Chapter 5: Those by the Fist

"Another change has happened, and this time it's quite serious." Shulk said to Pit and Marth, causing Pit to ask. "What is it this time?"

"M. Bison is planning to control the world with his Operation C.H.A.I.N.S so he can control the twin dark moons to increase his power." Palutena told them, to which future Rosalina added. "And so far, Ryu and the others are trying to stop him, with little luck. You shall enter where Charlie Nash sacrificed himself to weaken Bison's power."

"No doubt Ganondorf has something big on his mind. But despite him being weakened, Bison is getting stronger." Shulk told them.

"Right. We'll head over there and put a stop to their plans." Marth said in reply as he and Pit held onto the scroll, teleporting away moments later.

-Street Fighter V timeline-

Marth and Pit reappeared behind the computer where they saw their old ally, Ryu, who was facing off against M. Bison, who had burst with a great surge of power.

"As I expected, you are the one who comes to me in all this chaos." Bison said as he walked up to Ryu, knowing he has defeated a powerful monster who once came to absorb his and Bison's souls but failed. "You had the power to actually defeat that beast. Now show it to me!"

Ryu looked at his hand before he clenched it into his fist.

"This power is not to defeat. This is the power to move forward." Ryu said back.

"Humph. Power is just power." Bison commented, before he exclaimed. "The desire for all power leads to conflict. And that conflict leads to the ultimate battle! Now it's the time!"

"Sounds like you are planning to die from the beginning." Came a japanese voice behind him, causing him to uncross his arms. "You really are pathetic."

Bison and Ryu turned to the source to find a man who was shirtless, but wore white karate pants, red gloves and had black, spiky hair that stuck out from the back and had a single red eye, to which Marth and Pit saw him too and were left in shock.

"What? What are you doing here?" Bison questioned, surprised somewhat. "Kazuya Mishima of G Corporation."

"Hmph. If this fighter is all you need to defeat, then I shall crush him as well." Kazuya said in reply as he walked besides Bison and used the Devil Gene to power up.

"What's the leader of G Corporation doing here?" Ryu asked, while Pit spoke through his communicator. "Palutena, where'd Kazuya Mishima come from? He wasn't there a minute ago."

{He's just like Cortex and Ripto. Ganondorf must have brought him here from his world. Please, aid Ryu!} Palutena replied.

"Ok!" Marth said as both he and Pit drew out their weapons and rushed over to Ryu's side surpassing him.

"Marth? Pit? What are you two doing here?" Asked Ryu.

"Just here to help you." Pit said in reply, while Bison and Kazuya were both powered up by Ganondorf's dark magic too.

"Hmph. More garbage." Bison said upon seeing the new heroes join the battle, before he used his Psycho Crusher attack, making Marth and Pit roll aside, while Ryu slammed his fist to Kazuya's fist.

"I don't know how I got here but it doesn't matter. Something tells me to kill you and take your power for myself." Kazuya said.

"I see... so you're after the Satsu No Hado?" Ryu questioned as he fired his Hadoken at Kazuya, only for it to be cancelled out by Kazuya's Devil Beam.

Pit held his bow and fired an arrow of light at Bison, who used his hand to block it, teleported away from Marth's Dolphin Slash, before he reappeared behind Marth and was about to blast him with another Psycho Blast, as Pit tried to strike Bison with his Upperdash Arm to stop him.

But...

Suddenly, Roy appeared out of nowhere and used his Flare Blade and slammed Bison back.

"Roy?" Marth asked, surprised. "How did you get here?"

"I asked the future Rosalina to send me here so I could lend you a hand. Listen, Mario, Link and Pikachu learnt of Bowser and the others location and are heading to them to aid Samus, so I am here to help you." Roy replied.

"Thanks Roy." Pit smiled, while Bison rose again.

"So another trash entered the fray? No matter, I will crush you all on your own level!" Bison yelled as he charged, as did the Smashers.

-Meanwhile-

Ryu was struggling to fight back against Kazuya, who was punched in the face and chest, only to be kicked back by Kazuya.

As Ryu struggled to stand after being knocked down, Kazuya grabbed his top and lifted him up.

"Die." Kazuya said as he raised his hand, ready to pierce Ryu's heart.

"Ryu!" Pit gasped upon seeing Ryu in trouble.

But as Kazuya was about to strike, a hand stopped his, causing Kazuya to turn to see who had interfered with his fight, only to be punched in the face, making him drop Ryu.

With his release, Ryu looked up to see a younger martial artist with similar hair to Kazuya's but had some fringe sticking out and wore black pants with a red and yellow fire symbol on it and red gauntlets and also had a devil mark on his arm.

"No, the only one dying here is you, Mishima Kazuya!" The young man snarled.

After getting to his feet, Kazuya wiped his mouth clear of blood and glared at the young man.

"Kazama Jin."

"Jin Kazama? The head of the Mishima Zaibatsu? Here as well?" Roy asked, while Ryu looked at Jin and was surprised too.

{What the...? first Kazuya, now Jin?} Shulk asked, to which Palutena replied. {Jin was currently fighting his father, Kazuya before Kazuya was brought here. Jin might have been brought here by accident.}

"I don't know where I am, nor do I care, but I am here for one purpose... killing you and ending the Mishima Bloodline once and for all." Jin said as he then charged at Kazuya, who charged as well and lunged their fists at each other.

"Ryu, I'll help Jin defeat Kazuya. You go and fight Bison!" Pit said, taking lead as he went over to Ryu's side, who nodded in reply as he joined Marth and Roy, as did Ryu, just as Marth and Roy had begun to use their Dancing Blade at Bison, who avoided the attacks by leaping into the air.

But seeing Bison defenceless, Ryu leapt after him with his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, which sent Bison back to the ground.

