Excess Express at Day (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
Hades woke up and stretched. "Let's see if there's any food left." He said as he got up and walked to the dining car as he spotted the food not even touched. "Heh, she's not even awake yet." He smirked as he walked to the breakfast buffet RIGHT when Pit and Palutena walked in.
"I hope they have floor ice cream in here!" Pit grinned.
"Pit, we're here to retrieve Ghost T." She reminded him. "Besides, Floor Ice Cream isn't exactly healthy for breakfast."
"But it gives you health! How many times do I have to tell you this?" He asked. "Besides, you can't go ghost hunting without an empty stomach, right?"
"Good point." She said. "I wonder if there are any bagels." She wondered as they went their separate ways in the breakfast.
"Let's see…" Pit looked around. "Huh, the scrambled eggs look good." He said as he went for the silverware, but someone else took them. "Hey! I saw that first!"
"Finders keepers." Hades said as they then looked up to see each other.
Hades' Infernal Theme (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"HADES?!" Pit yelled.
"Pit!"
"HADES!"
"Pit!"
"Hades!"
"Pit!"
"HADES!"
"PIT!"
Worldwalker woke up from the yelling. "What in the heck is going on in there?" He wondered as he walked out…and it seemed like everyone else had the same thought as they walked to the dining car.
"IT'S ON!" They both yelled as they started whaling on each other right when they walked in to see a dust cloud.
"What in the heck…?" Lucy asked as they noticed Palutena looking at the dust cloud in confusion.
"Uh…" Palutena blinked. "Pit? Didn't we destroy Hades and left him in a disembodied voice?"
Have a Nice Talk (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
The dust cloud stopped as Hades had Pit in a headlock. "Well, now that you mention it…it does seem a bit odd." He said.
"Now that I think about it…" Luigi folded his arms. "Didn't you tell us at the Smash Mansion that you destroyed him?"
"NOW you're thinking about it?!" Link looked at him in shock. "I was wondering that when they decided to come with us!"
"How come you didn't say anything?" Cloud asked.
"I was still trying to figure it out." Link replied.
"It's simple." Worldwalker said. "Me, Mokou, Yukari, Hikari and Hades are from an alternate universe."
"So uh…how did you wind up here?" Natsu asked.
"There was a portal with a sign called 'Random Portal of Randomness' and…I couldn't help myself." Worldwalker chuckled.
"Hey, it got us curious to see where it led to." Yukari said. "In fact, Rosalina was with us too but…for some reason we got separated."
"And I know where she is." Worldwalker growled. "She's at the X-Naut Fortress being held prisoner…and when I find that Grodus, I'm going to tear him into pieces."
"So…does this mean the Rosalina in this universe is safe while the Rosalina from YOUR universe is locked up?" Pit asked as Worldwalker nodded. "Oddly enough, that makes sense but what about Hades? Wasn't he destroyed in your universe by me?"
"It's a very long story." He said. "I'll tell you later."
"Okay…." Pit shrugged.
"I'm lost." Natsu blinked. "It sounds complicated."
"Oh don't worry about it." Erza shrugged.
"So why did you fight me, anyway?" Pit asked Hades.
"Heh, I always can't help to have a little throwdown with you, Pitty Pat." Hades chuckled.
"Should've seen that one coming." Pit muttered. "Oh well. Anyway, i'll just be having breakfast." He turned around. "Right before we…capture…a…ghost…? Where'd all the food go?"
"Right there." Palutena pointed as Pit saw Yuyuko inhaling the last ice cream cone.
"NO!" Pit yelled as he put his hands on Yuyuko's shoulders. "Please tell me that wasn't the last ice cream cone!"
"It was." Yuyuko nodded…and then Pit fainted. "What?"
"Anyway, have you seen Ghost T. around?" Palutena asked.
"Not really." Worldwalker said.
"Alright, I guess we'll go take a look." Palutena said as she actually dragged Pit behind her.
"All of that ice cream…gone in an instant…" He sobbed.
Excess Express at Day
"What's his problem?" Minene asked.
"Ice cream fanatic." Mario shrugged as Yukino walked in and saw the food completely gone.
