Smash Mansion
Right now Red is in the Monster Sanctuary trying to train a few Bulborbs.
"Hmm...I wonder how should I approach this ?" Red started by giving simple commands like walk or sit, and the Bulborbs obeyed successfully.
"Thanks to Ganondorf's magic these things are completely tamed, but deploying them in battle like Pokemons do ?" Red tries to throw a pokeball at the Bulborb, it converted to energy and went inside the ball just like any other pokemon, however it broke free soon after.
"I knew it, the pokeball doesn't recognize the Bulborbs as pokemons, i wonder if they need specialized pokeball like Ultra Beasts does ?" Red grabbed the pokeball and put it back to his bag.
Red then pull put a tablet from his bag. "According to Olimar Pikipedia Bulborb method of attack is pretty much eating it's prey."
As Red trying to figure a way to bring out Bulborbs potential, he's so deep in thought he didn't see Blue approaching him.
"Hey Red." Blue tapped Red's shoulder as he let out a scream, surprised by Blue's sudden appearance.
"Blue ! When did you get here !?" Red still felt shocked that his rival approached him out of nowhere.
"Just now, man you really focused on that tablet huh ?" Blue pointing at the Pikipedia.
"Yeah, I wonder if we can utilize these creatures like Pokémon do, so far the Bulborbs can only eat their prey, or licking it, but doesn't seem it's tongue can paralyze anyone." Red reminded of the lick move which can paralyze it's prey.
"They have a large size, why not teach them body slam for starters ? You know, take advantage of their latge body." Blue gave Red a suggestion.
"That's one way to look at it." Red agreeing with Blue.
"Anyway Red I'm here for a different reason." Red is surprised as he turns to face Blue. "You think there's a mole among us ?"
"How did you !?" Red is caught off guard by this sudden question.
"I overheard you talking to Mewtwo after the sleepover, and I suppose I know why you haven't tell anyone else." Remarked Blue.
"I can't just sound the alarm like that, if there really is traitor among us, it will put them in high alert." Answered Red.
"I figure as much, of course Green and I obviously not in the list of suspects considering we've been inside that blob monster until your otherworldly friends rescued us." Remind Blue.
"I know, i'm not suspecting you and Green, we're rivals, but I know you won't go so far to sell your soul just to beat me." Red expressed his trust on Blue.
"Obviously, so you have any idea who could be a suspect ?" Asked Blue.
"Not yet, Mewtwo already read everyone's mind, but doesn't seem to be anyone, either there was never any mole and Jupiter was just trying to sow doubt among us or the mole is already trained to evade psychic detection." Red give his answers.
"But it doesn't changed the fact that it was no coincidence Jupiter waiting for you at the top of Bell Tower right ? Like she knew that's where you headed." Said Blue.
"Yeah, but everything after that, i don't know, Mewtwo can't even find it, Espeon can't find out either, I was hoping to figure out the mole before everyone discover that there's a mole among us." Replied Red.
"Okay, I get it, look since I now know that there's a mole among us I will help you figure out who is it." Assured Blue.
"Thanks Blue, but first can you help me out with these Bulborbs ? I'm not sure how to train a non pokemon creature." Red having a hard time trying to utilize the PNF native creatures.
Overworld
Deciding to visit this world is Ike, Mr. Game and Watch, Marth, Pac-Man, and Sylvando.
"So this is the world Tails means ? Everything does looks...blocky." Ike touching the stone formations that looks perfectly stacked.
"It does look perfectly stacked and symmetrical looking, quite an odd world we stumble into, well at least it's better than that world inside the mural I got sent into." Said Sylvando.
"You went to a world inside a mural ?" Asked Marth curious.
"Oh yes, it was terrible, a monster disguised as a little girl tricked us into entering a ruins where the mural is and trapped us there, the place is filled with monsters, and nothing but empty void beyond." Sylvando told the rest of his companions about one of the time of his adventures.
"Oof, that must be a very dreary place, at least there's a clear blue skies here, even though the clouds does look blocky as well." Pac-Man looked above the skies.
"We should go look for the Beanstar, it should be somewhere around here." Ike pull out his golden plate and begin searching for the Beanstar.
As the heroes keep walking soon the radar on Ike's golden plate start beeping. "This got to be the signal that the Beanstar is nearby !"
But immediately the golden plate stop beeping.
"That's weird, it stopped beeping." Ike looked confused.
And then the golden plate start beeping again.
"What is happening here ? It's like the Beanstar doesn't stick in one place !" Ike grown frustrated.
"Maybe the enemy already here ?" Speculate Pac-Man.
"Well whatever it is we have to hurry, let's just run forward !" The heroes not knowing where to go just decide to run forward.
"Ike ! Is this the right way !?" Asked Marth while running.
"I don't know, the Beanstar keep appearing in different places !" Answered Ike.
"This is getting us nowhere, if we can go airborne like Cetacea then maybe we have a better scope of the area." Sylvando's words turns out give a certain someone and idea.
Hearing this, Mr. GW had an idea as he transform into his octopus form and grabbed everyone with his tentacles and start flying upward.
"Good thinking Mr. GW, now with this we can see things from above." Pac-Man complimented Mr. GW thinking. Mr. GW placed the four heroes similar to cardinal direction so that they can have a better view.
"Hey I see something down there !" Marth who is placed 'north' saw something and caught everyone's attention. A swarm of black humanoid figures running amok.
"What are those ? Are those the natives here ?" Questioned Pac-Man.
"I don't know, but those things looks scary and menacing." Said Marth.
"Over there ! That one is holding the Beanstar !' Ike pointed at one of the creature holding something green.
The creature then disappear...and then reappear, and disappear again.
"Is that teleportation ? Is that why the Beanstar doesn't stay in one place ?" Asked Sylvando.
"How are we suppose to catch something like that ?" Asked Pac-Man.
"A native must know what these are and how to deal with them, we should look around and ask some villagers or something." Suggested Ike.
"Agreed, Mr. GW let's find some settlements and land there." The heroes decided to ignore the Beanstar and tried to gather information first.
Smash Mansion - Monster Sanctuary
With the help from Blue the training went well. "Well we know now what they're capable of, but do you think it's enough ?"
"What else to do ? It's not like we can give them new powers or something...hold on Red have you tried using a Technical Machine on them ?" Asked Blue.
"A TM ? No, I haven't, will it work though ? I mean these are not Pokemons." Replied Red.
"Then there's only one way to find out." Blue put his bag on the ground and unzipped it, he opened what's it like a case and pull out a disc like object. "TM06 Toxic, since almost every Pokémon can learn this, might as well try it."
Blue placed the TM on the Bulborb's head, however nothing seems to happened. "Doesn't seem like anything happen."
"Then this proves it at least, that TM are incompatible with non Pokemon creatures, i guess all we can do is make the most of their innate abilities instead." Stated Red.
Red and Blue then do just that, making use of the Bulborbs innate ability to fight properly, teaching them cooperation with one another, using their size to overwhelm their enemies and so on..
"Well I think we made a lot of progress with the Bulborbs, now i believe we earn ourselves a break." Red and Blue decided to take a break from the monster training and return to the mansion.
Smash Mansion
As the pokemon trainers return to the mansion they stumble across Wario who is carrying a large sack.
"Hehe heh...I a-make another killing today, the gold coins i get is much more than yesterday, I wonder what's next...hmm ?" Wario stated at Red and Blue.
"Hey Wario, where have you been ? And what's this about gold coins ?" Red being suspicious at Wario.
"Oh, this ? Just uuh...doing some business, if you don't a-mind, i'm a very busy man." Wario walk fast to get away from Red and Blue.
"What was that about ? If anything that makes Wario more suspicious." Commented Blue.
"I know, and what is this business he spoke of ? Could he be the mole ?" Questioned Blue.
"If he is we need to get to the bottom of this." Red and Blue decided to spy on Wario.
Overworld
The heroes discovered a settlement as they fly above the skies using Mr. GW octopus form.
Mr. GW then descend down and revert to his humanoid form.
"We should start asking questions about this place." Marth lead the others into the village, and on the way they saw a large figure walking towards the village.
"A-a Golem !?" Exclaimed Sylvando.
"You know this thing ?" Asked Ike.
"No, but we encounter similar monsters in my world during my travel with Erven." Answered Sylvando. "There's one species made of gold even !"
"Well whatever this thing made of we can't let it harm the villagers, we have to defeat it !" Marth lead the charge against the golem like creature.
Ike swing his sword and firing blue flames at the Golem, this in turn caused the Golem to turn it's attention to the heroes and seeing that their armed, it decided to fight back, thinking the heroes are a threat to the village.