Bison cackled as he got up and he prepared to use his Ultimate Psycho Crusher, but the three heroes leapt back before he could blast them.

Marth then leapt forward again, but Bison saw him coming and prepared for him, only to be slashed from behind by Roy, making him stagger toward Marth, who then slashed him on the chest.

And with Bison on the ropes, Ryu finished their assault with a Shoryuken.

"Is this the power you were seeking?" Ryu asked as Bison skidded back in defeat.

-Meanwhile-

Pit fired his light bow at Kazuya, who leapt out of the way, but was then met by Jin's kick, straight in the chest, which hurt Kazuya.

But ignoring the pain, he then slammed his fist into Jin's jaw, uppercutting Jin and making him crash to the ground.

With Jin down, Kazuya was about to grab Jin's chest and finish him off, but Pit intervened as he used his blades to strike Kazuya from behind, knocking him down, where the brunette then saw a portal before the computers.

{Pit! Rosalina has opened the portal to allow Jin and Kazuya to return to their world! Tell Jin so they can settle their battle back home!} Palutena told him.

Pit nodded in reply, before he turned to Jin, who glared at Kazuya.

"Jin! You saw that portal? That would take you back to your own world! You can settle things with your father without our help!" Pit called out.

"I see... I guess I owe you one." Jin said, bowing in respect to Pit, before he faced Kazuya. "Kazuya, let's settle things back home!" He then suggested, before he charged, tackling his father and Kazuya straight into the portal, making Kazuya scream. "Impossible!"

With the Tekken trio out of the way, Pit turned to see how his friends were doing and saw Bison rising.

Cackling, he then stated. "We are not done!"

However, Ryu frowned as he powered up his Hadoken, powered by the Power of Nothingness and unleashed all its might upon Bison.

Everyone just stood as Bison's skin cracked with blue cracks.

As the Power of Nothingness was able to destroy evil, Bison knew his end had come, but he laughed as he accepted his fate.

With Bison defeated and destroyed, Ryu turned to his allies and told them. "I don't know how you guys get here but you certainly helped me out. But get out of here. This base will crumble."

"Thanks. That is our cue to leave anyway. Take care, Ryu." Pit said in reply as he, Marth and Roy nodded and disappeared, heading back to the time nest, which made Ryu smile and nod.

"Thank you." He said, before turning around, smiling again to see Chun Li and Guile approaching him.

-With Samus-

Despite her strength, speed, intelligence and the strength she had in terms of numbers, Samus was having a hard time keeping up with Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo, while Goku, Cromwell, Bugface, TerraFox, Derukui, Steph, Catlin, Killerprod1, Kasuto, Maximus, Chandler, Steph, David and Ryoko all defended her.

Just as Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo were about to fight again, a voice questioned. "Bowser! So you were behind all of this!?"

"That's enough, Mewtwo!"

"You won't get away, Ganondorf!"

Turning, the villains all saw Mario, Link and Pikachu had arrived, annoying them, before Mewtwo crossed his arms and scoffed. "Hmph. So Cortex, Ripto and even Kazuya couldn't close the deal?"

"You lot are a lucky bunch, but we'll be back." Ganondorf laughed, before using his darkness to teleport him, Bowser and Mewtwo away.

Seeing them retreating, Samus quickly called out in a commanding tone. "Goku! David! Bugface! Chandler! Cromwell! Quick! After them!"

"Right!" Goku said as he and his Mii Team chased after the vile three, following the traces of evil.

But as many of the Mii heroes left, Samus then clutched her arm, causing the other Miis to rush to her aid.

Concerned, Derukui asked. "Samus, are you alright?"

"I have been through worse. Don't worry, I'll be fine..." Samus moaned in reply.

And while Samus was tough, Mario then said. "We need to take her back for proper treatment."

Agreeing with him, Link stopped when he caught a glimpse of the Masked Hylian and the Masked Fox characters who just stood there with their arms crossed before both teleported away, making Link wonder. "Who was that...? Was that...? No... it can't be..."

-Time Nest-

"Excellent work, Pit!" Palutena smiled as Marth, Roy and Pit returned.

"And you two, Marth and Roy. Surviving a fight with M. Bison is enough of a feat of their own." She added.

"You all did well." Shulk said, before admitting. "Still, I was shocked when Kazuya Mishima showed up."

"Right. To think the Smash Breakers would gain some powerful allies from different worlds outside Nintendo." Future Rosalina said.

"While we were tied up, they must have recruited who was free." Samus theorized as she came up, limping and gaining support from Link as they, Mario, the Miis and Pikachu returned.

"Nice work from you guys as well." Shulk then commented.

However, noticing there were several characters missing, Future Rosalina had to ask. "Wait... where's Goku, David, Bugface, Chandler and Cromwell?"

"They went after Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo" Kasuto told her in reply.

"They gained more power than before, and I don't think you three are ready to fight them yet." Samus said to Mario, Link and Pikachu, before telling her allies in a confident tone. "But one day you will. So be prepared."

While the heroes were in agreement, Krystal noticed a look of thought on Link's face, making her ask. "Link, what's wrong?"

"I saw a masked duo, but one looked like Fox." Link said, only to add. "And another who looked almost like me."

"What? Are you serious?" Krystal asked in worry, worried if that was Fox who was wearing the mask.

"A masked duo? I wonder who they are?" Asked Zelda, sounding just as concerned.

-A while later-

Pikachu was alone, looking around the Time Nest, but came to a halt when a certain scroll got his attention.

'Super Smash Bros Melee.'

Pikachu looked down at it, looked concerned as he take the scroll out, opened it and looked into the screen to see...

A dark and familiar scene from his past.

A/N: Next is a dark scene from my views on the Melee tournament. Stayed tuned.