"I'm not surprised." Yukino sighed. "Hey, has anyone seen the other passengers? It's been really quiet…besides yelling a couple minutes ago."
"Now that I think about it…it has been quiet." Minene said. "I'll go ask the engineer." She said.
"I'll go with you." Erza said as she nodded as they both walked away to the engineer.
"Hmm?" He turned around. "Oh hello! What seems to be the occasion?"
"Everyone seems to be missing." Minene replied.
"Really? Well that couldn't just leave the train overnight." He said. "But anyway, we're going to arrive in Poshley Heights in a few hours." He said. "So make yourselves comfortable." He requested as something landed on the windshield. "Hmm?" He looked at it. "Now what's that?" He wondered and suddenly the Smorgs appeared.
Danger! Enemy Encounter! (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"WHAT THE?!" He yelled.
"Those are the things from yesterday!" Minene exclaimed.
"How did they keep up with us?" Erza asked.
"I have no idea!"
"C-Can you guys take care of this? I need to keep driving the train after all." He said as they nodded and took off while he pulled out a radio. "EXCESS EXPRESS TO POSHLEY HEIGHTS! EXCESS EXPRESS TO POSHLEY HEIGHTS! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! THIS IS A CODE RED! I REPEAT, A CODE RED!" He yelled.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu yelled, burning up some Smorgs who got in the dining car. "How did they get here?"
"I have no idea." Gray said as Juvia used Water Slicer on a couple of them as Goombella went into her Tattle Log.
"They're called the Smorgs!" She said as Pit and Palutena ran in with Minene and Erza right behind them.
"We got a situation!" Pit said.
"We can see that!" Luigi said as Youmu slashed them away.
"Stand back…I'll take care of this." Erza said as she pulled out the Ike Amiibo and held it high into the air. "REQUIP!" She yelled.
Fire Emblem Theme (Super Smash Bros Brawl/Wii U)
Erza had transformed into Ike's outfit from Super Smash Bros 4, complete with a cape and the Ragnell. "Whoa!" Lucy exclaimed.
"She looks epic!" Happy said as Erza ran forward and slashed through the Smorgs with ease as they all followed her.
"How the heck is she able to hold that sword with one hand?" Gray asked.
"She has Ike's strength." Palutena said.
"It's amazing, I tell you." Pit said as they kept going until they got in the luggage car where they saw the Smorgs coming in.
"You might want to stand back." Erza said as she put her other hand on the Ragnell and then used a fully charged Eruption to blast the Smorgs away.
"Blue flames?" Natsu asked.
"Wow, this is so amazing." Worldwalker said as Mokou nodded in agreement as the Smorgs quickly took off back outside. "No one's in here?"
"Then they must be outside." Erza said as she went out with everyone else behind her.
"Holy crap! That's a lot of them!" Gray exclaimed.
Pit summoned his Palutena bow. "But we'll take care of 'em!" He said as they charged forward and took out any Smorgs in the way until they started retreating to the locomotive…and then it transformed into the Smorg Miasma as they saw all the trapped passengers being held hostage.
"So that's where they are…" Natsu said as his fists burst into flame.
"SMOOOOOORG!" It said.
"Hey buddy! You need a ticket if you want a ride!" Natsu told it. "Come on, Happy! Let's take care of this!"
"Aye, sir!" Happy exclaimed as they all got ready for battle.
Demystify Feast (Touhou: Concealed the Conclusion)
Erza ran over to the Smorg and slashed it several times just like Ike would and then used Counter when it attempted to slap her as Natsu ran over. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He yelled, but he was slapped away as he nearly fell off of the train.
"Flowery Soul: Butterfly Delusion." Yuyuko said, but the danmaku was blown away from where they were and some of the danmaku got in Pit's eyes.
"Gah! Get it off of me!" Pit exclaimed as he fired an arrow right at Mokou who was charging up a fireball.
"OW!" Mokou yelled as she accidentally threw it at Lucy, as she screamed in pain.
"Well, that never happened before." Yuyuko said.
"Human God Sword: Acceptance of Eternal Truth!" Youmu said as she slashed the Smorg, but the danmaku, however, was blown away.
"It seems we can't use our danmaku on a high speed train." Yukari said.
"Well that's good to know." Mokou said as they felt the train slowing down.
