The Final World

Stranded in a world where there's nothing but limitless blue sky and watery ground there's a boy, he wore a black hooded jacket, black fingerless gloves that almost reached the elbow, black pants, and wearing black shoes with yellow ankle, but what's distinguishing about his features is his spiky hair.

A transparent star-shaped object spoke to the boy. "Sora, are you alright ? When that strange light appear, suddenly It feels like dimensional barriers between worlds weakening, although it has stabilized again for now."

"Yeah I do sense it, where do you think that light is coming from ?" Asked Sora.

"I don't know unfortunately, but it's got to be from outside this world, and whatever caused that light to appear here it must've been from an extremely powerful source to the point it affected this world." Says the star shaped object.

"So what's gonna happen then ?" Asked Sora.

"I don't know, it's the first time something like this happened here." Answered the star shaped object.

A gem suddenly appear and hovering in midair as Sora and Nameless Star expressed their surprise.

"What is that ? And how did it get here !?" Nameless Star looked confused.

"Is that a diamond ? It certainly look like one." Sora approached the emerald as he touches it. "If this thing really did came from outside of this world then maybe it can get me out too ?"

Once he did the emerald responding to Sora's wish as it emit a bright light that engulf the world, once the light faded Sora and the emerald both disappeared from the Final World.

"Sora ? Sora ?" Nameless Star called out to Sora only to receive no response, Nameless Star is now alone as Sora has gone.

Smash Mansion

"Attention everyone ! Another emerald have been spotted ! It's location is...in the World of Trophy ?" Remarked Isabelle.

"In here ? Then we must go after it immediately while we have the advantage !" Exclaimed Popo. "I'll volunteer for this mission !"

"I know the location is here, but let's still just travel in groups, don't forget the Plasm Wraith is still out there." Said Isabelle.

"Nana, Cloud, and Wario, you three will be accompanying Popo." Isabelle assigned the team.

"Me ? Why do a-i have..." As lazy as Wario is, he realize the mission is to retrieve the Emerald which he want to use for his own gain. "Never a-mind count me in !"

"Great, the team is decided, now go." The heroes now ready to move as they head out the mansion.

World of Trophy - Forest Clearing

Sora arrived at the World of Trophy, brought here by the Chaos Emerald.

"Where am I ? Hello ! Is anyone here !?" Sora shouted to elicit a response, but unfortunately there's no reply.

"Well better start moving." Sora decided to explore the forest, carrying the emerald in hand.

After a few walk Sora decided to stop and take a look at the emerald, he lift it up and it reflects the light of the sun. "What is this thing ? And how is it able to appear in the Final World ? Does it have something to do with that strange light ?"

Soon the sky darkened, but it's more like there's something flying above Sora, he saw a giant flying hand in white glove hover above him.

"What the !" Sora summon his keyblade and ready to fight.

"Fear not for I mean no harm." The hand spoke. "I am Master Hand, loyal servant to the ruler of this world Master Galeem, you...yes you...your name is Sora is that right ?"

"How do you know my name ?" Asked Sora.

"My master told me everything, you came from a world far far away from this one, even my master surprised that you find your way to this world." Said Master Hand. "Tell me how do you appear here ?"

"I guess it won't hurt to tell, see I arrive here because of this thing, this gem appeared in where I am and when i touched it a bright light engulf me and here I am." Answered Sora.

"Is that right ? Child what you hold in your hand is called the Chaos Emerald, it is an object of great power, but to think it made it's way to that world, the breach in dimension must've spread far and wide than we thought." Said Master Hand.

"Sora this may not be a coincidence why you're here, my master Galeem is the lord of light, and yet he's been imprisoned by evil forces, the forces of darkness seeks to conquer the universe, and they worked to keep my master from being freed, child chosen by light, what you may face in this world may not be your usual adversary, but your help is needed to save this universe, so will you lend your aid to us ?" Continued Master Hand.

"Sure I don't mind, I can't let the forces of darkness to reign supreme even in another world, so what do you need me to do ?" Sora agreed to help Master Hand.

"Retrieve the Chaos Emeralds, you have one in your possession, but there's a few more in the hands of the enemy, I need you to get it back for us, go to the Smash Mansion, gain the trust of the inhabitants, and take the emerald from them." Answered Master Hand.

Hearing this Sora look hesitant. "Are you sure ? Gain their trust and steal ? You pretty much asked me to spy and betray other people ?"

"I'm truly sorry as well, but the enemy, they will do whatever it takes to succeed, we can't play nice if we want to succeed, they will stop at nothing to engulf the world in darkness, so we sadly no longer have a choice." Pleaded Master Hand.

"I...I understand, I'll do it." Sora Answered hesitantly.

"Thank you, I know I ask too much of you, but there's no other choice, here is the way to the mansion." Master Hand touches Sora's forehead and he received the knowledge of Smash Mansion location.

"I know the way now, I promise I won't let you down." Vowed Sora.

"Thank you, we are grateful for your help, and as they say in your world, may your heart be your guiding key." Master Hand vanished as Sora continue on his journey, however what Sora doesn't realize is when he lift the emerald upward and reflected the sun's light he did attracted another someone or something's attention.

Sora can hear grass rustling, now realizing that he's not alone in this forest. "W-who's there !" Sora readied his keyblade again as he puts the emerald in his pocket.

A mass of gelatinous blob slowly approaching Sora, he took a step back as the blob keep on moving closer, Sora then tried to attack the blob only for the keyblade doesn't do any damage as the hit doesnt harm it's semiliquid body, in fact Sora's keyblade got absorbed by the blob monster.

Sora summon his keyblade back to his hand, luckily no goo anywhere on the weapon.

Unfortunately the blob created a tentacle and grabbed the keyblade, and it create second, third and fourth tentacle. Sora is overpowered and the blob managed to pull the keyblade away from Sora.

"Hey give that back !" Yelled Sora as the blob is getting closer, Sora seemed to be in a pinch as he tried to summon the keyblade back again.

Meanwhile...

Popo is freezing a Bulborb leg. "Nana it can't move anymore, your turn !"

Nana create a large icicle and launched it at the Bulborb, impaling the creature, and it melted into a golden goo.

One the other hand Cloud and Wario is also facing another Bulborb, Wario grabbed it's leg, spinning it around and throw it upwards, Cloud finish the job by casting Thundaga spell, killing the creature and rain down golden goo.

"Look out !" Signalled Cloud as the four of them quickly hide to avoid being covered in goo.

"Those creatures from the alien planet, how are they here ?" Asked Popo.

"Rather than turn into trophy, they melted into a goo." Cloud looking at the goo from their battle.

"Won't this mean, that this creatures aren't real ? That they're just constructs made from the Plasm Wraith ?" Asked Popo.

"Only one way to find out." Cloud pull out a materia. "This is the Assess Materia, we use this to gather data about monsters in my world."

Cloud use the Assess Materia on the golden goo and screens appeared in the air, giving details about the golden goo, the other three are awed seeing the materia usage, after reading the screen turns out Popo was right that this is just the Plasm Wraith creation.

"The Plasm Wraith must've made this to chase intruders away." Guessed Nana. "Or to attack them ?"

"This isn't it's-a world in the first place, and now it's acting like it-a own the forest...maybe I should claim and empty land for-a myself." And once again Wario sense of business or greed made him realize something.

"Wario we don't intend to live here forever, so no self claiming the land or selling it to anyone, especially since you don't own any of the land here." Glared Cloud.

Wario groaned at Cloud, but on the other hand many of his possessions is still in Diamond City, which makes him reluctantly back down.

The heroes then hear a sound of fighting not far from where they stand, sounds like a tree falling, explosions etc.

"What is that noise ?" Asked Cloud.

"Sounds like fighting, maybe someone fighting over the emerald !" Exclaimed Popo.

"If it's our enemy it can't be good, let's move." Cloud led the heroes to the source of the fighting.

Sora has his keyblade back in his hand, seeing physical attacks don't work, Sora resort to using magic to attack the blob monster.

He uses Blizzaga to freeze the blob monster, however it's large mass means not all of it are frozen.

And even that the blob monster able to make some of its body wreathed in fire, melting the frozen part of its body.

"Do I really have no choice but to run away ? If so then..." Sora about to fly away, but then the heroes arrived on time as they come to Sora's aid.

"We got this !" Exclaimed Cloud as he and the Ice Climbers ready to fight the blob monster.

Cloud use Meteorain as he spin his sword and small meteors rain down from above and struck down the blob monster, Popo and Nana using the trees to jump around and freeze the blob monster from multiple angle.

The blob monster angrily shook of the frozen part as it changed its property to be like molten rocks, melting the ice.

Cloud then cast Thundaga on the monster, electrocuting it.

Popo and Nana use their ice powers to create a wall of ice to slow the blob monster advancement.

Cloud using his superhuman strength to punch the ground and destroying it, creating a large hole on the ground, Popo and Nana create more ice walls, but this time to guide the the monster into the hole as they made a wall so it can't move just anywhere.

The blob monster melt the ice wall in front of it and keep moving forward, unfortunately for the monster it fell for the heroes plan and it fell to the hole.

"Wario now !" Shouted Cloud as a large steel plate formed out of thin air and covered the hole where the blob monster fell.

Wario turn into his Artsy form as he was busy drawing the steel plate from a safe distance while Cloud, Popo, and Nana was just distracting the monster.

"Wow you guys are awesome ! That's a great team work you have there !" Exclaimed Sora.

The heroes turned around to face Sora, and Sora seems to meet a familiar face. "Cloud ? Cloud it really is you ! What are you doing here !?"

"Friend of yours Cloud ?" Asked Nana.

"I'm sorry, but who are you ?" Sora is shocked as Cloud doesn't seem to know him.

"Are you playing a joke on me ? It's me Sora remember ! You were at the Colosseum with Hades !" Sora tried to remind Cloud.

"Hades ? Colosseum ? I did participate in Wall Market Colosseum, but I'm pretty sure I haven't found the Hades materia at that time." Answered Cloud.

"Wall Market ? Materia ? No Cloud I'm talking about the colosseum in Thebes." Sora adding further details. "You know, Hercules's world ?"

"Thebes ? I'm sure I'm not familiar with that location." Answered Cloud. "And who is this Hercules ?"

"Okay what about this ? We worked together to return Hollow Bastion to become Radiant Garden, you, Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith, and Cid are a part of that !"

"You know Cid, Aerith and Yuffie as well !?" Cloud looked surprised.

"Yeah and Tifa, she's also looking for you !" Exclaimed Sora.

"I've been away from her for a while now, I can see why she would get worried." Cloud thinking of his companions back home.

Cloud then looked at the weapon Sora held. "Is that your weapon ? Is that supposed to be a key and sword at the same time ?"

"This is a keyblade, how can you forgot about this too ?" Asked Sora

Wario take a closer look at the keyblade. "Yes, a strange weapon indeed, there's no a-way you can forget a weapon this a-strange."

"Anyway, is this where you end up after fighting Sephiroth ?" Asked Sora.

"You know Sephiroth too !?" Exclaimed Cloud.

"Cloud he seems to know a lot about you, or well the people you know." Said Nana.

"But I don't know anything about him." Cloud said to Nana, he then turned to Sora. "Sora was it ? I don't know how you know me or my friends, but I'm sure I never met you before, and who is Leon ?"

"Squall Leonhart, you two fought Heartless side by side in Hollow Bastion remember ?" Continued Sora.

("Squall Leonhart ? But he's from another world, what's the meaning of this ? Is this kid some kind of dimensional traveler or something ? And what is this Heartless he mentioned ?") Cloud wondered about Sora.

"Okay listen, I was born in a village called Nibelheim, and I left my village to go to Midgar to join Shinra, hoping to become a SOLDIER, I got involved with Avalanche and chasing down Sephiroth all over the planet to stop him, during my travels I never seen anyone like you." Explained Cloud. "So I don't know of the things or places you mentioned, apart how you know my friends."

"But !" As Sora Pleaded for Cloud the steel plate got punched and launched upwards, the blob monster taking a new bipedal form.

"Hold that thought, the enemy not down yet." The heroes ready for another round.

Now angered, the Plasm Wraith extend it's arm and swing it at the heroes.

All the heroes got knocked down from being hit, as Sora fall the emerald got out from his pocket, Plasm Wraith noticed this and took an interest as it go for the emerald.

"The Emerald !" The heroes tried to grab the emerald, but its too late, Plasm Wraith extend it's arm, grab the emerald and put it inside its body.

Soon the emerald empowers the Plasm Wraith, responding to it's thought.

"This isn't good, the emerald has empowered it ! Everyone fall back !" Ordered Cloud as the heroes decided to run away.

Plasm Wraith convert its body into water and not only that but combining it with it's electrical form, turning it into electrical water, it then chase the heroes like a tidal wave of electrified water.

Cloud jumped high and holding on to a tree branch, Popo and Nana jumped and stand on a tree branch, Wario uses his farts to launch himself upward and holding on to a tree, and Sora fly above to avoid the water.

"It's taking a water form." Remarked Cloud.

"Yeah, with electrical currents combined." Said Nana.

"It's still water so ice should work !" Stated Popo.

"Okay then, let's do it." Sora casting Blizzaga on the Plasm Wraith, Cloud equipping Ice Materia and also casting Blizzaga, Popo and Nana unleash a stream of ice energy, the combined effort has quickly froze the Plasm Wraith.

Wario managed to sit on a tree branch transform into his Arty form and draw an Ice Flower, the Ice Flower come out from the canvas and Wario absorbed it, turning him into Ice Wario. He then assist the heroes in freezing the Plasm Wraith, soon the Plasm Wraith is completely frozen.

"We did it !" Exclaimed Popo.

However the heroes celebrate too soon as the ice begin to melt, Plasm Wraith changed it's body again to a molten rock.

And unfortunately it's fiery body has begun to burn the forest.

"A smoke ! If we don't stop the fire now this will cause a forest fire !" Exclaimed Nana.

Sora casting Waterga, he then shoot water projectiles to the burned grass.

"Forest fire huh ? Luckily I brought this with me." Cloud grabbed another Materia. "Come Leviathan !"

Cloud lift the materia to the air and a gigantic sea serpent hovered in the skies above the forest.

Leviathan shot a stream of water from its mouth and douse the fires instantly.

Plasm Wraith revert to its original form and fly upward intending to fight Leviathan.

Leviathan fire off another water stream, but Plasm Wraith create a hole in its body to avoid the water stream.

Leviathan then fly closer to the Plasm Wraith and wrapped itself around the blob monster, unfortunately, Plasm Wraith who doesn't have a solid body aren't harmed by Leviathan's constriction as it spread itself into many smaller goo all over the sea serpent.

Plasm Wraith changed its body to electricity again and begin to electrocute the Leviathan, normally Leviathan can take a few shocks, but with Plasm Wraith is empowered by the Chaos Emerald, Leviathan is suffering from the electrical attacks.

"You guys, we have to fall back, the Plasm Wraith is too strong with the emerald inside it." Said Cloud.

"I guess that's all we can do for now." Agreed Nana.

"Sora was it ? You'll be coming with us." Cloud desummon Leviathan as the beast disappear, he then grabbed his golden plate and teleport the heroes back to the mansion.

Plasm Wraith goo then fuse together again to form a complete Plasm Wraith, once it descend down back to the forest it noticed the heroes are gone.

Smash Mansion - Lobby

The heroes now have return back to the mansion.

"Where are we ?" Asked Sora.

"This is the Smash Mansion, you can say this is our headquarters." Answered Cloud.

"Smash Mansion..." Sora remembering what Master Hand said. "So Cloud you seem to know about those Chaos Emerald ?"

"We're looking for it, Chaos Emeralds are told to possess great power, it can't fall to the wrong hands, you see what happened earlier, that goo monster able to stand toe to toe with Leviathan because of the emerald." Explained Cloud. "Sora can I ask you to wait here, I need to head to the basement to check on something, Popo and Nana can keep you company."

"Umm...okay." Sora take a seat at the couch.

"So...like Cloud said, we could keep you company if you like." Offered Popo and Nana.

"Thanks, I'd like a company." Said Sora as Popo and Nana sit next to him.

"Since mission-a failed I'm going back to manage my-a business." Wario went back to his room.

