As the new force known as Dharkon retreated to his realm, the fighters stood, stunned at what was happening. As of now, every current fighter was staring into the crack that Dharkon has created. Jordan figured that this was where he was waiting for everyone to fight him.

"We can only assume that this is where he is," said Rose. "We must keep moving! We cannot keep doing this forever."

Everyone agreed to this notion and entered the crack in their own ways. Jordan entered in Racoon form, landing first at what looks like the center of this new realm. Compared to the Light Realm, this realm was red, black, and dark all over. There were also three separate paths that possibly lead to different battles.

"So," said Kirby. "I can assume how we are going to do this?"

"Yup! Each of us can split up and go in the separate paths!" Jordan understood what Kirby was thinking, but to the group, it came out sounding like "Puyo!" Either way, all of the groups split up and went their separate ways. May luck be with them…

Jordan's group decided to go north, hoping to finish as soon as everyone can. Before they could even go five minutes, a Crazy Hand appeared, apparently challenging one of the groupmates. Jordan volunteered, wanting to get a taste of how he plays.

(Sorry. Not including Hand battles for now. At least until the end…)

One explosion from the Hand sent everyone the message that Jordan was successful. He hoped the others were having an easier time than he was. Crazy Hand fights so crazily! But he knew that Crazy Hand will be saved soon and signaled everyone to continue. Before the portal which led to another area was what looked like a puzzle. Jordan, as he observed, noticed someone ahead. While it was a little bit hard to see, he immediately figured out who it was when he noticed a little star attached to it.

"Rosalina!" Jordan was ecstatic at finally finding her and tried to figure out which path leads to her. Eventually, with help from his Switch, he found the path to her and Luma and prepared to battle.

The stage was Final Destination as Jordan appeared out of a portal. This battle should be relatively simple but remembered that he cannot let his guard down. Then Rosalina and Luma, in their lifeless husks, appeared before him, signaling Jordan that they will not take time to talk like he normally does. Luckily for Jordan, being a Rosalina player, he knew about her weaknesses as well, mainly surrounding Luma. But even without her Luma, Rosalina was still a formidable opponent. Jordan learned this s they battle, with Jordan using his pendant to outsmart her long enough to defeat them.

It was only after two minutes after Jordan knocked the fallen Rosalina out, dragging him back into the portal, along with Rosalina and Luma. He appeared before the group, carrying Rosalina in his arms, gently placing her down. Everyone else secretly knew how much she meant to him and decided to give him some space. She did wake up, hugging Jordan the instant she sees him.

"You made it!"

"Yup. This day has been so hard for me!"

"Wait, do you still have the remote?"

"Yes. That's how I managed to escape!"

"You are so resourceful!"

"Thanks!"

"Hey," said Ganondorf. "So are we going to continue or…"

"Oh, yeah!" Jordan and Rosalina took a moment to remember their situation as everyone started to continue on foot.

The rest of the path was full of Spirit Battles, with a dash of trivia questions. Some of them Jordan knew, some of the others knew. It took them about 45 minutes to an hour to get through them all, mainly due to a tough battle involving Tabuu, who surprised most of the others considering who he is. It was a tough battle, mainly because the Puppet was Bayonetta, but they did win the battle.

After the battle, a path appeared in the center of the vortex that the last puzzle was on. It leads to a portal, which was for the next boss battle. When the group reached the portal, Rosalina and Luma volunteered to do this battle.

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah! You have done so much for us! We just want to repay you and the others!"

"Oh, thanks!" He hugged Rosalina for this, a couple of moments before she departed.

Rosalina took notice of a cute little creature who was balancing himself on a ball.

"Huh. He kinda reminds me of Iggy…" Oh, he would not in a moment. The creature transformed into some kind of monster. A creepy monster who goes by the name Marx. His style is mainly unpredictable. One moment, he could be on one side of the stage, the next he could be on the other, shooting black balls from his eyes. Though spacing was never the duo's issue for obvious reasons. Marx began to speak.

"Ooh, space god! And I assume that this is some kind of plush toy?"
"This is a Luma. And I suggest you do not belittle him!"
"Oh, and what are you gonna do about it?!"
Rosalina responding by launching Luma right into him.

"Oh, okay then! Let's battle!"
The trio then battled for ten minutes. Part of the reason was that of his almost constant shifting and teleporting. Another reason was that of his focus on Luma. Every time Luma reappears, Marx would refocus his moves on him, but Rosalina did give him some karma in the form of her cosmic wand and moves. Jordan was enjoying his crush winning this battle, still being displayed on his Switch. Oh, he did die. Eventually, he noticed the portal glowing brightly, signaling him that Rosalina was victorious. She and Luma came out of the portal victorious as Jordan unconsciously hugged her. It took a moment to realize what he was doing, breaking the hug.

"Hehe, sorry…"

"Oh, it's alright. I know you're concerned about me!"

Rosalina enjoyed teasing Jordan a bit for his reactions. She started to see why Palutena was always teasing Pit like that…

"So where do we go now?" Jordan asked this question realizing that they are so far from the portal that brought them to this place. He pondered and pondered… before getting an idea. He took out the remote (Didn't expect to see that again, did you?), and tried to do something to it. A blast from the remote opened a portal that bought everyone to the center that Dharkon created. They took notice of the other groups arriving moments later.

"Hey, Jordan!" Pit was happy to see his comrade again.

"Hello again, Pit! How did your group do?"

"Well, we ended up going through a puzzle involving Hyrule. Link and Zelda knew, of course, but Link does not talk. At least I don't think… anyway, Zelda solved it solved relatively quickly!"

"Aww, thanks Pit!" Zelda gave Pit a quick peck on the cheek for complimenting her. "So how did you do?"

"We found Rosalina and she battled against some pink creature with wings."

"Marx!" Kirby remembered how crazy he acted in his other form. "Hey, here comes the third group!"

Rose and the remaining fighters came along.

"So we ended up going to Dracula's castle."

"Lucky we were with them!" Simon and Richter, being the Castlevania characters, had deep knowledge of the castle, so they also got to finish quickly.

"Well, good for you!"
Everyone was interrupted by Dharkon appearing in the middle of the stage.

"Who shall battle me?!"

"You want some cheese to go with that ham?" Jordan joked at this, while Rose decided to volunteer to battle Dharkon. She jumped into the middle of the circle, entering Dharkon's battle.

AU: So because of the three separate paths from the middle, as well as having three separate main heroes, I decided to have each of them lead a group into the different section. You know, to make it go by quicker. I am still unsure if I want to cover the other groups because I do not know the characters that well for banter.

There's also a reason why I'm saving the boss battle dialogue, particularly the Dharkon and Galeem battles. See, there is a final, final section of the mode involving light and dark. Speaking of which, as of the end of Dharkon's battle, all of the Fallen Fighters will be saved and ready to take on both. Also, if you noticed no Crazy Hand battle, I am saving that for the end as well, since I will be able to cover the real Hands' rescue.

Also, should I cover the other group's battles? I am not sure if I should do that or just go into the final part.
