BGM: Life at Garreg Mach Monastery (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Byleth stared at the Smash Invitation in her hands and then looked up at Master Hand. "You… think I'd make a great addition to the roster?"

"That is correct!" Master Hand exclaimed. "You and your brother would make a great addition to the roster!"

Byleth nodded. "I am honored. I look forward to sparring with everyone."

"Terrific! I'm sure your students will be thrilled! Now if you'll excuse me…" Master Hand turned around. "I need to go ask a milk-brained cup if he's interested as well." He said and then floated off.

"Brother! The forums are going crazy again! They're angry that Byleth is in Smash!" Crazy Hand called out from the office.

"Oh, let them be angry! All they ever do is sit in their chairs and complain that their precious character wasn't added in! They don't do anything at all!"

"Fair enough!"

Byleth walked to a couch, noticing Bereto chatting with Roy and Marth as she sat down, then pulled out a book. I wonder if I can do my lesson plan while in this chaotic environment… She thought to herself and pulled out a feather pen. She then heard footsteps approaching her as she looked to the side to see Palutena.

"Hello there!"

Byleth blinked. "Lady Rhea?"

Palutena laughed. "Oh no no no, I'm Palutena."

"Oh."

Palutena chuckled. "It's fine." She said and then looked at Byleth's hair, noticing it was light green in color. "Oh…"

"What's wrong?"

"Mmm… looks like Sothis merged with you." She mused.

"Sothis? How do you know her?"

Palutena smiled. "I'm a goddess, and I've met Sothis in the past. One day, she mysteriously disappeared… and now here we are."

"How do you know she merged with me?"

"I recognize that hair color anywhere." She opened up a door leading to Skyworld. "Come, we're going to fix this." She took her hand.

"W-wait a minute! What about-"

"Don't worry, I'll find out a way for to keep this newfound power of yours!" She said, dragging her into the door and closing it behind them.

Back at DK Isle…

BGM: Fungi Forest (Donkey Kong 64)

The group wandered into a Garden area. "So, what's all this?" Ruby asked.

"By the looks of it, a garden of some kind." Qrow responded as they walked ahead, noticing a large beanstalk in front of them.

"My goodness, look at the size of that!" Kazooie exclaimed.

"I'll say!" Banjo nodded.

Ruby grinned. "Be right back!" She said, quickly jumping on a leaf and using her semblance to go on each leaf.

"Sis! What are you doing?" Yang called out.

"We've been in the Mushroom Kingdom long enough that these will take you to a secret area in the clouds!" Ruby called back as she kept climbing.

"Should we tell her those are just normal vines?" Blake asked.

"Nah, let her figure it out." Yang said and then rubbed her chin in thought. "Come to think of it, where do the vines go? You take your eyes off of them for one second and they disappear."

"At this point, I just don't question the logic in the Kingdom." Blake shrugged. "It's probably magic or something."

"Eh, fair enough."

Ruby dropped down a few seconds later. "Nope… nothing interesting up top." She sighed. "Well, actually, I found some bananas but they weren't the Golden Bananas we were looking for." She said, pulling out a pair and tossing them to the Kongs, which they happily ate.

"Come on, let's go." Shantae said as they walked off, but then the ground started shaking. "What the…?!" She exclaimed as they saw a few tomatoes pop up from the ground.

"Are these Pokemon?" Yang asked.

"Considering there's Pokemon that are cherries, ice cream, cream puffs and cotton candy, I wouldn't be surprised!" Qrow said.

"These are just regular tomatoes, but I didn't think they'd be so huge and sentient!" Tiny exclaimed.

"Well, time to put these things in the juicer!" Yang cracked her knuckles, and then called out Dàhuô where everyone quickly took out the tomatoes by punching, slashing, burning them, smashing them with a leg club in Rotty's case, exploding them with Grenade Eggs, actually eating one alive in Piranha Plant's case until there was one left where Ruby cut it in half with her boomerang.

"Yeah! We're vegetable ninjas!"

"Technically, it's a fruit." Qrow corrected.

"Fruit… ninjas? Eh, I think they'd make a game out of cutting vegetables." Ruby said.

"Oh brother." Yang rolled her eyes.

"How can we be ninjas if we beat the living juice out of tomatoes?" Sky asked. "Doesn't really make sense."

"She has a point." Bolo nodded.

"Aww…" Ruby pouted.

"Come on, let's go." Qrow said. "It's getting dark, I'd rather we sleep somewhere where we won't get attacked by sentient tomatoes."

"Right." Tifa nodded.

"Is is that time already?" Shantae looked up, noticing the sky was getting dark. "Huh… what do you know…"

"Let's go find a place to rest… it's been a long day…" Yang sighed.

