"I hope you have a safe trip." Camelot said as the Heroes were boarded on the airship.

"Have a safe trip!" Lulu said.

"The theme of today's Princess Party is Best Sports Princess. You my not be good at studying or dancing, but when it comes to sports, no one can possbly beat you, Fine-Sama!"

Fine chuckled. "You think so?"

"She's right Fine, do your best!" Rein said.

"Oh yeah!" Mario nodded.

"Okay! Then I guess I should do my best!"

"Please keep an eye on Fine-Sama, so she doesn't do anything absurd," Camelot whispered to the others. "I'm counting on you."

"Why yes, leave it to us, Ms. Camelot." Double-D nodded as they flew off.

"I promise I'll win first place!" Fine said with fire in her eyes.

"She's all fired up!" Ed laughed.

"Just wait for us, Camelot!" Luigi waved.


"Wow!" Fine and Rein said in awe as they flew to the Seed Kingdom. "The Mother Tree!"

"I hope everyone in the Seed Kingdom is doing well," DK said. "I miss my fellow Kongs."

"Hey, look at that!" Fine pointed to an arena.

"An arena? So that's where the next Princess Party would be." Tails said.

"Wow! I just can't stand still! Waai!" Fine cheered as she pulled the controls too hard.

"Oh, not a-" Sonic said as the airship flew around like crazy before it gets caught by a giant claw.

"The Claaaaaaaw!" Ed said, sounding like an alien.

"Are you alright?" Said a voice as it is revealed the one who caught them was Princess Sophie of the Windmill Kingdom.

"Thank you..." Fine and Rein said with swirls in their eyes.

"Why does something like this always happen to us-pumo?" Poomo said dizzily.

"I'm not getting on a plane with them next time." Dedede groaned, rubbing his head.

Later, they all got off as the other airships of different kingdoms arrived.

"I'm Princess Fine of the Sunny Kingdom!"

"I'm Rein!"

"And we're the mighty brave Heroes!" Ed said.

"Put a sock in it, Lump." Eddy rolled his eyes.

"I'm Princess Sophie of the Windmill Kingdom." Sophie introduced herself. "It's my greatest pleasure to be friends with the most unprincesslike princesses in the entire history of the Mysterious Star!" She said happily as the twins slumped.

"Uh, did you know those words are offensive to them?" Sonic said.

"Oh! It's been a long time." A familiar voice was heard that made Eddy flinched.

"Oh no..." They turned to see Altezza walking up to them.

"Awkward..." Sonic said.

"Did something happen?" Zelda asked as Penny nodded.

"You could say that..."

"Wow, how beautiful!" Sophie said as Altezza laughed haughtily.

"Isn't it only natural for a princess to maintain their beauty?"

But Sophie walked past her and looked at the flowers. "What flowers are these called?"

Altezza went rigid. "Princess Sophie, are you ignoring me?"

Sophie perked up and turned around. "Hm? Oh, Princess Altezza! Long time no see!"

"Ha, you're as clueless as ever," Altezza said. "I suggest you focus, or you'll never get the Best Princess title."

"Best Princess? Oh, I wish I could win that title just once!" Sophie said happily. "Don't you think so, Princess Altezza?"

"Wh-What do you mean? I was just a little unlucky!"

"You and I are members of the loser's club, let's do our best today!"

"I am not a member of such a club!"

"Loser's Club? I want to join too!" Ed said.

"Just wait and see!" Altezza exclaimed. "I'm going to beat you badly, not only in today's party, but in the race next week as well!"

"Race? Like-a karting?" Mario said.

"I think that's gonna be skipped," Eddy said quietly as he tried to hide himself from the Jewelry Kingdom Princess.

"The true beauty of a princess is her shining smile." They turned to see Prince Bright walking up to them. "Princess Sophie, please forgive the rudeness of my little sister."

"Huh? Did she say something rude?" Sophie said cluelessly.

