Far off into the southeast, Group B went down through solid ground mixed with tons of years and cogs normally found in clockwork. The fighters in that team were Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Peach, Dr. Mario, Falco, Diddy Kong, and the Mii Swordfighter. As stated earlier, their goal is to take care of the boss hiding down in this part of the world, hoping to defeat him and bring them another step closer to Dharkon. A lot boom echoed throughout the sky, coming from the southwest in the Sacred Land.

"Did you guys hear that!?" Peach asked, covering her ears from the sonic blast.

"Yep," Gilbert responded. "Looks like our pals down southwest took care of their business and are waiting for the rest of us to finish."

"Then let's get going and rescue some more of our pals," Falco replied, twirling his blaster as he went off to the gigantic broken clock floating in the abyss. Right at the tip of the minute hand was a blue portal leading to a subarea. The small team of fighters kept their eyes on that portal as they dashed towards the portal, but they suddenly felt a rumbling noise before Dr. Mario in front of the team set his foot on the rusty brass. Soon, they began feeling the ground crack underneath them, and a large demon skull sprung out, with a Primary jumping off the heavy object. She appeared to be Lucina, possessed by Caeda. The possessed warrior from a distance future jumped up and charged straight for the fighters, but the ex-Swordfighter Ultimate Reborn blocked her attack through a counter.

The Lucina Primary then jumped back and slashed open the locked shell, which began to growl a stunning roar. The Smashers looked in horror as they saw what was believed to be the toughest enemy in the Underworld Army: the Clubberskull. This fleshy heart-looking monster began beating its body rapidly as it looked down upon the Smashers with a furious rage. It used its two limbs like clubs, swinging them at the Lucina Primary and knocking her away.

"Oh boy," Falco groaned. "This again?"

"Well, that thing doesn't look so tough, so…?" Peach responded before she quickly dodged the Clubberskull's heavy swings. The princess and the other fighters got ready to attack while the Mii Swordfighter rushed towards the Lucina Primary, who was just getting up. Each of the Smashers began dodging the swinging club arms of the Clubberskull, while Gilbert clanged swords ferociously with the Parallel Falchion of the captured fighter.

"Pikachu! Jigglypuff! Use whatever specials you have on that beast!" Dr. Mario commanded. The two Pokémon that went with the team began using their specials, with Pikachu using Skull Bash and Jigglypuff using Rest. For the latter, Falco zipped while glowing blue, grabbing Jigglypuff from the Clubberskull's swinging arms. Its single eye stared at the fighters, slamming its fists into the ground and pulling itself closer to them. Diddy Kong hopped onto the Clubberskull, tugging on its tissue skin and trying to claw his way into the tough center, and Peach assisted him with her turnips.

Gilbert slashed hard at the Lucina Primary, scratching her face. If his sword were any closer, she would have died from that, but she continued to keep attacking the Mii Swordfighter for that. Then, the Clubberskull crushed the Lucina Primary when it spotted Gilbert and dashed towards him. Dr. Mario used his Dr. Cyclone move, hitting the Clubberskull from behind multiple times in a row. Upon this powerful attack, the most powerful beast from the Underworld Army succumbed and fell, with the Mii Swordfighter hopping out of the way before he was crushed by the falling body.

The Clubberskull's heavy weight crumbled the thin ground it was lying on, falling deep into the abyss before it could wake up. Soon, there was a faint glow of red, and the glowing body of Lucina ascended to the front of the group. The descendent of Marth fell unconsciously on the brass of the colossal clock, and both the Caeda Spirit and the shattered Dharkon Lock floated away in the black sky. Lucina, having her mind asleep for ten years, groaned as she opened her blue eyes for the first time.

"What the-? Where am I?" Lucina asked, looking at the fighters that rescued her. "You… you saved me!"

