Well, this is it, guys! Sorry for the slow update too, just got into a relationship myself.
Roy: Wow, this story sure has come a ways. And stop bragging
Marth: Indeed, that is has.
Link: Shall we reply to the reviews?
Indeed you shall.
Link: Alright. Twilight BladerJulz, the authoress would like to tell you thank you and that she's going to be checking out your story very soon...!
Roy: And she would also like to tell RoyalFanatic she'll keep working on her battle scenes and she wishes you luck in yours! And thanks for the review!
Marth: As for Royal Kenya, she asks to please not harpoon her, for the minisequal will explain everything! And that this epilogue will give a not-so-surprising twist at the end? For the author loves true love and all... Oh, and Link complains, but I think that might be irrelevent!
Fox: The authoress does not own anything except her OC's and Desert, and doesn't care if others use the Desert idea, just cause its spiffy and just another part of fanfiction.
Marth: Farewell everyone, and may you all enjoy this last chapter of All For One, One For All: Return!
Roy: Bye!
Link: So long!
Young Link: Onward!
Epilogue
Doctor Mario, Mario, and Peach returned to the Mushroom Kingdom after saying many painful good-byes to their fellow smashers. Peach passed on her job as princess to her fellow princess, Daisy. But Daisy too, passed on the leadership to another, as she too was devastated by the loss of Luigi. Doctor Mario and Mario went to Yoshi's Island during this time and told the King of Yoshies of Yoshi's death. Yoshi became a hero on the Island, and to this day, even the younger Yoshi's are in awe of the dinosaur. Upon returning to the mainland, Mario and Peach, along with Peach's three most loyal toads, Toadsworth, Toad, and Toadette, left to travel the Kingdom. Doctor Mario opened a clinic, treating Koopas, Goombas, Toads, Yoshis, and humans alike. Daisy, after much contemplating, became a nurse under Doctor Mario. Not a day passed that any of them didn't think of Yoshi, Luigi, Bowser, or the other Smashers.
Fox and Falco returned to the Great Fox after their dismissal. Fox and Krystal then left the team temporarily to begin a family while Katt and Falco flew throughout the galaxy in two new Arwings. Eventually, the four plus the rest of the StarFox team were reunited in Corneria, where they talked of old adventures, both against Andross and their adventures in being Smashers. Fox and Krystal had a son they named Kit, who, like his father before him, became a famous pilot. Unfortunately, all was not well for the entire team, for one year after their reunion, Katt was lost as her Arwing was crushed between two asteroids. Falco, devastated by his loss, became hard and withdrawn to all other than his closest friends. He became Kit's personal Arwing mentor, only after Falco grew to trust his own Arwing again. Not a night goes by he does not think of Katt, or the four he lost in battle under his command during the One-Day war.
Young Link returned to Hyrule, returning the Master Sword to its resting place in the Temple of Time. After a short break from life, hiding out in the Lost Woods, he then went in search of his other lost friends, and found them still safe at the sea with Ruto. The friends of Link, Young Link, and Zelda were all deeply devastated by the loss of Princess Zelda and the Hero of Time, Link. Only after they recovered did Saria try to rename Young Link 'Link,' but the younger look-a-like grew angry and left. The last time he was seen, he entered the Gerudo Desert in hopes of finding Ganondorf, his last thread that connected him to the Smashers from Hyrule, riding upon the strong back of Epona.
Popo and Nana tried to follow Young Link, but he left too fast. They then sadly returned to Icicle Mountain, where for a while, they continued their adventures in collecting eggplants and avoiding the giant Condor. Eventually, they returned to the Smash Mansion to make permanent residence there. It became common to see Nana tending to the graves everyday to make sure they were kept neat. Popo meanwhile fixed the old fountain that had not worked in many a year. To this day, they remain a lonely pair of twins, without even Crazy Hand to keep them company. Nana still wishes to see Young Link once more.