"She didn't even notice-pumo." Poomo said as Rein was fawning over Bright.

"I bet she's like Ed," Eddy said. "All action and no brain."

"I'm afraid that may very well be the case, Eddy..." Double-D sighed.

"I look forward to seeing your great performance today, Princess Fine." Bright held out a hand, but it was grabbed by Rein. "Rein."

"Thank you, Bright-Sama!"

"We're happy for you, Rein!" Fine said.

"Let's get going, King King is waiting." Bright said.

"But Oniisama..." Altezza said as Bright and her leave.

"So, see you later."

"See ya, Bright!" Sonic said.

"I'll be seeing you later." Sophie said, taking her leave as well.

"Fine! Rein! Everyone!"

"Babu!"

Everyone turned to see Lione and Milky approaching them excitedly.

"Lione! Milky!" Penny said as the Heroes embraced them.

"Long time no see!" Rein said.

"How have you been?" Fine said.

"Pretty great!"

"Babu! Babu!"

"Glad to see you two are doing well," Double-D said.

"So, did something happen between Altezza and Sophie?" Lione asked. "They looked like they were arguing."

"Yeah, they were saying something about a race next week." Tails said.

"Eddy here said it's gonna be skipped." Knuckles said.

"Oh it will," Eddy said. "It has no plot relevance whatsoever."

"What does that even mean?" Impa asked.

"I've said all I have to say, lady!"


"I hereby commence the fourth Princess Party-dane!" King announced as the Princesses got ready while the Heroes were sitting among the crowd.

"Let the race begin-dane, on your mark!"

"Darling, we have to introduce the princesses before that." Queen Flower said.

"Ah, you're right. Let's do it quickly-dane."

Each of the Princesses were announced as Ed cheered for Fine and Rein with a foam finger.

"Go Fine and Rein, go!"

"So let's begin-dane!" King said as he held a cork gun. "On your mark!"

"Before that, we have to explain the rules of the competition." Flower said.

"Just do it quickly-dane."

"In this race, you have to run around the track and complete three games," Flower explained. "We will decide the Best Princess by considering various factors: Not only speed, but also elegant and beautiful movement, the spirit of fair play, and so on."

"No way!" Fine gawked. "Just running isn't enough?"

"Well, this may be a problem for Fine," Double-D said.

"With that rule, I may have a chance too if I do my best!" Rein said happily.

"But not for-a Rein." Luigi said.

"This contest looks like something from my school," Saki said.

"So then, on your mark!"

"But before that, we have the opening ceremory by Nagino, the wandering poet," Flower said as Nagino played his harp.

"Just start the stupid race already!" Eddy yelled. "Nobody cares about him!"

Meanwhile, one of the goons alongside two robots named Bocoe and Decoe were spying on them.

"Alright, while they're distracted, we'll get that compact!" Bocoe said.

"Right!" Decoe nodded.

"Were you hired by the minister of the Moon Kingdom?" They turned to see Eclipse. "As I suspected, you're targeting the party. I'm not going to let you guys have the power of the Prominence!"

"Uh-oh, time to cheese it!" Bocoe said as they ran with Eclipse on their tail which goes unnoticed by Sonic.

"Look, it's Eclipse!"

"Eclipse!" Fine and Rein said.

"Babu!"

"Finally, I couldn't take a minute longer of that guy!" Knuckles said

"After him!" Bright said as he went after Eclipse along with the Heroes.

"Villain, I, Tio, shall punish you!" Tio said as he tried to go after him, but he tripped. He was about to fall face-first before getting caught by a hand.

"Careful there!"

"Huh? Who are you?"

"My name is Daruk, little fella!"

"Daruk!?"

He turned to see Link, Zelda, and Impa who are surprised.

"Link! Zelda! Impa!" He laughed as he gave them a hug.

"Daruk, but how?" Impa said. "You... you died!"

"Guess reports of my death were greatly exaggerated. I'll tell you all about it, now what's going on?"

