by Brightglow

Since the beginning of creation, the universe is teeming with life and many worlds have born as a result but these worlds are separated from one another with the inhabitants of each worlds living their everyday life blissfully unaware of the existence of worlds other than their own... Until now.

105. King of Fatal Fury

Smash Mansion

Today turns out the day where Mac supposed to take his driving test, so he must return back to Earth right away, Doc Louis will be coming with him to provide moral support.

Wanting to come with him is Roy and Lucina who is curious about this 'driving test', Lucina's family Chrom, Sumia, and Cynthia decided to come along as well out of curiosity.

"Okay, so this is everyone ?" Asked Mac.

"Not yet." Gerome walked in and stand near Lucina. "Now everyone's here."

"Huh ? I didn't know you'd be coming too Gerome ?" Mac looked confused.

"He insisted on coming along, and I'm the one who wanted to see the 'modern world' !" Complained Severa.

"Knowing you, you probably gets distracted and wanted to buy stuff you doesn't need again." Chastised Laurent. "Your spending is more than several nobles combined."

"Yeah, all of us wanted to see Mac's world, but since we can't come in a big group we decided who gets to come by playing a game." Stated Kjelle. "Severa was being a sore loser."

"And as for me I got family privileges so I don't have to take part in the game !" Bragged Cynthia.

"No fair ! I'm Lucina's cousin ! I deserve family privileges as well !" Protested Owain.

"That's what you get for not realizing things sooner." Nah snarking at Owain.

"And I win, so I'm the one who gets to come." Responded Gerome.

"I don't mind any of you coming, but if we're going to avoid unwanted attention you need to dressed like you're in 21st century, so Gerome, the mask and armor needs to go, Lucina and her family already dressed the part." Mac pointed at the Ylissean royal wore a white one piece dress, where the skirt reach the knee, with white high heel shoes.

Sumia wear a black shirt with short sleeve and skinny blue jeans, she also wore a brown sandal.

Cynthia wear a blue one piece dress and white shoes.

Chrom wore a long arm dark blue buttoned shirt and black trousers with a belt.

"My mask as well !?" Gerome looked shocked he can't bring his mask with him.

"Sorry buddy, but either that or you can't come." Mac stand his ground.

"Yes ! If Gerome refuse I can take his place !" Severa shouted with glee.

"Not so fast Severa, I just need to not wearing my mask right !" Gerome removed his mask and reveal his face.

"*sigh* I know I've seen your face before, but you do have a face that makes the girls go crazy." Mac voiced his jealousy.

"Don't be jealous Mac, being super attractive isn't all that, why Gerome have been manhandled several times before." Lucina revealed Gerome's past issues.

"Speak for yourself ! I want to be manhandled by gorgeous ladies !" Protested Inigo.

"Ignore him, I took off my mask, now my armor as well ?" Asked Gerome.

"Don't worry, I got that covered." Bayonetta walked in and carrying a folded black shirt and blue jeans with her. "We don't have much time so I just pick the simple clothing, now wear this, it should be enough to blend in."

Gerome take the clothes, he went to the nearby bathroom and changed his clothes.

"I forgot to say he can't bring weapons either." Said Mac.

"Gerome is really good with his fists, so don't worry about that either." Assured Lucina.

"Well we just have to wait for Gerome, what about you Southtown team ?" Asked Mac.

The ones going to Southtown is Otacon, Chelsea, and Stephen.

"All good to go, still to think it landed on Geese Tower of all places, I hope it won't be difficult." Chelsea beginning to have doubts.

"Well it's Geese Howard's residence, maybe he would understand and not making a big deal out of it." Replied Stephen.

"I guess you're right, so is the car ready Hal ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Everything's ready, when Snake sent me here I was worried about my car, but turns out it get teleported along with me here." Said Hal.

"A small bonus from Palutena, and after all you are Snake's friend." Replied Chelsea.

And at this time Samus and Olimar joined up with the others.

"I see everyone's ready to head back to 21st Century Earth ? Olimar and I will join as well, although where we want to go is Vivosaur Island, we fail to meet Mr. Richmond last time, we have to succeed now." Explained Samus.

"How will you do it this time ? I don't think breaking and entering is a good idea." Said Mac. "And security must still be tight."

"Don't worry, we already come up with a plan, first I could turn myself invisible using the power up I found on planet ZDR, also during our last visit i already scan the map of the building, unfortunately the invisibility only works on me, Olimar will have to sneak in some other way."

"I will be using my White Pikmin to enter from the back and meet up with Samus at the elevator." Answered Olimar. "My short size should be useful to avoid detection.""I'm done changing, without my armor I feel vulnerable." Gerome is now wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, although his shirt is rather skintight and somewhat revealing his muscles, Bayonetta must've picked this shirt on purpose.

"This shirt looks good on you." Lucina complimented Gerome's 'modern' look.

"Oh..ummm...if you say so Lucina." Gerome look the other way to avoid being embarrassed by Lucina's compliment.

"Of course Gerome, you can't bring weapons either, if a fight is inevitable, just use your fist for it." Added Mac, which Gerome agree.

"Well everyone seems to get everything's covered, so shall we go now ?" Asked Lucina.

"Yeah, we'll go to SouthTown if you guys still haven't got the Beanstar piece yet after I'm done with my driving test." Said Mac."Let's just hope that we can get the Beanstar Piece and accomplish the mission immediately." Remarked Chelsea.

And with everything's settled, the heroes teleported to their destination.

Little Mac's Apartment - Outside

Returning to his home Mac and Doc left the apartment to grab their car.

"This should avert suspicion." Everyone then got inside of Doc Louis car.

"Kinda cramped here." Roy is and wished between Chrom and Gerome.

"Sorry Roy, hang in there, it won't be far from here, you know why we can't just teleport to the DMV directly." Explained Mac. "There are people there."

"Cynthia, you can sit on my lap." Offered Sumia.

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore !" Complained Cynthia.

Sumia glared at Cynthia, terrified she relent as she sits on Sumia's lap.

"Please don't tell anyone about this, or i'll chase you with my Pegasus." Cynthia threatened everyone else to stay silent, except for her parents for obvious reason.

"Don't worry we won't." Assured Lucina.

"Everyone ready ? Here we go." Doc turned on the car and he drives to the DMV.

Southtown

The heroes teleported to a empty alley, and Hal begin driving from there to Geese Tower.

"Never thought that we'd be going to South Town." Stephen still can't believe hes at another state.

"For once the adventure actually takes you to different places." Replied Chelsea. "During the tournament the stages are based of the fighters worlds, but they're not a real location."

"That still count I think, you get to see places you will never see on Earth." Said Hal.

"True, but honestly I still want to visit those places directly, like Kirby's world or maybe Future Earth." Chelsea express her desire to see more of other worlds.

"I'm sure we will be able to visit those places, I'm just grateful at the place I can go to for now, like Southtown, I've never been here before." Said Stephen.

"Right, and while we're here why don't we stop by to Pao Pao Cafe after we finished our mission, i heard the meals there are delicious." Suggested Chelsea.

"Oh I agree, I've been there before, the food they made is top tier." Hal agreed with Chelsea.

"Okay then, after this Pao Pao Cafe here we come !" Stephen also looked forward to visiting the place.

Vivosaur Island - Richmond Building

Continuing from their last visit, the heroes must meet Mr. Richmond at all cost, to accomplish that, Samus and Olimar devise a plan to allow access to the building, as the building is highly guarded, right now the two arrived at the bushes behind the building.

"Now reminder one last time, So the plan is i'm using Phantom Cloak to sneak in to the lobby and stand in front the elevator, i'll open the door once you reached the elevator." Samus go over the plan one last time.

"Yes, and always keep in touch whenever there's changes in situation." Added Olimar.

"Okay, there don't seem to be any guards back here." Samus and Olimar looked around from behind the bushes. "Olimar, i'm sending you the map of the building interior."

"Thank you Samus, then it's time." Olimar summoned White Pikmins using his golden plate. He hold them in his hands and head to the metal door at the back, the White Pikmin sprayed acid that melt the lock, Olimar return the White Pikmin back to the mansion.

Samus then turn invisible and walked towards the entrance. Along the way she saw a flyer on the building wall.

'To anyone reading this, please inform the police if you see any suspicious figures lurking around the building.

Signed, the police.'

("They really raising security here, I better watch out.") Samus continue walking until she reached rhe entrance, however there's a guard standing at the entrance.

("There was a guard last time here too, but this time, I'll manage.") Samus turn into her Morph Ball form and slide past the guard.

Richmond Building

Now that she managed to get inside Samus is waiting in front of the elevator. ("Now to wait for Olimar.")

After opening the metal door, Olimar take a step inside, but before he move further, Olimar saw security cameras placed on the hallway, Olimar using his Yellow and Flying Pikmins to disable it, the Flying Pikmins carried the Yellow Pikmins and put them on the security cameras, the Yellow Pikmin using their electrical powers to short-circuit the device as the camera is now broken.

With the security camera down Olimar went ahead, cueing the Pikmins to follow him, there's another security camera again, but using the same tactic the Pikmins have disabled it.

Now there's a door in front of Olimar, he slowly opened it and it leads to the kitchen.

Richmond Building - Kitchen

There's a chef inside, but since Olimar sneak in quietly, he doesn't notice Olimar is inside, and thanks to his short stature Olimar able to hide and sneak around easily.

Olimar kept going, however as he's fixated on the chef he didn't lookwhat in front of him and ended up hitting and knocking down a few utensils, thus catching the chef attention.

"What ? Who's there !" Yelled the chef.

Olimar cue his Flying Pikmins to distract him, as all of them fly above and swarmed the chef.

"Ah flies ! Get off me ! Fly swatter ! Where did I put the fly swatter !" The chef looked frantically for the fly swatter as he flailing his arms to keep the Flying Pikmins away.

Olimar made his way to the door and left the kitchen, and soon the Flying Pikmins stop bothering the chef and quickly leave and joined up with Olimar.

"Thanks for the help." Olimar return the Pikmins back to the mansion with his golden plate, now he summons the White Pikmins again. "This wall infront should lead us to the elevator, now do your thing." The White Pikmins start spraying acids to melt the wall as Olimar went in.

Richmond Building - Lobby

As Samus still waiting, she then receive a transmission from Olimar, which is the signal. Samus the pressed the elevator button as she waits for the elevator to reach ground floor.

Elevator

The elevator opened 'by itself' much to the surprise of the staff, Samus ignored it as she went inside and close the door, after closing the door elevator wall suddenly smoking and melted. Olimar came out from the hole made from the White Pikmin poison.

"Good timing, I suspect there's no problem on your end ?" Asked Samus.

"A minor inconvenience, one that can solve with my Pikmins, so top floor then ?" Asked Olimar.

Samus nodded as she pushed the top floor button, and that's where the elevator is headed.

DMV

Finally arriving at the DMV everyone steps out of the car and went inside the building.

Once there Doc gave Mac a little encouragement. "Okay Mac you got this, the written exam is easy, the chances of passing is very high."

"Yeah, thanks Doc...I'll be going now." Mac went inside the exam room while everyone else waits in the waiting room.

"While Mac finish his test we'll just wait here in the meantime." Said Doc as he and everyone take a seat in the waiting room. Luckily for the heroes the DMV doesn't have other people taking driving test today.

"So, uh..Doc, is this 'driving' thing is like a rite of passage for the people living in this world ? I've sure seen so many cars on our way here." Asked Chrom.

"Rite of passage ?...nah, technically it's not mandatory to know how to drive, but if you can it does makes traveling easier." Explained Doc.

"I see, and does anyone allowed to drive ?" Asked Chrom again.

"Well they need to at least 16 years old and take the test like Mac right now to get their drivers license, because I'll just be honest there are reckless drivers and there's many accidents and deaths caused by reckless or drunk driving." Explained Doc.

"How can someone can be so irresponsible ? If it were like wyvern riding they would be plummeting to their death if they're not careful." Remarked Gerome.

"Unfortunately that's not something we can control, we can call them out, but how they react depends on the person." Continued Doc.

"Hmm...you say you could go anywhere with a car right ?" Asked Chrom.

"Yep, whether it's something like going to the market for some shopping, sending kids to school, or even taking your family for a vacation." Answered Doc.

"Family vacation huh ?" Chrom started to think on Doc's words.

"Chrom are you interested in this driving thing ?" Asked Sumia.

"Huh ? Oh..well..I suppose I am, it does reminds me of that time me and well.. Lucina traveling to other worlds." Said Chrom.

"The one when you said the bull like monster threatening Lady Tiki ?" Asked Sumia.

"Yeah it all started from there, and this large red metallic transportation, is what we use to travel between worlds." Answered Chrom.

"I can teach you if you want, but just like most people I only know the general stuff about cars, which is why whenever our car have a problem, they usually brought to the mechanics to fix it." Answered Doc.

"That's fine ! I may never get a chance like this so, please do !" Chrom practically begged for Doc to teach him how to drive.

"Alright, alright, I'll do that after we get back...although usually for important figures like a king, they usually have drivers to drive them around." Answered Doc.

"That so ? I still wished to learn, I can imagine if Frederick were here he's going to want to learn how to drive and getting overboard again." Chrom imagining the worst if Frederick starting to get interested in driving.

"He...sounds like a very devoted servant." Replied Doc awkwardly.

"And that's an understatement." Replied Chrom.

"Umm...actually I'm kinda interested in this driving thing as well." Roy slowly raised his hand.

"You're still 15 right Roy ? If you want to take the test you must at least be 16 first." Said Doc.

"So uh...does die of an old age and reborn as 15 year old doesn't count ?" Roy ask nervously.

Doc Louis only stare at Roy, signalling the answer to his absurd question.

"To think the day has come for Mac to be sitting behind the wheel, and then next thing i knew he would bringing dates to his car." Remarked Doc.

