Byako wakes up. No longer was he being repaired in a cave by the mysterious figure. He sees his chest fixed,and felt his face. As during his previous memory log,it shows Byaku about to strike him. The Robot starts to touch his face,noticing his face has a scar. He sees that his surroundings consist of a forest.*
Byako:Where am I? ?:Safe. But you are lost. *He sees the mysterious figure cloaked in a Brown Robe* Byako:Who are you? *He starts scanning her and the surroundings, but to his surprise. No data of any kind came up to confirm them.* ?:it is good to see you up. But it is rather distressing that you were badly damaged. You think you can not let something like that happen again. Byako:Hmph. Well I'll try to be more careful. But I guess I thank you for getting me back up and running again. ?:You're welcome. But don't assume I will do it again. You know better than to fall into a trap. Byako:Fine. May I ask who you are? ?:Well you might get a chance if you can catch me. *She starts running off into a hole that is made of a hollowed out stump. Byako swore he saw something popping from her head. As he walks off,he ends up in a different area. He continues to walk through more of these pathways. Only to realize he couldn't find a way out.*
*Lost Woods from The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time plays*
Byako:Ugh! My sensors aren't working here! Just what is this place? Must be something magical if I can't find the way out.
*The DragonTurtle flies out of the hole and lands right at the front of the entrance of the forest. The group exits out and looks around.* Xiaomu:I wonder where we are now! Sakura S:Looks like a forest. Zelda:I believe we know what this place is like. This was a maze that protected the first temple. The Kokiri live within these Woods. I guided Link to this area to search for the forest sage. I think Link here still knows the path. Link:Mmm hmm. *The group enters the Lost Woods.* Pit:Well Link. Lead the way.
Victory Conditions:Find the pathway out. Defeat Conditions:Link & Zelda are defeated.
*After traversing the first few pathways* *Strange bushes litter some of the pathways.* Zelda:I'd figured we'd run into some of them eventually. *Plant-like creatures pop up,carrying these bushes.*
*Battle from The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time plays*
Hiromi:What are these things? Zelda:Deku Scrubs. Creatures that hide within these Woods. They attack anything coming towards them. *Purple plants sprout from the ground,resembling Venus fly traps. While spiders whose bodies resemble a large skull slowly descend from the tree tops* Zelda:Deku Babas and Skulltulas. It seems all of the indigenous creatures are coming to attack us. Link:Humph! Marth:We better get out of here. Or we risk getting ambushed. Ruto:There sure are a lot more of them here. Zelda:That is troubling. Let's keep moving forward for now.
*After taking the next four pathways* ?:You're not going any further now. *Dark Pit appears in the next pathway* *Dark Pit from Kid Icarus Uprising* Pit:Pittoo! What are you doing here! Dark Pit:For the last time, that ain't who I am named. Medusa:So what does Viridi's underling want with us? Dark Pit:Well after what she saw last time, she's sent me to deal with you. Apparently whatever those Ouma are doing is giving her a bit of a boost over her control on all things nature. In fact, I think she would like a word with you three. *Viridi appears* Viridi:Indeed. I've been watching your enemies. And it is up to me to make sure you all make an example and stop this now! All I see is more destruction of nature itself ripped apart and warped. Twisted into a disgusting mess! The fact that they are your enemies means you are also at fault for these problems. I will not stand by and allow nature to be deprived and used as evil machinations. So consider this divine justice! *Suddenly deku sticks rinse and cut some of the group in previous pathways* *Acceltating Chaos from Namco X Capcom Plays* Babyhead:What! Lady:She trapped us. Leanne:Who gives you the right! Viridi:I don't trust the words of filthy humans like yourselves. Demitiri:I believe this goddess is abusing her powers more wildly. Viridi:I'm not going to let you get away with those words,vampire! Phosphora! *A Blonde Haired Woman appears near the goddesses of nature. She had a White and blue top and had a white skirts,with what looked like a plant surrounding her left leg* Phosphora:What's up? Viridi:Help Dark Pit deal with these people. Phosphora:Yeah yeah,sure thing. Should be fun to cross paths with these guys. Frank:Interesting. Didn't even know she had more help. *Frank snaps a picture* Hsien-Ko:I'm not even going to stop if you are already going to do it anyway. Virdi:You aren't going anywhere. *Viridi appears at what seems like the end of the path* Byako:What the! The path just closed! Damn it. Looks like I'm busting my way out! *The prototype tries to slash the wall of sticks, but no matter how precise the cuts are,the branches barely looked scratched* Byako:Well that's concerning. Man what is this place? *Nutskis, Bumpety Bombs, and Flages appear around the various pathways* Byako:Well I can gather who is behind this. Viridi:Don't think this will be easy like last time. If there is one good thing I can benefit from this monstrous disaster. I found a lot of volunteers within my ranks. *Avalanches and Thors appear around the area* Ichiro:Monsters from the Great Oak Tree! Gemini:She managed to control them now! Shinjiro:I guess it makes sense given she is the goddess of nature. Ayame:Sure hit that nail pretty hard in the head,you three. Viridi:You're not leaving here under my jurisdiction! Medusa:Has she always been a literal thorn to your side? Palutena:If you only knew what happened after Pit defeated you. Phosphora:Oh and we got more help than you think. I found a few of these guys just running about back at home. However they don't at all,they do have the skills to help. *Five Mokujins appear around the areas* Jin K:Those things? I assume they were just out of place given the events. Kazuya:We won't have much problems dealing with those blocks of woods. Viridi:Well then you two. Go and clean up the work here. *Viridi appears at what looks like the exit.* Viridi:No one will dare to leave this maze.
