S.S Light - Marth's Room
Inside the S.S Light there's many rooms, each smashers have choose their own rooms, some choose to room alone, some prefer with roommates, the inside of the room is like modern hotel with TV, fancy beds, table and chairs, and each rooms have their own bathrooms, once the past and Fire Emblem characters taught about air conditioner and TV, they used it to help them sleeping while commenting the technological advancement of the modern era.
It's finally morning, and Marth still asleep, he chose to room alone, but then he heard the curtain opened, exposing his face to sunlight, and waking him up.
"Mmm..mmm." Marth slowly opened his eyes to see a familiar figure, but the ones that remind him of a battle long time ago.
"WHAT ! PRIMIDS ! How did you get here !?" Marth jumped out of bed and proceed to kick the Primid, knocking it off the ground. He dashed toward the desk to grab his sword and slashed the Primid in half, dissolving it back to a Shadow Bug. Marth run to open the door to warn the smashers about the Primid in his room, only to found the entire hallway full of them.
"Primids everywhere !? Are we invaded by the Neo Subspace Army !?"
Mario soon tapped Marth on the shoulder. "Morning Marth, you're the a-last one to wake up."
"Mario what happened ? Why the ship is full of Primids ?"
"Believe a-me you're not the only one panicked, turns out this a-was Bowser's doing, thanks to last night a-conversation he had the idea to use Mr. GW Shadow Bugs to create Primids as servants." Explained Mario.
"Well now that you mentioned it these Primids seemed harmless, oh man I just kill a Primid for no reason." Regretted Marth.
"It's a-okay Marth it's not your fault, your not the only one that did that, and I'm not sure if Primids even count as living being." Mario tried to assure Marth even though he's not sure himself.
Looking around many of the smashers are already used to Primids walking around the ship, the Primids are either guarding rooms, or just walking around the ship.
"Make way everyone the Master of ice is coming through !" Popo create an open chair litter transport using his ice powers and have four Primids hold the carrying pole, clearly enjoying the experience.
"Seriously Popo ? You really taking advantage of this do you ?" Seeing what Popo did leave Nana exasperated.
"Mwahhaahahaha ! How do you all like my brilliant idea !" Bowser's loud voice can be heard throughout the ship. "Until I get my army back, these Primids will do for the time being."
"Bowser you could at least warn us about this ! I thought we were under attack !" Yelled Marth.
"Aw quit your whining you prissy king ! Especially since I went through all the trouble of getting us servants !"
"And you sure they won't turn on us ?" Questioned Marth.
"Of course not ! These Primids are under our control, so you can expect their loyalty." Bowser then left Mario and Marth.
"How did you put up with him Mario ?" Sighed Marth.
"You'll a-get used to it, just like this Primids, I have my fair share of teaming up with Bowser to stop an even worse threat." Replied Mario.
"Yesterday's enemy today's allies huh ? I'd be lying if I said never experienced that." Pondered Marth.
"Same a-here, anyway better get ready Marth, we'll begin our mission briefing after breakfast, I already taught you about using shower last night remember ?"
"Don't worry I still remember, all this invention is incredible, I get to sleep peacefully from the hot shower last night, okay better get ready then." Marth then head back to his room.
"Last night was...nice." (TP)Zelda sounded happy.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Replied (TP)Link.
"Morning (TP)Link, and (TP)Zelda, you a-two seemed happy." Greeted Mario.
"Ye-yeah, last night was an amazing night for us." Answered (TP)Link nervously.
"Well you a-two choose to room together and...oh." Finally realized why the two Hylians seemed happy Mario's face turned red and end the conversation. "I better head to the R.O.B's room." Mario switched his clothes into his doctor attire and head to R.O.B's Room.
S.S Light - R.O.B's Room
Mario went inside R.O.B's room, inside he saw Mewtwo and R.O.B doing something to the still unconscious Professors.
"So how is it ?" Asked R.O.B.
"No good, their body is fine, the problem lies in their mind and soul, the problem is the soul is not inside the body, it probably spirited away somewhere, I can assure you at least Prof Hector and Vector is not dead." Explained Mewtwo.
"Still no clue Mewtwo ?" Asked Dr. Mario.
"Sorry, I don't know where Tabuu hide their soul, but I won't give up trying, R.O.B saved me from Giovanni's control I must repay him for this Mario."
Offended, Dr. Mario slapped Mewtwo in the head. "It's Dr. Mario to you ! When I'm wearing this a-costume everyone must refer to me as Dr. Mario !"
