we don't make it," Falco said. "Don't even say it," Fox said. Falco hesitated for a bit, then gave a chuckle and said, "It was an honor to serve alongside you."

The Arwings got closer to Indol and began shooting the cannons, blowing them up in the process.

Meanwhile, on a platform on the World Tree, a group of people were watching the battle.

"Whoa, what are those?" Rex asked. "Hm, their design, they don't look familiar," Pyra responded. She then switched to Mythra. "As long as they keep Indol busy. Rex, we have to stop Malos," Mythra said. "Right," Rex said.

As they all agreed to climb the World Tree, the Gunship began coming closer.

"A platform!? On a tree?" Fiora questioned. "Don't question it. This won't be a smooth landing by the way," Samus said.

"Wait, is that… coming closer?" Nia questioned. "Oh boy, this doesn't look good mate," Zeke said. "No it doesn't! Run!" Rex yelled.

At high speeds, the Gunship crash landed inside the platform, luckily avoiding the other group.

"That was too close, Tora think, meh meh," Tora said. "Poppi agrees with Masterpon," Poppi said. Mòrag got up close to the Gunship and took a look at it. "Hm, the design doesn't seem like any Ardainian ship I have seen, yet it's not a titan," she said. "Then what is it?" Nia asked.

Suddenly the hatch was jammed shut. Samus punched it but it wasn't budging.

"Damn! It's jammed," she said. "Any idea how to open it?" Fiora asked. "I got it!" Knuckles said.

On the outside, they all heard the bangs that Samus had made.

"I think there's people inside," Rex said. "Are they friendly?" Pandoria asked. "Well, only one way to find out! Poppi!" Tora yelled. "Right! Poppi missiles! Engage!" Poppi yelled.

"Okay, you sure you want to go through with this Knuckles?" Mario asked. "Sure. I've already done it millions of times," Knuckles said. "Okay, here goes nothing," Sonic said as he spun his arm around multiple times.

"Okay Poppi, let's get these guys out," Rex said. "On it," Poppi said as she extended her arms outwards.

"3," Mario said.

"2" Rex said.

"1" Mario and Rex said.

Sonic punched Knuckles as he put his fist outward. From Poppi's arms, she shot missiles. Knuckles punched through the hatch but he was heading directly for the missiles.

"AHHHH!" Knuckles screamed.

"BOOM!"

Knuckles laid on the ground, knocked out.

"Did it work?" Sonic asked. "Ooh, that's going to hurt," Fox said as he looked down at Knuckles. "Meh, he'll be fine," Sonic said.

"Uhh, blades?" Rex questioned. "Not sure what you're talking about kid. The name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog," Sonic responded. "Uh, Rex," Rex said. "Well nice to meet you Rex. You don't happen to know anyone named Mythra? Do you?" Fox asked. "I'm Mythra," Mythra responded.

"Perfect! Now, can you come with us?" Mario asked as he came out. "I'm sorry, what?" Nia asked. "Look sorry mate, we would like to help but we kind of need to save the world," Rex said. "Let's just say this is more important, to say the least," Samus said. "How is this more important?" Dromarch asked. "It's nothing to say the least that the entire universe depends on it," Fiora said as she came out. "Fiora," Rex said in a surprised tone. "Hey guys, we have a lot to talk about," Fiora said.

As they began to talk, Kirby, Yoshi, DK, Amy, Link, Zelda, Pikachu, Lucario, Simon, Marth, Sora, Kairi, and R.O.B came out.

"So you're saying that this Subspace Army is capable of capturing entire worlds?" Brighid asked. "Precisely, if we don't stop them, then the entire universe will be no more," R.O.B said. "And you've already gotten many fighters with the symbol that appeared on us weeks ago?" Dromarch asked. "Yes, they all will help in the battle to come, we just need you and that would be every fighter in every world. Besides the ones that were captured," Mario responded. "Okay, but first things first, we need to save our world first," Rex said. "Great. Totally easy. So what's your plan?" Sonic asked.

They went outside to the platform and pointed up into the tree.

"We need to reach the top to stop Jin and Malos," Mythra asked. "Jin? Why would we need to stop Jin? He never liked fighting. And, Malos is still persisting?" R.O.B asked. "Precisely. How do you know so much about Jin, Malos, and Mythra?" Rex asked. "I was part of the first Subspace War. So was Mythra and Jin. They may not remember it but it did happen," R.O.B said, "It was 500 years ago. We fought hard, and in the end, no one could remember it."

"That seems dramatic and traumatic but besides that what are all of your guy's names?" Sonic asked. "Right. The name's Rex and I'm sure you know the Aegis, Mythra," Rex responded. "I'm Nia, and this is my blade Dromarch," Nia responded. "The name's Tora, and this is artificial blade, Poppi!" Tora responded. "I'm Mòrag, special inquisitor for Mor Ardain, and my blade, Brighid," Mòrag responded. "Wow, nice accent. What about the other guy?" Amy asked. "Oh no, now you've done it," Nia said in an irritated tone.

"I am ZEKE VON GENBU! BRINGER CHAOS! MOSTLY REFERRED AS ZEKE, AND OFTEN ADDRESSED AS THE ZEKENATOR!" Zeke yelled.

"Oh, I see why," Samus said.

"AND THIS IS MY BLADE! PANDORIA! AND THIS IS MY SWORD! THE PURPLE LIGHTNING DREAMSMASHER!" Zeke yelled.

"Okay, hopefully that's over with," Mario said. "Hold on. Once he starts, he needs to finish," Rex said.

"WITH THE THREE OF US AT YOUR DISPOSAL, THE SUBSPACE ARMY WON'T KNOW WHAT LICKED IT!" Zeke yelled.

"Uh, three? I only see two of you?" Samus questioned.

Zeke looked surprised and yelled, "WELL YOU HAVEN'T MET OUR BELOVED MASCOT! TURTERS! REVEAL YOURSELF!"

Zeke attempted to take something out but he looked shocked.

"Turters? Turters!" Zeke yelled.

Everyone was just waiting there, until Amy saw a small creature crawling to her.

"Aw! Hello little guy! How are you? What are you doing, out here all alone?" Amy asked.

Zeke was looking around on the ground when he spotted Amy with the turtle.

"Ah-ah-ah! Turters!" he yelled.

He ran up to Amy, in a crab-like form and snatched Turters from her hand.

"Handling a man's turtle!" he yelled.

"Ooookay, can we go now?" Fox asked, "Our friends are kind of being attacked right now so we don't have time to lose." "Yeah, let's go. Come on Shellhead," Nia said as she walked into the Gunship.

The Gunship took off, and started to rise to the top of the World Tree.

"So this tree leads to land that this Architect created?" Mario asked. "Yes," Pyra said as she switched over from Mythra. "Whoa! I did not know you could do that?" R.O.B questioned. "I guess a lot has changed in 500 years R.O.B. Still don't remember you, but hopefully I can be helpful," Pyra said. "Wow. Different personalities too," R.O.B said.

The Gunship arrived at a hallway that it went through and landed by an elevator.

"This should lead us near the top," Pyra said. "Okay, let's save your world," Mario said. "Are you sure you're up to the task?" Brighid asked. "Sure, we've done it multiple times alone before so together it should be no problem," Sonic responded. "Very well. Let's move on ahead," Mythra said as she switched over.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked a voice behind them.

The entire group turned around and saw that Malos and Jin were standing right behind them.

"Malos! Jin!" Rex yelled. "Hm, if you think you can stop all of us, then you're out of your league brat," Malos said. "What do you mean "all of ``? You? There's only two of you," Nia said.

Link turned quickly and took his shield out as it was hit by Ganondorf's punch. Link was then launched into the other side of the room.

"Link!" Zelda yelled.

