The Hero looked around the room with multiple beds, taking a good look at the mural Kirby drew in stunning detail. From what he could gather, he saw the faces of the side he is now fighting with and plenty more unrecognizable faces. He was surprised at how much crayon Kirby used in this beautiful portrait. Feeling as though the mural was lacking his face, Ireburn grabbed the dragons, scissors, tape, and paper. Once he finished his drawing and taped it onto the wall, it was hard to tell the difference if Kirby or someone else that put the Luminary in the picture. After a brief minute of admin himself in the wall art, Joker walked into the room.

"Pretty impressive," Joker noted, recognizing that the Hero placed himself in the picture. "You even put yourself next to me."

"Thanks," Eleven added, rubbing his temple. "Y'know, I dreamed of becoming an artist before I found out I was a descendant of Erdrick. I was basically self-taught."

"Pretty neat," Joker replied. "I'm hoping the rest of our friends can do this… paint themselves onto the poster. That way they can show they are part of a bigger family despite not being blood-related. Whether good or bad, they can see where they belong here."

"I guess…" The Phantom Thief and the Hero admired the poster, standing around for a minute before the Piranha Plant opened the door. When the carnivorous flower walked in, it was time for the two warriors to head up to the deck.

"Ready to go back home after five years?" Joker asked, holding his hand out.

"Yes I am," the Hero answered, shaking the Phantom Thief's hand. The two then joined the Piranha Plant outside of the ship. The three fighters then met up with the rest of their friends, looking at the path in space with the faux planets and everything. Faker walked up to Kirby, who was staring out into the Galeem Void.

"You're still thinking about the rest of your friends?" Faker asked. Kirby looked up at the amnesiac warrior, nodding in agreement. From what he had experienced, the brown-skinned woman sounded exactly like Ultima in his visions. Maybe the stone he swallowed must be the key to her memory loss. As the fighters that had never been on the Undying Light before were passed around their own watch-like devices by the Spirits of the crew, the pink puffball coughed up Faker's stone. It still shone violet when it was reflecting off the sunlight, and the golden markings of the Smash Ball did not dust a bit.

"Poyo," Kirby added, giving the stone back to Faker. She picked up the stone, taking a good look at the gift she gave.

"If I wear this stone after it spent so much time with you, do you think I'll get my memories back?" Faker asked. Kirby shook his head, not knowing how it even worked. It just gave him keys to a past he had no idea happened. When Faker reattached the stone to her necklace, her eyes flashed a bright white and the gem gleamed with a rainbow spectrum. Kirby watched as all the fighters on the ship started experiencing the glowing-white eyes and went through possibly all the visions. Once the gem stopped glowing, the eyes of the crew stopped glowing too.

"What the hell just happened!?" Joker asked, rubbing his head.

"It was like we were in a whole new world…" Fox corresponded. The most startled was Faker most of all, feeling as though she was around the Dragon Age before. Even though she could not pinpoint when, she felt like she was part of that world in some way.

"I'm… starting to remember," Faker added. "My memory's starting to come back to me… I think. I still don't know who I am, but at least these visions could help you and your friends… Thank you for at least clearing my mind…" Mario was the first one to walk out onto the wooden plank, noticing that the path to walk on was only a few feet high. The fighters that had been reawakened as well as those that survived joined the red plumber's side.

"Are you ready to destroy the Lord of Light and bring us all back home?" Mario asked his friends.

"I'm ready," Samus answered.

"Let's do this," Falco added.

"Be careful," the Barbara Spirit told them, seconds after the fighters jumped off. Once each of the Smashers landed on the path, they looked back at the new and improved Undying Light, ready to take on the final challenge. Once they approached the Galeem Void, they saved goodbye to Faker and all the Spirits on the ship before they all jumped into the void.

After they stepped on the ground, the Smashers looked around and saw the deep golden sky stained with pure white clouds that looked like they were softer than anything to the touch. High in the sky, there was the army of Master Hands guiding all of the Primaries and Supporters the fighters did it even have a chance to rescue, each one too busy noticing the group of warriors staring up in worry.

"Where do you think they're going?" Peach asked.