"Alright, sorry Dr. Mario, happy !?" Replied Mewtwo in annoyed tone and rubbing his head.
"Alright, so can you at least come up with a few theories about their condition ?" Asked R.O.B.
"Well it's either Tabuu have their souls in his possession, or he put it someplace else like the Spirit Plane, and guarded by a powerful guardian." Theorized Mewtwo.
"Knowing Tabuu having the souls in his possession will make it too obvious, after what I pull I doubt he have it in his possession because should we win and Tabuu can just revealed he doesn't have their souls in his possession, and since souls can only be exist in spiritual plane then that must be where it is." Deduced R.O.B.
"The Spirit Plane is a vast, dangerous, and limitless place, going there without planning is dangerous, if we have a ghost type Pokemon we may be able to search around, but you sure R.O.B ? you already broke your agreement with Tabuu, doesn't that mean he also no longer have to honor his part of the bargain." Asked Mewtwo.
"Not to worry, if Tabuu's going to spite me, he won't do anything to them unless I'm within Tabuu's sight, he will only harm them just so he can see me suffer, and since I'm not within his sights right now he won't do it." Assured R.O.B. "Besides as long as their bodies are unharmed he can't do anything lethal to the soul."
"Exploiting his cruelty huh ? That's a bold a-move, but we still must act, he can still change his mind anytime." Warned Dr. Mario.
"Yeah you're right, anyway you guys go ahead and get breakfast, I'll catch up to you later." Dr. Mario and Mewtwo left the room while R.O.B continue to watch his creator for a little longer.
"When Tabuu told me you exist, I couldn't believe it, I wonder if doing all this really worth it ?" R.O.B begin to reminisced when Tabuu returns.
Flashback...
World of Trophy Soon After the 4th Tournament - Cliff
After the smashers went back to their homeworld R.O.B was left all alone in the cliff where he had his conversation with Tabuu.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA ! Our plan succeed, with absorbing some of the Master Core's energy I finally regain most of my power, and what's more I can move outside Subspace ! And it's all thanks to you R.O.B !"
"Glad you enjoy yourself Tabuu, I've done my part now release the Professors !"
"Do you think this is all I want ? R.O.B you have just begun serving me, I will have my revenge against the smashers and you will assist me in making that come true ! Refuse and the Professors will suffer !"
"What do you want me to do Tabuu ?" Asked R.O.B grudgingly.
"First I want you to gather an army, much bigger than the previous Subspace Army consists of the smashers all enemies ! We build a force strong enough to destroy then once and for all !"
Soon after both R.O.B and Tabuu heard a voice.
"Quite the ambition you've got, I am willing to lend you a hand, in exchange you must free me." Said the unknown voice.
"Who said that !? Show yourself !" Screamed Tabuu.
"Tabuu, come to the Spirit Realm, there you will know who I am."
Not having a choice Tabuu heed the voice, and left to the Spirit Realm.
Spirit Realm - Galeem's Domain
Tabuu felt a powerful force and gets drawn in, he saw a gigantic angelic being with glowing bright sphere in the middle and bright angelic wings with red and blue coloring surrounding it.
"It can't be !? I know you, you're Galeem ! The fallen angel who were banished from the Heavens, you were supposed to be imprisoned in the Abyss of Time !"
"Well I'm free now, and I've been watching you Tabuu, join me and we shall rid the universe of it's ugliness, the universe shall be remake in my image and you're free to take what you want back to Subspace, once I'm done with my part nobody can oppose you in fulfilling your ambition."
"You got yourself a deal." Tabuu agreed to help Galeem.
"But first I cannot leave the Spirit Realm, in order for my plan to succeed I need to be able to materialize in the physical plane, the Great Will put many layer of barriers to prevent my return, all you need to do is to break this barrier and commence the ritual to summon me to the physical plane."
"I see, then I will make sure I succeed in this mission."
"Alright, anyway I see you in the World of Trophy, it would be best if Master Hand and Crazy Hand to join our cause."
"Leave that part to me Lord Galeem." Tabuu then left Galeem's Domain and proceed to find Master Hand and Crazy Hand.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand Domain
"Brother what was that !? Why did you expose your core like that ? Don't you know if your core is destroyed then you'll be dead !?" Crazy Hand angry at his brother.
"Honestly I don't know, it feels like there's something that caused me to go berserk for some reason."
"That would be me !" Tabuu quickly ambushed the both of them and bind them with his Chains of Light, bending them to his control.
"Tabuu ! So this is your doing !" Master Hand roared in anger.