Suddenly a mechanical beast landed behind the group and hit all of them and launched them alongside Link.

"Ganondorf!" Mario yelled as he got up. "I see you've obtained one of those droids! Now give up!" Ganondorf yelled.

R.O.B immediately launched itself at Ganondorf but was stopped by the Ancient Minister.

"What!? How is that more powerful than R.O.B!?" Fox yelled.

The Ancient Minister and R.O.B flew up into the roof and began battling each other.

"Mario! Mario! Come in!" Luigi yelled through the intercoms. "Luigi! What's wrong!?" Mario yelled back. "It's a trap! The Subspace Army is here!" Peppy yelled. "What!?" Samus yelled. "They're all here! I repeat! They're all here!" Riku yelled.

"What have you done!?" Sonic yelled at Ganondorf. "Quite simply. Telling the truth. You heroes were never going to win this. Now, time for our ultimate attack," Ganondorf said.

The mechanical beast roared as it was getting ready for a battle.

36: Unexpected Help

"What is that!?" Fox yelled as he got his blaster ready. "Your demise," Malos said, "Galleom, a beast capable of destruction."

Galleom roared and began charging at our heroes.

"Guys! Quickly! Use your power!" Sora yelled. "Right!" Mario yelled back.

But it was too late. Galleom had hit the eight before they could concentrate their power.

"You didn't think we'd know about your little trick! It's over now!" Ganondorf yelled.

In the meantime, a little above them, R.O.B and the Ancient Minister were battling with their lasers.

"You took Famicom from me! You are responsible for all this suffering! You will pay!" R.O.B yelled.

The Ancient Minister took no notice of this as it was still hitting R.O.B up close.

"Jin!" Malos yelled. Jin nodded as they began to charge at the group.

Jin was too fast for everyone else, except Sonic who caught him before he could stab Sora.

"You won't get away with this!" Sonic yelled.

Jin jumped back and began initiating an icy aura around the whole room.

"Damn! I can't use my power here!" Nia yelled. "Don't worry! I got this!" Rex yelled as he charged toward Galleom. Pyra then realized something and yelled, "Wait! Rex! No!"

Rex attempted to stab Galleom with his sword but he caught it with two fingers. He then grabbed Rex with his other hand as Rex dropped his sword.

"Rex! No!" Pyra yelled.

Galleom crushed Rex and turned him into a trophy and threw him besides Ganondorf.

"REX!" Pyra yelled. "No! You'll pay!" Sora yelled as he shot a fire ball from his Key-blade. It did nothing against the shell of the beast.

"You'll have to try harder than that!" Ganondorf yelled as he charged at Link.

Link took notice of this and grabbed the Master Sword in time.

"The power of the spirits shield me from the power boy! What chance do you have now!" Ganondorf yelled.

"Link!" Zelda yelled as she blasted a golden shot at Ganondorf.

It merely reflected back but luckily Kairi jumped in front of Zelda and created a barrier with her keyblade.

"It's no use! They're too powerful!" Lucario yelled as he was dodging Malos' attacks. "Mario!" Fiora yelled. "It's no use! They keep bashing us! Breaking our focus," Mario said as he threw a flame at Galleom. "No! It can't end like this!" Zeke yelled as thunder came from his Dreamsmasher and swung at Galleom.

Galleom merely saw this and swung at Zeke, sending him to a wall.

"Zeke! Damn!" Nia yelled as she blasted Galleom with water.

R.O.B and the Ancient Minister fought and now were blasting giant lasers at each other. R.O.B beat the Ancient Minister as it fell to the ground.

R.O.B landed on the ground and readied another attack but stopped as it realized something from the burning wardrobe of the Ancient Minister.

"Fa- Famicom," R.O.B said in disbelief. It was revealed that the Ancient Minister was merely another version of R.O.B, but with red plating on some parts of its body,

Famicom took no notice of this and blasted another laser shot at R.O.B.

"R.O.B!" Tora yelled as he and Poppi went to grab him. Unfortunately, they were also hit by the blast and all three of them were badly injured.

"No! Heal!" Sora yelled as he activated a healing spell toward the three.

Galleom swatted Sora away.

"Sora!" Kairi yelled as she dodged Galleom's attack.

Knuckles and Donkey Kong attempted to punch the shell of the beast off but it was too thick.

Everyone was exhausted as Galleom still kept running.

"No! No yet!" Lucario yelled as he was hit by Malos and was launched near Tora's, Poppi's and R.O.B's locations.

The others went to protect them and were now surrounded.

"It's over! Galleom! Destroy!" Ganondorf ordered.

With no hesitation, Galleom was about to pummel the fighters until… a blue beam of light came from the floor, blocking Galleom from hitting the fighters.

"What, What is that!?" Mòrag yelled.

The beam of light stopped and ten beings appeared in front of our heroes.

Sonic took a squint and recognized two of them. "Silver? Blaze?" he questioned. "No time for introductions. Let the eight concentrate on their power. We'll distract them," Blaze said. "Oh, right," Knuckles said.

The eight began taking deep breaths and they tried to concentrate their,

"You know, it will be much more satisfying defeating this thing for a second time," Joker said. "Don't be confident. Remember, it was much older," Chrom said. "No need, We stop him here, we save the future," Lucina said.

"Everyone! Attack!" Dr. Mario yelled.

Silver began by grabbing Jin and Malos with his psychoteknises.

"Persona!" Joker yelled as Arsene appeared behind him. He began fighting Ganondorf.

In the meantime, Chrom, Lucina, Robin, Corrin, Byleth, Dr. Mario, Richter, and Blaze fought Galleom.

"You weren't kidding. This thing is more powerful," Richter said. "Still, it'll go down the same," Byleth said.

Corrin transformed into a dragon and charged at Galleom.

"Hurry!" Corrin yelled.

Dr. Mario threw a poison pill at Galleom to weaken it, then Byleth, using her sword, tied Galleom. Chrom, and Lucina were now looking for any weak points.

"There! Now!" Chrom yelled.

Blaze threw a fireball at the weak spot and Galleom roared in pain. Then Richter tied his whip around Galleom's neck and made sure it didn't escape. Chrom, Lucina and Robin then aimed for the weak spot and stabbed Galleom.

"No! Impossible!" Ganondorf yelled.

Galleom poofed and became a spirit.

On the outside, the fighter's ships were being outrunned by the Subspace Army's drones.

"There's too many of them!" Riku yelled. "Did someone call for help?" Rosalina asked through the intercoms. "Rosalina!" Luigi yelled in excitement.

Suddenly, the Comet Observatory charged at the Subspace Army's warship and rammed it. Then it sent out beams of light, destroying all of the drones.

"We need to evacuate! Now!" Peppy yelled.

The eight had finished concentrating their power and each of them had a rainbow aura.

"No! This is not possible!" Ganondorf yelled. "Don't worry. They're no match for me," Malos said as he charged at them. "No! You fool!" Ganondorf yelled.

Mario decided to give energy over to Sonic.

"Wow! This is awesome!" Sonic yelled.

Sonic transformed. He was now golden yellow and his spikes were pointing upwards. He was now Super Sonic.

Sonic caught Malos in time.

"What!?" Malos yelled in shock. "How do you like me now!" Sonic yelled as he threw Malos to the ground, sending him deep in the World Tree. "Malos!" Jin exclaimed.

"Start the ship! Quickly!" Samus ordered. "Right!" Sora yelled.

The Gunship rose up in the air and everyone got on board.

"Wait! Rex!" Pyra yelled.

Suddenly the trophy of Rex was being covered by Subspace particles and an evil doppelganger arose from the particles.

"Don't!" Silver yelled as he grabbed Pyra and threw her on board.

The hangar door closed shut and the Gunship began flying outside.