Hearing the word date intrigued Gerome and Roy.

"What do yiu mean by that Doc ?" Asked Roy.

"Some guys like to show off if they can drive, either to impress a girl or taking his girlfriend on a date." Continued Doc.

Chrom noticed Gerome is thinking. "What's the matter ? Do you possibly interested in cars too Gerome ?"

"Huh !? Oh...no Lord Chrom, I already have Minerva...umm well I suppose land transport is necessary as well if going through the sky is unavailable." Gerome give his shallow answer.

"It was very cramped when all of us get inside, maybe the experience would be pleasant if there are less people inside ?" Asked Sumia.

"Yeah, our car was made to hold less than 9 people in the first place." Remarked Doc.

As they all continue chatting, they don't realize time flies and the time for the written exam is over, Little Mac and everyone else taking the exam then came out from the exam room.

Mac ! Youre done ! How was the test ?" Asked Lucina.

"I did well, I passed the written exam." Mac smiled happily.

"That's great Mac." Lucina happy for Mac..

"See I knew you can do it, so now the time has come for the real thing." Said Doc.

"Y-yeah, for now i have to wait here though, the instructor will be here any minute." Said Mac.

"Mac ? I knew it, it is you !" A feminine voice called out to Mac from behind, as he turned around he saw a medium dark skinned woman with long brown hair, wearing a gray coat and black boots.

"Yolanda !? You were taking the test too ? I didn't see you there." Mac surprised to see a familiar face.

"Well now isn't this a coincidence ?" Said Doc.

"It's good to see you too Doc." Yolanda greeted Doc Louis.

"Wait, if you're here, then is your bodyguard here too ?" Asked Mac.

"Fortman not with me right now, he drive me here, but he had some errands to run after that, mother is quite busy these days." Answered Yolanda.

"I'm sure you are too, by the way I heard you will be having a benefit concert right ?" Asked Mac.

"Yes, we'll be having it in a few days, will you be able to attend Mac ?" Asked Yolanda.

"Oh man, I've been busy myself I forgot about buying a ticket." Answered Mac.

"Oh right you are starring at that new movie right ? Even though I also heard you've been suspended from WVBA." Said Yolanda.

"I wouldn't worry about that, WVBA isn't exactly the type to follow boxing rules anyway." Answered Mac. "The suspension is just PR move anyway."

"Well if you're missed out on a ticket I have some myself, here." Yolanda give Mac and Doc tickets for her concert.

"Well now, how can we not show up now that we got this from the star herself." Mac scratches his head.

"Thanks, but Angelique Noir is still going to be the main star of the show." Replied Yolanda.

"I know you will do great, whether the main star or not, everyone needs cheering up after such traumatic event, and you're going to do that." Said Mac.

"Y-yeah, we're here to help those in need." Yolanda then suddenly muttered something. "But who will cheered us up when we're the ones feeling down ?"

"What was that ? Did you say something ?" Asked Mac.

"Oh no, it's nothing important !" Yolanda quickly deny anything wrong.

"Well on an unrelated note, how are you in NIN10 Pro ? Your boss doesn't...exploit you does he ? I know how shady the music industry can be." Mac showing his concern to Yolanda.

"He's not, thanks for the concern Mac, but Mr. Quinn is nothing like that." Assured Yolanda.

Yolanda then notice the Ylissean royal family standing near Mac.

"Are they with you Mac ?" Asked Yolanda.

"Err..yeah this..." Mac tried to come up with an excuse, but Doc stepped in.

"These are our friends, this is Chrom Ylisse, his wife Sumia, and daughters Cynthia and Lucina." Said Doc. "Lucina is about to take her test next month so she wanted to see the process herself."

"Oh, nice to meet you all." Yolanda greeted the family. "But what about these two Redheaded men ?" Yolanda pointed at Gerome and Roy.

"Gerome is Lucina's friend and Roy is...Doc's new protégé !" Blurted out Mac which earned him inquisitive stare.

"I don't know you take another protégé ?" Asked Yolanda.

"Well...it's still a secret, I mean Roy shows a lot of potential, I can't just let those potential goes wasted." Doc follow up on Mac's lies.

"Is that so ? Well Roy I can't wait to see your debut, and here I have another ticket if you'd like." Yolanda gave Roy her concert ticket.

"Oh, thanks I'll try not to miss it. Hahahah..." Roy respond awkwardly.

"I do have two more tickets, would you like one Lucina ? You can take your sister or your friend Gerome...are you sure you're just friends ?" Yolanda begin teasing Lucina and Gerome.

While Lucina seemed clueless Gerome's face turned bright red. "O-of course we are ! We're just friends !"

"Sorry I don't mean to pry." Yolanda let's out a small chuckle.

"Why don't you take it ? We don't have time to enjoy what other worlds have to offer the last time, and since this seems different from Askran festivals..." Said Chrom.

Agreeing with him Lucina take the tickets from Yolanda. "Thanks for these, I'll be sure to try to attend."

One of the instructors finally arrive at the waiting room calling out Yolanda's name.

"I guess it's time, I'll be going on ahead, it's good to see you again Mac, and you as well Doc." Said Yolanda.

"Yeah, surprise to see you too, tell Margot I say hi as well, and good luck with the test." Replied Doc.

"I'll be sure to tell her that, and thanks." Yolanda then walked away with her instructor to start her driving test.

"She's pretty, a friend of your Mac ? Or more ?" Roy begin teasing Mac.

Mac's face turned red, denying theres anything going on between Yolanda and himself. "She's just a friend ok, her mother and Doc knew each other that's all."

"You know Mac, I've been gatekeeping those rabid fangirls of yours for a long time now, but if you want make a move on Yolanda well I will support you on that, she got my approval." Doc also joined in.

"Doc, not you too." Mac can only sighed jn defeat from the endless teasing.

And know another instructor arrived and call out Mac's name.

"That's my cue then." Said Mac.

"Are these people with you ? Would you like to bring anyone along ?" Asked the instructor. "Of course the car can't fit everyone."

Hearing this Roy, Doc, Lucina, and Gerome quickly steps in.

"Okay, I do hope all of you not being a distraction." Eveyone then went outside to start Mac driving test.

"You're not going with them ?" Sumia asked Chrom.

"I doubt the car fits, besides i'll have my chance another time, and Lucina promised to record things, I'll just watch from Lucina's recording." Stated Chrom.

"I want to come too ! Why did Gerome have to joined Mac ? Doesn't he already have Minerva for transportation !" Fumed Cynthia.

"First come, first serve Cynthia, one of the harsh rule of life." Chrom adviced his youngest daughter as CYnthia still grumbling.

"Now now Cynthia you'll have your chance later, for now just be patient." Sumia calmed her daughter down.

Southtown - Geese Tower

Chelsea, Stephen, and Hal finally reached Geese Tower.

"Wow looking at it from here, this place is huge, what if the residents here haven't found the Beanstar or even doesn't even notice it's here ?" Asked Stephen.

"Guess that would be a plan B then." Replied Chelsea.

"We don't have a plan B you know." Snarked Stephen.

"I'm sure we figure it out along the way." Replied Chelsea.

"You can't be nonchalant about this, it is a wish granting device after all." Said Hal.

"We already have one on our possession, that should be enough to prevent the star from being assembled, besides like Mario said, it needed a pure hearted maiden voice to activate it." Continued Chelsea

"You do realize they have good people under their control right ?" Asked Hal.

"Let's just focus on getting this one first." Chelsea quickly end the conversation.

"Hey ! Who are you people !?" A voice came from inside the Tower's gate, a man with blonde hair wearing a black suit and bandana resembling the UK flag called out to the heroes. "Do you have business here ?"

"Oh, sorry about loitering here, do you live here ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Yes, I'm Billy Kane, I'm a bodyguard to Geese Howard." The man introduced himself.

"We want be here long Mr. Kane, but we were wondering if you've seen an object like this ?" Chelsea pull put her phone and showed him a picture of the Beanstar piece.

Billy's eyes widened, but he quickly regained his composure. "Sorry, I haven't seen anything like that, now is that all ?"

"Are you sure ? We were certain it's somewhere around here ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Yes, I also have a duty to make sure the tower remains clean, and so far I haven't seen anything like what you showed me, now if you'll excuse me Mr. Howard is a busy man, oiu need to make an appointment if you wished to see him." Replied Billy.

"But.." As Chelsea want to press one more time a limousine arrived at the tower.

"This must be Mr. Torchrock." Billy then turned to the heroes again. "As you can see we have a guest coming." Billy opened the gate and the limousine went inside.

Inside the limousine Manfred Torchrock stared at the heroes briefly as the car went inside the tower's gate.

"Right this way sir." Billy guide Manfred as he stepped outside his car and entered the tower.

"Well that was a bust." Stephen looked disappointed.

"Hey do you think that Billy guy telling the truth ? I saw his eyes widened a bit, I think he knows more then he let's on." Said Chelsea.

"Still what else can we do ?" Asked Stephen.

"We may need to contact Mac and the others, so for now let's say we head to Pao Pao Cafe first ?" Suggested Hal.

"Sure let's go there, I always wanted to visit that place." As they about to went inside Hal's car both Chelsea and Stephen's phone received a text message.

"Hey this is ?" Questioned Stephen.

"Is it the same as me ?" Asked Chelsea.

"What's going on ?" Asked Hal.

"Apparently we have to return to our jobs tomorrow." Answered Chelsea.

Streets of New York

Mac has begin his driving test as he drive around the streets of New York, many of the debris from the Vivosaur rampage has been cleared up, and life seems to be almost returning to the big city, beforehand Doc typed his phone and wrote a message which he shows Roy, Lucina, and Gerome.

The message reads. "I know you three came from a world where cars doesn't exist, so I need to ask you not to act like it's your first time to avoid suspicion."

So far the trio able to fulfill that promise. With Lucina only focused on recording Mac's driving test with her golden plate.

Mac, to avoid distraction left his phone to Roy, and soon both Mac and Doc's phone also received incoming text message.

"A text from WVBA ?" Doc looked curious.

"Is it okay if I open this ?" Asked Roy.

"It's okay Roy, whatever they say I won't let it bother me." Mac gave his permission.

Both Roy and Doc opened the text message and it shows that Mac suspension has been lifted.

"Great news Mac it seems your suspension is lifted." Said Roy excitedly.

"Yeah I should've seen that coming, WVBA doesn't exactly follow boxing rules, they do that only for PR." Replied Mac.

"Guess I was worried for nothing, after all many of the fighters did not follow the rules like Great Tiger for example, I don't know what I was worried about, now I'd like to see the look on Super Macho Man right now." Doc put his phone back in his pocket as he imagined SMM fury.

After driving through the streets, Asked questions by the instructor, etc. Mac finally return to the DMV, where Chrom, Sumia, and Cynthia waited outside.

DMV - outside

Mac and everyone get out from the car.

"So, how'd I do ?" Mac asked the instructor.

"Congratulations, you pass, you follow the rules, you completely memorized the functions of each of the vehicle components, and always keep your eye on the road, here get back inside and get your license." The instructor hand over the proof of Mac passing and he went back inside."

"So how was it Lucina ?" Asked Chrom.

"It seems there's a lot to think about when it comes to driving, I'll show you the recording later." Said Lucina.

"I can see why you needed to be tested for this, i guess the same can be said about riding horses." Said Roy.

"Oh that's right, Mac's friend was just here earlier she passed her test as well." Said Sumia.

"Yolanda did ? Maybe I'll congratulate her later."

DMV

As Mac went inside he saw Yolanda getting her license.

"Yolanda i see you pass your test." Said Mac.

"I sure am, and since you're here that means you also pass ?" Asked Yolanda.

"Yep, congrats for passing." Mac congratulate Yolanda. "So what are you going to do now ?

"Congrats for passing too, well I need to go to rehearsal after this, Fortman will pick me up in a few minutes." Answered Yolanda.

"I see, well as they say on stage, break a leg." Mac rooting for Yolanda.

"Thanks, I do hope you can come and see us perform."

Mac then get his license as he and Yolanda exit the building together.

DMV - Outside

As Mac and Yolanda exit the building a black fancy car arrived, a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses came out from the car.

"Fortman nice timing." Yolanda approached the man.

"So how did it go ?" Asked Fortman.

"I pass." Yolanda proudly show off her license.

"Congratulations, i guess. I won't be driving you as often anymore." Fortman answered with disappointed tone.

"Well it can't be helped, mother is busy right now, she's about to open another branch right ? She'll be needing you more than I am right now." Stated Yolanda.

"I suppose that's true...hmm Little Mac ?" Fortman noticed Mac.

"Long time no see as well Fortman." Replied Mac.

"I've heard the news, and well I think its wrong for you to be suspended just like that." The bodyguard seemed to defend Mac.

"It's fine, the suspension have been lifted anyway, it's just PR move." Mac told everyone of his current status."Really ? That's great news Mac !" Yolanda is happy for Mac.

"That so, then I can't wait for your next matches, and... I hope you're not mad anymore." Fortman speak in a low voice.

"Well i know you are her bodyguard, but don't attack every man just for talking to Yolanda, anyway that was a long time ago, i already let it go." Mac forgive Fortman from...prior incident.

"I know, a habit I need to fix, well its good to see you again, and you too Doc, but it's time to leave, Miss Yolanda have rehearsal to attend to, and I do hope you'll able to attend the concert."

"We'll try." Said Mac.

Fortman and Yolanda entered the car and drive away.

"There she goes, well Mac show us your license." Asked Doc as Mac did just that. "Let's take a picture to celebrate." Doc grabbed his phone and take a selfie of him and Mac holding his license.

Richmond Building - Top Floor

The elevator door is opened, Samus and Olimar step out from the elevator, and to their surprise Vivianne is here.

