Smash Mansion - Conference Room
Last night Daisy receive a message from unknown source, she talked to Mario about it and now today Mario gather everyone to the Conference Room.
"So I don't know if this is true or not, it could be our enemy trying to lure us to a trap." Daisy speak first.
"Let's a-see what message is written." Mario grabbed Daisy's golden plate and read the content.
"Crystal Banana, Pokémon smuggling, Mind Control devices, Sol Emeralds, these are Neo Subspace Army current plans, does any of a-this ring a bell ?" Asked Mario.
"Yeah, when I went back home yesterday Team Rocket seems to increase their smuggling activities, maybe this is connected to it." Blue raised his hand.
"Sol Emeralds ? If it's what I think it is, then Blaze's home world is next on their list." Said Sonic.
"Crystal Banana ? If it's what we think, then Planet Plantaean is where they headed to next !" Exclaimed DK.
"What concerns me is the mind control device, it could be anything." Peach looked worried.
"There's no a-need to concern with the vague ones, so this means our next course of action is Planet Plantaean, Pokémon world and Blaze's world." Said Mario.
"Yeah about that." DK raised his hand. "I need to look for my family, where they held by Kremling Krew, we got sidetracked a lot, and this time no more distractions."
"Well I'm going for the mission, we can split into two teams, one to Planet Plantaean, and second to locate the whereabouts of our family." Suggested Diddy.
"I'm obviously going to Sol Dimension, I've seen that power firsthand, there's no way I'm letting Eggman or any of our enemies get their hands on the Sol Emeralds !" Exclaimed Sonic.
"Well I guess we'll be..." Red noticed his golden plate begin to vibrate. "Red here...Ethan !"
"Red...I need...your help..Black..thorn City." the call then get cut off.
"Ethan !? Ethan !? Sorry guys but I need to see my friend, something must've happened to him." Said Red.
"No Red, you're doing the mission, let me check on Ethan." Offered Blue.
"Okay, if he's calling for us there's a chance the enemy got to him." Guessed Red.
"There's something I would like to check as well, I wanted to go to Planet SR388, if the entire wildlife have been restored, there's a chance the X Parasites are revived as well, and that cannot happen." Samus raised her hand. "And for this mission, I'll be going alone, a touch from X Parasites is enough for them to kill their prey."
"Understand." Said Mario. "So anyone else ? Any place you wanted to go ?"
"Yeah, sorry Mario, but Stephen and I have to get back to work again, I'm afraid we won't be able to join you as often anymore." Chelsea raised her hand.
"I've been away from my family for too long, now that I realize I can come here anytime, I think i'm going home for a bit." Said Olimar.
"Me too, I think it's save for me to come back home again." Said Ken.
"Understand, we still dont a-know when this mission is over so, make sure to visit your friends and families and spent time with a-them." Answered Mario.
"We need to say one more thing, yesterday we use the Beanstar to well locate our friends and families, but it didn't work." DK raised his hand.
"What do you mean it didn't work ?" Asked Lucina.
"We make a wish about that, turns out the enemy made wish too, they wish so that we can't wish an advantage over them, so we can't just wish for their location to be discovered or teleport them here." Answered Dixie.
"So they made a wish about a-that huh ? Looks like we're a-not the only one being too careful." Pondered Mario.
"We made similar wishes after getting the Beanstar after all." Said Isabelle.
"Before we ended this meeting, we need to know who's going where." Said Mario.
"Well I'm going to investigate Team Rocket." Red made his decision, "anyone else like to come along ?"
"I would ! I can't forgive the act of animal smuggling, Red take me with you, and don't you dare say no." Henry offered himself.
"Okay Henry you're in, just don't torture Team Rocket too much." Red give him a condition.
"No promises.." Henry said in a cheerful tone.
"I'd like to take part as well !" Exclaimed Popo.
"Count me in too Red, there's no way we let Team Rocket's crime goes unchecked." Green offered to come as well.
"So it's me, Green, Popo, and Henry, well I think it's better to move around in small group, I'll give Isabelle a call if I needed backup." Said Red.
"For the Planet Plantaean mission would be me Diddy Kong, so who else is coming ?" Asked Diddy.
"I-i'll go." Luigi raised his hand.
"Let me go as well." Followed by Tails.
"If it's another planet, I'm willing to offer my help, the Halberd should be sufficient, just in case there's going to be a spaceship battle." Said Meta Knight.
"You know what Diddy, I change my mind, I'm joining this mission, Dixie can I leave you to locate everyone else ?" Asked DK.
"Um...sure, but why the change of minds ?" Asked Dixie.
"I may be thinking too much but, if K. Rool is on Planet Plantaean I don't want him to start feeling suspicious because i'm not there confronting him." Answered DK.
"Right, I get it, he may questioned why you're not there to stop him." Stated Dixie.
"Exactly, so Dixie can I entrust you with this ?" Asked DK.
"Yes, leave it to me." Dixie accept the mission.
"Rest assured, Kazooie and I will take part on this mission." Banjo volunteer to join.
"If I must." Said Kazooie.
"And so am I." Amy also volunteer.
"I'm taking part as well." Offered Dedede, "it's not often you have a presence of a king accompany you."
"So who's coming to Johto with me ?" Asked Blue.
"I'll go." Roy raised his hand.
