Author's notes: Hello there! Well, this is the last chapter, the epilogues. On an other note, this is also where the legit 'crossover aspect begins. Honestly, it would be more appropriate to call this entire beginning series the prelude to the actual storytelling, considering a lack of well...story. But, thanks for going this far. Enjoy!

Epilogue #1

Peach walked slowly down her castle corridors, searching for Mario and Luigi. It had been two weeks since they had returned home to the Mushroom Kingdom from the Tournament.

The first thing they had done was to go to the house/laboratory of the Kingdom professor and scientist, Professor Elvin E. Gadd. Originally, he had said that the technology for all three was unlike anything he had ever seen…but an idea from Mario and Peach solved that issue. They had managed to reverse engineer the receiver on Zero's arm, hook it to a screen, and managed to contact the person Zero had previously spoken to during their first encounter, Dr. Ciel.

The initial 'first contact' was dwarfed by the fact they realized their contact was apparently far removed from the traditional international phone call, but, eventually, they began to get used to the idea of other worlds out there. Peach, of course, completely understood, and all of this made sense to her, but Proffessor Gadd became the happiest man within the Kingdom gates, being able to work with technology from another area far beyond his own.

Of course, Peach had been surprised to see that the supposed scientist was actually a little girl. But she was happy to see that, after Ciel's initial hysteria and worry about Zero and the elves, she and Proffessor Gadd hit it off in an attempt to fix all three. She, Mario, and Luigi, could only watch in amazement as the two quickly drafted the blueprints for a reploid and cyber elf hibernation chamber, in which they could be healed and kept safe. In the next few days, Ciel was already supervising E. Gadd's building of both devices, offering helpful bits of information to keep the process moving. In the next week, both devices had been completed, and were operating at full capacity, one housing Zero, and the other housing the two elves.

"Neither I, nor Miss Ciel can predict when they will be fully healed." Gadd had said, "But rest assured, princess, they'll be fine."

Peach had smiled in relief, and while she had turned away, Ciel (on screen) had bashfully thanked her.

"Umm…..thank you so much for all your help…." said Ciel. She was blonde, and had a strange pink and white helmet on the back of her head, along with shining blue eyes. She wore a pink dress, along with short heels. She raised her head and had went on.

"Will you please thank Mr. Mario and Mr. Luigi for me as well? Proffessor Gadd and I are already working on the blueprints for a transporter that can safely bring Zero back to us….maybe I can thank you all in person then!"

She had finished with a smile.

Peach nodded and had said, "Of course! We'd be honored."

Ciel seemed to relax and breathed deeply, as Peach had left.

As Peach remembered this, she still searched for Mario and Luigi. She hadn't heard from any of the other fighters, but she was positive that she would see them again. She knew what they were all definitely connected, as things like the tournament are never coincidence.

She turned a corner to see Mario and Luigi, training in the great Ballroom. For a moment, she smiled, but then remembered why she had to find them. She had forgotten to tell them something important, something Tendo had given her much earlier in the tournament. "Mario! Luigi!" Mario and Luigi stopped and turned to Peach. "I have something that I think you both should see…."

Epilogue #2

Far, far away, a ship flew through the astral beauty of a seemingly endless space. In it, there were three figures, two of them were animals, seemingly chipmunks in appearance.

"I can't locate this 'New world' you said the ship picked up!" cried one, with a black nose.

"Me neither!" shouted the other, and this one had a red nose.

A few feet away, sat a boy with spiky brown hair, wearing strange clothes.

"Are you sure the ship picked up something, Sora?" asked both of them simultaneously.

"I'm positive! Chip, Dale, the Gummi ship hasn't failed to pick up a world yet! You should know that…" the boy, Sora, said with a laugh.

The chipmunks pouted, and said, "But…", but neither of them didn't have a retort for that comment.

Sora laughed, but then pondered, "Maybe I should have brought Donald and Goofy….I thought this was just gonna be a little mission to somewhere we've already seen." He thought that he would've been finished by now, and back on Destiny Islands with his friends, but that seemingly wasn't the case.

Then Chip shouted, "Sora! We've found something!"

Sora snapped out of it, and got up.

"What happened?"

"I think we've found your mystery world!" said Dale.

Sora got up, and looked out the window….and sure enough, a small world in the distance was slowly coming into view.

"Wow…" said Sora, as seeing a world from a distance never ceased to amaze him. While he was looking, the chipmunks were looking over some files, whispering.

"Ummmm… Sora. We have something you should see." said one. Sora turned questioningly.

"These charts have recorded every world we've visited within the gummi ship."

Sora nodded and took them. "But what we're seeing….it's new!"

"What?" asked Sora, clearly not understanding.

"We can't explain it….." started Dale.

"But basically, this world wasn't here before!" finished Chip.

"Wait…..what does that mean?" asked Sora, in trepidation.

"We don't-" Suddenly, the ship's lights started flashing red, and the gummi ship began to shake. Sora fell to his knees, and both chipmunks were shaken from the controls due to the violent turbulence.

'W-What's happening?!" shouted Sora.

"W-we've somehow lost control!" cried Dale. The ship began to shake even more violently, and suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and one ships of the ships' engines sputtered out.

"What was that?!" cried Dale.

"Hold on!" shouted Sora as the ship began to spiral out of control, careening into the darkness of the void.

To be continued….
