Welcome back! I've been getting some good reviews on my first chapter, and I'm glad you guys like it so far.
Oh, I know that Link's not an elf. I just made Bayonetta assume in a mean way that he's an elf because of his ears and clothing and also due to not being familiar with the Zelda Universe... yet.
Did I mention she can be mean?XD
As for the lego part, my view of the Smash Universe has an all-around modern setting that has toys like us. Like you said, fighters and newcomers that were not from modern universes did not know modern toys like Lego at the start. Eventually, they came to become familiar with it overtime just from commercials or seeing kids play it.
Anyways, enough with the background. As you may have noticed in the last chapter when Bayonetta and Lucina entered the bar, I put in the name of the soundtrack just for you guys to look it up and listen while you're reading the part. I actually got inspired from AuraChannelerChris when he did it in his story. On topic, feel free to look up the snazzy soundtracks I may put in the future chapters.
With that out of the way, enjoy your reading. And please leave reviews or favorites if you enjoyed this story.

Chapter 2: I'll Keep On Dancing!
"Welcome to MY fantasy zone," Bayonetta smirked. "Get ready."
"BEGIN SYSTEMATIC TRANSPORTATION. SENDING FIGHTERS TO PORT TOWN AERO DIVE. PLEASE STAND BY."
The whole platform the fighters stood on began to glow bright. The monitor screen on the stadium showed a view of Captain Falcon's native town which turned out to be an image of a futuristic setting with large flying ships with a a twilight sky. A racing course was seen in the center of the floating ships and buildings.
"So... that's where we're fighting..." Kamui commented to herself, amazed by a fighter's world alone. "The technology and area is very different from mine..."
All the fighters began to dissolve into particles before they were teleported to the fighting stage.
.
.
{Port Town Aero Dive}
All fighters appeared on the floating platform in their thematic intros.
"So, any tips for this stage?" Bayonetta asked the Exalt Princess as she admired the view around her. "I'm not very familiar around here."
"Yeah... don't fall off the platforms," Lucina told her. "And since we're gonna land on the race course from time to time, make sure you don't get run over."
"Good enough."
Bayonetta - "After Burner (∞ Climax Mix)"
ARE YOU READY?
3... 2... 1... GO!
Bayonetta and Samus dashed towards each other as soon as the match started. The Robins backed Samus up with their thunder attacks. Bayonetta dodged their projectiles easily, but had to shield herself from the blond fighter's rocket boots. Robin fired a few of his electric projectiles at Lucina and Kamui, but they were able to jump over them. Of course, the moment both Corrins landed, Reflet fired Elthunder at them. Kamui gasped it was heading for her, and she didn't have enough time to react and shield. She screamed as it knocked her to the middle of the stage.
Samus took the chance and was about to do a Flip Jump on her when Bayonetta interfered between them and activated Witch Time as soon as she got close enough. The blond female gritted her teeth as she moving slowly. The Umbra Witch smirked as she summoned Madama Butterfly to punch her towards Lucina. The Ylisse female got her sword ready to use her Shield Breaker.
Unfortunately, the Witch Time effect wore off her sword could land a hit on her, and Samus jumped out of the way just before the strike. She landed just in a fair distance between Lucina and Bayonetta. The raven-haired witch charged at her again and threw punches, which the bounty hunter barely dodged and threw her own punches and kicks.
"You're not bad," Samus commented as she barely blocked the raven-haired fighter's attacks. "Pretty tough, I'll give you that."
"Not bad? I dazzle my audience with more than just those moves, honey." Bayonetta held up her pistols and began firing at the Bounty Hunter.
The female veteran jumped out of the bullets and held out her leg to land down and kick the raven-haired witch.
Bayonetta gave a smirk. As soon as Samus got close enough to the newcomer, the newcomer activated Witch Time and slowed down the blond fighter's speed and movement.