"Let me come too, that kid doesn't sound well, at least I can use healing magic to fix him." Offered Serena.
Incineroar got up from it's seat as it offer to come along as well.
"I'm going as well." Offered Princess Peach.
"Thanks you guys." Answered Blue. "Well that's settled, going to Johto will be me, Roy, Serena, Incineroar, and Peach."
"All that's left is the Sol Dimension, anyone interested ?" Asked Sonic.
"Fox raised his hand." Sure i'm coming along.
"I'm going." Bowser Jr raised his hand.
"You taking part Jr ? I do hope you won't mess around with the Sol Emeralds." Sonic is feeling suspect.
"Are you being suspicious of my son ? I raised him to be a great man just like myself, Jr is a very trustworthy ally for this mission." Bowser claims of his son just make everyone else more suspicious.
"Be like yourself Bowser ? Yeah that is not reassuring." Replied Sonic.
"Why don't a-I come along, to keep an eye on Bowser Jr." Offered Mario.
"Yeah, that would be best." Agreed Sonic.
"Don't worry dad, i'll be sure to get us some emeralds." Jr whispered to Bowser.
"Sorry for not joining with you Sonic, and I know this is Blaze we're talking about, and we want to help her." Tails feeling apologetic.
"It's all right, you and Amy needed elsewhere, Blaze will understand." Sonic being understanding.
"And Samus will a-be going alone yes ?" Asked Mario.
"Yeah, and I still stands by my decision, X Parasites are nothing like all of you have ever faced before." Warned Samus. "Unless all of you want to be part Metroid."
"Well that's all decided, I guess meetings a-over, although I won't oppose if anyone want to a-do independent investigation, make sure to tell Isabelle beforehand." Said Mario.
Hallway
One by one everyone left the conference room, and by then Cherche called out to Red. "Red, over here I remember what Excellus said !"
"Really what did he say ?" Asked Red.
"That the mole doesn't tell him anything about our mission in Valm." Explained Cherche.
"Okay let's confirm this with Robin." Red called out to Robin to confirm Cherche's words.
"Really ? Validar said the same thing, then does this means the mole doesn't inform them ? Then again it's possible the mole would get caught." Asked Robin.
"That makes sense, if the mole informed them, that means it would confirm that there's a mole among us." Said Red.
"That's the thing, informing them of our plan would mean the enemy have an advantage over us, and at the same time exposing the mole to us, but because that's not what happen, we managed to successfully execute our plan, but the mole can keep their identity hidden." Said Robin.
"We managed to blindside Grima, rescuing Plegians, getting Frederick and Cordelia back, foiling Excellus from spreading the Grimleal faith, while our victory isn't absolute we managed to secure more wins." Said Cherche.
"Then this doesn't makes sense, is covering their own identity more important than victory for the Neo Subspace Army ?" Pondered Red. "I mean what does it matter if the mole gets exposed now unless they have other plans than just leaking intel ?"
With the three talking to themselves, they fail to realize Panne eneded up overhearing they're conversation.
"What's this about a mole !?" Panne overheard the discussions and this bring everyone to alert as she approached the three.
"Panne that's..." Cherche tried to answer.
"Is this why several of our missions ends in failures ? There's a mole among us ! And you didn't say anything about it !?" Yelled Panne. "And I didn't expect this from you most of all Robin."
"Look, we just found that out ourselves !" Exclaimed Robin.
"A mole you say ! Who else knows about this !" Bowser approached the three.
Bowsers roar made Kitty jumped from Isabelle's shoulder.
"You better not accuse me, I meant what I said about atoning !" Ganondorf defending himself with several people looking at him.
"Actually I knew." Mario raised his hand.
"You do ?" Asked Red.
"I a-thought the enemy just playing mind games, that's a-why I dismissed it." Explained Mario.
"I've helped Mario to try to uncover the mole but we didn't find any." Said Rosalina.
"And how do you do it ? By mind reading all of us ?" Asked Samus.
Rosalina only nodded in shame.
("It's not just Rosalina, I did it too.") Mewtwo raise it's hand.
"Great, now what ! Are we suppose to suspect each other now ? And did you find the mole ?" Asked Cpt. Falcon.
("Unfortunately I didn't either.") Replied Mewtwo.
Tensions begin to escalate as the heroes become suspicious of each other.
"Wow, things are getting heated up, I better came back once this is all over." Wario sneaked out and pull his golden plate. "Hello Mona, let's just visit the Golden Pyramid today, other time is bad for me, you can today ? Great I'll be there immediately !" Wario teleport to Diamond City.
Diamond City - Mona's Mansion
Wario teleported directly to Mona's front door and ring the doorbell.
The door opened and a red headed teenage girl wearing a red dress and white coat open the door.
"So you're a-ready Mona ?" Asked Wario.
"Since we're only doing light exploration, I don't need to prepare much, so yes I'm ready despite the abrupt call, but what's with the sudden change of plans ? You're lucky I'm not doing anything today." Answered Mona.
"There have a-been some a-problems on my side, anyway let's a-get going, your car." Wario quickly changed the subject.
Mona opened her garage door and take seat on her convertible with Wario sit next to her.
Mona turn on the car and begin driving.
Road to Golden Pyramid
Mona make a small talk with Wario while she still driving. "Say Wario, we haven't seen you for a while, how long did you say your vacation is ?"