Captain Falcon returned to the racetrack, but found that it did not hold the joys it used to hold. He faked his death for the heck of it and then retired to Onett, where he joined the local police force. Ness and Lucas, who recently moved to Onett, were still archrivals, and were commonly seen duking it out, psychic style. Captain Falcon caught them at it once, but due to the fact that he was trying to catch two psychics, he almost let them go. But knowing how to deal with at least Ness, he caught them, and then let them go as they promised not to fight anymore. As if. It became common to see the Legendary Captain Falcon chasing two young boys from house top to house top. Eventually, it became a game between the three. It was through this that Lucas and Ness became good friends instead of bitter rivals.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong returned to the Kong residence, only to find it had been blown up by Cranky Kong as he continued to make the banana bombs. Dixie and Wrinkly Kong were found to be throwing a fit at Cranky Kong while the rest of the Kong family were trying to put their home back together. With the help of Donkey and Diddy Kong, the house was fixed and put into good order. Donkey Kong celebrated a new home by sharing his bananas with his family and friends of the jungle. But there seemed to be something lacking in his eyes. He eventually overcame Yoshi's death and became the cheerful gorilla he once was.
Red and his poke'mon returned to Kanto, where Red continued his quest to become the greatest Poke'mon Master ever. Eventually, he succeeded in his quest, adding three other poke'mon to his ranks; a Pikachu, an Espeon, and a Snorlax as well as his Charizard, his Ivysaur (now a Venusaur) and his Squirtle (now a Blastoise). He made daily trips to Silver Mountain in Johto to study the strange, ghost like poke'mon that appeared there in the late hours of the night. He still lives at home with his mother, however, and his famous poke'mon are reduced to mere house workers (not that they minded, for his mother made the best poke'mon food in all of Kanto and Johto). He always wonders what happened to the two surviving talking poke'mon he had met during his short service under the Smashers.
Jigglypuff and Kirby traveled to Dreamland where they settled down and made a family. It became common in later years to see tiny pink puffs floating around, waiting for their parents to come retrieve them from the air. Later, Kirby ran into MetaKnight as well, whose first question was if Kirby knew the whereabouts of his ship, the Halberd. Kirby took MetaKnight back to his home, where he told MetaKnight about the fight. Jigglypuff filled in other parts that Kirby forgot. They talked late into the day. That was the last time the two puffs mentioned the battle for many years.
Zero-Samus disappeared quickly after the dismissal. No one heard head or blaster about her for nearly a decade before she abruptly returned to the Nintendo Galaxy. She claims to have traveled to an alternate universe, where the smashers who had made it were gone, leaving only those who were missing or dead in their own universe. She also claimed that the man, Demetri, enslaved the entire universe. She helped them gain their freedom before returning. She disappeared shortly later after going to check out what appeared to be a 'rip in space.' Many say this led to a black hole or even back to where she had come from.
Samus, still devastated by the loss of Marth, did not speak for a long time. She stayed with Roy, Katan, Pichu, and Ike while they awaited their turn to be taken home. She abruptly announced that she was pregnant with Marth's only child. Though Katan began doting on the Bounty Hunter, Samus left them. She took her ship and returned to Desert, where she was welcomed with open arms by Home's inhabitants. She reported the battle to Nix, though with more cold in her voice than Nix had ever heard from the once happy woman. She told Izu of Team Four's fight with his father, and Izu became outraged once again. He and Amina disappeared into the desert shortly later and never returned.
It was shortly after Izu's departure that Xennen reappeared. Though Samus could not understand him, she could at least tell he wished to take her away. She and Xennen disappeared within an hour. The people of Desert never saw Samus again, as Nix reported to Master Hand when the giant hand visited Desert after hearing of the strange occurrence of rebirth that took place on this world. Her ship was left for her incase of her return. Rumor told that she found Oasis thanks to Xennen, and Marth as well. When Ness was asked to feel for the bounty huntress, he found only love and joy, and no more pain.
Pit found himself back in the Heavens with his Goddess, Palutena. While he never grew bored of her company, she only came when she was most needed, leaving Pit feeling lonely. He began to travel the worlds, visiting old smashers, meeting new people, yet always within reach of his beloved goddess. After his death nearly a century later, many say he became a God himself, with magnificent wings of the softest down and a kind heart for all who looked to him for answers. Yet for now, he enjoyed being a young angel. Of the Smashers he visited, he visited Ike, Roy, Katan, and Pichu the most. He and Pichu became very fast friends.
Ike traveled with Roy and Katan for a long time, before parting ways with them to return to his home continent of Tellius. He returned to the Greil Mercenaries, named after his dead father, and continued his service to the Princess of Crimea. Of the smashers, he was probably the least affected by the battle. However, he still held the Super Smash Bros in the highest honor, and pledged that he would not hesitate to lead his mercenaries into battle to help them, though he himself was considered a Super Smash Bro.