"He's uuhh...quite the businessman ?" Sora said awkwardly.

"Sorry about Wario, wealth is his top priority, making friends to be at the bottom of his list, anyway let's introduce ourself, my name is Nana and this is Popo." Nana introduced herself and Popo to Sora.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Sora though you already know that."

"So, Sora where are you from ?" Asked Popo.

"I was born in a place called Destiny Island, me and my friends Riku and Kairi wished to see the world, what is out there beyond our little island...let's just say we got our wish." Sora scratching his head.

"An islander huh ? Nana and I came from snowy village in the mountains, we never got to see what ocean looks like from our home." Said Popo.

"Sora, when you fought the Plasm Wraith earlier, did you use a key to fight it ?" Asked Nana.

"Oh this." Sora show the duo his keyblade. "This is the Keyblade, despite how it looks, it's a very capable weapon, sadly the enemy this time just didn't have solid body, anyway you'll be surprised to see what the keyblade can do." Sora continue having friendly conversation with Popo and Nana.

Archive Room

Cloud went here to talk to Isabelle about Sora.

"Isabelle, sorry for interrupting, we met a kid named Sora, and he hold a strange weapon called the keyblade, can you find something about him, and how does he know me ?" Asked Cloud.

"Let's see." Isabelle begin typing at the computer, and she found Sora on the database.

"Sora, born on Destiny Island, wielder of Keyblade, travelling to many different worlds, meeting all sorts of people along the way...okay I'll go see what kind of people Sora met on his journey..." Isabelle looked into the people Sora encounter and let's just say he met very...interesting characters.

"Mermaids, Genies, Skeletons, Demigod, Talking lion, anthropomorphic animals...interesting character is an understatement." Remarked Cloud. "Not too different from us is all i can say."

"Oh i found your profile." Isabelle then found Cloud's data however the character description seems to be very different than his own description.

"It really is me...but i dont remember any of those things written in the description." Remarked Cloud.

"I think its safe to say that this Cloud is an alternate self, you know like those parallel world thing, Like Link for example when Hyrule is split into three timelines." Explained Isabelle.

"I see, that clears things up, i guess the Squall, Aerith, Yuffie, Tifa, Cid, and...ugh Sephiroth are also alternate self, thanks Isabelle, I'm heading back upstairs." Cloud thanked Isabelle.

"Wait Cloud." Isabelle stopped Cloud.

"What is it ?" Cloud turned around.

"I understand that Sora is someone you just met, but can you try to help him adjust here, at least to him you are a familiar face." Said Isabelle.

"I can try at least." Cloud then head back upstairs.

Smash Mansion - Lobby

"And then along with my friend Riku we defeated Xemnas and we finally able to go home." Sora telling the Ice Climbers stories of his adventure.

"Wow that sounds incredible !" Popo awed by the story. "Turn into lions, fighting Mongol warlord and an evil fairy that can turn into dragon !"

"And you sing with mermaids, and help that mermaid finding love with human ? That sounds romantic !" Nana gushing at the romance story.

Popo then noticed Cloud is coming back. "Welcome back Cloud, Sora told us about his adventures, also about how you and a man named Leon defeating hordes of Heartless."

"Heartless ?" Asked Cloud confused, but he suddenly remember. "Oh right you mentioned that before."

"You don't even remember ? Heartless are monsters that plunges worlds into darkness." Said Sora.

"Right about that, sorry Sora, but it seems I'm not the Cloud you knew, he must be my alternate self that's why I have no memories of ever meeting you." Explained Cloud.

"What ! So does that mean you're really not the Cloud I meet at Olympus Colosseum ?" Sora looked disappointed.

"Afraid not." Replied Cloud. "Are you okay ?"

"Well it is shocking, but don't worry about me, I guess this means I can get to know you all over again." Sora responded with optimism.

"You sure recover fast, maybe you won't have trouble adjusting here." Remarked Cloud.

"Umm...anyway Sora, we saw a gemstone fall from your pocket earlier, that was a Chaos Emerald, Is that how you got here ?" Asked Popo

"Yeah, that gemstone appeared to me, and when I touched it, a bright light coming out from the gem, and so here I am." Explained Sora.

"And now the Plasm Wraith have it." Remarked Nana.

"You said you're looking for the emeralds, but is it really just to keep them from the wrong hands ?" Asked Sora.

"Yeah, chaos emeralds possess immense power, you can do anything with it, at least that's what one of our comrade said, Chaos Emerald came from another world." Said Cloud.

"At the very least that last emerald doesn't fall to our enemies hand." Said Popo.

"So Sora, what are you gonna do now ?" Asked Cloud.

"Well I...I think I decided to stay with you guys if that's okay, plus I need to get the emerald back, if bad guys really is going after it, then I want to help." Answered Sora

"Are you sure ? You're not doing anything important in your world ?" Asked Nana.

"Yes I'm sure, and don't worry I'm already finished with my current business." Replied Sora.

"Our enemy is called Neo Subspace Army, they're a universe spanning threat, if you got involved with us then you will be involved in multiple worlds spanning problem." Warned Nana.

"Well it's not any different than what I used to do, so its not a problem for me." Sora answered cheerfully.

"Okay then Sora, welcome aboard, many of us are still on a mission and haven't come back yet, let's get you introduced to everyone else." Cloud, Popo, and Nana give Sora a tour all over the mansion to introduce himself to the mansion residents.

Dining Hall

First stop is the dining hall where the Bowser is talking with Bayonetta.

"Why don't you say yes to my offer, with you on my side, Koopa Troop will be more powerful than ever." It seems Bowser is trying to recruit Bayonetta to his ranks.

"The answer still no, I'm not interested in taking over the world or conquering kingdoms, besides I like living on Earth just fine." Bayonetta give her answer.

"Your loss, a lot of people would beg to join my army." Bragged Bowser.

"I bet they are." Bayonetta respond sarcastically.

"If only there's a way to show my achievements even you would be impressed." Said Bowser. "Oh wait ! The archive room must've have that list !"

"Try as you might I'm not interested." Replied Bayonetta.

"When you say you're a witch aligned with forces of Underworld, here i was thinking of making you my minion." Bowser recalling the first time Bayonetta appear in World of Trophy.

"Too bad, I guess I'm just not to obey stereotype." Bayonetta emits dark energy from her hand. "I would use this on unsavory people like you."

Just then the door to the dining room is opened as Cloud gave Sora the tour to the mansion. "Okay Sora, this is the dining hall where we have our meals."

Unfortunately this is a bad timing, Sora saw Bayonetta emits dark energy near Bowser, and Sora started jump to conclusion.

He quickly get between Bowser and Bayonetta, summon his keyblade, and ready to fight the Umbra Witch. "I won't let you use darkness to harm this uhh...turtle creature !"

"Sora stop !" Cloud, Popo, and Nana tried to stop Cloud, but it's too late as he swing his keyblade, and take a strike at Bayonetta.

"Uugh..." Bayonetta may be down, but this didn't stop Sora as he jumped and about to do an overhead strike on the witch, Bayonetta not taking this lying down as she, uses Bat Within to dodge Sora's attack, triggering Witch Time as she pummels Sora's back with numerous punches.

Witch Time is over and Sora got sent flying until he crashed to a wall.

"Cloud who is this ?" Asked Bayonetta.

"Well..."Cloud still not knowing how to answer, Sora recovered and charged at Bayonetta.

Bayonetta pushing Cloud out of the way as she summon her weapon the katana Shuraba and managed to block Sora's attack.

"Sora stop this this instant !" Yelled Cloud.

Sora however didn't listen as he continue attacking Bayonetta with their blades clashing with each other across the room.

Sora stand at the table and fired Ragnarok at Bayonetta, but she's able to dodge the attack, triggering a Witch Time, Bayonetta waste no time using Shuraba special technique, she made a circular motion, thrust her sword downward and blast a powerful energy beam.

Sora unable to dodge as he got blasted and crashing to a wall again, but that didn't stop him as he persists in fighting, as he struggle to get up Bayonetta used Wicked Weave as Madama Butterfly hand appear above Sora and grabbed him.

"Okay enough of this, Cloud who is this boy with exaggerated spiky hair and clown shoes attacking me." Bayonetta demanded to know.

"Sorry Bayonetta, this is Sora, we found him fighting the Plasm Wraith in the forest rather far from here." Explained Cloud.

"And Sora will you calm down already !" Demanded Cloud.

"But Cloud ! If I don't do something she's going to steal the turtle's heart." Answered Sora which weird out the others.

"What ! Okay why would I steal Bowser's heart of all people !" Bayonetta is angry at that statement.

"Bayonetta, while she's hot, not my type, I've devoted myself to Peach and no one else." Replied Bowser.

"What ! No that's not what I mean ! What I mean is she's going to turn him into a Heartless !" Clarified Sora.

"Bowser already an evil overlord in his world, i think its too late for that." Snarked Bayonetta.

"Wait, evil overlord ?" Sora looks confused as he looked at Bowser.

"I know this may sounds like judging a book by it's cover, but Bowser is a villain in his world." Said Nana. "And Bayonetta does have the look of an evil sorceress."

"Oh..well see, I have a friend called the Beast, he's actually a prince cursed to have monstrous appearance." Explained Sora. "That's why I was quick to defend Bowser."

"Well Bowser here is a conqueror through and through, we cooperate because we have mutual interest." Explained Cloud.

"Good thing we clarified the misunderstanding." Popo is relieved.

"Evil ! Well you're not completely wrong, but try the word ambitious, it's less insulting that way." Bowser sugarcoating his actions.

"Apparently the territory he has is not enough, always needed to expand do you ?" Snarked Bayonetta.

"Every good empire knows expansion means making things better so yes." Defended Bowser.

"I know we have sketchy people like Bowser and Bayonetta here at the mansion, but were fighting side by side." Explained Cloud.

"Sketchy ? That's quite the mean word, are you sure you just never encounter a woman like me." Bayonetta got up and acting seductive to Cloud, making the former SOLDIER nervous.

"O..okay that's enough of that, let's just move on, Bayonetta release him." After releasing Sora from Madama Butterfly's grip Cloud use the cure materia on Sora and healed him with Curaga, he wanted to drag Sora out of the room, but Bowser stops him and taking a closer look.

"Well Cloud looks like you got yourself a rival in the spiky hair department mwahahahaha...watch your back kid, Cloud is known for 'eliminating the competition when it comes to his hair.'" Bowser making fun of Cloud.

"Now you're just saying nonsense, let's get out of here and find someone less eccentric." Cloud try dragging Sora out of the room, but Sora object. "But we can't leave her, Cloud are you really having someone using darkness stay here !?"

"Bayonetta ? Her powers may not what we call good, but she's our companion, she's not evil, nor she is our enemy." Explained Cloud.

"Wait what !? She uses darkness, but she's not evil ? I thought Riku was the only one capable of that." Sora just can't believe what he hear.

Cloud dragged Sora out of the Dining Hall and continue the tour.

Training Room

Cloud bring Sora to the training room. "Here's where we train in the mansion."

"We have to be in good shape in order to defeat our enemies." Said Popo.

"You say that, but you only came here rarely." Nana call Popo out as he put his head down.

"Wow such amazing display of combat." Sora is amazed watching the training.

"If you needed to spar just come here, you can ask anyone to spar, rarely anyone ever say no." Adviced Cloud.

Lounge

"This is where we relax, or just chilling out." Explained Popo.

"The Queen Peach ship reported missing on the way back from Wuhu Island, SAR team is on the case, we'll be hearing more future updates."

"This tv thing is fascinating, it can deliver news from anywhere." Miriel is busy being awed by the tv.

"As you can see here you can watch TV, talking or socializing with the others, enjoying the view from the window, etc.." Explained Popo.

Smash Mansion - Hallway

As they continue the tour Cloud begin to ask Sora a question. "Sora why did you attack Bayonetta earlier ?"

"Sorry, when i saw that dark energy i though she was evil." Answered Sora.

"Are things like that in your world ? Darkness is evil ?" Asked Cloud.

"Yes, where I'm from light is good, and darkness is evil." Explajned Sora.

"I see, however Sora you're not in your world anymore, around here light isn't always good and dark isn't always evil, so promise you won't attack just anyone because they possess darkness powers." Replied Cloud.

"I...understand." Sora answered apologetically.

After Sora is given the tour of the entire mansion and met several people already, the last stop is a room.

"This is your room from now on, hope it's to your liking." Said Cloud.

Sora opened the door and seemed to like what he see. "This place is amazing ! I love it here !"

"Okay then, we leave you to it." Cloud and the others left.

Sora's Room

Sora is lying on the bed. "I got sent to another world, how is everyone doing ? They must've been looking for me."

Sora can hear sounds from his pocket, he reached out to it and picked up his gummiphone, Sora is apparently contacted by unknown person. Curious Sora decided to tap the unknown sender.

"Sora it's me Master Hand."

"It seems you managed to enter the mansion with no trouble, remember find an opportunity to get the emerald, the forces of light counting on you."

"Forces of light huh ? And yet it asked me to do something sneaky, not to mention no one in this building look like bad people, well maybe some do, but... I think it's best if I take a look around." Sora got up and left his room.

Smash Mansion - Hallway

Sora looked around to find (OoT)Zelda walking in the hall.

"Oh, hi Sora, enjoying your stay ?" Asked (OoT)Zelda.

"Yeah, this place is nice Princess Zelda." Replied Sora.

"It's ok just call me Zelda, no need for formalities." Offered (OoT)Zelda

"Right." Nodded Sora.

"So I've been meaning to ask this, but your weapon is very unique." (OoT)Zelda referring to the keyblade.

"The keyblade ? Yeah I guess I can see that, but despite it appearance, it also a powerful weapon, the way it can change forms also makes it very adaptive to many situations." Continued Sora.

"It sure is...by the way Zelda, what about you ? What do you use to fight ?" Asked Sora.

"I mostly rely on my magic, and I also receive ninja training from my mentor." Answered (OoT)Zelda.

"Can I see your magic ?" Asked Sora.

"Sure." (OoT)Zelda conjure an orb of light at her palm.

"Light magic ?" Sora is surprised.

"Yeah, this power has been passed on from generations, all the previous Princess Zeldas wield this power." Explained (OoT)Zelda.

"Previous Zeldas ?" Sora looked confused.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it later."

Immediately after the two encounter Bayonetta again. "Ah there you are, there's a new spell I'd like to try on, won't you two help me with my practice ?"

"Sure i don't mind helping." (OoT)Zelda agreed to help.

Bayonetta then stare at Sora, clearly she hasn't forgive him from earlier.

"Uuh...I guess I can help too ?" Sora answered hesitantly, he made it so obvious (OoT)Zelda seemed to notice.

"Good, let us head there right away." Bayonetta take Sora and (OoT)Zelda to HMS ship where the artificial Paradiso Gate is located.

HMS Shop

"Welcome to my shop...oh who's this ? Everyone said there's a newcomer, are you the guy ?" Asked HMS.

"Yeah I'm Sora." Sora introduced himself.

"Well Sora, I'm known as the Happy Mask Salesman, of course now I'm selling more than just masks, if there's something you want or need just head on here."

"Sure, we'll do...wow you got a lot of stuff I've never seen before here...so is this wings ?" Sora looked at the Chimaera Wings on sale.

"Yep, oh just to tell you, this wing can give you the power to return to places you previously visited, interested ?"

"Yeah...but this is how much I got." Sora fork over all the munny he have.

"This is..." HMS looked shocked by what he sees.

"Something wrong ? It's not enough is it ?" Asked Sora.

"No no, tell you what, I'll give you this for free for first time customer, here you go." HMS gave Sora the Chimaera Wings for free, "to use it just imagine the place you want to go, raise the wings to the air and done you'll be there in seconds."

Once Sora is done buying the Chimaera Wing he entered the gate alongside Bayonetta and (OoT)Zelda.

"I recognize that objects, munny's came from a world far far away from here, to think even the Realm of Light got affected, which means threats from Realm of Darkness won't be far behind." HMS face turned serious.

Paradiso

The heroes entered the portal and arrived in a floating island, it's a beautiful scenery with trees, flowing water and bright skies.