"Well, looks like you're back," Falco spoke. "It's been a full ten years since you've been captured alongside many others, but we're taking the advantage of the constant logic of this world. We're hoping you can help us what's beyond the portal." Lucina looked back upon the colossal clock, hearing the mighty ticks echo throughout the abyss without the ringing of an hour. The portal remained blue with an eerie glow of things to come, reminding the warrior princess about what lay beyond.

"Of course I do," Lucina responded, watching as the Dark Puppets and the Subspace Army slid around on the broken cogs and could. "Follow me." Lucina and the other fighters traveled around the slow-spinning arms of the clock, with Falco and Diddy Kong shooting the enemies that spotted them on their peaceful walk to the portal. After the fighters made it through safely, they were greeted by an entrance into a large castle.

"Welcome… to Dracula's Castle," Lucina spoke. The Smashers walked across the crumbling cobblestone path which fell into the abyss far behind them. From what they could tell, this was the exact same castle each of the Belmonts throughout history had taken down Dracula for over a thousand years. It was kind of in their family to be honest. Thankfully, due to the altered rules that changed constantly, it pretty much wasn't a bother.

"So we just go in and kill the guy who runs the place?" Falco asked. "Because we can totally do that. Alright then." The anthropomorphic falcon pilot pushed opened the humongous gates of the castle, letting the deep creaking of the rusted hinges echo through the empty halls as a sign of the monsters living within know who is intruding on this dark night. The fighters entered through the gate, surprised by how huge it was.

"Wow," Peach gasped with awe. "Not even Bowser has a castle like that whenever he kidnaps me and shows me around his place." Her hips then brushed against an unloaded cannon, startling her. She looked at the strange weapon just sitting there, collecting dust. The Smashers noticed this piece of detail too and stared at the weapon on wheels.

"Looks-a like this cannon is already in a locked position," Dr. Mario noted. "All we need is a cannonball to fit it into that thing. But why?"

"That," Lucina answered, pointing the small group towards a ghost. The ghost itself was of a purple mist with red eyes and sharp teeth, blocking the stairway up. "These bastards send you back to the entrance of the room when you touch them, and they can only be cleared by these cannons. Guess we better look around the place and see what we find."

The fighters looked around the empty room, and Pikachu suddenly noticed an open tomb near the stone wall, the faint glow of the moonlight shining down upon a rotting corpse wrapped up in bandages and holding a cannonball. The Pokémon quickly grabbed ahold of the huge bullet, surprised it was way lighter than it looked. The mummified corpse was disturbed from its sleep, and it raised itself up and got out of its tomb. Pikachu looked back at the monster, charging up a forward smash before the mummy could grab him. The Pokémon dropped the cannonball in the process and knocked back the mummy into dust and wrappings, with the cannonball rolling into Falco's feet. The anthropomorphic pilot picked up the ball, and the fighters saw him with the thing.

"I suppose I can put this thing in then," Falco reminded, carefully sliding the ball into the cannon. The feathers in his hands brushed against the gunpowder coating the inside of the cannon, surprised it didn't expire.

"Everybody stand back," Lucina warned. The team got behind Falco as he grabbed ahold of the string attached to the cannon, firing the cannon at the ghost. The cannonball managed to hit the ghost, and the monster combusted into a swarm of blood-thirsty bats, their eyes glowing red with lust. The Smashers attacked these small winged rodents, with Falco burning most of them down with his up special.

Once the swarm of bats was gone, the Smashers climbed up the stairs, scaling to the broken rooftops. Ghosts and demons emerged on the roof, making the fighters engage in a short fight with these creatures. Diddy Kong did flips in the air and whacked the monsters with his monkey feet while Jigglypuff used Rollout on the grounded enemies. Dr. Mario and Lucina placed their backs against each other while they jabbed and hit the incoming monsters. Once the area seemed to be clear, the Smashers decided to continue up the stairs before they were interrupted by slow, sarcastic clapping.

"Congratulations on making it this far," a voice spoke from the Daisy Primary behind them. She glided like Peach to the broken roof they were standing on, the Spirit possessing the Princess of Sarasaland revealed to be Elma, who was first spotted in New Los Angeles. The Daisy Primary slowly approached the small team of fighters, with Peach stepping up in front of the captured fighter.

