Good evening folks, the name is Red. TheFlyingRedJerk. And I am here today with the newest chapter for Sonic & Sega All Stars Subspace Unleashed. Now we are getting into the real juicy details of the Summit's plan and learning more about what Kazuya's real goal behind wanting to ally with the leaders for his well deserved revenge on Heihachi. Later this chapter will see the appearance of more demons, especially a good look at who the current Bethel members are as previously teased. Well, let's all get this show on the road then.

The entire meeting is in a state of shock to know that Heihachi is alive and apparently teaming up with the Legion, let alone Kazuya Mishima of all people proposing an alliance with them. The other Smash Brothers still have little reason to trust him knowing well that he had a knack for dropping his enemies into volcanoes. Speaking of, this is exactly how he killed his own father sometime after he joined the Smash Organization and violently storming the Mishima Zaibatsu company to face him one last time. The GUN Commander was partially tempted to call Team Dark to deal with this intruder, but remembered it was best for them to focus on tracking down Gerald Robotnik at all costs. It didn't take any imagination to realize all the guards and GUN soldiers who were possibly taken out by this man when the President saw countless wounded bodies that were floored from his possible onslaught. He was someone that truly cared for his staff and became too angry for words to even say a single word to Kazuya. Lidia still have less of a reason to believe he came here in any good faith despite knowing the status of his father's revival.

"I am wondering just who is this ruffian. Some kind of dangerous man here for a fight?" Toadsworth asks.

"That is Kazuya Mishima, one of the strongest fighters of the Mishima Clan and son of the one who used to host the Tekken Tournaments of the past. He's inherited a dangerous gene known as the Devil Gene, which makes him almost deadly as an actual demon in combat. He's always had the goal of taking over the world after the abuse he endured from Heihachi, but their relationship gets even more complicated after that," Lidia replied to the Toad steward.

"Hibachi? I swore I've heard that name before," Mayor Kroop said.

Half of the leaders would ignore the senile Koopa mayor's inability to get Heihachi's name correct.

"No, we are not talking about a Japanese grill but a highly dangerous man with great ambitions. Even his own father was once a threat in the old days when WW2 was rampant worldwide. I wonder if he is at large instead of remaining dead," Hayate said seriously.

"There is no doubts that Jinpachi may be around too. But I doubt father and son would see eye to eye as the Mishimas and Kazamas always had it out for each other," Cody added.

"Which is all linked to that Devil Gene. They always wanted to remove all traces of it, even if it means killing one another. I've heard the precursor of this gene was Kazumi Mishima, but it traces all the way to ancient times with the Hachijo Clan" Ryu Hayabusa said.

"Rumors say that Jinpachi was even someone that held this gene, but other reports say he was actually controlled by a vengeful ghost as his true source of power," Big Boss said while still holding his gun at Kazuya.

"I don't know what in cuttlefish spawn is going on, but I've seen enough craziness after putting an end to Commander Tartar's bullshark," Pearl complained.

Kazuya laughs once again at the sheer thought many seem to think his entire family is dangerous as he sees himself as the lesser evil than his father and grandfather. Furthermore, he always wanted to test his own son's strength so he can embrace the devil within him than ever wanting to get rid of it. Dedede twirls his hammer once again since he still have little reason to see Kazuya on good terms. Rosalina is more than prepared to fight if she has to, but also holding back her cosmic powers as they could be destructive. The little yellow Luma still hid behind her in fear as Polaris is the least afraid of the two star creatures. Roy sets his Sword of Seals ablaze as if he's ready to strike at any moment. Chrom knew too well just how unpredictable the Tekken fighter was due to his behavior and power.

"Even if you aren't with the Legion, what makes you think we can trust you in any capacity? All those innocent guards you've attacked just to get here. Nothing about your wicked background will make us consider you being an ally," Lucina warns.

"You mean those weaklings? They were in my way when I simply wanted to spread a message, thinking their inferior fists and weapons could ever lay a scratch on my body. So they pushed me to use my strength to strike all of them down. Luckily I didn't even become my Devil Form either or they would have been guaranteed to die," Kazuya replies with his same unnerving smile.

"Still, attacking our men that were tasked to defend this Summit with their lives is a crime that can't be ignored. I refuse to believe that our GUN Walker units were too weak to take you down," the GUN Commander shouts.

"Ha, your machines are like child's play. I've fought Combots by my bastard brother Chaolan more dangerous than them. Just a few punches were enough to destroy them walking piles of trash. Not even a single laser was needed to sweep them," the Japanese fighter brags.

The Commander knew too well how dangerous this man is if their strongest machines did little to slow him down at all. This is only a reminder of how easily the Legion easily would have raided them had they never followed Zelda's plan on gathering stronger allies. Edelgard however didn't fear this man the slightest at all, feeling she just could have a chance of killing him if given the permission to fight. Dimitri felt the same as he saw him as no different from the many Demon Beasts that he slain on his own or with the help of the Blue Lions alone.

"The answer is no. We will nor be accepting help from the G Corporation in any way. The crimes you had done are too immeasurable to ever accept your help. Same goes for that war your son had caused just to bring you out of hiding," the President shouts.

"For someone so powerful, why don't you just fight the Legion on your own instead of begging for our assistance. Too scared to defeat your own father again?" Lidia said.

"As I've said from the start, I can't take him on alone. If this is a one on one fight or him having so many weak machines and soldiers as his only lines of defense, I'd crush him like an ant. But with so many powerful forces I've never heard of or seen with my own eyes in that message, there is little chance I would survive with my Devil Form alone. You know who the PlayStation All Stars, right? He was once a member of them after they deemed me and my son too unstable to be a part of their little group. So he allied with various enemies of these members or former members as well like Zeus. A god like him is above my level, but his other allies like Mael Radec and Evil Cole are no laughing matter either. This is why I am proposing an alliance if it means being the one to kill that old fool once more," Kazuya explains.

"Oh really? That could explain why you were desperate enough to join the Smash Brothers if it means combating your father so badly. It's all starting to make too much sense," Chrom said nervously.

"It's mostly to spite the old fool, but you are smarter than you'd look for a prince. Not that the PlayStation All Stars are any better themselves for giving the likes of him, Radec, Sweet Tooth, Zeus, a Big Daddy, and Evil Cole a chance at joining their party. I wonder what they are up to themselves in the middle of this chaos," the Japanese man said with his arms crossed.

"We wouldn't know as we've rejected their proposal of allying. But we have heard some of them like Sackboy and Ratchet have allied with the Sega Super Stars during the Mothership raid incident. GUN have yet to tell us much about why those two decided to help," Chrom said.

"They came to us because they felt their help was needed. The PlayStation All Stars were too torn over the little hero services they could do for the world that those two specifically came to us for assistance. But mostly because Dr. Nefarious is one of the allied leaders of the Legion's operations," the GUN Commander said.

"Of course this is all that metallic fool's doing. Always thinking the entire galaxy is his' for the taking with his interstellar robot army. The yellow rat is still thinking he can stop him with help?" Kazuya asks.

"Unfortunately Team Dark had lost contact with him ever since the Legion's storm had happened. But I wouldn't be shocked if he's going all the way back to the PlayStation All Stars to ask for their help," the GUN Commander said before stroking his chin.

"Seems like you Smash Brothers aren't the only ones who can't control your own members. I'm starting to see a trend in you "hero" organizations thinking any villain can ever be anything but a villain. Perhaps it's time you all were to dissolve completely," Jekke said pompously.

"Pipe it, prince! You have no idea how important they are as a group. The universe has been saved countless times thanks to their help," Nel shouts at the spiky haired Nevansplace leader.

"As much as I hate to disagree, I'm afraid he's right. The Smash Brothers and PlayStation All Stars had done more harm than good. Expecting the likes of Sephiroth, Bowser, or Wily to be heroes was always a recipe for disaster. Especially more true for the PlayStation All Stars when that polygonal mess thinks a space conqueror or arrogant Greek god has potential to be heroes," Hyoda said from her seat.

"Speak for yourself, Chairwoman. Didn't you let your Shadow take control of your corruption so badly that the Phantom Thieves had to stop your dictatorship?" Big Boss warned.

The Japanese politician had no choice but to hold her own tongue since it was true that she let her corruption truly get the best of her during her reign as mayor.

"As if spies like you should be trusted. We all know what blood you and your Outer Heaven friends have on your hands," Hizir said harshly.

"Everyone, settle down! We have bigger things to focus on like that man who thinks he can barge in and demand us to accept him in this meeting," Zonshen said calmly before opening his eyes.

The rest of the leaders would end their quarrels to eye down the suspicious Mishima that's standing his ground with no sign of ever wanting to leave them. Kazuya taps his foot impatiently, still wearing his beloved black suit as if he's not wanting to have another fight.

"How are we sure this isn't another trick and you aren't just a spy for the Legion? It will take more than just some words to make us trust you, especially after defeating my best trained soldiers," the President said angrily.

Kazuya would sigh since many were too hostile to see that he is actually their enemy as much as they are their's. The first thing he would do is slowly walk past his fellow Smash allies silently without a single ounce of his Devil Gene's power used. Roy and the others still glared at him regardless of his attempt at ignoring their existence. The little Luma still looked way completely with his blue momma comforting him like any parent would. The armed leaders still aimed their guns regardless just in case he planned on doing anything harmful at all. Hyoda, King Mii, and Jekke slowly backed away in their seats since they had a bad feeling about his approach. The GUN Commander shown no fear at all and knew he can always alert more of his agents as backup if anything went wrong. Edelgard still had her eyes on the Japanese man the entire time in case this is the time for her to strike him. Rhea while suspicious had a feeling that he's not actually hostile as many seem to thing. Olaf nervously drank a bottle of vodka within his seat due to immense stress. Cia could sense so much evil within him, natural evil flowing from his veins that isn't like Ganondorf's darkness. The Devil Gene was all too real and something she could tell he was born with instead of gained through his own dark desires. Lana gulps while still keeping a brave face in the heat of the intimidating Mishima's slow approach. He saw the same holo graphic device that Lamont used to communicate with everyone, slowly inserting a chip he had from a handheld device that he had kept.

Most of the room had calmed down from this sight but still wondered if it could be a weapon that could blow the room up. Daisy wished that R.O.B. or Captain Falcon were here as they were familiar with enough tech to see just what Kazuya was doing before her. Chrom nervously held his blade despite everything just in case it could be a trap or he is only holding back for a sneak attack. Bowie had a bad feeling about all of this even if he just joined this summit meeting. He then backs away from the device after the right coordinates were placed, still remaining calm to prove his witnesses wrong. The hologram eventually shapes itself into a pre-recording of what he was sent by Heihachi earlier. The first person that would appear in this holographed message would be the infamous Mishima Clan, the Mr. Tekken himself with his crazed grin and jagged semi-bald hairstyle. Kazuya promised to keep his cool this entire time as much as seeing his insane father infuriates him to no end. Everyone would be shocked to see the very man himself actually breathing despite reports of him being killed in a volcano by Kazuya recently. The Smash Brothers knew him too well since he was also another victim they saved from the World of Light as much as they felt that doing so only allowed him to run rampant with the Mishima Zaibatsu company again. Lidia knew that appearance too well to know that this is some copy or merely his ghost using a message to Kazuya.

"Greetings, boy. It's your old man who rose from the ashes like the phoenix. Forget the Tekken Tournament, I have bigger plans for the world. Or more reclaiming my company once more with the help of some new friends. I am not sure what miracle happened that brought me back from Hell, but it feels good to actually feel the strength flowing through my muscles again. But that isn't the reason why I am reaching out to you. Your Devil Gene that should be purged completely is still the reason why I will never stop pursuing you or my foolish grandson. If my old man Jinpachi is out there too, he will also get it. But no matter, allow me to introduce you to my new powerful friends," the holographic Heihachi announced.

The first that would appear next to him would be a brooding man wearing Helghast armor with a sniper rifle in hand. Lucina knew too well who he was, a member of the PlayStation All Stars that she always had a bad feeling about when meeting him. Something about this man reminded the other World Star leaders too much of Sturm despite them knowing too well that he is probably at large from the magic storm.

"Kazuya Mishima, I've heard all about you because your father's words about your rather fickle moments with him. If you are wondering why me, a member of the PlayStation All Stars, is speaking to you, let's just say that I am starting my own plans that will not concern that futile organization anymore. The Helghast Clan has one goal in mind and that's to colonize and rule every part of this expansive galaxy for the Helghast Clan, the true superior race to these weak humans. That goes to saying that you are one of these weak humans no matter what special demonic gene you inherited from your monster of a mother who's resting in Hell. No matter, we also plan to kill her as well if she is truly alive like our new ally Heihachi here. Do not forget that you are prey as I am the hound of Visari that will hunt you to the ends of this pitiful soon to be planet my people will rule," the cruel Helghan commander spoke in his distorted voice.

Hearing these words from the cruel Helghan man unnerved almost everyone within the room for how threatening and dead serious he is compared to Heihachi. The GUN Commander had a bad feeling these Helghast could be as much of a threat as the Black Arms if they attempt a hostile takeover of the Earth with the Legion's help. Wario had no fear from anything he's heard, busy picking his nose in boredom to mock their attempts at scaring him. The next hologram that appeared between the two would be none other than a certain white monkey known for his intelligence and telepathic powers gained from the special Pipo Helmet he's blessed with. Specter looks down on anyone who isn't a primate like him as he deems them having the potential to be superior if they were to rise against the dominant apes that are humans.

"Kazuya, I've got so much to say about you. But I will be quite brief about this. You say your organization is famed for their advanced bio genetics? Hah, me and my Pipo Monkey army laughs at anything you think you can throw at us from that crummy corp. And you say your magnum opus was what? A kangaroo and some dinosaur? How pathetic can you truly get? In comparison, I have a complete army of monkeys of all shapes and sizes with various weapons of their own. All it takes is one special mass produced helmet, one which I can control with ease to make them the most obedient soldiers for global domination. If you think you can truly stop an apex superior simian, then think again. Mind over matter, my superior intellect over your inferior demon genes," the white monkey gloats before having his trademark laughter.

The next person that would speak would be the only god of thunder, the one god that Kratos previously killed but came back to haunt him once more. One could tell by his blue lightning hot eyes and his long gray braided beard that he knows just how powerful he is.

"Mortals like you always thought you could stand up to true gods like us. Even with that Devil Gene, you are still just a mortal in the end of that the day that will never stack up to the God of War himself. If I personally see you try pursuing our fellow ally Heihachi, these powerful bolts will reduce your insignificant body to ashes. I would be willing to spare you if you are to kneel before me. But false demons like you are too good for that level of humility. The Underworld awaits your rebellious soul Kazuya," the threatening Greek god said.

Palutena is far from surprised that of the Zeuses, this one was truly the cruelest of the bunch and would have shown zero mercy to bit if he saw him than the other one that still guards Greece. King Mii slowly faints upon seeing Zeus's message, his crown slipping off in the process. Kazuya is still holding back any anger he had since this message still belittles the strength he values so much as a Mishima with the Devil Gene. Dedede and Wario could tell he is trying his best if it means making a good impression for everyone. The last person to show up on the message would be none other than Evil Cole with his infamous red lightning of pure evil coursing through his body like a circuit. Kazuya instantly glows his left eye in rage as this is the part that truly angers him. The President and GUN Commander grew alarmed as they had a feeling something's happening next.