"Whoa where is this ?" Sora look amazed by the view.

"Paradiso, a realm you would rather not associate yourself with." Answered Bayonetta.

"Why not ? This place is beautiful." Questions Sora

"Only on the outside." Said Bayonetta.

"Hey Sora you seemed to be uneasy around Bayonetta." Whispered (OoT)Zelda.

"Well that's..." Sora is hesitant to answer.

"I get why though, she does have that domineering vibe." (OoT)Zelda let out a small laugh.

"That's...not it, hey Zelda do you get along with Bayonetta ?" Asked Sora.

"Im pretty sure i am, once you get to know her she's actually nice to talk to." Said (OoT)Zelda.

"You possess light magic, and Bayonetta is darkness, but despite that theres no animosity between you two ?" Asked Sora.

"No there's not i don't see why just because i have light and she's darkness means we must be enemies ?" Answered (OoT)Zelda.

"In my world light is good and darkness is evil, the forces of darkness have destroyed my home world, separates me and my friends, stealing people's hearts and turning them to monstrosities." Explained Sora. "Is it different from your world ?"

"I'm sorry to hear that, I can see why you would be biased towards the darkness after what it has done to you, in my case, we have Ganondorf, a Gerudo king excelled in physical strength and magic, he possessed dark magic, one day he managed to steal a powerful artifact called the Triforce of Power, despite the triforce divine origin, it doesn't eliminate Ganondorf magic, instead it enhance it, also we defeated Ganondorf by sealing him, and it would need the power of seven sages to do that, we have Rauru the sage of light, and my bodyguard Impa the sage of shadow, the sealing won't be possible without one of the sages." Explained (OoT)Zelda. "In other words, light and darkness doesn't decide who is good or evil, they don't have to be opposing forces, as they can be cooperative with each other."

"That is...the first time I hear this, during my travels no one has anything good to say about the darkness, to think light and darkness can work together instead of fighting each other is...unheard of." Sora is feeling conflicted.

"Sora if you decide to stay with us, you will see that things aren't always like that, that whether light or dark can be good or evil always depends on the person." Warned (OoT)Zelda.

"You two done talking ?" Asked Bayonetta.

"Yes, so when do we begin ?" Asked (OoT)Zelda.

"Not yet, there's someone else who like to join us." Said Bayonetta.

"Really ? Who ?" (OoT)Zelda curious.

"Someone who surprisingly have as much distaste at these angels as I am." Answered Bayonetta.

"Angels !? Were not here to fight angels are we ?" Sora is surprised.

"If it makes you feel any better these angels are enemies to humanity." Bayonetta state down at Sora.

"That I agree." The heroes turned around and saw it's Simon who entered the portal.

"Simon ? What are you doing here ?" Asked (OoT)Zelda. "Wait ! Are you the one Bayonetta said who would be coming ?"

"Yes, and i agree to help Bayonetta should something went wrong with her training." Simon the look at Sora. "Hmm..you must be the newcomer."

"Ah yes, I'm Sora." Sora introduced himself to Simon.

"Simon Belmont." Simon did the same as both shake hands.

"Didn't think you'd be here as well considering this is a realm of light." Said (OoT)Zelda.

"Light aligned they may be, but this realm belong to a foreign deity, Paradiso and it's inhabitants are no less loathsome than the demons and the forces of darkness i fight." Said Simon.

Not long after, several Affinity angels showed up and fly above the heroes.

"Here they come !" One of the angels fly towards (OoT)Zelda and about to hit her with it's mace, but she throw Deku Nuts to the ground, using it as a smoke bomb, the angel startled as (OoT)Zelda disappeared, but then the angel got pierced at the stomach from (OoT)Zelda's light arrow, she then shot another arrow and strike the head of the other angel which kills it.

Simon is surrounded by two angels, one armed with a mace, and the other is a bow. The bow angel fly a bit to fight in a distance. Both angels make their move, but Simon seeing the disadvantage he has, already came up with a plan, he used his stopwatch to stop time for the angels.

He used his Vampire Killer to extemd it's reach and impale the bow angel and slashed it's body. However the stopwatch effect wore off and the mace angel continue moving to attack Simon, Simon threw the bow angel at the mace angel, causing them to collide and fell down, as Simon walked closer he pierced the necks of the two angels, killing it.

Bayonetta of course have no problem with easily slaughtering any angels who come her way, she kicked one angel on it's face and finish it by wicked weaves, conjuring Madama Butterfly heels to crush the angel.

Bayonetta pull out her guns and begin shooting in multi direction to kill or at least injure them just to make things easier for Simon and Zelda.

Meanwhile for Sora he looks rather hesitant in fighting. One angel confront him and about to strike him down, fortunately Bayonetta shoot the angel on the head, and conjure a guillotine, beheading the angel.

Seeing this got Sora scared as he tripped and fell backwards.

The battle is over and there are no more angels for now.

"Sora you okay, here take my hand" (OoT)Zelda offered her hand, which Sors grabbed and helped him stand up.

"Thanks Zelda." Sora thanked (OoT)Zelda.

"You can't let your guard down, the angels will show you no mercy." Chastised Bayonetta.

"I believe it's your method that do this, I'm from medieval era, and I know exposing kids to a guillotine would scare them." Simon referring to Bayonetta torture attacks.

"Fine, I suppose I need to know when or where to execute my finishing attacks." Sighed Bayonetta.

"These angels are beings of light right ? Why would they see us as the enemy ?" Asked Sora.

"I may not know anything about the world you come from, but light isn't always good, 1/3 of angels of the lord betrayed him, as punishment they got cast down from Heaven, where they become demons and gained new monstrous form, fallen angels can always return to their previous angelic form to deceive mankind." Explained Simon. "There's also the fact that Dracula have minions with light alignment with him."

"Well now, didn't think I'd hear such nuanced words from a Belmont, but I have to agree, the angels we're dealing isn't from Simon's religion, but a different kind of angels that serve a different God, despite Paradiso beauty, like i said the angels here are anything but benevolent." Added Bayonetta.

Another angel appeared and this one is different from the rest, a red serpentine angel weating golden helmet, an Inspired angel.

Inspired spin it's body to tail slap the heroes, Bayonetta able to jump to dodge it, but the other three got hit as they fell down from the attack.

Knowing Bayonetta is the serious threat Inspired choose to target her first, it open it's mouth in an attempt to eat the witch, however Bayonetta able to grab both upper and lower jaws and slam the Inspired to the ground.

"Everyone cover me ! That means you too Sora !" Ordered Bayonetta as she prepare some kind of spell.

Inspired got up again and fly around the floating island as it launches fireballs from its mouth.

Simon using the Vampire Killer to destroy the fireballs while (OoT)Zelda firing light arrows at the Inspired.

And then a second Inspired appear to aid the first one, it immediately goes after Bayonetta while she's concentrating.

"Sora !" Shouted (OoT)Zelda.

"R-right !" Sora summon his keyblade, he rushed to the Inspired and cast Aeroga, causing the Inspired to be hindered by a whirlwind.

Sora then jumped and struck the Inspired in an overhead attack.

Inspired roared as it fly away to attack from a distance.

Both Inspired's shoot fireballs to attack the heroes, Simon destroyed one with his Vampire Killer, but Sora blocked it and send it back, attacking one of the Inspired.

Both Inspireds then fly at high speed towards the heroes, to eat them, however Sora use Magnet Burst, Sora create a strong magnetic field that pull the Inspired together and trapped them in one spot before continue attacking them.

(OoT)Zelda rain down light magic from above and attack the Inspired with a barrage of light, and as for Simon, he uses

the technique Holy Ruin by focusing his spiritual energy on his fist and punched the Inspired so hard it freed them from Sora's Magnega and send them flying until they crash into a nearby floating island.

"Alright, let's do this." Bayonetta seems to have finished preparing the spell as she perform Demon Masquerade. Bayonetta turned into humanoid butterfly monster and she fly to finish the Inspired off, she unleash a barrage of Wicked Weaves and destroy the Inspireds.

With that done Bayonetta return to the heroes and undo the fusion.

"Good work everyone, the spell worked thanks to you all." Bayonetta compliment her companions.

"That's the spell you're working on ?" Asked (OoT)Zelda.

"Yes, it's called Demon Masquerade, to summarize you fuse with the demon you make a contract with, like what you saw earlier." Explained Bayonetta. "This is a dangerous and difficult spell, but I might need it against our enemies."

"How are you doing Sora ?" Asked Simon. "You did good yourself."

"Thanks, but this is my first time pointing my blade at a being belong to the light." Sora still hesitant.

"I know this might sound like a shock to you, but you will need to get used to this." Said Bayonetta as everyone leave Paradiso, not without collecting the halos of course.

Sora's Room

Everyone went their separate ways as Sora return to his room, contemplating what has happened. "Light isn't always good...of all the world's I've traveled so far this is the first time that something like this happened, can i even trust that Master Hand ?"

"And this people ? Are they really the bad guy ? This Bayonetta sure possess scary looking powers, but she doesn't seem evil."

Sora leave his room again and as he walked around the mansion he encountered Red and Blue.

"Hello there, never seen you before, ph you mustcbe the new guy." Blue greeted Sora.

"Yeah I'm Sora, I just got here." Sora introduced himself.

"I'm Blue, and this is Red and Pikachu, we were going to have lunch, why don't you join us ?" Offered Blue.

"Oh sure." Sora accept the invite as the three headed to the dining hall.

Dining Hall

Sora, Red, and Blue grab a plate and pickup the foods already prepared, and return to their seats.

"So Sora, where are you from ?" Asked Red.

"My home is called Destiny Island." Answered Sora.

"I see, an islander, well Blue and I came from Pallet Town, it's what you called the boonies on Kanto Region." Explained Red.

"Glad not everyone come from big cities." Sora laughed a little.

"Don't worry, no one here making fun of people who came from the countryside." Said Red. "If anything some of us came from the countryside."

"So I was briefed about this world, you two are fighters as well ?" Asked Sora.

"Red's the only one ever summoned here even though I should be qualified as well." Grumbled Blue.

"Well i am a fighter of sorts, but I pretty much left the fighting to my pokemons, like Pikachu here." Red pointed at Pikachu who is on his shoulder.

"Pokemons ?" Asked Sora.

"Well in a way to everyone else they're like super-powered animals, in our world we catch them, and train them, people like Blue and me are called Pokemon Trainers." Explained Red.

"I see, so that's how you fight...you know I think it's kinda similar to Dream Eaters, they're like super-powered animals too, they really helped me during my keyblade mastery exam, although I can't bring them to real world." Lamented Sora.

"You can't bring them to the real world ?" Asked Red.

"Yeah Dream Eaters are well not of reality, they exist in world of dreams so they can't exist here." Explain Sora.

"That so...you know with the Chaos Emerald, it might be possible to bring them here ?" Suggested Blue.

"C'mon Blue as nice as that sounds, we can't just use the Emerald's power willy nilly." Replied Red.

Seeing this is a chance, Sora tried to use Red and Blue albeit reluctantly. "Please, I just want to see them one more time, and this won't take long I swear."

Red and Blue looked at each other and they actually sympathize with Sora's plight.

"Okay, we get it, if I got separated from my pokemons I would do anything to see them again, anyway we entrust the emeralds to Isabelle, after we're done eating we'll take you to her." Red, Blue, and Sora finish their meal and head to the basement.

Basement - Archive Room

"Hey Isabelle." Red greeted the Shih Tzu.

"Oh hi Red, Blue, and you're Sora, I was able to find you in the database, I'm Isabelle nice to meet you." Isabelle offered her hand to Sora as he shakes it back.

"Database ?" Asked Sora.

"Yeah, has anyone ever told you about the purpose of this world ?" Asked Red.

"Not a complete detail, I mean people got summoned for a tournament here right ?" Asked Sora.

"Yeah, and here is where Master Hand, the organizer of the tournaments read about the candidates he want to participate in their tournaments." Explained Red.

"Master Hand you say !?" Exclaimed Sora as he quickly shut up.

"Yeah...wait from your reaction you acted like you know Master Hand." Red getting suspicious.

"Oh it's nothing like that, I'm just surprised at the name that's all." Sora quickly brushed the suspicion off.

"Really ? Well I suppose it is a strange sounding name, not to mention how he looks like a floating white glove." Remarked Red, saving Sora.

"Well Isabelle, Sora would like to borrow one emerald is that okay ?" Asked Blue.

"I don't know, unless it's important I can't just let anyone playing around with an object of great power." Replied Isabelle.

"But this is important, Sora is.." Before Blue can finish Sora cut him off.

"It's okay Blue, I understand, Red, Blue thanks, but i think that can wait." Sora left the archive room and return to his room.

"Huh ? He changed his mind fast ?" Questions Blue after seeing Sora's reaction.

Sora's Room

Once again Sora lie on his bed as he begin pondering. "Master Hand is the organizer of the tournaments, and yet why does he want the Chaos Emerald from the people he himself chosen ?"

Sora then hear a knock on the door, he got up and opened it to see that it's Cloud behind the door.

"Mind if I come in ?" Asked Cloud.

"Not at all, please come in." Sora let Cloud in and closed the door.

"So have you talked to everyone yet ?" Asked Cloud.

"Well yeah, ive talked to some people." Replied Sora.

"Feeling adjusted yet or..."

"Yeah I guess I am, I'm no stranger to visiting other worlds you know." Smiled Sora.

"That's good...hey listen I do some digging myself and you said you met me at a tournament right ? And I made some kind of deal with an Underworld deity ?" Asked Cloud.

"Yeah that's how I met you Cloud." Answered Sora. "Or at least the Cloud that I know."

"Not just me, but some of my friends are there too huh ? Guess the universe is bigger than you think." Said Cloud.

"It really is, just when I thought I've seen everything, theres always more to be discovered !" Sora voiced his excitement.

"You really act like you seen everything though, even Bowser don't intimidate you at all." Said Cloud. "You even mistook him for a good guy."

"Well other than Beast who is my friend I do also meet a bad guy named Pete, Bowser also reminds me of him, Pete may not be a large talking turtle monster but he is a large talking cat monster." Answered Sora.

"How's everyone treating you ?" Asked Cloud.

"They've been really good to me, some invite me to train together, some even wanting to help me see my friends again." Answered Sora.

"That's good to hear, all of us came from a different world, the tournament may made us compete with each other, but through combat we came to respect and admire each other, thats why everyone seems to be on good terms with one another." Cloud assured Sora. "And there's also the fact that all of us have a common enemy to deal with, so some like Bowser willing to put aside his differences to help us."

"Yeah it's an amazing place here, heroes and maybe villains from many worlds join forces to combat evil, and thanks for checking in on me, you may not be the Cloud I know, but you're still as nice as he is." Smiled Sora.

"I figure I should do something, considering to you I am a familiar face." Remarked Cloud.

"Thanks, but I already accept that you're not the Cloud I know, and I'd like to get to know more about this Cloud." Said Sora.

And so Cloud talked about himself with Sora listening and followed by Sora telling Cloud about himself, once that done Cloud left Sora's Room.

Now alone Sora is getting more and more conflicted about the mission, he grabbed his gummiphone and begin texting Master Hand.

"Master Hand are you here ?"

"Yes Sora, is it an update on about your mission ?"

"Yeah, and I'm sorry I just can't do it anymore."

"What do you mean you can't ? The forces of light is counting on you."

"Everyone here seems so nice are they really the followers of darkness you said they are ? Well i mean i did encounter a witch with dark powers, but i also met a princess with a light power."

"Oh yes, that princess has betrayed us by joining forces with the witch, Sora they may look and act good on first glance, but mark my words it's an attempt to deceive you, they want the emeralds for their own nefarious purposes."

"And what is that nefarious purposes ?"

"They all each have varying goals, such as taking over the world, wreaking as many havoc as they can, getting money through any means necessary, etc."

"How are people with such different goals able to work together ?"

"Look, the moment you're wasting your time asking questions, they're using the time to scheme for their next move."

"Master Hand, you're the organizer of the Super Smash Bros tournament are you not ? Why are you trying to get the emeralds from the people you yourself summon here ?"

"They all have gone rogue which is why I have to use subtlety to do this, now enough with the questions and start completing your mission !"