"Oh a...you a-know, a month, and a-also I did some treasure hunting during my a-vacation..." Answered Wario.
"Treasure hunting ? I wish you'd taken me along." Mona sounded disappointed.
"It's a-not fun and games, I have to deal with monsters such as Rudy, Black Jewel, Golden Diva, Shake King, Terrormisu, and Syrup." Retorted Wario.
"I guess I need to be more prepared, I am not a fighter like you Wario." Said Mona.
After a while, Wario and Mona finally reached the Golden Pyramid, which have been reduced to ruin.
Golden Pyramid
Once a glorious structure now reduced to mere ruins, this spot are now attracting treasure seekers from all over the world.
Wario and Mona went inside the ruins, once they set foot they realized the inside is really dark.
"Oh no, I didn't bring any flashlight." Remembered Mona.
"Good a-thing you have a-me with you." Wario transform into Arty Wario and draw flashlights for Wario and Mona to use as the flashlight coming out from the canvas.
Wario and Mona turn on the flashlight and went in deeper.
"This place is huge." Said Mona. "People can get lost in here."
"Hmph for amateurs maybe, but I'm a veteran." Bragged Wario.
"Well I expect no less from the great Wario." Teased Mona. "So how did you know about this place ?"
"Read it in a newspaper, and then once I get a-here a black cat acting like a guide to me, somehow already know the interior of this place...wait black cat ?" Wario suddenly stopped moving.
"Wario ? What's wrong ?" Asked Mona as she looked behind.
"That black cat ! Now I remember why it looks familiar ! Sorry Mona but I have to cut this trip short !" Wario grabbed his golden plate.
"Wait ! What do you mean cut the trip short !" Mona angry that Wario seemed to blow her off, but it's too late as Wario teleport back to the mansion, leaving Mona alone.
"Wario ! Wario ! You did not just leave me alone here !" Yelled Mona.
Mona fuming at Wario for suddenly leaving her, however as she calmed down a bit something fall behind her, startling her. Mona slowly turn around to see a beautiful earrings among the rubbles.
"Wow these are beautiful." Mona tried on the earrings. But then something happened as Mona somehow feeling mesmerized by the earrings, as she is compelled to put the earrings on, Mona being taken over by someone or something.
"Mhmhm...hahahaha ! Wario, for defeating me I will have my revenge." A female voice using Mona's body echoed throughout the Pyramid.
Smash Mansion
"This isn't getting anywhere, let's just calm down a bit." Peach tried to mediate the situation, however things not working out as the heroes keep testing each other.
"I should've use this earlier." Young Link wear the Couple's Mask as it emits a pacifying wave that cease all hostilities. "Everyone, please stop and let's think clearly."
"Okay, you're right Young Link, I don't a-know why I'm feeling calm, but everyone let's go over this calmly." Mario tries to get everyone back on track.
"I need to speak myself." Ken raised his hand. "During our mission in China I overheard F.A.N.G said the mole doesn't tell him anything about we're bringing Link and Zelda with us, that's how we're able to launch a surprise attack on him.
"The same with Excellus, he said no one informed him of us raiding Fort Steiger." Said Cherche.
"Validar also said the same thing, that he's shocked how we're able to formulate a plan to blindside him in seconds." Added Robin.
"The last mission was to Ylisse and China, that can't be coincidence." Said Mac.
"And not to mention we were able to do that because we wish for Twink to stop time, therefore buying us time to formulate a plan to blindside F.A.N.G and Validar." Added Daisy.
"Now, what is 100% sure is that everyone is present at the Conference Room, and no one acted suspiciously." Said Ganondorf.
"Well...except for Kitty it seems." Point out Roy. "I mean think about it, Peepers, Duck, Pikachu, all our animal allies can move, but Kitty the only one subjected to Twink time stop and bbecause of thatcKitty unaable to do anything."
("Hold on, I've checked everyone's mind, but Kitty is really the only one I never bother checked, I just assumed it's just a random cat Vaike rescued, so I see Kitty of no importance.") Realized Mewtwo.
At that time Wario return to the mansion. "Where is that cat !"
"Wario ? Were a-you gone somewhere ?" Asked Mario.
"That's not a-important ! I remember why Kitty looked familiar ! She was the cat that guide me during my travels at the Golden Pyramid !" Explained Wario.
"Wait so Kitty is a cat from your world ?" Asked Mac. "But what's that have anything to do with what happened now ? We are talking about a possible mole in our midst."
"Yes no a-doubt about it ! And Kitty isn't a cat, she's a princess turned into a cat !" Exclaimed Wario.
"Wait ! Does anyone seen Kitty !?" Shouted Lucina.
"Well Kitty joined us at breakfast, but after that, who knows where she'd gone." Answered Ike.
"I'll teleport her now." Rosalina used her powers to teleport Kitty, however nothing seemed to happen. "Strange, I can't teleport Kitty here."
"Kitty must've been protected by the enemy wish ! Just like we can't wish for our friends and families to be sent here !" Exclaimed DK.
"Rush you chased Kitty a lot, can you locate her scent ?" Asked Mega Man.
"Peepers, you also chased Kitty a lot, help us find Kitty !" Asked Mac.
Both Rush and Peepers begin to search the mansion.
("I'll help locate Kitty.") Mewtwo using it's psychic powers to sense Kitty's presence.
