Bowser and his son escorted the hostages toward the nearest exit.
"Just as I thought. Malice is covering the entire ship," stated Zelda. "Now we must let Link know when to fire the bow when it's in his possession." Palutena, using telekinesis, sent a psychic thought down to Pit telling him what to tell Link whenever he may return.
"Message sent," she said.
"Good. Now... we wait," replied Zelda with a sigh.
Calamity Ganon then felt enraged and fired malice all over the planet, hitting every universe. This wasn't turning out well.

Link stood in front of Hyrule Castle. Staring in silence at the red mist swarming around the castle.
"We're not going to accomplish anything just standing here. Come on!" asserted Cloud, walking into the castle town. Link walked in front, since he knew the way around the castle obviously.
Suddenly, the two warriors heard screaming coming from the sanctum, the top of the castle. They exchanged glances and started running faster toward the peak.
They made it to the balcony and looked inside. There, was a horrifying being of smoke holding two characters. Ness and Lucas. They didn't seem to be moving.
"From what those two boys have mentioned to me... the only way to defeat that monstrosity is to overwhelm it with positivity," muttered Cloud, trembling in fear. "We need a highly thought out plan," suggested Cloud. Suddenly Link dashed on into the sanctum and screaming and pulling out his Master Sword and Hylia Shield.
"Or we could just run in there crazy and thoughtless, that works too," Cloud sassed as he ran inside. Giygas snarled and hissed and he saw the two sword-wielders. Lucas and Ness were completely white. Drained of their energy. The sinister being emitted a shockwave, hurdling toward them. Link protected himself with the shield, and Cloud dodged it.
Zelda's room was located just below the sanctum. Giygas had to be defeated first, or indeed hell would be unleashed. Link fired a beam from his sword, hitting the mist in the center.
"Remember what I said! He can only be defeated by positivity!" yelled Cloud.
Suddenly, Charizard stormed in, carrying Jigglypuff on his back. He let lose a firey hurricane of flamethrower, hitting Giygas everywhere.
"Careful you flying lizard! You'll burn Ness and Lucas!" scolded Cloud. Jigglypuff's cuteness overwhelmed Giygas, destroying him. She smiled and just stayed herself. Giygas couldn't contain himself, he slowly exploded and faded away. Leaving his trophy.
Lucas and Ness lie on the floor, motionless. The characters all walked over to them and watched. Link pulled out a fairy from his inventory, and it healed them both. They both awoken. They exchanged glances and looked up at the others.
"Glad you're ok," sighed Cloud, out of breath.
Link hurried and ran to Zelda's room. He looked all over, and saw... there above the mantle, the Bow of Light. It was cold, but felt perfect in his hands. It also came with unlimited light arrows, so that was great. He gathered the others and scurried back to the arena.

Dr. Mario and Wii Fit Trainer tended to Pit's injuries. They were slightly minor, only a few scrapes and lacerations.
"It was foolish of me to fly up there without being aware of my surroundings," he scolded himself.
"No. It was our fault for not giving you all the details," replied Shulk.
Finally, the Arwings landed. Samus, Donkey and Diddy Kong, Fox, Falco, Rosalina and Luma, Bayonetta and Kirby exited from it.
"Where's the other characters?" questioned Sonic.
"You really think we could fit fifteen more characters in that spacecraft? No. They should come in their own time. Pretty sure there's not one person on this planet that hasn't heard what's going on," snapped Bayonetta as she walked toward Mario.
Mario was standing next to his brother, Luigi. Consoling each other.
"Have you figured out what's gonna happen?" asked Bayonetta. Mario shook his head.
"I recieved a thought from Lady Palutena saying that we should wait until Link returns with the Bow of Light, and then princess Zelda will reveal Calamity Ganon's weak points. And that's when we fire the arrows," explained Pit.
Everything was beginning to make sense. Finally.

Olimar was directing his horde of pikmin toward a pink pellet. He threw his winged pikmin on it and they immediately began attacking. It fell to the ground and they carried it back to the onion. The little flying pikmin made happy, cheery noises, proud of themselves that they successfully carried a task.
Suddenly a giant Bulborb came out of the bushes, and started attacking the onion. That can't happen. If the onion gets destroyed, no more of that pikmin can reproduce. Olimar began throwing red pikmin, the strongest fighters, at the creature. The beat their heads against the Bulborb.
3 pikmin tragically passed in the fight, but the Bulborb was defeated. That's never happened before, an ememy attacking the onion. That made Olimar think that something was amiss in the Smash Arena. He gathered his best pikmin, boarded the rocket and flew to the arena.

Little did the brawlers back in the Smash Arena know, that Rayquaza and Darkrai were quickly heading toward them, ready to fulfill their true purpose...
