The Heroes entered Vine Valley which was a deep forest filled with trees, treetops, vines, and there were a lot of Zingers and Neckys roaming the place.

"My, this is just a deep forest." Meta Knight remarked, looking around the forest.

"I bet Tarzan would love to be here swinging on these vines." Odd jokes, looking at the vines.

"You sure know how to make funny jokes, Odd." Diddy Kong snickered.

"This might be fun. Let's do this!" Red Link said.

The Heroes traveled through the forest and encountered what appears to be a small Necky.

"Why would you look at that? It's a Mini Necky! Hahahaha! What can something so small like that bird do!?" Mighty Ray laughed at the Mini Necky.

The Mini Necky glared at Mighty Ray for that insult and it spat out an acorn at his face.

"Ouch!" Mighty Ray yelped as the acorn hit his face. "Hey, take this!" Mighty Ray punched the Necky away.

They then jumped from barrel to barrel along the way.

"Boy, this is pretty fun!" Sonic snickered while he was blasting through barrels.

"Woohoo! This is almost like a roller coaster ride!" Odd laughed.

"Speak for yourself! I'm not having a good time!" Tiff cried out as she really thought that she would fall.

"I don't know about you guys, but this is pretty awesome!" Donkey Kong cheered.

They then reached the treetops.

"Poyo poyo." Kirby seemed to like the treetops.

"This treetop looks like a town." Amy remarked while looking around the town.

"Donkey Kong Island sure is something." Sonic commented.

"I really like this island so much." Sonia squealed, looking at the view.

"Why thanks. You're welcome to stay at this island anytime." Donkey Kong said with a smile on his face.

They then left treetop town and headed towards the other part of the forest where there were a lot of vines.

"Gulp. Great, now how are we able to get across?" Ulrich grumbled, not liking the idea of swinging on the vines.

"Simple. We're gonna have to swing on these vines to get across." Toad answered as he was the first one to get on the vines.

"This is gonna be fun! Wheeeeee!" Odd squealed as he swung from vine to vine.

"Poyo poyo poyo!" Blue Kirby squealed as he was enjoying himself swinging on the vines.

"Poyo Poyo Poyo!" Yellow Kirby also squealed happily as he easily jumped from vine to vine.

"I think I'm gonna be sick!" Jeremy cried as his face turned green.

"Well you're gonna have to hold it in when we get off of these vines." Shadow Link said.

"Woohoo! This is awesome! Look at me, I'm Tarzan! Ooooo Aaaaaahhhhhh Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Manic exclaimed happily as he made a tarzan cry sound while swinging on the vines. Sonia and Sonic snickered at this.

"Yeeeeee Haaaaaw! Jumpy like playing on vine!" Jumpy Ghostface squealed happily.

They all managed to pass the Zingers who were trying to attack them.

They entered the jungle where they were attacked by orangutan animals called Manky Kongs who tossed endless barrels at them.

"Are those kongs?" Ribbon asked.

"They are Manky Kongs." Diddy Kong said.

"Then why are they attacking us for?" Aelita asked while dodging a barrel being thrown at her.

"Long story, Manky Kongs used to be part of the Kong Family, but they were exiled for betraying us for some reason. But they migrated here." Donkey Kong explained, still not happy about the Manky Kongs betraying them.

"The reason we betrayed you Kongs is because you're all weak and the Kremling Krew are much better." One of the Manky Kongs said before tossing a barrel at Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong managed to catch the barrel overhead and said; "Weak, really? That's your only reason? What a sad excuse." Donkey Kong deadpanned before tossing the barrel back at the Manky Kong, defeating him before knocking out all of the Manky Kongs.

They then met an ostrich named Expresso who smiled at Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

"Donkey and Diddy Kong. Am I glad to see you." Expresso said.

"Expresso it's good to see you, our ostrich friend." Diddy Kong greeted.

Expresso then looked at the heroes.

"Who are your new friends?" the ostrich asked.

"They're Mario, Kirby and my other friends from the universe." Donkey Kong said.

"A friend of Donkey Kong is a friend of mine." Expresso said.

"Wow. Donkey Kong, you sure have a lot of animal friends." Yoshi said.

The heroes proceeded to move through the jungle and encountered bee and bug creatures.

"We've got some heroes." the bee growled.

"Who are you guys?" Sonia asked.

"I'm Beedrill, leader of the bug mercenaries and these are my soldiers; Heracross, Ariados, Yanmega, Pineco, and Galvantula who are the executives and the grunts are Spinaraks, Pinsirs, Scythers Joltiks and Weedles. We were hired to exterminate you heroes." Beedrill said while smirking.