"Wow, they weren't kidding about what they said about the Subspace Army's ship," Zeke said as he looked up into the armada.

"Rosalina! Do you copy?" Samus asked. "Copy! Everyone here is accounted for! Not sure how long we can keep the shields up!" Rosalina responded. "Right! On our way!" Samus yelled.

Suddenly noises of beings landing on the Gunship could be heard inside.

"No!" Samus yelled.

Mythra suddenly switched back and looked above.

"Yeah. Try diving down, then I can use Siren to take these things down," Mythra said. "Not sure what that means but I'll take your word for it," Samus said as she began to dive.

Mythra's gem on her tiara started to glow as a beam of light from the sky destroyed the Primids and narrowly avoided the Gunship.

"Nice move there," Samus said as she pulled the ship up. "Thanks," Mythta said.

The Gunship made it back to the Comet Observatory and it immediately teleported out.

"No! Bomb the planet," Ganondorf said. "Wait, that was never the plan," Jin said as he grabbed his sword and was about to stab Ganondorf. Suddenly a rush of wind flew in as a cloaked figure stabbed Jin in the chest with a long sword.

"Did you really think we did not know of your eventual betrayal?" Ganondorf questioned. "Who, who are you?" Jin asked. "As I said, I am Ganondorf, King of Darkness, and you are worthless and pathetic," Ganondorf said. "My, you have a lot of despair. Let's add to that shall we," said the cloaked figure.

Famicom rose up and placed a bomb in the middle.

"Hm, and I suspect their little spy won't be a problem either," Ganondorf muttered to himself.

The Bomb exploded, devouring the World Tree, and every titan of Alrest, as it now became a part of the Subspace Emissary,

37: Villain Deceptions

"Foolish! Outlandish! This was your best plan yet!?" Dr. Eggman yelled. "They have every fighter now! We don't merely have enough of their fighters to execute our final plan!" Bowser yelled. "Yeah, you tell him Papa," Bowser Jr said.

"SILENCE!" Ganondorf yelled as it shook the entire room.

"You think I care about your opinions! Do you think I need your acceptance! Do you really believe we have lost!" Ganondorf yelled.

"Jeez, take a breath mint, why don't you," Dr. Wily said. "I have suspected this for a while now, but I feel like there's a spy amidst our ranks handing the heroes information. Unfortunately I have read every mind in this room and out, and whomever it is knows how to keep it at the back of their mind," Mewtwo said. "So, one of us is a traitor," Bowser said. "That is precisely what he said, you imbecile!" Dr. Eggman yelled.

"SILENCE!" Ganondorf yelled.

"Until this traitor is found, no one is to execute any plan, nor leave!" Ganondorf ordered, "And whomever this spy is, destroy them at any cost."

Ganondorf was left in the room alone as he turned on the screen of the communicator. He then bowed as the Master Hand appeared on the screen.

"My Master, it seems that Galleom had failed," Ganondorf said. "Have you located the spy yet?" the Master Hand asked. "No," Ganondorf responded, "Most of the Army's generals seem idiotic to even attempt such a betrayal." "Then find who this spy is and destroy them," the Master Hand ordered. "Yes, I will," Ganondorf said.

Outside in the hallway of the Subspace Army's ship, Meta Knight was discussing something with King Dedede.

"Your majesty, I am afraid we will no longer be able to stay longer," Meta Knight said. "Then what'll we do?" King Dedede asked. "We must escape this ship and join the others," Meta Knight said.

Then at that moment, Kazuya was walking by and Meta Knight and King Dedede stopped talking.

"What were you two discussing?" Kazuya asked. "Nothing. Just trying to figure out who the spy is, hehehe," King Dedede said with a nervous tone. "Hm, who do you think it is?" Kazuya asked. "We should tell him," Meta Knight said. "Right, right, come closer then," King Dedede said. Kazuya came closer and Dedede told him,"I suspect it may be Wily." "How so?" Kazuya questioned. "He's told you about the numerous times he's played the hero trope. What if this time, he's doing the same thing to get what he wants," Meta Knight said. "Hm, interesting," Kazuya said as he walked away.

"Okay, now that he suspects that Wily is the spy, we need to turn everyone against each other in order to escape," Meta Knight said. "Okay then. Who's next?" King Dedede asked.

Meta Knight went to talk to Wolf.

"So, I'm thinking the spy is Porky," Wolf said as he munched on a drumstick, "You see, maybe the heroes offered him candy or something, so he'd have no choice but to join his side." "Hm, interesting theory, but I have a suspect myself," Meta Knight said. "Oh yeah, who?" Wolf asked. "Mewtwo," Meta Knight responded. "Mewtwo? Really?" Wolf questioned. "Think about it. He used to be friends with those Pokemon and there might've been a reason why he couldn't see who the spy was, because he is the spy," Meta Knight said. "That is true. Good call Meta Knight. I'll keep a closer look at him to make sure your theory proves true," Wolf said as he walked away.

In the meantime, King Dedede was talking to Gruntilda.

"So there I was when I snatched Tooty from the ground and took her to my lair. My plan would've been completed if it weren't for that Bear and Bird," Gruntilda complained. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're ugly and all that. Anyway, I think I may know who the spy is," King Dedede said. "What!? You do? Who?" Gruntilda asked. "I'm thinking it's Wario and Waluigi," King Dedede responded. "How come it's those idiots?" Gruntilda asked. "Because, I bet the heroes paid them. Y'know they'll do anything for money," King Dedede responded. "That's right. Thank you for informing me. I'll make sure I'll catch them doing something suspicious," Gruntilda said.

Meta Knight began talking to Dr. Wily about who would be the spy.

"Hm, don't you think K. Rool has been suspiciously quiet this whole time?" Meta Knight asked. "Hm, now that I think about it, yes," Dr. Wily said. "Perhaps he's been the spy the entire time. Yes he hates the Kongs, but maybe the heroes promised him something that he could not resist," Meta Knight said. "Hm, I'll check into it," Dr. Wily said.

King Dedede began talking to Bowser.

"So, I told Junior no more video games until the war is over and he left in a tantrum," Bowser said. "Yeah, do you think that maybe Kazuya is the spy?" King Dedede asked. "Kazuya. I've never thought about it," Bowser responded. "He's a warrior. Right? Maybe when that Ryu guy beat him, he decided to join them since they've shown his worth," King Dedede suggested. "Hm, Kazuya. I knew it. Thanks Dedede, I'll make sure he's taken care of," Bowser said.

Meta Knight was now talking to Dr. Eggman.

"So, Robotnik, I'm thinking Wolf is the spy," Meta Knight said. "How so?" Dr. Eggman asked. "Wolf has been suspiciously quiet throughout this battle. Perhaps he was the one giving the information," Meta Knight said. "Of course. I'll make sure he's taken care of," Dr. Eggman said.

Meta Knight and King Dedede met back near the deck of the ship.

"I'll get the Halberd ready. Keep watch," Meta Knight said. "Right, got it," King Dedede said.

Gruntilda was walking past Wario and Waluigi's room when she overheard something.

"So that's how we got the money, Waluigi," Wario said. "I knew it. I can't believe we would do something so sinister," Waluigi said.

Gruntilda busted through their door and yelled, "I KNEW IT! YOU TWO ARE THE SPIES!" "What?" Wario questioned.

Gruntilda immediately blasted their room with fire and Wario and Waluigi ran out. Gruntilda began chasing them.

Wolf was following Mewtwo through the vents.

"Pathetic individuals," Mewtwo said, "They know nothing. I'm the only one who has this kind of power."

Wolf came out of the vents and grabbed his blaster.

"You're the spy and you're dead!" Wolf yelled.

Wolf began blasting Mewtwo and chased after him.

Dr. Wily was observing K. Rool for any deception.

