Enjoy! This chapter took a while, but I hope you all enjoy!
Up in the higher mountains, an isolated and cold area. The snow falls only as the high point of the mountain is, those to the lower ground don't even feel a hint of such chill.
Yet who would dare to climb such a mountain?
One man walked through the snowy covered grounds, walking on his own two bare feet.
The man wore white gi bottoms, along with neon gloves, sandals, and a destroyed punching back wrapped across this chest.
He took more steps in the snow, his mind was clear but his body ready for anyone who would challenge him.
Along with his attire, he had a black belt wrapped around his waist and a red headband.
RYU
The street fighter of Japan himself, the warrior that wonders the world in search of strong opponents. Ryu has clashed with many, including superheroes, mutants, martial artists, samurai's, and other sorts of fighters.
But he was also a Smash fighter, doing battle against many video game characters across different universes.
But now, he seemed older than what he used to look like. I mean, wasn't the beard a dead giveaway?
"I was told this is where I would find him." The fighter said to himself as he continued walking through the snow. "I still can't sense his energy."
"Looking for someone, are ya stranger?
Ryu stopped in his tracks, as he turned to his side and got into a fighting stance. "Who's there?"
His eyes met those of a merchant in a black coat. The merchant had a hood over his head and a purple bandana over his mouth, with a backpack strapped on his back.
"Oh, my apologies." Ryu said as he went back into a normal stance. "What are you doing here?"
"Just out and about, but I got somethin' that might interest ya." The merchant grabbed a part of his coat and opened it up, showing bullets, guns, and grenades of all kinds. "What're ya buyin?"
Ryu looked through his collection, shaking his head. "I'm not interested in any weapons, but I need to know the location of someone. Have you seen anyone by here recently?"
The merchant closed his coat. "Hmm, ahhh…felt a huge shake in the ground earlier. Unless an elephant's stompin around up there."
"From what I've seen these past years, there aren't any elephants in Japan." The fighter looked down at the ground. "Thank you." He started walking away.
The merchant watched the world warrior walk higher up on the mountain and continue on his path. Shaking his head with a laugh.
"Don't get yourself killed out there! Haha!"
"I've been back here for what feels like eight years. I haven't seen Ken in so long, or any of the others I've met along my journey." The street fighter thought to himself with each step that made the snow crunch. "I've had full control over the Hado, and I've mastered many of my skills. But I know that he still walks, and now it is time to finish this."
"I haven't seen any of the other Smashers in years, it's been always an entire ten years." Ryu thought more to himself. "Ever since the mansion was destroyed, I've been back here to continue my journey. I do hope they all made it safely out, alive."
Ryu stopped in his tracks when he noticed something. He felt a strong source of energy radiate from not far away.
"He's close by, I can feel the overwhelming energy." Ryu closed his eyes while continuing forward. "Not a trace of humanity left in this energy, what I've come to expect."
The chi that he was feeling was one that was recognizable, one that had he had known since his old master had passed away.
—
Ryu made it on top the top of the mountain, as the falling snow had stopped. He was that high up, to the point where it wasn't even snowing anymore.
"I've made it." Ryu said to himself as he looked forward.
There, the one that he had been looking for was sitting at the edge of the mountain. He was shirtless, and muscular. With a large mane of white hair.
"Hm, so it's you." The man said in a deep voice. "You've finally shown."
AKUMA
Akuma, one of Ryu's greatest enemies. The murderer and brother of his master and adoptive father, Gouken. A warrior who was one of the most powerful he had ever faced, who had thrown away his humanity to let the Satsui No Hado give him his great power.
"It's time for us to end this." The word warrior said as he took one step forward and clenched his fist. "Our battle has gone on long, and the end is in sight of it."
Akuma closed his eyes again. "I forever thought you weak without the Hado, but you've shown me your own control over a new form of Hado. I commend you for that."
The user of dark Hado uncrossed his legs, standing up on his own two feet.
"But…"
Akuma turned around and stomped his foot into the ground, with both of his fists clenched and a red aura around him.
"Can that Hado clash equally with the true power of the Hado?!" Akuma exclaimed as the ground started to shake. "And prove you to be a worthy challenger without the Satsui?"
Ryu closed his eyes, tightening his headband. "To think we had fought side-by-side all those years ago."
Akuma stared him in the eye. "That was a temporary moment, a moment of using my power against fools that claimed to be more powerful."
"Then show me." Ryu got into his fighting stance, as he and Akuma met eye to eye.
They ran towards each other, a few milliseconds passed with each step into the snow.
"Haaaaggrrrhhh!" Ryu yelled as he winded his fist back.
"Eeggghrghhheeeee!" Akuma yelled.
Their fists swung forward, clashing right against each other. A huge force of wind exploded from the collision of their knuckles, blowing away much of the snow at the tip of the mountain.
This pushed each other back, before they began their fight.
Ryu throw a forward jab, as Akuma moved his head and lifted up one of his legs. Ryu blocked the leg with his elbow, breaking away from it as he delivered a small uppercut at a 45 degree angle.
Akuma was slightly hit in the chest by the uppercut, but he grabbed Ryu by the arm and throw him behind him.
Ryu put his hands close as blue energy appeared. "Hadouken!" He shot a fireball at Akuma before falling down, but the Satsui No Hado wielder knocked it away with his hand.
Ryu landed on another level of the mountain, creating a small crater at where he fell into.
"Urggh." His eyes widened when he saw Akuma jump high from the top and towards Ryu's level. With pure red and black energy in the palm of his hand and a red demonic glow in his eyes.
Ryu quickly rolled back when Akuma slammed his fist into the ground, only for Ryu to jump forward and spin.
"Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" Each kick landed on Akuma's face, but the last two were blocked as Akuma threw his leg up which ended Ryu's tornado kick. "Aagrah!"
"Weak!" Akuma brought down his leg which kicked Ryu down, but the world warrior stopped himself as he was pushed back.
Ryu jumped at Akuma as his kick was blocked by Akuma's palm, the world warrior flipped forward and quickly span around, with Akuma blocking it and being pushed slightly.
As he held Ryu in midair, he held up his fist. "You really thought that would work?"
He grabbed Ryu towards him and landed his fist right at the world warrior's jaw, as he was blasted up above and delivered an uppercut of purple flames. "Goshoryu!" Akuma said as Ryu fell to the ground.
Ryu had his fist planted on the ground, breathing as his face only faced down.
"Hm." Akuma's eyes glowed. "Here I thought you would stand taller, I was wrong." The user of the Satsui No Hado turned his back to Ryu and started walking away.
Ryu let out a breath. "You think I'm one to give up so easily?" He began getting up from the ground while fixing his jaw.
"Hm." Akuma quickly turned. "I suppose not." He proceeded to use his Ashura Senku ability, coming towards Ryu at a quick pace while red aura came around him.
Just as Akuma was about to land a hit right on Ryu, the world warrior stood up.
"Haaa." Ryu tightened his grip and pulled his arm back, with pure blue energy surrounding his fist.