"Hey, who's the big guy?" Sonic asked as the Heroes walked to them.

"This is our friend, Daruk. One of the champions of Hyrule." Impa said.

"Champion? You mean like a Hero?" Tio excitedly asked as he was set back on his feet.

"Let's go you guys, Eclipse is on the loose!" Ed said.


Meanwhile, Eclipse ran through the forest and stops to catch his breath.

"Wait!" He turned to Bright. "Why do you stalk Princess Fine and Rein? Just what is your purpose?"

"It's none of your business." Eclipse scoffed. "Just enjoy your dancing, you goody-goody who knows nothing of the real world."

"Are you insulting me!? I won't forgive you!"

"You won't forgive me? So what?" Eclipse then sees a sword on the ground as Bright held his.

"Take it." Bright said. "TAKE IT!"

"Look, there they are!" Sonic said as they see Bright and Eclipse clashing with their swords.

"Oh, this gotta be good." Eddy grinned.

"Popcorn?" Ed asked as he took out a bucket, which Eddy gratefully accepted.

"Are you gonna share that?" Aya asked.

"Not bad swordplay." Meta Knight said. "But they shouldn't be fighting at a time like this."

"We need to stop them!" Bandana Dee said.

"Bright-Sama..." Rein said worriedly.

"Th-This serious-pumo."

"Babu!" Milky said.

"My! Oniisama and that bad guy are fighting!?" Altezza said.

"Anyway, we must stop their duel!" Fine said.

"Yes!" Rein nodded.

As Fine and Rein were about to transform, a bolt of green lightning struck the area in the middle of Bright and Eclipse, causing both of them to fall on their asses as everyone jumped.

"That is enough."

Everyone turned to see a tall woman with wild red hair, dark tanned skin, and carrying a scimitar and shield stepping out of the forest with a stern look on her face.

"Woah, who's the amazon?" Eddy said.

"URBOSA!?" Zelda gasped.

"What are you doing!?" Bright said as Eclipse dropped the sword.

"I have no time for this, we'll finish this duel later." Eclipse then took his leave.

"Wait, are you running away!?" Bright tried to go after him, but the Urbosa stops him.

"He is not worth your time, young one."

"Urbosa!" Zelda called out as she, Link, Impa, and Daruk ran over.

"Link? Zelda? Impa? Daruk?"

"Well, this is a reunion." Daruk chuckled. "I take you got here the same way I did, huh?"


"A lot has happened, but let's snap out of it and begin-dane!" King announced as the princesses got ready. "On your mark!"

"Um, we haven't changed yet!" Fine and Rein said.

"Ready, GO!" King fired his cork gun as they princesses ran but Fine went ahead.

"Hey, Fine's fast." Sonic said. "Not as fast as yours truly, but still pretty dang fast!"

Fine ran as she ate some bread tied to ropes.

"What's with the bread?" Eddy asked.

"Well Eddy, in Japan they have races like this where the runner has to jump high to eat the hanging bread," Double-D explained. "They call it the Bread-Eating Contest."

"Hey guys, looks like Rein made a new friend." Sonic said as they see Rein and the Princess of the Waterdrop Kingdom, Mirlo chatting as they couldn't reach the hanging bread.

"That's-a nice!" Luigi said.

"But they're in the middle of a contest-pumo." Poomo said as Fine picked up a paper from a basket.

"Let's see what it says, Double-D's... hat?" She said as she turned to Double-D and ran up to him. "Double-D, your hat! Can I borrow it!?"

"Excuse me?"

"Please!"

"You don't want to see what's under Double-D's hat, I couldn't get the image out of my head," Eddy said.

"It's cool!" Ed laughed.

"Babu babu ba?" Milky reads the paper that says, "Meta Knight's mask".

"A few hairs from Tails' tails?" Altezza read.

"Penny's bow?" Sophie read.

"Mario's cap?" Gorchel read.

They ran to borrow the items they need.

"Babu babu!" Milky said to Meta Knight.