"Yeah, it has." Blake nodded as they walked ahead until they came across a big tree in a different area.

"This looks like a good place to rest." Qrow said with them nodding, but then Lanky noticed a shaking bush as he walked over to it and saw Rabbit shaking in terror.

"Hey, Rabbit! Why are you shaking in there?"

"Shhhh! Don't be so loud!"

"Huh? Why's that? Usually you're so energetic and love to run."

"Yes, but an owl has perched himself on that tree and he doesn't like it when anyone visits this area at night!"

"This is your home?"

"Yeah, and I was running late! This guy is really active at night!"

"Hey guys? Did that tree always have eyes?" Ruby asked.

End BGM

"Hoo dares to trespass in my domain?" A deep voice asked, hopping out of the moon light to reveal himself.

"Is that owl… wearing a viking helmet?" Blake asked.

"Viking?!" The Kongs, minus DK and Diddy yelled as the owl looked down.

"The Kongs… after our humilating defeat when we invaded your island, Lord Fredrik exiled me from the Snowmads after we had left. I was left here on my own… and I was humiliated, living off the land… but now seeing you here makes me angry."

"Why didn't you take your revenge sooner?" Blake asked.

"I had no idea where the Kongs lived on this island… but now that they're right here…" He smirked. "Skowl the Startling will have his revenge!"

"…Anyone think it's weird that we're facing a talking owl?" Ruby asked.

"Talking turtles don't bother you?" Yang asked. "Hell, a talking bear and a bird doesn't bother you? …No offense."

"None taken!" Banjo waved it off.

"I'm a little offended." Kazooie said, earning an elbow from Banjo. "Ooof!"

"Fair enough."

"Here he comes!" Tifa yelled.

BGM: Jungle Joust (Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Donkey Kong Adventure)

Skowl flew off his perch and quickly launched feather missiles from his wings, then tossed out eggs where some Hootzes popped out and tried to attack them, but Sky and Bolo quickly took care of them while the Kongs used their weapons to try and shoot him down where he gracefully dodged the walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, grapes, melons, oranges, coconut shells and practically the kitchen sink, he dove toward them with his sharp claws ready to skewer them, but was hit by a large fireball that knocked him back. He glared at the half-genie who threw it and quickly flapped his wings to try and blow Shantae away, but she transformed into an elephant to make it harder for her to get blown away.

Skowl launched icy feathers on the ground, creating spiked ice balls that rolled toward them but they were destroyed when Piranha Plant breathed fire at the ice. He then brought out a spiked ball and shot it out at Skowl to knock him to the ground who was firing feathers at Ruby and Yang. Yang then had Dàhuô tackle the Hootz and then used Ember to deal damage. "Hooo!" Skowl hooed as he flew back up and went to tackle Yang, but Blake had Belle use Fury Swipes to knock him silly, and then Ruby threw her boomerang at him to strike him down.

Skowl let out a… uh… scowl and flew up, dropping large eggs on the ground where Tifa quickly ran up and grabbed one, then threw it high into the air to smack it into him, making him fall to the ground but then he recovered and let out a "hoo" before throwing feather missiles at them, while Banjo cocked Kazooie and fired eggs at him in return, the feathers being destroyed and the eggs popping on contact with the feathers as Skowl unleashed more icy spiked balls, which Piranha Plant batted away and smacked Skowl in the chest, knocking him down. Donkey Kong gave Chunky a boost and tossed him up in the air where Chunky used his elbow to slam into Skowl, crashing him into the ground.

"Hooooogh…" Skowl groaned, stars spinning around him.

"Allow me." Yang smirked, getting into a position. "Here goes…" She sad, pressing her hands together. "HAAAADOKEN!" She yelled, but nothing came out, causing her to sweatdrop. "Son of a-… fine… Dàhuô, tackle him…"

"Tep!"

"That's not gonna do much damage!" Blake exclaimed.

Dàhuô started running. "Tep Tep Tep Tepig-" Suddenly, Dàhuô caught ablaze. "TEPIG TEP TEP… TEEEEPIIIIIG!" Dàhuô slammed into him, having unleashed Flame Charge.

"HOOOOO!" Skowl cried as he was knocked back, and then Donkey Kong grabbed him by the talons, spinning him around and making him drop Golden Bananas before he launched him into the stratosphere.

End BGM

"…But that certainly will." Blake said.

"That was incredible, Dàhuô!" Yang praised, hugging him. "Way to go!"

"Tep Tep!" Dàhuô smiled, happily nuzzling against her.

"I think that was Flame Charge." Qrow said.

"That was so cool!" Ruby's eyes sparkled. "You gotta teach me that!"

