Once Mario, Joker, and the rest of their team took the stone paths downward back to the abandoned village where plenty of Spirits from the other town took refuge. They all quickly floated inside the houses once King Bulbin's army marched in. The group of fighters quickly ran to the Youngest and Middle Fab Fairies, who were already waiting at the gate, and tried to protect them.

"We know you're after us," Mega Man told the Bokoblins. "If you're looking for a fight, you've come to the right people."

"Listen, warriors," King Bulbin objected, both he and his troops lowering their weapons and easing their boars. "We come in peace now. We're turning against Galeem."

"And what makes you sure you're telling the truth?" Faker asked. The Eldest Fab Fairy levitated out of the Bokoblin army, safe and sound.

"Big sis!" the Youngest Fab Fairy squealed, rushing to the indigo-clothed fairy. The Middle Fab Fairy came with the little sister too. The Fab Fairies were reunited at last. When Mario and the team noticed that the Bokoblin army didn't attack, they looked at the Hyrulean monsters cautiously.

"We kept an oath that I will serve the one that has defeated me in a battle, fair and square, King Bulbin answered. "Turns out we now realize that Galeem cheated in the game of war…"

"Life isn't fair for any of us," Falco said. "Now let's get that gate open and benefit our friends during the plan." The fighters all walked towards the large gate, waiting for the three Fab Fairies to get into position.

Glittering sparkles began glowing from the Fab Fairies' fingertips as they got into their dance stances. Music played out of nowhere, and the three Spirits moved gracefully. The upbeat tempo of the music amped the three Fab Fairies into action. The sisters danced in their own movement in harmony: the youngest in a bossy attitude, the middle with a swanlike mood, and the eldest by a graceful manner.

Like ballerinas, the Fab Fairies moved to the beat of their own music. For no apparent reason, the Smashers decided to join with the dancing too. The way they moved matched the Fab Fairies perfectly, and it was probably because the music was catchy. Once the dancing was over, a large blast of confetti escaped from the Fab Fairies behind them in an explosion. The fighters stopped dancing and quickly reacted to the blast. Once the confetti explosion finished, the large gate slowly opened. The curse upon the entrance was lifted by the Fab Fairies, and bathed in a glorious light was the Sky Temple itself.

"This the place?" Snake asked.

"Yeah," Joker answered. The Sky Temple was decorated with decaying quartz pillars, with sheets of snow and ice covering the floor. Vines and flowers clogged the cracks on the path, untouched by the cold.

"Well, what are we waiting for!?" Isabelle asked, impatient. "Let's head inside and neutralize that light fissure! We have no time for dawdling!"

"Oh," Mario answered. "Right." Mega Man was the first to approach the Sky Temple. However, as soon as he took a step on the stone path, an barrage of light arrows flew towards him. The blue bomber didn't have time to react, but Joker quickly jumped in front of Mega Man and summoned Arsene by pulling off his mask.

"Makarakarn!" Joker called out, reflecting the barrage of light arrows. The projectiles targeted all the way back to the Sky Temple's entrance where they came from. There was an army of Light Puppets responsible for firing that rain of arrows. The warriors of purely focused light charged from the Sky Temple, ready to attack the fighters. King Bulbin and his Bokoblin soldiers marched in front of the Smashers, ready to take their lives.

"You're going to die out there!" Marth told the monster king. "Galeem will end your lives!"

"My time for serving those has come to an end," King Bulbin answered, pulling out his battle axe. "What matters is that you complete the mission and save us all." The Bokoblin armies began charging at the Light Puppets, attacking ferociously. A Light Puppet was about to murder the Smashers, but Faker used the Magic Rainbolement to instantly teleport the fighters to the entrance of the Sky Temple, which was unguarded.