"That's right and I have work for you two." Tabuu then dragged the two hands with them and brought them to Galeem.
Spirit Realm - Galeem's Domain
"Ah you're back Tabuu and you brought me Master Hand and Crazy Hand as promised."
"What !? No it can't be ! Galeem ! You're free !" Screamed Master Hand bound by Tabu's chain.
"This can't be true !? It just can't !" Crazy Hand also bound by Tabuu's chain, can't believe what he saw.
"But here I am, and now you two will submit to my power !" Galeem then used his power to create multiple clones of Master Hand and Crazy Hand to be used as an army.
"Incredible Galeem ! With this army of Master Hands and Crazy Hands our forces will be much more powerful !"
"It will, Tabuu imprison the real Master Hand and Crazy Hand, we will use them when the time is right." Tabuu then proceed to imprison the two giant hands.
After that Tabuu return to the physical plane and tasked R.O.B to gather an army for his forces, donning the mantle of Ancient Minister once again, he sets out to recruit the smashers enemies and formed the Neo Subspace Army while also devising his own plan to free the professors from Tabuu, and for that he begin formulating a plan that unknowingly changed the universe.
Subspace Prison
After recruiting Team Rocket R.O.B and Mewtwo often meet in secret, or at least spoke telepathically to each other to formulate a plan to betray the Neo Subspace Army without arousing suspicion, because R.O.B is a sentient machine telepathy worked on him.
"So gathering the smash fighters is the first phase of the plan then ?" Asked Mewtwo.
"Yes, they will be the one to free you and counter this new evil Galeem, and just like you I need some people in my side." Answered Ancient Minister.
R.O.B then went to the Pokemon World gathering Lucario, Greninja, Jigglypuff, and even Pichu. Once he's back at the prison however.
"So the light just transport him directly here ?" Asked Ancient Minister.
"Yes, this is Incineroar, it's a Pokemon from Alola region, it's separated from it's trainer, and let me tell you it's trainer Elio is a formidable one."
"Incineroar I am R.O.B, but right now you may call me Ancient Minister, I'm gathering an army to oppose Galeem, he plot to destroy the universe and remake it in his image, if you wished to protect your trainer then join me and we will stop Galeem's plan." Incineroar then accept the offer.
Subsoace Prison - Cafeteria
"Haah ! If anyone should destroy the Kongs it should be me ! Not some fat walrus !" King K. Rool seen shouting at an anthropomorphic walrus dressed like a viking.
"Oh yeah ! You had your chance and you fail so many times before, I believe I'm the one who should put an end to those monkeys once and for all !" Yelled the anthropomorphic walrus.
"Is that a challenge Fredrik ! Your Snowmad Tribe are much more inferior to the Kremlings Krew !" K. Rool and Lord Fredrik continue their bickering.
Subspace Prison - Giovanni's Chamber
"So Ancient Minister, you're saying this light, the World of Trophy can gift new abilities as well enhance their existing abilities ?" Asked Giovanni still unsure.
"Yes, but are you sure you want to tell them ?" Asked Ancient Minister.
"No, this secret only for Team Rocket only, it will give us more advantage from the others." Giovanni and his Team Rocket so far is the only ones who knew about the World of Trophy effect, giving them more advantage from the other villains.
Subspace Prison - Ancient Minister Chamber
"You've done well Ancient Minister, of course I'm succeed on my part as well in convincing Hades and Death to join us as well." Tabuu spoke from a mirror.
"Death ?" Asked R.O.B not knowing what Tabuu meant.
"Death is Dracula's second in command, a supernatural being who once wreaked havoc on planet Earth, with his power we will gather more forces, this time the smashers fallen friends and enemies, we shall call them Warriors of the Fallen Stars."
"You include their dead friends and enemies among our ranks !? Isn't this going too far !?"
"There's no going too far with this ! I will take any pieces of the universe back to Subspace and nobody will get in my way this time !" Tabuu then cut off communication.
Subspace Prison - Storage Room
While wondering around Ancient Minister saw one of his recruits snooping around the storage room, it's a red haired woman dressed like a pirate.
"What are you doing here Syrup ? There's nothing worth taking here."
Captain Syrup jumped from the shock of Ancient Minister speaking behind her. "Aaah ! Ancient Minister, I wasn't doing anything suspicious, I was just...fascinated by all this otherworldly objects, you know me always the curious one haha..ha." Syrup obviously lying.
Subspace Prison - Ancient Minister Chamber
"I only agreed because I thought I'm the only one you need ! And I need to find my son ! I don't work well with others !" Roared Paper Bowser.