"Hm, I see no one suspects this. Finally, it will be mine," K. Rool said. "You!" Dr. Wily yelled as he got a blaster, "You won't get away with this!" "I knew it!" Kazuya yelled as he turned into devil form and charged at Wily. Suddenly, Bowser kicked him out of the way. "You won't get away with this Kazuya," Bowser said as smoke came out from his nostrils.

They began fighting each other. Every villain, except two, fighting each other, thinking each one is a spy.

Each was about to take the final blow, when each of them were hit by dark energy.

"ENOUGH! YOU IMBECILES! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" Ganondorf yelled. "They're the spy!" Everyone yelled at the same time. "Wait, these bozos are the spy," Gruntilda said pointing at Wario and Waluigi. "What do you mean? Kazuya here is the spy," Bowser said. "Hm, I was told Wily was the spy," Kazuya said. "No, it's Mewtwo here," Wolf said. "No, Eggman here is the spy," Mewtwo said. "What!? K. Rool is the spy!" Eggman yelled.

"ENOUGH!" Ganondorf yelled, "Who exactly told you this?" "Meta Knight and Dedede!" Everyone yelled at the same time. "And where are they now?" Ganondorf asked.

The ship began beeping. "Warning. Unauthorized leave. Warning. Unauthorized leave," the computer warned.

"They're the spies you imbeciles!" Ganondorf yelled.

The Halberd immediately left the Subspace Army's ship as it destroyed every drone on board, preventing the drones from following.

"Shoot all cannons!" Bowser ordered. "Wait, there's still one person out," Ganondorf said.

The Halberd was at high speeds, escaping the Subspace ship when it was being attacked.

"Impossible, we destroyed the drone!" King Dedede yelled. "It's not the drones," Meta Knight said.

Suddenly a long sword cut through the ceiling and a hooded being came through.

Meta Knight grabbed his sword and began fighting the hooded being.

"Hm, you're good, but not enough," the hooded being said. The hooded being pressed a button and immediately left the Halberd. It exploded and began drifting in space, very far from any world, except one.

"Hm, I take it you dealt with them," Ganondorf said. "I did, but they did not come without use," the hooded being said as he gave Ganondorf the pager he stole. "Hm, perhaps we can still get some use from them after all," Ganondorf said.

38: The Plan

The Comet Observatory arrived in very deep space after escaping Alrest.

"So, this is your ship?" Zeke asked. "Well, more of a base of operations really," Mario said. "Fascinating amount of soldiers you have. With this amount of heroes, we should be able to accomplish the task at hand," Mòrag said. "Thanks for the insight. I take it you know a little something about running an army," Samus said. "I may know something," Mòrag said.

"Hm, smells funny," Mythra said, "Well, I should be able to do this easily." "Wow! Who brought the walking body pillow," Kazooie said. "What did you say!?" Mythra exclaimed. "Yeah, you heard me. Walking. Body. Pillow," Kazooie said. "Well I tell you that these hands are more than for a hormonal teenager!" Mythra yelled. "Oh yeah!" Kazooie yelled. "Oh yeah!" Mythra yelled.

They began throwing punches to each other.

"Uh, should we stop them?" Banjo asked. "Nah, just let them have this," Pandoria said. "Yeah. Poppi thinks this is good entertainment," Poppi said.

R.O.B was alone, looking out into space.

"Uh R.O.B? Are you alright?" Fox asked. "I… I thought Famicom was gone," R.O.B said. Dunban then walked up and said, "I'll take it from here, Fox. I know what he's dealing with." "Okay. Hope you know what you're doing," Fox said.

Dunban sat besides R.O.B.

"I… I understand what you're going through," Dunban said. "How?" R.O.B asked. "A couple of months ago, we thought… We thought we lost Fiora when the Mechon attacked. Then it turned out she was being used by them. That's when I realized that I needed to get her back. I'm sure everyone else here lost someone from the Subspace Army, as well as you. We'll get them back. All of them," Dunban explained. "That's all I want to do. Get her back. We're the last of our kind. I'm not… I'm not whole without her," R.O.B said. "Then we'll get her back. I promise," Dunban said.

Mario, Sonic, Simon and Marth were now talking to Dr. Mario, Silver, Richter, Chrom and Lucina.

"So you all come from the future, because we lost," Mario said. "Yeah," Silver said. "Then what is the point of this, if we lose?" Marth asked. "That's the thing. When we stopped Galleom from killing you, we changed the future," Dr. Mario responded. "So, we have a chance," Simon said. "Precisely, also nice to meet you Simon. Our family told many legends about you," Richter said. "Hm, and why do you look like me?" Mario asked. "I'm your Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandson, Grandpa Mario," Dr. Mario responded. "Wow. And your name is Dr. Mario?" Mario asked. "Yes. Our family… Was not the best at naming their children," Dr. Mario responded. "I'll keep that in mind," Mario said.

"And you two. You both wield the falchion sword. How is that even possible?" Marth asked. "We're your descendants you're highness," Chrom responded. "I also come further from the future, to prevent my father's death," Lucina responded. "Hm, fascinating," Marth said,

"Are you two related?" Mario asked Sonic and Silver. "No, we're just friends," Sonic said. "Yeah. I'm not even sure who I'm related to," Silver said.

Everyone decided to gather together, as most stayed outside.

"So now that we have every fighter from every world, we need to start coming with a plan. Marth, Dunban, Chrom, Lucina, Mòrag, you are all generals as far as we know. What's your tactical decision?" Mario asked. "Hm, the Subspace Army is a formidable foe. They will be hard to beat," Chrom said. "Agreed. We all have fought the villains of this team, am I right?'' Dunban asked. "Yes. Most of them are our typical enemies besides Kazuya, and Bayonetta," Samus responded. "Then we strike the hard ones first. Once we beat them, the others should fall easily," Mòrag said.

"Sounds like a plan. The only problem is entering Subspace," R.O.B said. "You said that Subspace was made out of pure darkness?" Aqua asked. "Yes. It even consumed the dimension of darkness," R.O.B responded.

"If it's possible, could we get enough light energy to combat this darkness?" Mickey asked. "It's possible, just I calculated the amount of light within me and the Guardians of Light and it won't be enough," Mythra. "Hm, Pit, you said that you worked for the Goddess of Light?" Mario asked. "Yeah, Lady Palutena," Pit responded. "Could you possibly convince her to come out and help?" Samus asked. "I'll need to go speak to her personally in order to convince her, but I'm pretty sure I will be able to," Pit said. "Okay, take as many people as you want, while the rest of us come up with a plan," Fox said. "Right, see you guys," Pit said as he left the room.

Mario, DK, Link, Yoshi, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Zelda, Fiora, Dunban, Melia, Marth, Lucina, Lucario, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Sora, Kairi, Mickey, Riku, Donald, Goofy, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Min Min, Ninjara, Orange, Agent 8, Richter, Banjo and Kazooie, Mòrag, Nia,Tora, Xion, Roxas, Ventus, Axel, Luigi, Silver, Blaze, Joker, Chun Li, and Rosalina decided to stay on the Comet Observatory and plan the attack.

As the rest were entering a new ship that Tails had designed, Mario came up to Pit.

"Okay, so all you have to do is convince Palutena to help us out," Mario said. "Don't worry, we'll likely be back in no time," Pit said.

As they were talking, Tails came up and gave them each a phone.

"Here you go. I built everyone a phone so we can all communicate through a secure line. Also these devices here should track a fighter who's been turned into trophy form," Tails said as he put a hidden device on everyone. "Great. Looks like you're all ready," Mario said but his pager began beeping.

"Hm, let's see. Hm, weird," Mario said. "What's the problem?" Sora asked. "There's usually a recorded message but this is simply a text," Mario said. "What does it say?" Samus asked. "Meet me in Skyworld. Discuss Plans. That's simply it," Mario said. "Alright, we'll keep a lookout for Meta Knight then," Aqua said.