Sora then put his phone in his pocket as he went out again.

Smash Mansion

"Let's see I need more info before I made up my mind, maybe I'll go try to talk to Isabelle." Sora head down to the basement again to speak to Isabelle.

Archive Room

Sora opened the door and approached Isabelle. "Hi Isabelle." Greeted Sora.

"Oh hi Sora, what brings you here ? Is there anything I can help you with ?" Asked Isabelle.

"Yeah, i wanted to ask, what do you know about Master Hand ?" Asked Sora.

"Master Hand huh ? Sorry but I'm not the right person to ask for that since its my first time in this world, not to mention the people got summoned on the first tournament hasn't back from their mission yet, I suggest you try to talk to Popo, Nana, or the kid Zelda, they've been around since the second tournament."

"I see thanks Isabelle." Sora then left the room.

Smash Mansion - Lounge

Sora walk around the mansion to look for Popo and Nana until he encounter them in the lounge, he saw the Ice Climbers talking to Zelda and two identical looking boys.

"There's always bad news reported." Complained Popo.

"The Caribou population decreasing made me worried, were they really overhunted to that point ?" Asked Nana.

"People should know overhunting is wrong no matter what, hunting should be done by necessity." Said Young Link.

"Could we get to the bottom of this ? I mean it may have nothing to do with our mission, but we can still help by doing something right ?" Suggested Nana.

"That's true, but searching an entire snowy field for hunters would be hard, not to mention we never been to that part of Canada before." Argued Popo.

"Well we won't be able to accomplish anything by arguing and sitting here." Said (LTP)Link.

"That's right ! Zelda you possess telepathic powers right ? You can use that to detect hunters or something." Suggested Nana.

"Well I could...alright, familiar location or not I won't pass an opportunity to do good." (LTP)Zelda seemed to be on board.

"Hey kids." Greeted Sora.

"Hey Sora !" Popo and Nana greet him back.

"You must be the new guy, I'm Zelda, and this is Link." (LTP)Zelda introduce herself and her Link to Sora.

"Uh hi ? We already met Princess Zelda we were fighting angels with Simon and Bayonetta remember ?" Sora fail to realize this isn't the same Zelda he met earlier.

"Oh that must be the other Zelda, I was at the library earlier with Link." (LTP)Zelda stare at (LTP)Link. "He could use more reading."

"Well I'm more of a man of action than words." (LTP)Link justify himself.

"Knowledge wield as much power as physical strength does, you know some of those sword techniques are inside books as well." (LTP)Zelda chastising her Link.

"Okay I see your point." (LTP)Link relent.

"Other Zelda ? Uhh...never mind that now, there's something I want to ask." Shrugged Sora.

"What is it you want to know ? We'll answer to the best we can." Offered Nana.

"Nana and I are veterans here so feel free to ask anything." Boasted Popo.

"Right ? See can you tell me about Master Hand ?" Asked Sora.

"Master Hand ? Someone mentioned him to you ?" Asked Nana.

"Yeah, Red mentioned his name to me when we're seeing Isabelle, I was told that he's the one organize the tournament all of you take part in." Said Sora.

"That he is, well if you want to know how he's like let's just say he's very...eccentric." Said Nana.

"Egomaniacal." Added Popo.

"Hammy, always chewing the scenery whenever he shows up." Continued Nana.

"Don't forget narcissistic." Said Popo.

"And he can be such a drama queen sometimes." Sighed Nana.

"Wow he's...quite the character." Sora looking nervous.

"But despite all that he did take care of us while we're here and make sure we're comfortable in this world." Popo also mentioned Master Hand good side.

"And he has a brother called Crazy Hand." Added Nana.

"Master Hand has a brother too huh ? Okay so where is he ?" Asked Sora.

"That's...did anyone tell you ?" Asked Nana.

"Master Hand and his brother are abducted, and were trying to find them, and as for the tournament there won't be any here anytime soon darling." Bayonetta arrived at the lounge.

"There won't ?" Sora is confused.

"No, see Master Hand didn't send out invitations this time, we technically breaking into World of Trophy." Said Nana.

"Master Hand is abducted along with his brother, by a monster called Galeem, and Galeem is an angelic entity of light." Revealed Bayonetta. "Dealing with beings aligned with the light is easy for me, but will it be for you ?"

"I..I can ! I can fight evil even...even if they're aligned with the light.." Answered Sora.

"Alrihgt then...well that's what happened, unfortunately we don't know Master Hand's whereabouts, we still haven't find a clue to where he is unfortunately."

"At the very least he doesn't seem to be in any of the worlds we already visited." Said Popo.

"I see, thanks for the info...by the way if you're looking for clues, can't you ask the residents of this world ?" Asked Sora.

"No, because there's nothing outside this mansion, there aren't any people or civilizations in this world." Answered Bayonetta.

"Seriously ! There's nothing and no one ! But there's a blob monster when I appeared at the forest !" Exclaimed Sora.

"The Plasm Wraith isn't from this world, we accidentally bring it here, and now it's roaming out there somewhere." Said Popo.

"I know it's hard to believe, but this is how Master Hand create his world, honestly for a creator deity he really is too lazy to create living things." Remarked Bayonetta.

"I see, well thanks for the answers, I think I got a good grasp on what's going on." Sora left the lounge and once again return to his room.

("Hmm...sounds suspicious.") Bayonetta noticed Sora's odd behavior.

Sora's Room

Sora pull out his phone and begin texting Master Hand.

"Master Hand I got the emerald, I'm ready to hand it over."

"Splendid ! I know the warrior chosen by the keyblade doesn't disappoint, I'll be waiting at the forest I found you earlier, come alone, and don't let anyone follow you."

Sora done texting as he put his phone back in his pocket.

"That forest huh ? How will I get there from here ? I lost the Power of Waking so I can't get to where Master Hand is." Sora is pondering for a way to get back to the forest, but then he remembered that he was just given a Chimaera Wing, Sora left his room, trying to find the balcony.

As he ran around the mansion he bumped into Bayonetta again.

"My aren't we seeing each other often ?" Teased the witch.

"Say, uh Bayonetta can you show me a way to the balcony, I don't think Cloud shown me a way there yet." Asked Sora.

"If you want to go to the balcony just head that way and take the stairs, you'll reach the balcony." Bayonetta give him the directions.

"Thanks Bayonetta." Sora head towards the direction mentioned and went to the balcony.

("Now what is he doing going up there ? Sora's been very suspicious lately.") Curious, Bayonetta decided to follow Sora by transforming to a crow.

Balcony

Sora finally reached the balcony, before he used the Chimaera Wings, he took the time to witness the view from above. The World of Trophy beyond the mansion is a vast expanse, it's beautiful and yet so empty as well.

Bayonetta then transformed to her cobra form as she slither closely to Sora.

Already see what he needs to see Sora used the Chimaera Wings to send him to the forest, with Bayonetta also got carried along.

Forest

As Sora...and Bayonetta arrived, Bayonetta quickly hide in the bushes, she managed to do it stealthily as she didn't rustle the bushes.

Sora then call out to Master Hand, much to Bayonetta surprise.

Master Hand teleported and appeared before Sora. "Sora I've been waiting for you, were you followed ?" Master Hand look around.

"No, I'm here alone like you ask." Answered Sora.

"Perfect, now the emerald please." Master Hand demanding the emerald from Sora.

"Not yet Master Hand." Objected Sora.

"Uugh what now ! Can't you see I'm very busy !" Complained Master Hand.

"Before I give you the emerald, I have a few more questions, is it true that you're the organizer of the Super Smash Bros tournament ?" Asked Sora.

"I am, is that all ?" Asked Master Hand.

"No, next isn't the Smash Mansion your property ? Why aren't you there ? Everyone said they've been lookong for you." Asked Sora.

"Those fighter has give rogue, they want to kill me to take over this world !" Answered Master Hand.

"What's the point of that ? There's nothing here." Sora point out his surrounding.

"Exactly ! Which is why they think they can claim ownership of this world." Answeres Master Hand.

"If that's true can't you just banish them and prevent them from coming back to this world ?" Asked Sora.

"Well I can, but some of them are very powerful, which is why I need the emerald for that." Answered Master Hand.

"Well now what do we have here ?" Bayonetta has heard enough and decided to reveal herself.

"What ! Bayonetta ! Sora you said you weren't followed !" Exclaimed Master Hand.

"No need to blame the boy, I must say I'm pretty good with stealth, is this where you were Master Hand ?" Asked Bayonetta.

"Uuhhh...yes here I am ! I'm on a secret mission to defeat Galeem." Master Hand seemed to be in panic.

"Wait a minute ! You said you serve Galeem !" Sora remind Master Hand of what he said before.

"T-that was a lie, a secret mission to weaken Galeem from inside !" Master Hand tried to weasel himself out of this one.

"And we want Galeem to be defeated, how is us killing you accomplish that ?" Asked Bayonetta.

Unable to counter the heroes anymore Master Hand decided to stop all pretenses and go for the attack. "You just have to ask too many questions didn't you ! This would've been solved earlier of you just obey my words !"

Master Hand firing lasers from all five of his fingers, which Sora and Bayonetta dodged, in Bayonetta's case this activates Witch Time as she give Master Hand a brutal beatdown, combining physical attacks and Wicked Weaves.

Witch Time is over as Master Hand fall to the ground.

Sora summon his keyblade and proceed to continue where Bayonetta left off, Sora used Ars Arcanum as he deliver another beatdown to Master Hand.

"Master Hand ! What happened to you !" Bayonetta demanded to know.

However Master Hand didn't answer as he decide to continue attacking, he curled up himself into a fist and launched himself at the heroes.

Sora and Bayonetta caught off guard as they both got hit and crashed to a tree.

Master Hand continue his attack as he hovers above Sora and Bayonetta as he's about to flatten them, however he got struck by a light from above, causing him to fall as Sora and Bayonetta get out of the way.

"I know you don't need any help, but I have a reason to jump in." Palutena appears and descend to the ground.

Palutena looked at Sora, she smiled and introduced herself. "Greetings warrior chosen by the keyblade, I am Palutena, Goddess of light."

"A Goddess of light ?" Sora is at awed at Palutena's presence.

"You know what happen to Master Hand Palutena ?" Asked Bayonetta.

"Sadly no, but what i can say is this Master Hand is a fake, a mere clone, I can tell by his lack of divinity." Palutena point out the lack of divine aura surrounding the fake Master Hand.

"Well it's not like the real one is full of divinity either." Bayonetta joking at Master Hand expense as the two women laughed.

"So this one not the real Master Hand ?" Asked Sora.

"Unfortunately no, Galeem must've cloned him." Answered Palutena.

"So he has that kind of power does he ? Hopefully he won't make copies of us if he knows what good for him." Bayonetta threatening Galeem.

"Let's finish this." Bayonetta use Demon Masquerade to fuse with Madama Butterfly as she grabbed Master Hand Clone and throw it at Palutena.

Palutena firing Mega Laser at the clone, followed by Sora using Ragnarok, as he shot a numerous projectile to Master Hand.

Master Hand clone fell down, but he refused to give up, Master Hand curled himself into a fist and charged at the heroes, but Bayonetta intercept him with Madama Butterfly's fist, Sora attacking the clone with relentless assault and Palutena finish him off with a beam of light.

"And now time for the climax." Bayonetta is going to finish the clone off, Palutena know what Bayonetta meant and..

"Sorry Sora." Palutena teleport to Sora and covered his eyes.

"Hey I can't see anything !" Complained Sora.

"I know, that's the point." Palutena teased Sora.

"AVAVAGO !" Bayonetta begin to summon a demon as some of her clothes disappeared and a magic circle formed, Gomorrah appeared from the magic circle and viciously tore the Master Hand Clone with it's teeth and swallowed it, Gomorrah return to Inferno after that.

"That takes care of that." With the summoning done Bayonetta clothes return back to the way it was.

Palutena remove her hand from Sora's eyes as the keyblade wielder protest. "Why do you cover my eyes for ?"

"I could tell you, but you need to offer me your keyblade in exchange." Palutena messing with Sora.

"What !" Sora is shocked by Palutena's demand.

"I'm kidding, it just Bayonetta tend to get naked whenever she summons a demon." Palutena teasing Sora again.

"Well he is at that age, what will it be Sora ? I could show you an amazing view if you like." Bayonetta join in on the fun.

Sora's face turns red. "N-no need ! I'm fine !"

"Hahaha, okay i think thats enough messing around for today, Sora the keyblade wielder, I can't believe our conflicts has reached your world as well, your realm is the farthest away from all of us." Stated Palutena.

"Is that so ? But if my world is affected, won't it mean there's a chance my world is in danger too ?" Asked Sora.

"That's a huge possibility, now that they know you're here there's no doubt our enemy would covet the things your world has such as Kingdom Hearts itself." Speculate Palutena.

"Hmm...I'm not too worried because i have my friends to defend our world in my absence, but still." Sora is still pondering on what to do.

"If you'd like I can send you back to your world." Offered Palutena.

"I don't know how I should face them to be honest, I should be in the Final World for abusing the Power of Waking, now they must all be looking for me." Explained Sora. "And now I'm here getting involved in another adventure, will they be upset ?"

"If you're still unsure, you're free to stay at the mansion, but there's a strong chance your friends could be involved in our conflicts too, so should you met your friends by chance you better come up with an answer of why you decided to stay with us." Palutena then teleported Sora and Bayonetta back to the mansion.

By the time Sora and Bayonetta return to the mansion, one by one the heroes who are on a mission have come back.

"So they're finally back, the mansion is going to be lively." Snarked Bayonetta.

"Wow look at the number of those people, i hope i can be friends with all of them." Sora and Bayonetta then went to the mansion.

"Just so you know Sora, we will talk about this during our meeting later." Said Bayonetta.

"Right, I see.." Sora spoke in a guilty tone.

"Don't worry, i'll vouch for you, at least you didn't just blindly obeyed him." Bayonetta reassure Sora.

Meanwhile...

Subspace

Hades visited Tabuu in Subspace. "Hello Tabuu, feeling unwell ?"

"Just get on with it Hades." Complained Tabuu.

"Well turns out some have failed and some have succeed in their mission." Said Hades.

"How many Chaos Emeralds do we have now ?" Asked Tabuu.

"Three, and while that means the enemy suppose to have four, according to Master Hand clone one Chaos Emerald is inside some kind of monster not affiliated with either side." Explained Hades.

"I see so each side has three emeralds then, and the Beanstar pieces ?" Asked Tabuu.

"The enemy has three of them." Answered Hades.

"I see, we just have to succeed next time, as long the pieces is incomplete they can't make a wish." Said Tabuu.

"Now how many worlds have we connect to each other ?" Asked Tabuu.

"Plenty, while those pesky heroes busy collecting the emeralds, the rest of our army is working on making pathways between worlds uninterrupted." Explained Hades.

"Is that so ? Then our true mission has gone unimpeded." Said Tabuu.

"But of course considering our mission affecting so many worlds there is one huge surprise, the Master Hand clone we supposedly sent to attack our enemies, encounter a keyblade wielder." Revealed Hades.

"What ! Keybalde wielder ! But the world they reside in...!"

"I know, their world is far far away compare to the world where our pawns and enemies reside." Continue Hades. "Demise already make his move towards that world, specifically the Realm of Darkness."

"If we managed to make a connection to that world then...excellent, won't be long now for the second seal to be broken." Tabuu is filled with excitement. "However that doesn't change the fact that we only have three emeralds, I believe we need to have more manpower on our side."

"In that case I have someone in mind." Hades made a devious smile.

G Corp Main Office

A man with sinister looking face sit in a lavish office, he faced the window behind him as he looked outside located in the top of the building of G Corp, one of the largest companies in Japan.

A knocking sound to the door can be heard.

"Come in." Said the man.

The door opened and a beautiful woman with blond hair and wearing purple dress and sunglasses. "I've checked the premises, the place is crawling with cops, making a move now would be risky."

"Do you truly believe they can arrest me ?" The man seems fully confident the police can't touch him.

"It's less about you and more about the company, you may be untouchable, but G Corp isn't as invincible, I'm sure you can tell the difference Kazuya Mishima." Warned the woman.