"Wait Isabelle, you were the ones that holding on to Kitty earlier right ?" Asked Lucina.
"Yeah, but after Panne overhear Red talked about the mole Kitty suddenly jumped and run." Replied Isabelle.
"She could be anywhere in this huge mansion." Said Erven.
"Calm down, if Kitty is the mole then she should've been sent here for a purpose." Red tried to calm everyone so they wont act rash.
"She must've leaked our mission briefing, that's why sometimes our enemies one step ahead of us." Said Diddy.
"But if that's all ? Isabelle said Kitty run away the moment Panne overheard us talking, Kitty knows she can't keep up the charade anymore, what would a mole do when he or she about to get exposed ?" Asked Red.
"Escape ?" Answered Luigi.
"Does Kitty have secondary goals other than leaking information ?" Asked Snake.
"Purpose, purpose, Isabelle do you have the Chaos Emeralds with you ?" Asked Sonic.
"No, I kept it at the archive...Room." Isabelle's face turned pale.
"Is Kitty really going after the Chaos Emeralds ?" Asked Ike.
"It doesn't matter if it is or not, we can't let a powerful object fall to their hands either way !" Exclaimed Samus.
"We have to get there quickly !" Sonic run towards the basement with the others soon followed.
Archive Room
Rush and Peepers arrived here earlier, then Sonic, and the rest of the heroes.
"The door's locked." Isabelle can't oone the door.
"Let me." Ganondorf used his magic to magically opened the door. This let the heroes entered the room.
Inside they saw Kitty looking at the emeralds.
"The jig is up Kitty ! Or should I say Princess Shokora !" Exclaimed Wario.
Young Link put on the Mask of Truth to see Kitty's true form. "Her true form is a red-haired woman and dressed like a princess."
"Don't bother staying at that form ! You're busted !" Wario point his finger.
Knowing she has no choice Kitty revert to her true form, just like Young Link description shes a young girl with red hair wearing a fancy dress. "So you finally got me, but it's too late for that now."
"Shokora was it ? Have you been leaking intel to our enemies ?" Asked Red.
"I did, it was my mission after all, I cannot refuse." Answered Shokora.
"You're a part of Warrior of Fallen Stars isn't that right ?" Asked Wario. "Because you already died the moment I defeat Golden Diva."
"Yes, that's why I have no choice but to obey their every command." Confirmed Shokora.
"Be that as it may we can't let you get close to the emeralds !" Wario charged at Shokora as she create a barrier which Wario crashed into.
Rosalina teleported the emeralds from Shokora's hand to hers. "You're not getting this."
Shokora snapped her finger and conjure a bugle, the bugle begin to play ear deafening music as the heroes covered their ears in pain, causing Rosalina to drop the emeralds
Seizing the chance Shokora transform into a small but large jawed dragon and devoured the emeralds and fly out of the basement.
Wario run towards the bugle and destroy it with his fist.
"Don't let a-her get away !" Exclaimed Mario as the heroes scramble around the mansion.
("Hold on !") Mewtwo stopped everyone. ("If she's a part of Neo Subspace Army, she must have a black plate to teleport out of here.")
("Do you a-think she escape already ?") Asked Mario.
("I can't sense her presence, no doubt from the enemy's magic, but everyone we should emit the teleportation jamming wave at the same time while all of us are split up, we could cover the entire mansion with it.") Suggested Mewtwo. ("For the first timers, all you need to do just focused on creating the wave just like how you always use your golden plates.")
The rest of the heroes agreed and use their golden plates to emit the jamming wave.
("I can feel the wave have covered the entire mansion, Shokora can't teleport out of here now.") Stated Mewtwo.
"Then now's our time to look for her ! Everyone search the mansion for Shokora !" Commanded Rosalina as the heroes searching the mansion.
Vacant Room
"I can't leave this place, they must have jammed my teleportation function." Shokora tried to teleport to no avail. "But this only affect the black plate teleportation function right and not my magic right...? Then again I am stuck here either way, i'm unfamiliar with the location outside the mansion, i cant just teleport to random, unknown location."
Shokora's black plate vibrates as it receive incoming message, Shokora tapped her black plate as it's Hades who call for her.
"Shokora, are you done yet ? And why are you back to your true form ?" Asked Hades.
"They finally figure me out, and they jammed the teleportation function." Explained Shokora.
"So you finally got busted huh ? Then this is time to enact our grand plan at that mansion, I'll send backup, try to survive while you still can, and by that I mean try not to get resurrected or turned into a trophy." Said Hades. "The Intel you give about the mansion are very valuable, we can't afford to lose you now." Hades ended the conversation.
Other Vacant Room
"If she can change her form, it would be difficult to find her, if anything she could be one of us." Samus opening the drawer.
"Young Link is wearing the Mask of Truth, she can't hide from him at least." Lucina is looking under the bed.
Hallway
"Alright Primids ! Search every nook and cranny of this mansion ! Do not let that princess escape !" Bowser deploy the Primids to search the mansion.
Mewtwo connect it's senses to the Primids, seeing using their eyes.
Vacant Room
Shokora quietly opened the dresser to get out as she sneak a peek at the window. "As much as I'd rather stay and get caught, I can't disobey an order, wait that's !?" Shokora get down as she saw Charizard flying around the mansion.