"You !" Vivianne point her finger toward Samus.

"This isn't good, that's the cop lady who tried to arrest us." Said Samus.

"Well we came this far, if we escape again the security will be tighter and we may have to resort to storm the building just to meet with our target." Replied Olimar.

"You're right Olimar, we have to succeed now no matter what." Samus agreeing with Olimar as she's ready for a fight.

"I'm not letting go you crooks get away this time ! Rosie take Mr. Richmond somewhere safe !" Ordered Vivianne.

Samus noticed another door in the building, she fire her Ice Beam to seal the door with ice.

"She freezes the door ! Grandpa stand behind me !" Rosie vow to protect her grandpa.

"Rosie, please be careful." Mr. Richmond worried about Rosie.

"Go Nychus !" Rosie throw her Dino medal and unleash the vivosaur contained inside.

"Last chance ! Put your hands in the air and come quietly !" Vivianne point her gun at Samus and Olimar.

Samus decided to play along for a bit, and then she used her grapple beam to grab Vivianne's gun and toss it away.

"What the ! Okay you asked for it !" Furious, Vivianne decided to throw her Dino medal as well. "Angato !"

Vivian then grabbed her walkie talkie. "Snivels ! Rex ! Get up here ! The woman who tried to break into the building earlier has returned !"

"She's calling for backup !" Exclaimed Samus.

"I got this !" Olimar summoned Yellow Pikmins this time as he head to the elevator.

Vivian command Angato to attack Olimar, but Samus intervene and wrestle it to the ground much to everyone's shock.

"How ! How is she able to wrestle a Vivosaur like that !" Vivianne can't believe her eyes.

Olimar used his hands as a platform for the Yellow Pikmins to stand on, using it's electrical powers the Yellow Pikmins touched the elevator buttons and short circuiting it, breaking the elevator.

As Samus busy dealing with Angato, Nychus rush towards Olimar and bite his helmet. The Yellow Pikmins he summon run towards the Vivosaur's feet and electrocute the Vivosaur, releasing Olimar from it's bite. Olimar opened his bag and put on the Rocket Fist as he punched Nychus across the room.

"Nychus !" Shouted Rosie. "She reached out to her pocket and pick another dino medal.

Seeing this is a chance, Vivianne grabbed her gun again and pointed it at Samus. "Give up ! I still have more Vivosaurs and I have a gun pointed at you."

As Vivianne stands close to Samus, Samus just do a simple leg sweep and kick Vivianne's ankle, causing her to fall.

Angered Vivianne about to pick up her Dino medal again, however Olimar summon swarms of Flying Pikmins, Olimar direct them to swarm over Rosie and Vivianne.

"Ah ! What are these things !" Rosie tried to swat them off with her hands as she dropped her Dino medal.

"Rosie !" Mr. Richmond tried to save his granddaughter only for Olimar to stop him.

The Flying Pikmins not only to distract Rosie and Vivianne, but also ordered to entered their pockets to steal their Dino medals as well.

Samus charged her arm cannon and put it inside Angato's mouth and and blast the Vivosaur, reverting it back to Dino medal.

Seeing this much chaos Mr. Richmond started to yell. "Stop it this instance !" All parties have stop their movements. "Please, just what do you want from me ?"

"Mr. Richmond, we want to apologize for this mess, we just needed to talk to you." Samus dematerialize her power suit. "We're not here to harm anyone."

Samus looked at Olimar as Olimar command his Pikmins to return the Dino medals back to Rosie and Vivianne.

"Vivanne, Rosie, let's hear what they have to say first, let's sit, the couch seems to be still usable." Mr. Richmond take a seat on the couch with Rosie and Vivianne sit on his left and right respectively, while Samus and Olimar sit on the couch across the destroyed table.

"We'll start by introducing ourselves, my name is Samus Aran, and this is my friend Olimar." Olimar waved his hand.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but about that armor you're wearing earlier ?" Asked Vivianne.

"I'll just get right to the point, this may be hard to believe, but I am telling the truth, I came from the future." Samus words surprised the people present, except Olimar for obvious reason.

"T-the future !?" Mr. Richmond, Rosie, and Vivianne is at loss for words.

"Y-yeah, that is hard to believe." Added Rosie. "But that armor is not something that looks like from 21st century either."

"Okay, suppose we believe you, what is someone from the future is trying to break into Richmond Building ?" Questioned Vivianne.

"We wasn't trying to tresspass, but the guard prevent us from meeting with Mr. Richmond and we don't have any other way." Answered Samus.

"We heard of the news, vivosaur rampaging this America country." Said Olimar.

Mr. Richmond is silent on the matter.

"Our purpose of coming here, well I guess I can say I want to 'correct' the timeline." Answered Samus.

"What do you mean ?" Asked Mr. Richmond.

"I don't know if I should speak this much, but in my time Earth has become well known planet in the galaxy, many alien species have migrated onto Earth, and the opposite is also true, some humans choose to leave Earth to explore the galaxy, even migrating to other planets to live there."

Samus's story have fascinates Mr. Richmond, Rosie, and Vivianne.

"And all that thanks to cooperation between Humans and Dinaurians, by working together humans rapidly advancing in science and developing technology to travel to space, as for my origins, I am a human, but I wasn't born on Earth, I was born on a space colony." Explained Samus.

"Wow, this...this is something like you hear on sci-fi." Commented Rosie.

"What about Mr. Olimar there ?" Vivianne pointed at Olimar. "Is he born on space colony as well ?"

"Nope, I am a native to Planet Hocotate, so I guess from your perspective I'm what you call an alien." Answered Olimar. "Though from my perspective Earth is the alien planet."

"Wow ! Another alien !" Rosie sounds excited.

"I see, so it is possible for Humans and Dinaurians to coexist after all...that is what I'm trying to do, but as you can see tragedy struck instead." Mr. Richmond looked down.

"Mr. Richmond, I don't believe what happened is a coincidence, we believe the vivosaur rampage was set up in the first place." Stated Samus.

"What ! Who would ever do such a thing ! And for what !" Mr. Richmond looked shocked.

"We still dont know who specifically behind it, but we do know the organization responsible for it, they're called Neo Subspace Army, a universe spanning organization bent on the destruction of the universe, as for us, we're the ones trying to combat them." Explained Samus.

"Unfortunately for us the enemy seems to have a head start." Added Olimar.

"And so, I know we'll be involving you on our mission, but..."

"Please say no more, I'm willing to lend you my help, I want to see the day where Humans and Dinaurians able to walk side by side like you describe, they already accomplish that feat in Vivosaur Island, but it's time for the world to know of their existence." Said Mr. Richmond.

"Rosie, Vivianne, I want you two to lend our guests your cooperation as well." Ask Mr. Richmond.

"Okay grandpa." Rosie nodded.

"I still have some doubts about this, but i can tell you're not lying at least, so fine I cooperate." Vivianne reluctantly agreed as well.

"Thank you, and so here." Olimar give Mr. Richmond his golden plate, "you can use that to communicate with us, and no this isn't a gold bar, it's just looking like one." Olimar then showed Mr. Richmond on how to use the golden plate.

"Please take it, we still have more in our headquarters." Insisted Samus.

"Oh and sorry about the damages we caused to your office and the elevator as well." Samus apologized to Mr. Richmond.

"It's fine, I'll just call the repairman to fix the elevator, and I'll just buy new furnitures, they already need to be replaced anyway." Replied Mr. Richmond.

"We can at least help with this." Olimar summon his Red Pikmins and they use their fire breath to melt the ice that's blocking the door.

"By the way what happened to the Dinaurians after the unveiling ?" Asked Samus.

"We don't know, the Dinaurians on the island have gone missing, and we weren't able to contact the ones on the spaceship either." Answered Mr. Richmond.

"If it's alright with you, we would like to visit their spaceship." Offered Samus.

"We have a teleporter that leads to the spaceship, but Dr. Diggins said the teleporter is under repair, he said it was badly damaged because of an 'accident' he caused, not sure what that accident is though." Explained Rosie.

"Maybe the repair is done ? It's been a few weeks already, Rosie why don't you show our guest to Dr. Diggins lab ?" Asked Mr. Richmond.

"Okay." Rosie nodded.

"I need to get back to the station, guess I need to remove the flyers now." Remarked Vivianne.

"Since we can't use the elevator we'll just teleport downstairs." Olimar teleported everyone to the lobby.

Richmond Building - Lobby

The four of them arrived downstairs much to the staff surprise.

Ignoring the eyes in them Vivianne noticed Snivels and Rexx standing outside the elevator.

"This elevator must be broken ! How are we suppose to help Vivianne now !" Snivels turned around to see Vivianne standing in the lobby as Rexx barked.

"Vivianne ! And she's standing with the wanted lady !" Remarked Snivels.

"Snivels, Rexx, stop we don't have to arrest them anymore, I'll tell you everything back at the station, but first we need to take down the flyers we plastered around the island." Ordered Vivianne as the two follows her.

"So we're not going after them anymore ?" Asked Snivels.

"No, let's just say we reached an understanding." Answered Vivianne.

Snivels stare at Samus as his face turned red and look away.

The trio then left the building and head back to the station.

Samus and Olimar now follow Rosie to head to Dr. Diggins lab.

Southtown - Pao Pao Cafe

Failing to retrieve the Beanstar piece, Chelsea, Stephen, and Hal decided to take a break and discuss on a plan of how to get the Beanstar piece from Geese Tower.

"Welcome." The bartender greeted the trio.

"This place is packed, is there another place to sit ?" Asked Stephen.

"There's one over there near the counter." Pointed Hal as the trio decided to sit there.

The trio then given the menu.

"This looks good, and everything is affordable." Chelsea looking through the menu.

After a while they all order their food and drink.

"So you two have to get back to work again huh ?" Asked Hal.

"Yeah, I wonder if we can continue helping though ? Honestly being able to travel to another world, is one of a kind experience, i may not be able to do this again in the long run." Lamented Chelsea.

"True, mansion in another world, I get to go to Southtown without needing to drive all the way from New York, and this is my first mission as well." Remarked Stephen.

"Which is why we need to get the Beanstar Piece, tomorrow we won't be able to help our teammates as often as we are now." Said Chelsea.

"Even so how are we going to enter Geese Tower ?" Asked Stephen.

The Cafe door opened and a man with long blond hair entered the joint, he wears a white shirt with a red jacket, blue jeans and a red and white cap. "Yo Richard, as busy as ever I see."

"Hello Terry, here's the menu." Richard gave Terry the menu.

"Wait isn't he ?" Stephen recginze the man as he tride to talk to him. "Excuse me, but are you Terry Bogard ?"

"Hmm ? Why yes I am, you recognize me ?" Asked Terry.

"Y-yeah, my name is Stephen and I'm a huge fan of King of Fighters tournament I always watched it on TV !"

"Oh a fan ! Well I hope I don't disappoint." Smiled Terry.

"No, not at all, I mean it is competition, it's always unpredictable who will win or lose." Remarked Stephen.

"The KOF, oh right I watched that sometimes as well." Added Hal. "The last tournament is rather...what exactly happened in the 14th tournament before ?"

"Yeah, something strange did happened in the 14th tournament, the host of that one got in a huge trouble because of it right ?" Asked Stephen.

"That wasn't his fault to be honest, well all I can say is there something kind of...accident at the finals, sorry I can't get into more detail than that." Said Terry."But didn't something happened at the 15th tournament too ?" Questioned Stephen.

Chelsea's phone make a sound as she looked into her chat, there's a picture of Little Mac holding his license. "Hey guys, looks like Mac passed his test."

Hal and Stephen looked at Chelsea's phone. "Congrats for him, maybe we should tell him about our situation ?"

"Is that Little Mac ?" Asked Terry as he also looked at Chelsea's phone.

"W-why yes, he come to our gym sometimes." Quickly replied Stpehen. "Are you a fan ?"

"Well as fellow martial artists I guess I can say I am interested in him, a champion at 17, not anyone can pull off a feat like that." Said Terry.

"Sure is, it's never too early to start making your dreams come true." Added Hal nervously.

"I agree, which is why I'm proud of my son's growth." Boasted Terry.

"A son ? You have a kid ?" Chelsea and the others react with surprise.

"Yeah, his name is Rock Howard, he's 17 too like Mac." Answered Terry. "I know l said son, but I technically adopt him."

"Adopted huh ? Wait Howard ? He sure is have a last name similar to Geese Howard." Pointed out Stephen."Speaking of Geese Howard, we just went to Geese Tower, and we wanted to meet him." Stated Hal.

"Okay listen, I can tell you three isn't from Southtown, so I advice you to stay away from Geese Tower, Geese Howard may look like an honest businessman to the public, but what he really is a crime boss, he has friends in high places and many of the police in this city is under his payroll, I suggest you don't bring unwanted attention to yourselves." Warned Terry.

Hearing this made the three react with shock.

"Okay here's your food." Richard give the food to Chelsea and the others. "Ready to order Terry ?"

"Yeah I want this one." Terry made his decision.

"Okay, but what happened to those three ? Did you say something ?" Richard whispered in Terry's ear.

"Told them about Geese, didn't seem they take it well." Replied Terry.

"Figures, he really is good at crafting his image, no one knows who he really is if you don't know him personally." Continued Richard.

Chelsea's phone vibrate again as she read new chat. 'Did you get the Beanstar ?'

Chelsea typed back to reply. 'Not yet, you guys come here, we need to talk, we're at Pao Pao Cafe in Southtown.' And send it to Mac.

"Well I have to say this is a good meal." Hal praised the food he eats.

"I agree, I can see why this place is a must visit in Southtown." Agreed Stephen.

"Hey thanks, and look I do hope that now that you know Geese true colors you won"t be too disappointed, it always like betrayal when someone looks good in public, but in truth that image is just a cover for sinister purpose." Richard tried to console the three.