"But you also have better chances of using otherworldly weapons to strengthen your army further Ami I right ?" Asked Ancient Minister.
This suggestion got Paper Bowser to agreed on cooperating for now.
Same Place Sometime Later.
Ancient Minister spoke with Tabuu using the mirror again, this time with Ganondorf inside the room.
"No ! I refuse to be helped by Ganondorf ! He's the ones responsible for my kind's destruction !"
"Enough of your complaining Ancient Minister, you need Ganondorf whether you like it or not !" Tabuu then vanish from the mirror.
"I'm here to make up for what I did, rest assured R.O.B I won't repeat what I did before." Ganondorf turned around and left the room with Ancient Minister still bitter about having to rely on Ganondorf again, until Ancient Minister finally relent.
Back to Present...
S.S Light - R.O.B's Room
"I played both sides to achieve my goal, but they forgive me even knowing what I do, I can't let them down anymore, I will get your souls back, and we will stop Galeem." R.O.B then left the room and headed to the dining room. Before that though he ordered the Primids to guard his room.
S.S Light - Dining Room
The smashers enjoyed the breakfast, with the Primids serving as waiters for the smashers.
"I would like a refill please." The Primid then fill Bayonetta's cup of tea.
"I have my doubts earlier, but these Primids can actually be helpful in the right hands." Said Ike.
"So these Primids used to be the enemies during this Subspace War correct ?" Asked Chelsea.
"That's right, the Subspace Army used them as soldiers, honestly there were no end to them." Complained Pit.
"Now that they're in our hands we need to make use of them." Declared Bowser.
"Still, if we're going with the usual fiction cliche usually it's very rare for the good guys to have foot soldiers." Stated Little Mac.
"Maybe we just come up with new genre, Otacon will flip should he saw this, or not, we did involved in military stuff of course." Replied Snake.
"Well the military are one example of good guys having foot soldiers right ?" Said Falcon.
"Something like that, but good is rather stretching it." Commented Samus.
"At any rate the Primids are infinite and expendable, and we should make use of that." Commented Ganondorf.
"I want to say no one is expendable, but Primids aren't really count as living creatures." Added Pit.
"Still is it right to send them to their death just so we can finish our enemies off ?" Chrom feel conflicted.
"Soldiers follow orders Chrom, and they're willing to die for our cause, and we have the perfect soldiers in Primids, at least you don't have to worry about them being treated like people." Replied Ganondorf. "It's not like we can tell the differences since the Primids looked alike anyway."
They then hear the door opened and R.O.B entered the dining room.
"If everyone done eating let's begin our briefing." Soon after everyone get up from their seat and headed to the meeting room.
S.S Light - Conference Room
"So first team will head to Inferno, we have Ike, Pit, Dark Pit, (TP)Zelda, and (LTP)Zelda. You will be known as team Alpha.
"Ike you might want to think again, Inferno isn't a place for normal humans, it's a world of chaos and anarchy." Warned Bayonetta.
"All the more reason I need to go, based on your description about that place Bayonetta, Inferno is an ideal place for that psycho king." Replied Ike.
"Inferno ? An ideal place ? What kind of lunatic did you encounter during your lifetime." Bayonetta seemed baffled by the person Ike mentioned.
"You'll meet him one day, as long as we're on this mission." Said Ike.
"Or you can see now, the golden plate also can automatically take pictures and gather data, all of it will be sent on the bridge computer, we can checkout our enemy data in there." Explained R.O.B.
"Still how do you know you will encounter him there, it's not like R.O.B here told them where he hid his stuff." Pointed Bayonetta.
"It's an important component so I can't hide it from Tabuu, if anything he might already dispatched someone there, lucky for us I'm the only one who knew of it's exact location." Replied R.O.B.
"Second is my team, we're going to infiltrate the locker to reclaim all my stuff that I stored there." Said Samus.
"Alright, Samus you and your team are called team Beta." Said R.O.B. "So explain to me again why Snake and Greninja on your team ?"
"Well Snake is a spy, and Greninja is a ninja, not to mention Greninja possess many techniques necessary for escape and stealth, it's pragmatic approach in battle is also what we needed, as for Snake, I'll let him explain." Answered Samus.
"Not only I'm a spy, I'm also possess a pocket dimension to store infinite number of objects, someone has to carry all those dangerous stuff back to the ship safely." Answered Snake with a bit of smirk on his face.
"Alright and next is Olimar, Ganondorf, (TP)Link, and Red, you'll be known as team Delta, your mission is to gather monsters from planet PNF-404." Said R.O.B.
