BGM: Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
All was normal around the Smash Mansion… birds flying by, people obliterating each other…
"YOU WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Nora yelled.
And one Valkyrie who decided to yell in the lounging area.
"What do you mean you went to a different universe without us!" Nora exclaimed in a huff.
"Nora, calm down, I'm sure there's a good explanation for it… right?" Ren asked.
"It's not our fault!" Ruby defended. "We were sucked up into a portal along with some other guys and we fought this crystal thing together."
"Pretty much… though we did fight each other in a series of fights though." Weiss said. "Called it the… oh, what was it again, the Blazblue Cross Tag Battle tournament?"
"But hey, some of them were pretty cool." Yang chuckled. "Like those guys with those Persona things! We even went to their universe once it was all said and done, and now I have Chie, Yukiko and Rise's phone number!" She grinned. "I do have Chie on speed dial though."
"What's so special about this Chie girl?" Jaune asked.
"She specializes in MMA." Yang grinned.
Jaune sweatdropped. "I had to ask…"
Pyrrha laughed. "She's definitely attracted to those who specialize in that kind of thing, like Tifa for example."
"Dang straight!" Yang grinned. "Speaking of which… I'll be right back." She said and walked off. "Hey Tifa! You want to go a few rounds!"
"So, did Ruby make any friends over there?" Ren asked.
"Well, she was interested in Ragna's sword." Blake mused.
Earlier…
"Oh my goodness, that is so cool! I wanna touch it! Can I touch it? I promise I'll be gentle with it!" Ruby exclaimed, desperately wanting to check out Ragna's sword blade, but then he pushed her away.
"Back off!"
Back in the present…
"What? It was cool looking!"
"So, what happened when we were gone?" Weiss asked.
"Oh, a variety of things." Nora said. "What would you like to hear first?"
Weiss sweatdropped. "Uh… the first one…?"
"Well, Kamui went to her home world to check on her siblings and noticed something called the Outrealms was amiss… so she called up her other friends to help her look and discovered a new area called Fodlan. Lucina and Chrom decided it was a good idea to bring them here so now we have the Black Eagles, Blue Lions and the Golden Deer among us, along with some people living in Garreg Mach, whatever that's called." Nora replied. "Oh, and if you see a lady with light green hair walking around here, her name is Byleth… and if you see her male counterpart walking around, his name's Bereto."
"So a lot more people from Fire Emblem are around?" Blake asked. "Neat."
"I, for one, think there are too many people from the Fire Emblem world, but that's just me." Weiss said.
"Oh great, she's one of those people…" Jaune sighed. "You and Grif have something in common."
"Unlike him, I'd still welcome them with open arms. He'd probably just complain."
"Now for the next order of business, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf have changed. Due to this Ultimate tournament going on and Master Hand is still waiting for this Rosalina character to show up, he took some liberties. Link is now Breath of the Wild, Zelda is Link Between Worlds, and Ganondorf is from Ocarina of Time." Nora informed.
"Eh?" Ruby asked.
"Apparently, there's this completely convoluted timeline that no one likes talking about."
"It's not that convoluted." Ren said. "The three of us got it, Nora got a headache."
"Ugh! Remind me to show you the blasted thing! Oh yeah, and we have three Links. One is from Wind Waker and the other is from Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask… no one really knows." Nora shrugged. "But sadly, we lost the Twilight Princess gang so now we don't have Sheik because THIS Zelda can't turn into Sheik!"
"That is not entirely true." A voice said as they saw Sheik approaching them before suddenly transforming into Twilight Princess Zelda. "I am still here, though I'm only allowed to be Sheik when I am called up to fight. However, I can replace the other Zelda should she be unavailable." She explained.
"Well, that's good to know! So now we have two Zeldas!" Ruby grinned.
"Mhm… and now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the training room." She said and transformed back into Sheik and then walked off.
"Anything else?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, when you guys up and disappeared, more Newcomers showed up. Who was the last Newcomer you saw before you disappeared?" Jaune asked.
"Isabelle." Ruby said.
"Well, the final two are Ken Masters, who happens to be a friend of Ryu, and Incineroar." Ren explained. "Master Hand did say while those two were the last newcomers, he mentioned the doors are always open, so anyone could come and be a Smasher. He was inspired when we, CFVY and JINX were added to the roster, same with Shovel Knight and the B Roster." Ren explained.
"As for anything else, well, Red brought his friend, Leaf, to the fight, but he's on a Pokemon Journey right now… mostly because Master Hand asked him to bring back some new Pokemon that haven't been in Smash before, though Scizor being the exception. Last we heard from him, he said he was going to try to see if he could bring some over from this new region called the Galar Region." Pyrrha said. "Oh, and Master Hand assigned the four of us to locate new additions to the Assist Trophy roster. He even gave us a checklist because he already wrote down the people he had chosen."