The ship started and left the Comet Observatory.

"Do you think they'll succeed?" Mario asked. "All we have is hope," Rosalina responded.

39: Ambush

The ship landed on the clouds of Skyworld where multiple palaces could be seen, but the entire land was mysteriously silent.

"So this is Skyworld. Reminds us of Alrest," Pyra said. "Right, keep forgetting there's two of you in there," Spring-Man said. "How does that work anyway?" Knuckles asked. "It's kind of a thing by the fact that I, or we went to sleep for 500 years," Pyra explained. "Likely a long story but let's keep focus right now," Chrom said. "Lady Palutena should be in the large palace in the distance. Let's go," Pit said.

As they walked, no being appeared at all.

"Is it usually this quiet?" Terra asked. "No. Never this quiet," Pit responded. "Let's not mind that right now," Geno said. "Yeah, I still find it strange though," Zeke said. "You always find things strange, my prince," Pandoria said.

They arrived at the big palace.

"Whoa. Riki seen big palaces but this is enormous," Riki said. "I take it she has a throne," Byleth said. "Yeah. Why?" Pit asked. "Because it's right there," Byleth responded.

There was a throne, but it was empty.

"Lady Palutena? We came to see you," Pit said. "Oh, I'm sure she's too busy to take your plea boy," said another voice behind the throne. "Ganondorf!" Sheik exclaimed.

Ganondorf came out from behind the throne. All of our heroes got their weapons ready.

"I recommend you put those away," Ganondorf said, "You have no chance here."

Suddenly, from behind every pillar, all of the other villains came out.

"I recommend that you give up, then we may spare you," Ganondorf said. "That's tempting, but we have other plans," Snake said.

Snake immediately threw many smoke grenades on the ground and blinded all of the villains.

"Quickly! Escape!" Chrom yelled.

All of our heroes were scattering to get out of Palutena's palace. Pit immediately got his phone.

"Come in! Come in!" Pit yelled. "What's wrong Pit?" Mario asked. "It's a trap!" Pit yelled. "What!?" Mario yelled through the phone.

The Subspace ship revealed itself. It shot a missile at our heroes' ship and it blew up.

"No, no, no," Pit said. "Pit! Come in! Pit!" Mario yelled through the phone.

All of the villains came out of the smoke.

"Hm, we would fight all of you, but you alone match our power. But someone has been wanting this fight for a long time now. I'll leave it to him," Ganondorf said as the tractor beam picked up all of the villains.

Then from another tractor, a hooded being appeared and walked forward slowly.

"And who the hell are you!?" Barret yelled as he got his hand blaster out. "My, you don't remember me with this on, do you?" the hooded man asked.

He took off the hood and he revealed himself.

"No," Barret said. "Who is it?" Mega Man asked. "It's, it's…"

40: The One Winged Angel

"Pit! Anyone! Respond!" Mario yelled through the phone. "It was an ambush. They found out Meta Knight's role. They knew we would go," Samus said. "May day! Threat!" Snake yelled through. "Who is it? Tell us!" Mario yelled.

Cloud immediately felt something through the air as if a headache was hitting.

"Cloud! You alright?" Sora asked. "Where's the Arwing?" Cloud asked. "In the Great Fox as usual. Why?" Fox asked. "I need to go. Now," Cloud said. "Fine, just, fine," Fox said.

Cloud immediately ran to the Arwing and left the Comet Observatory in a hurry.

"Guys," Barret said with fear. "Barret! Who's the threat!?" Tifa yelled. "It's, it's… Sephiroth," Barret responded.

Tifa and Aerith looked at each other with concerned expressions.

"Who is it?" Mario asked. "Cloud is their only hope," Tifa said.

Back in Skyworld, all of the heroes got their weapons ready as Sephiroth began ascending.

"He's just another villain. He'll go down like the rest," Zeke said.

"Hm, you know, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time now. Now, I will give your army, despair," Sephiroth said as the clouds above him began turning a dark shade of gray.

"Look, no hesitation, no…" Chrom said but was stopped as he was stabbed in the chest. "No!" Barret yelled as he began shooting.

Sephiroth jumped into the air and dodged all of the bullets, then immediately stabbed Barret in the chest and dodged everyone else's attacks.

"Where did he go!?" Pit yelled. "Don't underestimate him," Sheik said, "Ah!" Sheik was stabbed.

Pit saw Sephiroth charging at him and got his blades and countered the attack.

"You don't even know how to fly," Sephiroth said as he stabbed Pit.

Knuckles came gliding in to punch Sephiroth but he took notice of this and slashed Knuckles in mid-air.

"Pathetic," Sephiroth said as a single wing popped out of his back.

Sephiroth now began a huge massacre. Turning many fighters into trophies. All of them, being hit by Sephiroth's sword.

"How many spirits does he have!?" Agent 3 exclaimed. "Let's see," Reyn said. He then realized something. "How many Reyn!?" Zeke yelled. "None," Reyn said as he was then stabbed.

"No!" Zeke yelled as he fought Sephiroth.

"You're good, but it won't be enough," Sephiroth said.

Sephiroth then began charging an explosion spell from his hand and he let go of it. A huge explosion happened.

"No one could possibly survive that," Geno said. "Wait," Ryu said.

Suddenly Sephiroth walked out of the fire as if nothing happened to him.

Greninja appeared behind him but Sephiroth turned around and slashed him.

Sephiroth then charged at Mega Man and stabbed him in the neck.

"NO!" Geno yelled as he shot a huge fire blast.

Sephiroth just dodged every attack and stabbed Geno, then Ryu, then Riki. Everyone was gone, except for Pyra/Mythra.

Mythra switched over and began raining arrows of light from the sky.

"You will not get away with this!" Mythra yelled. "Hm, if you think you have the power, then you are mistaken," Sephiroth said.

Sephiroth dodged all of the arrows of light and as Mythra was shooting, she was grabbed by someone and thrown behind some debris.

It was Cloud, with a new sword as well.

"Cloud," Mythra said. "Go. Warn the others. I'll distract him," Cloud said. "What?" Mythra questioned.

Cloud put Mythra in his Arwing, and activated auto-pilot and it immediately left.

"CLOUD!" Mythra yelled.

Cloud charged at Sephiroth yelling, "SEPHIROTH!"

Sephiroth turned around and both their swords clashed.

"Hello, Cloud," Sephiroth said.

They both had equal strength and Sephiroth was even launched into the air.

Cloud spun his sword and clashed once again with Sephiroth's. Then the sword was separated into seven. Sephiroth even looked surprised.

Cloud slashed Sephiroth multiple times and they both landed on the ground on their feet.

Cloud turned around and said, "Stay where you belong. In my memories." Sephiroth gave Cloud a glare and said, "I will never be… a memory."

Skyworld was enveloped in the Subspace Emissary.

Back in the Comet Observatory, Mario looked as if he were to cry.

"No! No, no, no. All of them. No," Mario said. "Mario," Samus said quietly.

Mario then hit the ground hard.

"How many!? No!" Mario yelled. "Mythra is still out there. We're still here. As long as there are people who are willing to continue their fight, then they live forever," Dunban said.

Mario got up.

"They did not fall in vain. Let's make sure they didn't," Mario said.

41: A Block in a Hard Place

The Arwing was navigating through space, searching for the Comet Observatory, but in the battle, it received a fuel leak.

"No, no, no. Come on! I need to get back!" Mythra yelled.

The Arwing shut off and began floating onto a planet.

"What the? I thought every world was taken?" Mythra questioned.

The Arwing flew quickly into this new world.

"No! No! Slow down! Slow down!" Mythra yelled.