*After defeating a few enemies* *Apples suddenly appear and fall onto the heads of some of the group* Sakura K:Apples? That's something you don't see everyday. Zelda:Strange. I don't think the Lost Woods ever grew apples before. Link*Shakes his head no* Meta Knight:These apples look familiar. Kirby you know these ones for sure. Kirby:Poyo! ?:I see you too wish to invade this place as well. *A giant tree sprouts in the middle of the maze. A face slowly appears on said tree* *Green Greens from Kirby's Dream Land plays* Meta Knight:No wonder the familiarity was on point. Whispy Woods. Whispy:I see you intend to interfere with the King again. Meta Knight:He is way overhead with this scheme. Whispy:Well it is my duty to stop you in your tracks. It has always been my duty. Gantz:Guessing this guy's an old time enemy of yours. Meta Knight:He is always the first one to try and stop Kirby from reaching any battle. It's only fair we'd run into him at some point. Whispy:Indeed. However, due to conversing with the goddess of nature. I was given the ability to uproot everywhere now. And that means I will have the means to end your adventure now. And sadly the King has failed to aid me when keeping you or Kirby at bay. So I might consider myself to be part of the Force of Nature. Karin:I would say I'd see that coming. But it would be cliche of me to say such a phrase. Ibuki:But didn't you just say it? Karin:Hmph. Whispy:I won't let any of you get to Miss Viridi. *Sir Kibbles,Poppy Bros Jrs,Kabbus, and Bronto Burts appear* Phosphora:Oh yeah. Clearly a giant tree like you would threaten them. Dark Pit:I can feel the sarcasm from the tone. Byako:Great…More problems. I swear I'm going to get myself out of here somehow.
*After getting through a few more areas on the map* Kamuz:Found you! *Kamuz appears close to what seems like the pathway to the exit* Valkyrie:Kamuz! What are you doing here! Black V:No doubt orders under Zouna. Kamuz:You think that? But this is all me. I notice you guys are all stuck here. So how about I finish the job! Xiaomu:With what, exactly? Kamuz:Heh. As if it wasn't obvious. *Honorians appear around the area This starts causing the lost woods to set ablaze* *The Gates of Solved Fates from Namco X Capcom plays* Dark Pit:What the! Phosphora:Now here's something interesting. I'm guessing this guy is just as dumb as ol' Thanatos,eh? Kamuz:Ha! I'm dumb? I just set this whole place on fire! Now let's see if you punks can get out of this. *Kamuz retreats* Viridi:Damn him! How DARE he do this! Stop this fire now! Dark Pit:Right. Reiji:This might give us more time to find our way out. But it's better that we get rid of those monsters before the whole place goes up in smoke. Xiaomu:Yeah, this place might end up as a fire safety awareness if we don't stop them soon.