"Here's the list." Ren gave them the list as they looked over.
"Okay, so Shovel Knight is crossed out…" Blake mused. "Who's Yuri Kozukata?"
"Some girl who snaps photos of ghosts. I don't get it either." Nora said. "We found her in some graveyard and we asked her to join Smash and she happily agreed, saying that it's a nice change of pace." She explained. "We don't need to worry about the Squid Sisters since the Inklings invited them over, and then the Klaptraps were brought over by K. Rool."
"…Who's Sukapon?" Ruby asked.
"I have no idea, but we're looking for him… or… her… I don't know its gender." Jaune rubbed the back of his head. "We have a heck of a list."
"Well, that's fun." Ruby smiled. "Good luck with that!" She waved and then walked off with Blake and Weiss to do their own thing.
Meanwhile…
"Brother. No." Master Hand grumbled. "We are not doing that."
"Oh come on, where's your sense of adventure!"
"I don't think adding in a common enemy in the roster is a good idea!" Master Hand said. "No one would like it!"
"Oh, that's what you think!" Crazy Hand chuckled. "Why, we could add in a Goomba or a Shy Guy!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Okay so… a Koopa Troopa?"
"No!"
"Aha! I got it… a Piranha Plant!"
"Piranha Plant? Now I've heard everything!" Master Hand floated away in annoyance.
"Oh, just you wait! A Piranha Plant will be an excellent fighter here! …Now how do I get one without accidentally taking off its head…?"
With Yang and Tifa…
"Hah… hah…" Yang panted, her fists still squared up.
"Hah… you've definitely improved the last time we sparred." Tifa said.
"Yeah… you learn a few things when you're in a different universe…" Yang chuckled and then put her hands together. "HADOKEN!" She yelled… but nothing came out. "Ugh… come on! Just once I want it to work!" She complained, and then looked up to see Tifa already doing a flip kick to knock her up in the air and then she jumped in the air and axe kicked her down to defeat her.
"Heh… you'll get it." Tifa said, picking her up.
"Ugh… I guess." Yang said. "I got the Shoryuken down and that Tatsumaki thing that Ryu taught me… if I can just get the hang of the Hadoken down…"
Tifa patted her on the shoulder. "I'm sure you'll get it, you probably just need to concentrate a little more."
"Maybe…" Yang nodded.

Unaware of the duo, K. Rool was glaring at them from afar, specifically Yang. "Grrr… that bimbo…" He snarled, remembering how Yang humiliated him during their first meeting. Seeing her here as a part of the Smash family burned him up. Sure, he didn't like RWB for beating up his Kremlings with the Kongs, but Yang especially made him fume. He still remembered their reunion when they returned from Isle Delfino.
"Hey! Blondie! Remember me!" K. Rool yelled when they got back to the mansion.
"Oh… you got into Smash too, eh?" Yang asked.
"Yes! And I want a rematch! I refuse to let you win that match!"
"Well, alright… let's do this!" She smirked cockily.
One predictable outcome later…
"GAME! Yang… WINS!"
"Ha! In your face!" Yang laughed before walking off.
"Urgh…"
K. Rool clenched his fists. He refused to lose to her any longer… but he wondered how to do it. He folded his arms grumbling to himself, and started pacing around back and forth… to the point where it annoyed Ganondorf who was reading a book and walked off somewhere else. An idea suddenly struck him… yes… it was perfect! But first… he had to go visit an old acquaintance.
A little bit later…
BGM: Villains of a Sort (Kingdom Hearts)
"K. Rool… to what do I owe this unexpected visit?" The voice sounded… disgusting.
"I need your help."
"Why do you need my help?"
"I helped you take care of that problem long ago, didn't I?"
"Yes, but those flea-ridden apes teamed up with them and knocked us both silly. Hmph!"
"What if I told you we could lock them up when they least expect it?"
"…I'm listening."
K. Rool smirked. "Glad I have your attention. I need you to help me get rid of some teenagers too."
"Teenagers!" The voice sounded amused. "Why K. Rool… you're slipping! First you lose to some flea ridden apes and now you lose to some teenagers!"
K. Rool growled. "It's complicated, you hag!"
"Aww, flattery will get you nowhere, my red eyed reptilian friend." The hag chuckled. "So… where do you propose we do this?"
"Oh, I know exactly where to do it." K. Rool smirked. "I've been meaning to test out my new weapon against the Kongs… heh, and I know just where to test it at. As a matter of fact, Donkey Kong and Diddy are visiting their friends as we speak. We lure the teenagers in there… and BOOM! Problem solved. It can also get rid of your… bear problem."