"Hmph...so what did you learn ?" Asked Kazuya.

"I managed to hack into the security camera and found this." She showed Kazuya the footage as she placed a tablet on Kazuya's desk.

Kazuya looked into the tablet and looked surprised as there's a familiar figure among them. "Ryu ? Wherever this man goes, trouble isn't far away from him, so what I sensed earlier wasn't wrong."

"You were able to sense something of a great power, coming from Namco Theater." Asked the woman.

"I did, thanks to my Devil Gene, so where's Ryu after that ?" Asked Kazuya.

"Here's what strange, none of the footage in the camera shows Ryu leaving the building, and the theater doesn't seem to have any other opened doors." Explained the woman.

"We can figure that out later, for now Nina I need you to look on the other people with him." Kazuya pointed at Jade, Donbe, and Hikari.

"Understood." But before Nina grabbed the tablet Kazuya stoped her and noticed something.

"Wait ! These two people...have I seen them somewhere before ?" Kazuya refer to Itsuki and Tsubasa.

"That would be Itsuki Aoi, he's the current CEO of Fortuna Entertainment, and the girl with him is Tsubasa Oribe, the rising star of Japan." Answered Nina.

"I remember, i did heard the story of the young CEO in the entertainment industry, it seems Fortuna is involved in this as well, Nina, I want you to arrange a meeting with Fortuna, and after that, do a background check on Ryu other companions." Kazuya pointed at the picture of Jade, Hikari, and Donbe.

Nina nodded as she take the tablet and left Kazuya's office.

"I don't know what you're looking for Ryu, but if it's an object of great power then it will be mine." Muttered Kazuya.

"Kazuya Mishima." A voice is speaking on Kazuya's head.

"What ! Who goes there !" Kazuya is startled and got up from his seat in response.

A black portal formed under his feet and black arms grabbed him and dragged him down.

Underworld Castle

As Kazuya fall from the height, he transform to his devil form and flapped his wings to avoid crashing to the ground. "Where is this ?" Kazuya looked around at the dreary looking building.

"Why this is the Underworld, welcome Kazuya Mishima." Hades himself teleported in front of Kazuya as he announced his presence.

"Underworld ? I know i'm still alive, you're the one who brought me here aren't you !" Kazuya transformed and fly towards Hades to punch him, but Hades able to caught his punch.

"Ah the Devil Gene, havent seen this in a while, you seem to be good at using yours, Azazel, at first i had my doubts bestowing such power to humans, but i can see that it might not be a completely silly idea after all." Hades then toss Kazuya as he crashed to a pillar. "Not much of a threat to me...yes I can see your lust for power trying to one day overthrow your master ?"

"Kazuya Mishima isn't a servant to anybody !" Kazuya shoot a laser from his third eye, one that Hades able to block with a barrier.

"Yes, yes you're strong I can see that." Hades responded sarcastically.

Hades then used telekinesis to pin Kazuya down. "However this time you're in a presence of a deity, your devil powers are minuscule compare to mine, but lucky for you im not here to fight, I'm here to make you an offer."

"Uugh...what are you saying ?" Kazuya looked skeptical.

"Kazuya Mishima, you're a powerful man indeed, but I know what you have now isn't enough, you wished for more power, and I'm here to give you such opportunity." Said Hades.

Kazuya hearing this, decided to calm down and listen, Hades no longer pin him down with his power.

"We have enemies that gets in our way, and we need you to defeat them, I assured you they're a very strong fighter." Said Hades.

"Strong huh ? Is Ryu is included as your enemy ?" Asked Kazuya.

"He is." Confirmed Hades.

"Alright, since you're a god you must know this, I was able to sense a powerful object, and at that same place I saw Ryu there, is that a coincidence ?" Asked Kazuya.

"You must be referring to Chaos Emeralds, they are object of great power, just one of them in your possession reality is already at the palm of your hands, but not only that, I encourage you to get to know your allies, many came from other worlds, they have the technology or magic that doesn't exist on Earth, that should be enough to add more power for you right ?" Hades tempted Kazuya with promises of unknown power.

Realizing the benefits he's going to have, Kazuya smirked and agreed to Hades's offer. "Fine, I'm in."

"Excellent, but before I send you back." Hades bestow the black plate to Kazuya. "Now you're officially one of us, welcome to Neo Subspace Army.

And with that Hades teleported Kazuya back to his office.

Once Kazuya gone Medusa appear to Hades. "Seriously Hades ? Even you can see the darkness in him, I wont be surprised if he were trying to accumulate more power enough to even defeat us."

"But he won't, because I already come up with a plan in mind." Replied Hades confidently.

"Fine, but should something goes wrong it's on you, now about Dharkon's seal ?" Asked Medusa.

"You could think of Dharkon as Galeem other half, the seal holding Galeem is the same one holding Dharkon, so once Galeem is freed, Dharkon will be free as well, however Dharkon's power are equal to Galeem, if we want to shift things to our favor, we need to empower Dharkon, give him enough power to defeat Galeem, and I know a way to do that." Explained Hades.

"And you're using Mishima for that ?" Asked Medusa.

"Yes, his darkness should be sufficient, however we could always get more from the Realm of Darkness." Said Hades.

"Even that world ? You really are a madman, but I don't see why we can't get the power of darkness to ourself ?" Suggested Medusa.

"Of course we can, but we might arouse suspicion if we just barge in, now then I believe there's someone else we can recruit to our cause, but I may have to visit a certain planet Lifestream." Hades seems to have someone else to recruit in mind.

Medusa knows who Hades talk about as she facepalming herself. "Hades, you seriously going to drag that other madman to join us ?"

"Why not ? After all I know a way to get him under our thumb." Once again Hades replied confidently.

"Whatever, but if he start turning on us you're the one to blame." Medusa teleported away.

Mintendo House

Min Min is currently cleaning the table. "All done...ever since Ken Masters came by those thugs stop coming here, well at least things will be peaceful from now on."

Min Min's phone suddenly rings as she grabbed it and answer the call. "Hello ?"

"Hi Min, it's me Ribbon Girl, I hope you didn't forget my concert later." Talking to Min Min is Ribbon Girl, another participant in the ARMS tournament, Min Min and Ribbbin Girl met each other there, and also met the rest of the participants as well, outside of tournaments she's also a well known pop singer, and currently on tour in China.

"Yes Ribbon I remember, I already bought tickets." Answered Min Min. "Looks like your efforts of badgering me has paid off."

"Hahaha sorry about that, well I will see you soon then, oh and please come to the backstage after the concert, i already told the staff to allow someone named Min Min to enter. Okay then see you at the concert." Ribbon Girl ended the call.

"Was that your friend Min ? The singer who's having a concert here ?" Asked Min Min's mother.

"I wouldn't call her a friend, but..." Min Min doesnt seem to like Ribbon Girl much.

"You talk about this before, you shouldn't be jealous of other people successes you know, here why don't you take the rest of the day off and you can go to that concert, we and the rest of the staff got this." Offered Min Min's mother.

"Okay Mom, I'll go get ready." Min Min left the restaurant and return to her room to get changed.

Concert Hall

Min Min arrived at the concert hall, she shows her ticket and got in.

Soon the show finally started as Ribbon Girl is finally on stage, she begin singing and the crowd goes wild.

("Have to admit she's good, I guess I can see why she's very successful.") Min Min like it or not acknowledges Ribbon Girl talent.

After a few hours the concert is finally over and the guests leaving the building one by one.

Min Min however still remain inside as she wants to congratulate Ribbon Girl for her successful performance.

Backstage

As Ribbon Girl already informed the staff beforehand Min Min is allowed to enter the backstage, she is shown the direction to Ribbon Girl dressing room.

Dressing Room

Min Min entered the room to find it empty.

"She's not here ? I guess I'll wait then." Min Min take a seat as she looked around the room, there's so many gifts from her fans such as flower bouquet. "She sure is adored by a lot of people."

Soon after the door opened as Ribbon Girl entered the room. "Sorry to keep you waiting, I was in the bathroom."

"It's okay I didn't wait long." Assured Min Min.

Ribbon Girl take a seat and ask Min Min about the concert. "So how is my performance ? Is it your first time attending my concerts ?"

"Yeah...and I must admit that you were incredible on stage, I can see why you're such an international sensation." Min Min admitted.

"Thanks, guess you'll be my new fan ?" Teased Min Min.

"Let's not get ahead ourself, I'm still not yet done with ARMS tournament, and I know you're not done yet either." Replied Min Min.

"You got me, and here i was hoping my new fan doesn't want to fight her star." Joked Ribbon Girl as the two girls laugh.

Min Min then noticed that Ribbon Girl is wearing a necklace, with a purple heart shaped gemstone in the middle. "That necklace..."

"Oh this ? Thanks for noticing, it was at the box over there." Ribbon Girl pointed at the box at her drawer. "A fan give this to me, isn't it beautiful ?"

"Yeah it really is." Min Min agreed.

"Oh that reminds me there's something I want to show you, come with me." Ribbon Girl got up and proceed to leave the dressing room, Min Min not knowing what Ribbon Girl have in mind decided to follow her.

Alley.

Ribbon Girl lead Min Min to an alley, which makes Min Min feeling suspicious. "Why are we here ?" And at that moment Min Min is jumped by thugs, and not just thugs either, but Shadaloo remnants themselves.

"Ribbon Girl ! What's the meaning of this !" Min Min Shouted in anger.

"All she did was just obeying my instructions." A man come out from the shadows. "My name is F.A.N.G, used to be the second in command of Shadaloo."

"Shadaloo ? That shady organization ?" Snarked Min Min.

"I prefer the term visionary, this world suppose to belong to Lord Bison and yet, that dream is dashed, of course we won't let that deter us, because turns out there's a way to made that dream come true."

"Nice story, and what do you want from me ? I don't see how I'm going to play a role in your schemes."

"Ah but we have use for you for now, the Beanstar piece that you own." Remarked F.A.N.G.

"The Beanstar ? Guess what I don't have it anymore, so you're just wasting your time !" Replied Min Min.

"I certainly am not, and I know you don't have it anymore, which is why I'm going to use you as a hostage and have those people deliver the Beanstar to me." Explained F.A.N.G. "Now you better cooperate or your restaurant is doomed."

Min Min looked at Ribbon Girl and raged at her. "Ribbon Girl ! Why are you doing this !? Why siding with Shadaloo of all people !"

"Don't bother getting through to her, she's on our side now and there's nothing you can do to change her mind." F.A.N.G makes it sounds like Ribbon Girl I on their side.

Min Min, not bringing her usual combat equipment have no means of fighting back, and the fact that her restaurant is under threat further limits her option, she relent and agreed to F.A.N.G's demand. "Okay, i relent, just please leave my restaurant alone."

F.A.N.G makes a smug smile as he grab his black plate to contact the heroes.

Smash Mansion

"We're back !" Shouted Green as she steps inside the mansion.

"Welcome back Green." Blue greeted her back.

"I hope you two don't miss me too much." Teased Green.

"I wish I could say that, but Blue was panicking the whole time." Red is messing with Blue.

"I am not ! Stop making stuff up Red ! I don't have to worry because i know you're capable Green, thats why i'm not worried." Blue fuming towards Red.

"Still, first Bionis, and now Earth, you sure went places." Said Red.

"Well this is a once in a lifetime opportunity so, I'm going to make the most of it !" Exclaimed Green.

"So how's your mission ?" Asked Red.

"A complete success." Ken showed the Beanstar Piece to Red and Blue.

"We had to deal with a bunch of thugs, but I guess they're no match for a world renowned martial artist." Stated Lucas.

"Yep, easy mission, oh but get this, we encountered a girl who can extend her arms...you know like a Hitmonlee except with arms rather than legs." Said Green.

"It's the ARMS fenomena, no one knows how it happens, but some people wake up one day and able to extend their limbs, research is still being done to study it." Explained Ken.

"Hello we're a-back !" Shouted Mario as he and his friends returned.

"Welcome back Mario, how's your visit ?" Asked Toon Link.

"Not so a-good, turns out we need thorough planning to get a-back our kingdom." Answered Mario.

"On the bright side we have a new friend with us, come on introduce yourself." Paper Peach call out to Twink as the Star Spirit fly from Paper Peach's back.

"Hi I'm Twink, nice to meet you." Twink introduce himself.

"Wow a talking star !" The heroes gather to take a look at Twink.

"Uuh, hello, thank you for having me, I lost most of my powers, but when I get it back I promise to grant your wishes." Said Twink.

"You can grant wishes !" Exclaimed Blue. "And like a star too, you're just like Jirachi !"

"Jirachi is a pokemon who can grant wishes as well." Explained Red.

"Wait if that's true, won't our enemies be looking for that pokemon as well ?" Asked Daisy.

"I wouldn't worry too much, Jirachi is what we call a mythical pokemon, they're extremely rare and very hard to find, Jirachi only appears once in 1000 years, and where Jirachi is in the meantime ? Nobody knows, it will appear when it decide to show itself." Explained Red.

"That's good to hear, so I guess we can assume they won't be able to find this pokemon anytime soon ?" Asked Peach.

"Hopefully not." Replied Red.

Ganondorf now returned and as the heroes noticed he came back alone.

"Ganondorf, you're back alone ? where are Link and Zelda ?" Asked Lucas.

"I'll tell you at the meeting later, and also I'm not back alone, come out don't be shy." Ganondorf look over his shoulder, and Starfy popped out from Ganondorf's back.

"Hello I'm Starfy." Starfy introduced himself.

"Hey there's another star like creature !" Exclaimed Green as Twink and Starfy looked at each other.

"Are you a Star Spirit too ?" Asked Twink.

"No i don't think I am, although I am a prince from Pufftop Kingdom." Answered Starfy.

"Starfy has his kingdom under attack by Neo Subspace Army, and so we offered him to join us, anyway Starfy can talk during meeting, he'll be staying in my room, and I need to show him the way." Ganondorf left with Starfy.

"That's right, Twink you can stay in my room." Offered Paper Peach. "Come I'll show you the way."

"Is Prof. E. Gadd not with you ?" Asked Ken.

"No, he decided to a-stay with the Toads, monitoring Mushroom Kingdom a-situations." Answered Luigi.

"I wonder if we will met more new people ?" Asked Red.

"Well I know Fiora is likely to bring a new friend here." Shulk entered the foyer.

"So this is the mansion ? I got to say this is perfect for someone of my caliber." Said Mythra as Fiora's group return to the mansion.

"Shulk ! I'm back !" Fiora waved her hand as she and Shulk hugged.

"Welcome back Fiora." The two, with blushing faces then let go of each other as the others snickered at them.

"Shulk !" Rex greeted the Hom.

"Good to see you again Rex, let me welcome you to the Smash Mansion." Shulk welcomes Rex to the mansion.

"Strange..." Pyra is looking around.

"Something wrong Pyra ?" Asked Fiora.

"This place...I don't sense any ether and yet I'm just fine, what about you Mythra ?" Asked Pyra.

"Now that you mentioned it, yeah I'm feeling fine as well." Agreed Mythra.

"In this world we don't suffer from those kind of limitations." Answered Shulk. "I want to introduce you to everyone, but first let's take a tour of the mansion." Shulk give Fiora, Rex, Pyra and Mythra a tour of the mansion."

"Red check it out, those girls Pyra and Mythra." Blue actually mesmerized by Pyra and Mythra.

"Yeah Blue, they're gorgeous." Red agreed with Blue.

"Ahem you two already have me !" Green being jealous.

"Hahah, well Green if they're still clueless, then why don't I show you a good time instead." Erik flirted with Green.

"Hmm I might take you up on that." Replied Green.

"C'mon Green were just messing around no need to get upset." Blue and Red comforted Green.

Next is Ike's group that returned, and everyone looks like in a bad mood, to the point the others too scared to talk to them.

However Erik called out to Sylvando. "Hey Sylv, I guess things aren't going well on your mission ?"

"Sadly no, a lot of things happen, but I'm sure everyone would calm down later." Assured Sylvando.

Ness stared at Steve and Alex. "So uh...are these two natives from the world you went to ?"

"Oh yes, let me introduce you, this is Steve and Alex, and yes we meet them in their world." Sylv introduce Steve and Alex to the heroes.

