Guest: Thanks for the review buddy! It means a lot to me! ;)

Author's note:

Hey Guys, Welcome back to another chapter of World of Light Deluxe,

In the last chapter you only got a glimpse at the events of World of Light with Kirby and Bandana Dee fighting the corrupted by Galeem Mario at the beginning,

Well I wanted to differentiate my Take on World of Light form others like Krosshair's, It's also a way to tribute the Mega Man Archie Comics (Great series btw, It's basically what the Archie Sonic Comics would be like if Ian was there on Day one with not that many mandates for him to worry about as well)

It's also a way to tribute the opening of the first issue of the former comic series with how it starts with Rock just ready to bust into Wily's first castle to defeat him. I hope you don't mind! ;) (As said in the previous chapter, the main World of Light Event will begin in Chapter 3)

There will be more details will be explained bellow, So let's get on with the story:

Notes:

Italics mean Dreams, Flashbacks and Written works.

Underlined means !Spoilers! Speaking

Bold means both Master Hand and Crazy Hand Speaking

Chapter 2: Dawn of a New Battle Part 2

Smash Mansion, Main Cafeteria/Hall:

"What!" Said a good chunk of the Smashers with their reactions ranging from fear to surprise to horror at what they have just heard what Samus has just said. "Are you serious Samus!?"

"…Unfortunately yes…" She answered to them with a grim tone. "As much as I hate to say this but it's true…."

A sense of dread soon appeared on those whom competed during the Brawl tournament (Save for Ganondorf and Ridley whom simply gave some shrugs at what the bounty hunter has said, more so for the latter.) while the others whom were invited to the Sm4sh Tournament gave out similar reactions due to what happened with the Master Core, Sherk and Goku, while not as bad as the incident as Tabuu nearly gave them, With Lucina, Robin, Shulk, Greninja and Mega Man all having some traumic memories about the Latter experience to boot.

Likewise, Red and his Pokémon had looks of worry on their faces, Something Lucas, Leaf and her Charizard Chari noticed as well while Bowser and Wario simply glared back at the crowd. Something the Former's eight kids, Boshi Guzma, His Pokemon, His Admin Plumeria and Stowaway Grunts Rapp, Tupp and Zipp took noticed of.

"So I take that Bowser and the others were involved?" Said Wii Fit Trainer as she shot a glance at Bowser, Ganondorf, Wario, Ridley and Wolf. "You guys were involved with Tabuu during the brawl tourney right?"

"Surely you guys have something to do with it right?" She continued as many of the ultimate newcommers shot a glance at them. "You help Tabuu with his plan I presume?"

While Ridley and Ganondorf simply ignored the comment made by Wii Fit when she brought up the time they allied with Tabuu just for Power, Bowser and Wario both took offense to her words however.

"For the record, Me and Wario here were bribed with Power and Money by Ganony!" He shouted back at them. "And for the record, How the two of us know that Master Hand wasn't himself at the time! Or the fact a glowing Blue guy was the puppet master behind that incident!"

"Yeah, And besides, It'll would be a-good opportunity to rub it into Mario's Face for a change!" Wario lashed out as well much to the annoyance of his red and green cousins whom rolled their eyes regarding his words. "Plus you should seen he's Face before he got launched into the dist-"

"A-Hem!" Mario snarled back with a glare on his eyes as he looked back at his cousin with anger in them.

"Oh eh sorry Coz," The Yellow capped Plumber replied back to his cousin with a fuax apologetic tone which Mario rolled his eyes at, aware of his cousin's behavior.

'Still the same as always Wario…. Mama mia…" Thought the Plumber to himself as he looked back Bowser whom was glaring daggers at Ganondorf.

"And Don't forget I haven't forgiven what you did to me at the Maze Ganony!" Bowser snarled back at Ganondorf whom was purposely ignoring him. "I THOUGHT WE'RE FRIENDS!"

"Whatever….." Said the Great King of Evil whom simply smirked back at him. "Your loss, not mine…."

Bowser was almost about to declare a blood feud on him before an "Ahem" noise from Guzma entered his reptilian ears.

"Hey Bowser, Mind holding the fist fights for now?" The Leader of Team Skull said back to him with a deadpan tone in his voice. "And also you know not make a scene in front of your kids…."