"It's alright, I'm just glad we found out now, guess we just have to let go of that stuff we lost." Stated Chelsea.

"What did you lose anyway that it ended up on Geese Tower of all places...sorry I guess that was very nosy of me." Apologized Terry.

"Don't mind him, Terry can be a busy body at time, here's your meal." Richard gave Terry the food he ordered.

The Cafe door opened as Mac and co. entered the building.

"Mac ! Over here !" Chelsea waved her hand to signal Mac.

The entire customer looked at Mac and whispered along themselves.

"Don't worry Mac I'll act as your shield again." Whispered Doc Louis.

Seeing Doc Louis acting like a bodyguard none of the customers dare to approach Mac and continue sitting at their table as Mac walked to Chelsea and co.

"Taking a lunch break ?" Asked Mac.

"Yeah, oh and we saw the picture, congrats on getting your license." Stephen congratulate Mac on passing his test.

"Thanks, I was a bit nervous, but I'm glad I pass my test." Replied Mac.

"Hey are you Little Mac ?" Asked Terry.

"Yes ?" Replied Mac.

"I'm Terry Bogard, a big fan." Terry introduced himself to Mac.

"Oh thanks, I always try to deliver a good performance." Said Mac. ("Terry Bogard ? That name sounds familiar.")

"Maybe we can spar sometimes, I am well versed in martial arts as well." Said Terry. "Have you ever watch King of Figthers ?"

"KOF ? Yes I have seen it." Answered Mac. "Now did you mentioned it you do look familiar, and now i remember ! Although i think theres an incident with the 14th tournament if i recall ?"

"Y-yeah, but it's all resolved now." Replied Terry sheepishly.

"Well it was nice chatting, but we have to go now, let's pay the bill first." Chelsea, Stephen, and Hal opened their wallet and pay for their meals.

"Wait before you leave, you're Doc Louis right ? Little Mac coach ?" Asked Terry. "My dad is a fan off yours you know."

"Really ? Tell him i appreciate it, but my days on the ring are behind me, I'm focused on training the next generation now." Replied Doc as he turned to Chelsea. "So should we head to Geese Tower now ?"

Terry got up and his face turned stern. "My dad was murdered by Geese Howard, so I advice you stay away from him, he's not the man he presented himself to the public."

"R-right, thank you for the warning." Terry went back to his seat as Mac and the others leave the Cafe.

Pao Pao Cafe - Empty Alley

"Well that was..." The others can't seem to belive Chelsea's story.

"That's what I'm trying to talk about." Interjected Chelsea.

"But is it true though ? Is Geese Howard really secretly a crime boss and his image is just an act ?" Asked Stephen."It's hard to tell from just Terry's claim, and we don't have any other clues...if what he said is true then either most of the populace doesn't know about Geese true colors or those under his payroll will shill for him." Added Hal.

"Why don't we try asking Palutena ?" Suggested Chrom.

"Palutena ? But she left Earth long time ago, did she really know what's going on if she never watches over Earth anymore ?" Asked Chelsea.

"We could at least try, I doubt asking around would yield result anyway." Stephen agreed with Chrom suggestion.

"Okay, so should we pray or something ?" Asked Mac.

"I think we can just contact her with the golden plate." Chelsea tapped her golden plate to speak with Palutena.

The Goddess then answered the call as her hologram appeared above the golden plate. "Yes ? Do you need divine intervention ?" Joked Palutena.

"More like divine advice, Palutena do you know about a man called Geese Howard ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Right, that's where your mission location right ? Getting the Beanstar from Geese Tower...unfortunately it won't be easy, Geese Howard is an evil man, I suggest you stole the Beanstar with stealth instead if you wish to avoid confrontation." Answered Palutena.

"So it's true then ? Geese Howard public image is just an act ?" Continued Chelsea.

"Yes, his true profession is a mob boss, while I believe you can take him on, Geese could mobilize Southtown to go after you. He have friends in high places, and most of the police are on his payroll." Continued Palutena.

"I see, thank you for the answer Palutena, we'll be sure to heed your advice." Chelsea then end the communication.

"Guess Terry Bogard is right, Geese Howard isn't the man the public think he is." Said Hal.

"Yeah, I remember that sometimes our company have hire people from Howard Connection before, to think it's a front for criminal organization." Chelsea looked dejected.

"What's done is done, there's no way anyone would know that Geese Howard isn't the man he presented himself as." Stephen assured Chelsea as he tap her shoulder.

"So what are we going to do ? Mob boss or not we can't just break into his property to finish our mission, we are still trespassing into his property." Stephen pointing out the situation.

"Don't lose hope just yet, Geese Howard may have friends in high places, but we have friends beyond Earth, and I know who to contact." Mac grabbed his golden plate and contact a certain someone.

Soon Mewtwo teleported in front of the heroes. ("Mac said you needed my help ?")

"Yeah, the owner of Geese Tower turns out to be a crime boss, I think breaking in would be...not the correct choice." Said Mac.

("I think I get it, Red may have raided Team Rockets base, but even he knows trespassing Giovanni's house is also a crime, very well I'll just teleport the Beanstar out, that way there's no need to go back to Geese Tower.") Mewtwo used its psychic power to scan the interior of the tower, and soon it found the Beanstar piece, Mewtwo then just teleport it to its hand.

("Mission accomplished.") Mewtwo levitate the Beanstar piece around it.

"Thanks for the help Mewtwo." Mac thanked the genetic Pokémon. "You go back ahead with the Beanstar."

Mewtwo then use it's golden plate to return to the mansion and taking the Beanstar along with it.

"That was anticlimactic, guess mission accomplished ?" Pondered Stephen. "Was there ever any need to go to Geese Tower in the first place ?"

"If we didn't go there, we would never know Geese Howard true colors, so that's something right." Chelsea assured Stephen.

"You're right, sorry about that, that was coming out of nowhere right ?" Stephen apologized.

"Technically you are a newcomer, I can see why you feel overwhelmed, the same did happen to me when I was first summoned, but of course I realize there are something only we can do." Chelsea explained this to Stephen.

"So then, since our mission is complete should we head back as well ?" Asked Chrom.

"Samus is still at Vivosaur Island right ? Should we head there now ?" Asked Lucina.

"Hold on, we almost get into trouble for trying to sneak in to Richmond Building, we should check with Samus first." As Mac about to contact Samus the heroes are surrounded by mafia thugs.

Fossil Center

Wanting to meet with Dr. Diggins Rosie took Samus and Olimar to the Fossil Center, this building is where fossil cleaning and revival happens.

"Hello there Rosie, are you here for fossil cleaning ?" The receptionist greeted Rosie.

"Not this time Wendy, is Dr. Diggins available ? We need to see him." Said Rosie.

"He is inside, but he said he's busy at the moment, I'll check if he's done." Wendy grabbed the telephone and call Dr. Diggins. "Hello doctor, Rosie would like to see you, she also seems to bring people with her..hmm ? Okay I'll tell her to wait."

Wendy put the phone down. "He said he'll be here shortly why don't you and your friends wait here."

"Okay, let's sit there you two." Rosie, Samus, and Olimar take a seat on the center while they wait for Dr. Diggjns.

"So Ms. Samus, you've been traveling to space a lot ?" Asked Rosie.

"Yeah, it is required for my work." Answered Samus.

"What you do for a living ?" Asked Rosie.

"I am a bounty hunter, but I also accept mercenary work or aiding the military." Answered Samus.

"Wow, that sounds like a dangerous job." Commented Rosie.

"It is, I know my profession lies at the gray zone but I assure you I'm not the kind to accept jobs with just anyone, I will never accept a job that involves terrorism or criminal related in anyway shape or form." Answered Samus.

"And you Mr. Olimar ?' Asked Rosie.

"I'm just a simple delivery man, my profession is not as 'risky' as Samus here." Remarked Olimar.

"A space delivery means you also not free from trouble as well." Remarked Samus. "Olimar got stranded in uninhabited planet, he has to scrounge what he can find to fix his rocket and go back home, it would be easy if that's all, but he has to contend with the wildlife of PNF-404.'

"Not sure if that's worth bragging about, my Pikmins are the ones doing the heavy lifting." Replied Olimar. "And my goal is just i wanted to go home, not getting rid the scum of the universe like Samus."

"You got Master Hand seal of approval so, someone noticed your exploits." Continued Samus.

"Alright, alright, my exploits may not be as well known as you, but it's still an achievement worth being proud of, my kids sure like it when I told them the story how I survive stranded on an uninhabited planet." Said Olimar.

"So, how the two of you met ?" Asked Rosie.

"Well that's..." Before Samus can answer the door to the lab owned and Dr. Diggins came out.

"Alright Rosie, you need me for something ? Please come inside." Dr. Diggins went back to his lab and Rosie and co. follow him inside.

Dr. Diggins Lab

"Okay Rosie, what can I do for you ?" Asked Dr. Diggins.

"We wanted to use the teleporter, we want to know what happens to the Dinaurians, and why the attack happen, people have blamed the Dinaurians for causing the attack, accusing them of being an invader." Answered Rosie.

"I agree, but about that, I've been using the teleporter however they seem to block access to the Starship, I've been working on removing the block from here." Explains Dr. Diggins.

"Any luck with that ?" Asked Rosie.

"It seems I'm finally able to disable the lock, here why don't you or your friends try standing on it."

Rosie, Samus, and Olimar stand on the teleporter platform, Dr. Diggins activate the machine, a beam of light appeared above and zapped the trio, teleporting them away.

Outer Space

Instead of the Dinaurian starship the heroes got sent to Outer Soace instead, Samus quickly activate her armor and Olimar already wearing a space suit in the first place..Rosie however have no such protection as she become suffocated.

Samus quickly grabbed Rosie and used her golden plate to teleport back to Earth.

Dr. Diggins Lab

The heroes return back to the lab, Rosie desperately gasping for air once they're back.

"What happened !" Exclaimed Dr. Diggins.

"It's...not there, the Dinaurian Statship it's not at the teleporter destination." Answered Samus.

"What ? But the Dinaurians never changed their locations before...could they be lying to us ?" Pondered Dr. Diggjns.

"N-no that c-cant be." Rosie struggled to speak.

"Rosie are you ok ?" Asked Olimar.

"Y-yeah, I can breathe properly again." Rosie then turns to Dr. Diggins. "There has to be a reason for this, Hunter and I, we believe that one day humans and Dinaurians can live side by side on Earth."

"Rosie I know you want to believe in them. But the evidence pretty much stacked against them." Replied Dr. Diggins.

"We haven't heard anything from Hunter yet, its still too early to jump to conclusions." Insisted Rosie.

"Sorry, we'll take her back with us, c'mon Rosie let's go back to your grandpa." Samus and Olimar take Rosie back to Richmond Building, as Samus used her golden plate to teleport them back.

"Hmm...that golden plate is quite troublesome indeed." Muttered Dr. Diggins.

Richmond Building - Top Floor

Samus and co. return and ready to report to Mr. Richmond.

"We're back." Said Samus.

"So how did it go ?" Asked Mr. Richmond.

"Apparently the Dinaurians move their starship, the teleporter sent us to outer space instead." Said Olimar.

"Outer Space ! Rosie are you..."

"It's alright sir, we managed to come back quickly, although Rosie did need to rest for a bit." Said Samus.

"Right, Rosie go back to your room and take a rest for a while." Ordered Mr. Richmond as Rosie nodded and went to her room."Looking at this makes me miss my family." Olimar looking at the relationship between Rosie and Mr. Richmond."You know Olimar, with the golden plate we can go anywhere anytime, why don't you visit your family, some of us already did that." Samus encouraging Olimar."Maybe I will." Olimar looking forward to go home.

"Thank you for saving my granddaughter, I can't believe all of this is happening."

"We will get to the bottom of this." Assured Samus.

"Yeah, well actually I already sent a boy to investigate this case, his name is Hunter, he has the most contact with a Dinaurian, so far we haven't heard anything from him yet."

"How old is he ?" Asked Olimar.

"He's 10 years old, same as Rosie's age, although even though he's a talented fighter I still have my doubts about sending a kid to a mission like this, but INTERFOL ask for his cooperation and he accepted, I wonder if I should stepped in back then." Mr. Richmond is getting worried.

"Could you tell us where you last heard him ? He might be dealing more than vivosaur related crime." Said Samus.

"Yes of course, the last time we heard from him is he's at..."

Pao Pao Cafe - Empty Alley

"Uh...what's going on ?" Lucina confused by what just happened.

"They look like mafia thugs." Remarked Little Mac.

"You don't think Geese already on to us is he ?" Asked Stephen.

"That's impossible, he can't be suspecting us already...unless he's a part of them." Speculate Chelsea.

"Well well well who do we have here !" Said one of the thug, he's a man wearing an eyepatch. "If it isn't the yoga instructor, so we meet again."

"You !...who are you again ?" Chelsea seems to forget this man.

"What ! You really forget ! You're the woman who somehow make my right eye blind ! Now I have to wear an eyepatch all thanks to you !" The thug expressed his frustration.

"Oh right, I remember you, that's what you get for threatening to shoot me." Remarked Chelsea.

"It was suppose to be just a threat to get him to surrender !" He pointed at Stephen. "Once he comply I'm offering you the opportunity to sleep with me ! The future leader of NILE !"

Chelsea can only roll her eyes. "Wow, what an honor, unfortunately low ranking thugs aren't my type, and keep on dreaming, if you're going to keep harassing us your dream will be cut short anyway."

"Doc, did you hear that ? Looks like these aren't Geese Howard's goons." Whispered Mac.

"Yeah, but thus means the NILE guys still after us, but how do they know we're here ?" Asked Doc. "Could they also be...?"