Marth raised his Falchion up, a light magic circle formed under the golems feet and the Golem is blasted by light magic erupting from the magic circle.
Sylvando walked close to the Golem, fighting it at close range. "Hi, just so you know I've dealt with your kind before."
The Golem regained it's composure and about to smash Sylvando with its fist, however the performer danced away to avoid being hit, the Golem keep on smashing but Sylvando able to dodge every hit, and without realizing, Ike, Marth, and Pac-Man already close.
Marth used his light magic to move in light speed and slash the Golem repeatedly, Ike uses his strength to give a hard hitting attack on the Golem, Sylvando cast Oomph magic in Pac-Man as he used Super Pac-Dot shot, a more powerful version then the normal Pac-Dot Shot, enhanced with Sylvando's magic the impact is more devastating than usual, the blast creating a hole on the Golem's body.
And for the last attack Mr. GW used his tentacles to bind the Golem and tear it limb to limb, finally defeating the creature.
"We did it, the people are safe now !" Exclaimed Pac-Man.
And right on cue the villagers did approached the heroes, but rather than thanked them they all look angry.
"Everyone you're all safe now...hey what are you ?" Marth said to the villagers, but they gather and yelled at the heroes with gibberish, and at that moment the golden plate translating for them, allowing the heroes to understand the villagers.
"Who are you people ! And what have you done !" Yelled the villagers
"But we saved you, this Golem is.." Sylvando tried to reason with the villagers but then realized they made a big mistake.
"This Golem is our protector ! And now who will protect us from the Endermans !"
"Endermans ?" Ike looked confused, he looked at the others but they had no idea what Endermans is either.
And then as the villagers complaining, two different looking figures walked towards the crowd, one looks like a man wearing a green shirt and blue jeans, and the other is a red haired woman.
"What's the commotion about ?" The man arrived a the crowds and saw the destroyed Golem. "Did you people did this ?"
"Look, we're very sorry for what we did, we didn't know this thing is a protector for this village." Marth apologized on the heroes behalf.
"Still, it's impressive that they're able to take down the Iron Golem, Steve since this is a misunderstanding, why don't we just rebuilt the Golem." Said the red haired woman.
"Alright Alex, I'm also curious about these people as well." Steve turned around to the villagers and assured them that he and Alex will rebuilt the Golem, the crowd then dispersed and accept Steve's help.
While working Steve and Alex started asking questions to the heroes.
"You people look different where are you from ?" Asked Steve as he placed the materials needed to build the Golem, 4 iron blocks and a pumpkin to be precise.
"Umm..well we came from a...faraway place from here." Answered Marth.
"Hmm..." Alex sound suspicious. "Could you be from another world or dimension ?"
The heroes look surprised, but they don't want to involve the citizens of this world, the heroes tried to divert the topic.
"What makes you say that ? Traveling to other world ? It's just..." Before Sylvando can continue a group of the black humanoid figures seen approaching the village.
"The Endermans ! You people hold them off while we rebuild the Iron Golem." Alex and Steve begin working as the heroes fend the Endermen off.
"So this the Enderman they speak of, the same creatures we just saw earlier, alright we'll finish them off !" The heroes then prepare for another fight.
"They're weak to light and water...which is odd since this is broad daylight, anyway they also can teleport, always watch your surroundings and dont look them in the eye, doing that will provoke them." Alex explain what she knows about the Endermen as the heroes ready to fight.
The Endermen teleport near the heroes, Ike quickly swing his sword horizontally, slashing several Endermen at once, catching them off guard, Marth used his light magic to move at a very high speed and slashing the Endermen at rapid succession, Marth move too fast the Endermen have no time to teleport away.
Sylvando tried to fight using his sword, however the Endermen he's dealing with keep on teleporting, so he's unable to land a single hit. "Ugh, these things keep on teleporting...I wonder if..." Sylvando sheathed his sword and begin to strike a pose. "EnderGentlemen ! Feast your eyes on this captivating dance !" Sylvando tricking the Endermen with his dancing, which turns out to be a technique called Fuddle Dance, the watching Endermen suddenly suffer from headache and confusion, and at this moment Sylvando grabbed his sword once again and slaughter the Endermen around him.
Pac-Man also suffers the problem Sylvando faced earlier, that the Endermen keeps on teleporting and hitting him, and teleporting again to avoid retaliation from Pac-Man, and with that Pac-Man unable to fight back. "These things are annoying !"
As Pac-Man at a loss on what to do, he seemed to have remember something. "I think I know what to do !" Pac-Man grabbed his golden plate and teleport a pen. "My magic pen ! This should do the trick !"
With his magic pen Pac-Man begin drawing chains around the Endermen, restraining them, as the chain is a magical construct the Endermen can't teleport away from the chains.
"I haven't done this in a while, i hope I'm not rusty." Pac-Man using a power he hasn't used in a long time, he shoots fireball from his mouth at the Endermen, engulfing the creatures on fire and killing it.
Mr. GW a 2D being able to phase in and out of dimensions to dodge attacks and slammed the Endermen with his tentacles, only by transforming his arms, as another Enderman abiut to hit him, Mr. GW teleported away, both Mr. GW and Endermen engage in teleportation battle where both keep avoiding the others attacks, remembering that Alex said the Endermen are weak to water Mr. GW shape-shift into a cloud and pouring rainwater below, killing the Endermen he's fighting and scare the rest.
Mr. GW return to his default form as the heroes finished fighting, a few Endermen however return and ambushed the heroes but then the Iron Golem do a lariat like spin and knock the Endermen away, now victory is assured.
"Not bad, i'm impressed by how skilled you are." Steve complimented the heroes. "Anyway let us introduced ourselves, I'm Steve and this is Alex."
"Hi there." Replied Alex.
"Hello, my name's Marth, and these are my companions, Ike, Sylvando, Pac-Man, and Mr. Game and Watch." Marth introduced himself and his companions.
"Those Endermen we fought earlier, were they always this dangerous ?" Asked Ike.
"That's the thing, they usually not hostile unless you look at them in the eyes, but for some strange reason they have been rather aggressive lately." Answered Alex.
"Not to mention their sightings have been more common as well, did ssomething happened at The End ?" Steve stroke his chin.
"The End ?" Asked Marth.
"It's a dimension where the Endermen came from, but because of their teleportation ability they can be anywhere they want." Added Alex.
"Do you think someone is controlling them ?" Asked Pac-Man.
"It's possible, but we have no evidence to back up that theory." Replied Steve.
"Hey Pac-Man, that thing you use earlier, what's it called ?" Marth pointed at Pac-Man magic pen.
"This is the magic pen, I once used it to defeat the Ink Master, I haven't used this in a long time so I forgotten about it." Answered Pac-Man
"Then the next time we see the Enderman with the Beanstar can we count on you to deal with it ?" Asked Marth.
"Of course, I won't let it escape, with this magic pen I can block it's teleportation power." Boasted Pac-Man.
"Great, that's one problem solved, but now how are we supposed to find the Beanstar ?" Asked Sylvando.
"The golden plate isn't making a sound, guess we're not close to it." Said Ike.
However at that moment the golden plate begin to beep again.
"It's making a noise again, is the Enderman we saw earlier here ?" Sylvando looked around his surrounding.
"Yeah ! Over there !" Pac-Man pointed at the hill nearby.
"We have to after it !" Marth move at lightspeed to chase the Enderman, Marth successfully pinned it down, but it teleported away.
"Marth ! Don't just run away in your own !" Ike and the others run after Marth.
"Sorry, i was being impulsive." Marth apologized.
"Where'd it go now ?" Asked Pac-Man.
"It's over there." Marth pointed at the bottom of the hill. "It looks like it want us to follow it.
"This could be a trap." Ike is getting suspicious.
"What other choice do we have ?" Asked Marth.
"Looks like you people need a help." Steve and Alex approached the heroes.
"Look Steve, we appreciate your help, but there's no need for you to get involved in our trouble." Said Marth.
"If this problem concern our world then it is our problem, and we can't just stand by and ignore it." Remarked Steve.
"There's no need to worry about us, we're no stranger to combat and we know this place like the back of our hands, and if anything you need us more to guide you." Said Alex.
"That Enderman doesn't seem to move at all, it stays in that location." Said Alex.
"I believe it's trying to lure us there, we need to be careful." Warned Steve.
However, before the heroes can make their move someone ambushed them from behind, Pac-Man and Sylvando got slashed from behind with a sword.
"What the !" The heroes turn around to see a hooded figure standing behind the felled Pac-Man and Sylvando.