Knowing that he didn't want to make a scene just out of his grudge against Ganondorf due to firing a subspace arrow at him in the realm of Subspace, Bowser simply let out a grumble at his fellow Villain before he returned to his seat.

"Something bothering you Guzma?" Plumeria said back to her boss as she and his Golispod looked back at him.

"Are you alright?" Said the Hard Shell Pokémon to his master with concern along with the latter's Pinsir and Ariados.

"…I'm fine, you guys…" Said the Leader of the now disbanded Team Skull whom looked back at his admin and starter, A bit with some awkwardness due to the Spell that lifts the language barrier on Pokémon in the Smash Mansion.

"I just want to get this tournament over and done with…" He answered back to them. "That's all, hopefully without dealing with another Necrozma…."

The two of them gave some nods back, More so with Golispod knowing his trainer's issues with the past regarding tournaments along with fighting the Prism Pokémon with him and Lusamine as well.

"Got issues with the tourney huh?" Boshi said back to Leader of Team Skull. "You better not get cold feet before this Guzma,"

"*Hpmm* It's nothing about the tourney right now," Said the Leader of team Skull back to one of the few people he considers a friend at the moment. "I'm just bothered by this Galeem, that's all…."

'Well you better not get cold feet before the tourney even starts.' Boshi said back to the Punk with a smirk. "I don't want you or Wario calling the quits before we can crush Yoshi, Mario or even that Incineroar guy you have beef with."

"…Fair enough." Guzma answered back to the shades wearing Yoshi. "I just want to get this tourney over and done with as well…"

"Well you sure you left your usual ego behind today?" Boshi questioned back to him with some surprise, "Whatever, Just make sure to get it back before the tourney starts for real…"

Guzma simply gave his own "Whatever," to Boshi as he then took out a small reddish Brown Gemstone shaped like a diamond with a Fist inside of it from his pocket

'If Hau's right about this tournament may be what I need to find myself…It better be right!' He thought to himself, which he then placing it back into his pocket.

To the Punk's surprise, the crowd are now currently shooting glares at Wolf whom simply rolled his eye back at them.

"*Hpmm*, Before anybody ask, I got my invite late so I'm wasn't involved with those Subspace guys," Wolf snarked back to the crowd whom were glaring at him due to his status as a villain, "Same with the Female Puffball and Toony Elf!"

"Hey!" Yelled Toon whom was about to point his sword at him which Young Link quickly patted him on the back.

"Hey, Toon take it easy for now…." The young form of the Hero of Time said to his counterpart with some concern. "Don't try to start a fight when we already have problems!"

Deciding that his counterpart has a point, Toon gave a nod back to Young and sheathed his sword, but not before shooting a glare back at Wolf whom simply gave a 'whatever' look back at him and Jliggypuff…Whom was trying her best not to go full Darmanitan on him from above the stage.

"I understand all of us haven't recovered from the incidents from the more recent tournaments…." The Bounty hunter continued to the crowd with her tone becoming more and more solemn by the minute. "But you need to understand that this new crisis is real and-"

"Hey Samus, are you REALLY sure's this Galeem isn't related to Tabuu?" interrupted a reporter in both a shocked and surprised tone as her fellow newcaster and journalist started to crowd around the stage. "If so, How?"

"I thought you guys said that this sort of thing won't happened for this Tournament!" Said another in shock as he held his mic towards the stage. "You said nothing like Tabuu, Sherk, Goku and the Master core will happened here again!"

"Well at least we know the reason why….." Said a third with a very short mustache whom shot a glare of rage towards both Corrin and Kamui. "Cornbread and Corndog!"

"They cursed us all when they entered the tournament, The curse of the Fire Emblem has cursed us all!" HE continued as he glared at them with his pencil pointing towards the heirs of Valla like a spear dipped in posion. "It may have started with Roy Eliwood but the curse has certainly entered it's final stage with them! THEM I tell you!"

"The Curse of the Fire Emblem is why Sherk and Goku almost doomed us all I tell you! THEY DOOMED US ALL!"

"And we shall start saving ourselves by killing the Male Cor-"

*Slap!* He was soon slapped in the face by one of his fellow reporters whom shot a glare at him.