Akuma's eyes slightly widened.
"Kuuuaa!" He thrusted his fist forward and punched Akuma right in the stomach. Blue energy blasted out of his fist and pummeled into Akuma. With some energy even blowing behind him.
He grit his teeth as he was blasted back, his feet dragging on the ground as more snow powder exploded upwards.
Akuma's eye glowed red for a second, stomping his foot into the ground. "Hmm!"
He stopped in his tracks.
Ryu stood back up straight, tightening his fists and getting back into stance.
Akuma stood up himself, putting up his right arm and dusting the front of his shoulder. "Hm, barely a graze."
Ryu ran up and threw a downward fist, which Akuma dodged. Landing a kicking to Akuma's foot before another punch.
Akuma turned to the side to dodge his fist, putting his arm at a 90 degree angle and slamming the elbow onto Ryu's back.
Ryu was forced onto the ground, before he rolled to the side and flipped up into the air by pushing his hands on the ground.
He landed again and did a low spin kick. Slightly tripping Akuma, but due to the Satsui No Hado user's agility he ducked and threw a punch.
But Ryu quickly countered it and jumped back.
The world warrior put his hands forward, pulling them back as he was focusing energy between the palms of his hands. A radiating blue energy began to glow, as a shine of blue lighting shined in his eyes.
"Hm?" Akuma's head tilted up.
"Shinku…." Ryu said as the veins in his biceps slightly stressed.
Akuma followed silt by putting his hands together, blasting a flaming blast from his hands. "Shakunetsu!"
"HADOOOKEN!!" Ryu blasted a blue laser out of his hands that shook the whole ground. Soon the beam clashed with Akuma's horizontal pillar of fire.
Both energy blasts were struggling to overcome the other, shaking the entire ground as even the sky trembled at the night of Hado energy exploding around them.
"Mm..come on!" Ryu said as he pushed on while gritting his teeth, with even his teeth railing against each other so hard that blood started falling from his mouth.
Akuma's hair blowed wildly from the blast. "Hm. Urggh." He said.
It looked like Ryu's Shinku Hadoken was about to be taken over by Akuma's Hado Shakunetsu, no matter how much power he was putting into it.
"Heeyagh!"
A voice yelled that jumped towards Akuma, slamming a flaming kick right against his face.
This made Akuma stumble as the Shinku blast overtook him and blasted him right against him.
"Eeyaagh!" He exclaimed in pain as he fell back.
Ryu's blast ended as his head tilted up. "What?"
The figure who kicked Akuma has his back towards Ryu, letting out a tiny chuckle. "Heh. You sure know how to make a guy feel left out."
The world warrior's eyes slightly widened, before a more focused expression came about his face.
The fighter wore red pants, boots, a black shirt, fighter gloves, and a brown coat. While also having blond hair and a black belt around his waste.
"Can't believe you tried to finish him off."
The fighter turned around and smiled, an old friend of Ryu's had returned.
"Without my help!"
KEN
Ken Masters, Ryu's best friend and skilled street fighter. Also a family man and holder of the Masters family legacy, but…he had been undercover for some time now.
"Ken." Ryu walked up to his best friend, putting his fist forward. "It's a relief to see you!"
"You too buddy." Ken put his own hand forward as the fighters bumped their fists. Proceeded to shake his own head. "Sorry for the sudden appearance."
"No need, how did you find me?" The world warrior asked.
Ken adjusted his shoulders. "I was out here for some training, I'm still in hiding. But a guy's gotta do what he's gotta do when he sees his best friend fighting up here."
"Hmm." Ryu looked at him.
Ken shook his head. "Nah, I felt your ki. And Akuma's."
"GGGGREERHHHAAA!!"
Akuma jumped high up into the air from below and landed on a higher ground, being a hill.
"Speaking of which." Ken tightened his fist and got into a fighting stance. "Seems like it's finally time."
"Hm." Akuma grunted. "Two against one, the difference in number does not change this battle." He put his hand up, as flames ignited in his hands. "My fists prove power!"
He slammed said hand into the edge of the hill.
Ryu stepped back in his stance. "Get ready."
"Yeah." Ken nodded.
Akuma's arms went out, as shadows formed around him. "Die a thousand deaths."
"Here he comes!" Ken exclaimed as Akuma faded forward, grabbing both of them.
Suddenly the two of them were transported to a dark grey skied landscape. Where thousands of shadow Akuma's surrounded them in the air.
One lunged forward, punching Ryu in the gut.
Another came from behind, elbowing Ken in his back.
Soon multiple Akumas started rapidly attacking both street fighters thousands of times. Before all of them jumped into the air and charged at them like a bull at the sight of red.
"Submit yourself to the Satsui." An echoed voice of Akuma said as they were delivering punches at the speed and force of a hurricane.
"Become…the demon!" Akuma stood over both of them with his back facing them, and the red kanji glowing on it.
Akuma had thought the two of them to be defeated by that attack. "Hm, even after all this time. Neither of you could ever reach the strength that your master had. Pathetic!"
He stomped his foot on Ryu's face. "You rejected what the Hado truly offered you! Even your own conquering of it ended up proving futile!"
"Heh."
The Satsui No Hado Wielder turned his head to Ken. "And why do you laugh?"
Ken planted his fist into the ground and turned his head. "You think Ryu couldn't figure out your thousand deaths? He's seen you do that for over ten years,"
"What?"
Akuma looked back down to notice that he wasn't standing on Ryu! His foot was placed on a rock. Where did the world warrior go?
Akuma was slightly shocked. "What?!"
"Hashogeki!" Ryu yelled from behind and lunges his blue fist into Akuma's back.
"Heeya!" Ken did a slide kick and tripped Akuma.
"Agh!" He exclaimed as he was knocked forward.
Ken stood back up and jumped, moving his teeth as he was ready to fight again.
Ryu crossed his arms. "You let your guard down. That isn't like you, Akuma."
The Satsui No Hado wielder stood straight up and turned around. "You dare mock me?! how did you do that?!"
"I finally figured out your attacks." Ryu said. "Now let's finish this."
"Once and for all!" Ken yelled as the two stood back to back in their fight stances.
Akuma's eyes glowed red. "Then so be it!" He charged at them.
Ryu and Ken started attacking Akuma as the user was dodging and blocking their attacks, but despite this they still kept throwing punch after punch.
"Heeeragh!" He threw two punches at Ryu and Ken, both of them hitting their cheeks. But in turn the both of them fired one fist each and hit him in both cheeks.
This was done as both grit their teeth in pain, before going back to fighting.
"Hmm..agh!" Akuma lunged his leg forward.
But Ryu and Ken both charged up their focus attacks.
"Haa…"
"Ehhhh.."
"KU!"
"There ya go!"
They both landed their hits right on Akuma, causing him to stay in a trance.
"Alright let's do it!" Ken exclaimed as he and Ryu threw their fists forward.
The first one hit Akuma in the stomach, before both of their fists hit his chin and even created a bone cracking noise.