"This way!" Faker called out, running into the temple. The three Fab Fairies flew into the Sky Temple's light. Looking back on the Bokoblins that were sacrificing their lives for the Super Smash Brothers to complete their mission, Mario, Donkey Kong, Ice Climbers, Pichu, Falco, Marth, Snake, Lucas, Olimar, Mega Man, PAC-MAN, Duck Hunt, Ryu, Isabelle, and Joker all ran into the Sky Temple behind Faker and the Fab Fairies.

With a flash of light, the Smashers saw the inside of the Sky Temple. There was a circle of pillars decaying into rubble, and a thin blanket of snow decorated the edges. In the center of the area was a glowing-green portal encased in ice, and up in the sky were floating ruins opaque enough to cover the sunlight.

"Well, we're here," Ryu said. "All we have to do is find a way to melt the ice covering the portal…"

"Maybe I can help," Faker answered. Using the Fire Rainbolement, the brown-skinned, dragon-armored warrior attempted on melting the ice. When she found out it had no effect, she used her newly-founded Water Rainbolement to shatter the ice, but she was unsuccessful too.

"Any bright ideas?" Joker asked.

"I'm thinking! I'm thinking!" Faker answered in frustration. "I'm not adjusted to these powers. Wish I still had my memory intact five years ago!" All of the fighters except for Joker were confused as to what she meant.

"Not now!" the Youngest Fab Fairy whined. "These fighters aren't ready yet to know the truth!"

"The truth…?" Marth asked. Joker sharply inhaled through his nose as he knew the jig was up.

"Joker?" Mario asked. "How long have you been in Gallia?" The Phantom Thief exhaled calmly as he turned around.

"I completely forgot to tell you guys…" Joker said. "You say you only have recollections of your past the day Galeem captured you, right?" The fighters nodded as their answer.

"I'm also betting you can't remember what happened before you were rescued," Joker continued. "The events of the light destroying everything: that all happened five years ago. The moment I woke up on this planet, I found four other survivors that made it just like me, and the Piranha Plant was found by our group in the form of nothing more than a special white flower. We were the only people on this planet, and we found wreckage of what appeared to be a gunship as our secret base. Once the Piranha Plant grew weeks later, we became tired of hiding in plain sight and went out into the world, where the flower learned how to become a fighter. We began learning a little more about all of the fallen fighters during our travels. After coming across a gang of Spirits possessing Supporters: Amaterasu, the Great Sage, Tingle, Flynn, E. Gadd, Sticks, Barbara the Bat, Jill, Saki Amamiya, the Excitebikes, Kat & Ana, Mr. Resetti, Ray MK III, Magnus, Infantry and Tanks, Elec Man, Helirin, and Lakitu, we created our band called the Forgotten Resistance.

"With enough teamwork, we rebuilt the wrecked gunship into the Undying Light, and we had been rescuing many Spirits while hiding in the shadows, where Galeem feared to enter. Five years later however, the Seraph of Order knew where the rebelling Spirits were hiding and sought to strike them down… until Kirby arrived. We all knew Kirby can help us in our mission, so us fighters had to depart ways. I only had access to my Personas for that amount of time and just lost them forever yesterday except for Arsene.

"We broke many Spirits out from their vessel prisons, knowing their real bodies will never be seen again until we complete our mission. The Forgotten Resistance has theorized there are mass-reproducing machines creating these servants like factories, and we are apparently right after what we've seen. It only took us five years to fight against these Primaries, finally strike against the light itself, and find Faker. She may be a simple tagalong for now, but I've got a gut feeling that she has something to do with this…"

As soon as the Phantom Thief finished, the Smashers now knew they had been waiting for five years for someone to rescue them before. Kirby was merely a distraction for the Forgotten Resistance, and the fallen warriors had been patient for half a decade, waiting for a glimpse of hope.

"Five… years…" Mario sighed, sitting down on a small boulder.

"It's probably not that bad," Marth answered with a fake laugh in his voice. Faker noticed the secret was out, but that didn't stop her from continuing the mission. The black-haired, brown-skinned warrior began using all of the Rainbolements to try and break the ice. Suddenly, a spinning cross was thrown in her direction, and the Middle Fab Fairy noticed.