"Nice to meet you, what a great place you got." Said Alex.

"I'll say, Alex we need to build a huge mansion once we get back." Steve is awed looking at the mansion.

"You know it, one can't have too many homes." Agreed Alex.

Donkey Kong's team is now back. "We're back." Said DK with an unenthusiastic tone.

"Guess the mission don't go well for you too ?" Asked Erik.

"I wouldn't say it's not going well, it's just somehow the enemy get to the emerald before we did." Explained Donkey Kong.

Diddy then stared at Steve and Alex. "Uhh...hi ?"

"Hi." Greeted Steve and Alex.

Diddy startled by their reply. "Oh... they're alive.."

"I guess almost everyone is bringing new people here from their missions." Remarked Red.

"Steve, Alex, we can introduce you to the others later during our meeting, for now let's find you and empty room to stay in." Steve and Alex follow Ike as he's looking for an empty room.

"We're back !" Cpt. Falcon's team have return from their mission. "The Mani Mani statue is destroyed, now Smashville is saved."

"Wait ! Did you say Mani Mani statue !?" Ness heard what Yuu said and rushed to him.

"Yeah, oh right you would be more familiar to it." Yuu remembered. "We can talk during our meeting, now it's our relaxing time."

And now Kirby's team have returned. "Hi everyone we're back !" Exclaimed Kirby.

"Welcome back Kirby, so you're finished with your situations back home ?" Asked Ken.

"Yeah, turns out Dedede got brainwashed again." Snarked Meta Knight.

"Will you let it go ! What matters is things end up well." Dedede getting annoyed being reminded being brainwashed.

"Well I'm hungry, off to the dining room for me." Kirby then walked to the dining room.

"At any rate the Beast Pack could prove a great ally." Said Meta Knight.

"Beast Pack ?" Asked Red.

"We'll tell you everything later." MK and Dedede left the foyer.

Hendrik's team now back. "We're back." Said Hendrik in disappointed tone.

"Sadly our mission failed." Said Sully.

"Now now, it's not over yet." Stahl cheered Sully up.

"Green can I stay in your room tonight ?" Asked Kjelle. "I think my parents are going to be...noisy tonight."

"Sure I would like some company, lucky for you I'm not busy with Red and Blue tonight." Teased Green.

"And since when we're ever 'busy' with you at night ?" Snarked Red.

"Let a girl have her fantasies !" Fumed Green.

"And they say only men can be the perverted ones, right Rab, Hendrik." Teased Erik.

"We don't know what you mean lad...now let's get moving, we're blocking the way." Rab and Hendrik feigning ignorance as they left the foyer in embarrassment.

"And this is the mansion." Jade's voice can be heard outside.

"Holy...this place is huge !" Ryuji Shouted from outside.

"That's Jade, guess now Ryu is back." Said Ken as Jade's team entered the mansion, and unlike before the heroes are surprised at the number of people they bring inside.

"Hey Ken I'm back." Greeted Ryu.

"Uuhh...Ryu who did you bring back to the mansion ?" Ken pointing at the Phantom Thieves.

"Oh them ? They're the Phantom Thieves." Answered Ryu.

"Phantom Thief !?" Everyone said in unison.

"Wait..so the Phantom Thief in Japan ! They're real !" Exclaimed Ken.

"I think you should introduce yourself, and don't worry no one here is going to arrest you." Said Jade.

"Well..okay then...what the.." As Ren about to introduce himself his Thief attire is gone and reverted to his civilian form.

"Joker you're back !" Exclaimed Makoto.

"It seems I am.." Ren tried to willingly transform again and it happen. "Wow, it seems we can transform here at will."

Ren then introduce himself. "Anyway my name is Ren Amamiya, as you can see me and my friends here are the Phantom Thief."

"Ken Masters, I've heard about you from the news, but didn't think the Phantom Thief are actually real." Ken introduced himself.

"Ken Masters ? I've heard of you, you're the CEO of Masters Foundation are you not ? And also a world renowned martial artist, oh I'm Makoto." Makoto detransform and introduced herself.

Knowing they're in safe place the Phantom Thief detransform themselves, while Morgana taking his cat form.

"Make way make way ! Two dark mages coming through !" Henry and Tharja entered the mansion with the trophified Algol, levitate by using magic.

"Mother, Father welcome back, and that is.." Noire looked at the trophified Algol.

"This is Algol, he belongs to the Grimleal, and now we're going to torture him for information." Remarked Henry cheerfully.

"So we're kinda busy, now we need to go to the Monster Sanctuary quickly." Henry and Tharja quickly make their way to the sanctuary.

"Did they just say torture !" Exclaimed Ryuji.

"Eheheh.. we have several not so heroic individuals here." Jade laugh sheepishly.

"And so Slippy this is where we planned our operations and stuff." Falco showed Slippy the mansion.

"Wow now I feel like royalty living here." Slippy awed by the mansion.

"Hey Falco, Fox not with you ?" Asked Green.

"He's parking the Great Fox at the underground garage."

"Wow there really are talking animals here." Ann whispers to Haru.

"A bug ! No ! Get it off me !" Lucina screams from the outside running and screaming as she crashes at Ryuji.

"Oww...are you okay ? I'm so sorry for that." Lucina got up as she offered her hand to Ryuji.

"Aah...I...I'm fine !" Ryuji quickly stand up by himself.

"I never see you before ? You just got here ?" Asked Lucina.

"Y-yeah, I'm Ryuji Sakamoto nice to meet you !" Ryuji introduce himself.

"I'm Lucina, nice to meet you too." Smiled Lucina.

"So this is the mansion you talk about ? I'm starting to feel out of place here." Remarked Terry.

"You'll get used to it, many of us here aren't rich." Stated Hal.

"This place is big as the monastery itself." Byleth looking at the mansion.

"Welcome to the Smash Mansion ! May not as big as Askr castle, but I hope you enjoy it." Said Owain.

"I hope so, at the very least it's nice to see familiar face outside Fodlan again." Replied Byleth.

"I want to take you to see Mar-Mar, I wonder if he's done with his mission ?" Pondered Tiki.

"Well you can introduce yourself at the meeting later so why don't we go see Marth and the others." Owain grabbed Byleth arm and dragged him inside.

And last Sora and Bayonetta return to the mansion.

"Sora ? Bayonetta? Where have you been ?" Asked Red.

"Who's this ?" Asked Green.

"Right, Green this is Sora, he arrived here when everyone else still on their missions." Red introduce Sora to Green.

"Hi I'm Sora, it's nice to meet you all." Said Sora.

"Well we're going to have meeting later so you can introduce yourself to everyone there." Suggested Red.

Before the meeting everyone is currently having an R&R at the moment.


"It's good to have you here Fiora, who knows maybe after all this Master Hand want to invite you here...although that means we might going to have to fight each other." Shulk is feeling conflicted.

"C'mon Shulk you know a few fights won't break us apart especially after everything we been through." Assured Fiora.

"Yeah you're right, and still thanks for trusting me with Melia, in the end like i said nothing is going on between me and her."

"I know, but every girl would worried about this kind of stuff, or what if the same thing happen to me and Reyn ?"

"Yeah...I just don't see that happening." Replied Shulk sheepishly.

"You're right, I need a better example than Reyn." The two share a small laugh.

"Hey you guys, mind if we join in ?" Rex arrived with just blades.

"Not at all, come sit with us there's enough seats here." Rex take a seat along with Pyra and Mythra.

"Rex, sorry to get you involved in this." Fiora apologized.

"It's fine Fiora, if Alrest is in danger we're the ones who can stop it." Boasted Rex.

"So how you like your rooms ?" Asked Shulk.

"It looks amazing, now this is a room worthy of someone my caliber." Bragged Mythra.

"Well I for one like it too, even if the room a bit too fancy for me." Said Pyra.

"Better get used to it Pyra, this is what aegises like us deserve, just like when I used to be Addam's blade..sorry Rex, just know that I do enjoy being with you, luxury or not." Mythra quickly shut herself.

"Yes Mythra I know." Replied Rex.

"Seeing you putting efforts to your job is more than enough." Assured Mythra.

"Guess Rex here is maturing." Teased Shulk.

"Be sure to invite us to the wedding." Teased Fiora.

("Wedding !?") Both Pyra and Mythra have the same thoughts.

"T-that won't happen for few more years !" Rex Shouted in embarrassment, his face is as red as a tomato.


"Hey you guys !" Donbe and Hikari approached the pokemon trainers. "Look what I got." Donbe pull out a pokeball.

"Hey Donbe, so I see you caught Hattrene." Blue looked at the pokeball. "Congrats."

"Thanks, okay Hattrene come on out." Donbe press the button and sent out Hattrene.

"Even without the Chaos Emerald this pokemon prove a tough adversary." Said Hikari.

"Well it is a final stage evolution pokemon, so Donbe you want to train Hattrene ?" Asked Green.

"Yes ! With Hattrene on my side we will be unbeatable !" Exclaimed Donbe.

"I don't know about this, I think its too early for you to train a pokemon like Hattrene." Red is feeling skeptical.

"But Hattrene acknowledge my strength, isn't that enough ?" Asked Donbe.

"Well true, but there's more to Pokemon training than just strength, if you insist on partnering with Hattrene, then the least we could do is mentor you." Said Green.

"Thank you, and well you three are the experts at this so I'll follow your instructions." Donbe eager to learn.

"Haha, never seen Donbe so eager to learn." Hikari let out a small laugh.

"What about you Hikari, we know you already a powerful supernatural being, but why don't you try pokemon training too ?" Offered Green.

"Well i suppose it is a chance to try new things, but I just don't know anything about pokemon." Hikari feeling concerned.

"Well then here you can borrow my pokedex, see if there's a pokemon that caught your interest, so far I have data of pokemon from Kanto to Paldea, there's a thousand you can choose from." Blue hand over his pokedex to Hikari.

"Thanks, I'll see if there's a pokemon that interests me." Hikari thanked Blue as she take his pokdex to her room.

("Hmm...maybe that can wait.") Lucario walked away as it want to tell the trainers about something.


"Sorry we're unable to take you to Earth Owain." Lucina apologized.

"Yeah, that's fine I'm not upset about it anymore, and hey I got Byleth to come with us, so I know im contributing."

"He offered to let us use the monastery ? that would be helpful, and also a chance to see Fodlan." Remarked Cynthia.

"Oh by the way Lucina, you said you record Mac's driving test right ? Can I see it ?" Asked Owain.

"Sure here you go." Lucina give her golden plate to Owain as he look at the recording.

"This doesn't look to hard." Said Owain.

"You still need to be careful though, apparently crashing to another vehicle isn't an uncommon problem on Earth." Warmed Lucina.

"Which is why air travel are much more preferable, you don't have to worry about traffic or something like that." Said Gerome.

"We still don't have many Pegasus and Wyverns with us, and ground travel still more available than air travel." Retorted Lucina.

"Say sis, are you interested in driving ?" Asked Cynthia.

"Well I won't deny that, I think its very convenient way to travel." Answered Lucina. "Oh and there's this guy driving a motorcycle and he does look cool in it."

Hearing this Gerome trying not to be obvious in changing his tune. "Ahem...well i suppose that makes sense, this is a chance to try new things."


"So...I guess not all of us succeed huh ?" Asked Erik.

"Unfortunately, I failed in my mission." Said Hendrik.

"Me too, and not only that, the enemy forcing Ike to fight his family, I can't bear to imagine the same thing happen to me force to fight all of you, and even papi." Lament Sylvando.

"Yeah I think i get it, when Gloomnivore tormenting that suit of armor, turns out that was my father." Said Erven.

"Aye lad, that was unfortunate indeed, we may not know it at first, but we still have to fight your dad, even if that fight set him free in the end." Said Rab.

"Hold on, do you think the enemy will bring King Irwin and Queen Eleonor like they did to our companions fallen friends and families ?" Realized Jade.

"If they did then..."

"If they did ! Then we will save my parents, and any of our loved ones, all of us promise to rescue our friends and families from the enemy clutches like we did to Cpt. Falcon." Declared Erven.

Hearing this the others nodded in agreement.


Stahl & Sully's Room

Stahl and Sully returned to their room and as Sully closed the door she quickly hugged her husband and kissed him aggressively, which Stahl responded in kind.

Stahl and Sully briefly let go of each other as they take off their armor and put in on the ground, Stahl push Sully to the bed as the couple begin to aggressively kiss more.

Sully take a sitting position and remove her shirt, completely exposing herself. "You're not making me wait aren't you ?"

Responding to this Stahl also remove his clothes. Which Sully admires Stahl muscular body.

Stahl caresses Sully's body as he pecked her in the neck, and moving down to her breast, and keep going down until he reached her private part and begin licking it.

"Stahl, hurry put it in, we don't have much time." Begged Sully.

Hearing this Stahl take off his pants, exposing Sully to Stahl's manhood. "Alright I'm putting it in."

Stahl did exactly that and thrusting his hips over and over, Sully feeling ecstatic moans from the pleasure.

Stahl kissed Sully again to prevent making too much noise as he keep going and going and going.

"Sully it's about to come out." Warn Stahl.

"Yeah, so ? Let it out inside of me." Begged Sully.

Stahl did and shoot his oats to Sully. "That was amazing, when the last time we did that ?" Stahl remove his manhood from Sully.

"I suppose it has been more then half a year, raising a child can take a lot of your time." Answered Sully.

"The child that you and I made together." Teased Stahl, which makes Sully blush. "Still its cute that you're feeling jealous earlier."

"And what's that suppose to mean ? It's very natural I did ! Anyway Stahl I'm still not fully satisfied yet, let's go again." Demanded Sully

"Already ?" Stahl is surprised.

"Yes, or is that all the stamina you got ?" Sully provoking Stahl.

Hearing this Stahl pin Sully to the bed again. "Is that a challenge ? You do remember that I'm stronger than I look."

"Well then, show me that beast side of yours not just in battlefield, but also in bed." Sully provoked Stahl further.

"Alright you ask for it, I'm going to devour you like the beast I am." And so Stahl and Sully begin their second round.


"I see, so that's your story, of course I'll be happy to share the star bits." Rosalina after hearing Twink's story.

"Thank you, I believe eating it will restore my powers faster." Said Twink.

Rosalina give Twink all the Star Bits she has, Twink was able to eat some of them, but not all of it.


"Man this place sure has everything !" Terry liking what the mansion has to offer so far. "I sure wish we have a basketball court."

"Yeah Master Hand doesn't really build that, many of us came from different world and so basketball is an unknown sport to most of everyone." Explained Chelsea.

"All the more reason to build it, so we can share the joy to our otherworldly friends." Exclaimed Terry.

"Sharing our culture to our otherworldly friends huh ?" Pondered Chelsea.

"Didn't think it would go that deep, but basically yeah, and they can do the same to us too, what do you think ?" Asked Terry.

"Well I believe its a great idea." Chelsea agreed with Terry.

"Hey Terry, didn't expect to see you here of all places." Ken greeted Terry.

"Ken Masters, to think we run to each other again." Replied Terry.

"Heard you join the KOF again, sorry you didn't win." Said Ken.

"It's not so bad, there's always next time." Terry optimistically replied.

"So, how's Robert ?" Asked Ken.

"We sometimes meet at our usual cafe, but you may want to ask Ryo about it, he's much closer to the Kyokugen family than I am." Said Terry.

"Ah right, I'll be sure to give them a visit sometimes."


"Hey Mewtwo, thanks foe the help earlier." Said Mac.

("We are on the same side, it makes sense to help each other.") Replied Mewtwo.

"Friends beyond our world huh Mac ? I like the sound of that." Doc tapped Mac shoulder.

"Well once again thanks, things would be difficult without your help, if anything I'd like to know more about you Mewtwo."

"So am I." Doc also curious.

("Trust me my life is anything but pleasant, you don't want to hear a whole life full of hatred, solitude, and many kinds of negativity.") Warned Mewtwo.

"Like I said we're friends, my past isn't exactly pleasant either, I can tell you mine first if you'd like." Said Mac.

("Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you, and I have another way to show you my life.") Mewtwo used its psychic power to shows vision of the past to Mac and Doc Louis, showing the moment Mewtwo was born to this very day.