The hag cackled. "I like the sound of that! You have yourself a deal, my large rotund reptilian fiend!"

Back at the Smash Mansion…
"So, have you ever decided to join Smash, Shantae?" Ruby asked.
"Eh… I'm still thinking about it." Shantae said. "Sure, it sounds fun but I don't know if it strikes my fancy."
"Shovel Knight told me that you're in the B Roster filling in for him." Ruby reminded.
"True, but joining the A team? I don't know if a Half-Genie Hero is qualified…"
Dark Pit walked by. "Give me a break, if a few teenagers can join the Smash Team, I don't see why you can't. Besides, Pit's an idiot and he's in the roster."
"Pit is not an idiot, Pittoo!" Ruby defended. "He never is!"
"Okay, first of all, don't call me that. Second: He literally eats ice cream off the ground."
"It's part of his charm!"
"Ugh... both of you are hopeless." Dark Pit grumbled and walked away.
Shantae chuckled. "He's definitely right though. Me being in the roster, that is. I don't really see Pit as an idiot."
"THANK YOU!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Hey Rubes!" Yang caught her attention as she ran up to her. "You're not going to believe this!"
"What, that Wario admitted that he made that rumor up that you and Blake are dating?"
"He's still not fessing up… but that's not the point! Donkey Kong invited us over to hang out with them at DK Isles for a while!"
"You speak ape?" Shantae asked.
"Well, Funky Kong was with him… so he translated for us." Yang said. "He said we could bring as many friends as we want. Tifa's already on board so come on!"
"What about JNPR?"
"Already looking for Assist Trophies."
"CFVY?"
"Coco's giving Lucina a crash course on fashion. Yatsuhashi and Fox are deep in training, and Velvet is hitting it off with Yuri."
"JINX?"
"They're keeping an eye on Xena… something's going on with her and Mewtwo."
"What about those guys we met at Delfino? MAJC, was it?"
"Last I heard, they're still in Vacuo…" Yang shrugged. "And before you ask about Umber, Lillie and Guzma… Umber is unavailable for some reason, Lillie is building a shop in Toad Town after getting enough money over… something about selling candy in a fighting theater or something…? And Guzma… I think is training some Toads on how to be punks or something, I'm not sure what he's doing. Also, Penny is helping Marth fight Roy right now."
"Dang it, you got everyone." Ruby muttered. "Oh! You forgot-"
"Sun's trying to teach Neptune how to swim."
"Look, it's not that hard!"
"I'm gonna drown! I'm gonna drown!" Neptune panicked.
"You're in a foot of water! You're not going to drown!"
"If Inklings can drown in a foot of water, then so can I! HOW DO SQUIDS DROWN?!"
"Zelda fixed that up! You'll be fine!"
"No way! I'm going to drown!"
"Well, that covers about everyone… but hoooold on a-"
"The Reds and Blues are in a war right now."
BGM: Splattack! (Splatoon)
"AAAAH! WHY DOES INK HURT SO MUCH?!" Grif cried, completely covered in ink. "This is NOTHING like paintball!"
"Dag blasted Inklings! Take this, you miserable dirtbags!" Sarge yelled, throwing an Ink Bomb at the Inklings, but they dove into the ink to avoid it. "Blasted cheaters!"
"Easy… easy… HA!" Church fired with E-Liter to hit an Inkling… but missed. "Oh come on! You were standing still!"
"Look at me! I'm so pretty!" Caboose exclaimed happily, covered in pink ink but he didn't care.
"Yeah! Yeah! Give it to me! Oh, I'm really feeling it!" Sister yelled as an Octoling just stared at her in disbelief. "What? I didn't tell you to stop! Hitting me with ink is hot!"
"…Awkward…" The Octoling sweatdropped and he dove into the ink.
"Hey, come back here! I just want to make love with you! COME BACK!"
"I'm going to avoid her at all costs." An Octoling Girl said, back to back with an Inkling Girl.
"Trust me, it's for your own good." She said and then pulled out an Inkstrike. "STAY FRESH!" She yelled, firing an Inkstrike in the air.
"We got an airstrike, sir!" Simmons yelled.
"Ah crud… scatter!" Sarge yelled. "Leave Grif to be the target!"
"WHAT?! WHY ME?!" Grif yelled, but Sarge tripped him up and then dove out of the way… then saw the Inkstrike coming down. "OH, SON OF A-"
BOOM!
"Hooray! Grif is dead!" Sarge exclaimed happily after the Inkstrike dissipated.
"I'm okay…! Just extremely colorful… ow…"
"Drat!"
"Nothing's broken, thankfully… just my pride!"
"Double drat!"