"Faker!" the Middle Fab Fairy cried. Faker instantly ducked, and the Middle Fab Fairy fired an arrow at where the cross came from. She hit the target's knee, and all of the fighters noticed. Each one of the Smashers ran towards the intruder, including Faker and the Fab Fairies who were not technically fighters. Clenching his knee and wincing in pain was the Simon Primary himself.

"You people have made a grave mistake in attacking Trevor C. Belmont, one of the greatest vampire hunters that has ever lived!" the Simon Primary snapped. The Master Legendary Spirit known as Trevor C. Belmont was behind the possession of their friend.

"Oh, you looking for a fight?" Joker asked. "Whoever you really are, we accept your challenge!" The Simon Primary began throwing his axes, crosses, and bottles of holy water while swinging his Vampire Killer, watching for the incoming fighters. Joker luckily summoned Arsene to his side and used Makarakarn, which distracted smaller Smashers like Pichu and Isabelle to tackle the captured fighter. While the Simon Primary used his whip to block his reflected projectiles, Pichu climbed onto his face and jolted him while Isabelle jabbed at his feet. The Youngest Fab Fairy fired a magical arrow that caused the Simon Primary to dance in place, only for a reflected holy water bottle to crash at his feet. The flames emitted from the small puddle of holy water burned the captured fighter's feet, and he quickly recovered from his dancing curse.

As Faker began firing projectiles composed of icicles, the Simon Primary was trying to push through. Just then, Snake ran from behind the captured fighter and aimed his RPG downward. With a powerful blast, Snake knocked-out the Simon Primary. A flash of light flashed from the flying Belmont's body, and the wings of the Galeem Lock that had protected him were shattered without the roulette. The wings then disintegrated into the white mist, and the Trevor C. Belmont Spirit was freed. Simon's unconscious body then floated to the ground, slowly landing in the soft, cold snow. The other fighters ran towards the Belmont, who was starting to wake up.

"What… happened?" Simon asked.

"You're saved from Galeem," Marth answered. "Well, after five years of waiting for a hope of rescue…"

"Five years?" Simon asked again, only this time he was surprised. "Damn, I need to keep up with the times."

"There's no need to," Faker responded. "Look." The Smashers noticed the ice covering the portal was beginning to thaw, allowing them full access to what was apparently the way up to the floating island above them. Whatever they did, waking up Simon was somehow the event that had triggered the ice to melt. The portal then flashed brightly, with a green beacon flashing upward.

"Let's go," Joker said, walking into the portal. The green light wrapped around the Phantom Thief, and he dissolved as he was carried up to the floating island. Shortly after, the rest of his companions went through the portal with him.

All of the fighters, including Faker and the Fab Fairy Spirits, had finished teleporting. As soon as the green light that bathed them was gone, the Super Smash Brothers looked around. The floating island they were standing on had snow and vegetation on its stone ground, but there was a coliseum-like structure this time. The walls were icy with no way of melting them, and the only way in – a large, red door that lacked handles – was barred shut.

"Well… we'll go look for a switch to open the door," Faker said, the three Fab Fairies joining her side. "All of you fighters wait here…" The amnesiac warrior and the Spirits went to the east while all of the Smashers in the group rested near the door. Joker sat on the edge of the floating island portion of the Sky Temple. Mario walked towards the Phantom Thief.

"I'm sorry I… didn't tell you before," Joker told the red plumber. "I didn't think you would mind being locked away for five years. It's just… I wish I could've found you guys sooner…" Mario patted Joker's back, understanding how he feels.

"By the way," Joker continued, "we've come this far, so now would be the good time to tell you my name. Joker is simply my codename, but my real identity is Ren Amamiya."