Before he had released Katan, Doctor Mario told her she may never be able to walk again, let alone use a sword thanks to the damage to her arm and legs. Master Hand brought the Fire Emblemers and Pichu back to their world, where Rath just so happened to be exercising his old nomad horse. He recognized the need for a horse, and brought them back to his nomad group, where Roy re-met Sue and Lyn. Lyn and Katan became fast friends, with their love of swords foremost in their conversations. When Katan told Lyn of her predicament, Lyn offered to return to Lycia to help her retrain her body. Rath saw them off as far as the Sacaen border. By the time the six, consisting of Roy, Katan, Pichu, Lyn, Sue, and Ike reached Ostia, Ike decided to say his good byes. Roy gave him the directions to Badon, where he was told to ask for Dart, adopted son of the late Captain Fargus. With his pledge fresh on his tongue, Ike parted ways with his friends.
Roy's childhood friend Lillina was overjoyed to see Sue and Roy as they entered the Ostian Keep. Much to Roy's amazement, his father too, was in Ostia.
"Roy!" Eliwood called. Roy had just helped Katan off of her horse, and steadied her on the crutches she had been given. On her saddle was the blade Falchion, which Samus had asked her to keep until they one day were reunited. "And you must be Katan."
"Father! Yes, this is Katan. Katan, this is my father, Eliwood, Marquess of Pherae." Roy introduced them. "And my old friend, daughter of the Marquess of Ostia, Lillina."
"Hello!" Lillina greeted Katan.
"Hello."
Pichu hopped off of Katan's saddle onto her shoulder, peering wide-eyed as a large man with brighter blue hair to match Lillina's own blue hair appeared. Lillina blinked, wide-eyed at Pichu.
"Lord Hector." Roy greeted. Hector grinned.
"Got yourself beat up I see, boy." Hector joked. Roy coughed, giving Hector a look that said to 'not ask.'
Eliwood saw this look and noticing Marth's sword, realized at least one reason not to ask. He could tell that the Altean Prince was no longer among them, and was sad to see it had to be so.
Lyn and Sue stood to the side, waiting for introductions to finish. Eliwood and Hector noticed the Sacaen woman, and soon Hector had Lyn in his arms in a bear hug, Eliwood began asking Lyn where she had disappeared to this time, a hearty smile set upon his elderly face.
Two days passed before the groups went their separate ways; Hector and Lillina staying in Ostia, while Eliwood, Lyn, Sue, Roy, Katan, and Pichu journeying to their final stop, Pherae.
Pichu had taken to the old Pheraen Marquess, and sat on his shoulder, talking rapidly to the older man about outrageous stories, and Eliwood would laugh on occasion, leaving Katan and Roy to their own thoughts. Lyn and Sue had ridden ahead, but soon came back and joined in watching the tiny poke'mon's antics.
"We're almost there, and you'll get to see the keep." Roy was glad to be home; last time he had been here, he had a gloomy Marth in tow, and Nils was given the task to drag them out to the Dread Isle.
Katan smiled, patting her hand gently on the splint her right leg was wrapped in. "I never thought I'd end up living in this place." She spoke. "I thought of traveling the world, once Luan was forced back to the Dragon Realm. We even managed to make it to a continent named Magvel at one point, where there were creatures that resembled dragons, but it was in the middle of a war, so we didn't stay long."
"Here we are!" the two heard Eliwood exclaim. The group rounded a bend, and soon a large keep came into view. Mountains surrounded it to the north, while plains ran the rest of the way to the ocean. They had passed a village a short while before, where Eliwood and Lyn had heartily greeted the two village magistrates, Rebecca and Wil, while Roy greeted their son and one of his best old friends, Wolt.
The gates of the keep were open, and a lone horseman rode out upon sighting the group. Two rode on the horse's back, and as they approached, Eliwood slowed his own steed to a slow walk.
The horse drew up, and the taller of the two bowed his head to Eliwood. "M'lord."
"Well, well!" sitting in front of the taller man was none other than Nils.
"Lord Nils!" Katan cried out in joy, nearly jumping from her horse's back in joy.
"Well met Marcus, Nils." Eliwood greeted. Nils merely smiled.
Dinner was laid out in honor of the return of Katan and Roy, and in the memory of Marth. Katan and Nils caught up with one another, and soon Lyn joined them. Roy sat at Katan's side, and then, Roy and Katan announced their plans. They would marry, and Katan would begin her rehabilitation. But before anything else happened, Katan wished to take one last trip to the lands of her childhood. Roy also announced they planned to make a trip to Altea, to tell of the death of their ex-prince, Marth Lowell. Nils then stood, and called out.