"I guess they're searching for the mansion grounds too, I can fight them, but I'm heavily outnumbered." Shokora got up and looked at the window again. "Guess teleporting outside isn't an option anymore."
Unknown to her, a Primid has entered the room Shokora use for hiding, and as Mewtwo using the Primids to be it's eyes, Mewtwo teleported immediately.
("Found you.") Mewtwo tapped Shokora on the shoulders as she yelped. ("Don't bother thinking of escaping, I told everyone to unleash the teleportation jammer at the same time.")
"So that's why it doesn't work, my black plate must've been hit by one of those waves." Said Shokora.
("I would insist that you surrender, but that's never going to happen is it ? Not unless your master said so.") Said Mewtwo.
"Yes, so I'm sorry." Shokora shapeshift into her cat form and run to elude Mewtwo, however the pokemon used telekinesis to lift Shokora and restrain her.
("Your cunning is commendable at least, I assume you're just some random cat rescued by one of our companions, to the point I didn't even bother reading your mind, I would've discovered you sooner if I paid more attention.") Lamented Mewtwo.
"It won't really matter, I'm already protected by a spell from Hades to prevent detection, only equal power can bypass the spell." Explained Shokora.
("Come to think of it, whenever Palutena appears, you always nowhere to be seen.") Realized Mewtwo.
"She's powerful enough to see through me or at least suspect me, but because of the scenario we planned I'm just an unimportant cat who happened to be rescued by Risens so i at least managed to hide from the rest of you." Continued Shokora.
("And that random scenario what let you fool us for this long, but that's about to over.") Said Mewtwo.
"Unfortunately I was ordered not to make your victory easy." Shokora teleports away, freeing herself from Mewtwo's telekinesis.
("She teleported, the jamming wave only nullify the plates teleportation function, not powers, well then it's obvious what needs to be done.")
Foyer
Not knowing where to go, Shokora teleport to the foyer, she tried to open the front door but it's locked.
"Guess I have to destroy this door." Shokora create a ball of light energy and as she's about to blast the door, she got punched by Bayonetta's Wicked Weave.
"Going somewhere ?" Bayonetta walked slowly towards Shokora.
Knowing Shokora unable to win against the heroes she decided to harness the Chaos Emeralds powers, as she took two of them, she got massive power boost.
Shokora swing her arms as she shoot a crescent shape light beam, which Bayonetta dodged, but not the kind of dodge that trigger Witch Time, Shokora fire a powerful beam of light at Bayonetta, Bayonetta got hit and the impact caused her to hit a wall behind her, Shokora use the chance to teleports away.
"No good, with her using the emeralds she's going to be hard to beat." Bayonetta grabbed her golden plate and informed the others about Shokora using the Chaos Emeralds.
Dining Hall
Shokora reappear in the dining hall, there's Jade, R.O.B, and Cpt. Falcon inside.
Shokora immediately telekinetically lift the large table and hurled it towards the heroes, however the three able to dodge the flying table.
Jade and Cpt. Falcon about to land a punch as Shokora cast a barrier on herself, intercepting their attacks, Shokora shattered the barrier herself and the impact launched the two crashing down.
R.O.B shoot the Diffusion Beam as Shokora teleport out of the way.
She reappeared near R.O.B and use lightning magic on him, electrocuting R.O.B and shortcircuiting him.
The fight has alert the heroes nearby to the dining hall, Dark Pit, Meta Knight, Yoshi, and Starfy was the first to arrive.
Yoshi extend it's sticky tongue and grabbed a chair, Yoshi then spin it's body to throw the chair at Shokora, however she used a barrier to protect herself from the incoming chair, hitting the barrier instead.
"Dark Pit, Starfy, keep her busy, I'm contacting the others." Whispered Meta Knight as Dark Pit and Starfy nodded.
"Okay Starfy, let's see what you're made of." Dark Pit shooting barrage of arrows, but Shokora intervene by conjuring magical arrows as well.
Starfy perform the Ultra Star Spin as he deflect the arrows away, allowing several of Dark Pit's arrows to reach Shokora as she conjure another barrier.
Starfy fly above Shokora's barrier and dive headfirst onto the princess sending her crashing to the ground.
Dark Pit and Yoshi rushed towards Shokora as Yoshi extend it's tongue to grab one of the emeralds, however Shokora used her magic to turn Yoshi's tongue less sticky, Yoshi is unable to pull the emerald to it's side.
Dark Pit fire his arrow at the other emerald, knocking it off Shokora with Starfy grabbing it and runs away.
Realizing her power reduced Shokora summon the Vizorman figure and blast a wide ranged rainbow laser, both Dark Pit, Yoshi, and Starfy got blasted and fell down.
Shokora quickly trying to grab the emerald, however Meta Knight having finished calling for backup managed to grabbed the emerald also as both hands touched the emerald.
Meta Knight telekinetically lift the chair and threw it at Shokora, causing the princess to get hit by the chair, allowing Meta Knight to take the emerald.
Meta Knight decided to harness the Chaos Emerald power, boosting his own power, now Meta Knight and Shokora are on the same level.
As both fighters stare at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move, Greninja emerge from the shadows behind Shokora and successfully steal the emerald.
Shokora got caught off guard as her powers returned to normal.
Shokora once again summon the bugle, but before it can play any tunes, Jade who got up quickly destroyed it, as Cpt. Falcon, Dark Pit, etc have woken up.