"Warriors of Fallen Stars !" Ike ready his sword, but an arrow stop him in his tracks, soon the heroes bombarded with arrows from their left and right sides.
The arrows have stopped, but then two horse riding figures swoop in and flanked the heroes, as the two surrounds them.
Sylvando and Pac-Man got up, and as Sylvando tried to retaliate against his attacker, another figure appear, this one looks more burly and blocked Sylvando's attack.
Next, three more figures appear, but unlike the ones attacking the heroes the three seems to be magic users as they summoned creatures to attack the heroes, one summoned green creature, another one summon a zombie like creature, and the last one summoned an Enderman.
"Creepers and Zombies !" Alex pointed at the green and zombies.
"The creepers will explode if they got close to us, everyone we must escape !" Ordered Steve.
"Zombies are very persistent when they set their sights on a prey, and also...how are they appear in broad daylight !?" Exclaimed Alex.
"H-hold on, I can use the golden plate to teleport us out of here." As Marth tried to tinker with his golden plate, two more figures appear and used the black plate to cancel the golden plate teleportation usage. Another figure who seems to be another magic user conjure a tornado surrounding the heroes, preventing any means of escape, and soon the Creepers entered the tornado easily as they protected by magic and begin exploding, knocking the heroes unconscious.
The End
"Mmmgh..." the heroes opened their eyes one by one, as they look at their surroundings they realize they're not in the Overworld anymore, but in a black void with only floating islands as landmasses.
The heroes found themselves chained, however none of their equipment seems to be taken away.
"Where is this ?" Asked Marth.
"This is The End, where the Endermen originate from, however Endermen aren't the only thing living here, there's a being called the Ender Dragon as well, and she's a very dangerous creature.
"So you finally wake up." A figure teleported in front of the heroes, alongside the hooded figures earlier. The figure spoke to them is none other than Ashnard.
"Ashnard, what a coincidence that we encounter each other again." Remarked Ike.
"Is it though ? Have you ever thought that someone on your side might leaked an information and I decide to personally take part in this mission, knowing that i will meet you again ?" Ashnard intending to sow doubts among the heroes.
"What are you talking about ! Leaking information, are you implying there's a traitor on our side ! There's no way any one of us would do that !" Ike respond angrily.
"Whether you believe me or not is up to you." Ahnard just shrugging Ike's reply. "Remove the restraints."
One of the hooded figure pull out a key and and unlock the chains restraining the heroes.
"You letting us go ?" Asked Steve.
"Not quite, have you noticed I didn't take anything from you ?" Ashnard asked the heroes.
"Our weapons are still with us ? Wouldn't it be better for you to stripped our weapons away ?" Asked Sylvando.
"It would, but that would be boring, after all how are you going to enjoy the games I set up for you ?" Ashnard further taunting the heroes.
"What games ! We don't have time for this ! And I can say the same to you !" Yelled Marth.
"You may not, but I do, that Enderman carrying the Beanstar piece, we already took it and send it to our headquarters, after all every Enderman is already under our control thanks to the mages in my employ, if only you didn't leave to go someplace else, we would've met sooner, oh well my mission is complete and I have free time, and so I came up with this game, the rules are simple really, to achieve victory all you have to do is defeat the hooded figures, and once they're all defeated, face me as the final opponent." Ashnard pointed at the hooded figures.
"They succeed, that means our mission failed, let's just leave, there's no need to entertain this psycho." Ike tried to pull out his golden plate only to find out he didn't have it. "My golden plate ! I don't have it !"
The others also search around only to find theirs are gone as well.
"If you want your golden plate back then defeat my subordinates, if you want to leave this place you have to play my games." Continued Ashnard.
"Are you insane !? There's a fearsome dragon living in this world ! The Ender Dragon would notice the noise we made here !" Exclaimed Steve.
"Then you better seize victory fast if you want to leave this place." Ashnard smiled maliciously.
"Theres no reasoning with him, looks like we have no choice, fine Ashnard we play your games, the faster we're done the sooner we leave this place." Declared Ike.
"Hahahaha I know you accept, I have you know they are not easy to beat, but you would know that, after all Ike they are your families." Ashnard's words sounded ominous as Ike realized his fears.
Soon Ashnard ordered the hooded figures except for two to remove their hood, one by one removing their hoods, revealing them to be the Greil Mercenaries.
"Soren, Mist, Boyd, Oscar, Rolf, Gatrie, Shinon, Titania, Rhys, Mia...I knew this day would come, but..."
Marth then assured Ike. "We can get through this, remember we will save your friends and families."
"You're right, Marth I know it must be hard for you to fight your former comrades back at the ship, I have to steeled myself as well, there's always light at the end of tunnel, we saved Cpt. Falcon before we will do the same to our friends." Ike steeled his resolve.
"Really touching speech you two, but there's two left still hooded." Sylvando pointed at the two figures.
"I think I know who they are." Ike faced to Ashnard. "The remaining two are my parents is it Ashnard ? Greil and Elena."
"It's that obvious is it ? Fine Greil, Elena remove your hood." By Ashnard order Greil and Elena removed their hoods.
"If I weren't under your control Ashnard I..." Greil voiced his anger at Ashnard.
"Youd better off under my command Gawain, and here I thought you'd be grateful your sword arm is now healed, now you can fight at full power again as you used to." Taunted Ashnard. "Now Ike, as the man who defeated me, surely fighting your old comrades isn't a difficult task."
"I know this day would come Ashnard, the day where i must face my comrades, I will play along to your games, but know that you can't shatter the bonds we forge easily, and mark my words, i will save my family !" Ike pointed his sword at Ashnard.
"We shall see, now Soren just like what I ordered you to." Ordered Ashnard.
"You will pay for this you Mad King." Soren used his magic to teleport the heroes and the entirety of Greil Mercenaries to different floating islands across the End.
"Now, now is that a way to talk to your father ?" Ashnard Smirked.
"You're never a father to me, should I ever be free from your control I will go after your blood !" Soren then teleport away.
Smash Mansion
Suspicious of Wario, Red and Blue decided to spy on him. "If Wario's the mole it should be easy to expose him right ?" Asked Blue.
"It should be, I'll try to contact Mewtwo." Red project his thoughts into Mewtwo who receive the message.
Mewtwo teleported to where Red and Blue is and agreed to join them.
As Wario walked around the mansion Red, Blue, and Mewtwo follow him. And in order to avoid making noise Mewtwo open a telepathic channel between the three of them.
("Where do you think he got that sack of money ?") Asked Blue.
("Who knows, either he stole it, or selling something to get it.") Replied Red. ("Well Mewtwo ?")
("Mmm...all I got is he's selling the power ups back in his world, that's where the money came from, you know the one that Mario finds in Earth.") Answered Mewtwo.
("Do you know who he sells it too.") Asked Red.
("All I see, is the Mushroom People, the Toads, he didn't seem to sell it to anyone else.") Answered Mewtwo.
("Is that so ? But he's still our only lead, we will Questioned him either way.") Continued Blue.
The trio followed Wario until he returned to his room.
"He's back to his room." Said Red.
"He did just finished work, I don't think he's ready to work some more." Added Blue.
"Then this is our chance, let's get to him." Red, Blue, and Mewtwo opened the door and entered Wario's room.
Wario's Room
"Freeze !" Shouted Red as Wario is so shocked by the sudden entrance he dropped the coins he's counting.
"What the ! What's the meaning of a-this !" Wario clearly unhappy with the trio barging in. "You made me lose count ! And trespassing to my a-room !"
Mewtwo closed the door with it's telekinesis.
"Alright Wario confess ! Where did you get that money !?" Red pointed at the sack in the table.
"Fine I a-guess I can't hide it any longer, I've been selling the power a-ups Mario find on Earth to the Toads, I a-mean look at them ! They don't stand a chance against Fawful and his a-minions." Answered Wario.
"You...really do that ? Red is feeling rather stupid. "Then why do you run away when we asked earlier ?"
"Yes ! And uhh...you might get a-mad I sold the power ups..." Answered Wario sheepishly.
"You know we haven't really need to use those things since we already have our Pokemons, getting involved in battles personally is I don't know...dangerous, we don't have fighting experience like you and everyone else do, that's why we command our Pokemons to do the fighting for us." Said Red.
"If you're not making money at our expense we won't hassle you for it." Added Blue.
"Making money at your expense ? What, did you a-think I'm selling information to the enemy or something !?" Wario felt offended by this remark. "I have a-you know, as greedy as I am, I won't sell us out to the enemy ! I want to a-enjoy my riches and if Galeem's return put an end to it, I don't see why I would help our enemy !"