"Daisy's pretty much a copy of me in terms of moveset," Peach said. "We clearly have equal power, but I'm better at using said power. Watch me." Peach thrusted her hips at the Daisy Primary, and the captured fighter used the same move as well. Their Bomber moves clashed with each other, creating a rippling effect between the two and knocking them back. Peach and the Daisy Primary then started using their forward aerials, turnips, down aerials, and many more of their toolkit while the Smashers in the small group simply sat back and watched. With enough luck, Peach pulled out a Bob-omb and threw it at the captured fighter before she followed up with strong and fast attacks.

Peach was constantly glide-canceling and spamming forward aerials, making the Daisy Primary unable to pull out a blue Toad and counter the attack. The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom managed to use her Bomber move once more and knock out the Daisy Primary, pretty much winning the match. The captured fighter, trying to get up from the rubble of the castle, collapsed from her wounds. Daisy's Dharkon Lock shattered into the red mist, with the Elma Spirit floating away with it into the hazy moonlit sky.

"Oh… oh my…" Daisy groaned, slowly getting up. The Princess of Sarasaland looked around the rooftop of Dracula's castle, surprised by the state of the place. She noticed how dark it was, crumbling to the brim. For a vampire that preferred his castle to be tidy, it sure was a major mess. But that was supposedly expected when you have a bunch of monsters as your servants/guards.

"Where… Where am I?" Daisy asked, brushing her orange-yellow skirt.

"You're in Draxia, just like everyone else is at this point," Dr. Mario answered. "You could very well probably be one of the many souls trapped in Dracula's castle.

"So you're trying to get to Dracula Vlad Tepes, huh?" Daisy asked. "Well, I know a place that'll surely get you closer to him. Follow me." Group B followed the brunette princess up the stairs, stopping in place as she suddenly came across a large platform that was blocking a hole on top of a tower. The hole in the tower had a ladder that led straight down. Jigglypuff looked around the place until she spotted a level just at where the tower met the roof below the stairs. She gently floated to the level like a balloon, pulling it.

This triggered something in the platform blocking the way down, because it was suddenly standing up vertically, allowing the passage through. The fighters readied their weapons, preparing to attack whoever or whatever was in the hole, for they knew that there could be an ambush. Once Jigglypuff floated her way over there, she was suddenly hit by a large fart cloud. Daisy quickly grabbed ahold of Jigglypuff as the Smashers looked behind to see the Wario Primary fanning his behind, who was possessed by Thanatos. As gargoyles and winged demons climbed on top of the roof onto the tower, the Wario Primary snatched Jigglypuff from Daisy's hands. A vortex spawned behind the Wario Primary, taking himself and the lightweight Pokémon to the Final Destination version of WarioWare Inc., where Jigglypuff was tossed in front of his speeding motorbike.

Jigglypuff quickly floated in the air, keeping an eye out for the Wario Primary as he turned around and rode on the back wheel. The Pokémon used her back air and continued a string of back airs on the captured fighter, twirling in place as she used her downward aerial. She tossed the Wario Primary his bike before she used Rest off-stage, knocking the captured fighter straight into the upper blast zone. Jigglypuff was then frozen in place as the Thanatos Spirit emerged out of Wario's body, surrounding him with a stronger, faster barrier as he still thought it was worthy of defense. Jigglypuff simply fired the Spirit Sniper within her stubby hands, shattering the Dharkon Lock and freeing both Wario and the Thanatos Spirit.

Jigglypuff returned to the top of the tower with Wario's unconscious body with her, shocked when she found the whole roof covered with demon bodies, Shadow Bugs that retreated as soon as they saw her, and pale rubble with claws and wings. The fighters in Group B were successful in the fight, and they hoped to continue the mission with this much luck. Wario, after ten years of being asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

"What's-a going on here?" Wario asked, quickly sitting up with no recollection of Dharkon's invasion.