"Now now, let's not go too crazy." Qrow said, ruffling up his niece's hair. "This spot looks perfect to camp out for the night." He said, as they nodded as they went to gather up logs to sit down on and made a makeshift camp fire where Shantae ignited the flames.

"Ah, nice and toasty." Shantae smiled.

"So, who's going to get the first watch?" Blake asked.

"That'll be me." Rotty smiled. "I'm a zombie, we don't need sleep."

"Just don't eat my brain! I need it!" Kazooie said.

"Don't worry, bird brain, I'm not going to eat yours. I'm more interested in Shantae's." Rotty giggled.

Shantae sweatdropped. "Ooof course you are."

"Welp… I think it's time we get some shut eye. It's another long day tomorrow." Qrow said.

"Yeah… night!" Ruby said, lying herself down and falling asleep as one by one, they fell asleep as Yang cuddled with Dàhuô in her arms, the latter gently licking her cheek before falling asleep. Rotty watched them all fall asleep as she looked up at the stars.

"Hmm, I wonder if we'll ever find Weiss…"

Speaking of Weiss…

BGM: Crystal Caves (Donkey Kong 64)

A Kritter was walking around, playing on a Game Boy that had a crocodile skin on it. "Yeah, that's right! King K. Rool is superior!" He laughed. "Man, I love King K. Rool Country! It's far superior than that crummy ol' Donkey Kong version! Ahahaha!"

He wasn't looking where he was going… as he slipped on a banana peel. "Whoa! WHOA! WHOOOOOOOA!" He yelled, falling into the water and taking his Game Boy with him.

Weiss appeared from a corner, surprised. "I can't believe that worked." She said and then went into the shadows once more, climbing up on some ledges until she came across Cranky's lab. "Oh?" She looked at the building before walking in.

End BGM

BGM: Professor E. Gadd (Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time)

"Hello?" Weiss called out.

"Eh? Who's there?" Cranky peeked up from his work. "Oh, it's you. Your friends are looking everywhere for you. I imagine they'll be coming in any second now."

"Actually, I busted out of my prison. I'm trying to find my way out of here."

"Well, keep looking. This ain't the exit."

"Right… what are you working on?"

"This? It's a potion to help that firecracker."

"Firecrack-… what, does Yang need added defense or something?"

"Nope, her aura went kaput! Turns out K. Rool sucked all of her aura out, so now she's nothing more than glass. One wrong move and boom, she's toast!"

"He did WHAT?!"

"Yeah, and I heard from Funky that Yang fought K. Rool out at Gloomy Galleon and got her butt handed to her, also threatened to kill her sister if she didn't stand down. Yang came this close to getting a cannonball for a head hadn't the weather changed and struck him with a lightning bolt. Her aura is good as gone, but I'm working on it!"

Weiss clenched her fists. "…No. I can't just sit back and let him get away with it."

"What are you gonna do, be a one woman army in this place searching for K. Rool? Might as well take on the miniboss and the boss of this place while you're at it!"

"That's what I am going to do. I figured if I find the head honcho of this area and beat him, I'll find my way out of here."

Cranky looked amused. "Y-you? Beat the head-OHOHOHOHO! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HOOOHOOOHOOO! Oh, that's a good one!"

"What's so funny?"

"Look, ice queen, you can't take a hit to save your life. I've heard rumors that you lost to a guy with a chainsaw who landed a decent hit on you… on a train, no less!" Cranky laughed. "You also look like the person who loses every fight that she's in. Heck, I bet if you had a battle to the death with another ice queen… you'd be the one who'd lose! Face it, you're just one hit away from being knocked out."

Weiss smirked. "Is that a fact?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, I'm going to prove you wrong, old man. I'm going to kick butt and I'm not going to go down so easily. I'm tougher than I look!"

"Ha! If you do manage to beat the boss here on your own, which I doubt you will, I'll eat my own cane!"

"Challenge accepted." Weiss said, walking away.

"How will you beat the boss without a weapon?"

Weiss summoned her Schnee Orbitars. "With these." She said and walked out.

"Hmph! Like those lousy things will work… she's gonna come crawling back here soon, begging for my help." Cranky chuckled, continuing working on his potion.

End BGM

Weiss took a deep breath once she was outside. "Let's go." She said, and then took off, ready to prove the old man wrong.

Next chapter is gonna be all about Weiss! This is gonna be fun!

So, as I've finally got around to do another playthrough of Three Houses (This time doing Golden Deer), something bugs me about Byleth. They run really fast in their game... yet in Smash they're the slowest? Doesn't really make sense now that I think about it.

Anyway, I have a new poll set for y'all, and it concerns Cuphead! Take care, y'all!