Shokora is cornered and attempt to teleport, however before she can do anything (TP)Zelda, (LTP)Zelda, and (OoT)Zelda used magical binding on her.
Mewtwo teleport near Shokora and use Disable, immobilizing her, not long after the rest of the heroes arrived at the dining hall.
("I immobilize her with Disable, she won't be able to bother us for a while.") Said Mewtwo.
"And the emeralds are back on our hands." Meta Knight and Greninja present the emeralds.
"So what do we do with her ? Trophify her ?" Asked Bowser.
"No a-wait, this is our chance to save a-her." Suggested Mario. "She can't a-fight a resurrection attempt like this, so this is our a-chance !"
"Well leave this part to me, I will play the Song of Souls with my ocarina, once the song is done Shokora will be our ally." (LTP)Link behind to play his ocarina, however as the song is finished nothing seemed to happen.
"Doesn't seem like anything happened ?" Asked Jade.
"Weird, let me try other songs." (LTP)Link played his ocarina only for no special effects to happen.
"Is there something wrong with the Ocarina ?" Asked Cpt. Falcon.
"Yeah, there is something wrong ! This isn't my ocarina ! This is a fake !" Exclaimed (LTP)Link. "This is just an ordinary ocarina !"
"We'll figure out what happen to your ocarina later, but first leave this to me, with my Kazing spell I'll brought her back to life and free her from the enemy control." Erven walked closer to Shokora.
Still under Disable effect Shokora cannot move no matter what she do and so this means she's unable to resist the Kazing spell.
As Erven come close he got shot in the shoulder by a pulse beam as he fell to the floor.
Unfortunately the enemy reinforcements have arrived.
A magician like robot can be seen from the window floating outside.
"That's the Egg Bishop ! One of Eggman's robots !" Exclaimed Sonic.
Soon the wall gets blown up as a horde of Badniks entered the mansion. Such as Ball Hog, Batbrain, Bomb, Burrobot, Caterkiller, Chopper, Jaws, Buzz Bomber, Crabmeat, Moto Bug, Newtron, Orbinaut, Spikes, Splats, Rollers.
As the heroes ready to face off with the Badniks Erik looked at Shokora surrounded by monsters.
The monsters looked like disembodied hands emerging from the grounds with gray color.
"Those are Hardy Hands !" Shouted Erik, as he tried to defeat the monsters, however Erik got intercepted by the Badniks the Hardy Hands grabbed Shokora by the leg and made a run from the heroes.
World of Trophy
("I won't let her get away !") Mewtwo teleported to go after Shokora, Mewtwo managed to teleport near Shokora and about to destroy the Hardy Hands, but then...
"Chaos Control." As these words were uttered time is stopped and Mewtwo got a swift kick as time returned to normal.
("You are...")Mewtwo take a good look at it's assailant, the roboticized Shadow the Hedgehog.
Shadow quickly dashed and perform barrage of punches at Mewtwo, one final hit Shadow punch Mewtwo so hard it send the artificial pokemon flying.
However Mewtwo recovered and as Shadow isn't done yet, Mewtwo teleports away as Shadow punched the ground, missing his target.
Shadow looked around but Mewtwo teleport behind him and attack Shadow with Psycho Cut, after that Mewtwo stretch it's arm to strangle Shadow and slammed him to the ground repeatedly.
Shadow extend his hand and shoot Chaos Spear at Mewtwo, the pokemon got pushed back and releasing it's grip on Shadow, Shadow infused his fists and legs with chaos powers and begin pummeling Mewtwo.
Shadow punched Mewtwo repeatedly and as Shadow about to deal with the finishing blow, Mewtwo teleported away, dodging Shadow's final punch.
Mewtwo shoot Aura Sphere at Shadow, with the projectile exploded on contact, Shadow got pushed back, but he still fly at Mewtwo, and as Mewtwo also ready to fight back Shadow stopped in his tracks which confuses Mewtwo.
Mewtwo looked behind to see Jasper teleports Shokora away with his black plate.
Mewtwo turned around as Shadow stopped fighting and teleports away as well.
("Curse it ! I fail to stop them.") Mewtwo curse itself as it teleport back to the mansion.
Smash Mansion
The Mansion is overridden by enemies, specifically Badniks.
However in the ensuing chaos a robotic figure, looked a lot like Sonic stand outside the Archive Room, the robotic figure destroyed the door and went inside.
Archive Room
Once inside the robotic figure waste no time went to the computer and begin downloading.
As there's so many information, the download process take a while, however the robotic figure have a Chaos Emerald in its possession and harness it's power, supercharging the download process and completing it in seconds.
Once all the information needed is downloaded, the robotic figure emits a wave that signals mission complete.
Smash Mansion
Back at the mansion the robots all stop fighting and retreating.
"They're all leaving ?" Samus confused by the change of attitude.
And at that time Mewtwo returned. ("I apologize everyone, I fail to secure the princess.")
"We'll get her back next time." Assured Red.
"Well that's well and all but, now we got to fix all this mess." Samus pointed at the destroyed furniture, walls, and floors.
The heroes golden plate begin to vibrate, as the heroes picked it up, and see a hologram of Mario wanting to see everyone at the foyer.