"Galeem," Mario answered. "If we follow our friends, we'll have a higher chance of saving them." The red plumber then grabbed the princess's hand and ran with her towards the Seraph of Order. The reawakened fighters and the survivors raced towards the Lord of Light, keeping their eyes on the sky full of Spirits.

As time went on, the Smashers all made their way to Galeem's crystal throne. It was twenty feet across, spanning a massive height of two hundred meters. Sitting on the very top was Galeem himself surrounded by the remaining Primaries. The Supporters swirled around him and fed him his energy, making him grow stronger in the upcoming battle. Levitating at the base of the throne was Tabuu, still confined in the Chains of Light.

"Tabuu…?" Marth asked, trying to approach the God of Construction carefully.

"Wait… you know this guy?" Joker asked.

"He was a major threat fifteen years ago when the Subspace Army attacked," Link replied. "Now we see he's really just a slave."

"I had a good reason why I chose to serve Galeem ages before the Hands of Arcadia found you," Tabuu answered, his arms folded across his chest. "I wanted to protect… her…"

"Her?" the Luminary asked.

"Despite appearances, I am simply the raw power and wisdom. Her body and soul is my only way back to the physical world, and I had spent ages trying to find her after making her vanish from Galeem… I need… Ragnarokk…"

"Ragnarokk…" Sheik told the group. "Back in Arcadia, Cloud Strife told us about a Goddess of Oblivion made out of the Master Core and Tabuu…"

"You got the parts involving the Goddess of Oblivion and me right," Tabuu responded. "What you know is the half-truth. I want Ragnarokk back. Only then can I end the war between the light and darkness with your help…" Just as Tabuu was about to explain more, Galeem harshly tugged on his Chains of Light. The God of Construction groaned from the harsh pain, and the Seraph of Order floated from his throne.

"Thank you for finding my escaped pets, Tabuu!" Galeem called out, pushing the Construct God away from the crystal throne. The Seraph of Order then used his powers to crumble the throne into nothing but dust as he teleported himself to the ground level of the fighters. The Primaries that surrounded him floated to the ground, their feet touching the surface.

"So you made it all the way over here," the Lord of Light spoke out. "And here I thought I was going to die of boredom…"

"You let the rest of our friends-a go!" Mario exclaimed, his fists burning with fire. "Free the other captured fighters!" All the Smashers got into their battle positions, ready to bring down the Lord of Light once and for all.

"Very well," Galeem growled. "If you want your friends back so much…" The ground rumbled underneath the Forgotten Resistance fighters, shaking them to the point that they almost tripped. The ground then started crumbing, with the black obsidian ground of the Final Destination forming underneath the rocky dirt. The fighters looked around this huge ancient sci-fi battlefield, shielding their eyes as Galeem grew brighter than the sun.

Once the bright aura surrounding the Lord of Light vanished, all they saw was a humanoid being simply glowing white. His six wings began spinning around, surrounding him in a sphere. A bright flash of light gleamed again, and the three pairs of colossal wings fused to Galeem's true form. What they saw was the figure of a thin, quadrupedal dragon with his scales glowing white, the horns on his head straightened out. His claws shined bright like diamonds, with his whip-like tail waving back and forth. The six wings were fused to his back by a golden aura surrounding his body, and his eyes flashed red once he opened them, reverting to their standard color: bright yellow with a black outline with orange irises.

"…you'll have to go through me!" Galeem finished, spreading his wings to their original position.

"Then prepare for defeat, Galeem!" Fox McCloud growled. "Our combined strength will take you on!"

Galeem began teleporting through the air, dodging the attacks from each fighter, like Mario's forward aerial and Donkey Kong's punches. The seraphic dragon then flew up into the air and summoned three cross-like orbs. They simply didn't do anything. They just sat in place. Because of this, Smashers like Bowser and King Dedede paid no attention as they attacked Galeem, knowing the only place they can hurt him is his main body. However, the orbs started glowing and exploded in cross shapes, covering over half of the stage.

"Even with all your powers, you will still burn under the sun," Galeem resounded, teleporting across the stage. His wings emerged from his back, transforming into drill-like objects that flew across the Final Destination, trying to pierce the group of warriors. Bowser, being the heaviest, grabbed two of the wings and threw them back at the Seraph of Order. After being drilled by his own tendons, Galeem ascended into the air and glared down as those trying to reach him so they can attack. Simon, Mega Man, and Pit began firing their projectiles, all of them hitting the Lord of Light.