"This is for Master Gouken!" Ryu grit his teeth as blue energy was soaring through his bones and muscles, along with Ken's flaming hot fire.
"Haaa.."
Both of them said as they charged up their uppercut.
Befire launching into the air with two powerful fists of flames. Uppercutting Akuma and launching themselves high up into the air.
"SHIN SHORYUNAKEN!!!!" They yelled.
Then, silence. Time froze at that instant.
The battle had been won.
Ryu and Ken were victorious.
"Oooohaaagh!" Akuma's yell echoed through the mountains as he landed right onto the ground.
Ken and Ryu soon landed on their feet, standing up straight.
They witnessed Akuma lying on the ground, they felt no ki from him of any sorts. Not even the smallest flicker from his heart.
Akuma was defeated.
Gouken had been avenged.
"We…did it." Ryu said as he looked at his hand. "We defeated Akuma. He's gone."
"I can't believe it." Ken was even in shock. "Took long enough." He gave a light chuckle. "Is he dead?"
Ryu narrowed his eyes towards Akuma, squinting to detect anything. "I'm not sure, I can't sense anything."
"Oh no." Ken crossed his arms. "Didn't want it to come like this."
Ryu closed his eyes. "It was the outcome of the battle, it seems his age had finally caught up with him."
Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
The two turned their attention to the Merchant that Ryu had seen before.
"Hahaha! A good show that was, bravo!" He laughed. "You two ar' pretty good."
Ryu perked up. "Oh, it's you. You saw our fight?"
"Sure did! Feel like I'd seen you two before meeting ya." The Merchant then reached into his pocket, taking out an orange crystal. "I have! So take this, on the house."
Ryu looked at the crystal, accepting it. "Alright Ken, let us break it together."
"Looks lit it should be broken." Ken nodded as he grabbed the other end. "Wherever it takes us, we'll be together."
"Eliza won't mind?" The world warrior asked.
The Master family head shook his head and response. "Haven't seen her in so long, don't want her to get harmed because of what I've been blamed for."
He closed his eyes. "You're a good man Ken. I know she's worried, but you're putting her safety first."
"I guess, it's what a good husband would do." He said.m
The two then broke the orange crystal that they were holding, create an orange flash as they disappeared.
The Merchant only stared. "Hah, how about that." He proceeded to walk away.
All that was left on the mountain was the falling snow and the body of Akuma.
He lied still on his back, no movement.
Back in the cave…
"Mm! These sausages are a great!"
Luigi exclaimed as he held a plate while sitting on the grass. Said plate had sausages, broccoli, and a sandwich.
The green plumber was sharing good with other smashers in the Cabe. After King K Rool had used one of the two orange crystals brought back by the group from Kongo Jungle, they all didn't have to worry about food rationing or starving.
"Tell ya what." Midna said as she was talking to Mipha while eating a lamb leg, Wolf Link lying by her and chewing on a bone. "Getting married here is one thing, but a bunch of food too? Sign me up, ha!"
"I agree." The Zora princess nodded as she was feeding one of her children. "I was worried we would have no food."
"Feel like we've got too much now though." Midna rubbed her stomach. "Gonna need more to fill me up though, I guess. Here Linky." She tossed her eaten lamb leg to her fiancé, who chewed on it gleefully.
"Is there any reason why he's a wolf right now?" Wild Link asked. "What's the point?"
"Eh." The twilight queen shrugged. "Sometimes I make him a wolf, sometimes I don't. He's fine either way."
Wolf Link continued gnawing on the lamb leg, but he took a glance at Midna.
His fiancé looked a bit…chubbier than usual. He noticed that there was a bit of growth on her legs, and her stomach.
Strange.
"Hey Midna, are you pregnant or something?" Junpei asked as he walked by.
Wolf Link's ears perked up.
"Nope." The Twilight queen answered. "Just chilling." She put her hands behind her head and lied on the grass by her fiancé.
"Ah, cool." He went back on his way. "Yo Chidori! You want a sandwich?"
Off in a different corner, Ganondorf was staring at his plate which had barbecue ribs on it. Hadn't even picked it up or his fork for that matter.
"Hey, you alright man?"
The king of darkness turned to his side, where Bowser was with a plate of meat. "Why do you ask? Why are you bothering me?"
"Even a grump like you wouldn't be sitting here alone." Bowser said as he sat down next to him. "Come on, worried about the kid?"
Ganondorf barely nodded. "Ever since I had met him, it's been my responsibility to look after him. And now he just disappears all of a sudden, it makes me worry…oddly."
"Well that's a bit funny, whole demon king spiel doesn't mean anything here." The Koopa king laughed. "But that's kinda because you feel a parental bond with him."
"And you know that?" Ganondorf raised an eyebrow.
Bowser swallowed and just stared at him. "Dude, I have like seven kids. Of course I know that. But my point is, I'm sure the kid'll be fine. Pretty sure."
The demon king looked at Bowser for a few seconds, before nodding. "I guess I appreciate the comfort, thanks."
"I don't know Mipha, think it's time to change it." BOTW Link was talking with her. "BOTW Link just sounds overdone, ya know?"
She nodded her head with a smile. "Of course Link, what were you thinking for a new name?"
The hero of the wild put a hand at his chin. "Hmm, I'm still Link. BOTW's a bit too out of box. How about…Hero Link?"
"It fits!" Mipha closed her eyes and smiled even more. "I loved the previous one, but you truly are a hero. It sounds wonderful."
"Thanks Mipha, love you." He kissed her on the lips, making her slightly giggle.
"Wawawawa!"
Lil Stephanie said as she was sitting in her father's lap, playing with Dark Pit.
"Dammit." The dark angel thought to himself. "She's so damn cute. Why am I acting like this?! She's just a baby, it's not like a baby's gonna make me a goody two shoes all of a sudden."
That's when Stephanie put up one of her hands, trying to touch her father's face. "Da-da!"
If Dark Pit had less self control, he would've fell to the ground in tears in an instant. Stephanie's cuteness was too overwhelming!
Stephanie blinked. "Dada?"
"Yeah Steph?" He looked at her.
"I hungwy."
That made the dark angel realize something. Stephanie hadn't eaten anything since she was born, she needed milk.
"Oh, okay." Dark Pit stood up with Stephanie in his arms and walked over to one of the tables of food. "Hmm, anything a baby can eat? Chicken, no. Fruit? No."
"Having trouble picking something?" Nia asked. "There's plenty to go around."
"Stephanie hasn't eaten, she needs milk." The dark angel said as he showed him Stephanie. Who randomly gave Noah a thumbs up, before proceeding to look at her thumb and suck on it.
The Gormotti blade nodded. "Yeah, she needs breast milk. Which means…" She gestured towards Pandora, who was still trapped inside of a bubble.
Dark Pit sighed. "Fine." He walked over to the bubble.
Pandora gave him a stern look. "What do YOU want?"
"Stephanie's hungry." He said. "And since you're her mother, you've gotta feed her."
"Hmm, now I would." Pandora nodded. "If I wasn't trapped in this bubble!"