Samus bit her lip as she tried to evade the Umbra Witch. However, Bayonetta already charged her attack before using her After Burner kick to launch Samus into the air. She wasn't done yet; the Umbra Witch jumped and threw a small combo of kicks and punches at her opponent all the way to where the Robins were.
Both tacticians looked at their senior fighter with concerned and worried looks.
The blond fighter brushed them way, letting them know she was okay.
"Watch out for her combos and Witch Time," she warned them, looking at the raven-haired woman smiling at them. "Go for the grabs and make sure you give some ranged attacks while also going in for a physical one to confuse her."
"Got it," both of them replied at the same time.
Meanwhile, Lucina rushed to Kamui's aid.
"Are you alright?" the Exalt Princess asked, worried.
"I'm fine," Kamui reassured her, standing back up without a flinch. "I won't let that happen again."
"They got more than just thunder attacks, so watch out," Lucina warned the white-haired girl. "Stay close to me for now."
"Right..."
With that, Lucina and Kamui charged at the 3 again.
However, as soon as they started running, the stage platform landed on the race track. There was a hologram sign that was giving off a warning siren.
Lucina was the first to react.
"Jump!"
All the 3 fighters jumped over the racing course and ran to the side of the course as the futuristic machines starting appearing.
Kamui turned to see the opposing team coming towards them. She noticed that 3 fighters were coming towards them. She looked back at Bayonetta, and then at the racing machines. It was then she came up with an idea.
"Bayonetta, can you hold them down with your bullets?" Kamui asked the Umbra Witch.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but I can't wait to find out," Bayonetta replied with a smirk as she aimed her guns at her opponents and used "Bullet Climax" to launch several bullets at them.
Samus and Reflet were fast enough to react and go higher above the attacks. However, Robin wasn't so fortunate. The bullets had him stay in the air, even pushing him back and also causing him to fall down towards the racing road.
One racing machine suddenly hit him hard.
"AGHH...!"
"Robin?"
Reflet turned to see what happened to Robin...
Only for Kamui to paralyze her with her "Dragon Fang Shot" and knock her into the course do to being within the dragon newcomer's attack range.
The white-haired tacticians received more damage while being knocked all the way back to the other side again. At that moment, all the racing machines had passed the stage, and there was a warning screen with a siren to notify the fighters that the stage was moving again. As of now, there was no obstacle between the teams.
"Nice," the raven-haired newcomer complimented the dragon fighter. "Now to take care of her."
At the last moment, Bayonetta blocked the blond woman's attack before grabbing her and slamming her down on the ground and using her After Burner kick on her to send her away.
Meanwhile, Robin and Reflet were charging up their projectiles again.
"They're charging up their magic again..." Kamui told the blue-haired princess, looking worried. "What should we do?"
"Stay calm, and approach them without getting hit by any of their projectiles," Lucina told her, trying to reassure the dragon-hybrid fighter. "At this point, we can't let those 2 attack Bayonetta." She continued to think for a few moments before an idea suddenly hit her. "Follow me... I've got an idea." She made a hand gesture behind her back to let the Yato user of her plan. A finger pointed at herself before pointing up, and then a finger at Kamui before showing 2 fingers...
Kamui and Lucina nodded at each before running towards Robin and Reflet.
"Here they come," Robin told Reflet. "Just as expected."
"Get your Fire Tome ready," the female tactician instructed, charging up her Thunder Tome. "We need to hold them in place."
"Right."
As soon as the 2 members of the Blue Team got close enough, Robin threw his fire attack at them.
"Dodge!" Lucina yelled, jumping over the fire.
Kamui did as she was told, jumping over the fire.
Reflet smirked, expecting Lucina to do that.
Arcthunder!" the female tactician yelled, firing an electrical projectile at both of the 2 fighters of the Red Team.
Lucina landed back on the ground, only to get struck by the projectile before being launched back at the other side again with a painful cry.
"Just as expected..." Reflet commented before she was caught off guard. "Huh...?"
The female dragon-hybrid ran towards Robin with much speed.
"Robin, she's coming for you!" the female tactician warned her male counterpart.