("Alright we apologize for suspecting you, it's clear the money you made isn't from a transaction that would put us in danger, we shall take our leave now.") Mewtwo, Red, and Blue left Wario's Room.
Smash Mansion
"Well Wario told us the truth, so who else is our list of suspects ?" Asked Blue.
"Bowser ?" Asked Red.
("The enemy took Bowser's Castle and his army, I doubt he would beg to the enemy just to get them back.") Answered Mewtwo.
"Wolf ?" Asked Blue.
("Doubt it, as a criminal as he is, Wolf care for his teammates, after the enemy brainwash them I doubt Wolf would cooperate with them.") Answered Mewtwo.
"Taking them hostage is also out of the question since you know they're already brainwashed." Added Red.
"Ganondorf ? Although he's not here at. The moment." Said Blue.
"He did say he wanted to atone for what he did, but he could still be a suspect as well." Replied Red.
("I still have something else to do, if you figure something out contact me.") Mewtwo teleported away.
"You know Red, have you ever thought Mewtwo could be the mole ?" Asked Blue.
"What makes you say that ? Because it used to be Giovanni's pokemon ?" Asked Red.
"It did obeyed Giovanni's order during our stay in Pasio." Replied Blue.
"True, but Mewtwo didn't like working with Giovanni, it only did that to get more power, and now Mewtwo got what it wanted there's no need to stay with Giovanni anymore." Explained Red.
"Still it couldn't hurt to investigate Mewtwo as well, better safe than sorry Red." Said Blue.
"Fine if that would satisfy you, let's do it." And so Red and Blue decided to investigate Mewtwo.
The End
The games have now begun as Sylvando got transported to a different floating island, standing before him is Gatrie.
"Hmm...so you're my opponent, you look as beefy as Hendrik, oh this won't be easy." Sylvando is gauging Gatrie.
"Oh man your mannerism is just like Kyza when he's off duty, sorry about this, but I don't have a choice." Gatrie admit his reluctance to fight.
"Don't be, the true enemy is to blame for this, we willl reunite you with Ike, so until then hang on." Sylvando point his sword at Gatrie, with no more things to say the two fighters begin to charge at another.
Sylvando swings his sword at Gatrie, but he block every strike with his shield. "Tough shield, no wonder my strikes are blocked earlier."
Gatrie then counter Sylvando by thrusting his lance, but Sylvando managed to dodge the thrust, as accomplished dancer he's able to perform graceful moves to avoid Gatrie's attack.
After the latest thrust, Sylvando cast the Oomphle spell on himself and grabbed Gatrie's lance, the spell increase his strength, and so his grip on the lance is very strong. Gatrie tried to pull his Lance away, while he still can pull the Lance back to his side, Sylvando can pull it back thanks to his magically enhanced strength.
Sylvando then let go of the lance as Gatrie fall backwards thanks to inertia at play. As Gatrie still on the floor Sylvando cast a Decelerate spell to slow his movements.
"I believe it's time for you to surrender, that was just a fraction of what I'm capable of." Sylvando walked towards Gatrie and point his sword at his face.
However Gatrie isn't done yet as he fire a beam of light from his left palm, this caught Sylvando by surprise and as the beam hit his face and he fell down from the impact with his sword got removed from his hand.
"Ow, didn't see that coming." Sylvando then got up again, luckily the damage seems light.
Gatrie struggled to get up, still under effect from Sylvando's magic, making his movement slow.
Sylvando however doesnt have such problem as he, take a sitting position and use That's Amore ability, he fired a heart shaped projectile at Gatrie, and blast him further.
Gatrie about to blast Sylvando again, however knowing what Gatrie can do, and thanks to his movement slowed Sylvando easily dodged Gatrie's every light shot.
Sylvando grabbed his sword again while dodging and cast another Decelerate spell on Gatrie again, prolonging the magic effect.
"I can keep this up darling ! Can the same be said to you ?" As Sylvando taunt Gatrie, he did have another trick, this time he pointed five fingers at Sylvando and fired a spread shot, which Sylvando barely dodged as his shirt is grazed by the attack.
"Whew, well now, that was a close one, looks like you did still have more tricks under your sleeve, now how shall I finish you off...I know ! This technique just have to make do." Sylvando perform his special ability Gold Rush, numerous gold fall from the sky and fell on Gatrie, hitting him with solid gold from above as he tried to shield his head, however Sylvando still performing his technique until the gold stacked and buried Gatrie, preventing him from moving.
"I believe that's my victory."
"So what are you supposed to be again ? There are a lot of strange creatures in Neo Subspace Army, but I don't think I've seen your kind before, granted maybe I just haven't seen all of them yet." Shinon commenting at Pac-Man's appearance.
"If you're talking about my species it's called Pac-People or Person whichever fine." Answered Pac-Man. "Though you humans do resemble my enemy Erwin."
"Humans ? Where we're from we're called Beorc." Clarified Shinon. "We'll we're not here to discuss our race so...get ready, can't obey the Mad King, Rolf pick your position."
"Right !" Rolf run away from Shinon to attack Pac-Man from another angle.
"I should've stored some power pellets before coming here." Sighed Pac-Man.
Using his magic pen, Pac-Man quickly draw a shield, 2 shields to be wielded on 2 hands.
Shinon and Rolf fired arrows at Pac-Man who he blocked using his shields.
Pac-Man drew the shields with sharp edges on it's lower part, Pac-Man stabbed the ground with the shields, allowing him to be protected without needing to hold the shields.
Pac-Man then drew two more shields tow protect him from south and east angle, with all sides already covered Pac-Man begin to strategize. "The enemies are long range fighters...but they will run out of arrows right ? Hold on, i dont have to wait until they run out of arrows, if i can just destroy their bows they have no other means of attacking me, yeah, that's what i do."
Pac-Man perform his Rev Roll technique as he run in place to gather enough momentum, and at that moment seeing Pac-Man protected an all sides Shinon told Rolf to stop shooting arrows as he pointed his next shot upwards, planning for his shot to rain down on Pac-Man, however Pac-Man gathered enough momentum and used his magic pen to erase one of the shields, once the shield is gone Pac-Man begin to roll around at full speed, Shinon missed his attack as Pac-Man start rolling, he rammed into Rolf and kept on rolling until he rammed into Shinon as well.
With both archers down Pac-Man point both of his hands at Shinon and Rolf's bow and fired a Pac Dot Shot, destroying their weapons.
"I believe that's enough from both of you, I destroyed your weapons, so it's best for you to just surrender." Said Pac-Man.
"Normally I would, considering that psycho Ashnard giving the orders we can't fall just yet as we have other tricks up our sleeves...Rolf ! Shinon and Rolf put their hands forward and a lightning tornado formed around Pac-Man.
"Are you two able to use magic !?" Pac-Man caught by surprise of this unexpected attack.
"No, but apparently we don't even know we had this ability, Thanatos seemed to have awakened our 'dormant power's he said." Explained Shinon.
Pac-Man got caught in the storm as he spun around and get struck by lightning as well, until Pac-Man got thrown across the island as he released from the tornado.
"Ouch...with these powers they're more dangerous than ever, c'mon Pac-Man you're smart enough not to come to another world empty handed, there's got to be something I brought with me..."
Pac-Man scrounging around his 'invisible pocket' and he did found something. "A Metal Dot ? This is just the perfect thing for this situation." Pac-Man eat the Metal Dot and his body turned to steel."
"Shinon ! Ssomething happened to him." Stated Rolf.
"Does it matter ? We have orders Rolf." Shinon firing a stream of lightning at Pac-Man, but thanks to the steel body power up, he's completely unharmed by Shinon's attack as he Rev Roll towards Shinon, he rammed the long haired archer and as he fell down Pac-Man butt bounced him on the stomach, causing him to cough heavily having a heavy metal pressed against your stomach.
Next he Rev Roll his way to Rolf and rammed into him as well. "As a father I'd rather not punish children using violence, but since you can't stop attacking then..."
Pac-Man pull out his magic pen and drew restraints on both Rolf and Shinon, with the intent for the restraints to block their powers, with their bows destroyed and their newly found powers and movements sealed, they had no more means to fight.
"Well it save to say I'm the victor here." Pac-Man steel body power up time is up and he returned to normal.
"Haah...serves me right for saying wanted to get involved, now here I am get thrown into some fighting competition of sorts." Snarked Alex.
"You...look kinda weird, what do you call yourself, oh and by the way I'm Mia and this is Mist we're both a Beorc." Mia introduce herself and Mist.
"I'm what you call a Mob, that's what my kind referred to." Answered Alex.
"I see, that's good to know, and now that introduction is over I believe there's only one thing to do." Mia unsheath her sword.