"You think your Devil Gene is truly the most evil power? Well I'll just say that you are like an ant compared to the likes of me. The Beast is something that trumps any devil you become. If you really think you can defeat us once we fully ally with the Smash Renegades and Legion, you know that your chances of winning is slim. Go on, get mad. Your anger will only fuel my evil karma to destroy every single ounce of your being. Mishima, why don't you continue being what you used to be as a scrawny weak child. Dead, falling down a ravine since daddy wanted you to die so badly. I dare you, let this be a lesson that you will never be in the PlayStation All Stars because you are weak and don't have true strength unlike your father. Jus…"

Kazuya immediately destroys the message with a lower level version of his eye laser in rage without warning. Almost everyone would be shocked, jumped backwards, or screaming from the sudden burst of rage he's shown compared to his calm mocking demeanor from earlier. Revealing his true feelings that he's felt since seeing the message the first time, he knew too well that their words would be getting under his tough exterior very easily and how alone he is if he attempted taking them all on himself. This side of Kazuya was rare, making his Smash peers almost feel sorry for him. The Gun Commander knew this would happen, but is still disappointed that such an expensive device for communication is destroyed by an outsider. His first response is to immediately pull up a communication device to call someone.

"This is the Commander. We will be needing a new communicator since someone felt the need to unleash their own rage on the wrong target," he said.

The President will only await getting a new device since there would be no way to communicate with Lamont or the other allies for quite a while.

"Thank you for your time, Kazuya. We believe you and truly understand why you came to us. But please for the next time, do not destroy important telecommunication tech in this meeting if you will truly be a part of it," he said slowly but cautiously.

"At least we all know that we are on the same page on stopping the Legion. We are sorry for doubting you," Lucina said.

Kazuya would only breath slowly as a means to calm down from that slight outburst, his eye still glowing as a sign that his Devil Gene is still active. He cared less about getting pity from anyone regardless of how he is feeling as he is a man of strength who shouldn't falter. Some would be more concerned about the damage done to the table that should be fixed instead of scorching the way it was now. Roy calmed the flames that were on his Sword of Seals down as he felt there was no reason to attack anymore. Polaris on the other hand could pick up a signal from his celestial body that several forces from space were hading their way. The wise black Luma knew this could only mean the rest of the Star Allies finally making their way here. Dedede even picks up a signal from Kirby's special star cellphone that he had stolen as another sign that they were here. Without haste the king would pick up the phone calmly knowing what to expect. The President and GUN Commander listened closely as they wanted to make sure if this were really them and not hostile alien life like the Black Arms.

"This is Dedede speaking, may I ask who is speaking?" the king had asked.

A loud voice would instantly respond, "You big blue buffoon! What are you doing on Pinky's line when I specifically came all the way here for him? Now I will have to find some way to keep this Robobot Armor safe until I find him! Thanks a lot for wasting my time and proving why you are an incompetent king of Popstar"

Dedede is left with his ears shuddering from the bossy voice that yelled in his ears. Everyone else would be left confused at the argument that ensured on the phone, even the most serious leaders who expected someone stronger. Kazuya couldn't help but to turn since he's just as curious about who he was talking to.

"Don't you yell in my ears like that, pink haired robot obsessed girl! I had my reasons for borrowing his phone and I was with him at first. This is a meeting for rulers only and Kirby rules nothing but his dinky little house that he sleeps in all day. Show some respect to Dreamland's only ruler!" Dedede shouts in the phone.

Another voice he would be less familiar with would interrupt their little queer on the same line.

"Business meeting eh? While my daughter may be in charge of my former company, I would like to propose a deal with these natives if possible. But it will cost them since their planet looks richer in resources compared to your low down star," the shady voice said.

The Gun Commander didn't like the sound of this mysterious person's ton at all, especially saying Earth is full of resources and considering the people of this planet "savages". The President grows weary as if these Star Allies were intentionally dragging an alien colonizer here instead of being true help. Dedede is left just as confused since unlike Meta Knight or Kirby, he never truly seen the very Haltman Elite Works company that nearly colonized all of Popstar with machinery in the past. Only being buried under rubble for hours after his forces did little to fight off the Access Ark that obliterated a majority of his beloved castle that time.

"I have no idea who you are, but I was talking to your daughter, IF I were to believe you. And why should we let you in when you don't run the company anymore. The same company that almost destroyed my castle and my planet long ago. You better be lucky I am on good terms with her when she helped take down a threat that would have destroyed all worlds! But most importantly, who the heck are you," Dedede demands.

The man lets out a hearty rich man's laugh in the background of the phone to his confusion, annoying him even further. Many of the leaders as well as the GUN Commander grew more unnerved as well as suspicious by the unhinged laughter they were listening to. The latter especially is growing more and more cautious about the security of this mission with someone proving to be as malicious as the Legion with these bad faith intentions.

"Damn it, this all better not lead to something worse. Dedede, you better get to the bottom of this or you are out of here!" he warned.

Dedede could tell even his own Smash allies were growing more suspicious of him as if this is no mere accident. Palutena in particular gives a rare deadpan serious look, something Pit would never in a lifetime ever see with his own eyes. Nervously, Dedede would think about asking just who this mysterious man was.

"Just who are you? You say you are Susie's old man, right? Tell us you aren't here just to take over the world, aren't you?" he asks with sweat rolling down his head.

"You may call me President Halmann. Max Profitt Haltmann. The once renowned owner of the Halmann Elite Works Company that my daughter Susie was nice enough to take care of for me since my death. My biggest mistake was creating that unruly Star Dream machine that I thought would grant my greatest wishes and desires, only to be taken over by it and get destroyed alongside it thanks to that pink savage. I was hoping I would have been on the line with that fool to scold him. But also thank him for freeing me from being one with that stubborn machine that stabbed me in the back. Anywho, I am coming to this meeting to speak with the leaders of this planet. No resources means I will have to start from scratch since my daughter have yet to build an Access Ark just as powerful or more Yesmen to work as a part of our business. There is this Legion problem you all want to deal with and I would personally want to get even since the galaxy isn't big enough for peasants that think they can rise above the rich and powerful like us. What do you all say?" the man proposed.

Dedede felt he had no Nruff in this race with his lack of familiarity with any of the Hartmann Company other than Susie herself, whom he finds a annoying enough on her own. The suspicions of both the Gun Commander and president were true about him being untrustworthy which neither wanted anything to do with this. This caused a murmur of discussion between all the leading reps in the room about who this person may be. Claude found the tone of Haltmann dehumanizing on top of shady for someone who supposedly wants their help. Lidia trusts this new "helper" even less than Kazuya due to hearing that he colonized planets out of Dedede's mouth as a massive red flag. A fellow business man like Monotoli is torn on this deal as he always wanted a new business partner for Fourside but not if it's someone who's even worse than Giygas as a conquerer.

"We aren't taking your offer at all. What makes us think we will fall for a trick that will cost our planet being taken over by some space aristrocrat who thinks we are lesser beings than him? Forget it!" the GUN Commander shouts.

There would be dead silence on the other line after the man's harsh words and Dedede is unsure of what to say after that.

"Don't forget what I've came here for. Sorry that my temper gotten the best of me as those who truly think my Devil Gene makes me just a human are sadly mistaken. They will get it, but after we ally up. The G Corporation have so much resources if any of you would like to use them, even armies that I've used to fight the Mishima Zaibatsu whether my damn father or foolish son ruled the company. You would have to be truly weak to reject my offer, this will be the last time I'll ask for it," Kazuya begged.

This ball is now in the court of the other leaders who listened to the Mishima's words. Some still are unsure since it was a company used for nefarious purposes and genetic cloning to even consider good ally material. Lidia's thoughts were slightly more positive due to him being right about being a force on par with Yggdrasil and the Mishima Zaibatsu in a global war. But at the same time, having a good army isn't enough to fully convince her that this is a worthy alliance. Unsurprisingly, Edelgard is the only one who happen to agree with this idea.

"If your army is truly as strong as they are, I'll gladly partner with you. Unlike the rest of these people, I truly value strength over everything else. Your forces combined with the Adrestrian Empire should be more than enough to crush the likes of the Legion alone. Don't blame everyone else if they value their morals more than having a desire to truly save their worlds," she said.

Her words struck a mild nerve over everyone else slightly, some more than others. The GUN Commander especially tries his best to keep is cool as anyone who dare make a mockery of GUN, even if they are a queen with a powerful army, should watch their mouth when he's around.

"The motto of the Shining Force is to help anyone no matter what. Other than my forces and team, I have the experience at commanding the right strategies for anyone under my name. You may have done some truly terrible things, but at least your heart is in the right place for wanting to help us. Consider us partners," Bowie said.

"By the power invested in me, the BeanBean Kingdom is within your debt. Cackletta is our one and only true enemy, as well as those associated with her. You are good in our books if you truly aren't with our true enemy the Legion," the Queen Bean said.

"As a princess who's have to make the biggest sacrifices to keep Hyrule safe, consider me right behind your G Corporation. I've lost too many soldiers to the recent attack on Hyrule to be too prideful against a good alliance. Especially if what these two witches say about the kingdom falling in all timelines are true to their premonition," Zelda declared.

"Your past is completely irrelevant to your future. I know about everything you did, but learned that in the end Heihachi is the bigger evil of his entire clan, and perhaps Jinpachi if he's out there too. I have no qualms with our alliance. Besides, your tech just could be what we need to stop the armies and Metal Gears my clones have at their disposal," Big Boss said.

The man on the other side of Dedede's line grew interested in the rise of conversation behind the line and chimes in.

"Yes, resources are what I really need. I'm not sure if you are in charge of here, but I'll gladly come down here if you are willing to help out. I have no interest in ruling any planets since like I've said, my daughter owns everything and kept it all in another galaxy to bother with this one. I know how to build armies, weapons, anything you all need. Just lead me to the source of your resources. I'll pay you all one billion Haltmann bills if it's money you all want. Anything to truly stop the Legion after what they've been doing to the worlds in our galaxy already. I beg you commoners to please accept my offer!" Haltmann says in desperation.

The line is interrupted by someone else, another of Kirby's friends who's known for his beloved them park.

"Greetings citizens of Earth, I couldn't help but to hear you all don't seem to trust us the Star Allies yet. I think I know the perfect thing that could change your mind. Magolor Land will be planning to expand its theme parks to your very planet in due time. But one teenie little problem is that your Legion friends would make it hard for me to get customers to support this new park. Tell you what, I will be willing to help all of you if I am paid actual money. In return you will get Gem Apples. Gem Apples are a truly special fruit that can be grown in many ways. You could eat them to make yourselves stronger, revive fallen allies, or concentrate them as explosive weapons. An offer that is truly too delicious to pass," Magolor announced as if he were pitching a product.

"If it's a theme park you want to build, where will it go? There are seven continents in the world with one being so icy that it would be a waste of money. Not that we will agree to your terms since the theme park industry is truly competitive enough on our planet," the President asks.

"Mr. President, with all due respect why are you entertaining this idea? We have bigger problems on our hands like the Legion than letting some alien build a park to profit off our people," the GUN Commander said sternly.

"But that is the plan, no? You get your Legion problem handled and I can reward all of you with the greatest theme park in the universe. Competition is the least of my worries when the world will know of Magolor to be a hero when this is over. Who wouldn't want to go to a theme park created by one of the Star Allies that saved the day? It's all perfect advertising to expand my business outside of Popstar for the first time. I have enough workforce to pull it off and can call them over here, but that's not to say I am not open for hiring some Earth workers with knowledge of how theme parks work here. Equal opportunity and expanding my work benefits sounds fantastic to help with the declining sales of my business. What do you all say, money to fund the building of this project and deliciously destructive Gem Apples?" Magolor said in giddy manner.

"If your amusement park is so great, then can it top Pina Park? It's the crown jewel of the Pina Island archipelago of Isle Delfino and we get thousands of guests every year. I don't see how your park can top that," Mayor Pianta brags.

Several of the meeting attendees would sigh that some would rather debate on who has the better theme park at a time like this. Several of the fantasy country inhabitants like Bowie and the Fodlan leaders would be utterly confused as they don't have theme parks but instead annual festivals.

"Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind taking me another vacation there when this mess is over and the princess is found safely. She should be the judge over whether this new park is better than Pina Island's or not," Toadsworth said.

"I don't know Magolor, I've been to Wondaria Park in the New World. It may be a bit rough around the edges but it's definitely a romp. The Beast Pack are even revamping it the best way they can to attract more tourists if they ever want more visitors other than yours truly, Meta Knight, Bandanna Dee, and Kirby," Dedede adds to the subject.

"New World? This is the first I've ever heard of this place. How can such an unknown dimension contain a park that dares to think it's better than my Magolor Land?" Magolor said on the phone in curiosity.

"As much as I hate to interrupt the current topic at hand, but we've finally got more company. These must be the new leaders that were said to arrive for the summit," Teanchai announced.

The leader of Adabat was right as a crowd of leaders from various countries and businesses would arrive just in time for the continuation of the meeting. The GUN Commander would make his way towards the special camera in the back of the room that basically shown just who is in front of the White House. The President could trust the militant leader's judgement to be his seeing eye just in case of any emergency. The Smash Brothers would focus their eyes just on the TV screen as well just to see the hubub surrounding the meeting. Kazuya would make sure to get a good look from where he's standing thanks to his Devil Gene's special vision, glowing his left eye bright enough. Several of the leaders grew cautious in case he's planning on launching another laser like previously. The GUN Commander is surprised at the growing amount of leaders who came to speak on the behalf of the crisis in their respective lands. Some of these leaders would be a wide range of humans, aliens, animals, and other varieties of creatures who just happened to receive the message of this meeting.

The following leaders would be Baroness Von Bon Bon of Sugurland, Rumor Honeybottoms of Inkwell Honey Hive, Honey Queen from Honey Hive Galaxy, Cranky Kong from DK Island, Reinhardt from the Trandor Kingdom, Mikhal from the Izumo Nation, Goldark of the Fandaria Empire, Gongos of the Bozark Nation, Papu Papu of N.

As one could tell many leaders caught wind of the private message that was sent through anonymous means as a way to get help dealing with the the Legion. Several of the current summit leaders themselves were left speechless at what they were seeing from the camera footage. Kazuya unsurprisingly scoffs that his half brothers are also getting themselves involved in the meeting when he came here first. Dedede would catch the sight of the Star Allies finally arriving on the same screen with his own eyes. The Squeak Squad had leapt from their airship with grace, all while Adeliene floats beside them on her living Kracko painting. Ribbon managed to catch up with her Crystal Gun in hand, Gooey lumbering his way beside her in his awakened Dark Matter form. Kine drops next to him with very full mouth without a splash. Turns out he was carrying the other animal friends within him the whole time, the fish finally upchucking them. Rick and Nago were the most annoyed that their fur reeked of fish breath, Coo and Pitch trying their best to groom their saliva coated feathers. ChuChu is the least bothered by this as she's an octopus used to this level of grime and tapped her bow slightly. Susie finally lands onto the scene with her special Robot Armor as her father follows behind in his golden prized machine. She still had some suspicions about him despite telling him the truth behind everything and admitting to being his daughter that he wanted to wish for so long. The greedy former Haltmann Elite Works boss had his eyes set on striking a deal that could get him back in business even though he don't mind his daughter being the CEO for a while. Taranza gently floats below curiously but is spooked by the sudden appearance of Magolor beside him. The mischievous blue mage giggled in joy at the spider mage's slight fear of him. He could tell that this was almost everyone he knew so far that could be of help. All except for the Jambastian Cult that long parted ways after Kirby helped cure them with his Friend Hearts.