"What?"
However, it was too late. Kamui had transformed her hand into a lance-like form and attacked Robin at the very end of the tip. Robin was launched off the stage, but not enough to send him over the boundaries and lose his first stock.
Reflet was about to counter Kamui, but she flinched when she saw something pass her in a blur. The female mage turned to see Lucina running towards the edge. She wondered what she was gonna do before she read the blue-haired fighter's mind. No. She couldn't...!
As Robin was jumping in perfect timing to get back on the stage, he was met by Lucina in the air.
"I don't think so!" Lucina taunted with a serious and determined expression, getting her sword ready.
The Exalt Princess swung her sword at Robin, who was unable to react and dodge in air on time. Her attack sent him far away from the stage again, this time rendering him useless from jumping again. The poor male fighter used Elwind to launch himself closer to the edge of the stage, but didn't make it enough to survive. He fell down way past the boundaries before there was a sound of a masculine painful cry and an explosion.
ROBIN (M): 2
Bayonetta saw the whole thing with an amused smirk as she kept fighting with Samus.
"Well, looks like your teammate lost a stock," the Umbra Witch taunted, sending an After Burner kick towards the Bounty Hunter. "Looks like we have the upper hand here."
"Don't be so sure of yourself," Samus replied, kicking the raven-haired woman out of the way before calling to the female tactician. "Reflet!"
The white-haired woman nodded at Samus as Kamui charged towards her. Reflet dodged her attack and grabbed the dragon fighter before slamming her down and sending her towards Samus with her Levin Sword.
"Aaaagh!" Kamui cried out.
Bayonetta looked up and tried to save her teammate with a jump, but failed to stop Samus in time. The Bounty Hunter reached towards Kamui with a jump before sending the newcomer higher and over the boundaries with her rocket boots.
With a cry, Kamui had lost her first stock.
CORRIN (F): 2
Lucina turned to see Robin and Kamui return to the stage before they started going for each other again.
"Oh, no..." Lucina muttered.
"If you're gonna keep looking away, then you're not worth to be in this match!" Reflet shouted, dashing towards the woman with her bronze sword.
"Ah...!"
The blue-haired princess failed to dodge her attack and was launched in the air.
"Aaagh!"
The Falchion wielder saw the electrical attack heading for her with enough speed. She quickly dodged in time before landing down on the ground. However, she failed to notice Robin throwing a fire attack towards her in where she stood. It left her vulnerable for an attack, which Robin did so with his Levin Sword. One swing from him sent Lucina off the stage and past the boundaries with an explosion and cry.
LUCINA: 2
As soon as Lucina landed on the stage again, Reflet was already dashing towards her.
This time, the Exalt Princess prepared herself and jumped over the female tactician before swinging her sword down, attacking her and sending her in the air. Lucina jumped again and used Dolphin Slash on her, sending the white-haired tactician across the stage.
Meanwhile, Kamui and Robin continued exchanging attacks, from sword attacks to magic and dragon abilities.
Same for Bayonetta and Samus, but with guns and rocket boots.
All fighters were busy dealing with one opponent at a time...
At that moment, the stage was landing down on top of a floating structure. There were several platforms now instead of just the primary one that carried them throughout the area.
And right when all the fighters landed, a Smash Ball appeared, catching all the attention from the fighters.
"The Smash Ball...!" Lucina said to herself.
The Exalt Princess ran towards the infinite item only to have Samus appear and kick her out of the way before attempting to break it herself.
However, she was stopped by Bayonetta.
"And where do you think you're going?" the Umbra Witch asked, smirking. "Are you done with me already?"
The Bounty Hunter bit her lip before she jumped over her.
However, the raven-haired newcomer expected to do that. The moment Samus was exactly above her, she used her "Witch Twist" to send her up in the air. She followed the attack with her "After Burner" kicks before using her "Witch Twist" again, sending the blond veteran fighter higher and over the boundaries. Bayonetta was satisfied to hear the Bounty Hunter's cry and the sound of an explosion.