"Wait are we really going to fight !? Can't there be another way ?" Alex tried to dissuade Mia from fighting.
"We can't really...we have no choice but to obey our master, in this case king Ashnard." Explained Mist.
"You don't seem to want to do this, did he threatened to harm your loved ones if you don't obey or something ?" Asked Alex.
"It's not that...it's just we really can't disobey, it's...a long story." Mia dropped her cheerful demeanor.
("Just what happened here ? Could it be magic is at play here...these girls doesn't seem like bad people...") As Alex still assessing the situation Mia is already near her and swing her sword at Alex, Alex managed to dodge, but unable to avoid it completely as her cheek is grazed by the sword.
("This isn't good, these girls seemed to have no interest to stand down, let's see, one using a sword, and the other one seemed to holding a magic staff ? Maybe I should deal with the one called Mist first.")
Alex finally decided to fight as she pull out a sword, she and Mia keep clashing with one another, Mia then swing her her blade horizontally, but Alex ducked and slammed into Mia, causing both to fall, Alex then quickly grabbed a crossbow and shoot Mist with it, Mist was able to dodge several shot, but one hit her shoulder.
Alex who is still pinning down Mia, felt something hot underneath her, turns out Mia possess fire power and burns Alex knees.
The mob quickly jumped in pain as Mia is freed from her.
Mist pulls out the arrow from her, and used the staff to heal herself, she then warp to Mia.
"Are you okay Mia ?" Asked Mist.
"I'm fine for now, so you can use the staff on yourself huh ? They really successful in modifying the magic staff." Comment Mia.
"Yeah, but I would rather help brother with this instead of against him." Replied Mist.
"You heard Ike, he will save us, I know he won't let us down." Mia expressed her confidence towards Ike.
"Yeah, you're right." Mist smile in agreement.
While the girls still talking, Alex use the chance to drink fire resistant potion, this will protect her from Mia's power. "I only have to deal with the girl swordmanship and the magic using girl now, I have to end this as fast as possible."
Alex charged at Mia and Mist as she struck Mia with her sword.
"Mia ! I'll heal you !" Mist about to use the staff on Mia, but Alex used her crossbow and struck Mist's hand, forcing her to drop the staff, Alex grabbed the staff and throw it to the void below, depriving Mist of any weaponry.
"You two should stand down, you lost your weapon and I'm no stranger to swordplay myself." Alex said to Mist and Mia respectively.
Despite the disadvantage Mia and Mist knows they still have tricks up their sleeve, Mia Channel her fire power into her sword and shot fire beam from her sword, however Alex already drink fireproof potion are unharmed by the attack.
As Alex begin to retaliate on Mia, she feels her feet touching something wet. "A puddle ? Where this come from ?"
Small balls of water arise from the puddle and flew towards Alex acting like she's being shot by multiple bullets.
Alex fell down with her sword removed from her hand.
Alex got up to see it was Mist who did this, she create a body of water on the floating island.
Soon the floating island is flooded with water.
Alex grabbed her elytra wings and put it on her back, allowing her to fly,
Mia and Mist used their fire and water powers respectively, shooting projectiles at Alex, in order to make her fall from the skies, Alex grabbed an instant damage potion as she threw it at Mia and Mist, an explosion occur and both girls are severely hurt by it as rhey both fall on the ground.
Seizing the chance Alex quickly surround Mia and Mist with numerous blocks, building a prison to hold them up, and at the same time strapping them to a detonator and placed TNT between Mia and Mist, she also placed several splashing potions around the TNT.
Alex left the prison cell she made and placed a block to seal the exit, as Mia and Mist got up Alex spoke through the bars.
"Before you made more movements i believe you should stop right there, look around you, you're trapped within this prison I made, I strapped you to a detonator, that TNT in front of you, is an explosive and a very lethal one, I also placed numerous splashing potions around the TNT, even if you survive the explosion you will suffer some kind of debilitating effect from the potions." Explain Alex. "Whether you chose to believe me or not it's up to you, but I will be the winner either way."
"You're still here, if we move, you will be caught in the blast too." Threathened Mia.
"I already have contingency plan, do you still want to do it ? It doesn't matter if you do, I will be the winner no matter what happened." Alex sounds full of confidence her plan won't fail."
Seeing Alex's confidence Mia and Mist decided to surrender as they rather not bring more trouble to themselves.
"So you two are my opponent then ?" Marth asked the two brothers, said brothers are Oscar and Boyd, with Oscar riding a horse.
"King Marth, it is nice to see you again, although I wish the circumstances would be more...friendly." Oscar lament his curreent predicament.
"You're cooking is always delicious Oscar, I can't wait to try it again, after we saved you from your present condition." Marth compliments Oscar's cooking.
"Thank you your majesty, we do wish to be freed from our current situation." Replied Oscar.
"And now's my chance for a rematch !" Exclaimed Boyd.
"Alright, no need for more words, hang on tight, we will save you from your current situation, so until then hold on." Marth pointed his sword at the brothers.
"We shall await for that day to come." Oscar and Boyd are now in fighting stance.
Oscar charged with his horse while Boyd jumped and smash his axe to the ground, but Marth zipped pass through them with his light speed.
Both Boyd and Oscar look perplexed as they realized Marth already behind them.
"I see, so you possess elemental powers as well." Remarked Oscar.
"As well ?" Marth looked confused.
Boyd wreathed his axe in flame and smash the ground with it, creating cracks that made its way towards Marth and flames erupt from those cracks, but Marth was able to dodge the flames.
Marth then saw several stone blocks are flying at his way, but Marth imbued the Falchion with light magic, extending it's range and violently swing his sword, destroying the rocks.
Oscar twirl his lance and touch the ground with the tip of his lance, soon sharp rocks erupt from the ground and heading towards Marth, combined with Boyd earlier attack, flames also erupt from the ground, but Marth doesn't seem fazed at all as he run in lightspeed again, able to avoid the sharp rocks and flames.
Marth then slash Boyd and Oscar from 4 directions with blinding speed and ended the attack with an explosion of light magic. Causing Boyd and Oscar to get thrown across the island and with Oscar also fell from his horse, the explosion also caused both brothers to drop their weapons.
("I usually used my light magic for offense, but during training if I saw what Zelda did...hopefully I can do the same.") Marth tried to use his magic in a way he never tried before, he create a construct shaped like a chain and used it to bind Oscar and Boyd, preventing them from fighting further.
"Sorry you two, but we have a mission to fulfill on our end as well." Said Marth.
"That's fine, we don't want to do this either, please, save us from Neo Subspace Army control." Begged Oscar.
"I will, you have my word."
"I did say I want to help, but what did I get myself into ?" Steve showing a tiny bit of regret as he saw the two people in front of him.
"Titania, dont you think he looks kind of 'blocky' ? Commented Rhys.
"The world is vast indeed, to think we've seen everything in Askr." Replied Titania.
"So are we gonna fight ?" Asked Steve. "My name's Steve by the way ?"
"My name is Titania, and this is Rhys, I'm afraid we don't have a choice, we can't disobey Ashnard as much as I wish to trample him under my horse." Answered Titania.
"Why can't you ? Why obey someone you seemd to hate ?" Steve questioned further.
"We're magically bound, that's why." Answered Rhys. "As long as the source isn't dealt with we will always must obey whoever put in charge of us."
"So I suggest you get ready, our orders are to fight, and that's what we're going to have to do whether we want it or not." Titania is taking a fighting stance.
"We're truly sorry about this." Rhys apologized in advance for what they're about to do.
Titania made the first move as she charged ahead with her horse, she swings her axe, but Steve managed to get out of her way, but then he got hit by a fireball as Rhys is using a red tome.
As Steve opened his eyes, he saw Titania near him, she's about to impale Steve with her axe, however Steve quickly grabbed his shield and protect himself, Titania keep attacking over and over while Rhys preparing for his next attack.
As Titania lift her axe, Steve use the chance to roll around to get away as she missed her attack. Steve pull out a crossbow and shooting at Rhys, interrupting his spellcasting and forced him to move around to avoid the incoming arrows.
"Rhys with me !" From the tip of her axe Titania create a ball made out of light, while Rhys create a ball made of fire, they combine their attack and shot it at Steve.
Steve leaped put of the way to avoid the incoming attack, as Titania begin to charged at him, Steve pull out a bucket of lava and splash the ground with lava, this caused Titania's horse to stopped in its tracks and standing so high to avoid touching the lavaTitania ended up falling from her horse.
As Rhys about to come to her rescue, Steve put on the elytra wings and struck Rhys with his sword.