"Hey Matt, Mind holding your Rants till Samus explained the further details?" Said one Reporter whom was looking at the bounty hunter whom shot his fellow reporter with a glare. "Let her explain things before you badmouth the Fire Emblem guys again,"

"Even our readers are sick of it… And those guys hate Corrin as much as you do, But they know when to call the quits!"

Knowing that his outmatched Matt simply grumbled back to him as he shot another glare at Corrin and Kamui.

"Fine but don't come crying if the curse kills us all!" He shouted back to him before being directed to the enterance by the Mii fighter trio. "Or anybody in the Sm4sh Cast for that matter!"

"You'll see! YOU ALL SHALL SE-"

He was soon silenced by a slap on his face by Leo the Mii Brawler whom gave a glare back at him

"Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Save your sob stories for the Internet boards…." Snarled the Mii Fighter to the thankfully silenced Matt as he, Kai and Alice escorted the him and the crowd outside.

As soon as the paparazzi as left the hall, Samus then looked back at the crowd of her fellow Smashers with her firm look remaining on her face.

"I Supposed you want to know what's inside this disk right?" Samus answered back to the crowd as she quicky brought the disk to the projector.

"Well we need info on our new foe so anything of value would be helpful." Marth answered back to her as he then noticed ROB getting onto the stage.

"Hey ROB? What's up?" Pikachu questioned the Former Ancient Minster whom ingnored him and was currently approaching MegaMan.

"Hey ROB, What's wrong?" Said the Blue Bomber as the robot approached him.

The Machine simply gave out some bleeps which only Rock could understand but from what little he had said, it sounds quite horrifying.

Rock quickly rushed to Samus whom has finished loading the disk into the projector to show the others the message Master Hand has left them.

"Samus! There something ROB needs to show you!" Said the Doctor Light Number to his surrogated aunt figure.

"It's related to the current crisis I presume?" She answered back to him. "Well anything would be helpful right now at least."

Rock lead Samus to where ROB is so he can update her on what he has just said while the rest of the Smashers watch the message Master Hand left behind.

The Feelings of dread and horror soon returned but Diddy's reaction was a fusion of fear and shock when he heard and saw the message on screen.

"It's a joke right?" Said Diddy in surprise as Banjo, Kazooie and Dixie look back in shock at what they have just heard on the screen. "You got to be joking!"

"Something wrong Diddy?" the latter questioned her Boyfriend with some concern. "Some bothering about the subspace emissary bothering you?"

"Well, Well, it's just… that I haven't washed off all the memories when I fought Rayquaza back in the brawl tournament…." Diddy sighed back to his girlfriend as he took out a drawing of the green dragon.

It may have been a poor replication of what he could remember of the Beast but it's the green colors and yellow markings on Diddy's drawing makes it clear it's Rayquaza he drew up.

"Come on Did, It's not all gloom and doom… Right?" Dixie continued with a comforting smile before noticing her fellow monkey's face of fear.

"He…..was….. Brutal!" He shouted back to her with a traumatic memory of him being in the Sky High Pokémon as he quickly took them back in before they could dwell anymore.

"Trust me Dix, I would be Dinner for that guy had not been for Fox…" Said the Spider Monkey with some fear in his tone. "Heck I'm still worried about what if he didn't came to the rescue…"

"Diddy… Relax buddy, We're here." Banjo quickly answered back to his friend with a smile. "Even if we did run into you got us, DK and Fox by your side."

"Heh, Even if that overgrown Snake does try to fight us, We're show him the old one-two," Sneered Kazooie to the spider monkey in her usual tone. "Besides I'm itching for a fight just to brush up for the tourney…."

"Well you got a point, Kaz," Diddy said back to his friend with a smile as he gave a thumbs up towards her, Dixie and Banjo. "Thanks for the help."

"Well we friends after all…. And we watch each others backs!" Banjo answered back to him with a smile. "Won't be a Guh-Huh with out it!"

"Might a be a little on the cheesy side Banjo but it still works I guess…" Kazooie answered back to him with a smirk on her beak. "But I supposed that Samus wants to say something now?"

"Well you got a point Kazooie…." Diddy answered back to him with a smile as he looked onto the stage.