"I'll let you out for a bit."
"Deal." The Goddess of Calamity agreed as Dark Pit opened the bubble. Immediately she flew forward and swiped Stephanie out of the dark angel's arms. "Hi pretty girl!! Who's mama's baby? You are!!"
Stephanie frowned at Pandora. "I witterawy hwate y-you."
Pandora's face dropped. "She just spoke, she's only a few hours old!"
"Already spoke with me, said she loves me." Dark Pit shrugged his shoulders and smirked. "Guess I'm still her favorite."
"Oh who cares." The Goddess of Calamity rolled her eyes. "Let me feed her." But Stephanie wasn't in her arms anymore. "What?! Stephanie where are you!"
"Up! Down! Up! Dwown! Uhh.." Stephanie said a bit as she was playing with Dark Pit. Who was moving her little arms up and down.
Pandora's jaw dropped, while her eyes turned pale with.
Pittoo smiled again. "What's this? The third time?"
"Sh-shut up!"
"Whatever." He said. "Alright Stephanie, you told me you're hungry. So mama has to feed you."
Stephanie turned around and crossed her arms, a pouty expression on her face. "No! I no wike mama!"
She then looked to Dark Pit and pointed at him with her tiny finger and a smile. "I wan dada mwilk!"
His face dropped. "Uhh, give your mom and I a second." He dashed over to Pandora and huddled up, speaking in a whispering tone. "She wants milk from me?"
"You're a male angel! You don't have any!" The Goddess of Calamity said.
"Exactly, I'm a dude. But if Stephanie's given your breast milk she'll refuse to drink it." He said.
"Then what do we do?"
Dark Pit placed a hand on his chin. "I got an idea." They broke their huddle. "Hey Stephy, dada will…get you milk." That made him uncomfortable. "But you're gonna have to turn around and put this on."
He took out a blindfold, as he tied it around Stephanie's eyes.
"Huh? Where papi go?" Stephanie asked as she turned her head around everywhere. "I can..t swee!"
Dark Pit handed Pandora a baby bottle. "Alright, do what you need to do."
Pandora looked at the bottle, and then at the dark angel. "Where did you…"
"Nia gave it to me, now fill it up."
Pandora turned around and began filling the bottle, as Dark Pit turned around and closed his eyes.
Neither of them had their eyes on Stephanie.
The little baby was sitting around, looking curiously as her vision was blinded. Until she felt something on the ground with both of her hands.
It was a piece of fruit, as she put it in her mouth.
Stephanie's adorable eyes put up, causing her blindfold to fall if due to her pure excitement. "Yum yum! Mowe! Mowe!"
She then saw an orange slice, as she crawled over to it and picked it up with her mouth. Then she saw an apple slice.
Soon enough the little baby was crawling and eating a trail of fruits, picking each one up with her mouth and moving her tiny little hands.
She then saw a chocolate chip cookie on the ground. "Cwookie!" She picked it up and bit into it.
"Yum in tum!" The baby said as she slightly flapped her wings. "Huh?"
She placed her hand on a small toy, one that another baby had her hands on. Baby Mio.
The baby looked at the newborn for a few seconds, before looking specifically at Stephanie's ponytail.
It looked like the stem of a vegetable.
"Ooh! Vweggie!" Lil Mio grabbed Stephanie's ponytail and immediately started pulling on it. "Mm! Cwome out! Urragh!"
At the moment, Stephanie started crying.
"OWAAAAAHHHHAAAAHAAAAAAA!" The dark angel kicked her legs and cried loudly, catching the attention of almost all the smashers in the cave.
Captain Falcon blinked. "See, this is why babies aren't fit for cataclysmic events like the multiverse." He received a frown from Eunie. "What? It's true? Oh don't tell me you're full a beans like that guy over there."
"I'm feeling full of beans!" Matthew said as he was sitting down, eating a bowl of chili while A was eating a carrot.
"Literally." She added.
"Hey! Lil Mio no!" Mio exclaimed as she tried to get her baby self to let go of Stephanie's hair. "That's not a vegetable!"
Dark Pit walked over, picking Stephanie right up and away from Lil Mio. He gave a stern look to Mio.
"Sorry about her." Mio apologized to the dark angel. "What?"
"You better watch yourself." He answered as he walked. "It's all good Stephy, I got you."
The Gormotti frowned in confusion. "Watch myself? What does he mean by…oh."
Dark Pit took Stephanie back over and held onto her while he sat down. He proceeded to pick up the bottle that Pandora had filled with breast milk and hold it up.
Before feeding her, the dark angel wrapped Stephanie's blue blankey around her so that she was comfy. The little baby grabbed the blanket with her tiny hands and held them close to her. "Bwan-key."
"Yeah." Dark Pit said as he started feeding her, with the little baby closing her eyes in a sleepy mood. "Blankey."
He looked to his side quickly to see Cynthia, Camilla, and Researcher Zelda looking at him with begging looks.
"You're all not gonna ogle her." Dark Pit said as he turned away. "Let me feed her."
"Just a small peak?" Camilla asked.
"She's so cute!" Cynthia exclaimed. "I haven't held a baby in so long."
"I want to hold her!" Researcher Zelda smiled.
Dark Pit gave them a blank and slightly annoyed stare. "I already said no."
An orange light appeared in the cage, with two figures appearing before everyone's eyes. Soon both Ryu and Ken appeared.
"Oh hey Ryu." Falco waved to him. "Woah! What's with the beard?! You guys age?"
"We've been back home for what's felt like ten years." Ken explained. "Surprised to see you're all still here."
Mitsuru approached the two fighters. "Hmm, so you say that time functioned differently where you were?"
Ryu nodded his head. "That is exactly how it felt."
The head of the Kirijo Group crossed her arms and nodded. "Fuuka, can you try using your persona to analyze this area?"
She nodded her head. "I'm on it!" She summoned Juno using her Evoker and sat on her knees. "Hmm, I feel that we're in a place without an end. Somewhere that isn't exactly in a reality."
"I can help." Chikara drew his Evoker and used it, summoning a strange looking persona. One that was a female body with a bottom half of papers covering it everywhere and a long blindfold of golden wrapped around her eyes. While long grey wind waved along with the wind.
"Another persona?" Minato asked as he looked up at the newly summoned persona with his hands in his pockets. "You're making me look bad, kiddo."
"One wild card makes another." Chikara shrugged. "This is Oracle, she's really useful in analyzing enemies and the environment."
Oracle's neck snapped up, as its hair began moving in stranger motions.
"Okay let's see…" Chikara had his hand on his head. "Alright, mm hm. Yeah." Oracle disappeared. "We're pretty much in the middle of every universe in existence. But they break apart often and don't always stay in the same areas. It's unbalanced."
"Good work Chikara." Mitsuru smiled and complimented her son. "So that explains why we can't leave."
"Probably how I was in Hope's Peak for a few minutes and the came out here!" Nekumaru scratched the back of his head. "Weird shit."