"We may need a bigger meeting room, or if not some way to keep all this a secret to not draw too much attention from the Legion. I just wonder how many of these people actually know of us when we spread the message?" the President said in awe.

"It could be the help of that same alien that taken us here. He's doing so much if it means an opportunity to topple the Legion over. Then I'm honestly for it if it means having this huge of an alliance," Claude said.

"We are finally here, Dedede. I would sooner rather talk with that pink guy since I have his Robobot Armor again, but that's kept safely aboard the Squeaks' Airship for now. Don't forget that your own home planet is mess because of what you chose to do. But we can both put this aside if you can pull your blue weight around before the Legion gets here. Capiche?" Susie said one last time on Kirby's phone.

"Don't you think I know that? I've sent Dee out there to help for a reason while I stay on Earth. And Kirby is heading for Valua at the moment to protect it from the Legion too. I wouldn't put it past them to split up for multiple locations," he argued.

"I'm afraid the Penguin king is right. I assume of you are all mobilizing for the attack on the President, right?" a familiar goddess said.

Palutena and her teammates turn around to see a small child-like goddess who just happened to warp her way here. From all the assistance she provided through her voice in the skies, Viridi finally appears in the flesh to speak with the leaders and fellow goddess Palutena about urgent news worth spreading. Kazuya could tell just by looking at her that she was more than just a half pint but a true goddess that would be trouble to fight on his own. Based on the arrogant but serious look on her face, she felt it was about time she had to confront the most important beings on the planet instead of playing helicopter goddess for so long now that Hades is on the move. The last thing the Forces of Nature leader wanted was to get the Underworld Forces on her case or lose most of her forces again like the last time they've fought. Several of the leaders grew cautious about another god joining the meeting other than the Goddess of Light that had urgent news for them. The GUN Commander is unsure on whether she should be trusted or not after the sudden entrance of Kazuya earlier.

"Who are you? I don't think you were ever a part of the Smash Brothers," he demanded.

"Well a goddess have important manners to deal with than playing second fiddle to some world saving organization. There is a clear difference between me and Palutena here. Besides, DP is already there to represent the Forces of Nature very well. But that's besides the point, I have some important news to share that involves the Legion. I'm afraid some of you might want to keep your eye on Eggman in the near future," the small goddess said.

"There is no need to. A third of us were send to launch a surprise attack on his mothership to slow down his progress. They all should be returning back to the others safely once it's over," Lucina replied.

"Which failed. Oh I'm sorry, you didn't want to hear that? I saw everything from the clouds. Hello! Even Arlon sent me a visual of everything that happened from the Lunar Sanctum. That egg shaped buffoon isn't playing any games anymore. He's made some invention that can grant him various powers of the Chaos Emeralds on a whim. If he defeated that entire group your Smash team sent, who knows how much stronger he will be if he gets the other five Chaos Emeralds," Viridi beamed.

Lucina almost felt weak just from hearing that her teammates failed the mission. Roy and Chrom couldn't believe what they were hearing either, the former almost getting angry at the thought his allies were defeated easily. Dedede, pale eyed and shocked, couldn't believe that a seasoned warrior like Meta Knight somehow gotten schooled by a scientist like Eggman who is less skilled and not as strong as him in combat. And even worse knowing the Halberd was there along with his Meta Knights crew, he didn't want to think that his entire fleet did little to survive that encounter at all.

"Lies! I know Meta Knight and even he's a warrior I would never best in a fight unlike Kirby. There's just no way that sunny side up fool would even think of besting his skill," he said in slight denial and sadness.

"I also call baloney. That egg shell wouldn't even best any strength competition in the Olympics. What makes this invention so a special that he somehow beat our partners?" Wario questioned.

"Two words, Chaos Control. You know like a certain black hedgehog can do all sorts of crazy stuff with the emeralds? Now that hardboiled egg can do the same but in more dangerous ways with his technology. You are talking about the same guy that almost tore the fabric of time and space with the Time Eater and split the Earth into pieces to free a god of darkness. He finally figured to use the emeralds without needing all seven of them, let alone using many aspects of the Chaos Control's mysterious powers. He wasn't kidding when he said that warship raid that Sonic's friends had done was the last straw. It was even a miracle he didn't even detect where I really was nor did I even expose myself with an astral projection during that day," Viridi explains.

The President and GUN Commander are both left silent after this revelation, this started to startle the other leaders in the room. Both knew too well from their knowledge of the emeralds that only hedgehogs like Sonic and Shadow are capable of using Chaos Control or even drawing from their powers. Machines like Gemerl, Emerl, Gamma, and Mecha Sonic learned to harness the power of any emeralds in the past. But humans were very unheard of as far as beings who could use that power in any way. This is why such a revelation felt almost like some joke to these two men as they've always learned everything they could about humanity's fattest threat for years.

"Oh Viridi, I never thought you would care about humans. I thought they were a greater evil than Hades himself," Palutena teased.

The Goddess of Nature blushed, slightly turning her head away from the green haired goddess from her joke. The GUN Commander still held on to the belief that he shouldn't trust her knowing she isn't fond of humans as a deity.

"That's right, why should we listen to a being that cared less about the state of humans. Or even killed them with one of your Reset Bombs in Greece?" he questioned.

"Because your species were always run by selfishness, greed, violence, power abuse, and other atrocities. Don't even act like your fellow humans aren't without sin. If I recall, the whole attack Gerald planned with the ARK was your GUN organization's own fault. You almost caused the demise of your own planet, think about it. My actions weren't without reason and it was only Dark Pit who told me to lighten up on judging humanity which I can respect. Now we have bigger problems to deal with than just Hades, which is why I will leave humanity alone to focus on helping you all squash the Legion. Maybe if for once you homo sapiens even respected nature for centuries I wouldn't even be feeling the way I do," the Goddess of Nature barked.

"I can't believe that even with Meta Knight's strength and leadership, the mission had failed. I'm not sure how Marth will take these news since he insists it was foolproof of a plan. Our future gets bleaker by the moment," Lucina said.

"The dastard having a few Chaos Emeralds is no laughing matter anymore. We'll have to trust that the Blue Rogues and Team Dark make sure that a single emerald isn't lost to his allied forces," Chrom uttered in worry.

"The positive aspect of all of this is that the ship sustained so much damage that he'll just sit in one spot to repair everything. All he can really do is bark orders to the other Legion members and hope they take the remaining emeralds for them. Speaking of them, three groups are currently on the move as we speak. Some members gunning straight for you, Mr. President. There's no doubt that group is large enough to the point your personal guards or any army won't be enough to hold them off," Viridi said solemnly.

"Lamont had already warned us about that. Which is why we gathered enough firepower from various worlds and timelines to defend him at all costs. Some of them are here already if you would like to familiarize yourself with them," Zelda said calmly.

"How do you know these things? You are a goddess, like our own Sothis?" Rhea asks in curiosity.

"Yeah, like her. We both had a chat often times about how she had to babysit Byleth plenty of times whenever he goes on missions. It is probably the same for his female counterpart from another timeline too," Viridi said.

Edelgard would be the first to stand from her seat immediately upon hearing her former teacher's name.

"You know where he is? He disappeared on us for so long pursuing this church called "Smash Brothers" instead of teaching us any longer. Tell me!" the Adrestrian commander called.

"I would also like to know of his whereabouts. Things went to hell since he decided to leave us all and before Edelgard's army attacked the monastery. He better be alive and hopefully not killed by the Legion," Dimitri said in concern.

"Byleth is fine. Well one of them at least. The male is heading for Valua with the others after they had saved The Lost Hex from Eggman's attack. The female, even I can't begin to know what happened to her after he attacked her entire group during the warship ambush. I could try looking again if you all want," Viridi said.

"Good. I would care less about another version of the teacher I've learned from. But still it's a good thing I have less of a reason to leave this meeting and storm the Legion myself," Edelgard said coldly.

"Another version or not, I'd say both teachers are just as valuable as far as their lives. I would at least want to know how the stunner is doing herself," Claude said in his gentlemanly tone.

"I would agree as well. Just let me know if she is alright, as well as the goddess we all worship," Rhea said with a shimmer of hope.

"Please do, I want to know just where all of our fallen allies had went. Our future depends on preserving all of our peers," Lucina pleads.

The Goddess of Nature would take a deep breath and taps her scythe-like staff to calm down the voices around her. The President raised out one hadn't as well to settle down any noise if it helps with her telepathy. Palutena smiles since it was her time to let her nature loving ally shine instead of supporting everything for once. Roy and the other Smash Brothers would await the answer of the small goddess as she begins using her ability to search the planet once more. She made sure to look through every nook and cranny even the more uncharted places to find every single Smash member she could find that wasn't already grouped with the heroes heading for Valua. She could already see that Peach is held aboard the damaged mothership that Eggman, Bowser, and the other leaders reside in. She's in a special chamber that the heroes never found that is heavily guarded and sealed compared to the Holding Room where other petrified victims once resided. Viridi felt nothing needed to be said about this one due to Toadsworth needing to see that it's suicide for him to try getting her alone. She searched endlessly around the same area where Eggman was attacked before the landing to see just where they could have been. She would soon notice traces of Shadow Bugs as there was only one being that makes them.

There's the flat one. It's bad that he's been reduced to this. But I wonder where it's going to go?

She uses her mind to follow the trail of Shadow Bugs that are drifting off in one direction from the endless winds. They appear to be drifting towards a series of islands that she had never really seen before where a certain cup lived. The Shadow Bugs dipped towards one of the second islands as a flying purple mass to reach its desired destination. The spawn of darkness finally made its way to the famous carnival that was once the battlefield of one of the Devil's debtors Beppi the Clown. Next thing she would see is a hand reach out for this mass that belonged to this infamous clown who happens to be curious of the material.

Alright, I think I found where Game & Watch went. But that clown better not have any funny ideas or I'll have to rain on his parade.

Beppi would grab the mass and begin twisting it around as if he were making a ballon animal with a widest grin on his multicolored face. Viridi's face would grow into disgusted confusion at what he seems to be doing from her distant mental view. Lucina, Chrom, Palutena, Wario, Dedede, and Daisy all grew worried at what could be happening based on her expressions alone. However what would be happening is a miracle for someone from the wacky toon isles as Beppi was only refining overall body make up. He presents the now fully reshaped Game & Watch from his hand to an audience that appears to be watching him in the busy carnival. The 2D creature finally lands on his feet, looking around in a few con fused frames over what seem to have happened since the attack. The cheering crowd would only scream at the amazing trick the clown performed for them, leading him to take a gentle bow at another successful circus trick he's performed. Out of the crowd would be Callie and Marie who hugged the confused Game & Watch now that they were reunited. Viridi sighs in relief knowing well the clown helped fixed the three back into their original shapes. This is especially good for the case of the Squid Sisters as being splat is death for any Inkling or Octoling unless there is an Ink Spawn device to recreate their body.

"I found some of them, they appear in some island full of cartoon beings. It's a miracle some were able to fix up Game & Watch and the Squid Sisters from Eggman's attack. I'll keep searching these islands to see if I can find the others," Viridi said out loud.

"Please do, that;'s good to know. It's a large group and we need to know the exact locations of everyone to see if they survived," Chrom said thankfully.

The Goddess of Nature resumed to her godly search after closing her eyes, looking across the other parts of the Isle for any clues. She managed to pick up even more familiar faces on another island near the same location. This time she would see Alucard, Mugman, and Cuphead fighting together to defend Kap'n's buss from a swarm of Flying Beetles and Bouncin' Beetles that were sent by the Dragonfly for invading his turf. The two ceramic gunners were all too familiar with how this forest worked which explains how they guided him to this location. Alucard slashed each beetle into various parts to prove that he can be deadly when he needs to if any hostile life can't be reasoned with. Unsurprisingly, some parts of the beetles could still wriggle around despite their nerve damage and still launched themselves at the dhampir fighter as a last resort. Ribby and Croaks were having a blast pressuring the Dragonfly with their rapid fire ki punches despite the fire breathing insect's quick speed being trouble for them. Hilda Berg fends off the Woodpeckers that wanted to peck the bus with her deadly Taurus form, charging at the birds' bodies to keep them away easily. Viridi could sense many bodies within said bus which confirmed most of the warship ambush Smash members that came. The only ones missing were ones who were known for space travel or the true powerhouses like Zero and Meta Knight.

"I found most of the others as well. Magnus, Kapp'n, Alucard, Prince Sable, Lyn, Pokemon Trainer, Leaf, Guile, and Vince. From the look of things, half of their Pokemon are missing as if they were separated from their masters. It would take a miracle to seek them easily," Viridi said once more.

"Was one of them a red automaton under the name of Zero? The bug eyed alien was nice enough to show us what happened to him. You will not like the answer," Edelgard said calmly.

"Tell us what happened. We deserve to know his status no matter how bad it is," Roy demands.

Will would be the first to be the bearer of bad news since he respects their dedication to their allies.

"He appears to be under some serious reworking by a scientist named Dr. Wily. He will no longer be an ally but a weapon to be used by the Legion eventually," the 12th Battalion CO solemnly said.

This shocked the fellow Smash members within the room immensely, besides Kazuya who knew a machine like him would be susceptible to this. Some like Roy would try to keep his cool as upsetting that a fellow member is now in the hands of the Legion and forced against their will to be their new tool. Dedede would only shake his head slowly in a sad bow since this is as bad as his own friend Meta Knight losing. Viridi is slightly ashamed that she never picked up on that during her mental search of the ship and Palutena knew that things are only more grave than before. The GUN Commander knew too well that such an advanced machine from the future puts any tech that his military had created to shame, making him a threat that would require Team Dark to handle if he ever confronts him. Daisy could understand such news would be a tough pill to swallow for Mega Man if he were to ever learn of this in any way.

"They will pay. It's one thing to stop us from succeeding in any mission we had planned. But it's another to kidnap and brainwash one of our own for your twisted desires. They will not be getting away with this at all," Lucina said with a mixture of anger and remorse.

"I have the feeling they did this not just to get back at our team, but mostly me for turning my back on them. I have no regrets ever for leaving the Legion at all, but I also won't regret the idea of whacking their smug heads inside their black hearts either. I will not stand for this at all. Zero is more than a robot, but also our greatest ally!" Dedede beamed with slight tears growing.