"Now some of you may have noticed that Master Hand has mentioned the Craggy Outlook….." Samus answered back to the crowd, The smashers whom were involved with the Subspace emissary incident nodding wit an agreement, But thanks to Rock and ROB, We have some info that can help us with that."

"It was once the place Master Hand fought against Galeem with his original Smashers…." She continued with a worried tone. "If he's message is true then we shall be heading there soon."

"Anyone who isn't a smasher, We need you to hold down the fort with Alice, Kai and Leo."

"Meet me and the others in the Hangar and your own aircrafts," She finished off as she reached the teleporter. "Anyone whom don't have their own ship, Get on board Meta Knight's Halberd."

Smash Manison, Air Craft Hanger, Inside the Halberd:

"Hey Red, Are you really sure you want to come with us?" Leaf questioned her boyfriend as he looked back at him with concern.

"I know you have bad memories of the Subspace incident but you can sit this one out and help the Mii Fighter Trio, Me and Chari can take care of Lucas for you."

"No Leaf, I'm letting you deal with this alone." Red answered back to her with his three starters nodding back in agreement. "Even if the Subspace incident left me with some scars…. I can't let you and Lucas handle this alone…."

"So I'm coming with you two to fight this Galeem no matter what."

Upon hearing the words come out of his Surrogated older brother's mouth, Lucas shed some tears and gave him a smile back.

"Thanks Red," He answered back to him with some relief in his tone.

"No problem," the Fifteen year old boy answered back to him with a smile, his Pokémon doing the same as well. "I got your back no matter what…"

Meanwhile on the ship, Lucina was currently sitting with her Boyfriend Shulk whom was having some worries on his mind right now.

"Shulk, are you alright?" Lucina questioned her boyfriend in concern.

"I'm fine Luci…." The Monado Wielder answered back to her as his migraine lessened enough for him to talk to her. "It's just been those nightmares been having lately…"

"Nightmares…. Like your Monado right?" She questioned him back with her concern still present.

"Well they could be a way that their tied to the Monado* but those dreams were different…"

"They all different in terms of what happened but they have one thing in common…"

"What are they?" She said back to him with worry seeping into her tone as she did.

"We're separated by beings of light and darkness with the Light being taking me and you being claimed by the dark one." He answered back to her with some worry in his own tone.

Lucina then looked back at him with a concern before giving him a pat on the back.

"Shulk, I know you're worried, I am as well… But as my Parents often said in the past, Our bonds are stronger then fate…" She answered back to him a smile.

"Even if your Nightmares did happened, We'll be able to overcome it if our bonds are strong enough…"

"Thanks Luci." Shulk answered back to her with a smile. "No wonder you and Fiora were great Friends during the Golden Chains incident with your Dad, Ryu, Ken and Zero."

"Well she spoke quite a lot about you, So it's only fair I help you out my love," The Ylissean Time Traveler answered back to him with a comforting smile.

"No matter what happens, We'll be there for each other…"

Smash Mansion, Air craft Hanger, Samus's Ship

"Oh yeah baby, Bring it on!" Pichu said back to her parents, Agumon, Samus, Mega Man and Rush whom are all currently in the Bounty Hunter's orange ship. "Whatever this Galeem lady is, we're take her on!"

"That's my baby girl!" Libre said back to her daughter with a smile of determination, "Pikachu and Samus fought Tabuu before so She doesn't stand a chance against us!"

"Don't think so simple you guys," Mega Man explained back to the Mother and Daughter duo with some concern shared by his robotic dog. "I may not be involved with Tabuu but if this Galeem IS really connected to him and the Master Core…"

"We're in for trouble….." He said back to them with fear as Rush shown some concern to his owner. "The three of us barely survived against that thing and let's not get into what happened with Sherk and Goku either…."

"Come on Rock, We also got Agumon on our side!" Pichu answered back to him with a smile while pointing to her new best friend whom was talking with her dad. "He got something similar to Mega Evolution so Galeem won't stand a chance against him!"

Meanwhile Pikachu was helping Agumon catch up to speed with the Subspace incident starting from when he was captured by them to power up their weapons to fighting Ridley while escaping the isle of the ancients.

