Ultimate Smash Adventure
I'll be taking advantage of the fact that I am stuck at home due to having my wisdom teeth removed (ouch) and go ahead and type up this chapter. Plus this chapter is considerably shorter than the last few chapters of this arc. So here it is!

The Ritual is complete, and how this all came to be
Mario had to stop every so often because every now and then, some violent tremor would rock the castle. He could guess what they all were. "Mama-mia… I-a hope they are-a winning." Mario sighed. Mario looked back with concern in his face for those he had no choice but to leave behind. Mario closed his eyes for one second before his facial expression hardened again and he turned back towards climbing up the stairs. "There should-a be no-a more looking back-a from here on-a out Mario." He told himself as he continued up the stairs.
Meanwhile…
Kefka was smiling that most sinister smile of his as he looked over the now complete Black Rune that was lying in front of him. The dark magic that was coming from such a small circular stone was so intense, that any normal person would probably be choked to death by it. "Heh heh heh…" Kefka chuckled softly, "Hah hah hah hah hah…" Growing louder, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Growing louder and more maniacal by the second. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! WAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh this is just too perfect!!!" Kefka yelled. "Now then…" Kefka raised his hands high above his head. "Mighty Black Rune! Now that you are complete! Your strength is enough to restore the power of a fallen god!!! Now restore my power to as it was!!!" The Rune gave off a sinister glow as dark magic surrounded Kefka, empowering him. "Yes… I can feel it… the feeling of being the source of magic… just like it was… before that time…" Kefka said as he began to reminisce.
Flashback…
Kefka was on the floating continent, standing in front of the three-goddess statues, the source of all magic itself. He was standing to the side of a man in finer robes than his with long white hair and an even longer and thicker mustache. In front of those two, were four people, one of them a green-haired girl in red tights and boots; a young man in a blue vest, travel worn pants and boots, and his gray hair tied in a bandana; a slightly older guy that was almost too muscular for his own shirt, and blonde hair that stood up until it made a flat top (almost like a super saiyan from DragonBall Z.). Finally, there was another girl with long blonde hair, wearing green tights and a white cape, standing over those three with a sword, whom some magical force apparently trapped.
"Celes, kill them now!" Kefka demanded, stepping closer to the blonde woman.
The blonde girl who was apparently Celes looked at all three of the captives. "Terra…" She thought while looking at the green-haired girl. "Sabin…" She thought while looking at the muscular guy. Finally, she turned to the guy with the bandana, looking at him with the most sadness in her eyes. "Locke…I'm…sorry…" She thought as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Celes…" Locke muttered. Celec raised her sword high over the three of them and…
Back to the present…
Mario finally opened a large set of doors and walked in. "Mama-mia… it's-a empty." Mario said looking around. Indeed, the whole room was bare except for several locked doors, the only door that wasn't locked was a door very similar to the one Mario just entered through. "I-a guess that's-a the way." Mario said as he started walking for the door.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…"
"Hm?" Mario looked around for the source of that growling. After finding nothing, he shrugged and continued walking.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…"
"What-a is it-a?" Mario asked no one in particular, looking around extra carefully this time. Mario walked forward a bit more cautiously this time, keeping his guard up.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…" This growl was followed by the low sound of a metal door opening.
"What?" Mario turned around, and one of the locked doors was opening by itself, revealing a pair of glowing red eyes. "Uh-ooooooh…" Mario said.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!" A Great Behemoth creature from Final Fantasy ran out at Mario on all fours, causing a massive tremor as he ran.
"Wah-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Mario somersaulted in the air and landed a solid kick on the G. Behemoth's face.
"Grrrrrrrrooooooooooooaaarrr!!!" The G. Behemoth stood up on its hind legs as Mario jumped off his face and took a swipe at Mario with his claws to no avail.
"Take-a this!" Mario then threw multiple fireballs at the G. Behemoth's face.
"Groar! Groar! Groooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!" It yelled in pain with each fireball, taking an unsteady step backward each time.
"Now-a for the-a finishing blow!" Mario leaped at it doing a barrel-roll in mid-air, adding momentum to a solid punch to the creature's stomach.
SLAM
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!" It roared as it fell backwards dead.
"Whew… that-a wasn't so bad-a." Mario said.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…" As if on those words… all the other dozens of metal doors opened slowly, each one revealing the same pair of glowing eyes.
"Uh-ooooooooooooohhhhh…" Mario said.
Meanwhile…
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Yes my power is restored!!! At long long last!!! It is restored!!! Now I shall spread my wrath across every dimension!!! Every world!!! Now everyone suffer!!!" Kefka created a magic circle glowing with a dark purple light, shadows started flying from it, through the walls of Kefka's room. "That's right! Spread my hatred across all the lands!!! Make everyone wish they were never born!!!" Kefka yelled as the shadows fled from the room.