Meanwhile Cia was doing her own form of searching, but through a time orb she created to act as a visual aid to search for one of the Trifroce Heroes. She had already seen the location of Young Link and the Hero of the Wilds knowing they are safe inside of the allied fleets. Her biggest focus would be pinpointing the location of the other hero, the Hero of the Winds that helped in freeing her from her own evil created by Phantom Ganon. The witch of time searched as far as she could with this time orb just to see just where this bearer of the Triforce could be. Lana would look at her partner's special orb to act as her second set of eyes to seek this bearer. She could barely make out a new location that just happens to be somewhere Palutena is familiar with. The location would be some ancient Greek ruins depicting a peculiar scene with the toon hero. Toon Link, Kat, Ana, and Starry were fending off swarms of Daemons and Larvae that ambushed them. These creatures looked like nothing anyone ever seen before, not like anyone who served the Underworld Army or even came from Inferno. Palutena taken a look at this, dropping her once calm demeanor once she realized just where this could be. Cia scrolled her special ball towards the site of another heated battle that is happening in the same location. The female counterparts of Robin, Byleth, and Corrin were in a deadly battle with a powerful beast that Zeus commands known as the Hecatoncheiries. This multi armed former guardian of the Titans saw these three as trespassers that should be destroyed as it lashed its muscular blue arms in all directions to try crushing the three FE warriors. Unsurprisingly, Robin and Byleth were the only ones to realize that its main weakness were strong wind spells to keep the titanic creature at bay. Edelgard grew more worried to see that this version of her teacher, despite her unfamiliarity, is fighting a being more powerful that those demonic creatures called forth by Those Who Slither in the Dark. Rhea, Claude, Yuri, and Dimitri were more than pleased to see that the teach is still just as powerful as she should despite the separation. Viridi however is unamused that Via managed to one up her in finding them before she had the chance to.

"Those demons and that huge one, there is definitely no mistake that they are a part of the Greek Pantheon. Unlike the one I'm a part of, they have existed for much longer and far more powerful. I've even warned Pit to steer clear of them since he's taking Lucifer there for the fountain of youth," she said.

The GUN Commander knew about the heroes allying with Lucifer's Tyrant forces based on everything Shadow told him in their last contact. He still have no faith in the idea that a chaotic being is worth saving, but felt he could be the key to defeating YHVH since he's known about how consistently both deities fought for eons.

"Yep, that's why I've warned DP too. He's not as foolhardy as your best soldier, but I'm still concerned for him if he cross paths with the stronger demons in Greece. Did I forget to mention that Bethel tried to invite me in their little meeting?" Viridi said.

"Who is this Bethel you speak of? Is it a new enemy we should be concerned about?" The President asks in concern.

Viridi didn't know how to fully explain Bethel nor their purpose in a way that mortals could understand. The other Smash Brothers knew bits about them, but their demon allies didn't fully elaborate on their goal back then. The other leaders were just as curious about what other deities they should be concerned about other than the one the Legion plans to use for multiversal destruction. With a sigh and a brief stop on her astral search on the Smash Brothers, she feels now was an appropriate time to tell them all about Bethel.

"If you all want to know all about them. Listen closely, because this isn't something that can be put in clear words. But pay attention because they can have their own extreme methods of solving problems," she explains.

Little did she know that the entire time they were being watched by the very group they were talking about in another plane of existence. Unlike the Empyrean, this area is more private and slightly low enough to where the strongest deities can hold meetings about the state of the world. Unlike the former Bethel that fell apart from the Nahobino's humiliation of Abdiel, this one is more independent and have no representatives of Abrahamic faith at the risk of not involving any interference from The Creator nor his Law abiding followers. The group of deities all gathered around a special pool of water that they walk upon that serves as the "table" with pink massive lotus petals surrounding their very spots to encircle them. Like the other Bethel, there were various beings that represented different factions of countries, faiths, or continents. A Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and Indian branch still remains albeit with new representations to take over for their former leaders. These deities would be Thor, Isis, Artemis, and Vishnu who had the most seniority of the other newest members who joined them recently.

These would include Erzulie of the Haitian Branch, Ogun of the African Branch, Ometeotl of the Aztec Branch, Alilat of the Arabian Branch, Itzamna of the Mayan Branch, Yurlungur of the Australian Branch, Anahita of the Zoroastrian Branch, Amaterasu of the Japanese Branch and the Amatsu Kami, Huang Long of the Chinese Branch, Baek Young of the Korean Branch, Sedna of the Inuit Branch, Arianrhod of the Welsh Branch, Danu of the Irish Branch, Barong of the Balinese Branch, Inti of the Incan Branch, Rinok of the Filipino Branch, Jarilo of the Slavic Branch, Inanna of the Sumerian Branch, Ahura Mazda of the Persian Branch, Tiamat of the Babylonian Branch, Ym of the Canaanite Branch, Ninhursag of the Mesopotamian Branch, Vivian of the Arthurian Branch, Sakya of the Buddhist Branch, Dagda of the Celtic Branch, Cailleche Bheare of the Scottish Branch, Sage of Time of the English Branch, Lorelei of the German Branch, Patrimpas of the Prussian Branch, Loup-Garou of the French Branch, Pele of the Polynesian Branch, Haokah of the Lokoa Branch, Baykok of the Obijwe Branch, and Malsum of the Algonquian Branch. This special summit was held to discuss the current state of the cosmos as well as how the inhabitants of the most important planet are doing. Some feel their way of handling things don't even light a candle to how the best divine intervention is handled. The main four had done their part recruiting any deities they could to gather around for this meeting while some aren't too surprised with the absentees that rejected their offer or think they can directly help the living beings on Earth. Huang Long lets out a mighty roar to reflect his status as the center of the cosmos of the celestial Chinese beasts. Sakya continues his relaxing meditation as the enlightened one of the group, Baykok chattering his ancient jawbones. Allot feels safe that the Creator knows nothing of her secret ties to Bethel since it's a realm few can access unless they actively find it. Anahita controlled the golden plates behind her body out of boredom with Sedna peering from beneath her long black locks. Tiamat looked down on her peers as one of the tallest demons in the room, the rest of her body being a mess of blue tentacles and bare breasts. The Sage of Time inspects his large clock knowing well the time is currently two thirty pm at fifty milliseconds time. With a sigh and her head up high, Artemis is ready to begin with the meeting.

"Greetings fellow Bethel demons of all branches. We are here today to discuss the dire situation that is happening almost everywhere. Entire realms are collapsing which may force many demons to seek refuge in stable parts of the cosmos. Recently the Expanse realms nearest the Tree of Knowledge have become too unstable for any demon to live, forcing them to leave. Our power alone won't be enough to undo the damage done. Only a truly ascended being like The Creator, who would care less what happens to anyone who doesn't worship him. I will admit to being naiive and helping him once to take down one of our greatest foes Lucifer, but power gotten to his head and he's proven to be no different from YHVH. Your husband is a handful for supporting such a feeble brat, Amaterasu," the goddess of hunting announced.

"He is truly a powerful being. I've tested him by having the boy fight all four of the Celestial Beasts and then me in the end. It's saddening that all will soon fall with him being lost to the dark side of power," Huang Long said.

"As I've once said, those who seek true power unfortunately follow the path of darkness. Once a Nahobino, always a Nahobino. Humans don't deserve the Knowledge they had taken from the gods millennia ago," Sakya said wisely.

"The last I've seen him, he was truly laughing off the idea of anything bad happening to the universe and that things were alright. Perhaps he's too busy toying with that Demi-human that our enemy Lucifer was responsible for making," Alilat said in her robotic voice.

"You mean the Demi-Fiend? He's already had conquered all in another timeline. What business would he have outside of Hell?" Vivian said in surprise.

"Same reason why that fool the Morning Star risen out of his hellhole as of late. But it seems like he's in a weaker state due to some inferior demons that gotten the best of him. Pathetic!" Danu said harshly after tapping her clover staff.

"I was there to act as his agent. It is usually rare when the True Demon ever needed my service. Not that he ever knows what Bethel is or my ties with them," Thor said.

"The Kunitsu Kami appears to have gotten in trouble for the mere mention of our existence. But they were more upset about telling outsiders the true truth of what happened to Tokyo so long ago. It being a mere copy made by the false God that deserved his death," Amaterasu had said.

"I can understand the frustration of your country's biggest city being devastated due to the war of the damned and angels. This is why we have no need for either of them anymore. The original Bethel failed because they put too much hope in Law when they were doomed from the fact their strongest Heralds pale in comparison to a Nahobino unless they become one themselves," Isis said calmly.

"Not to mention their undying loyalty to a God that only sees them as lesser deities in the grander scheme of our reality. The less we associate with such lost causes, the infinitely better," The Sage of Time said as he watched his clock.

"Indeed. A god of the sun would rather shine for someone who truly deserves it and not one who's blind to think having the Empyrean Throne makes him superior to all of us," Inti said while glowing.

"Here here. We would have to find some way to trick him and destroy the throne once and for all. As much as I hate to believe in Nuwa's ideals of a demon-less world," Jarilo suggests.

"That is not an easy task on its own. One would have to surpass a Nahobino in strength to achieve that. My destruction loving accomplice Shiva learned that the hard way when absorbing so much Magatsuhi wasn't enough to keep The Creator at bay," Vishnu said calmly.

"It will be difficult of a task to even think about attacking the Empyrean. But what I would suggest is finding some champions who may have that potential to stop him. I can feel it in my milk," Ninhursag said while placing her hand on her bosom.

"You mean like the last God slayer who barely defeated former The Creator? If all it took was Lucifer to permanently kill him, then I doubt any exceptionally strong human that isn't a Nahobino would be ideal," Innana said.

Dagda didn't like the sound of the mother goddess's words as he took pride in helping Nanashi be the ultimate pawn in his game of becoming the supreme god. However he knew she was right as she is still standing here despite having been killed by him before as a former member of the Divine Powers. Danu knew too well to hold her grudge for the mother goddess aside despite her words as she wasn't far from being wrong.

"All I know is that bastard will pay for everything he's doing. Had Nanashi been on that throne instead of him, he would have solved the problems of fairykind easily. I've last heard from Oberon that he was forced to flee with the other fairies after the collapse of his Da'at. All my work with Nozomi and Dana for nothing," Dagda said coldly.

A remorseful Dagda is a rare sight for any of the Bethel members within this room as they knew him more for his pride and arrogance in making Nanashi the ultimate Godslayer. Danu knew how he felt being a fairy queen herself that could tell Titania and her husband had to make a hard decision to escape their fates.

"But what about the status of the Demi-Fiend? Clearly he isn't insuring the wrath of that Nahobino as we speak," Tiamat wondered.

"It appears he is traveling with several Tyrants towards some sky country called Valua. I wonder what would they want there at all when there's not a single demon in sight yet," Ogun said slowly.

"But most importantly, why are the Tyrants outside of Hell instead of staying hidden? If this is their idea of raging war with Law, then history will only repeat itself. My Loa army will only get full from their souls," Erzulie said while her snakes hissed aggressively.

"It seems the former Creator Baal wants to reclaim his spot as a deity. It would be a foolish move as he's been embracing his demonic state for too long to ever reach former his grace again. He is one to keep an eye out on the most because of his experience, even if The Creator had bested him," Cailleche said.

"Complete with brainwashing some humans into following his cause. This is truly disgusting, like the many Chaos followers that take Luciferianism to heart. They should be purged completely before it's too late," Baek Young said under his draconic breath.

"Should we send some of our forces to take care of the Demi-Fiend and his Tyrant cohorts? They could be the reason behind all realms collapsing," Sedna proposed.

"Not necessary, not right now. I suggest we track down the source of the falling realms first. That hag Ragda better not be reason behind this. Good shall always triumph and evil will fall," Barong said before tilting his head.

"But how will we figure this out? I've searched the endless cosmos and see no main source of what caused it or how it happened. But my memories serves me correctly that immense demonic pressure was building up on this planet and unleashed itself in ways that traversed everything. Even the various Netherworlds to damage them. Truly the work of an exceptionally powerful demon. But that doesn't explain why Lucifer is not in his best shape," Ahura Mazda pondered while stroking his beard.

"tHe OnLy OnE tHaT cOuLd EvEr ThInK oF kIlLiNg Or SeVeReLy HuRtInG hIm Is ThE cUrReNt CrEaToR. nAhObInO wErE aLwAyS tOo PoWeRfUl WhIcH wAs WhY tHeY wErE fOrBiDdEn. He Is ThE sOlE sUrViVoR wHiLe ThE oThEr ThReE wErE eLiMiNaTeD bY eAcH oThEr Or HiM," Yurlungur said erratically.

The rest of the Bethel court would try their best to take the rainbow serpent's strange way of speaking serious. Artemis clears her throat as she had a proposal that's worth getting everyone's attention.

"No matter the case may be, we will do everything we can to save our worlds. It's bad when this will only cause hordes of demons from the Netherworld to flood to other worlds, like this one. There can only be so much chaos when some will simply attack or even devour the Magatsuhi of other living beings. We wouldn't want another situation like Lahmu when countless lives are lost, or like the old Bethel's drastic plan of slaughtering innocents just to prevent more Nahobino. We are better than both, which is why I am the leader that will decide everything owe do. Understand?" she announced.

"The angels were always nothing more than obedient extremists shells that kill for Law and Order. This is why it was a good decision to have this group exclude all that are groveling beneath the Creator's feet. Alilat here will act as our mole to keep up with every move that The Creator does like she always will," Thor said valiantly.

"Fate is always on our side. The only way we can maintain that balance is by doing everything we can to keep true peace, and eliminate the factions of Law and Chaos that abuse their own power," Isis said calmly.

"Those that stand in the way of our goals or align with both extremes will be simply erased to keep evil from plaguing the very cosmos," Vishnu said before playing his famed flute.

The rest of Bethel would be clapping and cheering at the proposition by the main four of the biggest branches, these voices echoed throughout the private realm where no one could ver think of reach them without a Leyline Fount. But what they wouldn't expect is their statement on the Creator being the only Nahobino alive being far from correct. In a desolate area nearest to what used to be the now engulfed Sega Stadium from the beginning of the Legion's attack. Not a single soul seem to have survived since the magic storm had struck it and the same subspace explosion remains. The entire area seems mostly dead and desolate to show the irreparable damage the Legion had done to the world. However there is always that one light to the end of the darkness, or more the darkness to stop the darkness. A familiar winged demon would hover down just to see what became of everything here. But more she is a fallen angel that was once the most devoted of God's angels that still believed in him since his death and the sealing of half the Archangels that fought for him. Many odd features about this angel would be her collar being that of her own split head, a reminder that she was a shell of her former self to obtain the powers of Nahobino if it meant keeping order. Her real face is that of a black horned demon with tear like markings down her sinister red eyes to reflect her stronger state. She also had two pairs of black wings, ones for flight and others to conceal her abdominal region for protection. She couldn't believe that she finally have new life again, but felt a sheer sadness that the Nahobino she's entrusted to keep God's order did little to keep the world from getting this bad.

"It appears we've done little to prevent this. Unless this is the result of another holy war that destroyed more than just Tokyo like the last time. No matter, this is why I have returned and will set things right in the name of God," she said in her distorted voice.

Out of the shadows would be a blonde man around the age of The Creator's human half, Abdiel's entrusted partner that never gave up his faith in her. His glowing yellow eyes is another trait shared by those who are partners of a Nahobino along with the sinister smile to suit his crazed devotion to God no matter the costs. He appears to have been reborn in the nude since his death, now devoid of his defining clothing the lost since dying in the hands of Tsukoyomi and Atsuda. His attitude still rem wins the same as he feel there's a lot to be desired with how out of line the world is despite someone serving as the new creator in their absence.

"Pitiful. This isn't the world God would ask for. These warped spaces, the lives being lost, and this dead land. I really would like to see if traces of Chaos or Neutral remains if we will punish them. Our Lord will reclaim this Land and fix it the way it should!" the blonde boy theatrically said.