"Same as you, tough guy," Daisy answered, shrugging her shoulders.

"We're here to hunt down Dracula, the owner of this castle," Lucina answered.

"We've… been around for a while longer and are trying to defeat all the bosses of the three sub-worlds located here, and we're wondering if you can help us," Gilbert responded. Wario scratched his biker cap, thinking about his answer.

"Just here to get back home and swim in my loot," Wario answered. "If this is-a what you think we should do in order to return to our homeworlds, then so be it!"

"Great-a!" Dr. Mario cheered, giving a thumbs up. "Let's-a go!" The doctor clone slid down the ladder inside the tower, followed by Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Peach, Daisy, Falco, Lucina, Wario, Diddy Kong, and the ex-Swordfighter Ultimate Reborn. When the Smashers touched ground, they noticed they were in the cold, damp basement. The wood holding and supporting the beams was soggy and filed with maggots, and there were more ghosts, cannons, and levers to change the angles of the platforms just like the one that blocked the top of the tower. Bats and flying heads hung upside-down on the stone ceiling, diving in for their prey.

While the fighters were attacking the flying monsters, Falco Lombardi noticed that the way to the other side was blocked off by a ghost, and the only cannon facing its direction was at a different angle. So, he grabbed a cannonball, flipped several switches, and made sure that the stringing cannons and platforms made this work. Once the Star Fox pilot pulled the string of the first cannon, a cannonball fired and bounced off the multiple platforms while ramming into the bats and flying heads as well as those until the basement was cleared.

Falco, after seeing that things were calmed down, made his way to the exit, his blaster held in his hands. The crew also followed behind him. Before Falco took another step, Diddy Kong saw violet, menacing eyes glowing in the darkness of the way out. Once the captured fighter's mouth began glowing with flames, the monkey grabbed ahold of Falco and fired his Peanut Popgun at the monster hiding in the shadows. The captured fighter dashed out, latching onto Diddy Kong and grinding him against the stone walls. Pikachu used Quick Attack and pulled the enemy off the monkey with his electrical attacks. As the fighters got up and surrounded the captured fighter, they found out he was the Ridley Primary, possessed by the Dark Emperor. Subspace creatures and zombies arose from the ground, slowly approaching the fighters.

"You take care of these guys!" the Mii Swordfighter told the group as he pulled out his sword. "I'll take care of Ridley by myself!" The ex-Ultimate Reborn struck his sword against the Ridley Primary's tough hide, creating sparks that stung the captured fighter's eyes. Gilbert began twirling around with his sword in the air, slashing hard and clean until the Ridley Primary was seen with cuts on his scales. As the group was busy with swatting the monsters on the ground, the Mii Swordfighter stacked combos after combos, dealing massive damage to the Ridley Primary. The captured fighter began slashing with his tail, claws, and even wings, hoping to grab and touch the Mii Fighter.

Gilbert quickly counter-attacked, knocking the Ridley Primary back and using a forward smash. With one slash, the Mii Swordfighter cut through the head of the Ridley Primary, winning the battle and defeating the captured fighter. The monsters retreated back underground, and the fighters looked back to see the unconscious body of Ridley shatter free from the Dharkon Lock. The red mist and the Dark Emperor Spirit floated away, never to reunite with the last Space Pirate. Ridley, slowly waking up, held onto his head as he looked at the group of fighters.

"Uh… did I miss something?" Ridley asked.

"A lot," Wario answered. "We've been out for ten years and our pals had to deal with our losses. Suppose you can join us in this fight."

"And that I can," Ridley responded with a smug grin on his scaly face. "If we make it to the other side up these stairs, we might just find a way to Dracula's throne room. Follow us." Daisy and Wario joined Ridley's side as they climbed up the wooden stairs to the storage closets, and the rest of the group followed after them.

Little did they know that there was another challenger waiting for them upstairs. That challenger was also one of the many fighters to survive the Movement of the Light and has not shown his or her face… until now.