Meanwhile…
Samus was still limping her way toward the castle when she started to notice something strange. "What…? Why is the X-dimension acting so strange?" Various parts of the void of the X-dimension seemed to be in a state of flux as portals began to open all around it. Suddenly, shadows from the tallest tower of Kefka's castle began to creep through the air toward each of the open portals and make their way through them all. "What?"
Meanwhile…
"Luffy! We can't get a new ship!" Usopp was complaining. "This was a gift from Kaiya!"
"But Usopp, this ship is falling apart." Luffy said, showing a rare sign of logical reasoning.
"It's a strain for him to think, but Luffy's right Usopp." Sanji said.
"But… but…" Usopp quivered.
"We might be able to get if fixed at the next island." Luffy suddenly reassured Usopp.
"And the next island is… a place called Water 7." Nami said looking at her map.
"Say… why is the sky getting dark?" Chopper asked looking at the darkening sky. Suddenly shadows came out of unknown portals and landed in the ocean, taking shape in to…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! MONSTEEEEEEEEEERRRSSS!!!" Usopp and Chopper shouted at the same time, running in to the cabin. Indeed, the shadows seemed to create long, pure black snake-like sea monsters.
Meanwhile…
The settlers at Keyhaul Key were trying to escape in to the jungle with everything from the settlement they could grab, running from these strange black, giant crab creatures that suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Run for yer lives mates!" Pa-Patch yelled running through the jungles.
Meanwhile…
Strange winged creatures were flying through New York City, tearing up everything as they went. Spider-man released a web he was swinging on and made one disappear in a single kick before shooting another web-line. "Jeez, these things are everywhere." Spider-man said as he punched another one swinging by it. Spider-man was about to get swallowed by another winged creature when a round, red, white, and blue shield sliced through it.
"Ultimates! Let's go!" Captain America shouted as the entire Ultimates team dispersed and began attacking these winged creatures.
Meanwhile…
Sonic dashed through a group of these giant black lizards, causing them to disappear in a puff of black smoke. "Augh! They won't stop coming!" Sonic said dashing through another crowd of them.
"I could use a hand here!" Knuckles said punching every creature around him, but he was slowly getting overwhelmed.
Elsewhere Shadow the Hedgehog had his hands full as well. Although, he did have a different way of looking at it. "This will prove I am the ultimate life-form!" Shadow declared. He quickly dashed through a crowd, punching and kicking these monsters as he passed by.
Meanwhile…
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto leaped at these strange black humanoid creatures that were assaulting the village and began recklessly beating them down.
"Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Sasuke peppered as many as he could with his fireballs.
"Leaf Hurricane!" Rock Lee performed a mighty swallow kick and cleared out many in one move.
"Eight-Trigrams sixty-four palms!" Neji attacked as many as he could rapidly, easily taking them out in one blow.
"Let's go Akamaru! Double Piercing fang!" Kiba and Akamaru, who was transformed as Kiba, spun through a crowd of these creatures and took them out.
"Lightning Blade!" Kakashi had his Sharingan eye uncovered and his left hand glowing with intense chakra as he ran through a crowd, taking them all out with a swipe of his hand.
"Hiyah!" Tsunade leaped through the air and brought her leg down in the center of a crowd of these invaders and buried them all in the crater her kick created before she went and demolished every attacker with her absurdly strong punches and kicks.
Meanwhile…
"Dang it! Of all times for Meta-Knight not to be here!" King Dedede shouted as he watched from the castle walls the army of black mole creatures wander through the evacuated Cappy Town, tearing it down piece by piece.
Meanwhile…
"Citizens of Mute City! Prepare for evac code 12!!! This is not a drill, repeat this is no…" The speakers were cut off as these bat-like black creatures tore through Mute City, tearing it to pieces as they went.
Meanwhile…
"Rain of Swords!!!" Vyse leaped high in to the air before swinging his swords to send yellow bolts of sword-shaped energy raining down on these snake-like creatures invading the ship.
"Lambda Burst!" Aika's boomerang split in to four red boomerangs as they cut through the earth and caused a fiery eruption, that roasted many of the attackers alive.
"Moons! Give me strength! Eternes!" Fina cast a spell that caused silver spikes to rain on the attackers and kill many of them with one hit.
Meanwhile…
Many flying insect like black creatures were wreaking havoc on Corneria City with the Cornerian military trying desperately to fight off the attackers. Just when one of the artillery cannons was about to get blown to smithereens, an Arwing flew in and took out the creatures about to attack it.
"Nice job Krystal! But there are still more down there." Peppy said from the Great-Fox.
"Alright Peppy! Let's go Slippy!" Krystal said confidently through the com.
"Woohoooooooooo!" Slippy said flying around Corneria City.
Meanwhile…
"Judgment!" Colette cast a spell that caused beams of light to rain down on these hulking bipedal monsters.