"It's possible, but we're surrounded and they eyepatch guy might be the leader here and he have the advantage, we have to isolate him from his colleagues." Whispered Mac. "I doubt their boss will explain the important stuff to the grunts.

"Father and I can do something about it." Said Lucina.

"But if interrogating him is our goal we may have to split up for the moment, to divide their number." warned Chrom.

"But most of us never been here before, what if we got lost ?" Asked Roy.

"Here's the plan, we will rendezvous at Southtown East Park, from what I've seen, that place is still full of nature, we can hide among the trees there, we can contact each other with the golden plate, if anyone giving up on finding the rendezvous location, they can always go back to the mansion." Said Mac.

"Hey ! What are you all whispering over there ! Just come here quietly !" The leader pull out his gun.

"Everyone understand the plan ?" Asked Mac as everyone nodded.

"Okay now !" Chrom facing the thugs on the heroes right side while Lucina facing the left side, Chelsea stand with Lucina, while Stephen side with Chrom. Lucina generate electricity from her hand and electrocute the thugs on her side with Chelsea using her Wii Fit technique, attacking the thugs with afterimages of yoga poses.

Chrom did the same as he electrocute the thugs with electricity, however Stephen uses Sun Salutation as he still haven't mastered Wii Fit technique yet.

With all the thugs are down the heroes escape and split up.

The thug leader forced himself to get up after being electrocuted, he then shouted an order. "Get up you idiots ! Don't let any of them get away !"

South Town - Sound Beach

Chrom, Roy, Hal, Doc, and Chelsea run all the way to the Sound Beach.

"Did we lose them ?" Asked Roy.

"Looks like it, but they will come after us, so anyone ready to get back home ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Not yet, those people are involved in criminal organization right ? Don't you think it's best if we get rid of them ?" Suggested Chrom.

"H-hey now, this isn't your world, there's no need to kill the enemy." Replied Doc. "And the law here work differently from your world."

"But can we rely on the police for this ? Most of them are under Geese Howard payroll." Pointed Hal.

"Well they are under Geese Howard's payroll, not NILE payroll, so maybe it could work ?" Pondered Doc.

"Sorry to interrupt, but are we at a beach ?" Asked Roy.

The heroes looked forward to see that they are on a beach.

"What should we do ? We could blend in with the locals, but on the other hand if they did find us we could end up fighting." Asked Chelsea. "And fighting in public places will attract attention."

"And that would also arouse suspicion." Added Chrom.

"Let's hide near that surf shack first, we can discuss our plan there." Suggested Chelsea as the heroes went to the surf shack.

"Okay so what's the plan ? I know our goal is to separate the leader from his cronies, but that would be impossible if they keep chasing after us." Said Doc.

"If only Robin were here, he could devise a plan in short notice." Said Chrom.

"I have an idea, I'll use myself as a decoy, I pretend to be a helpless kid." Said Roy.

"In the middle of the public like that ? Roy if youre going to mobilize the beach goers that's not gonna work, they know they're dealing with the mafia, and they rather stay away." Doc pointing out the flaw in Roy's plan.

"And also, won't a group of people like us seems strange ?" Commented Hal.

"I know, the plan here is for you four to hide nearby and ambush the thugs, it would make it like several strangers helping a helpless kid." Explained Roy.

"Well that could work." Remarked Chelsea. "But what about you Doc ? This is a real fight now, not in a ring anymore and not to mention you're retired." Said Chelsea.

"Those NILE thugs have been a pain to me for months now, and also, I may have retired, but my fist still got it." Assured Doc.

"Then it's settled, let's just hope they find us." And so the heroes leave the shack and execute Roy's plan.

Roy is now deliberately walking in the open as Doc, Chelsea, Hal, and Chrom hiding by blending in with the crowd.

"It's so hot here." Because of the heat on the beach Chrom is feeling hot and sweaty, he decide to unbuttoned his shirt, unfortunately for him, his hiding place just happen to near several women.

"Hey there handsome, a buttoned shirt and long pants ? Not what I expect people to wear going to the beach, but who cares, why don't we have some good time."

"Huh...? Please no, I'm a married man with kids already." Chrom tried to refuse the 'invitation' however the women are being persistent.

"Wearing tracksuit to a beach is..." Doc removing his tracksuit, exposing his bare body.

And lo and behold, the thugs did chase after the heroes, although they move sluggishly after being electrocuted. "There he is ! I remember the red headed boy !"

The thugs run from the street to the beach to go after Roy.

One of the thugs grabbed Roy's arm. "We got you brat ! Now where's the others !"

Deliberately letting himself got caught Roy scream for help. "HEELLPP ! I've been caught by a scary man !"

While Doc and Chelsea quickly spring into action, Chrom is getting occupied as the women refuse to let him go.

"Seriously ? Trouble making on a beach ? Well I suppose I have to lend a hand then." A woman sunbathing on the beach also heard Roy's cry for help, she has a short blond hair and wore red two piece swimsuit and while the other beach goers looked scared as they recognize the thugs clothing, she shows no fear whatsoever as she got up and approached the thugs.

"Hey !" Shouted the woman which got the thugs, and Doc, Hal, and Chelsea's attention. "Picking on a kid, very pathetic for a grown man don't you think."

"Shut it lady ! We're from NILE and you should know better than to mess with us !" Exclaimed the thug.

"NILE huh ? Luckily that organization is on my list to take down." The woman then jumped and do a diving kick on the face of the thug holding Roy.

Doc and Chelsea are amazed by what she pulls...but then they refocus and beat up the rest of the thugs, Doc punches one of them so hard it sounds like his jaw is broken while Chelsea do a leg sweep and do an axe kick on the thug's back.

Hal grabbed a pile of sand in his hand and throw it at the thug's face.

As one of the thugs get back up, Chrom steps in and punch him down.

The thugs forced to run, but they left with parting words. "You ! You will regret defying us !"

"There they go, sorry for being late you guys." Chrom apologized.

"Where were you anyway ?" Asked Chelsea.

"Those girls won't leave me alone, even when I said I'm a married man with kids, they even remove their swimsuit and flash their breasts at me !" Explained Chrom.

"I guess having a hot husband has it's downsides, and I should apologize that those girls have no self respect either, honestly how they can find a good man when they keep acting like easy targets." Chelsea facepalming herself. "Though I'm impressed Chrom, you didn't succumb to their tactics."

"Of course not, I'm not that kind of man." Replied Chrom. "I had to shake them off gently or I might hurt them, that's why it took a while for me to get away."

"So uh...thanks for the save miss." Doc thanked the woman.

"No problem, I just can't stand by when I can do something, wait are you Doc Louis ?" Asked the woman.

"Yes I am, you've heard of me ?" Asked Doc.

"Who doesn't know Doc Louis in the world of martial arts, well my name is Mary Ryan, i've heard of your accomplishments." The woman introduce herself. "But, you're a mentor to Little Mac aren't you ? Is he here ?"

"Well..Mac and I got separated, we wanted to go to the East Park, but we got chased by this thugs and..."

"NILE huh ? They have been very active lately, it seems they're targeting athletes and martial artists, I'm amazed you managed to avoid them so far." compimented Mary.

"Well...you know I may have retired but I still got it." Said Doc.

"Well if you want to go to East Park I can tell you where you need to go." Mary give the heroes the direction needed to reached East Park.

"Thank you miss Mary." Thanked Roy.

"You're welcome, but why does those thugs are after you too ?" Asked Mary.

"Oh, it's because...I'm Doc's new protégé maybe ?" Replied Roy.

"Sorry, I think we need to get going, and again thanks for the help." Said Doc as the heroes quickly left the beach.

"Hey wait !" Mary tried to stop them but she was too late. "What an odd group of people, and also I would like to offer them protection."

"Guess the leader not on this group." Said Roy.

"Yeah, I thought that since Chelsea with us he's bound to show up, he seems to have an interest in you." Joked Doc.

Annoyed, Chelsea pull Doc's ear. "Not funny Doc, and lowly thugs aren't my type."

"Ow, ow, ow OK just kidding." Apologizing, Chelsea remove her hands from Doc's ear.

Chrom is now buttoning his shirt again. "Didn't think we would be going to a beach."

"While I'm grateful for Mary's help, but isn't our plan compromised ?" Asked Chelsea.

"I don't think it matters anymore, hopefully that fight isn't caught on camera, but that's asking the impossible." Sighed Doc.

"Let's...just focus on task at hand, we can deal with the media later." The heroes then make their way to the East Park.

South Town - Basketball Court

"We finally lost them, although their movements does felt sluggish after being electrocuted." Said Lucina.

"Don't let your guard down just yet, I doubt they will stop chasing after us." Replied Gerome.

"Hmm..." Lucina assessing her surroundings. "We are at a park like place, but is this where we supposed to meet up ?"

"We have to ask around unfortunately." Sighed Gerome.

"Okay, but before that." Lucina look at the small building that looks like a restroom. "I need to use the restroom."

"Fine, I'll stand guard outside, I have to say it's very convenient to have a public restroom like this." Remarked Gerome.

"Good thing Mac told me about this beforehand." Lucina went inside the female restroom and locked the door.

Not long after Lucina is finally done with her business as she came out from the restroom. "Sorry for the wait Gerome, we can continue now..." Lucina looked at Gerome surrounded by girls.

"Hey, where do you live ?"

"What school do you go to ?"

"Can I have your number ?"

Gerome is exasperated after being bombarded with questions from the girls, he then saw Lucina trying to hold a laughter.

"M-my girlfriend is waiting for me so..." Gerome quickly get away from the girls and run towards Lucina.

"Aww he's taken." One girl looks disappointed.

"Well I'm not giving up just yet." As the girls walked away one of them slipped a paper to Gerome's pants pocket as she follow her friends. "Call me."

"What is this ?" Gerome grabbed the paper and see numbers written on the paper.

"I hhink that's what Mac's called a phone number, she's asking you to reach out to her." Teased Lucina.

"Seriously ? Even though I told them you're my...girlfriend.." Gerome's face turns red.

"Maybe she knows you're lying, either way I'm impressed, even girls from this world can't resist your charms." Lucina making a mischievous smirk.

"I didn't do this on purpose !" Exclaimed Gerome as he tear the paper apart.

"I'm kidding, well good thing Inigo isn't here, he would be fuming with jealousy, even wishing a girl would manhandled him." Lucina let's out a small laugh.

"He's just super desperate...that said, I think I'm the one who needs to use the restroom next." Gerome headed to the men's room now.

"Guess I'm waiting here...hmm ?" Right across the restroom there's a basketball court, and Lucina saw several boys playing basketball. Curious, Lucina walked closer to get a better look.

She saw a blond haired man bouncing a ball, and on the opposing side she saw two other boys, one have a rather muscular build and having red hair, the other have more slender built and black hair.

"What's wrong Rock ? Getting cold feet ?" The red haired boy taunting him.

"Just figuring out a strategy." Rock run towards the two guys, however as he gets closer Rock exploit the gap between the red haired man's legs and bounce the ball there. Rock runs past the two guys and grabbed the ball again.

"What the ! Jae Hoon ! Stop him ! I'll flank him from the left !" Commanded the red haired man.

"I'll leave it to you Dong Hwan !" Said Jae Hoon.

Once again Rock is cornered, but that doesn't matter as Rock about to shoot the ball to the basket, Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon jumped to stop Rock, however Rock only pulling a feint.

Taking advantage of the fact the two can't quickly jump again Rock shoot the ball for real this time, and it landed to the basket. "Guess I won."

"This sucks, and I thought we have rhe advantage since it's 2vs1." Lamented Dong Hwan.

Dong Hwan then saw Lucina is watching them. "H-hey guys there's a girl watching."

"Not again, are you gonna make a move on her now ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Why not ? She look pretty." Smirked Dong Hwan as he walk towards Lucina.

"He sure is confident." Remarked Rock.

"Honestly, this attitude of him causing him lot of problem and yet he never seem to learn." Jae Hoon embarrassed by his brother attitude. "C'mon Rock, let's stop him before he humiliate himself."

"Hey there miss, how long have you been watching ? Just so you know I was just going easy on my friend, he's a total amateur at basketball." Bragged Dong Hwan.

"Can you repeat that again Dong Hwan ?" Rock and Jae Hoon stand behind him as Dong Hwan yelped in surprise.

"Sorry about my brother, he can't seem to stop acting like an idiot whenever there's a pretty girl nearby." Jae Hoon glared at Dong Hwan.

"It's ok, I haven't been here long." Replied Lucina.

"I'm Dong Hwan by the way, this is my younger brother Jae Hoon, and my friend Rock Howard." Dong Hwan introduce himself and Jae Hoon and Rock to Lucina.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lucina." Lucina introduce herself.

"Lucina, that's a nice name, so are you here alone ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Wel...(I can't tell them I'm being chased by criminals, I just hope they fall for this.) No, i'm waiting for someone, he's at the restroom over there." Said Lucina.

"He ? Are you with your boyfriend !?" Dong Hwan wanting to know.

"Dong Hwan that's none of your business !" Jae Hoon pull his brother away from Lucina.

"Well if you're waiting, why don't you play with us, for the time being, we could use another player, how about it Rock ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Oh..well...I don't mind." Rock's face turned red.

"But..I never play this game before." Said Lucina.

"You never play basketball before ? Surely at school you must've played at least once right ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Well...I didn't go to school, I was tutored." Answered Lucina.

"I guess you're one of those sheltered rich kids then, okay then let's expand your horizon a bit, I'll be teaching you everything you need to know about basketball." Boasted Dong Hwan.

"No you're not, knowing you you must have ulterior motive, I'm doing the teaching." Jae Hoon grabbed the ball from Dong Hwan.

Annoyed that his brother stole his chance, Dong Hwan grabbed his phone and take a picture of Jae Hoon and Lucina.