"Insolent foolish mortals," Galeem growled, a ball of blue lightning forming in his mouth. As soon as he breathed it out, it floated to the center of the stage before splitting into six smaller versions of itself. They began homing in on the fighters closest to them, mainly Fox and Falco. While the two were firing lasers at Galeem, trying to keep up with his teleporting, they quickly reflected the lightning orbs with their devices back at the Lord of Light. This managed to stun Galeem to the point that his six wings fell from his body and the quadrupedal dragon fell onto the stage. All the fighters then began jabbing and punching until above half of his health was drained.

Galeem then floated above the stage, his three pairs of wings fusing back to him. He let out a terrifying roar as his eyes flashed red to let the fighters know that he was low on health. His wings then formed a circle around him, and he vanished for a brief period of time to let three of his Light Puppets fight. Those that appeared in the battle for now were Samus, Peach, and Lucas. Piranha Plant, Joker, and the Hero surrounded the three puppets and attacked them with their slashing abilities, not even noticing that they were blinking golden. Kirby, seeing what was about to happen, quickly dashed right into the three Light Puppets, knocking them off the stage for his three friends to see the clones self-destruct.

Galeem emerged from the golden blast, his red eyes flashing so that they created a net of sorts that took up the entire stage. This net was made out of lasers that pinpointed a predictable yet powerful Barr of stronger lasers. Each of the fighters took care to dodge those lasers on the huge battlefield of Final Destination. As soon as the lasers vanished, Galeem teleported across the stage while unleashing more cross bombs and blue orbs of light. With enough luck, the fighters knew Galeem's movement and struck him down until he was stunned again. The dragon landed like a delicate crystal ball, meaning that he sounded like glass hitting stone. Once the fighters got him down to the lowest possible health until he floated back into the air again, Kirby jumped into the air with a flaming hammer and finished with a naughty strike against Galeem.

The Seraph of Order began roaring as he went into a spasmodic seizure, his eyes reverting back to their yellow color. As the dragon fell from the sky, the Final Destination stage crumbled underneath the fighters, but they were saved by the magic of the decaying Galeem Void. The golden sky spread out to all the corners of the world, and the Spirits that were rescued looked out from the deck of the Undying Light, cheering over the victory of the Super Smash Brothers. Tabuu's Chains of Light vanished, rendering the God of Subspace free.

When the fighters landed on soft ground, they began celebrating the defeat of their greatest enemy, glad that they can go back to their homeworlds with everyone. Kirby, among the friends celebrating, noticed the seraphic dragon right in front of them. The pink puffball pulled out his hammer again, still mad and unforgiving of what Galeem did to them. Mario stopped Kirby, and he walked up to the Lord of Light. All of the Master Hands, Supporters, and Primaries levitated in the air, watching as Galeem slowly tried to get up.

"I… lost…? How could I possibly lose?" Galeem asked himself. "I am… the Lord of Light and Seraph of Order…"

"It was because your mind was corrupted," Sheik answered. "I can see the truth in everyone and realize you are no different. Even with all the power in the multiverse, you cannot control it."

"Now give back our friends and return us home. We won," Ireburn told the Lord of Light.

"Give it up, Galeem," Mario responded. "It's over." However, Galeem simply laughed under his breath, spreading apart his six colossal wings.

"Maybe for you, but not for me," Galeem growled, ascending into the air whilst surrounded by the Master Hands and his army of corrupted fighters. The Arcadian Master Hand floated to his side, ready to receive orders from the Lord of Light.

"Banish them all to the Dark Dimension," Galeem commanded. "Make sure I never have to see their faces around here again!" The fighters looked up in fear as the Master Hand summoned the Crazy Hand from his shadows, ready to drag them away from Gallia. However, something… odd happened.

Instead of teaming up with his fraternal, the Master Hand flew back to Galeem. This even surprised the Lord of Light. A violet aura formed around the Crazy Hand summoned by the Arcadian Hand of Creation, and he simply floated in midair doing nothing. The Hand of Destruction then raised his jittery fingers, with all the residents of Gallia looking into the golden sky. All that followed was chuckling from the mysterious eye that reigned in the Dark Dimension.