"When we destroy you heroes. We will earn our reward from our clients." Yanmega grinned.

"And what makes you guys think that we would let you guys kill us?" Sword Knight asked.

"And who hired you guys to kill us?" Mario asked.

"Lord ENeMeE, Doctor Eggman, Bowser, King Dedede, High Roller and King K Rool hired us to do you heroes in." Heracross said while smirking.

"Of course it has to be Nightmare who would hire mercenaries to kill us." Donkey Kong grumbled.

"I guess he's still not happy about losing to us back in the Pokemon World and destroying the Bittercold." Toad said.

"It's a pity that a boy escaped us, but you heroes won't." Ariados grinned.

"Please you guys are just pesky bugs that need to be squashed! Get out of our way!" Mighty Ray shouted.

"For what? You punks are on a mission to save a bunch of bananas from the Kremling Krew? What a waste! I mean do you kongs even eat those bananas or something?" Yanmega taunted.

"That's not your business, dragonfly boy! Buzz off like you pesky bugs do!" Diddy Kong was getting impatient.

"You creeps don't scare us at all!" Amy growled, getting out her Piko Piko Hammer.

"If that's how you heroes wanna play, we will take you all down." Beedrill threatened.

"Is that so? Well, get ready for a serious butt kicking!" Sonic said, getting into a fighting stance.

"Poyo Poyo Poyo!" Kirby growled while glaring at the bug mercenaries.

"So this is Kirby that Nightmare was talking about? Kirby is also a major threat to the Universal Villains and must be destroyed!" Scyther yelled.

(Heroes vs Beedrill and Scyther and Heracross and Yanmega and Galvantula and Pineco and Ariados and Spinarak and Weedle and Joltik)

(Cue-Texas Faggot- Back to mad)

Mario pulled out a Fire Flower, turning into Fire Mario before charging at Beedrill who flew out of the way and used Twinneedle on Fire Mario who managed to dodge the assault easily and kicked Beedrill backwards.

"I must say, you really are impressive, Mario. You're a lot tougher than I anticipated. No wonder the clients have trouble taking you down." Beedrill said.

"What can I say? It's my goal to protect my friends, my kingdom, the universe and its citizens whenever they need help. I will never let any evil being conquer anything." Fire Mario said, as he dusted himself off.

Beedrill just scoffed at Mario's statement.

"Well that's too bad. Because your adventuring days are coming to an end. Poison Jab!" Beedrill shouted as he jabbed his poisonous needle at Fire Mario's stomach, sending him to the ground.

"Oof!" Mario groaned in pain as he held his stomach where he was jabbed. Luckily it didn't poison him.

Heracross uses a horn attack on Donkey Kong who catches the horn easily and spins Heracross around several times before tossing the rhino beetle into a wall. Donkey Kong charges at Heracross with his fists in the air before throwing a punch at her, only for the beetle to quickly move on of the way in time and use Dynamic Punch on Donkey Kong causing the ape to get dizzy and lose focus.

"Ha ha ha! Now I have you in the ropes, Donkey Kong! That's what you get for messing with us bug mercenaries!" Heracross mocked as she began to walk towards Donkey Kong.

"Noooo! Donkey Kong!" Diddy Kong gasped as he ran to his uncle's aid.

But a web caught Diddy Kong, trapping him inside as Ariados slowly crawled towards the poor trapped monkey menacingly.

"Itsy Bitsy Spider caught a chimp on his web. The itsy bitsy spider BITS OFF THE MONKEY'S HEAD!" Ariados sang evilly as he prepared to eat Diddy Kong who was helplessly stuck on the web.

"Noooo! Let go of me!" Diddy cried as he struggled to break free from the web.

"It's no ussssse, Diddy Kong. You cannot escape this web. It's feeding time." Ariados smirked as he was about to eat Diddy Kong.

Sonic, who managed to kick a Weedle away, saw the scene and gasped.

"Don't worry, Diddy. I'm coming!" Sonic said as he was about to run to Diddy Kong's aid.

Just then a kid's voice sounded.

"PK Fire!" the said young voice said as a lightning bolt-like projectile shot out at Ariados's web and exploded into flames, burning the threads and freeing Diddy Kong.

Everyone looked and saw a young boy with a red cap on his head, yellow and blue t-shirt, blue shorts and red shoes was standing in front of them with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Kirby, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Donkey Kong." the kid greeted.

Kirby, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Donkey Kong gasped as they recognized who the boy was.

"Ness!? Is that really you!?" Mario didn't believe that.