"I have someone, that I think you two would be most interested in meeting." Nils looked at Katan and Roy, who looked back in confusion. A door opened, and a short figure entered, his black and white hair bouncing as he stepped into the light, his blue eyes sparkling with nervous happiness.
"Luan!" Katan cried out.
"Hello Katan." It was truly Luan this time. "Listen, I'm really sorry ab-"
"Don't worry, brother, come and forget what happened." Roy spoke this time. Pichu squeaked in agreement from his perch on the table between Roy and Katan. Luan's face split with a smile of joy. There was no hint of the anger or jealousy he had been harboring in the last few weeks that the smashers had been together, carefree as they could have been.
As Katan and Roy retired for the night, Roy had to carry her to his room, the stairs hard to negotiate on crutches. He laid her down before sitting next to her. Pichu had been left in Sue's care for the night, leaving the two alone.
"All for one, one for all." Katan spoke abruptly. Roy blinked.
"What?"
"All for one, one for all. Wouldn't that make a good motto for the Smashers?" she scratched at her arm for a moment. "We're always here for each other, maybe sometimes less than other times, but still…"
"Yes… You're right." Roy spoke. Roy thought back to before the battle, when the smashers had been united. "I wonder what happened to Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Bowser?"
"Who knows." Katan spoke softly. "We should look for them. When we're better… Just us and…" She grew quiet, knowing that their usual group of friends was gone.
"All for one, one for all." Roy repeated. "All for one, one for all…"
"What a strange story, Papa!" A tiny girl stared up in admiration as at last, the long story ended. She had tiny golden locks of hair, pulled back into twin pigtails while her eyes were a deep navy blue. She sat on a soft, comfortable cot, a single blanket pulled about her tiny, fragile body.
Across the room, an older daughter sat. She had a light shade of blue hair with several golden streaks, her eyes a sharp emerald green. She was pretending to read an old book, but in reality, she had been listening to the story. Her father told the story throughout her young life, and for some reason, she never bored of it.
"Dear, let the child sleep." An older woman entered the room. Like the small child, she had brilliant golden locks of hair. Like her older daughter, she had emerald eyes. A gentle, loving smile was set gently upon her fair face.
"Its okay, Mama, I was just about to go to sleep." The small child laid down and pretended to go to sleep. "See? I'm sleeping!"
"Now now, dearest, you need to go to sleep." The lady crossed the room, bowing to kiss her young daughter's forehead. She turned to her husband, a serious, yet worried look on her face.
"We need to talk, dear." She stated simply. The older daughter looked up, looking from mother to father, imagining that some strange tension had built just then. But her father did not look in the least bit worried.
"Alright." The man bent, his navy locks dangling teasingly upon the tiny child's face. "Sleep, princess, and I shall teach you to ride tomorrow."
The child giggled, a yawn causing a pause. "Alright Papa. Good night. Good night Mama, good night sister."
"Good night, Kitty." The sister stood, putting a feather in between the page she had been on for the past several hours. She left the room, headed for the outdoors where she had set up her cot for the hot summer months.
The man and woman left, heading for the kitchen. Before they entered the kitchen, however, the man caught the woman's wrist, and pulling her close, teased her face with a butterfly kiss. The woman smiled, pulling him into the kitchen. Parting, the man closed the door before sitting on a padded stool.
"What's the matter? Did Cain and Abel get loose again?" the man asked, looking towards the door that led outside.
"No. Its this." The woman pulled out a strange device. It looked like a small box made out of a shiny plastic. It had a screen, and across the screen, that had lit up, was a date and a message.
"Reunion?" the man blinked. "No way! I didn't think they'd finally-"
"Do you want to go?" the woman asked. "You know it would be hard for Kitty. I don't know if Marie would want to go either, she's not a social thing."
The man smiled. "Of course we should go! Its been what, almost sixteen years since we've seen anyone outside of the Community."
"I would like to see the others again." The woman smiled. "We have a day to respond, or I do anyways. After that, we have a week to arrive."
"Perfect. I'll go talk to Marie." The man's smile grew so wide, the woman half expected his head to be halved. "After all, what would the Super Smash Bros Reunion be without Samus the Bounty Hunter and Marth the Ex-Prince of Altea?"
Pit: Read
Pichu: And
Ike: Review!
Pit: Bye! Hope you enjoyed it!