Abdiel paid no mind to the bare state of her partner as worrying about his modesty is the least of their problems. Still determined as ever, she really wanted to get to bottom of what this subspace is and how it can be stopped. She could sense no traces of Dragon Blood like any Leyline Founts nor the Magnetite/Magatsuhi that makes up most demons and living beings in the multiverse. She could feel this is truly an unknown substance that can't be undone through normal means. Dazai walks past her to get a closer look at what this purple mass could that stands before him. He paid no mind to the dry ruined earth beneath his feet as his golden eyes still remained focused on the subspace before him. Abdiel would slowly follow him as his personal guardian archangel to see what business he may have with the subspace.

"I can see some souls lost in there. If you follow my lead, we just have to destroy this strange Leyline Fount of darkness to free them. It is God's duty to protect all humans no matter the costs. They don't deserve a fate as bad as this. I have a feeling this is the work of Lucifer, or that demon hating man, or even Yuzuru. All three of them are true evils for thinking the world needs no God or order. This is the result of their ideals, just mindless bloodshed and lives being endangered. Had I known, I'd be rolling in my grave," Dazai said in disappointment.

"Amen. I see you've taken God's teachings to heart even after death, or more my own. I owe you for making me realize what was truly important in life and that's to uphold God's order no matter the costs or sin. If only we had used our full potential on the sheep of Chaos. I would gladly want to rid of Tsukuyomi and his demonic disciple if they are just as alive as we are," the demonic angel said while clutching her black fist.

Dazai chuckled slightly as things are probably the case if they are walking again despite clearly dying from them. As if it were fat ether brought him and possibly the other Nahobino back so they could fight over what's right for humanity in this universe. The two had finally met to the very end of the expanded subspace before them without an ounce of fear. The angel could hear faint roars within the subspace from a being that's comparable to a high tier demon. But she could tell this was no true demon as there were no traces of Magatsuhi within them. Dazai on the other hand would place his hand on the space, feeling the darkness within the palm of his hand. He looked at his partner, trusting that she would be doing the same if their rescue plan would work. The fallen archangel agreed before placing her black clawed hands into the subspace as well. Together they would begin channeling a massive combination of light and dark using all the heavenly powers they could to begin during the subspace before them. The chemical reaction of this would cause the spherical mass to begin expanding in various spots as if it's a balloon slowly getting ready to burst. Their plan is working as they easily knew the strongest of lights and darks can easily undo the subspace. Dazai smirks knowing well his plan is working, Abdiel would only remain neutral with her expression since she's giving it her all. The roaring within the mass would grow even louder as if whatever was inhabiting it knew that once of its main sources were beginning to collapse.

"In the name of the one and only God, I shall purify you of all dark!" the both yells during this moment.

It wasn't until the subspace finally erupts into a rising pillar of light and dark now that it was finally over. This end result would be big enough to cause almost as much attention as the summoning ritual the Legion had caused with it rising into the heavens. Back on South Island would be the sight of two naked males that were rising from the depths of the clear sea. One of them would be a younger man wearing glasses who used to be a good friend of The Creator and other being the human disguise of the Japanese moon good and brother of Susano'o. The dark haired older man knew too well what demon would be associated with such hypocritical dark and light, partially closing his golden god eyes.

"So you are finally back from which you've came. It won't be long until I purge you completely and making this a world where the Amatsu Kami finally rule all more than your irrelevant God. Tokyo is our country and belong to no Abrahamic figures," the solemn moon god said.

Yuzuru looked around in surprise that his high school uniform that he had loved is gone, but knew that modesty is the last thing that should be on his mind when there's a score to settle on who deserves to rule this world.

"Come Atsuta, we have work to do. There's no doubt that we have a lot on our hands with the world not looking the way it should be," he said with his hand held out for his human partner.

The glasses wearing man remembered his purpose very well after remembering how his own friend betrayed him to pursue God's ordeal. Just thinking about it upset him more and more since this could be his chance to fight back once again assuming he currently rules the Empyrean Throne.

"Yes, for Tokyo. For the world. But most importantly a future where my sister isn't on the verge of death anymore. There is no god if she is suffering this much even when he did live. And Tokyo deserves a better ruler than one who's own winged fools slaughter humans like lambs just because they fear the potential of a Nahobino. I am Yuzuru Atsuta, the true heir to the New Amatsu Kami that will rule this universe," he said before finally accepting Tsukuyomi's hand.

Beside him would appear a familiar wolf-like demon who sensed their very presence from the edge of the universe. Hayato would kneel before the two Nahobino partners of Chaos respectfully, Yuzuru being quite glad to see him again after so long.

"Master Yuzuru, I've been awaiting your grand return from death and never given up hope. After seeing what kind of rule the Nahobino had given us in Law's name, I knew well that revolting without help would be a risk. But with you and our leader Tsukuyomi back, that dream of the world being changed may come," the electric wolf demon gracefully said.

"Yes, I am glad you never risked you own life foolishly for us. Now that the three of us are together, we will be needing some help. Maybe gathering the remaining Amatsu Kami to come to our aide. They are the key to giving us the future we deserve," Yuzuru said before clutching his fist.

"That is correct. We still have much to catch up on. I have my doubts that Law or Neutral will be giving up without a battle. But if we can stop Abdiel before she gets Law's help or Nuwa before recruiting Neutral, we just may have a bigger chance at winning. But let's move out while we can. Time can only be so precious under this dying moon," Tsukuyomi said solemnly.

The two stood side by side once again for the first time in a while to continue what they first in waters of the now destroyed Seasonal Shrines would be the sight of another Nahobino duo who just happen to be the ones that resented the sides of Law and Chaos equally for a while. The Chinese mother goddess would be helping up her nude partner out of the waters, the latter fully processing just how he is still living when they died before the Nahobino touched the throne. His golden eyes still reminded as a sign of loyalty to his demon partner but not without sacrifices like the loss of his uniform or famed blade. The man truly felt naked without the one weapon that truly made him an example of what humanity should strive to be instead of being food to the demons.

"Where are we? How are we given new life? Is this an act of God? No, but more my desire to live must have gotten us out of the Tree of Knowledge's endless purgatory," he said in confusion.

"Yakumo, you will have to just accept how things just happen. Just what are the odds that luck won't be on our side to continue our true goal to wipe out all demons and deities from this world. Giving humanity the future they truly deserve to survive as a species. My own beloved creations," Nuwa said with a sly grin as she gazed at her partner's muscled form.

He didn't care about her flirtatious behavior as the one thing that mattered was finding a weapon to be the ideal human that's meant to destroy all demons. Through the waters a floating katana managed to catch the eyes of both of them, but most of all Yakumo who needed to be armed. Nuwa looked at her partner's face as a way to encourage him to continue what was meant to be started with her serpentine eyes looking at his own. He eventually thinks back to how the very Nahobino dared got in the way of their chances at destroying the throne instead of letting any single demon ever ruling it to preserve a better future for humanity. Just thinking about the humiliation their ideal Nahobino form at faced losing to a smaller "inferior" one that wants to protect even the demons on Law's side filled him with a rage he had never felt before. Nuwa giggles in delight knowing this is the Yakumo that she always cared about following that came back to his senses. He reached down to grab said katana despite the wetness from the waters, pulling it out of the river with grace and precision. The next thing he would do is test the blade with his current strength by executing a familiar pose of when he was preparing to attack Nahobino in the battlefield. One swing alone was enough to cleave the already ruined shrine statue that was several feet away from him in half immensely. Nuwa watched as the top half had finally flown away above their heads with more droplets of river water raining over them. The goddess now having a euphoric smile on her face from Yakumo's strength and the latter quite satisfied that his strength remains the same.

"Let's go Nuwa, to cleanse all demons in this world and pave a new future for humanity. We have outlived the need of being killed or bossed around by these cosmic menaces for so long," he said calmly.

Nuwa laughs wickedly and said, "This is the Yakumo that I've always associated with. I can only sense the filthy blood of those other two Nahobino with different goals in mind. Once we crush both, there will be less obstacles in our way of having a throne-free future!"

Cut to the jungles of the former Prison Island would be the status of Olimar who crash landed in the northeastern part of the island. The Hocatatian pilot is still in a state of shock and unconsciousness from the serious fall his Hocatatian Ship had taken from the crash. Unfortunately there are no sign of the few Pikmin Onions from where he landed and neither is the SS Drake that Alph controls. The forest is quite peaceful and serene despite the actual island itself being a toxic wasteland since the prison base's previous self destruction. The sunny weather is even perfect for Pikmin to thrive if any had survived the crash landing from Eggman's attack. All wouldn't be peaceful anymore as a group of Pretas and Slimes would be crawling from a Netherworld portal these used to arrive in this world. Bethel's statement on demons seeking refuge is true as many were looking for a new home to live and alternative ways to feed with resources becoming low. The portly purple spirits were chuckling at the thought that they found their first meal in a good while. Even the green Slimes were more than happy to feast on Olimar while he's asleep.

"What do we have here, a nice snack that's just waiting for my starving pot belly," one Preta said before chuckling.

"Just keep it down you damn lummox! We have been starving for too long for you to ruin our chance of getting food," another shouts at this Preta.

"I DoN'T kNow WhO iS sTuPiDeR, yOu FreAkS oR tHaT mArA jOkE wHo AcTeD lIkE hE kNeW mE?" a Slime complained.

"QuIeT dOwN oR eLsE wE wIlL lOsE oUr OnLy cHaNcE aT eAtInG rEaL gOoD!" another Slime shouts at his partner.

"On a count of three, we will pounce this good meal and eat our favorite parts. Just save the juicy nose or even his left leg for me," the Preta leader said.

"FiNe By Me. LeT'S jUsT eAt AlReAdY. I'm StArViNg!" a Slime complained.

The purple and green demons would slowly surround the downed Olimar quietly as to not alarm their prey at all. The Hocatatian still remains unconscious on his back which gave the demons a sign that he should be on their menu still. One Preta lucky his large purple lips with a slight stomach growl and the Slime gurgles his gelatinous body as if he's ready to digest his victim. The sixteen demons slowly encircled their prey as they drew closer and closer to be at a point of feasting on them, but especially the Pretas as they have a massive appetite that can never be satisfied. Olimar still remains still despite his end becoming quite appoint unless he takes action on these ravenous demons. One Slime had already leapt from his spot to attempt swallowing him whole with his green slimy body. Immediately, the Hocatatian pilot finally awakens to punch the green demon back from attacking him. This left the other Pretas and Slimes surprised that their prey is far from dead after all and not willing to give up easily. The awakened Olimar gave the most devious smile as if he's found the most expensive treasure to show he's more than just weak despite no Pikmin to protect him.

"He just got friggin' punched by our meal! Let's get him!" One very hungry Preta called.

"SlImEs, AtTaCk OuR dIsObEdIeNt MeAl!" a Slime ordered his fellow amorphous allies to attack.

Waves of the hungry demons instantly charged at Olimar to pressure him as fast as they could.

"It appears I have no choice. These lifeforms will have to be studied further," he said with his same grin.

Olimar narrowly dodged a Preta that almost dealt a Bestial Bite to him and a Slime that did a lunge at him. He instantly punched the Preta that almost devoured his head and rapidly spun under a Slime that surprised them from above. The launched Slime would be flying into the air to the surprise of his own peers.

"YoU mUsT tHinK yOu'Re ThE hOtTeSt ShIt? FeEl ThE wRaTh Of PoIsMa!" a Slime shouts before ejecting a poisonous spell at his target.

Olimar saw the attack soon enough to do a high flip over it and could see a few Pretas jumping for him on both sides. Both demons opened their massive mouths wide enough to reveal their sharpest fangs to devour their prey. Olimar narrowly dodged them with an aerial dodge, causing the two Pretas to collide in a hard crash.

"DuStMa!" a Slime shouts before launching a mirage spell at the flying Hocatation.

Olimar knew too well how deadly these spells were due to his experience of dealing with the smog and poison of the native creatures of PNF-404. The Slime is angry to the point his face is comically scrunched up at the Hocatate pilot dodging him.

"YoU tHiNk YoU aRe BeTtEr ThAn Me? PoIsMa!" he shouts once more before launching a new attack.

Olimar already saw a Preta trying to restrain him from behind, only to headbutt him in his face. He thankfully ran before the poisonous smog finally came in contact with the Preta. He chokes on the hazardous gas that came in contact with his face but thankfully wasn't fully poisoned.

"Hey, watch where you're attacking, you slimly dumbass! I could have died!" he shouts at the Slime.

"EaSiEr SaId ThAn DoNe, MoRoN!" the angry Slime barked back at him.

Olimar drop kicked another Preta that could have attacked him and narrowly dodged a Bufu that another launched at him. He barely felt the chill of the ice mass forming where he could have been hit.

"That was a close one, I wonder if that cursed ship can be of help," he said.

He taps a few coordinates on his wrist to activate the fallen Hocatate ship. The ship begins slowly lighting up in various places while obviously showing its damage since the repairs.

"So the little bulb wants my help again? What shall I do for you today?" the ship's AI said.

The Pretas and Slimes all had their eyes on the ship since they never seen such a thing before. Olimar shook his head since this is the same annoying ship that he always has to deal with.

"Bring out the Shock Therapist to send some volts on these persistent creatures!" Olimar ordered.

The ship's Research Pod finally detaches from the ship to float over to where Olimar is as ordered, the demons still staring in awe at the strange machine's function.

"WhAt Is ThAt? SoMe KiNd Of UfO?" The Slime wondered.

"Is this kind of friggin alien we are dealing with? But who cares, let's eat him before it does something!" the Preta shouts.

"How rude of you to assume I am such an outdated machine. Perhaps you invaders need to be taught a lesson on never judging a ship by its age!" the Hocatate Ship beamed.

The Research Pod warps one of the Titan Weevil's former treasures from its tractor beam, being the massive Crookes Tube once used to shock Olimar and The President's Pikmin in the past. The it appears the device is already fully charged and ready to unleashed a powerful shock. Olimar instantly used the jetpack on his back to begin flying into the air before the powerful volts were unleashed. The Pretas and Slimes were too late to jump as the powerful shocks were sent surging throughout their bodies. It's even worse for the Slimes as this is one of their main weaknesses, causing a majority of them to die immediately into a mess of electrical cells.

"DaMn YoU, bIg NoSeD fReAk!" a Slime shouts during his dying moments.

The Pretas would all collapse one by one once the attack is finally over leaving Olimar as the victor. He still remains airborne just to look around to see what kind of new environment he is in. The Hocatate Ship would send the electrical tool back inside with another tractor beam before slowly reattaching the Research Pod on top.

"The creatures are fully neutralized. Now what else may I do for my favorite clumsy pilot?" the AI said.

"Do an area scan, I need to know where we are and if I can find my fellow Smash members," Olimar ordered.

The ship fully reattached itself just in time and begins sending a special signal that stretches across the entire island that scans the entirety of the island. The blue wave is a replication of the ever expanding light emitted by the ship's internal systems, making sure to take note of everything within it. This is how the ship usually learns about the environment around it compared to the Dolphin where Olimar had to initially do the research himself in his own journal. During this can, one of the weak Pretas would slowly climb to his feet despite the internal shock he's received to try escaping. Olimar would keep his eye on him as if he's planning anything funny on his watch.

"We…ju…st…lost…our…onl…y home…so…we…can…'t go…bac..k un..less..that…god…in…the..Empy..rean fix…es…everyth…ing," he begged.