Titania got up and grabbed her axe, and swing it around to attack Steve, Steve was able to block every attack with his sword, and the fact that he can fly also an advantage.
Titania shoot out a crescent shape light projectile from her axe, while Steve was able to avoid it, it managed to grazed the elytra wings, slightly disrupting his flight balance.
Titania prepare for another shot, but this time the projectile is more horizontal in form. As Steve wings were grazed earlier he rather not risk fly higher, but instead he descend back to the ground to avoid the attack.
Now in range Titania run towards him, but Steve pull out an instant damage potion and throw it at Titania, creating massive explosion that sends her flying a fair distance.
Rhys about to get up and help Titania, however Steve has more than one lava bucket as he threw it in front of Rhys, forbidding him from getting close to Titania.
"I still have more of this, if you don't want me to throw more lava then surrender this instant, and it's not just lava, i have many things i can use to fight." Steve grabbed another lava bucket and threatened Titania and Rhys.
Rhys about to use the full force of his magic, however Titania stops him. "Rhys that's enough, Steve this is your victory." Titania declared Steve the winner as Rhys stand down.
"Glad you give me the order Titania, I dont know if I can stop." Said Rhys.
"We don't know what he's capable of, i'm not taking any chances." Replied Titania.
Mr. GW is facing Ike's parents Greil and Elena. The two couple can only look at disbelief at the creature in front of them.
"I've seen many things in Askr and now here, but...what is it that I'm seeing now ?" Asked Greil.
"We better watch out, just because it looks unusual we shouldn't underestimate it." Replied Elena.
"Agreed, and stand behind me Elena." Commanded Greil as Elena did just that.
"Alright, I'll support you from here." Elena cast the Fortify magic on Greil, strengthening his body.
Greil charged at Mr. GW, and a he's about to swing his axe at him, Mr. GW simply shifted dimension to avoid being hit.
Mr. GW reappeared again and whack Greil with a hammer. The mercenary however able to take the hit since he's been enchanted by his wife's magic.
Greil keep on attacking and attacking, but Mr. GW short stature and his strange abilities to phase dimensions making it almost impossible to hit him.
Mr. GW reappeared behind Greil and smacked him with a chair, he shifted again and reappeared somewhere else and threw a snapping turtle at Greil's butt, he yelped in pain as a 2D turtle bite his behind.
Greil shook the turtle away as it dissipates. Mr. GW is not done yet as he pull out a hammer and smacked Greil upwards, launching him above as he fell down.
Mr. GW begin to use his Judge attack, he pull out number 9, Mr. GW is now ready to give Greil the beating of a lifetime, however his wife will not stand by seeing her husband treated like a punching bag. "Greil !" She used her staff to teleport Greil back to her side, Mr. GW attack missed, however the devastating attack put a large crack on the floating island.
"Elena this thing is unpredictable, I can't fight him using normal means." Infirmed Greil.
"Well there's that power they've given you ?" Asked Elena. "I wish we can just stop right now."
"Well we were ordered to do fight, at least until there's no option left." Greil got up and reached his hand forward.
A bright light appear above Mr. GW and numerous beams of light rained down toward the 2D man. Mr. GW shifted dimension to avoid being hit.
"He keeps on disappearing !" Remarked Greil.
"I'll try to bind him with my magic should he reappear again." Said Elena.
Mr. GW did reappear again, but behind Greil and Elena, he put a bomb behind the mercenary and priestess, Mr. GW shifted dimension again as the bomb exploded behind them, sending them flying a fair distance.
Mr. GW reappeared again and threw several bombs at them, however Elena used her staff to create a barrier, shielding her and Greil from the incoming bombs.
Soon after the bombs stopped coming as Mr. GW is nowhere in sight.
"He could be appearing anywhere." Greil and Elena looked around to see signs of Mr. GW.
Unfortunately for them Mr. GW is nowhere in the ground, but above ground as he take his octopus form, he slammed the floating island with his tentacles repeatedly, hitting the cracks he made earlier, the island begin to split in two, reducing the ground to stand on.
Also there seems to be something on Mr. GW tentacle as some dark energy is released from his tentacles.
Greil do what he did earlier, summoning light from above as Mr. GW now with larger size are hit by the multiple light from above, forcing him to revert to his default form and fell on the other half of the floating island.
Elena seize the chance to bind Mr. GW using her staff. Mr. GW now unable to move as he's magically binded.
Greil gathered what's it like divine energy on his right hand, attempting to shoot Mr. GW with it, bit before he can do that, he heard Elena screaming.
Greil looked at Elena to see black circular things encroaching in her, the same one coming out from Mr. GW tentacles earlier.
"Elena !" Greil tried to help however the creatures begin to encroach on Greil as well, what they don't know is that the creatures are called Shadowbugs, the Shadowbugs then left Greil and Elena as it create a doppelganger of them.
The Greil and Elena doppelganger begun attacking their original self, as the spell on Mr. GW wore off, freeing him from the binding.
Mr. GW generate more Shadowbugs and create a small army of Scope Primids.
Greil and Elena while busy fighting their doppelganger also had to deal with the shootings from Scope Primids.
The attacks were relentless, not giving the couple a chance of fighting back, realizing the futility of the situation Greil and Elena decided to stop fighting. "It's impossible for us to continue like this !"
"Greil, then it's obvious what we should do !" Hinted Elena.
"I know." Greil then shout at Mr. GW. "Stop the attack ! We surrender !"
Hearing this Mr. GW ceased his attacks, as the doppelganger and Primids vanished.
Ike's opponent is none other than Soren.
"So you're my opponent, you better not disappoint me Soren, because I won't hold back, but then again you can't hold back either." Remarked Ike.
"Honestly, aren't you too excited for this ? In case I need to remind you this is the Greil Mercenaries you're facing, your family." Soren being exasperated by Ike's nonchalant attitude.
"I know this will happen to me someday, so I already accepted that fact, but it does eliminate my hesitation, after all I will safe you all from Thanatos's grip." Explained Ike.
"Well Ike if it's you I believe you can pull off a miracle." Soren expressed trust in Ike.
"Before we begin, there's something I'd like to ask, is Ashnard and the Greil Mercenaries come to this world a coincidence ?" Asked Ike.
"I wouldn't know, Ashnard doesn't tell us anything, he just said 'you all join me in this mission.'" Answered Soren. "Sorry I can't be much help."
"It's okay Soren...now let us cross our blades !" Ike readied his sword.
"Ashnard will pay for pitting us against each other !" Soren also ready to fight.
As Ike charged at Soren, he conjure a tornado to surrounding himself, forcing Ike to step back lest he got dragged by the violent winds.
Ike remembers that Bayonetta gave him items called magic flute before, seeing he never need to use it before, he clearly need to use it now. He grabbed one of the magic flute. "So how do I use this ? Should I just blow onto it ?" Ike tried to raise it up and it activate, it unleash a powerful high frequency of spiritual energy, harming Soren as the tornado surrounding him dissipates.
With the protection gone, Ike begin to charge at Soren and do an overhead slash at the mage, but Soren turns out to have other power, he melds into the shadows, making Ike missed his attack. "I see you discover new tricks with your magic."
Soren re-emerge behind Ike. "Thanatos said I always have this power, that it lies dormant within me."
Ike turned around and slashed Soren, only for him to teleport away using his winds.
Soren reappeared and shoot several crescent shaped razor winds at Ike. Ike plant his sword on the ground and unleash massive blue flames that destroys the projectiles.
"Never seen you do that before." Soren commented on Ike's technique.
"Yeah ? looks like you're not the only one with tricks up your sleeve." Replied Ike.
"Looks like it." Soren cast a horizontal whirlwind at Ike, but Ike counter it by using Aether Wave, he throw Ragnell above, jumped, grabbed the sword and slam the ground with it, unleashing a powerful shockwave that cuts through the whirlwind, the shockwave reached Soren as he got strucked by it.
Soren teleport away again and this time he reappeared close to Ike and used his wind magic to strangle Ike, Ike panicked as he struggle to free his neck, but considering he's not restrained by physical object, there's nothing to touch.
Still panicking, Ike's not thinking straight as he's desperate to find a way to free himself as he dropped Ragnell.
Fortunately, Ike remember that he was given more than one magic flute, he grabbed another one and throw it upwards, blasting another high frequency spiritual energy, Soren teleport away to avoid the blast as Ike freed from Soren's grip.
Ike grabbed his Ragnell again and strike the ground, sending another Aether Wave at Soren.
Soren using his newfound power unleash a wave of darkness at Ike, but Ragnell being a divine weapon able to cleave the dark wave coming at Ike, he place the sword in front of him and walked steadily as he cut the wave of darkness coming at him.