"Mewtwo...that was." Mac is speechless.

("The so called ultimate lifeform can be a monster, well that's how it happen to me the moment I was born to this world.") Mewtwo looked at Mac as he and Doc shed a tear.

"You must've went through so much, I really can't imagine what's it like experiencing what you've been through."

("Mac and Doc cried for me, at first I thought I was nothing but an abomination that should never exist, but I realize I can use my power to do good and be free...then...") Mewtwo thought to itself.


"What ! You a-encountered Sarissa and Katsini !" Wario is shocked as Daisy and Peach tell him this.

"So you really didn't know about their involvement either ?" Asked Peach.

"No, we a-pretty much lost contact after the failed attempt to takeover the forest." Explained Wario.

"Well they at least work for Tatanga now, or that's what I hear them say." Said Peach.

"Hmm..if Katsini and Sarissa is with the enemy then it would a-make sense the others are a-too." Wario Pondered to himself.

"Well do you remember what they're capable of ?" Asked Peach.

"Oh yeah a-sure let me tell a you what the others can a-do, for the right price." Wario explained to Peach and Daisy what his former minions abilities are, with a price of course.


Just as promised Roy is practicing magic with Bayonetta. Despite the short time Roy able to progress a little as he's able to conjure a small fireball.

"I did it !" Roy look excited.

"You sure are a quick learner." Said Bayonetta.

"Thanks ! If I keep at it, I may be able to create a stream of fire like Charizard !" Exclaimed Roy.

"That's...not exactly the right comparison." Remarked Bayonetta. "Charizard already born with power over fire in the first place."

And just then they saw Ike passing by and Roy call out to him. "Hey Ike look ! I can create a fireball !"

"That is..." Ike looked impressed by what Roy showed him. "I wonder if I can learn magic as well ?"

"Even you Ike ?" Asked Bayonetta.

"When we faced my family, they somehow possesses elemental powers they never shown before, and I'm not gonna lie, it puts me in disadvantage." Ike looked troubled. "So if they can do it then I wonder if I can do it too ?"

"Let's see." Bayonetta used her magic to gauge Ike potential. "Ike, I think there's a possibility for you to wield such power yourself."

"R-really ?" Ike is surprised by this revelation.

"Yes, however something is blocking you and Roy's potential, training can take a lot of time, this power needs to be unlocked from external sources if you want to able to use it immediately." Stated Bayonetta.

"I get what you're saying, but..." Roy seems hesitant.

"Of course once the power is unlocked you two will still need to undergo training to fully master your powers." Said Bayonetta.

"But how do we have our potentials unlocked ?" Asked Ike.

"I suggest you ask Palutena for that, not sure there's a spell in the Umbran Arts to unlock hidden powers." Answered Bayonetta.

Hearing this Roy and Ike decided to go to the mansion chapel.

"I think this is for the best, this should make the training faster, rather than start from zero." Pondered Bayonetta.

Chapel

"So we're just gonna pray for Palutena to speak to us ?" Asked Roy.

"Well we didn't have time to look for Pit so, that's why we came straight here." Said Ike.

Soon after Palutena appeared in the chapel. "Roy, Ike I hear your concerns."

"Yes, when I work on my mission, I encounter my families, and they all possess powers they never shown they have before, and I admit it putting me in disadvantage." Ike looked down.

"I wonder if the same thing will happen to me should I encounter a familiar faces." Pondered Roy.

"I see, well I won't be surprised if Hades or any enemy deities unlocking or awaken the power dormant within them, this how they get their powers in the first place."

"Can you do the same to us ? I believe we can have more options than just using our swords." Stated Ike.

"I can...usually I need to test mortals if they deserve this powers or not, but I don't need to do that this time, I know your characters and I believe you won't abuse or get drunk on power." Palutena put her trust in Roy and Ike.

"Thank you Palutena, I promise Ike and I will not stray from our path, you have our word." Roy made a promise to Palutena with Ike agreeing with Roy.

"Very well then, let us begin." Palutena point her staff at Roy and Ike. "Dormant power slumbering, rise and awaken !"

Roy and Ike felt a surge of energy within them. "Wow I can feel it !"

"Roy, you are bestowed the power of fire, and Ike you are bestowed the power of Earth, use it wisely." Palutena disappears as she return to her domain.

Roy wanting to try our his newfound power, he's now able to create a real fireball in his palm. "It's bigger than what I conjure before !"

"Power of Earth huh ?" Ike able to generate a rock in his palm.

"Well Ike, better start training ?" Asked Roy.

"Sure, but do you. Think we need a mentor ? Seems dangerous to just do this without an expert."

"True, I wonder if there anyone we can ask ?" Roy and Ike decided to look around the mansion hoping to find a teacher.


Dining Hall

The Phantom Thieves, but it's just Yusuke who is grabbing food in the dining room, as he return to the table he and the others stare in disbelief as they all saw Kirby devouring foods like a vacuum cleaner.

"Hmm...oh hello there, sorry for not noticing, I was busy eating, my names Kirby." Kirby introduce himself to the Phantom Thieves.

"Uuhh...hello, I'm Ren Amamiya, and these are my friends." Ren introduced himself and the rest if the Phantom Thief to Kirby.

"So uh...Kirby, if you don't mind me asking, what are you ?" Asked Makoto.

"Hmm...I suppose from your view I'm an alien." Answered Kirby.

"Wow I never imagine an alien to be so cute, Kirby can you come here ?" Ann ask Kirby to come to her as the puffball did so.

Ann petting Kirby on the head and tried hugging him. "You're really fluffy to touch."

"L-lady Ann..." Morgana look dejected.

"You got yourself a very tough competition it seems." Snickered Ryuji.

"Can it ! I need to teach this guy what a boundary is !" Morgana walked over to Kirby. "Ahem Kirby was it ?"

"Yes ? You're Morgana right ?" Asked Kirby.

"Yes I am, and you can't be too chummy to a Phantom Thief, we have rules and as an elite group we have to be careful about who we let in to our circle." Morgana spell out the ground rules.

"Was there really such a rule ?" Haru whispered to Makoto.

"No, I think this is just Morgana being jealous." Replied Makoto.

"Stop it Morgana, I dont remember there's such a rule, you're not being like this when we arrive at the Halidom !" Ann scolding Morgana.

"L-lady Ann ! I was just being cautious ! I mean you heard that not everyone here is heroic." Defended Morgana.

"Well i believe Kirby is nothing like that." Ann continue hugging Kirby as Morgana sighed in defeat.

"So this is supposed to be a place where heroes gather huh ? Don't you think it's awesome !" Exclaimed Ryuji.

"It does fulfill those childhood fantasies." Replied Ren.

"That said it seems Ryuji has his eyes fixated on one hero, Lucina was it her name ?" Teased Ann.

"The girl with blue hair right ? I can see why though she seems to radiate a majestic aura despite the less graceful encounter." Remarked Yusuke. "An inspiration just come ! I must ask her to be my model !"

"Hmm...you don't think she has a boyfriend do you ?" Pondered Ren.

"Huh ? What are you asking that ? Are you going to make a move on her !? Hey Ren you met a lot of girls already ! Save some for us !" Complained Ryuji.

"Do you like Lucina ?" Asked Kirby.

"Yeah, Ryuji do you ?" Futaba join in to torment Ryuji with a sninister smirk.

"I uhh well..." Ryuji started speaking with gibberish as the other Phantom Thieves lightly laughed at his misfortune.

"Umm...Kirby what do you know about Lucina ? I mean you know her already right ?" Asked Ryuji.

"For starters she is a princess from a kingdom called Ylisse." Answered Kirby which surprised everyone.

"A princess ! As in a king's daughter princess !" Exclaimed Ann.

"Yes, did you see a blue haired man entering the mansion near Lucina ? That's her father King Chrom." Answered Kirby.

"Seriously ! I saw the man but he look so young, he doesn't look like a father of a teenage girl." Said Makoto.

"Yeah..." Kirby just agreed and not elaborate, knowing the story is complicated.

"A rich girl like Haru is one thing, but an actual princess !?" Ann still at disbelief.

"Why are you surprised ? Aren't there anymore princess in your world ?" Asked Kirby.

"Well, it's not that, it's just most countries on Earth no longer a monarchy so princesses are a rarity nowadays." Explained Makoto.

"Hmm...so it's true what everyone from Earth said." Kirby confirm what the other earthlings said.

"Well looks like Ryuji meet a girl that's way out of his league then." Teased Ann.

"For real, an actual princess, with Ryuji it's impossible to imagine." Added Yusuke.

"Can you guys stop it...then again now that I know Lucina a princess that may be impossible for me now." Ryuji looked dejected.

"Ryuji dilemma aside, I do hope you're not planning on hitting on Lucina Ren ?" Makoto give Ren a deadpan stare.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a player you know." Replied Ren.

Makoto don't believe Ren as she still stare at him with disbelief.


After 1 hour has passed the PA system is activated. "Attention everyone please head to the conference room, I repeat please head to the conference room."

"So we're going ?" Asked Futaba.

"It is the only way to know what actually going on so we have to." Makoto believe that the Phantom Thief should attend the meeting with Ren agreeing.

Red, in the Sanctuary heard the PA system. "So the meeting started, okay Mesprit like we practice, should we start talking important things manipulate their minds, and make them be as ambiguous as possible." Red instructed Mesprit.

And with that everyone decided to head to the conference room, for the newcomers those who don't know where the room is they just follow the veterans.

Conference Room

One by one the room is filled, although with more people inside the mansion, there aren't enough seats for everyone.

"We feel kinda...out of place." Ann whispered to Makoto.

"I couldn't agree more." Agreed Makoto.

"Okay, is everyone a-here ?" Asked Mario, as the door opened, Stahl, Sully, Tharja, and Henry entered the room.

"We're here, we're not too late right ?" Asked Stahl who's shirt is rather tattered.

"We just finished torturing Algol and did we gained a lot of information from him !" Exclaimed Henry.

"This world is fascinating, everytime he's killed he got turned into a trophy and we got to torture him over and over again." Tharja is as giddy as Henry.

"Sometimes you a-two are worse than our enemies, but anyway moving on now that everyone is a-here let's begin...oh wait before that it appears we have new a-people inside the mansion so everyone please introduce yourself first." Mario started the meeting.

"Sorry but if I may interject." Ganondorf raised his hand.

"What is it Ganondorf ?" Asked Mario.

"As you can see I came back here without Link and Zelda, the one from the future era, they won't be joining us for a while." Said. Ganondorf.

"What happened ?" Asked Mario.

"As embarrassing to admit it, it seems my incarnation has started to cause trouble in Hyrule again, Link and Zelda can't come with us until they deal with that Ganondorf." Answered Ganondorf.

"Are you sure we can't help them ?" Asked Mac.

"There's no need for that, just like their predecessors they will triumphant." Ganondorf have full faith in Link and Zelda.

"Wow, didn't think we hear that from you of all people." Snarked (TP)Link.

"Wait what's going on ? Incarnation ? And what do they mean by Link and Zelda, aren't they already here ? I'm confused." Whispered Ryuji.

"These are people from different worlds, so there may be things that impossible to happen in our world." Replied Makoto.

"I also have something to say, Corrin won't be attending the meeting, he's with his family for now." Shulk raised his hand.

"Okay, i'll keep Corrin up to a-date until hes a-back, Well then i also must say that E. Gadd will be assisting us from our world, he decided to return to monitor Mushroom Kingdom situation." Explained Mario. "Well now that's out of the way let's a-begin the introduction, Twink why don't you go first ?"

"Oh okay." Twink fly to the middle of the room. "Hello, my name is Twink, I'm a Star Spirit, and I came from the Paper World, I can grant wishes, but my power is diminished at the moment."

Next Ganondorf encouraged Starfy to do the same as he did that. "Hello my name is Starfy, I'm a prince from a kingdom called the Pufftop Kingdom."

"I guess I'm next." Fiora got up from her seat. "Hello I'm Fiora, I came from Bionis where Shulk also from, and I hope we can get along and work together." Fiora introduce herself.

"Hey ! You forgot to mention the part where you're Shulk's girlfriend !" Exclaimed Bowser.

Fiora and Shulk's face turned red as she quickly sit down and everyone laughed.

"Okay..moving on." Mario ended the laughter as he continues the introduction.

"I'm next ! My name is Rex, my world is called Alrest, a world of ocean where Titans made up the landmass, well it used to be like that, until the Architect fused the Titans together."

Pyra then got up from her seat. "Rex, I think most of them didn't understand what you're saying." Pyra then looked at the heroes. "Hello my name is Pyra, and I am Rex's Blade, well it's hard to explain in detail, but let's just say we're artificial living beings."

"And I am Mythra, one of the strongest Blades ever existed, you'll be surprised when you see what I can do in a battlefield."

"Okay Mythra enough with the bragging, sorry about her, she tends to act like this." Pyra apologized for Mythra's action.

"I guess I'm next." Ren stand up and introduce himself. "My name is Ren Amamiya, I came from Earth, specifically Japan and I'm what you call a Phantom Thief."

"The Phantom Thief from Japan ? They're actually real !?" Exclaimed Mac.

"We do, and how are we able to change people hearts, we're gifted with a power of Persona, and as what a Persona is...I think its best if I showed it to you...Arsene !" Joker able to manifest Arsene outside of Metaverse as almost everyone is shocked by what they see.

Ren then desummon Arsene as it's only for demonstration purposes.

"Well that was...quite the intro." Remarked Mario.

"Well then it's my turn." Makoto introduced herself. "I'm Makoto Niijima, I'm also from Japan and all of us here made up the Phantom Thieves, I won't show my Persona just yet, but mine is specialize in Nuclear attacks, that is all for now."

"I'm Ryuji Sakamoto, my Persona is Captain Kidd, and I'm specialize in physical and lightning attacks."

"I'm Ann Takamaki, my Persona is Carmen, and I'm specialize in fire based attacks."

"I'm Yusuke, I'm an artist, and my Persona is Goemon, Ice type attacks are my affinities."

"Do I have to...?" Futaba seems nervous in front of so many people.

"Don't worry, if it's too much let's do it together with me." Said Haru.

Futaba and Haru decided to introduce themselves together. "I'm Futaba Sakura, and my Persona is Necronomicon, my Persona is usually for gathering information."

"And she's a talented hacker as well." Added Haru.

"Haru, you don't have to tell them that ! What if they look at me with suspicion !" Complained Futaba.

"Hey Hal, looks like you got yourself a competition." Teased Snake.

"I'm not petty Snake." Hal turn his attention to Futaba. "Don't worry about that Ms. Sakura, I know a thing or two about hacking as well, if anything I'm glad to have another one here."

"Uuhm thanks." Futaba thanked Hal nervously.

"Futaba sure is nervous." Said Yusuke.

"Well this is a place full of people she never met before." Added Ann.

"I'm Haru Okumura, I'm the daughter of the late President Okumura, my Persona is Milady and specialize in Psychic attacks."

"Last but not least is me Morgana, the founder of Phantom Thieves, my Persona is Zorro and I'm specialize in healing and wind element."

"Didn't think we have talking cat on Earth." Commented Snake.

Morgana about to protest but Ren quickly cover his mouth.

"Okay so I'm next." Byleth then got up from his seat. "My name is Byleth, currently I'm the Archbishop of Garreg Mach Monastery, I came from Fodlan, I used to work as a professor at the monastery, and it seems there's familiar face around here after all." Byleth looking at Roy, Ike, Marth, Chrom, Lucina and the rest of the Shepherds.

"Who knew summoned to Askr would benefit in long run." Remarked Ike.

"Okay so, my name is Steve and this is my friend Alex." Steve and Alex introduced themselves.

"We're usually builders, Overworld is a vast wilderness, but it is inhabited by dangerous creatures, so we're no strangers to combat either." Said Steve. "You don't have to worry about us on the field."

"And I guess it's me next, my name is Sora, I came from the Realm of light, with my keyblade I fight against the forces of darkness to defend the light." Sora summon his keyblade.

"Wow a key and sword at the same time ? That's a unique looking weapon." Marth is impressed by the keyblade.

"Trust me that thing pack a punch." Snarked Bayonetta as Sora can only laugh sheepishly.