"Hey did you take a picture of us ? I can heat the sound you know !" Jae Hoon getting mad.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I wonder what would happen if your girlfriend saw this picture." Smirked Dong Hwan.

"You know something, Rock you teach Lucina, I'm going to have heart to heart talk with my brother." Jae Hoon give the ball to Rock as he angrily chased Dong Hwan.

"Those two sure are lively, I guess that's what it's like to have siblings." Remarked Lucina. "What about you Rock ? Do yiu have any siblings ?"

"N-no, I'm an only child." Replied Rock. "What about you ?"

"I have a younger sister, and a cousin 1 year younger than me." Answered Lucina.

"I guess your family is just as lively ?" Asked Rock.

"Something like that, I guess you'll be the one teaching me, where do we start ?" Lucina smiled at Rock, which makes him blush.

"Uh..umm...you see...we'll start by bouncing the ball." Rock begin demonstrating.

"You have to move while bouncing the ball, like this." Rock did exactly that. "It should be obvious, but the goal of this game is to score points by putting the ball on the enemy basket."

"Y-yeah, that much I know." Lucina Replied awkwardly as Rock beginning to be at ease talking to Lucina.

"Okay, now we'll try the shooting pose." As Rock about to show Lucina a shooting pose a voice calling Lucina's name.

"Lucina ! Where are you !" Shouted Gerome.

"That's Gerome ! Sorry Rock, maybe next time." Lucina run towards Gerome. "I'm here !"

"Lucina there you are, thank Naga you're fine, please don't wander off like that, you know we're unfamiliar with this place." Said Gerome.

"Sorry about that, I was just curious about the game those guys played." Lucina pointed at the basketball court.

"This is the basketball that Mac told me." Said Gerome.

Seeing Gerome and Lucina together Dong Hwan stopped running, Jae Hoon quickly took his phone and delete the picture as Dong Hwan approach the two.

"So, Lucina this guy is your boyfriend ?" Asked Dong Hwan.

"Well We..."

"That's correct, and now that you know, Lucina is already taken, so don't bother making a move on her." Gerome wrapped his arm on Lucina in order to make the lie convincing.

"Dong Hwan, please stop bothering Lucina." Jae Hoon faced Lucina and Gerome. "I apologize for my brother idiocy, whenever he saw a pretty girl he tend to lose his brain cells."

"Jae Hoon, some brother are you, and anyway I'm not convinced you two are a couple, so let's settle this with a match." Dong Hwan grabbed the basketball and toss it at Gerome, if you win I'll leave you alone, if I win tell me your relationship with Lucina."

"Fine you're on !" Gerome accept Dong Hwan's challenge.

"Gerome a word." Lucina pull Gerome's arm and dragged him away. "What are you doing ? And you never even play basketball before, not to mention the longer we stay here we will dragged them into our problem, those thugs are still looking for us right ?"

"S-sorry Lucina, I guess I did get a little heated up, you're right we have important priorities." Gerome apologized to Lucina.

"It's fine, I suppose I have to break Dong Hwan's heart as well." Said Lucina.

They done talking and return to Rock and co.

"Done talking ? You're not chickening out do you ?" Taunted Dong Hwan.

"Dong Hwan please stop provoking my boyfriend." Lucina defended Gerome and clingjng to his arm which shocks Dong Hwan...and Rock, and Gerome as well.

"We wanted to go to East Park, which way should we take ?" Asked Lucina.

"If you want to go to East Park I can tell you the way." Jae Hoon give the direction to Lucina and Gerome as he give the ball to Jae Hoon.

"Thank you Jae Hoon, well it's nice to meet all of you, but we have to go now, c'mon Gerome." Lucina and Gerome now leave and head to East Park.

"There they go." Jae Hoon looked at Dong Hwan who looked dejected. "What am I gonna do to you ?"

"I should've at least get her number !" Screamed Dong Hwan.

"Wow you're really serious about Lucina do you ? Even though you just met." Remarked Jae Hoon.

"I thought she might be the one..." mumbled Dong Hwan as Jae Hoon rolled his eyes.

"The one ? Coming from you I find it hard to believe, anyway Rock what about you ? Were you able to strike a conversation with her ? Knowing how you're shy around women ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Huh ? Oh...yeah I can speak coherent sentences at least, seeing her innocent smile is just..." Rock's face turned red again.

"Are you crushing on her too then ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"What ! No ! Its not ! I mean..." Rock fumbling for words.

"You too Rock ? If it's you I don't have to worry, you'll just speak gibberish anyway, guess I have to wait until Lucina broke up with her boyfriend." Said Dong Hwan.

And now the mafia thugs reached the basketball court looking for Lucina and Gerome.

"Hey you kids ! Did you see a girl with dark blue hair with a boy with spiky red hair ?" Asked the thug.

Rock and co. suspicious about the thugs decided to lie. "Yeah, they went that way." Rock pointed at the wrong direction.

"You brats better not lying ! We're with the mafia and you don't want to make a fool out of us !" Threatened the thugs.

The boys then whispered among each other.

"What should we do ? I'm confident we can take them down, but mafia always came for revenge right ?" Asked Dong Hwan.

"They don't look like Korean mafia, Dong Hwan and we will return back to Korea, but what about you Rock ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"These don't look like Geese's men...I really hate to have to resort to this, but doesn't seem like there's any other way." Grumbled Rock.

"Hey ! What are you brats whispering about !" Yelled the thug. "You really are lying do you !?"

Rock then went on to confront the thugs. "I was thinking of dealing things peacefully, my name is Rock Howard, son of Geese Howard, you heard of him I presume."

"G-geese Howard son !?" The thugs starting to look scared.

"Yes, now knowing this are you sure you still wish to cause problems, South Town is my father's territory, you would do well not to mess around in his turf." Continued Rock.

"W-what should we do ?" Asked the thug.

"Y-you're lying ! Geese Howard have no son ! You're bluffing !" One of the thugs deny Rock's claims.

"My existence is hidden, but if you still don't believe me." Rock emanates bluish energy from his body, "what color does Geese ki have ?"

"Ehehe...you know what, we will be going now, sorry to bother you." The thugs begin to runaway.

"They're gone, hopefully I never have to do that again." Complained Rock.

"Why would a mafia group chases after Lucina ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"And hey ! Those thugs run to the same way Lucina and Gerome !" Exclaimed Dong Hwan.

"I'll have to warn them !" Rock run from the court and headed towards his Honda bike, Rock turn on his bike and drive to catch up to Lucina.

"Oh man, now Rock is going to look cool to Lucina." Lamented Dong Hwan.

"Now's not the time Dong Hwan, we need to tell Terry about this !" Jae Hoon grabbed Dong Hwan's arm to go look for Terry.

Lucina and Gerome walked towards their destination. "It shouldn't be too far now, it should be faster if we ride a Pegasus or wyvern, but Mac said those creatures don't exist here and bringing one would bring unwanted attention." Said Lucina.

"Yeah, too bad i kinda want for Minerva to see this world as well." Replied Gerome.

"You know Gerome, that was a great acting earlier, pretending to be my boyfriend so Dong Hwan won't be too persistent." Lucina compliment Gerome.

"Oh..yeah...acting." Gerome replied incoherently.

"What's wrong ?" Asked Lucina.

"Lucina, well actually..." Before Gerome can say anything a shouting can be heard from behind.

"Stop right there !" The thugs shouted as Lucina and Gerome turned around. " Can't believe were running to the right way."

"They catch up to us." Said Lucina.

"We got you now, now come along with us quietly, and nobody gets hurt." Demanded the thugs.

"You know Lucina, maybe I'm showing Minerva tius world anyway." Said Gerome.

"Wait Gerome you can't." Lucina tried to stop Gerome.

"There's no one else here, and besides if wyvern really don't exist here, who would believe ramblings of mere thugs." Said Gerome.

"Are you willing to gamble about this Gerome ?" Asked Lucina.

"Yes, I would." Gerome grabbed his golden plate and summon Minerva. "Minerva, lunch time." Mnnerva let's out a loud roar.

At the almost same time Rock almost catch up to Lucina, but seeing Minerva he quickly make a turn and hide behind the trees. "What was that ? A dragon ?" Because if Minerva's roar earlier Rock's bike sound is covered, meaning Lucina and Gerome had no idea Rock is following them.

Minerva rushed towards the thugs, the thugs screamed in terror as they're chased by a wyvern, one of the thugs fell down and Minerva bite the thugs leg and chewing it.

Minerva using its sharp teeth biting and tearing the thugs flesh and eating him.

Seeing the other thugs escaped Minerva about to chase them but Gerome stops her.

"That's okay Minerva, let them go, why don't you go back to mother." Gerome teleport Minerva back to the mansion. "Save to say they won't be chasing after us for the time being."

Lucina and Gerome continue walking, but then she ask him a question. "Say Gerome, what is it that you want to tell me earlier ? Before those thugs catch up to us."

"Umm...I forgot, I tell you if I remember it." Replied Gerome as the two made their way to East Park.

Lucina and Gerome then heard a machine sound approaching them, it was Rock with his bike.

"Rock ?" Questioned Lucina.

"Were you following us ?" Gerome sounded suspicious.

"No, but i can give you a ride if you'd like, my bike can hold two more people..i think."

"I'm sitting on the middle." Gerome hopped on and sit on Rock's bike.

"Guess i'm in the back." Lucina sit on the back as they squeeze to make room.

Sighing, Gerome holding on to Rock if only to stop Lucina from holding on to Rock as Lucina holding on to Gerome, and then they all headed to East Park.

SouthTown - City

Sumia, Cynthia, Stephen, and Mac arrived at the city part of South Town.

"I think we lost them." Said Stephen.

"They could still be chasing after us, so don't let your guard down." Said Mac.

"We still should ask for direction, where to go to East Park from here." Said Sumia.

"Yeah, oh hey there's a resident there I'll go ask." Stephen run towards a woman and asking direction to East Park, she gives him the detail he needed, Stephen thanked her and return back.

"Got it, even marked it on my phone map." Stephen showed his phone screen.

The heroes follow the direction and made their way to East Park.

"This is tiring, can't we just teleport there ? That phone thingy has a picture of East Park right ?" Whined Cynthia.

"Technically we could, but we don't know how many people would be there either, teleportation isn't something that most people have here, we may ended up getting unwanted attention." Explained Mac. "The same goes with summoning a Pegasus."

"Don't be spoiled Cynthia, you want to be a hero right ? A hero must be able to overcome difficulty, by the way, when we were in Askr have Phila trained you before ?" Asked Sumia.

"She has, and it was brutal." Answered Cynthia.

"Death is a possibility on the battlefield, so she can't be acting nice, she was very harsh to me and Cordelia, but I can't argue that her training produce results." Explained Sumia.

"I may not trained for war, but even Doc can be such a drill sargeant himself, and yeah as annoying as it is, it does shows result, champion at 17 is not an easy feat, not to mention WVBA doesn't follow normal boxing rules, I even been pitted against opponents that not even on my weight class." Said Mac.

"What about you Stephen ? You're a coach right ?" Asked Sumia.

"Welll my circumstances are different, my job is to make people healthy, so I give them advice on what foods to eat, how many exercise they need in certain times and so on, there's no need for me to yell and insulting my customers." Explained Stephen.

"So I heard from Chelsea that you're the most sought out personal trainer ?" Asked Mac.

"Well...yeah, I try to keep myself professional even to female clients, I could lose my job if I end up striking a relationship with any of them." Sighed Stephen. "Seen many colleagues got fired because they can't stay professional."

"Hey ! There they are !" Shouted the thug.

"They found us !" Mac then noticed the eyepatch wearing one is with them.

"Looks like Chelsea's admirer is here too."

"But he's our target right ? This is lucky for us." Said Stephen.

"We still need to isolate him from his colleagues though, you know, just to interrogate him." Replied Mac.

"Surround them !" Ordered the thug leader as the heroes found themselves surrounded.

"Why are you doing this ? Kidnapping athletes, for what ?" Asked Stephen.

"If you want to know then just come with us." Smirked the leader.

Two of the thugs pull out their gun and threatening to shoot. "Hands up ! And no funny business !"

Mac and Stephen got subdued by the thugs and pinned down to the ground.

"I got the women !" Two of the thugs grabbed Sumia and Cynthia. "Well now, aren't you quite the looker."

"Please don't, I'm already married and with kids." Sumia tried to rebuff the thug advances.

"Ditch your goody two shoes husband, I much more of a man than he is." Boasted the thug.

("I could deal with this guy, but Mac, Stephen, and Cynthia is still under their grasp, and since they carry this gun weapon with them, I can't make careless move.") Thought Sumia.

"Keep restraining them, I'm calling our van." The leader pull out his phone to make a call.

But then unexpectedly Terry swoops in to the rescue as he punch the thugs holding Mac and Stephen.

Seeing a chance has come, Sumia using her whole body to slam the thug holding her against the wall behind them, Sumia then kicked the thug's stomach.

Cynthia bit the hand of the thug holding her, freeing herself.

Sumia grabbed her golden plate and conjure her lance, as she impale the thug that was holding Cynthia, killing him.

Cynthia did the same as she conjure her lance and leg sweep the thug holding Sumia as she stab his stomach.

As Stephen and Mac about to fight back, Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon come to the rescue as they both flying kick the thugs holding Mac and Stephen.

The leader got scared as now he's outnumbered and attempting to escape, however Sumia summon her Pegasus and kick the leader as he slammed to a wall.

Both Terry, Jae Hoon, and Dong Hwan can't believe what they see. The two thugs then taking advantage of the confusion to run away as Sumia return her Pegasus back to the mansion.

"Thank you Mr. Bogard, if it weren't for you coming to save us I don't know if I can find an opening to save ourselves." Sumia thanked Terry.

"I-it's no problem..." Terry looked disturbed at seeing Sumia and Cynthia easily kill another person.