"Hunting Beast!" Lloyd slammed the ground with enough force to send all the nearby monsters flying through the air. "Tempest!" Lloyd did multiple front flips through the air swinging his swords as he flipped, cleaving through several monsters in a row. "I just hope the others are okay." Lloyd gasped.
"Lloyd look out!" Colette shouted as a monster almost slammed his giant fist on Lloyd's head.
"Whoa!" He shouted jumping backward.
Meanwhile…
"Tyranitar! Hyper Beam!" Wes shouted as more of black blobs oozed forward. Tyranitar charged up a powerful beam before blasting it through the crowd, destroying them all instantly. "Sorry, Rui, I know I said we'd be done with these battles but…" Wes started to say.
"Don't worry about it." Rui assured him.
Back to Kefka…
"Heh heh heh heh… yes I can feel the misery, the suffering, of all of those worthless creatures everywhere. Ah yes it is good to be all-powerful…" Kefka sighed evilly. Then his face turned to an angry frown. "But I was once like this… until…"
Back to the flashback…
Celes held her sword over her victims, she paused and then said, "Power only brings war… I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEN BORN!!!" She shouted, she suddenly turned around and slashed at Kefka.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Kefka leaned backward but still received a deep cut on his cheek as he hit the ground. Kefka slowly, with a trembling hand felt his bleeding cheek, and he looked at the blood he had on his fingers. "Blood…" He started to say with a trembling voice. "… how… dare you… I hate, hate, hate, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE YOU!!!" Kefka screamed. Kefka then stood up and went for the statues. "Statues! I command you to give me your power!!!" Kefka said standing in the middle of the magical field.
"Kefka! What are you doing!?" Emperor Ghesthal asked him. "Don't do anything stupid!" He demanded.
"Grrrrr…" The magical field then knocked Kefka out of the vicinity of the statues a short way, before he got back up. "I… will… destroy… you all." Kefka said limping toward the statues and standing in the field.
"I am sorry Kefka, but you are no longer any use to me." Ghesthal said pointing a glowing hand at Kefka.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Kefka started laughing.
"You're… laughing? Well then, it is only fitting that you die laughing." Ghesthal said. "Firaga!" He cast his spell, Kefka froze in fear for a second, but then resumed laughing when nothing happened. "What? Meteo!" Once again, nothing happened. "Merton!" Ghesthal continued, and still nothing happened. "What? My magic isn't working!"
"That's because as long as I'm in the field of the three goddesses, magic can't touch me!" Kefka yelled maniacally. "Goddesses! You have shown me a sign! Now strike down this fool with your power!" Kefka commanded. Lightning began to strike all around Ghesthal as he ran around trying to avoid it. "A little to the left." Kefka directed. "You almost got him!" Finally, the mighty bolt struck Ghesthal and knocked him out in one hit. "Yes!!!"
"Aaaaaahhh…" The four heroes moaned as they saw Kefka kill his own emperor.
"What have you done?" Celes asked.
"Silence!" Kefka backhanded Celes with enough force to almost send her over the edge of the floating continent. Kefka then stepped out of the field and kicked the emperor off the continent to his doom below. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" Kefka then walked over to the statues and began pushing them out of alignment.
"No!!!" Celes shouted. "Nice going Kefka! Push them out of their delicate balance and it will tear the world apart!" Celes shouted at him.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Kefka laughed ignoring her yelling as he continued to push them out of alignment. "Huh? Who the heck are you?" Kefka asked. A man in a black ninja outfit suddenly leaped through the air out of nowhere and landed right next to Kefka, the man began to push the statues back in to alignment. "Hey! What are you doing!" Kefka ran toward the statue and began to push back against the man.
"Shadow! You came back!" Locke shouted as the paralysis spell wore off.
"Go! I'll try and keep this madman occupied!" Shadow shouted. The four ran off, and eventually, that man ran off as well, leaving Kefka alone.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! You have failed to stop me! All of you have failed!!!" Kefka yelled. So for another year, Kefka ruled over the world, destroying as many towns as he pleased during that time period. Being the God of magic. Until all of those heroes from a year ago with all of their friends came to stop him for good. He was sure he had the edge, after all. He was a god, but still, somehow, they stopped him. He couldn't understand it, how did they stop him? Was he not almighty? Over the years, the world began to repair itself from his destruction. He was thought dead, but… he still lurked in the shadows. Over the years, magic found a new source, and some people began to learn how to use magic again, except for him.
End of flashback…
"Oh… those were painful days. Even after everyone thought magic was gone for good, it came back to them. While I remained powerless." Kefka said to himself. "But then I found you my pretty…" Kefka said walking toward the Black Rune. "I found a piece of you… and I felt some of my awesome power return. Then, the knowledge of your previous master came to me. Yes, and from that knowledge, I came up with a plan to assemble the worst of the worst in those dimensions, seek the remaining pieces of you… and regain my almighty strength." Kefka thought smiling. "Aaaaaaah yeeeeessss…" Kefka practically hissed.