That's when particles of sand began leaking through the ceiling, catching everyone off guard.
"Sand?" Bell walked up to it and put his hand out. "From above?"
"Strange, I'm pretty sure there isn't supposed to be any sand here." Samus scanned it. "Wait, that's not normal sand."
"Everyone stand back!" Simon exclaimed as he whipped out his…whip. "It could be the ashes of the evil Lord Dracula! Descending into our cave as a part of his resurrection!"
"gee, it sure would be unfortunate if we gave him a s-hand. hehehehehe." Sans laughed, making others groan. "what!? got sand in your pants?"
Suddenly all of the sand started swirling up in a twisting form, creating a body that soon materialized. It was Flint Marko. "Relax, I ain't here to fight. Just here to wait I guess."
The man made of sand walked over to a rock before grabbing a soda, proceeding to sit down.
"Wait." Viridi said. "You're that Sandman guy!"
"Yep, that's me. Appeared all the way from Egypt." He said as he took a sip. "See you're all waiting too, met some of your friends there."
Viridi's eyebrows lowered. "Who?"
"Some angel and a chick with blond hair, both dressed in suits like Spider-Man." He answered her. "And some short Italian guy and another angel."
Dark Pit perked up. "Angel. Pit-Stain's alright?"
"And the blond girl…Phosphora!" Viridi exclaimed. "Wait! Pit's okay?! Oh thank the Gods and Goddesses hee okay! Where are he and Phosphora?!"
"Last time I saw em, they were in Egypt. Met after I defected from Tod. I only worked for him because he broke me outta prison." Sandman explained.
"Mario's still alive too?!" Luigi asked as he jumped up. "Where a is he?"
Cloud then interjected. "Also, why'd you defect from Dade?"
The man made of sand shrugged. "His whole "take over and conquer every universe" thing, I didn't agree with." He explained. "Lots of people are gonna get caught in the crossfire, so it ain't worth it. But I'll tell you one thing…green plumber."
"Luigi."
"Right. Anyways, Tod wants Mario."
Bowser put down his food with a dubious look. "He does? Is that why he disappeared outta nowhere?! What's so great about…oh yeah everything."
Flint took another sip of his soda. "I'll tell you guys all about it, but I've gotta ask." He sat the can down. "Where's the web head?"
In another universe…
"Alright guys, we're in another universe. Again." Spider-Man said as he was standing on top of the Greater Sacred Machine. "So what's up with this one?"
They appeared to be in a small forest like area, as some of their guests had walked out.
"Hmm." Eric said as he looked at his GPS. "Not very specific." He looked up from it. "But I'll tell you what, something's up with that house."
Spider-Man jumped off and landed on the ground. "Yeah, spider sense tells me it isn't normal. Might want someone to investigate it."
"Perhaps you should investigate." Inigo stepped out. "You're a superhero aren't you."
The wall crawler nodded. "Yeah, I'll take a look and-"
BZZZT BZZT. BZZZT BZZT.
Spider Man's pocket started buzzing. "Sorry, I gotta take this." He took his phone out. "Oh boy…" He then answered the call and put it up to his year. "Heyyy Wolvy, what's going on?"
"I should be asking YOU the same thing, bub." An intimidating and slightly raspy voice said from the phone. "Where the hell've you been?"
"Well you know I've just been…out and about, fighting crime…"
"You've been gone for a year!" He exclaimed from the other line. "Stark's out looking for ya, S.H.I.E.L.D's searching, and the professor's looking too."
Spider-Man put a finger up. "Yeah uh hold on a sec." He leaned his head towards the others. "I think this call might take a while, you guys can go ahead and search. Okay, i know I've been missing, but I 100% have a perfectly good explanation as to why…"
"That call's gonna take him a while." AVGN said. "I took a shit that was long once."
Bill turned to him with pursed lips. "We did not need to hear that."
"Well ya did." The nerd said, walking past Inigo.
Soleil stepped forward towards her father, with Lucina behind her as Inigo looked to the both of them. "How about I go in? I can see what's up with it."
"By yourself?" Inigo asked. "I don't know Soleil…" He rubbed his chin.
"It may not be safe, who knows what will be inside of it." Lucina looked back at the abandoned building. "Right Soleil?" She looked to the baby strapped to her chest, who nodded.
"Ya ya!"
Soleil let out a small "pfft" from her mouth. "I'll be fine mom. You two don't have to worry about me anymore, I know how to fight." She created a fireball in her hand. "Forgot about this?"
"Hmm." Inigo said as he crossed his arms, letting out a chuckle. "Okay, go ahead."
Lucina looked at her husband with slight surprise. "Inigo!"
"She's formidable Lucy dear." The flirtatious mercenary turned his body to her. "She's an adult after all, and she did learn from an actual God."
The Ylissean princess still didn't think it was the best idea, as she looked at Fire God Liu Kang,
"She is capable." He bowed his head. " you have to nothing to worry, princess."
Lucina glanced at Soleil one more time, before nodding her head. "Alright then, you'll be fine?"
"You know it mom!" Soleil grinned, walking over to the building to explore it. "I'll be back as soon as I can!"
"How can you not buy it? I'm literally off in some different universe right now!"
"I don't doubt that part." The caller said from the other line. "But out in some giant robot with a worm in a space suit and a gecko in a tux? You've gotta be out of your mind."
Gex looked up from his magazine. "Hey…if he needs some convincing…then I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." The lizard smiled as he crossed his legs on his chair and put his hands together.
"Who's that?"
"Oh it's the lizard." Spider-Man said. "I mean…not Doc Connors. But uhhh that lizard in the tuxedo."
"Trust me, I'm sure. Because Connors isn't even around, like all your other pals. Alright bub, you're either out of excuses or you're smokin' something. Whatever it is, kinda want some.
"Look, just go ask Strange about my situation and maybe he'll fill you in." Peter answered. "Just give me a little bit more time and it'll all be sorted out."
"Hold on." The caller backed away from the phone. "Huh? It's webs, why do you—hey! Dammit Kitty!"
Spidey's eyes widened immediately. "Wait, Kitty?"
"Peter! Where have you been?! You've been gone for what? A year now? I've been worried sick!"
"O-okay babe I know, I can explain…"
Soleil walked through the abandoned building, noticing how old or unused it must have been. There were vines growing on the walls, broken furniture on the ground, and broken windows.
"Geez, not the best it's seen for sure." The young woman said as she continued through the hallway. "Could use a lot of fixing, but it isn't that suspicious looking. Just looks abandoned. Ack!"
She moved her foot back as she looked on the ground, she had stepped on a small glass shard.
"Ow, should've worn better shoes." She said while stepping back, proceeding to press something in the wall. "Huh?"
That's when the wall that she touched began shifting, changing its shape to show some sort of opening in the wall. Brick tiles were turning horizontally and inserting themselves into the sides of it.
As the white tiles shifted, it revealed what looked to be a staircase that led downstairs. The lights were out but there wasn't much need for them due to what seemed to be a decent light source at the end of the stairs.