ZERO SUIT SAMUS: 2
"Ooooh," she cooed with a confident smile, giving a victory pose.
"Bayonetta! Behind you!" Kamui suddenly called.
The Umbra Witch turned to see Robin swinging his Levin Sword at her. With a soft gasp, she transformed into a flock of bats that flew past the male tactician to the other side.
Despite her successful attempt in avoiding his smash attack, the Umbra Witch failed to see Reflet using her smash attack on her from behind.
"Oof!"
The knockback and damage from her Levin Sword sent Bayonetta flying across the stage and past the boundaries.
BAYONETTA: 2
"Somehow... I knew that arrogance of hers would get the best of her..." Lucina muttered, not looking impressed.
Right at the moment with convenience, the Smash Ball floated towards the Exalt Princess.
"Alright..." she said, looking determined.
The blue-haired princess jumped and broke the Smash Ball with her Falchion.
"She got it!" Kamui cheered as she blocked Robin's attack.
Samus was going for her while Robin and Reflet were moving frequently to avoid getting caught in Lucina's Final Smash.
Bayonetta saw her get it as she landed back down on the stage again.
"Well, don't just stand there," she told her impatiently. "Use it already!"
Ignoring the witch's complaining, the Exalt Princess held up her sword up high.
"Time to change fate!"
Lucina dashed towards the Red Team, Reflet in particular.
The female tactician didn't have enough time to dodge, and the blue-haired princess struck her in the spot. Reflet was blasted off the stage's boundaries in a second, resulting the loss of a stock.
ROBIN (F): 2
"All of us have 2 stocks now," Robin reminded Samus. "Looks like our safe strategy isn't working."
"We need to change it up a little," she said, looking at the Umbra Witch. "She's quite tough, I'll give her that..."
Reflet reappeared on the stage again before there was a siren notifying that the platform was going to move and change areas again.
"We need to hold one of them down at a time," the female tactician told them, looking serious. "It's hard to hold Bayonetta and Kamui given that they have projectile attacks, so we're going for Lucina first."
Samus remained silent for a moment before she spoke again.
"I hope this has nothing to do with your fight with Lucina," the Bounty Hunter commented, not looking at the female tactician.
"It doesn't," Reflet replied, glaring at the blond woman. "The reason I said we should go after Lucina is because she doesn't have projectiles and enough range, so I suggest to put that topic at rest." The white-haired female began charging up her magic once again. "I'm not one to let emotions get in the way that easily, unlike her."
"Wait, Reflet..." Robin interrupted, glaring at her. "That's a little too far..."
"I already told you, Robin." The white-haired female looked at her male counterpart with a serious expression. "If she wants to keep fighting with us in her pathetic state she got herself in from a few days earlier, then we'll give her a good fight that'll make her realize that she needs to accept it."
Robin remained silent, but he clenched his grip on his sword.
Samus remained silent as well as she stared at her teammates for a few moments before looking at the Red Team.
"So... Lucina, right?" the blond female asked again. "If we're switching opponents, I'll take care of her if you two can fend off against Kamui and Bayonetta."
"Right," Reflet replied. "We'll hold her off."
Robin remained silent for a moment before he gave a nod.
"... Got it," Robin told them, understanding their new approach.
"Alright, let's go," Samus commanded before running towards the Red Team.
The Ylisse Tacticians followed the Space Bounty Hunter.
Meanwhile, the Blue Team braced themselves as they started charging towards their opponents as well.
"Here they come!" Lucina warned as she was ready to swing her blade. "Watch out for their projectiles!"
"Leave it to me!" Kamui replied, going ahead.
"My... aren't you getting confident," the Umbra Witch commented with an amused smile. "I'll back you up." Bayonetta aimed her guns at the tacticians and started using her Bullet Climax to prevent them from moving and using their magic.
"Thanks, Bayonetta!" the dragon fighter replied as she jumped transformed her arm into a lance-like form and pinned the trapped tacticians. "Take this!" The white-haired newcomer went around them and kicked both of them towards the Umbra Witch. "Now's your chance!"