"Okay, so that's everyone, now let us begin the meeting." Said Mario.

"Wait Mario !" Red stepped up.

"What is a-it Red ?" Asked Mario.

"How would everyone like to speak telepathically for this meeting ?" Asked Red. "We don't have to use our mouth for talking, and just use our minds to talk to each other."

"That was a-out of nowhere, and is a-it alright with so many people here ? Won't we ended up hearing each other's thoughts ?" Mario a bit concerned.

("Just focus on the topic at hand, that way you won't think of anything unnecessary.") Stated Mewtwo.

"Okay then, does everyone want to try it ?" Asked Mario.

Some people agreed as the others are silent as in not objecting to the idea.

"Okay then let's a-do it, Mewtwo." Mario give Mewtwo the cue as the pokemon linked everyone's mind to each other.

("Let's start...wow this is kinda fun...Ahem okay so, I'll go first...we learn that the book to the Paper World have been opened and some of the residents there have entered the real world, by residents I mean the evil ones.")

("The Shadow Queen and her minions are one of such residents correct ?") Asked Chrom. ("When will we defeat her ?")

("Yes, but the last time we defeated her we need the power of the 7 Star Crystal, Shadow Queen would be prepared this time.") Said Paper Peach.

("Please can we try save my country, we already have the Chaos Emeralds on our side it should be enough to defeat the Shadow Queen right ?") Begged Chrom.

("Chaos Emeralds are powerful, but we are dealing with things with comparable power, if Shadow Queen possess all 7 stars, I don't think a mere 3 emeralds are enough.") Stated Sonic.

("Chrom, I'll let a-you do this, but listen, should a-things get out of hand you will retreat immediately.") Said Mario.

("Okay, I will.") Chrom agreed to Mario's condition.

("Yeah about that...Stahl and I encounter Yenfay at Kalos, he said that Grima can't seem to maintained his vessel.") Said Sully.

("Is that true ?") Asked Robin.

("I don't know, Yen'fay could lure us to a trap.") Said Sully.

("Hold on ! My brother would never resort to such a thing !") Objected Say'ri.

("Sorry Say'ri, but it is a fact that he's under the enemy control, they can force him to do anything no matter how much it against his moral principle.") Said Stahl.

("I'm sorry, I know that, but...I can't bear it, he's already suffered under Excellus, and now his death turns out to be for nothing, now with him gone he's just a puppet to a malevolent deity.") Say'ri feeling frustrated.

("Then let's save him, free him from the enemy control, and for that I wished to join Chrom on this mission.") Hendrik offered his help.

("Thank you, your help is appreciated Hendrik.") Chrom thanked Hendrik.

("Back to topic, Yen'fay said for Grima to stabilize his posssession of Morgan...Parallel Morgan he would need the Chaos Emerald for that.") Sully continue talking.

("Well we can't let him have it, if the Emerald is as powerful as it is, Grima can also exist without a vessel.") Objected Robin.

("He would certainly try to tie our hands, like give me the emerald or we will engulf the entire Ylissean continent to war.") Added Lucina.

("Look I may have a solution for that.") Said Sonic.

("You do ? Sonic tell us, of there's a way to outdo Grima then say it, I need to get that monster of my throne.") Said Gangrel.

("What does it matter anyway, if you're sitting back on the throne is just means mad king just return.") Snarked Aversa asGangrel glare at her.

("Umm...actually we believe what Yen'fay said is the truth, when we torture Algol he said the same thing, that Morgan is fighting to get Grima off her body, and it's becoming more and more difficult to suppress her.") Confirmed Henry.

("That would explain why he need the emerald, oh right Sonic your plan ?") Asked Sumia.

("The plan is we destroy the Chaos Emerald.") Answered Sonic which shocks everyone.

("Destroy the Emerald ! Are you a-crazy ! I haven't used it yet !") Complained Wario.

("That's the plan, we pretend to give Grima the emerald, but before it reached his hand we destroy it, shattering the emerald to several pieces.") Explained Sonic.

("I got it, if it's shattered to pieces Grima can't use it right ? With his last chance gone Morgan can remove him from her body.") Robin seemed to be onboard with the plan.

("Not that easy, even in pieces Chaos Emerald still retain their powers, but in pieces their power is greatly diminished compared to a perfectly intact emerald.") Explained Sonic. ("At the very least if he got one piece he can gain enough power to suppress his host will.")

("I see, So this is the plan huh ?") Pondered Robin.

("Worst case scenario, Neo Subspace Army can give Grima the Chaos Emerald they have, and also even if Grima is gone do you think they'll give up their conquered territory just like that ?") Asked Sonic.

("Either give him a full emerald or a piece of it huh ?") Pondered Chrom.

("Sadly it's all I got.") Said Sonic.

("No wait, I agree, this may be the better outcome yet.") Said Robin.

("You agree with that Robin ?") Asked Chrom.

("Yes, and I'll tell you why.") Robin begin to explain. ("Neo Subspace Army full of villains from all over the universe, surely all of them will covet the Chaos Emerald seeing what kind of power they possess, and why would they willing to share it with Grima who have disdain towards mortals ?")

("But what if the higher ups of Neo Subspace Army needed to heal Grima ?") Asked Chrom.

("At the very least they need to limit Grima's power, strong enough to level an entire city, but not strong enough to be a threat to enemy deities like Hades.") Explained Robin. ("But if he only have a mere shard, he can solve his immediate problem, but Neo Subspace Army won't need to help him considering Grima no longer in serious trouble anymore.")

("And with his power is weakening there's a strong chance we're able to defeat him !") Exclaimed Lucina.

("Yeah, we can work out on the mission details later, at the very least we already have a clear picture on what we need to do.") Said Robin.

("Then i'd like to speak next, During our trip to Kalos, we encounter Elio and Selene.") Said Lucario.

("You found them !") Exclaimed Red, Blue, and Green, Incineroar also got up from its seat.

("Unfortunately those two are under the enemy control.") Said Lucario.

("No way, could they be...and then...") Green is imagining the worst.

("No, they're still alive, I believe they're just under mind control.") Clarified Lucario.

("That's a relief, we finally know where they are.") Said Green.

("I also have something to say, related to Lucario, I met Jasper and Krystalinda during my mission at Kalos region as well.") Said Hendrik.

("What !? Wait, I guess we can't be surprised.") Responded Serena.

("It also seems Krystalinda has regained all her powers as well, she froze the Pokémon Village with her power.") Continued Hendrik.

("Just like our first visit to Sniflheim then.") Reminisce Erik.

("These a-people you mentioned, are they your enemies ?") Asked Mario.

("Technically, but Krystalinda sees the error of her ways and Jasper...") Erven looked at Hendrik.

("Was my fault he turned out that way, and I intent on making things right.") Hendrik made a vow.

("On my end we managed to destroy the Mani Mani Statue, and yeah that thing put us in an illusory world as a defense mechanism.") Said Cpt. Falcon.

("That statue is what Giygas use to exert his influence, so many people have become corrupted by its influence, for those who don't know this is what the statue look like.") Ness using his powers creating an illusory projection of what the Mani Mani Statue look like in his palm.

("Hey ! Samus and I saw that statue as well on Earth !") Exclaimed Mac.

("You do ? Could It be possible that Giygas spreading the statue over to many worlds ?") Pondered Ness.

("Apart from Mac, has anyone else has seen the statue ?") Asked Mario, but no one raised their hand.

("But Ness assumption is correct, Mani Mani statues are distributed across the worlds, unfortunately only the higher ups know where the statues are.") Explained Cpt. Falcon. ("I was assigned to placed the one in Smashville.")

("Everyone first I'd like to apologize, I failed my mission, Ashnard have the Beanstar.") Ike bowed his head down.

("No need to a-be hard on yourself, we know this isn't an easy fight.") Assured Mario.

("Well on the bright side, we have a new companions.") Marth pointed at Steve and Alex.

("Us is next, we managed to retrieve the Divine Beast and the Chaos Emerald, but there's something else, during our mission Algol threaten to attack Planet Titania with Phazon, Samus you've dealt with this directly.") Fox looked at Samus.

("I do, but does this mean Planet Phaaze returned ? Is there any other worlds under attack by Phazon ? Wait ! Does that mean Titania is infected with Phazon ?") Samus bombarded Falco with questions.

("No, Rosalina manage to destroy the Leviathan pod before it touch Titania surface.") Answered Fox.

("Speaking of which, I managed to take this from Algol.") Rosalina placed the black plate on the table. ("I suppose this black plate is the counterpart to our golden plate.")

("And it seems this thing can block our golden plate teleportation.") Remarked Fox.

("Yeah, we can confirm, our friend on the enemy side have one of these as well, he helped us escape K. Rool castle.") Added DK.

("So the enemy built a-this device as a-well huh ?") Commented Mario.

Palutena then appear in the meeting room.

("Lady Palutena ! It's rare for you to show up personally like this !") Exclaimed Pit.

("Everyone speaking telepathically huh ? Okay I hear you Mario, if you don't mind I'll be borrowing this, Death might know something about this.") Palutena take the black plate and teleport back to her domain.

("I also have something to say.") Bayonetta raised her hand. ("But I think its best coming from Sora.")

The others looked at Sora as he's decided to come clean. ("Everyone, I'm sorry for not being completely honest, but Master Hand tasked me to take the Chaos Emerald here.")

("Before you all jumping to conclusion, that Master Hand is a clone, a copy made by Galeem, so...don't start being harsh to Sora.") Bayonetta defending Sora.

("It seems my faith to the light have been exploited, and i'm sorry everyone.") Sora bow his head, but nobody is upset with him.

("That's okay, you came from a world where light is good and dark is evil, no one here expect you to changed your mindset in a few hours.") (OoT)Zelda assured Sora he got nothing to blame.

("If anything you just give us new information, that Master Hand is cloned by the enemy.") Said Cloud.

Despite the secrecy Sora is glad he's not in trouble and Vowed not to disappoint his new friends.

("Well we're able to learn what we can, so next is how to proceed from here.") Mario is ending the meeting.

("So the meetings over ? Some of my castles aren't invaded so it would be perfect for an alone time with Peach.") Bowser snickered to himself.

("Bowser, we can still hear you !") Exclaimed Mario and Peach.

("And why are you not telling us not all your castles under attack !?") Complained Mario.

("Bowser still a-have his remaining castles ? They better don't know about my private planet or...oops.") Wario slowly looked around as the others stare at him.

("You have your own planet !") Shouted Everyone else.

"Ow ! Ow ! Your minds attacking a-me a the same time !" Wario fell from his seat thanks to the overflow of thoughts attacking him.

"Okay ! Okay ! Stop now before things gets out of hand !" Exclaimed Mario as Mewtwo then cut off psychic communication.

"It was going pretty well until the last part." Said Red.

"Look in my defense, I don't think we need to go there that's why I haven't talk about it till now." Bowser Defended himself.

"Yes I have my own planet, if you want to go there there's taxes to be paid of course." Said Wario.

"Okay, but if the enemy started looting your planet, will there still be a red tape against us ?" Asked Ganondorf.

"Fine ! You can use it for free ! Happy now !?" Complained Wario. "I hope the enemy doesn't come for my planet."


Just then the large screen in the conference room turned on and it shows Validar.

"Validar !" Exclaimed Robin.

"Greetings everyone, allow me to introduce myself, I am Validar, a devoted servant to our Lord Grima, I speak to you all because I know you possess the Chaos Emerald."

"Guess what, we're not giving it to you." Said Chrom.

"Oh, well that is what I expect you to say, however you do realize Plegia is under our rule, do you wish for the citizens to suffer because of your defiance ?" Threaten Validar.

Hearing this, the heroes angrily glare at him.

"Of course if you refuse to hand over the emerald, I don't mind doing a negotiation such as if my son Robin would return to us and fulfill his duty as Lord Grima's vessel." Validar offered the heroes an option.

"That's never gonna happen !" Robin defied that option.

"You could have serve a great purpose and yet I still had no idea why you would reject such grand calling, well if you refuse then bring the Chaos Emerald now, or with each passing minute we will sacrifice one person to Lord Grima, starting now." Validar ended communication.

"Robin, that was your father ?" Asked Mac. "You two look nothing alike at all."

"Yeah, lucky me, I guess I take after my mother even though sadly I forgot what she look like." Said Robin.

"Validar seems hellbent on reviving Grima even though I don't see anything good can come from it." Said Chrom.

"You said the religion that worship Grima called the Grimleal right ? The dragon who would bring destruction to the world ? That sounds like an evil cult, won't that mean he's been indoctrinated since he was born ?" Said Snake. "If that's true it's not a surprise why he's so fanatically devoted."


As the heroes continue talking the screen turned on again.

"Greetings my hated enemies and people soon to be my enemies...wow there sure are more of you than I thought." F.A.N.G surprised by the number of heroes.

"F.A.N.G ! What are you doing calling us !? Dont tell me you're involved with Neo Subspace Army !?" Yelled Ken.

"But that's exactly it, with Neo Subspace Army backing I will revive Shadaloo and Lord Bison as well." F.A.N.G explain his reasons for joining.

"We just get rid of that madman, we won't let you bring him back !" Exclaimed Ken.

"Sure you won't, but I have ways to make others cooperate, Ribbon Girl !" F.A.N.G call for Ribbon Girl

Ribbon Girl now appear on screen and held Min Min hostage.

"Hey that's Min Min !" Exclaimed Green.

"Yes, Min Min is under my mercy, now I demand you give me all the Beanstar Piece, and the voice of someone pure of heart !" Demanded F.A.N.G. "Refuse and this girl will suffer the consequences, I will send the location to your golden plate, that where we meet, you only have 5 minutes, I know you have the golden plate for teleportation so don't keep me waiting."

F.A.N.G ended the communication.

"Of course those Shadaloo remnants want to rebuild their fallen empire." Growled Ken.

"Validar not giving us time to prepare, he must've not want us to foil his scheme." Said Robin.

"Then let's do what Sonic suggested." Said Red.

"Right where we de..."

"Yes that one !" Red quickly interject.

"But even so we still need careful planning to succeed." Said Robin. "And also Chrom..."

"Should I postpone my plan to confront the Shadow Queen ?" Asked Chrom.

"Please let me help, I think i have a solution for our trouble." Twink give his suggestion.

"Alright what's your plan ?" Asked Robin.

"Red signalling Mesprit as the pokemon manipulate Twink's mind.

"I'm going to use my power to help you, with it you'll have enough time to prepare, but with my current power I won't be able to do it for long, 30 minutes is as fas as I can go." Said Twink.

"30 minutes is more than enough so please do it !" Said Robin.

"Make a wish then." Said Twink.

"Please grant my wish !" Robin makes his wish, even though Robin and Twink speaking ambiguously Twink grant Robin's wish as it is Twink's idea in the first place.

Twink uses his powers and stop time, of course the heroes are all able to move as Twink only stopped time except for the heroes.

"Okay everyone here's what I have in mind." Robin begin to explain his plan to everyone, well except for Kitty who is stopped alongside time.

After deciding who's going back to Ylisse the heroes ready to make their next move.


Sorry it took so long, this chapter ended up much longer than I thought, I thought of just introducing Sora, but that would make things very short so the meeting and free time segment ended up being included here.

And so Sora, and Kazuya finally appear, with Sephiroth eventually.

Sora defending Bowser from Bayonetta makes sense as Sora managed to befriend Beast, and Bayonetta is darkness aligned, she can generate dark energy at her hand, the same way she cut Iustitia tendril, so Sora will mistake Bayonetta as another evil darkness wielder.

And to clarify, for KH this fic event happen shortly after Sora wins against Yozora.

And for Tekken, this happen sometime between Tekken 7 and 8.

For SF Is between 3 and 6 so the SF newcomer won't appear like JP, Manon, Marisa, etc.

So for Kingdom Hearts, the Disney characters won't appear here, they will only be mentioned or name dropped by Sora, and also the FF characters that Sora encounter are alternate self characters, so FFVII Cloud is not the same one from KH Cloud.

Character debut : Nameless Star, Sora, Kazuya Mishima, Leviathan, Nina Williams, Ribbon Girl.

Boss battle : Plasm Wraith, Bayonetta.