"Of course. The one and only." Ness said, still smiling.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Ness. What are you doing here?" Yoshi asked.

"I've decided to take a day off and visit this tropical island. But I've heard that the Kremling Krew stole Donkey Kong's bananas so I thought I would follow and help Donkey Kong stop those kremlings. Unfortunately, I was attacked by these bug guys, but I escaped them." Ness explained.

"Hey, you're that kid who escaped us earlier!" Scyther said.

"This time you won't escape. Soldiers attack!" Pineco ordered as the bug pokemon ran at the Heroes.

"There's no time for reunions. We need to defeat these mercenaries first!" Mr. No Hands said as he kicked a Joltik away and shot some projectiles at a few. Weedles, knocking them away.

Diddy Kong jumped on Heracross's back, keeping her from attacking Donkey Kong.

"Get off me! You filthy primate!" Heracross shouted as she struggled to get Diddy Kong off of her.

"Not until you leave Donkey Kong and my friends alone and get off this island!" Diddy Kong shouted as he started pulling on Heracross's horn.

Scyther flew over to Odd and Ulrich with his sharpened pincers.

"You two kids are about to be cut down to size with my Fury Cutter!" Scyther said as he lunged at them slashing at Odd and Ulrich.

Luckily Ulrich managed to block with his katanas.

"That's what you think, prey mantis boy. But I'm an expert with swords." Ulrich smirked as he kicked Scyther backwards.

"Laser Arrow!" Odd shouted, firing multiple arrows from his hands at Scyther, pelting him painfully.

"Good job, champ." Ulrich chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Odd.

"Aww. Shucks." Odd smiled as he put his hand on Ulrich's shoulder.

Yanmega flew after Tails, who was flying on top of one of the trees with his two tails.

"You can fly but you can't hide, fox boy." Yanmega teased.

Tails threw a rock at Yanmega hitting him on his head.

"You seem to be having a rocky day, dragonfly boy." Tails taunted.

"Grrr! You're gonna pay for that kid! Silver Wind!" Yanmega shouted as he flapped his wings rapidly creating a powerful wind.

"Argh! This Silver Wind is so horribly strong! I can't stand my ground!" Tails grunted as he struggled to stand his ground while the wind kept pushing him back.

Yanmega then hit Tails with his wings with such speed before Tails could react, sending the young fox to the trees.

"Oh no, Tails!" Sonic gasped.

"Like my speed, fox boy? It's my special ability speed boost. Each time, it'll increase my speed and make me faster. How bout I put you out of your misery forever with my bug bite." Yanmega smirked as he got his sharp teeth out ready to kill Tails who braced for impact.

Luckily, Sonic kicked Yanmega away from Tails just in time as he stood in front of him and did a tsk tsk tsk taunt.

"I'd get away from Tails if I were you, insect breath! If you really think your speed boost would make you faster than me, you're sadly mistaken. So, why don't you battle me instead." Sonic mocked.

"If you insist, Sonic The Hedgehog. Feast on my Quick Attack" Yanmega grinned as he flew at Sonic with such speed.

Unfortunately for him, Sonic was still faster than him as he dodged his attack.

"You're too slow!" Sonic taunted as he stuck his tongue out.

Yanmega growled as he chased after the hedgehog around the forest, trying to catch up to him. Yanmega doesn't understand why Sonic was still faster than him despite his speed boost making him faster. To make matters worse, Sonic was still making a mockery out of him.

"Sonic Wind!" Sonic said as he spin dash in circles, creating a tornado which pulled Yanmega inside of it.

"Argh! Blasted, hedgehog!" Yanmega screamed as he wasn't able to get out of the wind.

Sonic then did another spin dash at Yanmega, sending him to the wall and knocking him out.

"Tch! Using speed boost to make himself faster than me. What a joke." Sonic scoffed as he helped Tails up. "Are you alright, buddy?"

"Of course, now that you're here. Thanks, Sonic." Tails said with a smile on his face.

"No problem, old buddy." Sonic said with a thumbs up.

Knuckles and Pinsir were staring each other down with glares.

"Bring it on, beetle boy." Knuckles growled.

"Show me what you've got, red mutt." Pinsir said.

A tick mark appeared on Knuckles's forehead after being called a red mutt.

"You're gonna pay for that insult!" Knuckles yelled as he threw a punch at Pinsir who managed to avoid the attack.