*Updated Victory Conditions:Defeat all Honorians in 5 turns*
*Updated Defeat Conditions:Failing to completing current victory condition* *All enemy units will focus on attacking the Honorians. Use this advantage to weaken them while destroying the Honorians*
*After all Honorians are defeated* *All fires start to dissipate* Byako:Man, I can not get a break. Wait a second? If that happened. Then that means. *Byako strikes down the now burnt Deku Sticks, which opens the path ahead* Byako:There we go. *Byako heads out and spots a moving fire.* Byako:Seems like whoever is cleaning this mess missed a spot. *As he approaches the spot, the fire clears away, and turns out to be a familiar figure dressed in Yellow and Purple* *Greenhorn Forest from Wario World plays* Wario:Gah! That was a rotten thing to do. Good thing fire doesn't stop this garlic munching muscle machine! Wahahaha! Waluigi:Speak for yourself. *Wario looks over to see Waluigi being a pile of soot. He grabs his brother and shakes him back to his normal self* Wario:We need to get you some adventure if you want to make it out like me. Waluigi:So where are your friends even? They said they might have some gold on them? Wario:Well I was asking about those little wood sprites. But then we just poofed here. Besides I think this isn't Greenhorn like I said when we went through that door. Waluigi:Now what. Wario:How about muscling some info out of that guy. Byako:Great. The Greedy bros are here. So you guys just wound up here too. Waluigi:Maybe you're the reason why! Wario:You were built to do that,aren't you! Byako:Oh yeah. Just blame the obvious. You guys are quick to judge. Well might as well get some exercise by making you two my sparring partners. Wario:On the contrary. We're gonna get a good round being you around the bush! WAHAHAHA! Waluigi:WAHAHAHA! *Magons and Big Magons appear around the area* Wario:Wah! This place really is connected to that adventure. No matter. We can handle you and them! Byako:Was asking the same thing. This just makes things interesting.
*When Byako reaches up with the rest of the group* *Brave New World from Namco X Capcom plays* Byako:Guessing that figure did at least put me on the right track. Everyone:Byako! Byako:Seems like I missed a lot. Got some new faces here. So what did I miss? Xiaomu:Like you said. A lot. Reiji:It's good to see you. I… Byako:You alright? You seem hesitant. Xiaomu:Reiji is still coming to terms with what he thinks he should do. I think it's time you let that idea go. Besides, Byako is the only one we can count on when it comes to relying on people from their side. Right now our mission is to save Katee and destroy Saya's Master Plan. Dual:We should also deal with the plans from Masque and probably Wu Dow as well. Chun-Li:Her plan might be more nefarious than what the others have cooked up. Kogoro:I agree. It's really suspicious if she's been hanging out with Due and the Belanos. Ayame:But we're glad you're back. I think it's best to ask, how did you find us? Shion:And who repaired you? Byako:I don't know, really. A mysterious woman in a robe brought me here. She was the one who saved me and repaired my body. Well almost all of it. *Byako feels the scare on his face.* I plan to make Byaku pay. And maybe do the same while I'm at it. But yeah we need to save Katee. I can't sense her due to this whole place. Let's just get out of here and recuperate with the Doc. Kogoro:Sounds like a plan. *Byako rejoins as a Solo Unit again* *Title Call from Project X Zone plays* Chapter 97:Lost Woods
*After defeating Dark Pit* Dark Pit:You managed to beat me again! Pit:Come on,Pittoo! We have to work together if we are going to stop our world and everyone else from falling apart. Dark Pit:We can handle ourselves. Besides, no way am I doing a team up again. I got my orders. *Dark Pit retreats*
*After defeating Phosphora* Phosphora:Aw man. I thought this would be fun. Oh well. See you guys next time. Especially you little Pitty~. *Phosphora retreats* Morrigan:Now Pit. Who knew you were popular with the girls? Pit:What are you implying? Lilith:Oh we can tell. Ogami:Oh no. I can see where this is going.
*After defeating Whispy* Whispy:You are indeed powerful. *One tear appears near his left eye* But I must take my lead. Our goddess of nature needs my services. And My king will need of my aid once again when the time comes. *Whispy retreats*
*After defeating Wario* Wario:Gah! You guys are getting on my nerves beating me up! Peach:Wario? How did you and Waluigi get here? Byako:Apparently the doofus bros tried conversing with some of Wario's old friends for some gold and they ended up here. Mario:Hmmm? Luigi:Hmmm? Wario:Well It doesn't matter. I'm getting out of here before I get pummeled again. *Wario Retreats*
*After defeating Waluigi* Waluigi:Wah! I won't let you beat me again! Get me outta here! *Waluigi runs away* Peach:It's strange to find them here out of all things.
*After reaching the final area* Viridi:Darn it! It seems I can't halt you in your tracks. Okay you win! I don't need to dirty my hands beating you anyways. But never forget that I will be back. So as long as nature continues to go unearthed from your enemies. *Viridi retreats* Zelda:Well then. Shall we? I do not know if this will lead us back to the temple. But it's better than staying here. *The Group takes the exit and ends up hopefully somewhere safe*