"Woah." The blue haired princess poked her head into the doorway. "To think that happened from accidentally pushing the wall. Maybe I'll find more downstairs." She put up one hand, lighting a fireball to light up the dark.
So Soleil made her way down the stairs, taking each step carefully as she looked around.
She stepped onto the basement ground, putting out the flame in her hand.
It seemed to be some sort of laboratory, but it looked abandoned like the rest of the home. There were wrecked tables, broken glass, and papers everywhere.
"Whoever owned this place didn't clean anything here, then why'd I feel something off about it? I didn't really sense any chi." Something else caught Soleil's attention, as she walked into one of the laboratories.
It wasn't too destroyed compared to the rest of the underground lab. There were vials on the desk, some filled with liquids while there were other technological devices around the room.
Including what seemed to be a glass capsule, one meant to fit a human being.
"Even after all this time, I don't get this world's technology or whatever it is." She said as she held up one of the devices and analyzed it. "It's all to advanced, compared to everything in Ylisse. And this." She turned her attention to the capsule. "And this? Is it a giant glass?"
Suddenly, a dart flew right past Soleil's head and hit the wall. Putting her on alert.
"Where'd that come from?!" She turned around and readied her fists.
"Relax, that was just a warning shot."
The voice of a man emerged as someone walked away from the wall. It was a man in a black and white costume, with a bullseye symbol on his forehead.
BULLSEYE
"Well well well, looks like I found a target." Bullseye leaned against the rim of the door, looking at Soleil with a smug smile as he was spinning a dart in his fingers.
"Who are you?" Soleil asked as she stayed locked in battle stance. "And what's with the costume?"
The assassin sit down on a nearby chair and kicked his legs up. "Bullseye, paid by a high bidder to take someone out. And you just so happen to hit my crosshairs."
The princess' eyebrows lowered. "Oh really, so you just throw darts?"
"Eh, I'm a man of variety." Bullseye shrugged with a chuckle. "But even so, I never miss a shot." He stood back up.
"That dart on the wall says something else." Soleil smiled as she cracked her knuckles.
"Like I said, warning shot."
Bullseye took out a shuriken and threw it right towards Soleil, as the princess quickly put a hand forward and caught it. Making it fall to the ground.
Soleil lunged forward with a fist, as Bullseye dodged the attack and took out a sai from his belt. He lunged at forward, but Soleil stopped it with her fingers and delivered an upwards kid.
She kicked the sai out of his hand as it stuck right to the ceiling.
Soleil followed up with a low kick to his foot, and then a flaming fist at his chest.
Bullseye fell back and hit the wall, his fingers clawing it.
"Urgh." He grunted, as Soleil switched her feet back and forth. "Not bad lady, but I got more where that came from."
Bullseye began throwing more sharp items at Soleil, including darts, sai, and shurikens. He truly didn't miss, but they were ineffective as Soleil continued using her marital arts skills to block each attack or deflect them.
"Well then, what about this?" Bullseye took out five playing cards, as he threw them all at her.
Soleil did a jump forward, breaking the cards with her legs and landing multiple kicks on Bullseye.
"Hyeaaa…ha!" Soleil yelled as she delivered one last kick to his face.
Bullseye was kicked right into the hallway, where a cabinet fell right on him with its contents spilling out.
Soleil landed with ease onto the floor, dusting her hands. "What about that? It looks like you just got jacked."
He weakly raised a finger in response. "I didn't even draw a jack…uhhhh." He groaned in pain.
"Well it seems like you're the only one here." The princess shrugged. "Thought I felt something much wor-"
That's when she was immediately grabbed by the back of her neck, as she immediately tried to grasp the hand that held her.
"Hmhmhmh." A voice laughed as he held up Soleil. "It seems you had gotten over your own head, fool!"
Soleil did a turn around kick but her kick was stopped by the one holding her, but now she had a look at who was holding her.
He was a tall man, wearing a black clock and hood. Along with no shirt, but red pants and black boots. Even his right arm being wrapped in bandages.
M. BISON
The former leader of Shadaloo, believed to have been defeated by Ryu when he had harnessed the power of the Hado. It had been believed that Bison was dead, but it seemed not.
"Oh? You're not exactly who I expected to find." Bison grinned as he tightened his grip. "I only stepped in as I knew that the fool Bullseye would fail."
Soleil increased the tension in her hands, slightly freeing her neck from Bison's grasp. "A sneak attack, clever and dirty."
"Oh I will show you dirty." He grinned as the arm he was holding her by combusted in purple energy, as he proceeded to throw Soleil into one of the capsules in the lab.
"What?!" She exclaimed as Bison slammed the door. "Damn you!"
"I haven't damned enough yet." He locked the capsule and pressed one of the buttons.
That's when Soleil started banging on the glass, but it was no use as it wouldn't break. Her fireballs and kick attacks didn't work either, nothing worked!
"That should keep you in there." Bison chuckled. "Not like you will come out in one piece." He began walking away from the capsule as he was headed toward the door.
Electrical energy began moving inside of the capsule, gyrating around the princess as she couldn't move. Soon enough, liquid had immediately filled the container as she continued struggling to break out.
Multiple needles emerged from inside of the case, all of them stabbing right into Soleil's body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!" Her eyes opened and her mouth let out a scream, with bubbles flowing from her mouth. The scream could be heard from only a few feet away.
Her eyes glowed red.
From inside of Soleil's body, her DNA was moving rapidly.
Soon, green blood cells started to infiltrate into her bloodstream and fuse with the double helix structures of her DNA. Breaking down into liquid that spread onto her cells like jelly spread on bread.
Her cells now started to change into multiple colors, before settling on the color of blue.
Soleil's DNA had been altered.
Bison picked up the rubble that had fallen onto Bullseye, grabbing him and pulling him up onto his feet.
"Grah." The sharpshooter grunted as he adjusted his neck. "Coulda gotten up myself ya know."
"Please, your abundance is comparable to that of a low level thug." M. Bison said as he continued his way out of the door. "Now, I say that we leave this place and teach the others what power looks like-"
"HYYYYAGH!!"
A large noise emerged from behind them as shards of glass shattered onto the floor, along with the pouring of the pink liquid that was trapped in the container.
Soleil stepped out of it with one hand leaning against the rim of the container, and one of her feet being placed out and onto the concrete floor.
"*Gasp* *Gasp*." She breathed while her arm was hanging down. "Wow, that was a…jolt I guess!"
Bison and Bullseye's eyes widened.
"I thought that would end you!" The villain said as he turned back around. "I guess you're a bit of a special case, but it matters not!" While he was speaking, Bullseye picked up a card on the ground. "You won't stay down? I'll fix that!"
Bison lunged forward with his hand glowing with Psycho Power, as he thrust it towards Soleil.
Bullseye's eyes widened when he read the sign.
Soleil threw a right punch of her own at M. Bison, their fists about to collide.
But then three sharp claws popped out inbetween her knuckles.
They stabbed right into Bison's fist.