The Arwing crashed into a mountain and landed in a dark, desolate cave.

Mythra got out of the Arwing and began making a fire.

"I can't believe it. First Rex, then all of them. What's the point of this?" Mythra questioned. "We can't lose hope Mythra," Pyra said within their minds, "They're still out there. We need to warn others." "How? We're stranded here, the phone has no service," Mythra said. "I don't know, but Rex wouldn't have given up," Pyra said. "Hm, that's for certain. The Arwing is beyond repair. Maybe there's someone here with a ship," Mythra said. "Yeah, the only problem is getting out," Pyra said. "Hm, and I thought I was the one who brought the bad news," Mythra said.

Suddenly, noises could be heard from behind one of the cave's walls.

"Is that me?" Mythra asked. "It must be both of us. I can hear it too," Pyra responded.

Mythra got her sword out and readied for a possible attack.

The Cave walls were broken in two cube shapes and a cube shaped man came out. He was wearing blue plants with a cyan shirt. He had purple eyes that looked like cubes and black hair and a beard.

"Hi, I'm Steve," he said. "Uh, hi Steve?" Mythra questioned. "Come on. Let's go back to my place," Steve said as he went back through the tunnel.

Mythra had no choice but to follow Steve. Since she was a little taller than Steve, she had to crouch to get out of the tunnel.

They made it out where Mythra saw that the entire world was made out of cubes. The Sun was a cube. The trees, even the animals were all cubes.

"Uh, Steve. Where are we?" Mythra asked. "Why, this is Minecraft of course. A world where me and my sister live," Steve said. "Okay, so where is this house of yours?" Mythra asked. "Come on. I'll show you. You're not the only fighter to be here," Steve said. "Wait. Do you know about the Continuance?" Mythra asked. "Yeah. About all those worlds too. Hm, you look injured like the other guys. Let's get you all healed up," Steve said.

Mythra followed Steve into a house.

"Cube as well," Mythra said. "Come in. My sister won't mind. She'll be back soon," Steve said. "Okay," Mythra said.

Mythra entered the house and Steve handed her a potion.

"Uh, what's this?" Mythra asked. "Potion of Healing. Should heal those wounds of yours," Steve responded. "Oh, uh thanks," Mythra said as she drank it. It immediately healed all her wounds. "Wow, this stuff actually worked," Mythra said. "Had doubts?" Steve asked, "Anyway, I just talked to two fighters and they said they want to talk to you." "Fine, let's see who it is," Mythra said.

Mythra walked in the other room and found Meta Knight and King Dedede sitting.

"Mythra, I assume," Meta Knight said. "Yes, and who are you?" Mythra asked. "I assume you've heard of me. The spy for your army," Meta Knight said. "Meta Knight. What are you doing here? You gave us the message to meet you at Skyworld," Mythra said. "We were caught. We tried to escape, but the villains found us out. They took the pager that could communicate with you guys," King Dedede explained. "And now we are stranded, like you, here on this planet," Meta Knight added.

"Yeah. Stranded. My phone doesn't work here. No chance at escaping," Mythra said. "Well, not exactly. You see, my ship, The Halberd, did sustain damage when we landed, but it's still usable. The only problem is we need power. We have coal, the only thing we need is fire and I take it your other half could help us with that problem," Meta Knight said.

Pyra switched over.

"I should be able to help with that," Pyra said. "Excellent. Only one more thing," Meta Knight said. "What?" Pyra asked. "We need an electrical conductor. I assume our new friends here have one. The only problem is convincing them," Meta Knight said. "They're fighters too," Pyra said. "Yes, but this world I find strange. Not on any maps. It seemed like they purposefully decided to stay that way," Meta Knight said. "Why?" Pyra asked. "That is a question we'll need to ask them," Meta Knight responded.

Outside, Steve was chopping a tree down to get more wood.

"Ah, perfect. Now the house can be complete," Steve said. Then from a distance, another person was walking toward him. This one was a woman with brown pants and a green shirt. As well as orange hair.

"Alex," Steve said. "Hey Steve. Just busy hunting for more food. How are our guests doing?" Alex asked. "Just fine. We got a new one today," Steve said. "More fighters. Wow," Alex said. "Yup. They keep wanting to drag Minecraft into their war. I fear it may come to that soon," Steve said. "I got to be honest, we have been away from the rest of the universe for too long. Perhaps it is time we join in," Alex said. "Maybe you're right. I get the feeling they need our help, so we'll give it," Steve said.

It was now nighttime and they were all talking.

"Wow, this food. It is the best," Pyra said. "Wow, you changed quickly," Steve said. "Oh, right sorry. Two personalities in here,' Pyra said. "Don't know what that means but I'll take your word for it," Steve said. "So, Steve, Alex, we wanted to discuss something with you," Meta Knight said. "Yes, we'll help you," Alex said. "Wait, that easy?" King Dedede questioned. "Come with us. We need to show you something," Steve said.

They walked toward a cave and it turned out that this cave was bright and luminous.

"What is this place?" Pyra asked. "The temple… of Smash," Steve said. "The runes on the wall. They're ancient," Meta Knight said. "They're from a being known as Tabuu. The being that created the Continuance," Alex explained. "Tabuu. He's the one who wanted to rule the entire universe so long ago," Steve said. "So how come this planet is not on any charts or maps?" Pyra asked. "When Tabuu rose to power, the people of this planet wanted to stay out of it," Steve responded. "So, you knew about all of us," Pyra said. "Yes. We wanted peace, unfortunately when the Master and Crazy Hands were corrupted, it seemed like our world was to be discovered at any time, so we kept with our lives, but we now realize we've been away from the universe for far too long, so we've decided to help with your cause," Alex said.

The group walked to the Halberd where they began rebuilding. Steve and Alex took care of changing the ship's energy to redstone energy. At last, their ticket off the planet was complete.

"There it is. It's better then nothing," Meta Knight said. "Once we leave this world, the Subspace Army will come. Are you sure you want to do this?" Pyra asked. "It's about time we left and helped out," Steve said as he was packing multiple items in Shulker Boxes. "It's a risk we have to take," Alex said. "Fine. Let's go then." Meta Knight said.

The Halberd took flight and left the world of Minecraft. As they left, they saw multiple ships fly down to the surface and Minecraft became a part of the Subspace Emissary.

"How many did you say that stayed in the Observatory?" Meta Knight asked. "Some, while a majority of us, were taken down by Sephiroth," Pyra said. "Then we need to make haste. It's likely that the Subspace Army knows the location of the Comet Observatory," Meta Knight said.

42: Attack on the Comet Observatory

As our remaining heroes were training, Rosalina was meditating out in the open, and Fox decided to talk to her.

"I can't believe that they're gone," Rosalina said. "I'm sure we'll get them back. We'll make do with our remaining fighters," Fox said. "I'm sure we will. It's just, how do we enter Subspace?" Rosalina asked. "I don't know, but we'll find a way," Fox said.

Rosalina nodded and they decided to go back to the rest but at that moment, Rosalina was suddenly hit by a hook and taken away from the Comet Observatory.

"Rosalina!" Fox yelled.

Fox then squinted at something coming closer to the Comet Observatory. It turned out it was a missile.

"Oh no! Mayday! Mayday! We're being attacked!" Fox yelled as he ran.

The missile hit the Comet Observatory and the entire thing tilted away.

"What the!?" Mario yelled as he began falling. Luckily Min Min grabbed him as she was hanging from a pole she grabbed.

"Everyone! Evacuate!" Mario yelled.

Samus, Fox, Captain Falcon, Sora, Luigi and Tails immediately went into their ships and took off.

"Oh shoot! They're still in there!" Tails yelled. "Let's get them out then!" Captain Falcon yelled.

They attempted to get closer but the enemy ships kept firing.

