A while has passed since the trio began their journey to free their friends and save Galeem. As they began to walk, they noticed something in the distance. It kind of looked like an orb, with a Smoky Progg inside of it. They did not know what it did or what it was but as they walked to it, something came up on Jordan's Switch. It was a description, consisting of the creature, an image of an alternate version of Mario with red eyes, and a stage.

"So what do you guys think this means?" Rose was curious

"Poyo, poyo!"

"Hmm… you may be right…"

"Wait," said Jordan. "You can understand him?"

"Yes. I am a sorceress. If you want, I can make it so you can understand him too."

"Well, sure! How does it work?"

Rose then waved her wand and whispered an incantation, ending with Jordan covered in a cloud.

"So did it work?"

"I don't know. Did it?" He was surprised to hear Kirby actually talk.

"Wow! It actually works! Thanks, Rose!"
"Oh, no problem! Anyway, so I assume we are supposed to engage in a battle?"

"I believe so," said Kirby. "Galeem did copy the other fighters, as we saw with Mario."

"I think I can take him down."

Jordan decided to do this battle. Given the thumbs up from the other two, a portal appeared, giving Jordan an opportunity to jump in. He appeared on a stage that looked like it was from Pikmin. That was when he noticed the Puppet Mario, ready to fight.

(One battle later…)

Jordan emerged victorious from the battle, with the Smoky Progg showing great appreciation. He then offered to take refuge in Jordan's bag until he was needed. The trio can only assume that every battle would be like this one, so they decided to continue on and free other Spirits along the path.

(A little while later…)

After a couple of other battles, they came across something that was different from what they already saw. It was a statue that looked like Mario. Looking at his Switch, Jordan saw that it was, in fact, the real Mario. He still had the same red eyes though, so he assumed he was somehow brainwashed by Galeem. The trio was worried as they pondered over what needs to be done. Jordan once again offered to fight, having done enough battles to know what to expect from him. Once he went into the portal, Kirby and Rose decided to chat.

"So… you're a Plant sorceress?"

"Yes. I am actually from medieval times. However, I used my magic to send myself to the future to help fight against the Zombies. So what's your story."

"Oh, I fight different kinds of monsters that threaten my world. So who is the fighter that you want to save the most?"

"Wall-Knight. He means the world to me!"

"Aww, you two are real close?"

"Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

"That's cute! So you are talking about that Wall-nut with the belt right?"

"Yes."

As soon as she finished, Jordan came back, but with someone else. They saw Mario fall on the ground before he began to regain consciousness.

"Kirby, Rose! You two are okay!"

Mario quickly went over to hug them both, glad to see they were both okay.

"So," said Rose. "What do you remember after getting hit by the light?"

Mario then stated what he remembered, mainly finding himself and the other fighters bounded by bands that make it impossible to escape. That was all he could remember before getting dust sprayed onto him.

"That's messed up." Jordan and the group knew they must act quickly to stop Galeem. Which, at the moment, includes deciding which direction to go. They came across an intersection that contained three statues of different fighters. Everyone decided on which one to free first, hoping that they can free the others at another time. They eventually decided on the Villager and decided to battle him. Well, Mario did. The others waiting for him to finish.

What everyone didn't know was that they were being watched by someone. It was Palutena, except she was not on the field. She was in a dark room, looking over

"So they are working to free the others, huh? Well, maybe we should make things a little more difficult…"

Using her staff, she summoned some Master Hands to block the other paths as soon as Mario finished his battle against the Villager.

"Well, that blows…" said the Villager.

Knowing they have nowhere else to go, the group continued forward, looking to free more captive fighters.

(A long, long, long, while later…)

A long time has passed since we have last seen our heroes, as they have freed a large number of fighters from their state. As of right now, the group currently consisted of around 20 freed fighters, and they were currently in Bowser's Kingdom. Right now, Mario was battling against Giga Bowser, something that Galeem had chosen specifically for Bowser to take the form of. For everyone, this means that if Giga Bowser is defeated, then the real Bowser would be freed.

Monitoring the battle, Jordan and some of the others were watching her take Giga Bowser down.

"So how exactly are you viewing the battle?" Kirby's question kinda threw him off guard, since he actually did not know how this worked. He decided not to question it though…

And it was at that point when Mario reappeared with Bowser appearing behind him.

"Ugh, my head…"

"Are you okay?" Mario made sure his rival was okay.

"Yeah, I think so…"

The ground started to rumble as the group exited the area. Using his Switch, Jordan saw that the shield surrounding Galeem was weakened. He was happy to see this since it means that everyone was one step closer to defeating him!

"Okay, now that we finished an area… I need a nap!"

Jordan almost immediately fell down and fell asleep. Him traveling this whole time has taken a lot out of him. A few of the other Smashers were getting tired too, so they decided to set up camp for the night.

AU: And Chapter 1 of Part 1 has begun. So I decided to do a trilogy of fanfictions, with the first one being the Light side, the second being the Dark side, and the third being the Light and Dark side. I also want to focus on only some of the key aspects, which basically means only certain fights and the Plant and Zombie Heroes would be covered in terms of them being freed.

Also, I decided to do the fighters for boss battles depending on their Classic Mode. So… use your imagination as to what happens during the battle. And how is Jordan's Switch able to do all these things? I do not know. This is for fun!

Don't worry, Season 2 is being greenlit and more main Mario stories are coming soon!

Anyways, leave a review. Never hurts to help!