"How ironic you can use the darkness to control all light from countless universes," the eye's voice echoed. The Arcadian Crazy Hand summoned some strange magic to cuff Tabuu's hands and shackle his feet, but with the Chains of Darkness. From those powers coming from the Hand of Destruction, Galeem knew this could only be the work of… someone he knew.

The fighters looked to their left to see a crack in the golden sky. Pieces of the sky began falling as the crack grew wider, revealing a sky of darkness. The Shadow Bugs gathered up in a massive storm, swirling around the hole. Beyond that crack was a sky of black, with its clouds gleaming a deep dark red. Soon, an army of Crazy Hands emerged from the crack to meet up with their Arcadian version, and they all turned against Galeem and his Master Hand army.

"Our long-awaited reunion and still you spout such nonsense," the eye's voice continued. "A tall, dark, and brooding guest has arrived. I had been patient for you to fall…" Grimy, black tentacles slithered out of the crack, with its thorny, magenta tips pushing against the edges. The tendrils shattered more pieces of the sky by their brute force, widening the crack until the entire sky crumbled into the black sky of the Dark Dimension.

That voice, Galeem thought, the dragon showing signs of terror of this familiar enemy.

"Hello again… brother…" the eye spoke, revealing himself in the center of where all the magenta-tipped tentacles emerged with the deep, booming noise.

"Dharkon!" Galeem snarled, golden flames fuming from his nostrils. "I thought we settled this once and for all ages ago!" The eye simply chuckled, his tentacles swirling around him.

"I still have unfinished business to take care of," Dharkon explained. "And when light falls, darkness rises…"

"I'll show you!" Galeem roared, telepathically commanding all the Master Hands to attack the approaching Crazy Hands. The Crazy Hands began crushing some of the first few Master Hands until they turned into a golden powder. As Galeem sent out his remaining Primaries and Supporters, the Crazy Hands grabbed ahold of them and brought them to Dharkon.

"Not Junior!" Bowser called out.

"Lady Palutena! Pittoo!" Pit cried.

"Cloud!" Link yelled.

"Sonic!" Mario gasped. Dharkon's blue-and-yellow eye then flashed violet, order the Crazy Hands to let the Primaries alone. The Galeem Locks on the remaining captured fighters shattered into the white mist, with their colors shifting into a dense red. They then reformed into Dharkon's own version of the Lock, transforming into his disgusting black tendrils and wrapping around the captured fighters. When they opened their eyes, each one of their pupils glowed violet with a red aura surrounding their bodies this time. Galeem became frightened that his own army is taken under his brother's rule all of a sudden.

"Chain them up," Dharkon spoke, a black hand emerging from the eye's slit pupil. He snapped his fingers, and Chains of Darkness appeared in the hands of the corrupted Primaries. They dashed across the sky, binding the remaining Master Hands with these chains. Galeem tried firing golden flames at the captured fighters, but the Sonic Primary managed to dash around and wrap the Chains of Darkness around the Lord of Light's legs. The rest of the captured fighters then threw the remaining chains around his muzzle and wings, keeping him pinned in the air as his magic was drained.

"Now this world shall become one with the Dark Dimension – one with Draxia!" Dharkon called out, spreading his tentacles wider from himself. The whole world suddenly became engulfed in darkness, with the freed Spirits crying in panic.

"Remain calm, people!" Flynn spoke out, trying to keep the situation under control. "Just a little error in the Smashers' mission…"

"You call that an error?" E. Gadd asked, pointing at Dharkon. Faker looked up into the sky to see the terrifying abomination, clasping over her necklace.

"Kirby…" Faker whispered, worried about the puffball's safety.

As the fighters watched the darkness take over everything, the Mii Gunner started feeling rather woozy.

"What's… happening…?" Sherry asked. She then dropped to the ground, fainting from the strange energy. The Inkling then felt the same, falling unconscious.

"I think this is the work of the darkness…!" Eleven responded before he too fell. Front and back, all of the fighters that were either rescued to begin with or survived fell to the ground. Mario was the last one to see Dharkon crumble the beautiful world of Draxia to his image, with images depicting the demons of Tartarus rising from the fiery cracks. When Mario fell asleep under the powerful magic, he could not tell the difference between the darkened sky and his own blackout.