"Damn! They can never leave us alone!" Nia yelled. "My lady! Watch out!" Dromarch yelled as he pushed her out of the way of some falling debris.

"We're sitting ducks out here!" Blaze yelled. "Hey!" Donald yelled. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, pipe it in duck," Silver said as he flew them to the top.

"Guys! We can't get close!" Samus yelled through the intercoms. "We'll have to jump it then," Mario said. "Impossible! It's too far," Tails said. "Nothing is possible guys," Mario said.

Kazooie was flying around as Banjo was grabbing people.

"Jeez! Some of you could lose a couple of pounds!" Kazooie complained. "Just get out of here!" Yuffie yelled. "Alright!" Kazooie yelled.

Shadow and Sheik were teleporting everywhere, taking people to the top. Tora and Poppi were grabbing on to people as well. R.O.B kept grabbing as many people too.

They made it at the top where they were now surrounded by enemy ships.

"Grahaha, Mario, you will finally meet your end. At long last," said Bowser. "We don't have to do this Bowser!" Mario yelled. "Oh, but it's too late now," Bowser said as he was about to press another.

Suddenly, multiple enemy ships exploded.

"What!? What was that!?" Bowser yelled. "Miss me much?" Meta Knight asked through the intercoms.

The Halberd came to the rescue and opened its hangar. Through there, King Dedede and Pyra were waiting.

"Hurry! This way!" King Dedede yelled. "Let's a go!" Mario ordered. Everyone else nodded and a majority of them hopped on.

"No! Stop them!" Bowser yelled. "We can't! Weapon systems have exploded!" Kamek yelled. "By who!" Bowser yelled. "Hi," said a voice behind him. "I'm Steve," Steve said. "Hi Steve," Bowser said, "Now die!"

Bowser charged at him but Steve dodged. Then Steve immediately mined outside and with his Elytra wings, he flew out. Alex also flew beside him.

"Uh, who are those guys?" Sonic asked. "Just some friends we met," Pyra responded. "Oh, alright then," Sonic said.

"Everyone! Follow the Halberd! There's only one other world left!" Mario yelled.

The Halberd left immediately and every other ship followed behind it as fast as they could.

"No. No. No!" Bowser yelled. "I take it you failed your mission," Ganondorf said, "No matter. They only have one more place to go, and I believe it's time to test out our new cannon."

43: The Way into Subspace

Every hero arrives in R.O.B's world since it is the last world yet to be consumed by the Subspace Emissary.

"This it it. Our last base of operation," Mario said. "We don't have much time. They'll likely be here at any moment," Meta Knight said. "Then we need to act fast," Mòrag said. "Agreed. Anyone have any idea how to enter Subspace?" Fox asked. "We won't have enough power. Not all of us combined anyway," Mickey said. "He's right. Without Palutena or any of the other Guardians of Light, it will not be enough," Mythra said. "I may know of a way," Meta Knight said, "I'll need all of you to follow me."

Meta Knight walked to a new hallway where a door was shut.

"I… I don't remember this door," R.O.B said. "That is because Famicom deleted it from your memory bank," Meta Knight said. "Famicom," R.O.B said.

Meta Knight pried the door open with his sword and inside were eight pods, each containing a symbol, but not the one from the Continuance.

One had a mushroom, two letters that said "DK", an egg, a triforce, a star, a Star Fox symbol, a pokeball, and a screw attack.

"How… How did these symbols get here?" Fox asked. "They automatically choose the symbol for whoever the eight is," Meta Knight responded.

"When the Subspace Army took Famicom, they looked through its memories. They found a way to create an orb powerful enough to enter Subspace freely. It only takes one thing," Meta Knight said.

"What does it take?" Samus asked. "The eight… They need to transfer power within themselves," Meta Knight responded. "That has never been attempted. We don't know if… if they'll survive the procedure," R.O.B said. "That's why I hesitated to come here," Meta Knight said. "What's wrong with us transferring the power within ourselves?" Donkey Kong asked. "When you transfer your power within someone, it transfers a great amount of energy. Although since you all have the equal amount of energy within yourselves, then it could be a dangerous amount if transferred within each other," R.O.B said.

"No, they can't go through with this," Luigi said. "Luigi, I don't want to, but the universe depends on it," Mario said. "I'm afraid he's right. We agree," Samus said.

The eight each entered their own pod.

"We must be ready to turn on, and off the machine. Okay. Everyone, get to your position," Meta Knight said.

Everyone got behind the glass wall and watched.

"Starting in 3, 2, 1," R.O.B said.

Meta Knight pulled the lever up and the eight were all glowing rainbow. Green electricity began transferring from Mario, to Donkey Kong, to Link, to Samus, to Yoshi, to Kirby, to Fox, and finally Pikachu. The green electricity then made up the Continuance symbol.

The green electricity began zapping into the center and began forming an orb.

"More power!" Meta Knight yelled.

R.O.B turned up the power and the green electricity turned into a rainbow color.

"Come on. Just hang on a little longer bro," Luigi said.

The orb finally was complete.

"Shut it off! Now!" R.O.B yelled

Meta Knight immediately shut off the machine. The eight's pods opened and they all fell to the ground.

"Mario!" Luigi yelled as he ran inside. Luigi got him up. "Oh, that… that was a lot. Did it work?" Mario asked. "It did. We stand a chance at last. This power will only be enough for each of our ships," Meta Knight said. "Great, let's go win this war," Mario said.

44: Into Subspace

The Subspace Army's ship arrived in R.O.B's world.

"Hm, one last one. Let's activate the special weapon, shall we," Ganondorf said. "Very well. Activating the Subspace Cannon Mark II," Dr. Eggman said.

The Subspace Army's ship began to take a new form. A huge bowl of Subspace appeared behind it as it transformed into a cannon. A huge one, capable of devouring worlds.

Every villain stood on a platform alongside Ganondorf.

"Fire when ready," Ganondorf said.

"Firing in 3, 2, 1," Dr. Wily said.

The cannon turned a dark purple and shot a huge load of Subspace at the world. It was immediately consumed, and at last the villains have taken every world in the universe.

"At last. It is done. How many fighters?" Ganondorf asked. Dr. Eggman took a look at his tablet.

"What!? Impossible!" Eggman exclaimed. "What is it?" Ganondorf asked. "It says here that no fighters were captured!" Eggman yelled. "Impossible, unless…" Ganondorf said.

He then looked at the distance and saw three objects flying toward the cannon. It was the Halberd, Great Fox, and Tails' facility.

"Hm, they think they could enter. Fire the cannons. No need to waste much firepower on them," Ganondorf said.

The small cannons began firing one at a time. The three ships then accelerated but it was pointless. The cannons hit each ship, until one blasted each ship and blew up each ship.

"We'll pick up the remains," Ganondorf said. "Wait! What is that?!" Bowser yelled. "What!" Ganondorf yelled.

From the smoke of each big ship, multiple ships came flying through. Arwings, Odyssey, Gummi Ship, Tornado, Falcon Flier, and Gunship came flying through space toward Subspace.

"No! Fire everything! Don't let them through!" Ganondorf yelled.

The Subspace ship fired every cannon, but the ships were too small to be hit.

Then from the sideline, a star was flying through the air. Kirby, with a huge sword, flew toward the Subspace Ship at high speed and destroyed it.

All the villains were furious and went inside the Subspace Bubble.

All of our heroes' ships entered the Subspace Emissary.

45: Reunion

All of our heroes gathered together, readied their weapons, and prepared to make their crusade on the Subspace Emissary.

"First things first. Find our friends," Mario said. "They'll be over here. Come follow," Meta Knight said.

They walked through in what seemed to be an eternal darkness. Along the darkness were the spirits of those who were not fighters.