Meanwhile…
"Mama-mia!" Mario shouted. He leaped as high in to the air as he could to avoid getting crushed by the many G. Behemoths that lunged at him like sharks at a feeding frenzy. One G. Behemoth tried to swipe his claws at Mario, but he skillfully pulled out his cape and turned the monster around with one swipe, causing it to swipe one of its brethren. Mario landed only to jump once again. "Can't-a you guys slow it-a down just a tad-a?" Mario asked since all this jumping around was beginning to get exhausting.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!" One lunged at Mario. Mario quickly kicked off his face and in to another one's chest. He then kicked off of that and threw several fireballs at another one, leaving it a burning crisp.
"Uh-oh." Mario wall jumped to avoid getting crushed by another G. Behemoth that crashed in to the wall when he missed. "Mario tornado drill!" Mario then spun around in mid-air like a drill and he drilled full force in to the G. Behemoth's spine.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!" It screamed as before it finally died.
"Whoa!" Mario back flipped away from getting flattened by a giant claw, only to get swiped away in mid-air and sent crashing in to the wall violently. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Oof!" Mario hit the wall bruised, and with a bloody nose. Mario turned around groggily when.
BAM
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" Mario got pinned to the wall by yet another giant hand.
"Grrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!" The G. Behemoth that pinned him to the wall removed his claw to allow another G. Behemoth's meteo spell to bombard Mario.
"Not-a so fast!" Mario pulled out his cape and began swinging it around swiftly yet gracefully to send every flaming meteor in to the G. Behemoth that flattened him.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!!!" It cried before finally dying from this blast. Mario then leaped at the caster G. Behemoth and began kicking the chest rapidly as hard as he could.
"Wah ha!" He then kicked off of that one to allow another G. Behemoth to accidentally tackle it and finish it off for him. "Mario tornado!" Mario then spun around in mid-air right next to the face of another G. Behemoth before finishing it off with, "Firebrand!" Mario unleashed a small fiery explosion right in its face.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!" All of the remaining eighteen G. Behemoths were furious now. Mario was exhausted, and he had only taken out six.
"I… guess-a… I don't-a… have a… choice-a…" Mario said. Mario reached in to another pocket of his and pulled out a fairly large mushroom that was yellow with red spots. Mario took several bites of it and paused for a few seconds. "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…" Mario started to moan angrily. Suddenly the whole room, heck the whole tower, began to shake violently.
"Grrrrrrrrrr…" All the G. Behemoths staggered looking around confused by this sudden tremor. Mario then began to grow tremendously in size, easily equaling the G. Behemoth's in size.
"Mega-Mushroom Mario!" Mario declared with a much deeper echo of a voice. Mario then threw an absurdly powerful punch that caved in the face of the G. Behemoth he punched in one hit.
"Grooooooaaaaaarrrr!!!" All of the G. Behemoths then began to lunge at him. Mario took a sumo wrestler position and began to push back against the first one, Mario then easily swung him around as he did with Bowser, taking down about five G. Behemoths with that one before hurling the one he was spinning in to a wall.
"Who's-a next?" Mario asked. One leaped at him from his left, he quickly turned and brought his right fist down on top of its head, crushing it, and then lifting his leg up behind him, kicking the one behind him under the chin with enough force to kill it. Two tried rushing him from behind, but he caught them both around the necks by wrapping his arms around them while kicking another one in front of him in the chest. This violent struggle was beginning to shake the room apart as the doors started falling in and a few stones from the ceiling began falling off.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!"
"Here we goooooooooo!!!" Mario threw the two he was strangling forward in front of him while charging up a lot of fire in his hands. "Firebrand!!!"
Meanwhile…
Kefka was still in his room reveling in his success when he heard a loud explosion from below and felt a violent rocking. "What the heck was that?" He asked out loud.
Back to Mario…
Mario was standing in the middle of the room back to his normal size; everything around him was scorched black, including the charred bodies of the G. Behemoths that attacked him. "Whew… my-a firebrand at-a that size might-a be a bit-a too powerful." Mario said wiping the sweat off his brow. Mario walked toward the door he was trying to get through earlier and proceeded up the stairs.
Meanwhile…
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh… Those smashers must be toast by now… hm?" Kefka suddenly stopped smiling. "There's still someone… coming?" Kefka asked surprised. "Impossible, who would have the gal to make it all the way up here?" Kefka asked. Suddenly the door to the entrance of the large room flung open. "What!!! Who disturb me here!?!" Kefka demanded turning around and pointing his finger at the door.
"It's-a me! Mario!" Mario proudly introduced holding out his hand and smiling.