Pinsir bent over with his pincers in the front for a vice grip attack, but the echidna managed to avoid getting pinched by the razor sharp pincers. Pinsir decided to vice grip Knuckles back to back as Knuckles kept on avoiding the assault trying not to get chopped to pieces by the beetle's attack. Knuckles smirked as managed to catch Pinsir's pincers much to his surprise as he was now helpless in the echidna's grip.

"Look at that, I've got you by the horns. Now let's go for a spin." Knuckles smirked as he proceeded to spin Pinsir around in circles several times before tossing him into a tree.

Pinsir crashed head first into the tree making him dizzy. This gave Knuckles an opportunity to do an uppercut at Pinsir's mouth, sending him flying as Knuckles jumped into the air above the beetle and smashed him into the ground.

Pinsir groaned in pain as he slowly got up from the ground, covered in wounds as he glared at Knuckles.

"Argh. Cursed echidna. How can a pipsqueak like him be causing me such difficulty?" Pinsir thought.

"Is that all you got?" Knuckles mocked.

"Of course not! I'm not a mercenary for nothing! I'm not gonna let some punk like you walk all over me!" Pinsir shouted as he was getting annoyed with Knuckles.

"If so then why don't you do your worst, or you can just take a hike, because you're not even a challenge!" Knuckles taunted.

"That's it! Now you leave me no choice! But to unleash my dangerous move, Guillotine! Let's see if you can dodge this!" Pinsir roared as his pinchers grew larger as he jumped into the air and lunged at Knuckles.

Beedrill smirked at this as he knew that guillotine was Pinsir's most powerful attack and could knock an opponent out with a single hit.

Toad knew how guillotine works for a Pokemon using it.

"KNUCKLES, GET OUT OF THERE QUICK! GUILLOTINE IS A MOVE THAT COULD TAKE OUT ANYONE WITH A SINGLE BLOW!" Toad warned Knuckles.

"What!?" Knuckles gasped as he jumped out of the way in time as Pinsir's attack crashed into the ground, creating a large crater into the ground.

"Grrr! Pinsir missed." Pineco growled in anger.

"But I won't! Batter up!" Ness smirked as he held his bat.

"Uh-oh!" Pineco gulped as he was whacked in the face by Ness's baseball bat which sent him flying into a rocky wall, knocking him out.

"Okay." Ness smiled in victory.

"Are you okay, Knuckles?" Sonia asked in concern.

"To tell you the truth, I'am especially after almost getting sliced in half by that hideous insect." Knuckles said.

Lin Chung fired a few of his projectiles at the Weedles that came at him, knocking them away. One Weedle used a string shot at Lin Chung, but the warrior managed to duck under the silk and kick the bug away.

Mystique Sonia smacked every Spinarak and Joltik away with her tongue then held her tongue.

"Eww! Gross! These bugs taste so slimy and disgusting." Mystique Sonia gagged.

Two Scythers flew after Jumpy Ghostface who hopped from tree to tree away from the two prey mantis. One Scyther caught up to Jumpy and flew in front of him while the other Scyther landed behind him smirking.

"We've got you now, bunny boy." one of the Scythers grinned.

"It's the end of the line." Scyther #2 said.

With that the Scythers charged at Jumpy Ghostface, but the rabbit king used his jump rope force field to block the Scythers and tossed his carrot grenades into them, knocking them out.

"Bad bug friends." Jumpy Ghostface said as he smiled in victory.

Kirby inhaled the Joltiks, and transformed into Spark Kirby.

"Poyo poyo poyo!" Spark Kirby shouted as he sent out lots of electricity at Ariados and his Spinarak army, electrocuting them and knocking them out.

"I'm not done with you yet, echidna!" Pinsir growled as he was exhausted from his beating and using guillotine.

"I think you are!" Knuckles smirked as he punched Pinsir in the face, knocking him out.

"Grr! We're getting pummeled! Desperate times calls for desperate measures! Electroweb!" Galvantula shouted as he jumped up and sent an electrifying web at Tiff and Tuff.

"Aaaaaaah!" the two kids yelled as they ducked for cover.

Thankfully, Meta Knight sliced the web in half just in time with his Galaxia sword as he charged forward and slashed at Galvantula.

"Argh! That hurts! Snack on my Thunderbolt!" Galvantula sent a bolt of at Meta Knight who jumped out of the way.

"Don't worry, Meta Knight. We'll take out that overgrown spider." Purple Link said as he and the Links walked over to Galvantula.

"You kids shouldn't be playing with sharp objects like those swords. Well, it doesn't really matter. You five are about to die! Hyper Beam!" Galvantula shouted as he shot out a beam of energy at the five Links.

They managed to get out of the beam's way in time. Since Galvantula used Hyper Beam, he couldn't move for a while and had to recharge.