"That is the oldest stick in the book. I may not be familiar with this planet, but I am no unintelligent lifeform like you think I am," Olimar gloats.

"I…it…is…true…thing…s we…re…nor..mal…in..Da…da..'at…until…our…realm…started...to fall..apart… Some purple…disruption…happened… and then…tears…start…ed…to…for…m. Then…ever…ything… start...ed to…fully…colllaps…e and we…all…ha…d to lea...ve or…else…we…would…caese…to…exist," the Preta strained before coughing hard.

Olimar couldn't help but to draw his interest at the sound of the purple disruption. It started to sound very familiar to him as if the storm that somehow happened on this world from the Legion, and got sent into the universe lines up. He started to have some doubts but didn't think the scale of their summoning mishap affected other worlds outside of this one.

"Da'at, mind telling me what that place is?" the curious Hocatatian asks.

"ThE pArAlLeL wOrLd WhErE aLl DeMoN kInD lIvEs, tHe ExPaNsE, tHe NeThErWoRlD, rEaLmS oF mAsSiVe SiZe WhErE aLl DeMoNs AnD dEiTiEs LiVe OuTsIdE oF tHiS oBsErVaBlE uNiVeRsE. YoU dON'T uNdErStAnD," the weakened near death Slime said.

"And…we…will…all…die…of..starvation…thanks…to…you… We can't…help that…we...are always…hungry…or don..'t eat…like humans…do. The Creator...told us…to never step…foot in this world as…long...as...he has…that…throne. But...we didn't…have a choice…when our

homes…were…falling…apart while...he sits…on his royal…blue ...ass and do…nothing. Please…don't kill..us..like you did…to a few of us already," the weak Preta begs with tears.

This was a really tough decision for someone like Olimar to trust the very creatures that saw him as prey like the same hostile lifeforms of the Pikmin's home planet. As a family man and someone who misses being at home, to lose a home hits closer to home for this Hocatate Freight employee. The ship continued its island wide scan search to gather all data that it needs for this exploration mission. The Hocatatian still remains airborne to avoid being too close to these seemingly defeated demons that could turn on him despite their pleas for help.

"PlEaSe, wE oNlY wAnT tO lIvE. jUsT iMaGiNe BeInG fOrCeD oUt Of YoUr OwN hOmE bEcAuSe sOmE jErK iS sLoWlY dEsTrOyInG iT. wE aRe LoSt AnD cOnFuSeD sInCe ThE cReAtOr DoEsN'T gIvE a DaMn AbOuT tHe LiTtLe GuYs LiKe Us. FiNd iT iN YoUr ReD hEaRt To FoRgIvE uS," the weak Slime begged once more.

Olimar still wanted to be sure on if it's right to help these demonic beings out in any way if it would benefit him finding his missing allies. He most importantly remember that the Smash Brothers are all about helping those in need and protecting the wide universe no matter the risks, especially given the gravity of their last big mission being the World of Light incident. On the other hand, he needed help to seek his missing Pikmin allies that hopefully crashed on this uncharted island. The ship finally picks up the data and begins to announce the results.

"We are now located on Prison Island, once location of maximum security for the United Federations military known as the Guardian Unit of Nations. The current state of the island is mass pollution due to abandonment and the self destruction of the base from Doctor Ivo Robotnik. Same island was once the battlefield between the remaining G.U.N. agents and invasive Black Arms species within the last year since the explosion. Several signs of life are on this island: one Koppaitian, hundreds of Pikmin species, some humans, a Homs, a Nopon, a Bomberman, a Lefterian, a Blade, a growing amount of demons from the same origin, some unknown lifeforms of unknown origin, and one unknown lifeform resting in the heart of this island. Be wary of highly polluted areas as they could result in fatality or severe injury when exposed to them. I suggest you bring some help if you'll be able to survive this island," the ship's AI announced.

It was when Olimar realized that while it's possible to at least save Alph and his Pikmin, the sound of more demons and the implied lifeforms prowling the island won't be an easy one if he goes alone. On top of the possibility that he would need some extra help to reproduce more Pikmin if it means gathering the food their Onions would need, especially he recalled a handful of Pikmin dying back on the failed ship ambush mission.

"Oh PlEaSe, I aM a SlImE, sOmE tOxIc WaStE iS NoThInG tO mE iF yOu WaNt HeLp WiTh ThAt. JuSt LeT uS kNoW iF yOu NeEd AnYtHiNg," a Slime brags.

"And because we are still hungry, we can just eat any of these lifeforms that get in your way. If any fellow demons are too strong for us, we can just band together and freeze them. Just think about it, big nose. You have no choice but to have us offer our services since you won't find your friends easily," a Preta said with a wink.

The captain of Pikmin knew too well that they were right as well as his own ship, as much as he hates to agree with it. He lets out a sigh of methane within his helmet and faced the demons once more from above.

"I will let you all come with me on this journey. You wouldn't know your way around without a map which, my ship updated to my wrist device after the area scan. That way we can find everyone and leave this island. I know less about whatever demons my cross my path, so your help is needed. But I will warn you not to eat any of my Pikmin when we find them. As delicious as they look, they are my team and quite helpful for any services on this planet despite their simple minds. Their biggest strength are their large numbers and willingness to coordinate with my whistle commands. You'll see once we find one of their Onions to free them. Just follow me," Olimar admits in a mixture of acceptance and defeat.

The Slimes and Preta instantly jumped for joy upon hearing his words since they'll find more food and be of service to their boss. The Hocatation Ship laughed a little from this knowing the captain will be entertained with this new temporary crew. Olimar would facepalm since the ship's AI is still relentless as always with its snarkiness. With that the group departed from their spot as if they were a small swarm of Bulbmin to act as their backup for the airborne captain. However a series of small shadow beings would appear from the bushes as if they were watching them the entire time. This was what the ship meant about the unknown lifeforms that it had no records of, being agents of darkness sent by Maleficent globally to spread the needed darkness. The Heartlessness disappeared back into the shadows to continue sneaking without a a sound to keep following their potential prey that's departing in the forest. Olimar is slowly flying as far as he could to seek the location of the first Onion that's ahead of him within the next few feet with his demon friends searching on the ground for any signs of demonic activity. A Preta's nose is good enough to seek food as it is to seek other demons of Magnetite since they often prey on the weaker smaller ones when really starved or in large packs. Meanwhile the Slimes slowly crawled across the earthy ground, unknowingly killing any grass or plants beside them because of their polluted bodies. The team knew well what their goal was and how they could benefit each other well. Olimar would have never thought he would command other lifeforms than Pikmin, but knew they were highly intelligent enough that ordering with whistle commands will not be necessary for these demons. He could tell that the radiation levels were pretty low here as the plant life around him look normal and not as affected as he would expect. But he still had to be careful to avoid too much damage as Earth's oxygen is still quite toxic to Hocatatians and Koppaitians alike for good reasons. The signal on his device started to beep more erratically as it could only mean one thing to him.

"Eureka! The first Onion is ahead. There's no doubt the Pikmin has to be safe from the crash. There's a total of five we need to uncover, in addition to two that my partner Alph normally commands," he announced silently.

"Why are we whispering? You have nothing to worry about," a Preta said.

"Because my radar is also picking up a few demons that may be guarding it. This is where all of you come in to distract them while I gather my Pikmin," he replied in a low whisper.

He would be right as a few Pretas could pick up some familiar scents before them with their small purple noses. Their stomachs growled as they knew too well this means a chance to feed their starving bellies temporarily for the trip.

"You heard that boys, we will finally eat. That way our boss can be safe and we won't have to think about eating him," he said.

"I heard that," Olimar said in slight disappointment.

The Pretas shivered that he was able to hear their whispering very easily and keep walking their way towards the navel ahead of them. However what would be happening ahead of them would be pretty shocking. Several Mandrakes would be attacking the Red Onion that landed as if it contained more of their brethren in an a flurry of tackles and Zio spells. The ship is already in a critically damaged state from the crash earlier that Pikmin inside panicked at the thought outsiders wanted to kill them. They almost exclusively never leave any Onions unless beings they familiarize with like Olimar, Louie, the President, Alph, Brittany, or Charlie ever came to their aid.

"Hey, let's crack this overgrown veggie open since it probably kidnapped other Drakes! Keep it coming since it deserves it for trying to attack us when we did nothing," a Mandrake leader said.

"You got it, one cracked red daikon, coming up!" Several of them said before launching a Zio altogether.

More sparks would fly as the ship is now in worse condition the more they attacked it. A loud whistle would be heard that alerted these plant-like creatures to see what could be making this noise.

"Now what? It was bad enough those shadow creatures keep attacking us just for existing," a Mandrake complained.

Soon, he would be kicked in the face by an angry Olimar who never felt so much anger at seeing an Onion in this bad condition. Several of the Mandrakes screamed as if they were modeling for The Scream, with the leader looking angry enough to attack Olimar. Then he would be attacked by a few Bufus the Pretas launched at him to keep him from attacking their boss.

"Stop or else we will be forced to eat you. We don't want to do this, but we are friggin' hungry as it is!" a Preta shouts.

The few Slimes would be ready to cast Dustma if the Mirages were enough to slow them down. The Mandrakes were quick enough to scatter from the mirage spell in time since they knew well what it could do.

"What the hell you think you are doing? And why would you attack your own demonkind for this….thing. I don't know what the heck it is since no human would look like that," a confused Mandrake said.

"Don't you know what a Pikmin is? There are no other beings like you inside and I still won't forgive you for harming that Onion. The chance you had to apologize is over. Demons, take care of these strange beings while I free the Pikmin we need for the journey!" Olimar ordered.

The Mandrakes were still too angry to be in a negotiating mode and prepared to focus on attacking Olimar instead. However a few Pretas would get physical with a few Bestial Bites to latch on their woodland demon prey while they had the chance. The Mandrakes yelped from the bites and did what they could to try defending themselves. Some Slimes already lunged at the few Mandrakes to slowly suffocate them with their green amorphous bodies while they could. The Hocatatian would be slowly starting some repairs on the Onion to fix the damage that already happened to the ship. He is far from alone as a few Pixies would be slowly surrounding him unsuspectedly. They had devious smiles since they knew exactly what to do from witnessing the Mandrake attacks from below.

"What a cutie, with a head that big he would be perfect for our Fairy Village if we still have one anymore," one said.

"But we need to teach him some manners for hurting demons when they are only fighting for survival. Ready when you are, ladies," a Pixie leader said.

Olimar would look up too late and be blown off the Onion with a few Zan spells full force. The damage would give him a small crack on his helmet, causing him to panic as he knew this will only lead to oxygen poisoning if ignored.

Not good, I have to be more careful than leaving myself wide open.

The Pretas and Slimes fought the few Mandrakes valiantly with their best skills. Some were successful in tearing apart the plant demons and absorbing their Magatsuhi to satiate their hunger. The more lucky Mandrakes launched as many electrical attacks at their enemies as possible to defend themselves. Pretas were hurt, but still had the stamina to keep on fighting. The four Slimes that were left were starting to grow weaker since the electricity is too much for them to handle. But thankfully the shocks weren't as deadly as the Shock Therapist from earlier and they keep fighting with all they had. This only encouraged them to lunge and bite as hard as they could to devour more Magatsuhi to heal their wounds.

"Let's not have these pansies beat us. We'll fight them off no matter what to get our boss the Pikmin he needs," a Preta shouts before tapping into his Magatsuhi boost.

His other Pretas would begin to feel that same burst of power from this Magatsuhi overflow, same for the few Slimes that were trying their best not to die. Mandrakes would soon begin pressured by the stronger physical attacks from them as a result or even be forced to fire their Poison Stings at them. The opposing demons would tough out the storm of flying poison needs thanks to this power boost, Slimes mostly since they were even more immune to poison than hurt by them.

"NoW eVeRyOnE! bOoSt ThAt PoTeNtiAl!" the Slime ordered.

This special Magatsuhi skill slowed every demon that's empowered to boost their current potential at maximum power. To demonstrate, a Slime was able to breath a more potent Poise that succeeds in fatally poisoning a Mandrake that was close to attacking it. This poison would be potent enough to hinder the plant creature's will to fight, slowly rating away the flower on its head and darkening the root-like appendages to show how deadly it is.

"I'm dying…please…save..me," the creature said before it finally dropped in defeat.

Another great example is how one Bufu from a Preta succeeds in freezing a Mandrake so much that it becomes brittle enough to shatter upon flash freezing.

"Did anyone order frozen Mandrake?" the smug Haunt demon said.

The few Pixies that were fighting Olimar were healing themselves with Die after he managed to damage them enough. The captain is determined to fend off the feminine fairfolk at all costs to repair the Red Onion for his Pikmin. The secret is that he used an Ultra Bitter Spray to immobilize them with a petrifying chemical before pummelling them. He had learned his last mistake of getting hit, making sure to dodge any wind spell that's thrown at him.

"You are a dirty fighter, you know that? How about make it dirtier!" a Pixie said before gathering magic within her hands.

The next thing she would do is cast a Rakukaja spell on one of her weakest Pixies to help raise her defense. She knew too well that enough spare magic is all she had to help toughen up her allies for dealing with Olimar. He knew to be more careful knowing that the spray won't be as useful anymore, knowing there's one thing left to do. Olimar risked running under side the damaged Onion to call upon the Pikmin he needs for battle.

"Get him, blow that strange creature until he's gone with the wind!" thePixie leader ordered her four allies.

They swarmed as quickly as they could to deal with their escaping enemy with their wind spells ready to attack. The light shown from below the Onion despite its damage to give him the opportunity to quickly communicate with his red soldiers. Their devious smiles and excitement would anticipate the idea of shutting down his plan. It wasn't until a Preta used a Magatsuhi skill called Twilight Wave to launch a powerful blast at the four fairies to blow them away. The attack was severe enough to scatter them in various directions despite their defense boost as it could easily be worse without Rakukaja's effects. Their leader would only be greatly upset that their plan was stopped easily without any effect, pouting almost like some immature child at most.

"No, no, no! I made sure they were more durable, how come they lost? You really leave me with no choice!" she shouts.

She would also start to tap into all of her hidden Magatsuhi for a massive boost of her own. The Preta grew cautious since he knew too well Fairies often have the most tricky Magatsuhi ability of all demon races. Olimar managed to finally call the right amount of Pikmin he wants for battle with waves of small red-ant like creatures pouring from the damaged legs of the Onion within seconds. The Red Pikmin were overjoyed to see their favorite captain again but curious as to what creatures were damaging their beloved ship. One managed to catch wind of the angry glowing Pixie that's a few feet away from her ship. It whined in fright from how intense she looked for a creature no more threatening than a Bulborb. The other Pretas and Slimes would stop their relentless attacks on the Mandrakes to see the Pixie charging. The plant demons would soon notice that they are gaining this same Magatsuhi boost as her, feeling less of that pain and more confused.

"NoW wHaT?" a Slime complained.

The wounded Pixies would begin to feel the same Magatsuhi boost despite their injuries, some struggling to stay away due to the drowsiness of the Twilight Wave. "Fairy's Banquet!" the Pixie shouts. As a result, every demon on her side not only gotten more defense and attack, but are now faster to keep themselves from getting hit. The healing and curing of ailments all lied on the main Pixie while her opponents are confused.