"Poyo poyo?" Kirby said.

"What?" Meta Knight said.

"Hang in there, I'll pull some out soon," Altezza said as she tried to pull hair from Tails' tails.

"Just don't be so hard!"

"I would like to borrow your bow please!" Sophie said to Penny.

"Oh, why certainly."

"Mario, can we borrow your cap please?" Ichele said.

"Okay, here you go." Mario placed his cap on them.

"Now we can't see!"

"Saki's glasses?" Rein read on her paper.

"Sonic's shoes?" Mirlo read hers.

"Here Double-D, you can use my hat!" Fine offered her hat to him.

"Oh, why thank you, Fine."

"Babu! Babu!" Milky held Meta Knight's mask as the said knight turned back.

"I prefer it that nobody sees my face..."

"Look, I'm first!" Altezza said as she got some of hair from Tails.

"That really hurts..." Tails said, rubbing his tails.

"Yes!" Sophie said as she got Penny's bow.

"You're welcome!"

They all placed the items on a table as they ran to the next game,

"I suppose the winner will be decided at the next game, tama-ire."

Rein and Mirlo placed their items and went to the next where the princesses were throwing balls into baskets.

"Can't believe she took my shoes," Sonic said.

"Same for my glasses," Saki said. "I can't see anything without 'em..."

They see Altezza knock down Sophie's basket.

"Hey, that's-a cheating!" Luigi said.

But they see Sophie knock down Altezza's basket as well.

"Karma's a-"

"Eddy!" Double-D scolded Eddy before he could finish. "There are children present!"

But then, they see Altezza throw a ball at Lione as the Flame Kingdom Princess threw one back at her and then all the princesses began throwing balls at each other.

"Hey, stop that!" Fine said.

"Playing catch with your friends is fun, right?" Sophie said.

"All of you, stop this at once!" Impa said as a ball hit her, knocking her onto the ground.

"I don't think they're gonna listen!" Tails said as he avoided a ball.

"Stop fighting!" Ed demanded but a bunch of balls hit him.

"Fine, Rein, do something!" Luigi said as ball hits him. "Ouch! My nose..."

"Right, Rein let's Prominence!"

"Yeah!" Rein nodded as they transformed... but they suddenly turned back.

"Huh? What just happened?"

"Did you two do the Sunny Charge properly last night-pumo?" Poomo said as the twins paled. "Just as I thought-pum-" The little fairy gets hit by a ball.

"What should we do?" Fine and Rein said. "I know! At a time like this..." They took out the Feather Mugram they got from Moon Malia. "The Feather Mugram! Let's use it!"

Rein activated the feather.

"Mugram dancing! Twirl around, start!" She pointed it at Altezza and Sophie as they both began to twirl non-stop.

"What kind of magic is that?" Daruk asked as the two princesses stopped and collapsed.

"Oh dear, are you two alright? What happened?" Mirlo asked.

"A-Actually, I have no idea what happened..." Sophie dizzily said.

"I was going to be number one..." Altezza groaned.

"Don't give up until the very end. Now, let's do our best together." Mirlo said.

"Mirlo..."

"At least they stopped fighting." Knuckles said.

"I don't even know where I am anymore..." Saki sighed.

Later, the contest continued as Mirlo became the winner.

"The Best Sports Princess has been decided: Princess Mirlo of the Waterdrop Kingdom-dane!" King announced as the audience cheered.

"And I was expecting Fine to win this." Sonic said.

"Camelot's not going to be-a happy." Mario said.

"Well, she'll have better luck next time," Double-D said as he was still wearing Fine's hat. "And I wish to have my hat back."

"Sorry, Double-D!"


Knightmare Lord A/N:

Not much to do in this chapter, but we do have Daruk and Urbosa. They'll explain everything to the heroes on how they got here in the next chapter.


Bloodyguy A/N:

Yeah, got nothing to do in this chapter. Hopefully the next one will be better.