"Mom ! Did you see me ! I think I'm improving at my spearmanship !" Boasted Cynthia.

"You have shown progress my dear, but of course I still don't want you to slack off." Said Sumia.

"I know, there's always room for improvements !" Replied Cynthia.

Stephen approached Terry and co. "I know, shocking right ? It was my first reaction when I saw them practicing with spears before.'

"Oh wait ! We still need to find Lucina !" Exclaimed Dong Hwan.

"Lucina ? You know my daughter ?" Asked Sumia.

"Lucina's your daughter ?" Asked Jae Hoon.

"Well we are meeting at East Park, so that must be where she's heading." Said Sumia. "That's where we wanted to go to."

Terry then whispered at Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon. "Sorry, but I need you two to leave this to me ? Honestly this group have become suspicious, they're targeted by mafia, and have no problem with killing other people, I feel like there's more to the story."

"We can't just back off..we're..."

"Look just listen, like I said, I don't know what Little Mac and his crew are involved in, if this is something huge, it means I'm putting you two in danger, and Kim would be very furious at me for putting his sons in danger." Terry countered.

"Alright, we back off, I can say the same for you too Terry, you better come back safely." Jae Hoon expressed his concern.

"You have my word on that." Terry them break away from the brothers as Dong Hwan and Jae hoon leave.

"You know I'm very familiar with the way to East Park, why don't I take you there ?" Offered Terry.

"Really ? We're not causing you trouble are we ?" Asked Mac.

"No it's okay, better than to get lost am I right ?" And with that Terry decided to take the heroes to East Park with Mac and Stephen carry the thug leader.

Fossil Park - America

After being told that Hunter investigating the scene of the crime Samus, wearing her zero suit, and Olimar decided to teleport here.

"According to Mr. Richmond Hunter is the boy who have a blue hair, blue pants, and red shirt, he also wore a torn hat, that should be enough description." Samus describing Hunter.

"Yeah, but this park is huge, he could be anywhere." Said Samus.

"Wait, rather than searching blindly why don't we go ask the receptionist here first ?" Suggested Olimar.

"True, bypassing the front desk should be impossible...even though we did exactly that." Sighed Samus as she and Olimar head to the reception desk.

"Excuse me, we're looking for a boy named Hunter, Mr. Richmond sent us." Said Samus.

"Oh, yes we receive the call, he's at Goldrush Canyon, but he hasn't came back since." Answered the receptionist.

"Okay, we'll go there ourselves." Said Samus.

"Wait, that place is huge, you will need the Bone Buggy if you want to travel." Warned the receptionist.

"If it's vehicle, we already got that covered, c'mon Olimar." Samus and Olimar return to the park.

Goldrush Camyon

Returning to Goldrush Canyon Samus summon her ship as she and Olimar went inside.

"You sure this is a wise idea ? Having futuristic ship in present era ?" Asked Olimar.

"Well they are going to be exposed to aliens anyway, why not accelerate the process ?" Samus and Olimar fly above the park to look for Hunter.

As they're flying above rhe canyon Olimar noticed something. "Samus ! There's someone surrounded by vivosaurs."

"Okay, I'm blasting them away." Samus fire off lasers at the vivosaurs, pretty much killing them.

Once the vivosaurs have been eliminated Samus fly down as she descend to the ground.

The hatch door is opened and Samus and Olimar coming out from the ship.

Once they got out they saw a boy that fits Hunter's description.

"Excuse me ? Are you Hunter ? Don't be afraid, we're here because Mr. Richmond sent us." Samus tried to assure the boy.

"I guess an introduction is in order, my name is Olimar, and this is Samus." Olimar introducing himself and Samus.

"Hello, and yes that's correct, my name is Hunter." Confirmed Hunter.

"We're going straight to the chase, Hunter you're here because you wanted to know what happened to the Dinaurians do you ?" Asked Samus.

"Yes ! There's been nasty rumors about them, but I want to believe those rumors are nothing but lies ! I interact with them personally, Duna, Raptin, Dynal, we all want to live among each other !" Hunter voiced his belief.

"I want that to happen as well, because...we came from the future, and our timeline started from humans and dinaurians working side by side, accelerating the growth of science and space travels." Explained Samus.

"As for me I'm not even human, I'm from Planet Hocotate." Said Olimar.

"Really !? Well I guess I believe you, I mean that ship looks like something you see on futuristic sci-fi shows." Hunter easily believe Samus and Olimar.

"So you're an alien too then ? I have to say, you rather look a l ot like a human." Hunter observing Olimar.

"Aliens came on all shapes and sizes, there are like Olimar, who look no different from humans, however oxygen are dangerous for his species, that's why he wear that spacesuit." Explained Samus. "Of course there's also there more grotesque, monstrous kinds as well."

"So what are you doing here ? Gathering clues about the dinaurians ?" Asked Olimar.

"That's..what I want to do, but so far I still haven't found anything, I'm here on different mission, I've heard that there are suspicious group lurking around, and I need to uncover who it is, if i'm lucky, it may related to the dinaurians." Explained Hunter.

"Why don't we help you, I know you're a talented kid in fossil battle, but we also want to know about the dinaurians as well." Offered Samus.

"Sure, but there's a chance that our enemies as fossil fighters as well, it would be impossible for human to fight a vivosaur." Said Hunter.

"Don't worry about us, we have experience in taking down things bigger than us." Samus then materialize her power suit. "Shall we go ?"

"Uhh yes...let's..I heard that they're in this cave." Hunter still have too many question, but he just have to wait as there's more pressing matters.

"So what do you think ? Is it here ?" There are three people, 2 men and 1 woman, wearing a purple uniform.

"B-b-be yes, we just have to dig deeper, the report can't be false." Said the woman.

"Hey guys ! I found it !" One of the men seemed to have found something.

"See, what I tell you." Said the woman.

"Those are ? BB Bandits !" Exclaimed Hunter.

The bandits turned around ti see Hunter, and Samus and Olimar beside him.

"B-b-bee Well look who it is, the boy who crippled our organization, luck is on our side today, for we will have our revenge !" Boasted one of the men.

"So you're the suspicious people mentioned, what are you up to this time ?" Asked Hunter.

"B-b-be you want answers brat ? Then force it from us !" The BB Bandits ready to fight as they toss their Dino medals.

However the vivosaurs that came out made Hunter shocked beyond belief, as all of them sent out a Dinomatons instead of vivosaurs.

"Dinomatons ! How did you get your hands on that !" Hunter demanding to know.

"B-b-be, Look at that he's dying to know !" Mocked one of the bandits.

"B-b-beee like I said if you want to know you just have to force us to talk, now attack !" The female bandit sent her Dinomaton to attack Hunter as he sent out Spinax and intercept the robot.

The second Dinomaton opened its mouth and about to fire a laser beam to attack Hunter, however before it reached Hunter, Samus intercept the attack with her Hyper Beam, the Dinomation quickly overpowered and got blasted by Samus's attack.

The third Dinomaton swings it claws at Olimar, but the Hocotate smaller size means he's easily able to dodge the incoming attacks. The Dinomaton then about to do an overhead strike, as Olimar dodged, the claw attack stuck to the ground, this give Olimar a chance to climb the Dinomaton shoulder.

"Okay, your turn now." Olimar summon White Pikmins. "Use your acid to tear this thing apart." The White Pikmins did that as it scattered around the Dinomaton and spew acids, melting the joints of the mechanical dinosaur. Soon one by one, its body begin to fall apart

"What the ! Those two people just took out the Dinomatons without vivosaurs !" Shouted the BB Bandit.

The other Dinomaton got sent flying towards the bandits as the three of them scattered to avoid being hit.

"Spinax use Cyclone !" Commanded Hunter as Spinax exhale a devastating wind from its mouth, the wind is so strong it chip away the Dinomaton metal plates.

Defeated, all three Dinomatons reverted to Dino medals, BB Bandits tried to retrieve them, however Olimar summon a Flying Pikmin to distract them as Olimar able to get two medals, while the female BB Bandit able to get one considering the one of Dinomaton defeated near her it was obvious.

After returning the Flying Pikmins, the bandits try to take the medals away from Olimar, however he summons the Rock Pikmins this time and threw them to the bandits face, greatly injuring one of the bandits as the other carry his teammate away from Olimar.

"Alright we defeated you, you said you will answer our questions by force right ? Well you lose, now you better keep your end of bargain." Hunter threatened the bandits as he, Samus, Olimar along with Spinax crept closer.

"Don't even think of tossing another dino medals, any weird movements and I'll shoot." Samus aimed her arm cannon at the bandits.

"B-b-bee okay, okay we surrender, you win...NOT." The BB Bandits tapped the pendant on their neck and teleported away.

A shocked Hunter run towards the bandits. "Hey wait !" But it's too late as the bandits have teleported away.

"They escaped." Remarked Olimar.

"Should've seen that coming." Added Samus. "You okay kid ? Look I know they got away now, but we will encounter them again."

"You don't understand, that's not what I'm worried about ! The pendant on their neck is a Dinaurian telportation device ! How did they get their hands on it ? I'm...I'm scared, what if they changed their minds and wished to annihilate us humans." Hunter is getting uneasy.

"Hunter I assure you we won't let that happen, exactly why we need to uncover the truth, and set the future to its rightful course." Samus assured Hunter.

"You're right, sorry you have to see that, I...we want for Humans and dinaurians to coexist, that's the future I want to come true."

"That's the spirit, and I got a gift for you, but first." Samus used her golden plate to contact the others.

East Park

The heroes finally arrived at the East Park, Chelsea and co was the first to arrive, and second was Lucina and Gerome thanks to Rock who give them a ride.

"Thanks for the ride Rock." Lucina thanked Rock with a smile that makes any guy blush.

"Oh...uh it's no big deal." Rock Replied awkwardly.

"Oh there's father, let's go Gerome, and thanks again Rock." Lucina and Gerome regroup with Chrom and Rock while he leave, his curiosity gets the best of him and decided to hid at the bushes to watch Lucina's group.

"Lucina, who was that man ?" Asked Chrom.

"His name is Rock Howard, and he was nice enough to give us a ride here, you know that motorcycle things looks really cool, too bad we don't have anything like that in our world." Remarked Lucina.

"If only I can bring Minerva here, we could have arrived in seconds." Grumbled Gerome.

"Looks like someone's jealous." Teased Doc.

"J-jealous ! I-I'm not ! I'm only pointing out that air travel have more benefits and faster !" Gerome tried to deny his jealousy.

"Whatever you say Gerome." Chelsea smirked at the frustrated young man. "Still, Rock Howard ? He has the same last name as Geese Howard, could it be a coincidence ?"

"Don't know, I don't think Geese Howard has any living relatives, at least that what it says online." Replied Doc.

"Maybe I want to learn motorcycle driving too after studying magic, Cloud promise to teach me, but he's rather busy right now." Said Roy. "I'm already able to ride horses, how hard could driving a motorcycle be ?"

"Boys, even from medieval like world they still have the same interest as the modern ones." Remarked Chelsea.

"Chrom !" A voice calling out Chrom can be heard as Sumia waved her hands.

"Sumia, Cynthia !" Sumia and Cynthia approached Chrom and hugged him.

"Great we're all back together now." Said Mac.

"Terry Bogard ?" Chelsea surprised to see Terry again.

"Yeah, guess we meet again huh ?" Said Terry.

Rock who is still hiding is surprised to see Terry with the heroes.

Terry, being able to sense other people's presence able to tell that Rock is here.

"And Chelsea we got your boyfriend as well." Teased Hal as Mac, Stephen, and Hal dropped the thug leader, with Chelsea glaring at Hal.

"Mr. Bogard thank you for finding my wife and daughter." Chrom thanked Terry.

"Yeah, we'll guess my job is done now, I'll be on my way." Terry decided to leave, but mostly to talk to Rock.

"He's unconscious, how are we supposed to get answer from him ?" Asked Hal.

"First let's find somewhere quiet, those trees in over there make the perfect cover." Luckily the East Park is less crowded right now so the heroes able to move an unconscious person without raising suspicion.

"Rock ?" Terry caught up to him which makes Rock jumped in surprise.

"Terry, what are you doing here ?" Asked Rock.

"I could say the same to you." Replied Terry.

"Well I met a girl named Lucina and.."

"Oh is that what this is ? Nice one Rock, but watching her from the bushes ? That's very stalkerish don't you think ?" Asked Terry. "You're just gonna scare her like this."

"W-what ! T-that's not...Look, you nay not believe me, but I just saw a dragon and it ate one mafia thug." Explained Rock. "And Lucina, why are mafia chasing after her ? I'm just curious, what's her involvement in all of this."

"I suppose I haven't teach you much about these things, listen Rock, we have something in this world called a femme Fatale and..."

"P-please just stop there." Rock acting uneasy.

"Why ? That your first crush turns out to be evil, all the more reason we need to have this talk." Said Terry. "Look, I'm being serious, I met Lucina's mother and younger sister, and they just kill two mafia thugs without hesitation, and I doubt Lucina doesn't know about it."

Rock can only stay silent hearing Terry.

"Granted they were chased by mafia, but that doesn't mean they're innocent, so I decide to keep an eye on them, and Rock I need you to go home." Said Terry.

"You can't just do that ! What if they're doing something to you !" Exclaimed Rock.

"I don't plan on getting caught, trust me Rock, I will come back alive." Terry put his hands on Rock's shoulder.

"You better come back !" Yelled Rock.

"Of course, I wouldn't want to miss your first date after all." Terry make a silly grin.

"You're being silly, fine, but contact me if something happens okay." Said Rock.

"I will." Answered Terry as Rock hop on his bike and drive away. Terry then walked closer to see what the heroes are doing.

"This should wake him up." Lucina touched the thug face and electrocute him, forcing to wake up. The thug find himself tied up, the heroes using the thug's own coat to tie him up.