Foyer
Everyone gathered as Mario ready to speak. "Well everyone this is unexpected, but I a-believe the mission should a-be a priority, those of us not going anywhere should stay and clean the mansion first, or are there any objection ? Anyone a-hurt from the battle ?"
"A little, but I believe we can all go." Answered DK.
"Still, we spent a lot of energy surviving that battle, so let me help you up." Serena casts Omniheal, healing everyone at the foyer.
"I haven't used this spell in ages, I wonder if I still got it." Bayonetta extend her hand at the couch, and it magically repaired itself, all the couch stuffings fly bavk inside and the tear closed itself. "Looks like I still got it."
"Wow, Bayonetta you just fixed that sofa ?" Ness is awed.
"This is called Restoration Magic, I can repair anything with this, and i remember it helps me defeats that accursed fairy king." Said Bayonetta.
"Well Bayonetta, it'd be nice if you could stay and help fixed the mansion ?" Asked Mario.
"That's fine." Agreed Bayonetta.
"Well everyone let's a-start cleaning !" Exclaimed Mario.
"Uuh, seriously ? I have to clean a place for a-free ?" Groaned Wario.
"Stop whining and get to it...by the way where were you when everyone was arguing ? You just teleported between Bowser and Red ?" Asked Chelsea.
"Well I a-was...oh a-no I left Mona alone at the ruins !" Wario remembered.
"Mona ? Is that a girl or are you referring to the Phantom Thief cat member ?" Asked Chelsea.
"Not that cat ! Mona is my employee, the one i take to the fallen Golden Pyramid, when I finally remember who that cat is I left Mona there !" Exclaimed Wario.
"You left a girl at an abandoned ruins !? Why didn't you just bring her here !? And why did you bring her to an abandoned ruins in the first place !?" Chelsea getting more inquisitive.
"I don't have a-time for these questions ! I need to return to Mona !" Wario frantically looking for his golden plate.
"Wow, you sounded like you care about her." Chelsea sounded surprised and starting to have resoect for Wario.
"Of course I a-do ! she's the only employee I had who is rich already, that means she's the least likely to ask for a raise !" Wario found his golden plate and teleported back to the Golden Pyramid as Chelsea's opinion of Wario return to low again.
Golden Pyramid
Wario return and goes to look for Mona, however Mona hasn't move from her spot.
"Mona you're still a-here ! Glad you didn't go anywhere !" Exclaimed Wario.
"Because I know you'll be coming for me, now let us explore the rest of the Pyramid." Mona grabbed Wario's arm and take him deeper to the Pyramid.
As they went in further, the ceiling collapse and the path forward is blocked.
"Let's try the other way." As Mona about to turned around her pocket is ringing. "Oh excuse me, this got to be my phone."
Mona kept her distance from Wario and picked up her phone.
"Wow, to think her phone got services down a-here ?" Wario looked at his phone to find no bars in his.
"What do you want !" Mona whispered angrily.
"You said you only scoping the situation Golden Diva, we all want revenge on Wario too so you better not hog him to yourself !"
"Alright alright Terrormisu, I hear you." 'Mona' turned off her phone as she return to Wario.
"Sorry about that, it was a very important call." 'Mona' faking a smile.
"Hey, how is your a-phone can receive a call down here ?" Wario is getting suspicious. "There's no a-bar in mine."
"Oh..I use data on my phone." 'Mona' came up with a lie.
"Hmm.." Wario then noticed something else about 'Mona'. "Hold a-on did you have those earrings when we came a-here ?"
"Oh this ? I find it here, isn't the earrings pretty ? And looks good on me ?" 'Mona' quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, and i remember it resemble the earrings I got when exploring this place." Wario stared at Mona.
"Maybe there's more of this than you thought ?" 'Mona' is getting nervous.
Just then 'Mona's' phone begin to ring again.
"Excuse me while I take this call." 'Mona' quickly run away again as she picked up her phone.
"What !" 'Mona' Yelled in a whispering tone.
"Golden Diva abort mission ! Shokora have been exposed !" Exclaimed Terrormisu.
"What !? No wonder Wario being suspicious, looks like i have no choice." Realizing Wario may be on to her Golden Diva release Mona from her possession.
"What's going on ?" Mona looked confused.
"Done with that a-call Mona ?" Asked Wario.
"Huh ? Why am I holding my phone ?" Mona doesn't seem to remember anything when being possessed by Golden Diva.
"Are you a-sure you okay ? Maybe we had enough exploring for one a-day." Said Wario.
"Oh hold on ! Wario why did you leave me alone like that !" Mona begin to yell at Wario.
"There's an emergency I need to take a-care of, but now I'm a-done and came back to you !" Wario tried to damage control the situation.
And it worked as Mona easily forgive Wario. "Well i guess I can't get mad at you for too long, by the way while you're gone I found this pretty earrings, I guess you missed one, so I'll be keeping this of course."
"Y-yeah, let's just get out of here." Wario pull out his golden plate and teleport himself and Mona out from the pyramid.
Outside of the Golden Pyramid
"Finally we're out." Wario enjoying the fresh air.
"How did you teleport us out ?" Mona looked at Wario's golden plate. "Is that what you use ?"
"Uuh yeah, this is a recently invented teleportation a-device ! I got chosen to test the product, available for mass produce in 5 years !" Wario spinning a lie.
"5 years ? That's quite a while ?" Asked Mona.