"Interesting," Mario replied. "Snake's real name is actually David, so yours isn't a big secret to us. It was nice telling me, Ren." The two fighters then relaxed a bit at the edge, looking down upon the entirety of the island. The light fissure covered the whole sky, so it was hard to make out what is on the other side of the island outside of distance mountains. Snake then approached the warriors, signaling them.

"Faker and the pixies found the switch," Snake told the fighters. "The gate's open." Joker and Mario then got up from their positions and ran towards the mercenary and the rest of their friends, standing in front of the now-unlocked door. Faker and the three Fab Fairies joined the group, ready to walk in. Once the fighters got past the door, they saw that inside the coliseum were decaying and toppled quartz pillars with a staircase of stone leading to the top. At the top, in the middle of a stone hoop was a diamond the size of Isabelle's head. The gem was glowing the same golden color as the light fissure, clearly proving this was the source of the geysers erupting from the chasm.

While the Smashers walked toward the stone hoop, Joker approached from another area at the stairs since they circled around the diamond. The Phantom Thief then stepped on something that made a squishy noise. The sound was faint and wasn't recognized by the other fighters, but Ren was the only one that heard it. Joker then looked down at his feet to see a small puddle just the size of his leather boot. What appeared was a puddle of bubblegum-colored slime that appeared to be quite random and out of the ordinary.

"Ew," Joker whispered in disgust.

"Joker!" Snake called out. Ren looked back at his friends who were already at the diamond.

"Coming, David!" Joker answered, sliding his boot on the stone floor. He managed to scrape off the peculiar substance off his tracks and continue on with his mission. However, when the Phantom Thief and his friends weren't looking, the slime puddle looked at them with a single eye. The eye itself had a slit pupil and was light green in color, but it moved as though it was watching. The slime with the eye, as though it had a mind of its own, slithered away, not bothering taking advantage over the fighters.

"We got this," Popo said to the gang, ready to grab the diamond from its position with Nana. Using their icy powers, the Ice Climbers approached the gemstone, it's temperature pulsing hotter. Apparently even with their elemental skills, the diamond was hot enough to melt through the ice and heat up their fur gloves. Nana and Popo quickly backed away, trying to cool down their gloves by waving them up and down.

"…Maybe fire might work since I can use fire," Mario answered. However, even the red plumber wasn't immune to the diamond's heat as he tried bursting fire through his white gloves and attempted to grab the jewel. Mario backed away too, wincing in pain as he tried to calm his burned hands down.

"This is taking way too long," Simon sighed. The Belmont then pulled out his Vampire Killer, ready to break the diamond. With one swing, Simon whipped his Vampire Killer. However, some sort of strange force emitted from the diamond seemed to hold the spiked end of the chain whip in place.

"What the-?" Simon asked, pulling to get his weapon away from the gemstone. The whole team saw what the Belmont was trying to do and grabbed onto his waist, pulling hard on the whip. Once it snapped loose, the fighters all saw who appeared to be the Pit Primary, who turned invisible and managed to successfully catch the spiked end of the Vampire Killer. An image of the Spirit appeared on Pit's chest, revealing it to be the Chariot Master, owner of the Lightning Chariot.

"Did you really think you could break this kind of resource?" the Pit Primary asked in a raspy, ghostly voice. "One that protects Lord Galeem from your ravaging hands?"

"Beat it, old man," Joker answered, pulling out his knife. "We're here to do out mission and save everyone on this planet, including you. So get out the way and let us destroy that diamond."

"Never!" the Pit Primary snapped, blue flames illuminating from the imprisoned angel. Broken battle armor appeared on the captured fighter's body, and his twin blades formed a baton of lightning when he spinned their handles together with his hand.

"Well, it was worth a shot," Joker finished, snapping his fingers. From the Phantom Thief's hands was the Eiha spell. The flames were about to hit the Pit Primary, but he quickly pulled out his Guardian Orbiters and reflected the flame, sending it back at the Phantom Thief.