"All this suffering, and for what," Lucario said. "Darkness everywhere. Even darker than the realm of darkness," Riku said. "That's what Subspace is," R.O.B said.

They made it to a room that contained the trophies of every fighter. Each shelf was engraved with a name.

"They're all here," Zelda said with hope. "Wait, this feels too easy," Chun Li said. "There's one trophy missing here," Samus said. "Famicom," R.O.B said.

Suddenly the droid landed in front of the group, and it didn't look friendly.

"No. Famicom. Stop," R.O.B said.

Famicom did not listen. It charged at the group. R.O.B stopped it from attacking the others.

"Famicom! Please! I'm your friend!" R.O.B yelled.

Famicom kept attacking.

"Tails, try to hack it or something," Sonic said. "Right," Tails said as he went to the nearest computer.

"Everyone! Awaken the others and protect Tails!" Samus yelled.

Everyone nodded as they grabbed a trophy and awakened every fighter.

R.O.B and Famicom kept.

"No! Its files are locked!" Tails yelled. "Here! Let me try!" Sora yelled.

Sora grabbed his Keyblade and the file was unlocked.

"Perfect! Now hold it!" Tails yelled "I'll try!" Sora yelled.

Tails was hacking until he finally did it.

Famicom was about to shoot a laser at R.O.B when it shut off.

"Rebooting systems in 3, 2, 1" it said.

Famicom woke up and its red eyes turned back to normal.

"R.O.B?" Famicom questioned. It looked around and saw everyone. "What… What have I done?" Famicom asked. "It wasn't your fault. We still have a chance to fix this," R.O.B said. "No. I sensed another presence. The Master and Crazy Hands are not the ones in control," Famicom said. "What do you mean?" R.O.B asked. "There's something else. Something stronger. The being that existed since the beginning of time," Famicom responded. "Tabuu," Steve said. "I believe so. We need to hurry. Tabuu is regaining power as we speak," Famicom said. "Come on everyone! We don't have much time!" Mario yelled.

Every hero ran with Mario but Kirby saw a weird badge and decided to eat it and follow the rest.

46: The True Enemy & Realization

The villains were walking forward when Ganondorf grabbed a Subspace Cannon and blasted all of them.

"Pathetic. Did you all think I would want to share my universe?" Ganondorf questioned.

Ganondorf made it to a cliffside and bowed down. The Master Hand and Crazy Hand came out of the darkness as they began cackling.

"My Masters. I have done. Every world. The universe is ours," Ganondorf said.

The Master and Crazy Hand were being held back by chains of blue.

"What!?' Ganondorf yelled.

From the chains, a being was holding the Master and Crazy Hand.

"My, what a good job you have done. Now peace can finally happen," he said. "No! You manipulated me!" Ganondorf yelled angrily.

Ganondorf jumped up and was about to attack the being but the being blasted him away. It freed the Master and Crazy hand but turned Ganondorf into a trophy.

The Master and Crazy Hand got back up and charged at Tabuu, but Tabuu held them still, as he siphoned their remaining power.

The heroes arrived, to see the hands being siphoned by Tabuu.

"They all served their purpose. And I see you all have arrived just in time. Peace is finally happening," Tabuu said. "Tabuu," Mario said angrily. "Guys, I don't like this," Sora said. "Don't put down your guard," Shulk said. "Are we going to clobber him or what?" Donkey Kong asked.

Tabuu began charging energy into his hand and then blasted it.

All of the heroes were hit and they all turned into trophies. Now they lay there, in the Subspace Emissary, with no life at all.

"It… is done. At last," Tabuu said.

He tilted his head down, as he began to realize something.

"The realization nearly broke his mind."

Tabuu opened his eyes.

"With his mission complete, Tabuu was now just a being without a purpose. The victor without a war was sentenced to spend all of eternity… alone," I said.

"Who… who said that?" Tabuu questioned.

"Basking in the boundless silence of his universe, Tabuu ascended into a previously unattainable level of consciousness," I said.

Tabuu turned around and began squinting.

"He became aware of another. He became aware of… of the," I stopped because Tabuu was looking at something that I could not see.

"I see you," Tabuu said.

I gasped in realization. I was now breathing hard, because this had never happened before.

"There are realities beyond my own," Tabuu said as he crept closer to me.

I shut off the program, and I knew I was… afraid.

47: Breaking My Oath

I was still frightened of what just happened.

"I have seen everything. No. Created everything that could ever possibly happen, and yet. What the hell is this?" I said, "If a hunger like that were to be unleashed in the Omniverse."

Suddenly the glass around me turned a different shade of color as I heard the echoes of Tabuu, "I will find you."

"Even I could not imagine the horrors that might follow," I finished, "No, no, no. Even that thing is not as invincible as he might think he is. For there is still hope for this universe. No. One last hope… for all of us."

We go back into the Subspace with the trophy of Kirby. My presence appeared before him, waiting. The trophy then began to glow.

"Oh, you're so close. I could awaken him. I could intervene. I could save the Omniverse and so many, many lives," I said.

I turned around quickly as I felt something.

"I will find you," I heard.

I then realized that Tabuu was gaining closer.

"Come on. Hurry. Please," I said. The trophy glowed brighter and brighter. "Yes. Yes!" I said in excitement. It then stopped glowing immediately. "Wait, what are you? Huh, huh. No. Come on. You're our only hope. Wake up. Please," I said.

I then sighed.

"I have no choice," I said.

I wasn't physically there, but I still touched the base of the trophy.

"You," I said. Kirby turned around in a confused manner. "I'm talking. Use this device. You are the only hope for the Omniverse. For all of reality. I'll keep Tabuu busy as long as I can, but make haste," I told him.

I left him a box, with the power that was capable of traversing to any reality. Kirby touched it and was immediately teleported out of there.

We're now back at the nexus point of this universe.

"He did. He really did it. There's still a bit of hope left," I said.

Suddenly, the glass broke as Tabuu entered this reality outside of reality.

48: The End? For Now

"I found you! I finally found you!" He said as he shot a beam of darkness at me. "All these realities. All this chaos. They need to be silenced," he said. "You do not have to do this," I told him. "Oh, but it is my purpose," he said.

He charged at me and we began battling. He shot a laser but I created a bubble around myself to block his shot. I then broke the x and created a bubble around him and sent him flying away.

"I do not understand. This should not be possible," I said. He then appeared behind me and said, "Oh, but anything is possible in the Omniverse. You decreed it so."

He then hit me and sent me flying into the flame of his universe. I fell in front of Peach's Castle.

"All that suffering. And you're the cause of it and all you did was watch," he said. "I swore an Oath! I will not control the destinies I created. They have their own natural order," I told him.

Tabuu then landed on the ground and said, "I am the natural order. I will bring peace for it is my purpose and you simply lack the will to stop me."

He shot a laser but I created a shield in time and began charging at him.

I knocked him back. He shook his head and began getting angrier.

I took off my robe and revealed my armor.

"You do not know the power of my will," I said.

He launched at me. I dodged, then I punched. He tried to go for another punch but I dodged again. I activated my mega punch and hit him but it did nothing. Then he launched at me and a portal was opened to the other worlds of this universe. He then pummeled me into the ground and punched me rapidly and we were teleported into many worlds until we ended up in his section of the universe.

"Honestly, isn't this more fun than just watching? Also it's a lot less creepy on your part," Tabuu said, "The limits of the Omniverse are boundless for beings like us, but I didn't evolve by staying inside the lines."

He then had me by the head and he was slowly killing me. I screamed but luckily I was charging my fist and punched him and teleported off somewhere.

"Fine. Run. Watch. It doesn't matter. No one can stop me now," he said.

I had to teleport to a universe far from his watch. From there I watched the only hope in the entire Omniverse. There, for now it is up to Kirby to save everything.