"So ROB lost all his friends and family after all the Subspace Bombs went off there?" Agumon questioned the Yellow rodent with some surprise in his tone. "Must be pretty hard for him even after all this time…"

"It was…." Pikachu answered back to the Digimon with a sigh, "Even during the Sm4sh tournament he cannot wash away those scars of losing his fellow Units…. He's considered an endangered species at the moment because of this…"

"Same with Samus in her world…"

"How so?" Agumon questioned him with surprise at his new friend's father.

"It's a long story…." He answered back to him. "And one that's very personal to Samus…."

"I'll tell you another but not now, Let's focus on Galeem first."

Pikachu then went to check in with Rock and Rush with his Wife, Leaving Pichu free enough to interact with her new BFF.

"Hey Agumon are you nervous?" She questioned him as he held his claw with her tiny paws.

"Well…Kinda?" He answered back to her with a worried look on his face. "I have to admit, I'm a fan of the Tamer whom saved my home of File Island from an Evil Machindramon with his Mamemon but I never thought I'll be in something similar…."

"Agumon Relax," Pichu answered back to him with a smile. "We'll be fine, I promised!"

"Papa, and Auntie Samus fought Tabuu and won! Same with Rock, He helped kicked the butts of Sherk, Goku and the Master Core!"

"Ehh…Ok?" Agumon said back to his hyperactive friend with some surprise. "But from what I heard from your dad, He doesn't exactly call it a victory…"

"I know, He got a point there…." She answered back to him. "But the point is Agumon, If they can survived all those things during the previous tourneys, so can we…."

"And besides, we got each others backs as well, You can count on that." Pichu finished off with a smirk.

Upon hearing the words come out of Pichu's Mouth, Agumon gave a smile back of his own.

"We you got a point there, you may not be able to digivolve but we definitely got each others backs!" He said back to her with a smile.

"Yup you got it!" Pichu answered back to him. "No one's any match for the two of us!"

Smash Mansion, Air craft Hanger, The Odyssey

"Hey Coz, You're ready for this?" Goggles Said back to her cousin as they, Peach, Luigi, Daisy and Yoshi were all sitted in down with Mario. "Cause we can do this!"

"You mean YOU can do this…" Meggy said back to her blue cousin with her eyes rolling at him. "You fought against the Octarians twice, I'm just the Person people see as the loser of Inkopolis."

"Hey come on, Maybe defeating Galeem would help…Right?" The Blue Inkling said back to his more cynical cousin. "Even Desti would be able to see THAT."

Before Meggy could say anymore, Luigi beat her to the punch.

"Hey Goggles, I think you need to give Meggy Some space.….." He said back to him with some concern. "She's still worried about some things…"

While Goggles wanted to cheer up his cousin due to her constant loss streak back at home. He decided to talk with her later about this.

'Well coz, Hope this tournament can help you out….' He thought to himself as he sat next to Yoshi whom was eating some melons to ease his own worries.

"Hey Bro, Ready for take off?" Luigi questioned his older brother whom entered the room.

"All clear Luigi, Let's a-go."

Soon all the flyers and Air crafts soon took off the same place the Smashers were dropped off after the events of the Subspace emissary and the cliff closest to where the Isle of the Ancients once was, The Craggy Outlook.

But what they didn't know is that they're falling right into Galeem's hands, Her plans for her prefect world to be exact.

"Prefect just prefect…. They taken the bait…"

Author's notes:

Ok, before we get into the Author Notes, I do want to address some things regarding this story and my Manakete! Lucina Story Dragon Wings of Fate so here's a minor Q&A session regarding it:

Q: Since Dragon Wings of Fate Book 1 Rise of Dragons have yet to been finished, what would be it's fate because of this story?

A: For anybody whom liked that story, Rest assured I'm not throwing it under the bus just because of this story, So expect me rotating between both stories until DWoF B1 is finished (Same with any other projects that come after that story including it's sequel DWoF B2.)

Q:Is this story canon to the various side stories you have published in the past? (Eg: The Bonds that Tie Us, Draconic Scars, Squids Punks and Dragons and Sleepless Dino, Hyperactive Rodent) Is so, which ones are canon?