"What in the…?" Minene wondered as she went down to investigate. "Hey! Why are you slowing down?"
"Those things are freaking me out! I don't want Poshley Heights to be infested!" He said but Minene walked over and basically let the train floor it. "Hey!"
"Don't slow down, we'll take care of it!" Minene said as they then noticed dark clouds rolling in. "What the…?"
"SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!" Wendy yelled, but the Smorgs weren't even fazed, but they were hurt by Vivian's Fiery Jinx as Mario and Luigi hammered them as Hikari and Worldwalker slashed them while Pit pulled out an X-Bomb.
"HERE YOU GO!" He yelled…but as luck would have it, it was blown away as it hit the rails and then exploded, killing some unsuspecting Goombas in the process. "Or…not." He sweatdropped.
"ICE MAKE: HAMMER!" Gray yelled.
"WATER SLICER!" Juvia yelled as Lucy called out Virgo and Yukino called out Libra as Virgo ran over and kicked it.
"Guard yourself." Libra quietly said as the Smorgs were pushed down by the gravity and then Erza used Eruption on it while Pit slashed it and Palutena used Explosive Fireworks.
"Uh…what's with the storm clouds?" Luigi pointed out.
"I have no idea…" Youmu said as Gajeel used Iron Dragon's Club.
"Hey…you don't think…" Gajeel looked at Natsu as they saw a lightning bolt strike down in front of the train.
"Yep…" Natsu nodded. "Hold on to something!" He exclaimed.
Minene saw a man in front of them and it looked like he was going to punch the train really hard. "What in the world…?" He wondered.
"LIGHTNING DRAGON'S BREAKDOWN FIST!" The man yelled and punched the train really hard and causing it to immediately stop and cause all kinds of problems for the cars behind it…and everyone was thrown to the ground on top.
"Ow…" Natsu groaned.
"Ugh…he sure knows how to make an entrance." Lucy muttered.
Minene groaned to see the locomotive in pieces. "You okay?"
"…My insides feel like jelly." He muttered.
"Yeah, you're fine." She said as she noticed a man climbing on top of the Excess Express.
"Hey." He said, catching the Smorg's attention. "No one goes and attacks trains like that."
Dragon Slayer (Fairy Tail)
"Says the guy who punched a train." Natsu said.
Laxus glared at Natsu. "Now is not the time." He muttered.
"Wow, you sure know how to stop a train." A voice said as they looked to see two other Dragon Slayers.
"Sting! Rogue!" Yukino exclaimed.
"What are we, chopped liver?" Lector asked.
"Apparently…" Frosche sighed as another certain Dragon Slayer walked up behind Laxus.
"…What the heck is Cobra doing here?" Natsu asked.
"Don't ask." Cobra told him. "Right now, we need to take this thing out." He smirked.
"Uh…isn't he opposed to us?" Gray asked.
"Don't worry about it." Sting said.
"SMOOOOOORG!" The Smorg yelled as it started attacking them, but Laxus grabbed one of the tentacles and lightning poured out of him, electrifying the Smorgs.
"WHITE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
"ICE MAKE: ARROW!" Gray yelled as Pit fired an arrow with him as Juvia threw a whirlpool at it and then Levy used Solid Script: Iron on the Smorgs.
"SHADOW DRAGON'S CLAW!"
"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" Wendy yelled and then Laxus punched the Smorgs up in the air.
"FIRE DRAGON…"
"IRON DRAGON…"
"POISON DRAGON…"
"ROAR!" They all yelled as the Smorgs yelled in pain.
"Well that's a combination I've never seen before." Gray said as the Smorgs came down and the Gensokyo girls finished it off with their danmaku.
"That was an epic finisher." Lector grinned.
"Fro thinks so too!"
The Smorgs groaned and then they simply disappeared and the passengers were saved…though they did seem a bit woozy.
Excess Express at Day
"So uh…how are we going to get to Poshley Heights now?" The conductor asked.
"I could gap us there, but I have a better idea." Yukari said as she made a gap and walked in…and then came back out with Nitori.
Nitori sweatdropped. "Do I even WANT to know what happened here?" She asked.