"Let's rock, baby," the raven-haired woman said as she got on her stance. "Bingo!" A summoning circle appeared behind the Umbra Witch before a demonic arm came out of it and punched the tacticians across the stage. "Nice." She walked casually towards her fallen opponents when she heard fire explosions behind her.
"Gyah!"
The Umbra Witch turned around to see Lucina barely standing on her knees, panting heavily as she tried to defend herself from the bounty hunter's rush attacks. Lucina continued to shield and dodge, but the blond veteran fighter kept grabbing her and attacking her in mid-air.
"Little one!" Bayonetta called out, rushing towards the Ylisse Princess.
"Ahhh!"
The raven-haired newcomer turned once more to see Robin holding Kamui in some sort of magic spell. The male tactician slammed her down before swinging his Bronze Sword several times on her and sending her off the stage with his Levin Sword.
"Arcthunder!"
Bayonetta quickly turned around to see Reflet shooting a large electrical ball towards her. She barely dodged, transforming into bats before and becoming human again at the cost of some damage on her.
"Arcfire!"
The poor witch shielded herself in only one moment, failing to realize that the flames continued to the point where it caught her stuck.
Reflet got her Levin Sword out and struck her across the platform towards Samus.
"Ahh!" the raven-haired woman cried in pain.
Samus noticed that Umbra Witch was flying towards her. She slammed Lucina down and used her rocket boots to send the raven-haired newcomer up in the air.
Bayonetta noticed her opponent's plan and used Witch Time on her.
"Almost," she taunted before using her After Burner kick on the blond space hunter.
Meanwhile, the dragon princess continued to dodge Robin's thunder and fire attacks, as well as his hidden tricks. She fired a Dragon Fire Shot towards the male tactician. Of course, Robin easily shielded himself from the projectile. However, he was too late to react when Kamui pinned him once again. With a smile, the female dragon-hybrid slammed him down before jumping. In the air, her limbs transformed into dragon lance-like forms and went down on him, giving the white-haired man more damage. She retreated back towards Lucina and Bayonetta, all 3 of them slightly pressured from every attempt and counter the Red Team made.
The tacticians smirked before charging up their magic spells again.
Bayonetta and Lucina charged together while Kamui followed behind.
As soon as they made it halfway across the floating platform, Samus charged towards the Red Team before firing her Paralyzer at Batonetta. The Umbra Witch blocked the shot easily, but the bounty hunter jumped over the raven-haired newcomer and brought out her Plasma Whip to grab the Falchion wielder.
"What the-" Lucina began, but was cut off when she was slammed into the ground and recoiled into the air. Samus used her rocket boots and kicked the blue-haired princess higher into the air and past the stage's boundaries.
LUCINA: 1
As soon as Lucina came back on the stage again, Samus and Reflet were already making their way towards her once more. The Exalt Princess shielded and dodged as soon as her feet touched the ground at the same time they attacked.
Are they...?! Lucina gasped realizing what they were planning. Are they going after me?!
Bayonetta threw Robin out of the way before she and Kamui made their way towards the Exalt Princess.
The female tactician saw them coming and reacted quickly by casting Arcfire on the ground. Bayonetta jumped over the fire, but Kamui had to shield herself from reacting a little late. Unfortunately, Robin had grabbed the Yato wielder before launching her in the air and striking her off the stage with Levin Sword before it broke. However, Kamui couldn't recover in time, and she was out of the boundaries.
CORRIN (F): 1
Bayonetta saw her teammate lose a stock before she shielded herself from the projectiles the tacticians had cast.
"Cheeky," the Umbra Witch commented. "You're more cunning than I thought you two would be."
The female tactician swung her Levin Sword at the raven-haired woman, but she blocked the blade with her guns on her heels.
"We won't let you get the upper hand and win," Reflet told the Blue team with a glare as she charged up her magic attack again. "Not ever."