"What are you ? Where is..." Mac punched before he can say anything else.

"We're the ones asking the questions, first we've heard your organization responsible with the missing athletes, why are you abducting them ?" Asked Mac.

"Like i will tell you anything !" Replied the thug.

"Alright Chelsea seduce him into talking." Commanded Doc as Chelsea generate Sun Salutation in annoyance.

"I have a better way Doc." Chelsea crouched down and faced the thug. "Now start talking or you other eye will go blind next." Threatened Chelsea. "Or would ypu rather I pierce your penis, Sumia, may I borrow your spear ?"

Sumia give her spear to Chelsea. "1..2..." Chelsea raised Sumia's spear and counting to three as she's about to stab the thug..private stuff.

"Look I I don't know okay ! It's an order from above ! I can't question order from the boss !" Panicking, the thug finally answered.

"And I'm not bluffing, fine then say good bye to your little guy." Chelsea lifted Sumia spear again and about to thrust until the thug screaming and begging to stop.

"Wow, never knew Chelsea can be this...well ruthless." Remarked Stephen.

"Okay Chelsea, that's enough, I think he screams enough." Mac stopped Chelsea from going through with the stabbing. "Of course you will answer the rest of our questions right ?"

"Y-yes I-i will answer everything I know !"

"First, how do you know we were here ?" Asked Mac.

"Our boss sent us, he ordered us to capture you."

"And who is your boss ?" Asked Chelsea.

"His name is Manfred Torchrock !"

"Torchrock ? Wasn't Geese employee Billy said that name before we leave ? He said Mr. Torchrock." Said Stephen. "There was a black car entered Geese Tower remember ?"

"He did ! I remember that ! Since you and Chelsea were targeted before, he must've seen us from his car and ordered the capture again." Said Hal.

"So that would mean Geese Howard is having a meeting with Torchrock." Mac then turned to the thug. "Do you know what the meeting is about ?"

"I swear I don't ! You need to ask the higher ups for that !"

"Guess they really won't say important stuff to the grunts." Said Mac.

"So what do we do with him now ?" Asked Chrom.

"We'll let you go for now, don't show your face in front of us anymore ! Even though that would be impossible." Chelsea cut the coat with Sumia's spear.

"Hah ! You fools ! I...wait where's my gun ! And phone !" The thug realized that his stuff is missing.

"We already break it, here." Chrom give the thugs his destroyed gun and phone.

"Father has incredible strength, imagine what can he do to your skull." Said Lucina.

"I-i will have my revenge !" The thug runaway before swearing vengeance, however as he didn't see where he's going he crashed into a hiding Terry. But he don't care about that right now as he got up and run again.

"Terry ? Were you spying on us this whole time ?" Asked Stephen.

Terry then took a fighting stance. "Sorry for being nosy, but now I think about it I find you all suspicious, not only you're wanted by the mafia, but you didn't seem to show fear as well, normal civilians would rather flee even facing the lowest of the low in mafia hierarchy."

"Okay, calm down I know our actions may look suspicious, but we're not the bad guys." Mac tried to diffuse the situation.

"Then can you explain this, I saw a Pegasus, a real life Pegasus, and you're the one summoning it." Terry point at Sumia.

"Seriously Sumia ? We've told you there aren't any Pegasus here, summoning one would bring unwanted attention." Chelsea chastising Sumia as she apologized.

"Sorry Terry, but it's best that you didn't get involved in this." Said Stephen.

"I already heard everything, you even said something about Geese Howard don't you ? That man always making up schemes to further his ambitions, if he's involved, then I can't turn a blind eye to it." Explained Terry. "Also i don't know why you wanted to go to his tower, that's suspicious enough in my book."

"We don't know how involved Geese Howard and NILE are in this, we only came here because Geese Howard have something we need, we were about to leave, but those NILE goons came after us." Explained Hal.

"And what is this something that Geese have that you need ?" Asked Terry.

"Well that's..." Before anyone can answer, a black car appear in front of the heroes and Terry, this time a familiar face came out from the car, it's Billy Kane and several of Geese men.

"Billy ? What are you doing here ?" Asked Terry.

"Terry Bogard ? I don't have any business with you today, my business is for the people behind you." Billy pointed at the heroes.

"Who's this ?" Asked Roy.

"It's Billy, he's the one we meet at Geese Tower." Answered Stephen.

"What do you want with us ?" Asked Mac.

"Apologies, I don't have problems with all of you, but Geese's order shall be carried." Billy grabbed his staff and ready for a fight.

"Father, he has a weapon." Said Lucina as Billy grabbed a staff from the car.

"Then we shall do the same." Chrom and Lucina used their golden plate to teleport their swords, Falchion and Silver Sword.

"A-are those real sword ?" Asked one of Geese men.

"I'll handle the guy with blue hair, the rest of you be careful !" Ordered Billy.

Geese's men grabbing their weapons from the car, strangely all of them seems to be melee weapons like clubs, or sticks, or machetes.

"Strange, they don't use guns." Commented Sumia.

Chelsea made eye contact with her teammates as they trust her with whatever she's going to pull next.

Chelsea then used her Wii Fit technique, shooting a barrage of afterimages of yoga poses, hitting a lot of Geese's men.

Billy keep dodging every afterimages that come his way, only for him to run into Mac and Mac punched him hard, knocking him back.

Chrom and Lucina follow suit as they both swing their swords at Billy who used his staff to help evade Chrom and Lucina's attack.

Billy then infused his staff with fire and spin his staff, using the fire to keep Chrom and Lucina at bay, but the father daughter duo lift their swords to the sky, channeling lightning and shoot lightning from their swords at Billy.

Stephen used Sun Salutations at several of Geese men, blinding them with a bright solar energy, Roy decided not to use his sword as he deliver a hard punch at one of Geese men, with Doc punching the other guy.

"You got the hang of this Roy." Doc praising Roy.

"I have a great coach." Replied Roy.

Sumia faced with one guy, however he's a little hesitant in fighting women, Sumia exploit this by stabbing his foot with her spear, as he yelped in pain, Sumia kicked his stomach, causing him to fall down.

Cynthia is standing in front of Hal. "Don't worry Mr. Emmerich I'll protect you !"

"Protected by a little girl..." Hal feels a bit uneasy about his situation as Cynthia fend off several of the goons.

Seeing the chaos, Terry decided to step in and confront Billy, who's body still numb after being electrocuted. "What is Geese doing this time ?" Terry grabbed Billy by the collar.

"As usual he has big plans, for now he wanted to test the guests from outside this world." Smirked Billy.

"Outside this world ? What do you mean by that ?" Asked Terry.

"Why don't you ask them ? Surely they're able to answer your question." Billy pointed at the heroes.

"Everyone fall back ! We got what we came here for !" Billy ordered Geese's men to stand down, as he remove Terry's hand away from his collar. "Not bad all of you, now you surely receive Geese Howard's attention."

Billy and Geese's men retreat to their car and drive away.

"I need to ask what's going on, first NILE, and now Howard Connection ? Not only you're wanted by the mafia, but you showed no fear whatsoever, and Billy said something about guests from other world ?" Terry demanding answer.

"Sorry, Terry but it's best if you don't get involved in this." Said Stephen.

"Too late for that, if Geese is up to something, I can't just stand by and watch, and it seems all of you know more than you let on." Continued Terry.

The heroes only remained silent.

"Look, I know more about Geese Howard more than you do, I can help you with him." Said Terry.

"What we're involved in is something dangerous, and far beyond what you dealt with before, do you still insisting ?" Asked Mac.

"Hey I defeated a Goddess named Otoma Raga, granted it was a team effort, but I don't know what else can top that." Said Terry.

"Well what do you think ?" Mac asked the others. "I guess defeating a Goddess is an incredible achievement ?"

"If Geese is working with Neo Subspace Army I think it's best if we have someone who dealt with him before." Hal seems to be in favor of Terry joining.

"That does makes sense, I suppose we can tell him what we're doing." Said Lucina.

"Okay Mr. Bogard, you asked for it." Mac then tell the story how they got here so far. "And that's probably why NILE keep going after us, as we manage to avoid their grasp again and again."

"Wow...that's a lot to take in, but if it's true I can see why, none of you live in South Town, not to mention Chrom's family are royalty from another world who just finished a war not too long ago, no wonder you can kill so easily." Said Terry. "I can see why the mafia doesn't scare you, you must've dealt with worse things."

"They can try to do background check, but they should know, if they dare mess with our loved ones, we can and we will retaliate." Threatened Mac.

"Well anyway, we could use more manpower, so welcome aboard Terry Bogard." Hal offered his hand and Terry shake on it.

"What about Samus and Olimar ? Should we go to them or head back first ?" Asked Stephen.

And with perfect timing, Mac's golden plate is vibrating, he picked it up and tapped it, showing hologram of Samus.

"Samus what is it ?" Asked Mac.

"Mac, i'm teleporting you here to where I am." Samus ended the communication as Mac suddenly disappear.

Goldrush Canyon

Mac is teleported to where Samus and Olimar are.

"Samus ? Why did you bring me here ?" Asked Mac.

"Wow you're Little Mac !" Exclaimed Hunter.

"Hello..." Mac greeted Hunter.

"Mac, this is Hunter, and we have the same goal, I got a feeling dinaurians also a part of our enemy nefarious schemes." Remarked Samus.

"He's also the current reigning champion of Vivosaur Island, so his combat skill is the real deal." Added Olimar.

"Hmm..that sounds like Red." Stated Mac.

"We know." Replied Samus and Olimar both.

"Anyway the reason I called you here is because.." Samus gave her golden plate to Hunter. "If you need our help contact us with this, I'll show you how to use it."

"I give my golden plate to Mr. Richmond as well, so we don't have any other way back." Said Olimar.

"I'm done teaching Hunter, so Mac, we'll be tagging along for the ride back home." Said Samus.

"Okay, but we'll be heading to South Town first." Said Mac.

"Take care Hunter and may we meet again." The heroes said their goodbye as Mac teleported the three of them back to SouthTown.

"BB Bandits...how are they active again ? Bulwort still locked up right ?" Hunter having a bad feeling.

SouthTown - East Park

"We're back, alright Terry you're coming with us ?" Asked Mac. "Of course once we give you a golden plate you can always came back here anytime."

"Yeah, if Geese allying with otherwrlorldly foes, then I need to allied with otherworldly heroes as well." Answered Terry.

"Very well, let us be off." Mac teleport everyone back to the mansion.

Geese Tower

Back at Geese Tower, Billy has returned, badly bruised along with the rest of Geese's men.

"So, Billy the fact that you came back looking like that means they really are formidable opponents."

"Yes, they may not have bloodthirst in the way they attack, but I saw no hesitation in going for the kill either." Reported Billy.

"I've lost three men already, that's just showed how fearless they are." Said Manfred. "Just be glad your men came out alive, if beaten."

"But that's only a few of them right ? Not the ones that made the what was it, the Beanstar disapppear ?" Asked Geese.

"No, but it does seem likely that it's one of their members, all these people, varied in power levels, not even you can deal with them." Continued Manfred.

"And if I join you I can get more power ?" Asked Geese.

"Oh yes, on that I can guarantee, so how about it Geese Howard ? Regardless of whether you join us or not, your pursuit of power could lead you to an altercation with these people, the ones that came here are at least moderately above the KOF participants, who knows what would happen if their even more powerful and ruthless comrades were the ones you encounter next time ? Your men will most likely will not make it."

"So it depends on whether the enemy shows mercy or not that decide who will survive ?" Asked Geese.

"Precisely." Affirmed Manfred.

"Very well Manfred Torchrock, I'm convinced, I'm not one to grovel under anyone." Geese has agreed to join Manfred.

"Wise choice, now then Geese Howard, I welcome you to Neo Subspace Army." Geese shook hands with Manfred Torchrock.

Vivosaur Island - Prison

"Another carrot sandwich, they really enjoy torturing me here !" A man is locked up in Vivosaur Island prison, his name is Bartholomew Bulwort, once posed as a police chief, but in reality he's the boss of BB Bandits, he once tried to reclaim one of the legendary Vivosaur, however his ambition is thwarted by Hunter, his defeat has led to his arrest, and still do to this very day.

Bulwort reached under his pillow to grab something, and it turned out to be a black plate.

He remember that one day, he had a dream, not sure who is saying stuff to him, but the voice told him to look under the pillow, where he found the black plate.

The next day the same dream happened again, telling him to be patient and he will receive his freedom.

And now his black plate emit a faint glow, Bulwort is surprised, but he take look, he touched the surface as a message appears on the device. 'Preparation is almost complete, freedom will be yours.'

---

All done, i think this is one of the complex chapter I write so far, but I think it mixed well...crime drama and science fiction, yeah I don't really know if this really mesh well. Also 22000 words, this is a new record.

GASP* LUCINA X ROCK HOWARD ! WHAT DRUGS HAVE I ALLOWED ENTRY TO MY BODY ! Just kidding, i would never do drugs overly dramatic aside, not sure who I really ship Lucina with, she's already a boy magnet in the home game anyway, Gerome falls for her at first sight, and Inigo has always like her as well even before C support so why not expand it further by making her attractive to boys from other worlds.

I chose the East Park because nature seems to be still abundant on that stage, allowing the heroes to hide in the more forested areas.

And so Terry has joined the heroes. Although I don't think I'll have the entire KOF cast, just the plot relevant ones, that game have so many characters even there have many characters not been playable for decades like Hinako.

Character debut : Yolanda Artemisia, Fortman, Richard Meyer, Blue Mary, Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, Geese Howard, Billy Kane, Kim Dong Hwan, Kim Jae Hoon, Bartholomew Bulwort.

Boss battle : Vivianne, Rosie, Billy Kane.