End BGM
"Well, that covers everyone." Ruby nodded and thought of something. "What about-"
"Mario has an intense rivalry with Donkey Kong. He doesn't want any part of it."
"Ouch… okay, I guess that covers everyone!" Ruby said and looked at Shantae. "Do you want to come with?"
"Sure! I'll bring my friends along!" Shantae grinned. "We'll meet ya at the portal!" She said and disappeared.
Later, in the Portal Room…
"Wow, so these take you to the various universes?" Weiss asked.
"Interesting… so we can fully explore Hyrule…" Blake mused.
"Perfect!" Yang grinned and then they heard footsteps as Shantae, Sky, Bolo and Rottytops approached them.
"Hello~!" Rotty gave a friendly wave.
"I suppose this is everyone?" Sky asked.
"Pretty much." Tifa nodded.
"Yeah, alright Funky, we're ready!" Yang said.
"Alriiiiight! Let's roll, my dudes!" He exclaimed and then walked into the portal with everyone in tow.
BGM: DK Isle (Donkey Kong 64)
"Wow… that's pretty!" Ruby grinned.
"DK Island is literally a head…" Weiss sweatdropped. "Just when I thought I saw it all in the Mushroom Kingdom…"
"Looks cool… wonder where they sleep?" Bolo wondered.
"One way to find out." Sky chuckled.
Donkey Kong let out a chuckle and lead them all inside the head to Jungle Japes to introduce him to his friends, completely unaware of a crocodile-shaped ship heading straight for the island… and then crashing onto the beach.
End BGM
"OOOOF!" K. Rool yelled, nearly falling off of his throne. "Who taught you how to drive!"
"I told him to brake! But he didn't listen!" A Kritter defended.
"Oh, so it's MY fault?!" Another Kritter yelled. "You weren't watching where you were going!"
"At least I don't have a lead foot!"
"Why you!"
"Enough!" K. Rool yelled. "We have them all within the island! Oi, hag! You put your problems in that island now, didn't you?"
"I have a name you know! But yes, I have. They are deep in the island and they will fall victim to your Blast-o-Matic!"
"Excellent!" K. Rool smirked. "I have the Kongs within my grasp… along with those blasted teenagers! Fire the Blast-o-Matic!" K. Rool yelled as the Kremlings went right to work as the laser started charging up, aiming at DK Isle with a devilish smirk… and then it suddenly shut off. "…What." K. Rool could only say in disbelief. "What happened?!"
"Your excellency! The power is completely wiped out!"
"WHAT! How can you IDIOTS ruin a perfectly good plan?!"
"Well, sire, we did use a lot of power to get here…"
"I have used this Blast-o-Matic repeatedly on exact replicas of DK Isle! It's in my Final Smash for Kremling's sake! I've been practicing time and time again to perfect it… and you idiots FAILED on my big moment?!"
"Well, what do you expect us to do? Go get a Smash Ball to charge it up?"
"YES! One of you nimrods go and get me a Smash Ball so I can bring this to full power! I don't care how long it takes!"
"He's not serious, is he?"
"Have you SEEN that look in his eye? Go get it!"
"R-right!" The Kritter saluted, getting himself into a rowboat and rowing away.
"In the meantime, we can use the backup generator to charge it up while we wait…" K. Rool growled. "You! Hag! You think you can lock them up while we wait?"
"How do you want me to do it? Put them together in one cage?"
"No! Put them in separate cages throughout the island! That way, they won't team up in one cell and break out all at once. If you separate them, they can't break out! Simple as that!"
"Fine by me!" The hag laughed, summoning her broom and flying off. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She cackled.
"The time is at hand… revenge will be mine! I will not be humiliated by the Kongs nor that blonde teenager anymore!" K. Rool declared, then started laughing evilly.
When K. Rool was revealed in that Smash Direct, one of my friends approached me and asked me if we could do a story celebrating the return of K. Rool and I was like "Okay... so Donkey Kong Country then?" and then he said "How about Donkey Kong 64?" and lo and behold, here it is!
In case if it wasn't obvious, yes, that hag is Gruntilda. Since Banjo showed up at E3, why not throw in Banjo and Kazooie into this story as well? It works!
I also debated whether to throw this into the RWBY/Mario category, but since it's all about DK, I thought "Why not make it RWBY/Donkey Kong instead?" I mean hey, if RWBY/Kid Icarus can work and tie into RWBY/Mario then so can this!
Anyway, take care!
EDIT: Ahaha... thanks to that Guest Review, I fixed up the dialogue where Ruby called her own boyfriend an idiot. Eheheh... don't know why I had her call him that. Wonder if it's because I had unintentionally inserted myself into Ruby and called Pit an idiot? Eh... no... that wouldn't make sense. Oh well.
