As Samus is hurdling towards the planet, on her ship it senses a large amount of energy coming from the forest she is about to land into, however she crashes into some trees before she can find out what the energy readings were picking up and her ship is stuck among trees.
As she exits her ship, it's about to fall on her and as she dodges she sees its flipped upside down. As she looks around she spots a woman with red hair kneeling in front of a plant.
NEWCOMER: Cierra
"Do you know where I am?"
"You're in Riveria."
"Do you know where the exit is?"
"Since I am done gathering herbs I can show you."
Music: Self-Discipline (Riveria, rock version)
P1: Samus or Cierra
Cierra takes out her rapier and stabs a minish elf several times until it dies. Going down the path she finds 2 elves and stabs at them and randomly pulls out rosier which instantly kills both at once! She continues along the path in the woods and sees a flying koopa, she shoots it down with her arrow. Two primids with swords takes turns slashing at her until samus fires a missle at one. Cierra heals herself with her rod and Samus fires a charged beam at the other. They move on and Cierra takes out a sword and slashes at a primid with a gun. A poppant appears and Cierra pulls out a book and concentraits her target on the candy giving creature and it explodes! She takes out a whip and grabs a roader while Samus beats on it. After a while they eventually find the exit.

P1: Dedede
After hammering and struggling trying to defeat all the opponents by himself, the king is about to get on the warp star when he is attacked by a flying fist. He dodges and sees that another roader is destroyed. He turns around to see a young man with a scarf and a garb and a sword wearing a pendant.
NEWCOMER: Issac
He holds out his hand and Dedede shakes it. The king then points to the ship with the rod and Issac nods. They both climb on to the warp star and blast off and kill a few aurorus.