"Don't worry about it." Youmu told her as Nitori went right to work, starting with the engine.
A few hours later…
"So let me get this straight." Natsu said. "You guys were waiting for Yukino at Poshley Heights?" he asked.
"That's right." Sting nodded.
He then glanced at Laxus. "What about him?"
"He was around." Rogue replied. "In fact, he threw a bad guy in jail who was planning on destroying Poshley Heights."
"All by himself? What about the rest of the Thunder Legion?"
"He went in alone." Rogue said. "When he heard the train was under attack, he immediately rushed in to help."
"It's a coincendence that you guys were on this train too." Laxus muttered.
"So…what about Cobra?" Erza asked.
"…I have no idea." Sting replied. "He probably busted out of jail with no one noticing."
Cobra smirked. "That's exactly right. The council was completely oblivious."
"…Okay then." Natsu blinked as Nitori walked in.
"Alright, it's finished." Nitori said as the Excess Express started moving again…and just like that, the four of them were down for the count...although Laxus was leaning on a wall.
"You have motion sickness too?" Natsu asked.
"Don't tell the other guild members about this…" Laxus muttered.
Poshley Heights (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
The Excess Express stopped at Poshley Heights as they all walked out. "Oh sweet goodness…we're out of that death trap…" Sting groaned.
"Ugh…talk about embarrassing…" Cobra muttered.
"How come you guys weren't affected?" Lector asked Natsu.
"We had motion sickness medicine when we were in the infirmary." He said.
"NOW YOU TELL US?!" Sting yelled.
"You guys coming?" Worldwalker asked Pit and Palutena.
"Nah, we're going to go find the ghost first." Pit replied. "You guys go have fun." He said as they started looking.
"Well, since I was dragged into this, might as well join you." Nitori chuckled as they started walking, but Laxus went a different way.
"Where are you going?" Natsu asked.
"You have your own thing to worry about…I have my own." Laxus said. "Tell that demon I said hi."
"But if the demon comes out and tries to destroy the world…wouldn't you be devastated? There's got to be somebody that you care about." Natsu said as Laxus stopped walking. "What if that somebody was killed by the demon?"
"...Very well then." Laxus said as he walked back. "But as soon as the demon is destroyed, I'm immediately heading back for the guild."
"Awesome!" Natsu said.
"Gihi, you have a thing for Mira, don't you?" Gajeel asked…only to be pounded to the ground by Laxus.
"I'm not telling you who I like." Laxus said as he walked away.
"It's obviously Mira…" Gajeel groaned.
"We're in too." Sting said as Rogue and Yukino nodded
"If it means destroying something, I'm in." Cobra smirked as they walked to the Poshley Sanctum to find it locked.
"Mama mia! It's locked!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Don't worry…I'll take care of it." Natsu said as he punched the lock and completely destroyed it.
"Well, never mind about the key." A voice said as they looked to see Pennington walking up to them.
"You own this place?" Erza asked.
"I sure do. Detective work is more of a hobby of mine." He explained as they walked in…to see Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss with the Crystal Star.
"Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me!" Lucy exclaimed.
Shadow Sirens (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Hehehe, you're too late." Beldam smirked. "We have the Crystal Star and there's nothing you can do about it!" She said as she and Marilyn went underground.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Doopliss said as he went out the window.
Poshley Sanctum (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"We're too late…" Youmu said.
"Actually, that Crystal Star is a red herring." Pennington explained as he walked over and pulled back a curtain. "The real Crystal Star is in here." He said as they all hurriedly went in while Laxus and Cobra just casually walked to the warp pipe.
"All of this for a stupid star." Cobra muttered as they hopped in to see Luigi freaking out over some Dark Boos.
"Don't you have the Poltergust?" Youmu asked.
"Y-yeah but…these things are really creepy!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Man up." Minene told him as Mario grabbed the real Crystal Star.
"Alright, lets-a go!" Mario exclaimed as Yukari made a gap.
"We're going in that?" Sting asked.
"Would you rather take the Excess Express?"
"MAKE WAY, COMING THROUGH!" Sting ran in.
"He'd rather take the gap." Lector chuckled as they walked into the gap back to Rogueport.
Yep, the other Dragon Slayers have arrived...and Nitori.