"Get… him…" Joker winced, trying to handle the slight pain from his countered spell. The fighters started running towards the captured fighter, crowding over the Pit Primary. Despite having such cool powers in his blades, the Chariot Master was possessing the body of Pit, meaning that he had all of Pit's strengths and weaknesses, allowing him to get bodied easily. Even then, Galeem's powers were growing weaker, meaning that most of the Primaries and their Supporters couldn't even summon their challengers to other stages.

Once Donkey Kong was ready to unleash his fully-charged wind-up punch, the Pit Primary quickly grabbed ahold of the gorilla's fist. With a powerful kick, the captured fighter knocked Donkey Kong into Mario, unaware that he was leaving open room for Joker to run in and slash his neck. Joker took advantage of that and quickly sliced the Pit Primary's neck, winning the battle. A white light flashed on Pit's body, and the Galeem Lock was shattered without the roulette. The white mist and the Chariot Master Spirit were free at last, and they quickly flew out into the land down below. All that remained was Pit's unconscious body.

The diamond the fighters were trying to destroy in the first place had shattered into millions of fragments, with its energy flying free. A large booming soundwave echoed throughout the island. Whatever the fighters did probably was important to crossing over the light fissure. An incoming call was picked up by Mario's device, which was with him this whole time.

"This is the Undying Light," Barbara spoke through the transmitter. "Did you do your part in the mission?"

"We got to the Sky Temple!" Mario answered. "The mission was a success!"

"Wait right here before we pick you up," Barbara finished. "By the time you get on the ship, you'll find it… a little bit changed." The second Barbara the Bat finished, a large ship instantly warped in front of the floating island. The whole group was surprised to find the ship itself had gotten an improved upgrade. The Undying Light's hull was shinier and tougher, with the ship itself double its original size. All of the clunky engines were tossed out, and it seemed to have three cannons attached to it. Looks like all of that extra work in Toadette's mines seemed to have improved on the ship's budget. A steel bridge extended from the top, landing on the stone ground.

"Hurry up already!" Sticks the Jungle Badger's Spirit called out from the deck. "These feet aren't gonna walk themselves!" Faker and the Fab Fairies entered the bridge, with Mario, Marth, Joker carrying Pit's body, Olimar, PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Lucas, Isabelle, Duck Hunt, Pichu, Mega Man, Snake, Ryu, Ice Climbers, Falco, and Simon following behind them. As soon as the ship drew in its bridge, the Undying Light flew away by a few meters.

"Pit's going to be okay," Magnus told the group while he and Saki Amamiya were helping carry Pit's body. "All he needs is a little rest." Once the two Spirits helped transfer the unconscious angel to his room, Mario looked out into the distant land, watching the light geysers start to decay.

"It's up-a to you to finish the job, Kirby," Mario said.


Far off in the island, Kirby, Piranha Plant, Villager, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Mii Swordfighter, Link, Fox, Dr. Mario, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Inkling, Jigglypuff, Yoshi, Lucario, Pikachu, Peach, and Bowser all sat near the bridge to cross the light fissure, which was still blocked off at the time.

"…Was I really transformed into a hideous, mutated version of myself?" Bowser asked Peach. "Now that I think about it, I instantly don't want to remember it…"

"The light!" Kirby spoke out, still struggling with talking. Pointing with his stubby arm, the pink demon alerted his friends about the geysers they were standing in front of this whole time. The flaming pillars had drastically shrinked, and the light fissure had stopped glowing as brightly. There now were no flames blocking the bridge.

"It's finally gone," Gilbert sighed, being the first to run towards the bridge. The moment the ex-Ultimate Reborn had set foot, it was cooling down. Each of the fighters then followed after the Mii Swordfighter, ready to take on the challenges of the other side.


Watching in the darkness of the Galeem Void, the black background was starting to become lighter in contrast of color, with clouds floating around faintly. The Seraph of Order himself growled with a dragon's breath, watching as the light fissure had calmed down by that shattered diamond. He then turned to King Bulbin and his Bokoblin men, who were standing weaponless and surrounded by the Light Puppets and Kirby Supporters. Erupting like a volcano, Galeem stuck out his hand and cast out a large flame that packed as much destruction as a pound of dynamite that had only reached to the feet of the Bokoblins.