A:Yes, Most of them are canon to this story, The ones are not part of the Deluxe-Verse (This is what I will be classifying the Stories that are related to World of Light Deluxe) are:

-Ylissean Fire Bender (Avatar Au One shot that is basically a test drive for a potential story based on it based on Ticcytx's Fanarts)

-Angel Wings (Lucina/ Pit one shot set in the Sm4sh era with a sequel called Fire of Fire in the making)

-Shadows of the Life (Lucina/ Captain Falcon One shot celebrating the annoucement of Both Lucina and Robin in Sm4sh inspired by RieSonomura's stories)

Like wise, if you want to read my stories in chronological order (or at least until this story, Look back at both chapter 1 (It's at the beginning of it for those who are curious when this story takes place in my series) and my profile page for It. (Hey at least I'm not pulling a Nomura on you guys like he does with Kingdom Hearts!)

Q: While both Xander Payne (Archie MegaMan) And Tiff (Kirby Right Back at Ya!) were mentioned by Luigi in the first chapter and the fact that both Goggles (Splatoon Manga),Tupp, Zipp and Rapp (Pokémon Sun and Moon Anime) and Escargoon appeared in this chapter, Will other extended media characters (Eg: Ash Ketchum, Sally Acron and the Digimon anime characters) be appearing in this story? Same with other Fanmade characters like Meggy (SMG4) and Steve (Bowser's Kingdom)?

A: For Escargoon's (And by extension Tupp, Zipp and Rapp) appearance here, It's mostly for a cameo (They be making minor apperances with the Mii Fighter Trio to say the least) while Goggles is representing Inkopolis with Meggy (whom is his cousin in the Deluxe-Verse)

For other Extended Media/Fan characters, They will NOT be making any appearances in this story (Especially the Digimon anime characters so No Tai (So anyone expecting, Matt, Kari and TK in this story, and before you ask, Agumon's a wild Digimon in this series so NO Begging for Tai to be in this story,)

I know what happened with Krosshair's Story and the reviewers begging him to add Shadow to his story so I'm saying this in advance: (WHEN WORDS ARE SAID LIKE THIS, IT MEANS IT'S SERIOUS)

DO NOT SPAM ME JUST TO ADD YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTERS INTO YOUR STORY! THE ONLY NEW CHARACTERS BESIDES THE FIRST SIX DLC CHARACTERS OF SMASH ULITIMATE ARE THE EIGHT DELUXE FIGHTERS OF THIS SERIES! SAME WITH THE CHARACTERS WHOM ARE BEING SHIFTED! (SO NO BEGGING ME TO BRING ZELDA, MEWTWO AND IKE IN EARLIER SINCE I ALREADY HAVE THE NINE FIGHTERS I PLAN TO BE SWITCHING UP FOR THIS STORY (+THE FIRST SIX DLC FIGHTERS), OK?)

With that out of the way, let's get into the story notes for real:

Yup, It's more interactions before the laser show, But I do want to explore certain characters before they get lasered by our favourite giant orb of light.

Nothing much else to say other then the next chapter will be where the show truly starts. So this chapter is focusing on characters interacting with each other before the fight with Galeem.

As for the dialog regarding Sherk and Goku, It's mostly a take that towards the Infamous Smash WiiU/3DS ballot which has them being voted a lot for some reason (Yeah I don't support them in Smash Either, Last thing we need is Super Man becoming Top Tier in Smash, Makes the Video Game guys look like losers in comparison) It's also inspired by AngelZeroEXE's stories where Goku became an antagonist there.

Speaking of others writers…. Red mentioning the Subspace Incident, Yes like in Krosshair's story he's also scared by that incident, (But Master Hand din't steal Charizard away from him like that story and he did came for Lucas's sake,) Expect plenty of interactions between him and Lucas at least.

Oh boy, Pichu's in for a lot of heartbreak during the Next Chapter with Agumon (And before ask, NO, She and Agumon are Not in a relationship, It's more or less Sibling like for them) and Yes, Digimon World 1 is canon in this series. (Mameo's (The Game's protagonist) Partner is a Mamemon as confirmed by Digimon World Next Order)

As for Shulk's Nightmare regarding him and Lucina, Well let's just say it's related to Galeem and Dharkon…

What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, see ya! ;)