"Olimar told us most of the creatures there are more insectoid, with many flying and water creatures, Pikachu and Charizard should be enough to deal with them." Answered Red.
"I'm also curious about this world, based on what Olimar said they're just as dangerous as Hyrulean faunas, but not to worry taming monsters is one of my capabilities, once we're back we expect the Deeprealm is ready." Ganondorf looked at Young Link.
"We'll be done before you got back, so try not to keep us waiting for too long." Bragged Young Link, which annoyed Ganondorf.
"Alright, I don't exactly have enemies like you all do, so it's best if I we can turn those monsters into our allies." Stated Olimar.
"And next we have team Gamma who will go to the Mushroom Kingdom."
"We're going there to donate coins for this mission." Explained Peach.
"Yoshi and a-me will protect you in case there's anything unexpected." Declared Mario.
"I also want to see how's Mario's world looks like, besides I don't think I'm out of place over there." Claimed Pac Man.
"We also have team Theta to Sarasaland, and team Zeta to Sargasso Zone."
"With he weapons we stored in our hideout, we will be unstoppable !" Bragged Wolf.
"How many of these weapons are illegally earned." Fox being suspicious.
"Oh shut it McCloud like you have time to be picky ! We're adding monsters among our ranks for this mission and you're worried about a mere illegal weapons !" Fox can only shut up after hearing Wolf.
"I'm also coming because Cornerian Military are the ones keeping my Observatory, Polari you should stay here, I'll call for you should it be necessary." Said Rosalina.
"Also I think it's better if we also take the Koffings back with us." Suggested Falco.
"Agreed, I mean I trust Peppy but the Pokemons need to be brought back to their world soon." Agreed Fox.
"Team Chi will be Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knights going to Planet Popstar."
"We'll be using the Halberd to go back to our world, and quickly gather what we need, then head back here." Said Meta Knight.
"Team Epsilon will head to Ylisse, consists of Chrom, Lucina, Robin, Marth, Roy, and Mr. GW."
"I'm curious to see Archanea 2000 years later, I wonder if anything's changed." Pondered Marth.
"I assure you it's a great place, we'll show you around while we're at it." Answered Chrom.
"I brought Mr. GW as a backup in case of something unexpected." Roy hide Mr. GW in his cape.
"Team Xi will go to Planet Mobius consists of Sonic, Lucas, and Lucario.
"Need to contact Tails about what happened, knowing him he might be messing with some junks to bring me back." Said Sonic. "Also maybe your aura detection ability can help us looking for Chaos Emeralds."
"If these emeralds really emit huge power like you said then I will be able to detect it." Replied Lucario.
"I might be able to help too with my PSI powers." Added Lucas.
"Team Sigma will head to Hyrule, consists of Link, Mewtwo, Wario, and Cloud."
"Hopefully Zelda's alright over there." Murmured Link.
"Hehehe, once I get my hands on some Rupees or anything from other worlds, I'm going to auction them at outrageous prices back in my world." Wario laughed and rubbed his hands together, much to his allies chagrin.
"I came as extra muscle, I have experiences when it comes to fighting killing machines." Added Cloud.
"I'm curious about this divine beast as well, I'll see if I can reactivate it." Said Mewtwo.
"Next is team Phi which will go to Nohr, it will be consists of Corrin, Yu, and Sheik."
"Team Lambda will go to Kong Isle consist of Donkey and Diddy."
"And last is team Omega who will be heading to Earth, Ryu, Ken, Mac, Chelsea, Simon, and Richter."
"Alright ! I so want to see future Earth looks like !" Exclaimed Richter.
"I need to see Doc and explain everything, I wonder how he'll take it ? Hope he doesn't get a heart attack." Mac is getting worried.
After assigning the team R.O.B makes one last speech. "You all know what you must do, now everyone mission start !"
This chapter supposed to detail the birth of Neo Subspace Army, and those are flashback sequences when R.O.B still act as Ancient Minister.
Anyway I'm thinking of creating a fiction where the good guys also have foot soldiers rather than just the bad guys, when the good guys have foot soldiers it's usually they're a part of military or police organization, not an unofficial team up like this, and superhero organizations never have foot soldiers, and I'm talking the generic nameless extras, not a named character who got killed early.
Also to Zhenxuan20002 thanks for the support of my fic and for enjoying the story. Hopefully you'll like what I have in store in future chapters.
Character debut : Galeem, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Captain Syrup, Lord Fredrik.
Flashback characters count as a debut.