"Why would you look at that? You cannot move right now." Green Link smirked ay the helpless spider.

"Now's our chance! Take Galvantula down!" Shadow Link yelled.

"Uh-oh. Something tells me that this won't end well." Galvantula gulped as he was slashed everywhere by the Links using their swords as he was knocked out from the brutal attacks.

Three Spinarak crawled over to Sonia and fired poison stings at her.

"Woah!" Sonia yelped, ducking under the poisonous needle. "Hey, that's not polite to treat a lady like that." Sonia scolded the green spiders as she spin dash into them knocking them out.

"That's Yanmega, Pineco, Pinsir and Galvantula and those little bugs down. We have Heracross and Beedrill to deal with." Yoshi said as he smacked a Spinarak away with his tail.

Heracross finally managed to throw Diddy Kong off of her onto Jeremy and Aelita, knocking all three of them down.

"Finally. Now then we're going to destroy you heroes for our clients." Heracross smirked as she raised her horn for a Megahorn.

"Why don't you take this! Energy Field!" Aelita shouted as she tossed her Energy Fields at Heracross.

Unfortunately, for Aelita, Heracross easily dodged the energy fields and charged at her with her horn.

"AELITA, NOOOOOOO!" Jeremy shouted in terror for Aelita.

Aelita braced for impact from the deadly horn.

Luckily, Luigi jumped up from behind and slammed his hammer onto Heracross's back, knocking her into a tree head first before using his Luigi Missile attack on her, knocking her out.

"Oh. Thank you, Luigi. That was a close one." Aelita sighed in relief as she hugged Luigi.

"No problem, Aelita. That's what friends are for." Luigi smiled as he hugged Aelita.

"Grr! You heroes are a lot stronger than I thought. I'll give you that. You may have defeated my soldiers, but I'm still gonna take you all down!" Beedrill declared.

"Look, Buzz boy. We've defeated your soldiers and the executives so what makes you think that you can take us all on by yourself?" Manic asked.

"Simple! Sludge Bomb!" Beedrill shouted, firing multiple sludge bombs at the Heroes.

"Whoa! Look out!" Toad yelled, avoiding the poisonous bombs along with everyone else.

"You Heroes are only delaying your defeat." Beedrill said, still firing poisonous bombs at the heroes.

"You're gonna be in for a surprise. Pk Flash!" Ness yelled as he summoned a ball of energy at Beedrill which exploded into electricity, electrocuting the bee and knocking him out.

"We did it! We took care of those pesky insects." Tuff cheered.

Beedrill and his soldiers got up from the ground while looking all beat up.

"Argh! How can mercenaries like us lose to a bunch of worms like you!?" Beedrill growled as he struggled to fly.

"Hello. We are heroes and we never give up without a fight, Beedrill." Mario said.

"Plus, as long as we have each other and work together we never fail." Sonic added.

"Grr. This isn't over. We will be back!" Beedrill said as he and the bugs ran away.

"Well, that solves that bug problem." Yumi sighed in relief.

"They almost had me right there." Donkey Kong grunted, still feeling pain from Heracross.

"By the way, how do you know Kirby, Ness?" Tiff asked.

"Oh, that's easy. I met Kirby, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Donkey Kong back at the Super Smash Brothers tournament, two months ago." Ness said, still smiling.

"How did you do those magic abilities?" Ulrich asked.

"Long time ago, a meteor landed in my hometown and I went to it to investigate and gain these powers thanks to an alien." Ness explained.

"Wow. That sounds cool." Green Link smiled.

"Were those bugs after you too, Ness?" Tails asked.

"To tell you the truth they were as soon as I went into this forest, but luckily I escaped those mercenaries. By the way, I've heard that you guys are going from universe to universe to protect the citizens and stop some monster named ENeMeE and the villains from taking over the universe." Ness said.

"Of course. ENeMeE's plan is to wipe out every hero in the universe in order to conquer the whole universe and we're trying to stop him." Lin Chung explained to Ness.

"Well, you've got yourself a new member because I've decided to join your group as well." Ness said.

"Of course. You're more than welcome to join our side, Ness." Ribbon said.

"Thanks, friends." Ness smiled as he hugged his new friends.

"We should get going by now." Diddy Kong said as he took the lead.


I'm sorry I took forever to unload the chapter. Work sure can keep me sidetrack from making these stories. I've decided to add Ness to the story, because he is also one of my favorite characters and I also decided to add some mercenaries in my stories to make some more action. Please review, if you like it. But if you don't then don't review or read.