As Ike gets closer Soren able to see Ike getting closer and closer. Ike let go his left hand from holding Ragnell to grab another magic flute and throw it upwards, unleashing powerful spiritual energy, which blast Soren away, ending his attack.
Ike then point his sword at Soren's neck. "The battle is over, unless you want to keep going ? Ashnard never tell us the rules in details considering you must be a member of Warriors of Fallen Stars, you're basically undead who are unable to get tired or sick. Was this game rigged or...?"
"If there's no other choice for us then we can surrender, and once we do, you are declared the winner, but only if there's no option left for us, Ashnard is pushing both us and you all to the limit to see what we can do." Explained Soren.
"No choice huh ? Then how about this, Soren if you continue to fight then I will change my mind about saving you, I will let you stay in this state so you will be Ashnard lackey forever." Threatened Ike.
"What ! No ! I...I surrender !" Hearing Ike's threat forces Soren to surrender, declaring Ike the winner.
"Then it's my win...sorry I have to make that threat, you know I didn't mean it." Ike apologized to Soren.
"I know, but still hearing it from your mouth terrifies me, my childhood is anything but happy, you were the first person to ever treated me with kindess, and hearing the same person would abandon me to my monster of a father is just...a nightmare." Replied Soren.
"I still can't believe it, that Ashnard was your father, we lesrn that in death, of course it took you centuries before we meet again." Reminisced Ike.
"You Beorc have short lifespans...just so you know just because Ashnard is my biological father I will never acknowledge him as one, Greil Mercenary are the ones I consider my family." Said Soren.
"And your mother ?" Asked Ike.
"I suppose I can try to talk to Almedha, if she wants it."
"I won't force you, but if the dragon laguz doesn't mistreat you, you can think of them as your other family, from your mother side." Suggested Ike.
"I get that, but my services always for Greil Mercenaries first and foremost."
Soon Ike's body begin to glow. "What is happening to me ?"
"A sign that you won, you will be facing Ashnard now, go and give him the thrashing of the lifetime." Smirked Soren.
"Sure, I beat him once, I will do it again." Ike's body vanished and return to the island where Ashnard is.
As the heroes turned out to have finished at the same time they all got teleported back to the island where they were before they all split up.
Ashnard then clapped his hand. "Hahahah...splendid, all of you surpass my expectations and victorious against the Greil Mercenaries. I expected victory from you Ike, but it seems your companions are no slouch themselves, though Hero King, I have witnessed your feat in Askr.
"Ashnard as fellow kings, I can't say I approve with how you rule your country !" Marth point his sword at Ashnard.
"I get why you want to do what you did, except you're taking things far too extreme, meritocracy is one thing, but plunging Daein into chaos is just unacceptable ! What kind of country experiencing never ending conflict ! And mandated by the king no less !" Exclaimed Ike. "Maybe you really should never inherit the throne in the first place."
Hearing this angers Ashnard. "I have more achivements than my brothers ! And yet I was refused the throne because I wasn't the firstborn, so I did what I did to take what's rightfully mine !"
"Ike what did he...?" Sylvando nervously asked Ike.
"It's said Ashaanrd murder the king of Daein, hiw own father and his brothers to seize the throne." Answered Ike.
"What !" Sylvando react in horror after hearing Ike's answer, and of course Pac-Man, Alex, and Steve react the same.
"And that's not all, he had no love for his own wife and son." Ike turned to Ashnard. "You married Almedha in hopes of having a dragon laguz child, and when that didn't happen you threw Soren away like trash and cast Almedha away ! You had no idea how much he suffers, before he met the Greil Mercenaries !" Yelled Ike.
"I don't need weaklings around me ! Related by blood or not !" Replied Ashnard.
"And yet said son you abandoned turn out to be one of the people responsible for your downfall." Smirked Ike.
Hearing this irony has infuriate Ashnard.
Marth then stepped in. "Ike, I know you're not thinking of facing him alone, but I have as much beef with Ashnard as you, as fellow kings, I can't approve the way he does things."
Next is Sylvando. "I have my issues with him as well, as a son my papi and me may not always see eye to eye, but despite our differences, we managed to reconcile and come to an understanding, that's why i can't just do nothing after hearing this."
Pac-Man also chimed in. "As a father and husband, I would never think of abandoning my family, the way he callously do that doesn't sit right with me."
"Of course, that's the difference for us who cherish our companions and power hungry tyrants who only care about himself. Steve, Alex, will you still stick with us after we're done with him ?" Asked Ike.
"We did say we wanted to help, you can tell us the details later, right now we have a mad king to take down." Steve and Alex ready to fight as well.
"Ashnard's armor is a blessed so normal attacks will be ineffective, it needs weapon of divine origins to counter it." Warned Ike.
"Falchion made of Naga's fang, I'm sure my weapon can hurt him as well." Said Marth.
"If only Erven was here, his status as the Luminary could counter that divine protection as well...then the least we can do is provide distractions." Sylvando know how to being helpful in another way.
"Right, I'm counting on all of you." As both sides ready to fight, a loud roar can be heard.
"What is that !?" Asked Pac-Man.
"The Ender Dragon ! It's getting near !" Answered Alex.
"I won't let some mere dragon interfere! We will continue this battle !" Ashnard pull out his weapon, the sword Gurgurant.
Ashnard charged at the heroes and he swing his sword, with Ike blocked it with Ragnell, Marth seize the chance land a blow on Ashnard, and it worked, the mad king armor got dented. Marth imbued his sword with light magic and struck down Ashnard with it.
Angered, Ashnard got up and continue to fight, this time he's not only focused on Ike as Marth is a threat as well. Ike swing his sword, but Ashnard blocked it. Marth run past Ashnard to try to attack from a different side only for Ashnard to pull away from the blade lock, causing Ike to fall and blocked Marth's attack.
Ashnard lift his leg and kicked Marth in the stomach.
Sylvando breathe fire into Ashnard's face, both burning it and obscuring his vision, giving a chance for Ike to got up and attack him, further denting his armor.
Ashnard set his sights on Ike again, however Pac-Man used Super Pac Dot Shot at the ground Ashnard standing on, causing the ground to collapse and Ashnard to lose his balance. Both Ike and Marth struck down Ashnard from left and right side at the same time.
"Aargh ! *huff* *huff* Well played, but this isn't over for me, your family isn't the only one having tricks up their sleeve." Ashnard stab Gurgurant on the floor and a vortex of flame emerge from the ground, with no time to escape, Mr. GW grabbed Ike, Marth, Sylvando, and Pac-Man with his tentacles.
"Even Ashnard given new powers as well." Commented Ike.
Soon a loud roar can be heard, this time louder and closer as well, the Ender Dragon has arrived.
A massive black dragon hover above the island the heroes and Ashnard standing on, and begin shooting poisonous flames from it's mouth.
"It's here...Ike ! Steve and I and Mr. GW will deal with Ender Dragon, you continue focused on Ashnard !" Exclaimed Alex.
"Of course !" Mr. GW released Ike and co. From his tentacles, and set his sights on the Ender Dragon.
"Ender Dragon ? I wonder if I can make that thing my mount like I did Rajaion ?" Ashnard Smirked sinisterly.
"You won't be subduing another dragon !" Ike swing his sword again, but Ashnard managed to block it.
Pac-Man drew a hole underneath Ashnard feet with his magic pen, causing him to fall, although the hole isn't deep, only knee deep.
Ender Dragon shooting fireball after fireball, but Mr. GW in octopus form keep shifting dimensions to avoid the incoming attack.
Alex and Steve kept shooting the dragon with their bows and arrow. Distracting it from Mr. GW, as Mr. GW still disappear, Ender Dragon set it's sight on Steve and Alex. As it approach the two mobs, Mr. GW reappear and, cobbled his two tentacles together, and slammed the Ender Dragon's head, causing it to fall from the pain.
The heroes below saw the Ender Dragon about to fall, and the heroes quickly run away lest they got crushed. Ashnard however failed to make it in time as he still stuck in the hole Pac-Man made, and so the Ender Dragon fall on him.
Ender Dragon recover and assume fighting position again, however Mr. GW latched on it and restraining it with his tentacles.
"Now's our chance while she's restrained !" Command Alex as the heroes charged at the Ender Dragon, the dragon tried to shoot its poison flame, but Mr. GW has his tentacles on the dragon's neck, forcibly moving the dragon's head to a different direction, making it's attack missed.
Marth's Falchion was able to inflict serious pain to the dragon, Sylvando used the technique Dragon Slash, hurting the dragon even further.