"AAGH!" The man in the hood yelled as his feet slid on the ground. "What?!"
Soleil looked at her fist. "Woah! Since when can I do that?!"
"Your sudden ability may be strong, but nothing can stand Psycho Power…"
"Uhh Bison?"
"I've defeated many strong warriors with it!"
"Bison?"
"At least, it can, and it WILL. When I'm able to finish you and those others-"
"Hey! Jackass!"
"What?! What is so important that you have to interrupt me?" Bison turned in anger. Bullseye held up the sign he was looking at.
"Mutant experimentation lab. Do not use the capsule."
Bison's eyes widened. "No. So that is what it was for?"
They looked at Soleil, who was a bit confused.
"Wait a minute." She held up her other fist, as three claws popped out of it. "OW! Woah, I got claws now."
Soleil was now…
A mutant.
"She's got the powers of that claw guy." Bullseye said as he took out a a shotgun. "Now it's on!"
"Only a fool would use a firearm." Bison cracked his knuckles as Soleil got into a battle stance.
Bullseye shrugged in response. "Desperate times call for desperate measures, that's how the saying goes."
"Who needs a sword when I've got these? Hya!" Soleil lunged forward with her claws and swung them, she hit Bison with the first one.
Bullseye racked his shotgun and aimed it from his hip, Soleil had turned her eyes towards him. The barrel of the gun was pointed towards her.
"Ah!" She yelled as her eyes widened, when suddenly a red laser blasted out of her eyes and at the shotgun. "Ow!"
The lasers cut the shotgun in two as the front barrel came off.
The sharpshooter looked at his gun in shock, before looking back at Soleil.
She blinked. "Huh, lasers too? My lucky day!" She threw her arm towards Bullseye which cut him, as she did a spin kick at M.Bison.
Bison blocked her attacked and hit her with a high punch. He knocked her to a wall, but Soleil stuck to it by her feet.
"Psycho crusher!!" He lunged forward while absorbed in Psycho Power, he hit Soleil but she gutted through the pain. "Ah!"
She had slightly stabbed one of her claws into him. "Sorry, it slipped." She kicked him back and jumped onto Bullseye, firing a laser at his chest.
She ended it off with a strong kick to his face, causing him to fall right on his back.
"Urgh…" He groaned in pain as Soleil pointed one of her claws at his neck. He grit his teeth and turned to the villain in the hood. "Don't just stand there Bison, help me!"
Bison crossed his arms. "Please, your life is worth nothing. I'll leave this fight for now, and save it for later." He turned his head to Soleil with his pale eyes. "Don't think you've won."
He walked towards the window, before disappearing in purple smoke.
Soleil put away her claws and looked down at Bullseye with a smile. "Guess I'll be taking you in, this might do good for my esteem!"
"Kitty Kitty. I know I've been worrying all of you guys, but there's nothing you guys need to worry about." Spider-Man said while he was still on the phone.
"Don't…know if I completely trust you Peter, maybe we should head out and help-"
"N-n-n-n-noooo there's no need! You guys totally don't need to get the Avengers or Doc Strange for this." He protested while waving his hand.
"Peter, every UNIVERSE is at stake here. I'm letting the Professor know. Love you."
"Wait Kitty don't!"
She hung up.
Spidey moved the phone away from his ear with disappointed eyes. "Well dammit."
"What's wrong Spider-Man?" Eric asked as he was checking his taser. "Call from your girlfriend?"
The superhero nodded his head. "Yeah, she's got powers too. But…not the way I got mine."
Eric put his taser away. "Ah cool, my son likes those comic books. But I'm always checking which ones I'm buying for him. Lotta violence in some of them."
"Good, don't want the kid to be traumatized." Spidey looked back to the house. "Hey, what's taking Soleil long?"
"Hey everyone!"
Those outside of the Greater Sacred Machine looked at the front entrance of the large house, as Soleil walked out with Bullseye tied up and over her shoulder. "Found this guy, he tried killing me!"
She tossed him onto the ground as Spider-Man checked him out.
"Huh, Bullseye? How'd you get here?" Spider-Man asked as he had his hands at his hips. "No daring devils at night for you to hunt? No Kingpin's hiring?"
"Shut it web freak!" He yelled. "I was hired by that guy! This chick!" He looked at Soleil. "She's now a m-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Spidey shot a web at his mouth which shut him up.
"Yeah yeah, cuff him up officers." Spidey webbed over to the mech. Eric did so and put Bullseye in handcuffs, walking him over to the Greater Sacred Machine.
"Guess you didn't hit your mark." Bill said as he gave Bullseye a small punch in his arm.
"Soleil! Are you alright?" Lucina asked as she and Inigo ran up to her. "Was it just that criminal in there?"
She shook her head. "Nope! There was this weird guy in a hood too, shoved me into a capsule and now I got powers. But it's not really a huge deal." She started running back to the ship.
"Wait what? Soleil!" Inigo exclaimed, letting out a sigh. "That girl."
"We'll talk to her later." Lucina assured her husband.
What could this change mean? The change in Soleil's DNA?
Elsewhere…
We now are brought to the kingdom of E-Rantel, which had been taken over by Ainz Ooal Gown of the Sorcerer Kingdom.
But it looked…different. Very different.
Everything appeared to be made of plastic bricks, all of different shapes and sizes. Plastic bricks made for people of all ages, but primarily children.
Legos
"Hmm…I think…it's over here."
Said Yu Narukami, who had taken the form of a Lego mini figure and was walking with his legs that could only slightly move.
Behind him was Rise Kujikawa, famous Japanese pop idol and girlfriend of Yu. "I think you're right! I can sense it!"
"You have your Persona?" His head span to face her.
"Nope, we didn't have the instruction manual to build it. Silly." She gave him a smile. "No but I can't access it right now."
"GUYS!! MY BUTT IS MISSING!!"
They turned behind him to see that Youske Hanamura was jumping up and down, without his leg piece. He was also with them.
"Oh shoot! How did you lose it?!" Rise asked as she started looking around.
"I don't know it just accidentally came off!" The young man exclaimed.
Yu saw the commotion that the two were causing, as he turned around and looked up at the large castle in front of them. "This must be where Ainz is."
"Found my ass!" Youske said as he hopped onto his leg piece. "Again though, you sure this is a good idea Yu? I mean he's LITERALLY an overlord! He's a total psycho!"
Rise looked at him. "Come on Youske, Senpai's our leader! We can trust him! I'm sure he has a great idea! I think."
"You know you can just call him Yu, right?" Youske asked as the singer hopped forward.
Yu looked to him. "She can call me senpai if she wants to."
The two went onward, leaving Youske weirded out.
"We've been out of high school a year now, can't they stop?"
Yu and his friends arrived at the outside of the door to the throne room, as they had managed to get past the guards because of Rise's navigating skills and breaking the Lego walls.
But they saw another mini figure standing by the door, in a white jacket, black pants, and red fighting gloves.
JIN KAZAMA (In Lego)
Alongside him was Bowser Jr, who was holding a Lego device while in his clown car.