"My sensors are detecting a rise of power. It's a good thing I have this other spray to deal with these demons. I just need you demons to buy some time until I can fix this Onion," Olimar said.

"Easier said, than done. Our Magatsuhi boost will only last for another few minutes, only a few of us can risk Twilight Wave and the green boy's Potential can only boost our ice and physical attacks for so long," a Preta said.

"MaYbE tHoSe WeIrD pLaNt CrEaTuReS cAn Be Of HeLp," an annoyed Slime said.

One of the Red Pikmin chirped while waving its hands to express its excitement. The other Pikmin waved their flowers, buds, and leaves enthusiastically in high pitched chirps.

"That's right, the Pikmin can be of help as I repair their Onion. I can trust that they can assist you in all sorts of ways. Normally I would command then with my whistle, but they can often take action on their own when needed," Olimar said.

He uses his other spray, the Ultra Spicy Spray, to give all his Red Pikmin the needed speed and strength boost to deal with the demonic foes. During this process, the Pixie would already to curing and healing her allies with Me Patra and Dia respectively to prepare fox their next attack. The awakened Pixies and healed Mandrakes were ready for revenge now that they were stronger, faster, and speedier than before from this Magatsuhi boost. The Pretas and Slimes gotten back into action with their one hundred Red Pikmin partners ready to fight. Olimar had already flown away to begin the repairs as fast as he could with no single interruption happening again. The Preta leader stands before his squad valiantly now that things were more serious than ever.

"Let's teach these fairies and pansies what it's like to be hungry. Charge!" he called.

The swarm of demons and Pikmin instantly charged at full at speed before the same charging Pixies and Mandrakes before them.

"Give them hell, this is what happens to demons that are willing to attack their own kind instead of doing what they should!" the Pixie leader ordered.

The two armies had finally clashed in a frenzied battle of tiny proportions, that can be heard throughout the jungle. Further away, would be what appears to be a small squadron of marooned GUN agents that never received contact for the months they were left here. They appear to be investigating a Yellow Onion as if it were a sign of alien life despite its clear damage. Armed with guns and tasers, the men were hardened veterans who had no contact with other life since Shadow had raided this base for his own investigations. They lived off the were native living creatures for weeks and avoided much of what's polluted since the prison base's explosion. One grunt is seen eating a broasted leg of a seagull that they've recently hunted as he awaits more orders from his commanding officer. Beside him were two other GUN soldiers who were just as ready as other recon units were sent to further explore the remains of this desolate island. Ahead of them would be a tough as nails hardened man with short brown hair and a scar on his eye as a mere reminder of his last big mission that may had lead to their current marooned status. It's no secret that the toxic waste and explosion of the base made the island uninhabitable for them, but this was on top of their conflict with the Black Arms before their deaths when Super Shadow destroyed the Black Comet that brings them life.

"Keep searching men, we will find out if this ship here is what's left of the damn black aliens or at least another hostile race that's allied with them. We may have no way to contact HQ or others due to communication loss, but we'll do everything we can to keep ourselves alive. We are soldiers and not prey. We will fight until the day we die! Keep searching and report back to this exact location if you found another good source of water that isn't contaminated! The Tick Troop shall not perish in the name of Abraham Towers. Understand, soldiers?" he announced.

"Yes sir! Captain Bridge, sir!" His fellow soldiers replied with a salute.

Several gun toting agents would still surround the beaten Yellow Onion that has yet to fully resurface yet. Another group would already have another campfire ready for more seagull and boar to roast so no a single man starves. Some were lamenting that they have some way to contact their highest leading Commander or decryption unit Frances to inform them of their whereabouts. Some were already setting up more of their camp with handcrafted hammocks or tents made Fromm the material that they could harvest. Other soldiers were preparing traps on the southeastern side of their "base" to ensure any other wildlife they could find or even possible intruders that come to their location. One soldier came running back with grave news for Captain Bridge looking frightened as if he's seen something that came from Hell itself.

"Captain! Captain! I've spotted something unlike anything on this island! Everyone, to arms and get ready to fight!" he cried.

The annoyed captain would turn his head to see w3hat the commotion was about, a low growl heard from his disapproved scowl.

"Private, this better be good! I will have you know that this better not be some imaginary monster and something with living proof like this strange alien ship we are guarding in the name of GUN," he barked.

He fell over instantly before the Capatin in a state of fright and shock, getting the attention of his fellow soldiers that wondered what gotten him all afraid. Some felt quite unnerved by his erratic shaking and panicked expressions as if he were experiencing some trauma that gotten him this shellshocked. His superior would look down on him intensely as he is serious about wanting a good reason or answer on why everyone should be on the alert.

"Well, tell me. What is the reason that we should get to arms?" he demands.

The frightened soldier didn't want to think back to what he had seen when he explored with a few soldiers as the experience was too traumatic for him to recall. The last image he seen was one of his soldiers losing their own sanity when something came out of their chest as a result of some creature attacking him. He sobbed uncontrollably the more he thought of that event, spazzing his body uncontrollably as if he's imaging the same happening to him.

"B….black creatures…killed our…men…ripped…out…some….heart…shaped…essence….they aren't….like…the black…aliens…we've…once fought…here. Nooooooooooo! No no no no no….I don't want to lose my heart too. We have to avenge our…fallen. This island…is hell!" he cried in
agony and sadness.

This slowly confused and even alarmed some of his peers at the thought they were far from alone on this island after the Black Arms had died some time ago. The Captain had a feeling that there's a reason behind his behavior and he deeply sighed. His honor is as important as the safety of all GUN units here which he will not take the idea of anyone dying lightly at all. He eventually turned to the soldiers that were still standing about-face to await their next orders with this new problem at hand.

"Men, take this man away to camp for therapy. Everyone, let's all prepare to gather our weapons. Whatever these creatures are, they will not get away with terrifying or taking way the lives of our men again. They will go to the same place where the black aliens had went when we meet them. Prepare to move out!" he announced coldly.

"Yes sir!" they all replied before scattering toward their bunkers and tents for weapons.

He would watch his men all gather everything they could get to prepare moving out for these mysterious creatures that traumatized the man. Some soldiers slowly escorted him to a nearby hospitality tent to get the treatment he need and recovery from something that horrifying. From inside the Yellow Onion, many curious Yellow Pink would be wondering what appears to be going on at all with their large ears picking up all sounds. They mewed and squeaked altogether since there's little way to get the Onion from its current state due to the severe damages done to it. What little they knew is that they were under constant watch and surveillance by a group of GUN agents that see them as possible hostile invaders. The western parts of the jungle would see a familiar blue haired Koppaitian captain running as fast as he could through the dense vegetation. The young captain appears to be in danger as some creature is pursuing him intensely unlike anything he's seen on the Pikmin's planet before. He huffs and sweats beneath his helmet as he ran with every ounce of energy he has to avoid the creature's wrath. Massive feet stomping and a massive pair of horns, he would fully encounter the first of a unique kind of monster unlike the rumored Shadow Fiends he's heard of. Alph finally leaps into an open area in the jungle before tum bling away in a mess due to losing his footing. Soon after, the massive being finally reveals itself as a Behemoth that leaps right above him in an attempt to crush him. This lumbering powerful Heartless is among the few Emblem ones that is quite strong for its size and almost comparable to that of a Darkside. Alph screams and quickly taps on his jetpack to launch himself backwards to avoid being crushed. The creature finally lands to send a powerful shockwave in his directly regardless that destroys various trees in the process. The impact sends him flying straight into a faraway palm tree that bends from his weight as a catapult preparing to launch him back. The Behemoth instantly charges a massive ball of energy from its tiny horn to prepare another one of its deadly attacks. Alph's eyes popped even further at the fact that this tree could launch him back instead of somewhere safer.

"No tree, do not launch be back. Please do not launch me back," he begged.

The Behemoth finally unleashed the energy within his hour to create a shower of fast moving energy balls that would be raining all over the open field, even directly above Alph in an attempt to destroy him. Here he would be praying that the tree do launch him at the beast to save himself from being incinerated by the powerful energy balls.

"Please launch me at the big beast, I'm begging you. Please launch me away from being reduced to atone," he pleased silently.

A heavy running could be heard behind him from something big, the ground shaking slightly. The Behemoth still showers its deadly energy attacks all over the jungle as long as it stood there. Alph panics as he fears another creature could be coming to destroy him despite the energy ball falling directly above him. A massive roar could be heard that almost sounds like an angry hippopotamus that startles Alph and confused the large Heartless that's already attacking. The man finally reveals himself as the morbidly obese king of Hippo Island that leapt at the tree before him with his belly into the air. Alph seemingly popping his eyes out in immesndse shock at who he is.

"Who the heck are yooooooooouuuuuu!" he screams.

The crown wearing boxer would already be donning his special manhole "shield" taped to his chest since his Title Fight with Little Mac, deflecting the beam directly back at the Behemoth's tiny horn. The burst was powerful enough to stagger the beast from attacking any further, slowly kneeling its m massive body in pain from the powerful ricocheted attack. Hippo look down to see that Alph is still too scared stiff to move and snarled at him to let him know that he's coming down. The Koppaitian captain slowly crawled away in fear while he could to avoid the heavyweight boxer's crushing weight. The tree finally gives up and bounces the two directly at the Behemoth's head at high speeds. Alph screams comically with tears in his eyes as King Hippo laughs with his famous Ear Clamp head crush the Heartless's horn. The Heartless could see what is about to happen but is too hurt to get back to its feet for a retaliation at all. Alph finally collided with the horn accidentally with his helmet with a hard slam that knocks him away for King Hippo to finally deal his deadliest attack to both sides of the horn. This attack was powerful enough to slightly crack the horn even more, causing a loud growl from the creature. Hippo finally falls back to the ground in a large thud before the Behemoth to continue the fight. Alph however would fly towards what appears to be a Pink Onion that's submerged in the ground and hits it hard. He would be too dizzy to notice that he just happened to find the location of his beloved Pink Pikmin. The tiny fluttering Pikmin inside were scrambling in fear within the ship as if something is attacking them. Alph stumbles around in a temporary daze as if he's imagining Winged Pikmin fluttering around his head while Hippo continues to taunt the weak Heartless before him. Things would be temporary as the beast finally awakens from its trance and attempts goring the obese boxer with its horns. Hippo was lucky that only the tip managed to graze his manhole cover slightly when he dodged the attack. It was now the Behemoth's turn to attack as it begins charging a massive electrical attack known as Thundaga to try destroying the arrogant boxer that dares to harm its only weakness. The dizzy Alph bumped into the Onion again in his trace, but finally gotten back to his senses thanks to it.

"What is this…oh an Onion! That's perfect since Pikmin are what I need to win this fight," he exclaims.

He is happy to see at least one of the Pikmin types managed to survive the fall and the perfect ones to deal with large foes that have a height reaching weakness. King Hippo jumps directly at the Behemoth's head ignoring the clear danger of his own attack and took the risk of another Ear Clap, but this one was the Ear Clap Combo where he dealt two heavy blows to the horn once more. The beast finally fires the high voltage attack at King Hippo to fully shock him with immense power to cause him to roar loudly. This roar could be heard from the rest of the jungle on its own this time which many birds would fly away in swarms from fright. The Tick Squadron of GUN would already be heading in that direction to deal with the beast in question without any suspicion of the Heartlessness that are already spying on them from the shades of the vegetation. Even a victorious Olimar and his demon troupe would hear this despite the fallen Mandrakes and Pixies that were defeated in the struggle. His Pikmin were already carrying whatever bodies they could to the Red Onion to produce more Pikmin seeds with a good forty already killed in the conflict.

"What the hell is that? I know that isn't a demon since I can't sense anything familiar from that direction," a Preta said.

"Must be one of the unknown creatures my ship mentioned in its area scan. I really have to in vestige this if any other Pikmin Onions are under attack," the Hocatatian captain said.

The Red Pikmin would already be alerting their captain that more Pikmin have fully sprouted for him to pluck. He turned to see about a good forty sprouts can be seen from the earth for him to rip from the ground when needed. Some would sheepishly tilt their heads to the side or stretch their antennas as if they were awaiting a new order.

"If we will make it, I need you Pretas to help me pluck all Pikmin out of the ground. The Slimes will have to sit this one out since their toxins could be too deadly for them," he said.

"Oh SuRe, BlAmE uS fOr HaViNg A pRoPeR dEfEnSe MeChAnIsM," A Slime complains upon hearing his words.

"You heard the boss, we can't mess things up for him if we're forgiven. Just watch these fairies and pansies in case they have any ideas of attacking us," the Preta said.

The four Slimes would obediently watch the few living Mandrakes and Pixies left despite their disgruntled feelings on the matter. Olimar and the Pretas had already gathered around these sprouting Pikmin to quickly pluck them out of the ground as carefully as they could. The remaining Red Pikmin would curiously watch their defeated enemies despite being told not to reproduce too much as there's limitations of how much Pikmin can really fly inside of each Onion. The same Pixie leader would be slowly limping herself up despite being too hurt to fly again as if she wanted to say something. One Slime caught this and wondered just what she plans to do.

"DoN'T yOu DaRe MoVe A mUsClE, fAiRy! I'M wAtChInG yOu!" he shouts.

"I'm…not going...to do anything…rash. I'll have you know that I am only a messenger here to gather supplies for…the New Fairy Village. Losing our home in…Da'at was hard enough….for our king and queen of the fairies. So that's why we were here to gather supplies….with the Mandrakes for help. You all attacked us and gave us no way to explain ourselves…you must feel very proud," she said in pain.

"YoU aTtAcKeD oUr BoSs wHo SpArEd OuR lIvEs WhEn He NeEdS tHeSe PiKmIn CrEaTuReS tO sUrViVe. A hOtShOt LiKe ObErOn ShOuLdN'T bE tHe DeSpErAtE oNe WhEn He RuLeS a KiNgDoM," the Foul demon barked.

"A kingdom..that no longer exists anymore. The water became foul, the air was hard to breath, and most of our home became inhabitable due to the realm collapsing. The Creator wouldn't give a second thought about anyone who isn't on his side. Even he is unsure if he could confront him in The Empyrean," the fairy replied.

"When our biggest protector Finn McCumhail lost respect in him, it just shows how dire our situation is. And he was willing to serve The Creator in any way before he had realized that blue haired asshole allowed all Da'ats to fall apart," a weak Mandrake said.

"In actuality, this is all the doing of the Legion at hand. I am not sure if this Creator is supposedly the God revered by this planet, but I have any doubts that he was responsible for anything that happened here," Olimar said after plucking a few Pikmin out.

"Legion? I doubt a group of those demons would be enough to cause this trouble when their leader Lucifer had been in hiding for so long," a Preta said.

"No, you misunderstand. The Legion of Subspace are the same ones that caused a magic storm that ravaged this planet after a summoning attempt. It caused catastrophic results like bringing back the dead of all beings. Some say it laid waste to other planets include ones that I had traveled to somehow. Perhaps my calculations could assume that it somehow affected other realities in the same way Galleem and Dharkon had done previously," Olimar replied after pulling another Red Pikmin.

"What are they human? I would doubt weaklings like them would ever cause problems this bad for demon kind. This really has to be some kind of joke," the Preta laughed out loud.

"Summoning attempt, huh? Hopefully they weren't summoning demons since you need a truly good summoning program or deity's assistance like Sophia to be successful at doing so," a Mandrake said in exhaustion.