The heroes able to relentlessly attack the dragon as it's being restrained by Mr. GW and soon the Ender Dragon found itself too injured to fight back as it lay down with weak breathing.
"We defeated this thing, now where's Ashnard ?" Asked Ike.
Smash Mansion
Back at the mansion, now ruling out Wario from list of suspects, Red and Blue decided to look for Mewtwo.
"So where's Mewtwo again ?" Asked Red.
"Searching on foot is a waste of time, so..." Blue grabbed his pokeball and sent out Alakazam. "Alakazam, sense Mewtwo's presence and teleport us there."
Alakazam successfully locate Mewtwo and teleport Red, Blue and itself to where the genetic pokemon is.
S.S Light - Bridge
The trio reappeared at the bridge, while Mewtwo seemed to talk too someone through it's golden plate. ("I see, you're helping the Beast Pack leader gather his soul, okay then, good luck.")
As Mewtwo ended the conversation it was able to notice Red, Blue, and Alakazam in the bridge ("I can tell you're here you know.")
Red, Blue, and Alakazam came out of hiding.
"Sorry for barging in like this." Red apologized.
("No worries, so found another suspect ?") Asked Mewtwo, the genetic pokemon then looked at Red and Blue's face. ("You're suspecting me do you ? Is it because my team up with Giovanni ?"
"Something like that, you seem very cooperative with him in Pasio." Remarked Blue.
"I have an agenda, and that is to gain more power, Giovanni is more a pawn to achieved my goal, I do not report back to Team Rocket, but if you still suspicious, feel free for Alakazam to peer into my mind, just know that I'm not the mole." Mewtwo offered itself to be probed to prove it's innocence.
Doing what it said, Blue ordered Alakazam to peek into Mewtwo's mind, Mewtwo offer no resistance as Alakazam able to fully probe without interference only to find nothing that count as cooperating with the enemy.
Alakazam looked at Blue and shake its head.
"Nothing huh ? Sorry for doubting you Mewtwo." Blue apologized.
("It's fine, but even psychics can't detect it, i wonder if there's anything we miss ?") Pondered Mewtwo.
"This may be off topic, but who are you talking to earlier?" Asked Red.
("I was talking to Kirby, apparently he won't be back yet, he just defeated a creature that almost put Planet Popstar and the world he stranded to into collision course, but apparently there's a new problem for him that needs to be fixed.") Answered Mewtwo.
"Normally that sound absurd, but now everything seems believable." Remarked Blue.
"But if we can't find the mole we can't have important talks without risk leaking information." Stated Red.
("I may have an idea, next meeting we all be speaking telepathically instead.") Suggested Mewtwo.
"You sure that would work ?" Asked Red. "I mean if we're talking with telepathy won't that mean it can also reveal our personal information ?"
("Then don't think about it, focus on your task at hand. And I believe with this we can even expose the mole or prevent them from getting any information.") Answered Mewtwo.
"I suppose that could work, but now the problem is how to get everyone to agree on this, won't they ask why we need to have a meeting with telepathy ?" Asked Blue.
"Leave that to me, I'm going to ask Mesprit to secretly influence their mind into agreeing." Suggested Red.
"This is a slippery slope territory you know that." Blue facepalmed as he reluctantly agreed to Red and Mewtwo's suggestion.
The End
After defeating the Ender Dragon, Ashnard finally get out from the hole Pac-Man made.
"There you are." Ike point his sword. "We won Ashnard, we play along to what you say, now it's your turn to do what you promised, we won."
Despite losing Ashnard doesn't seem to mind and smirked. "It seems you still hasn't lost your touch, fine a promise is a promise." Ashnard return the golden plate back to the heroes.
Ashnard then used his black plate to teleport the Greil Mercenaries back to him.
Soren saw Ike got his golden plate back, so he has to say this to Ashnard. "Hmph, so you lost do you ? Considering Ike beat you once, he only need to do repeat performance."
"Ashnard, our era has long passed, are you still going to do what you plan to do even now ?" Asked Ike.
"Yes, I will not give up, the world I dreamt of where the strong reign and the weak submit, i still haven't given up on it." Answered Ashnard.
"If you're going to be a threat to Daein, then we will stop you." Warned Ike.
"Daein ? Ike you don't get it do you ? There are many worlds out there I'm aiming higher than Daein, my service with Neo Subspace Army is a means to achieve that goal." Replied Ashnard.
"What are you talking about ?" Ike don't understand what Ashnard meant.
"Be patient, in time I will tell you my plan, oh and also I'm taking this dragon with me." Ashnard then used his black plate to teleport away with the Greil Mercenaries, taking the Ender Dragon with him.
"Did he just take the Ender Dragon with him ?" Steve looked at disbelief. "She's dangerous !"
"Unfortunately the organization he belongs to must have the means to tame that dragon." Ike has resigned to prepare for the worst.
"So, last chamce, do you still want to join up with us ? This is what happens when you do, it will involve more than just your world, of course now your world is now on their list as well." Said Marth.
"Would you excuse us for a bit." Alex dragged Steve away from the heroes to discuss this among themselves. "Well Steve ? What do you think ? We really are going to get involved with something beyond what we thought."
"You see what happened, our world got attacked by otherworlders, that we know nothing about, but these guys do, and Ike know the people were fighting earlier, we may need their help against these unknown threat." Replied Steve.
"Well if you're in then I'm in too, after what we've seen teaming up with these guys may be our best option yet." Alex has confirm her answer.
Steve and Alex then return to the heroes and give them their answer, the heroes welcome them aboard.
However before leaving Ike felt uneasy as he remembers what Ashnard said before.
"Ike you okay ?" Asked Marth.
"Oh...yeah I'm fine, it's just something Ashnard said bothers me a bit." Replied Ike.
"About his goal ?" Asked Sylvando.
"No, that, was it a coincidence that we encounter him here ? Did someone leak an information from the inside ?" Questioned Ike.
"Ike do you really believe that ? He's just trying to mess with your head, who would betray us ? Everyone knows the end goal of Neo Subspace Army, it would be pointless if anyone were to betray us, Galeem would just destroy everything anyway." Pac-Man tried to assuage Ike's doubts.
"You're right, maybe I was just thinking too much, right let's go back." Ike used his golden plate to teleport the heroes back to the mansion.
Smash Mansion - Wario's Room
In his room Wario is currently counting his well earned loot. "999, 1000 gold coin ! Haha today's profit is great ! Tomorrow earnings better a-be higher than today."
Wario got up from his chair and put the gold coins back to his sack and put in his closet.
Planning for tomorrow, Wario pull out his phone to set tomorrow's schedule, however he saw incoming messages and missed callls on the screen, the caller ID name is written Mona.
"Huh ? Mona called ? I must've not a-noticed it when i was a-back at Mushroom Kingdom, please don't ask for a raise, please don't ask for a raise..." Wario said his prayers as he about to return her call. "Oh a-wait, my phone won't reach a-her in another world."
Realizing the impossibility of contacting Mona from World of Trophy, Wario used the golden plate instead as substitute. "Hello Mona you call ?" using the golden plate as a phone allows the user to mimic their caller ID, allowing the caller to avoid suspicion from the reveiver.
As Wario asked, the other side seems to be angry. "Yes Wario ! I've been calling for ages ! You promised to take me to the ruins you visited long time ago ! The Golden Pyramid !"
"Oh, i a-did ? I mean yes ! I do remember ! it's a next week right ?" Wario answered nervously as he forgot that promise.
Turns out Wario is correct by a stroke of luck. "Oh you do remember ! i'll be waiting for you."
"O-of course i remember ! i would never forget something so important." Remarked Wario.
"Great ! I can't wait for next week." Mona then cut off communication.
"That girl is such a go-getter, apparently working multiple a-jobs isn't enough for her, now she wants to be an adventurer, and honestly, the Golden Pyramid ? That a-place is nothing but ruins now.."
And done, honestly i never play Minecraft before so i don't know much about it, i have to look what kind of creatures and items they have there.
The creature Sylvando mentioned before the golem fight is Gold Golem, beating it will give good amounts of gold in Dragon Quest series.
The elemental powers Greil Mercenary has is based on Affinity gameplay mechanic in Fire Emblem, in the Tellius games there's fire, water, wind, earth, light, dark, heaven. i give the chatacters element that match their affinity, considering they have elemental powers in FE Warriors, surely the Tellius characters can have it too.
Magic Pen is the item used in Pac-Man DS game Pac Pix, in here the magic pen casn be used to draw anything.
Super Pac Dot Shot is a new power from Pac Man World Re Pac, the reamke of super Pac Man World.