"Hey!" Yu said as he approached them. "Are you Jin Kazama?"
That's what the title card said.
The fighter turned to the former high schoolers and nodded his head. "Yes, I am. Who are you three?"
"We're investigators, ya know from Japan." Youske answered.
"That's where I'm from too." He leaned against the door in a fighting stance. "I was training in a field with my mother, until I suddenly ended up here. And then found this kid."
Bowser Jr was hitting the Lego phone multiple times, before he almost threw it. "Aw dang it! I died again!"
Rise zoomed over to him and looked at the phone. "That's just a piece of plastic."
Indeed it was, a simple black Lego piece with an imprint on it.
"Oh." Jr said as he threw it away. "But yeah we've been here, we're about to bust in this door to find that skeleton guy! And beat him up!"
Yu raised an arm. "Actually, since the Smash Mansion is on better terms with this guy, we thought we could get his help to figure out what's been going on."
Jin placed his Lego hand to his Lego mouth. "That does sound smart, I agree."
"Can we at least do a cool entrance?" Bowser Jr asked.
Yu took out a Lego katana out of nowhere. "Yeah."
The door busted down as they all had their weapons ready.
"Freeze plant gang the jig is up!" Rise exclaimed as she was holding a microphone, receiving weird looks from the others. "Sorry, it was a funny video Futaba showed me."
On the throne was Ainz Ooal Gown himself, and next to him was Albedo. Both of them of course, made out of Lego.
The succubus took out her Lego axe with an angry expression. "Fools! You dare enter into the kingdom of the great Lord Ainz?! I'll have your heads for this disrespect!"
"Albedo." Ainz put one hand out, causing her to place her axe down. "I believe they only wished to make…an entrance of sorts. I believe they are from the Smash Mansion. At least…four of them. What do I owe this visit?"
Bowser Jr hopped out of his clown car. "Hey so uhh, a buncha universes are gonna end and it's because of this weird guy. He's like…more evil than my dad. But obviously no one is better than my papa!"
Ainz raised his hand once again. "So that is the cause of this change in our kingdom, very well. I will set out to help you. Albedo." He turned to the succubus. "I will be out for some time, I would like you and some of the others to look after the kingdom while I am gone."
"But Lord Ainz." She said with her hands together. "Who will you take with you?"
Ainz placed a boney Lego finger at his chin. "Hmm."
Back in the cave…again…
An orange glow appeared, as the group from Lego Nazerick had appeared. Along with Cocytus and Demiurge on both of Ainz' sides. All of them were no longer made of Lego.
Ainz had a kiss mark on his head, likely from Albedo. He wanted to rub it off, but he knew it meant much to Albedo.
"Oh snap!" Falco exclaimed. "We got the overlord in the house!"
"So this is where everyone is." Ainz looked around the cave. "Intriguing."
"I do have to ask Lord Ainz, why did you choose Cocytus and I over the others?" Demiurge asked with a hand at his chest.
Ainz took a stance. "Well Demiurge, you see…"
"Bros before hoes!" He said as sunglasses appeared on his eyes, they also appeared on Cocytus and Demiurge's eyes as the three of them started doing random dances.
Samus looked slightly weirded out. "This is the same guy we were terrified of?"
The three of Nazerick stopped dancing, as Ainz cleared his throat. "Now then, joking aside it is because this may give the woman time to bond and work better together."
"My lord, I don't mean to be rude. But should we have brought Mare?"
Ainz stopped.
"Mare…I forg-I mean. He was sick! Yes, we needed him to recover."
"But we have magic that…"
"Oh that is an interesting wall over there. Perhaps it has some sort of energy?" Ainz hurried over to one of the walls.
Bowser Jr hopped out of his clown car and started scanning the room, looking for Bowser to stick out amongst the others. "Papa!" He jumped out and ran towards Bowser.
Bowser threw his plate away and opened up his arms. "Jr!" He caught his son and hugged. "There's my boy! Glad you made it! Knew that you had your dad's guts! And-"
Bowser spotted Ainz by the wall, glaring at him.
"Hrmm. That guy." Bowser mumbled to himself. "Whatever, you hungry Jr?"
While the two floor guardians were checking out the wall with Ainz, Yu and Rise were still standing together while Youske went off to talk with Junpei.
"*Sniff* *Sniff*." Rise smelled a foul odor in the air, waving her face in response. "P.U, what is that smell?"
"You like it? It's Wario's special stew!" Chef Wario exclaimed as he was stirring up the last bits of it. "Because it's done! Now who wants a taste of this stew?"
No one answered as they were too busy eating the other food that was around. Nobody was interested in the stew that he and Shokora had made.
"Uhh okay! Funky, you want some right?" He asked Funky Kong.
"You bet I do big W! And-bananas?!" He saw a pile of bananas on one of the tables. "Sorry man but I love bananas! They're like totally cool! Maybe later!" He zoomed away.
Wario watched him run off, disappointment on his face. "Dang it!"
"Hey sweetie, don't be down!" Shokora said with her hands on her knees. "It's as my great grandmother always told me, if no one wants to eat your stew. Use it as a hot tub!"
She tore off her dress to reveal a magenta swimsuit, as Wario nodded.
"Another excellent idea!" Wario took off his overalls to reveal swim trunks. "Canon ball!" He jumped into the stew pot as Shokora dived in.
Wario came up while spitting a stream of stew from his mouth. "Waha! This feels great!"
"You said it!" Shokora said with a sigh of relief. "Perfect for the skin, and the soul."
"And the mouth." Wario said as he scrunched his face up, creating bubbles. "Huh? OH MY GOD!!"
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" Wario was thrown into the ceiling by a Blooper tentacle, before being slammed down onto the ground multiple times and punched in the face by another tentacle. Processing to be dragged back down into the pot.
Shokora looked down at where he was taken down.
Yu blinked. "Aren't you going to go sane him?"
She shook her head. "My strong Wario dies often, he'll make it out easily! Wanna join us?"
Yu and Rise looked at each other.
"Well I do have trunks."
"And I got my bikini."
"What's the worst that'll happen?" The two asked at the same time as they approached the pot.
Who would want to bathe in stew?
Meanwhile…
Lastly, we see Solid Snake crawling on the ground. The ground was that of a wasteland, which only served as a small part of the bigger map.
"Alright, I'm on this island. And I haven't found anyone." Snake said as he was hiding in a bush. "A sniper rifle would help me get a better look around, but I haven't found one. This pistol's gonna have to do."
He pulled out a rare pistol with a silencer and red dot sight attached.
"I'd better find my way around here before-"
"Freeze."
He froze, as he could feel the barrel of a gun being pointed at him.
Snake stood up and turned around. "And you are? Do you even know how to fire that thing?"
It was a man with blond hair, a beard, sunglasses, and a trench coat. He was wielding an Epic Thunder Burst SMG.
He gave a perplexed look, aiming the gun down.
"Snake? Is that you?"
Mark my words, CM will be finished by the end of this summer.