"Never…forget that humans have the potential to be a threat to even the strongest demons. Don't forget that Nahobino other than The Creator exists. Gods have long lost their Knowledge for a reason and humans have been bestowed with it for centuries since they ate the Forbidden Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Some may seem weak now but I've heard stories of Mesians, truly powerful humans that grew stronger naturally or with a hint of godly power without the need of becoming a Nahobino. Dagda, one of our strongest fairies, once told me a story of his former partner who was a class of his own. A Godslayer that could rival that of a Nahobino," Pixie said after recovering the strength to fly.

"The True Demon is another example, but Lucifer made him a truly powerful foe through a special demonic parasite called a Magatama. The Demi-Fiend is someone you don't want to mess with, no matter how strong you are. Only The Creator had bested him in battle regardless of his monster strength," another Mandrake said.

Oilmar is unsure on where to start or what notes to truly take based on what he has learned about the humans and gods of this planet. Another roar would be heard once more that slightly frightens the Red Pikmin into a slight frenzy. The other demons surrounding him would be just as confused since it's the same being they can't identify is still at large. Olimar blew in his special whistle once more to straighten up his red men into order. The Mandrakes still haven't gotten used to the shrill sound of this whistle despite their own screams being just as bad. Pixie would use this time to start healing her allies while she could.

"You all take out whatever that non-demon is. We'll think about what to do after we heal. We aren't enemies anymore and have a mission to fulfill for our fairykind," she said.

Olimar could understand well that they have their own problems while he has his own to seek the remaining Smash allies and missing Onions with Pikmin on this island. The Slimes would turn away from their ex-captors to await the next order of their new boss. Pretas secretly hoped that this monster is edible as they were still hungry as ever.

"Alright, troops. We have a beast to take down. Perhaps that could give us the answers we seek about Prison Island's current state. Move out!" the Hocatate Captain orders.

He whistles once more to alert his fellow Pokémon to follow him into the dense jungle before them. The Onion would remain where it is for safety purposes until it's time to leave the island. The Slimes and Pretas followed the red swarm before them to avoid being left behind. However something strange would be happening with the Onion after it had processed the Magatsuhi that makes up a demon's anatomy, or more the end result of it producing Pikmin seeds overall. Black sprouts would appear as if they were similar to the Magatama parasites themselves that slowly grew from the same spots. The Pixies and Mandrakes were too busy healing each other to focus on the strange phenomena occurring under the red ship. The first of the black sprouts would reveal a pair of wings like that of a Pixie and another would be screwing green amorphous matter similar to that of a Slime. Then some would be sprouting into a fully bloomed flower like that of a Mandrake's head and several were growing the purple rugged hair Pretas were known for. Whatever these strange sprouts were are a byproduct of using demon corpses for the first time in an Onion's Pikmin reproduction system. Alph relentlessly directed his Winged Pikmin swarm to attack at the Behemoth's horn after dodging his shower of energy balls without fear. What used to be a frightened captain is now an un stoppable force now that he knows too well how to deal with this imposing Heartless. King Hippo is still out cold from his last shock but safely carried next to the Pink Onion as ordered by Alph. Due to his weight being twice the mass of a 10 Pellet, it took around twenty Winged Pikmin to get the job done with their strength and powerful wings. They would move him any time beams were to rain upon him for safety.

"I have no idea what creature you are, but you will have to go back from which you came instead of seeing us as food. Keep attacking at all force!" the blue haired Koppaitian said.

The creature is in too much pain to fight back with these smaller targets being too fast to touch and fewer options to attack. It even knows that for every Thundaga, Alph will always order the Pikmin to flutter away and follow him until another opportunity is open. The horn is now barely standing anymore with so much damage done to it atop the blue creature's head. The Behemoth lets out one last sorrowful roar in an attempt to call for more help. The shadows that were once normal for the trees instantly started to move from their spots in an unnatural manner. Alph noticed this and jumped in fear since that's not normal for any shadow. He is right as the Shadows instantly started to form swarms of Heartless of various kinds that are here to support one of their lead commanders. These ranged from threats like Shadows, Darkballs, Invisibles, Wyverns, Angel Stars, and Defenders who were surveilling the entire island at all times. Alph knew too well he would have no choice but to change targets with these shadowy beings being set on targeting him for his heart with one pack of Shadows running straight for him in the shadows. He quickly whistles for his handful of eighty Pikmin to head in his direction for defense. Then Invisibles could see where they planned to go and aimed right for the pink Pikmin. A few swings would be enough to kill half of them easily in a mass of fluttering pink ghosts flying from their dying bodies. Only forty remained to assist Alph while the other twenty were still holding King Hippo's downed body to protect him.

"Oh no!" he screamed before dodging the black foot soldiers that leapt for his body.

He knew that risking anything physical could cost his heart if he wasn't careful enough. The Behemoth would only breathe heavily in its damaged state to watch its Heartless brethren deal with the small annoyance. A Defender lunged its sentient fanged shield at Alph in an attempt to devour him, which he narrowly dodged. An Angel Star fired a volley of light blasts at him to try destroying him. He had to dodge every single one while also dodging the few Shadows that tried to jump for him. His remaining Pikmin swarm finally arrived despite the initial few being killed in the process. They relentlessly attacked the Shadows with everything they had to defend Alph. However, the deadlier arsenal of these Heartless like the Defenders' shields, Angel Stars' beams, Invisible's swords, and Darkballs' darkness blasts made it harder for them to survive with the numbers they had. A Shadow succeeded in pouncing on Alph from behind, forcing him to whistle for Winged Pikmin flew for his safety while others were too preoccupied with the other Heartless that pressured them. Slowly more and more of them fell victim to stronger attacks that ended their lives. Several Pink Pikmin finally latched on the Shadow to pummel it before it had a chance to touch Alph's heart. He thankfully survived while hyperventilating about how close to death he was. But it wasn't until a few Defenders blocked him from thinking about running away as their shields snarled at him. He slowly backed away only to see some Darkballs get behind him as well. The few Pink Pikmin that tried to help had bigger problems like the Angel Stars and Invisibles that pressured them. King Hippo is still too hurt to awaken from his defeat that the few carrying him had no time to assist him. Alph felt he had no choice but to fight which he charged head on to attempt pulling a punch. One of the Defenders instead did a shield attack, which the dog-faced creature did a deadly headbutt that cracked Alph's helmet slightly. He could feel a slight feeling of the methane quality he breathes dropping due to the slow input of oxygen that could be fatal to his lungs.

Not good, not good. If only Olimar and the other Pikmin were here. There's too much enemies to deal with and I'm nothing without my main crew. Brittany. Charlie. I am sorry to fail you both.

Before the Shadows could pounce him one last time, they were instantly frozen by a powerful set of ice spells instantly. Several Red Pikmin would be thrown at the Defenders to instantly attack at their vulnerable bodies. Some Darkballs would receive this treatment with no way to teleport after the pain they are being dealt with. A familiar whistle would be heard to order around his Slimes to lunge at the Angel Stars with their slimy weight to ground them. Red Pikmin attacked every Heartless left and right with no issue thanks to their stronger strength of the species. This would leave Olimar who had a team of ten Red Pikmin to throw at the Behemoth that slowly recovered. He felt no intimidating due to dealing with far larger predators on the Pikmin planet before. The angry Heartless would prepare to stomp the Hocatate captain and his Pikmin before it until some Pretas attacked at its chest with some Bestial Bites. This couldn't hurt the best but it did give enough force to slowly tip the quadruped monster onto its back. As a last ditch effort, it would charge one last Thundaga that it could launch into the air. Several dead Heartless would already be carried away to the Pikmin Onion to revive their fallen allies by the few living Pink Pikmin. Alph is left shocked that this much help appeared to protect him from losing his only heart thanks to Olimar and the demons' efforts. Some Slimes had already gulped down the Darkballs whole to satisfy their hunger and the few Angel Stars were chomps away in a mess of darkness by the ravenous Pretas. Red Pikmin were completely beating the other Heartless into complete submission until they lacked the will to keep fighting. A few Pink Pikmin would slowly get him back to his feet now that they had the chance.

Invisibles and Wyverns would be too busy being pressured by the Preta's Bufus and Bestial Bites to focus on their weaker pink prey. The Behemoth would finally launch the Thundaga into the air before it finally lands on its back with a massive thud leaving one last problem for everyone to deal with. King Hippo slowly awakens from the commotion with a confused growl, the boxer finally nothing that he's floating in air with many Pikmin carrying him above the ground. He yells in fright since he's not used to being g this high up, which the Pikmin slowly carries him back to the ground now that's awake finally. He eventually looks forward to see that the Behemoth was already defeat and so were the few Heartless that demons and Pikmin were pummelling to death. But what really cause his eye is the large ball of thunder slowly falling towards them from above that the Behemoth launched as a desperate final attack. He finally jumps from his spot to warn everyone of what's coming for them. He emits a serious of concerned growls and roars to try getting their attention. Olimar would be confused as to what the hippo-like boxer was trying to say, tapping into his device for a translator option. The message would appear on his device telling him that, "He needs to look above. That thing will destroy them all with his powerful lightning ball." Just hearing how frightened his small squad of Red Pikmin were would allow the caption to finally look up. His eyes popped in surprise at what's several feet away from killing them all.

"Everyone, fall back! You too, Pikmin!" he announced before blowing his whistle once more.

The Pretas and Slimes would be forced to end their feast just to save their own lives from death, some Heartless being left too weak to try escaping the attack. Many Red and Winged Pikmin alike would be scurrying away from the site as fast as they could and drop what few bodies they couldn't scavenge for their Onions. Olimar quickly grabbed the hand of Alph to drag him along while he had little time to recover from his hit. The blue haired Koppaitian is happy to be saved, but also grew concerned that his experienced savior also happens to have a crack in his own helmet. The two knew too well that they can't take any risky hits anymore as long as they are on a planet that's literally uninhabitable for their races. King Hippo is glad that they were able to understand him and turns around himself to make a run for it while he could. The few weak Heartless would only be inches away from death with one last regret to fail their mistress. The brightness of the Thundaga made it impossible for them to seek refuge in any shadows for escape, even the Darkballs had no energy in them for teleporting. The Tick Squadron of GUN finally arrived at the site of the crime just to see the ball of thunder heading their way. Captain Bridge knew well the safety of his men were far more important, and made a run for it.

"Fall back men! Safety protocols into the bushes!" he ordered.

The other soldiers soon followed as fast as they could before the Thundaga had finally hit the ground. The end result is a massive explosion of lightning that quickly expands and echoes in a loud electrical mess that can be heard throughout a portion of Prison Island's jungle. The crackling dome expands slowly to shown a bright blue upon the surrounding trees and forest life below, with flocks of frightened island birds fluttery away from the attack. The heat would soon eclipse of that of a highly average summer day after what just happened. The ground would slightly rumble from the attack that knocked the Yellow Onion from out to the surprise of the GUN soldiers that guarded it. Yellow Pikmin tumbled around in a panic from the tremor that disturbed their peace. The damage to the yellow ship is still in critical condition to fly on command anymore and still bent above the soldiers that were startled.

"What just happened? I hope the Captain isn't dead. All hope is lost on ever escaping this hellish island if we lost him," Parr said.

"This thing finally awakened. It doesn't look like tech from those black aliens. But it's still not something we shouldn't keep guarding. Do it for the captain," Herman said.

These two were rookie GUN soldiers that had recently joined the ranks of the Tick Squadron. Being marooned on the island and barely serving the Black Arms war here gave them both enough trauma to last the century. With guns shaking and aimed aimlessly, the two fear stricken soldiers wondered just what they could do with the barely functioning Onion.

"There's no coincidence this thing moved after whatever at our men taken their fall. What if these things are all connected. I'd say we have to blow this thing up since HQ will never find us anyway, Parr beamed.

"And get the captain on our asses like hot water? No thank you! I would rather follow his orders until the very end. Besides, whatever is inside this thing will never leave it. Or it could be just remote controlled from far away," Herman insinuates.

"Are you daft? This thing just moved on its own after a tremor just happened. There's some dangerous beings inside and we need to get rid of them. GUN doesn't need to know a thing. And besides, this will make up for not bringing back those black aliens or that damn hedgehog Gerald created. That's one way to make sure that crazy old man's dream of getting revenge on the world never happens," Parr shouts in his partner's face.

"Or maybe we need to take the orders above anything else. Bringing this thing home with us should be enough to please the Commander and everyone else waiting for us back home! So don't even think about it!" Herman shouts back at him.

The two would slowly bicker together as loudly as possible underneath the large yellow tuber ship like two friends fighting to no end. The one hundred Yellow Pikmin could hear this arguing from inside of the Onion seeming more confused than annoyed as to what the human soldiers were talking about. All they could do is await when a captain, Olimar or Alph, could come to their aid sooner than later. In the southeast of Prison Island would see the debut of one of the newest members of the Smash Brothers who just happened to find a fallen Shulk that crash-landed near their camp. She appeared to be a warm hearted individual who just happens to be a being called a Blade from a universe parallel to his own. Her striking red hair and almost fiery flashy attire are things many think of whenever they see this female Blade. Being the fire half of the Aegis, Pyra is a kindhearted individual that always wants to help those in need.

"I never thought I would see you again. But you seem to have taken a toll with those injuries. I hope Rex don't mind if I bring you in for help," she said softly.

She slowly lifts the blonde Homs careful out of the body of water, his body coming in contact with her above average body heat. He is too unconscious to feel exactly what's happening to him or his face being covered by her bosoms for that matter. The whereabouts of Riki are unknown which raised more questions of what happened to him or how the two were separated during the fall. A voice would begin talking to Pyra mentally that is none other than her original true identity.

Are you sure it's alright to be taking him in? We wouldn't want to cause any problems with our Driver, or that Mechon girl for that matter.

"It's fine, Mythra. Maybe there's a reason he came here alone. The trip here mustn't be kind to him. Or we have greater enemies out here than anticipated," the red Aegis said.

It seems so. I've already felt traces of beings that are not of this world. Maybe it's the Heartless beings that newcomer Sora talked about. What reason would they have being in this world? Things aren't really adding up.

"I can only imagine. We did miss out on the Smash meeting some time ago due to our own problems with Torna. Malos's disappearance seemed too convenient that the two of us and Rex had to come here. I wonder what he is really after if he's lost all interest in Alrest," Pyra said in a worried tone.

There you have it, loads and loads of content. Before anyone have questions about how the Slimes and Yurlungur speaks, that's how their dialogue is depicted in SMTV and possibly future titles featuring them. This is similar to how I have Mewtwo speak with a unique font to set himself apart from everyone else. But back to the real details of the story. The other Nahobino are finally appearing, including the ones Demi-Fiend is tasked to find in three days if it means Law forgiving his actions. The President and Lamont were successful at sending a message to other kingdoms and companies all over the globe and universe to gather all the forces they need to discuss defeating the Legion at hand. We will finally explore the whereabouts of the missing Smash members that were separated by Eggman starting with Prison Island where the Pikmin captains are scattered. Newcomers Pyra and Mythra discovered the body of Shulk to nurse him back to health while they can. The next chapter will really get crazy since the Smash Brothers and GUN maroons are far from completely alone on the abandoned island. The next chapter will get there when it can, so hopefully you all can be patient for the wait. See you soon.