"You had promised me you would stop the Super Smash Brothers from reaching me!" Galeem snarled. "For five years, I had feared of the day that these weaklings would retaliate!"

"That was our original command," King Bokoblin answered, "but they helped us open our eyes. Each king of the Bokoblins of Hyrule was destined to serve those that have defeated them in a fair battle, and you did NOT play fair." Galeem left his glowing fists to curl up into balls, and the celestial being quickly snapped his fingers. Calling to his side was another Master Hand, though it lacked the golden aura the original Master Hand of Arcadia sported. Once the Lord of Light transformed into a black hole, the Master Hand's blue Swarms were drawn into the vortex. Out from the hole was the concentrated light beams, which curved in and obliterated all of King Bulbin's army in one shot. After the Master Hand transformed back to normal, King Bulbin and the Bokoblins were nothing more than Normal Novice Spirits.

The Master Hand then used the light of Galeem to call out its brother from its own shadow: the Crazy Hand. With one rip through space, the Hands had transported the Hyrulean monsters to the Dark Dimension. Once the rip was gone, the Light Puppets had departed back into the World of Light. Tabuu, who was beginning to ache from the Chains of Light binding him after so long, slowly approached the Seraph of Order.

"Tell me, Tabuu: are you afraid to die…?" Galeem asked calmfully.

"That depends on what you're dying for…" Tabuu answered.

"These fighters look like they would never give up," Galeem continued. "They would still keep on fighting for their reasons and their reasons alone. Balder! Flowey!" The Lord of Light had called out Balder and Flowey, who had just appeared at the foot of his crystal throne, walking on dusty ground.

"Kirby and his friends are going to finish their mission," Galeem ordered them. "Do not screw this up or you will suffer like King Bulbin and the Werewolf before you." Without question, Balder and Flowey bowed, departed with their tasks.

"Two down, two to go," Galeem sighed. "These Smashers will change my servants' ways apparently. Sooner or later, they will all fall into a trap: one that none of us can overcome even with our combined strength…"

"Even more powerful than the one you had locked up in the Dark Dimension…?" Tabuu asked. The Seraph of Order gazed away for a while, not bothering to answer the Construct God's question.


Deep inside the Dark Dimension, King Bulbin and his Bokoblins were starting to wake up, and each one of them saw nothing but darkness for as far as the eye can see. The glowing-blue Spirits saw the green aura of the Werewolf, who was suspending in a floating animation as well. From the lycanthrope's eyes were pure terror of the face of someone who hasn't slept in days.

"More visitors from the outside world," a slightly deepened, calm voice spoke out. The pale-green eye from before looked over the team of castaways trapped with him, a low boom echoing throughout the pitch blackness.

"I see more guests from Gallia had dropped into my party," the eye spoke.

"Whatever you did to the Werewolf, you're not going to do to us!" King Bulbin snarled, clenching his fists. However, the eye simply laughed in a raspy tone.

"I beg to differ," the eye continued. "What I will do to you all will be much… much worse than what Galeem had ever did. These fighters will venture into the darkness eventually, unaware of the shadows that are ready to strike them. This darkness will spread to every corner of the multiverse, and the bargain with the Mother will be over…"


Back at the floating island portion of the Sky Temple, the bubblegum-colored slime that Joker had stepped on before oozed out from a cracked rock, looking around the clear coast with its slit eye. Once everything had seemed peaceful, the slime slithered to a figure of black smoke hiding behind a decaying quartz pillar. A crystalized hand slowly extended out from the black mist, allowing the slime to crawl on to the palm. Green pupils with slits glowed through the black mist, its blood-red sclera gleaming faintly. All that followed from the figure was nothing but silence.