"You can't rush process ! Just like what we a-do at the company when we're making high quality product !" Exclaimed Wario.
"Hmm..." Mona stated at Wario inqusitively. "Wasn't that your fault we got attacked by computer virus not too long ago ?"
"Water under the bridge, so how's the company ?" Asked Wario.
"Profits remained stable, so when are you coming back to the office ?" Asked Mona.
"My vacation time isn't over yet, I'll be back next month." Bluffed Wario.
"I do hope you didn't forget to pay us this month." Glared Mona.
"I won't I won't, well I'll be going back now." Wario used his golden plate to return back to the mansion as Mona turned on her car and drive back to Diamond City.
Smash Mansion
The heroes begin cleaning from the aftermath of the battle, Bayonetta using Restoration Magic to fix the destroyed wall in the dining hall, and many other broken objects.
Mario made a wish to Twink to clean the mansion, but since Twink's power still recovering he can only did the cleaning in smaller scale.
"AAAAAHHH !" Isabelle can be heard screaming.
"Isabelle what happened !" Yuu rushed to Isabelle's side as well as several others like Mario, Twink, Shulk, etc..
"The door to the Archive Room ! It's destroyed !" Isabelle point at the door.
"Does that mean someone went in here ?" Questioned Yuu.
"Let's check it out." Mario went inside.
Archive Room
"Doesn't seem to a-be anything broken, or missing." Said Mario.
"Hmm..apart from the chair being toppled, yeah there's nothing different." Said isabelle.
"But let's just be a-safe, Twink I wish to a-know if someone went in a-here !" Mario made his wish.
Granting Mario's wish, Twink enveloped the room with a hologram of vision from the past, it shows what happened during the battle at the mansion where a robotic figure like Sonic entered and downloading all the information from the computer.
"Hey is that Sonic, but more robotic looking ?" Asked Ness.
"That's Metal Sonic ! He's one of Eggman's robots !" Exclaimed Mario. "We compete a few times in Olympic games."
"Right ? How is that possible again ? You two live in different worlds right ?" Asked Isabelle.
"Oh I a-haven't told you ? At certain time my world and Sonic's world are connected through a rift, and that's a-how we're able to visit each other's worlds and compete in Olympic games." Explained Mario.
"That's still...not sure how to process that, how did you ended up competing in Olympics anyway ?" Asked Isabelle.
"Sonic is a hero of his world, so not many can challenge him, and we offered to be the challengers, and that's how the olympic games begin." Clarified Mario.
"And nobody cared you from another world ?" Asked Mac.
"Nope, the people there doesn't care about that at a-all, they just want quality entertainment." Answered Mario.
"*sigh* some people sure are callous as long as they're entertained." Said Mac.
"Anyway it seems Metal Sonic is downloading something ? Is a-there anything important in this computer ?" Asked Mario.
"Well I didn't add anything, all the information are based on the data already existing in the system." Said Isabelle.
"But this computer have informations of people from all across the universe right ? Is this what they treally after ?" Asked Mac.
"It could a-be, this place has information about us, our friends, families, loved ones, even our enemies, home worlds, there's a lot of information stored in this a-thing." Said Mario.
"But why would the enemy needed this ?" Asked Mac.
"Could this be the purpose why Shokora is here ? To extract the information stored in the archive room ?" Questioned Shulk.
"As for why they needed this, it's just as speculation, but what if they're going after the heroes listed in the database, maybe like capturing, killing, or brainwashing them against us ?" Speculate Mario.
"That's...I won't be surprised if they do that, but are we going to do something ?" Asked Mac.
"We have too much distraction already, even if the enemy is after them, we don't know who they're after first." Said Shulk.
"Do we even know the people who are on the database or how many ?" Asked Mac.
"According to Fiora, she, Ryu, and Ken got involved in world hopping adventures, let's go ask them." Suggested Shulk.
"Let's go ask Ryu and Ken first, they say they have met many people from other worlds before." Mario led the heroes upstairs, but before that he made a wish to Twink to fix the broken door and so the destroyed door is repaired.
Foyer
Hikari and Donbe helped cleaning the robot scraps with Hikari using her magic to telekinetically carry the scraps outside while Donbe uses his strength to do it.
"I usually have my servants to do the cleaning, I have become complacent." Sighed Hikari.
"The life of the Palace must be a good one huh ?" Asked Donbe.
"Very..." Smirked Hikari.
"Good work you two." Ryu and Ken arrived as they compliment Donbe and Hikari.
"You too Ryu and Ken." Replied Hikari.
"So then, I should call you Hikari for now right ? We haven't got a chance to talk." Asked Ken.
"Yes, Hikari is the name my human foster parents gave me, along with Donbe we saved Japan from the oni." Answered Hikari.
"Well I have to be grateful, if it weren't for you Japan maybe still overrun by hostile yokais, then again I wonder if yokais can make better training partners than humans ?" Pondered Ryu.
"Uurgh Ryu I think we already have a monster in Japan already, you know red hair, black gi, perpetually angry facial expression." Ken describing a familiar foe.
"Hahah yeah, I think he possess the strength of one hundred yokais combined." Snickered Ryu.
"So Hikari, how is the dance contest against the Animal Realm, the ones you practiced at Demitri's Castle ?" Asked Ken.
"We win obviously, those Animal Realmers doesn't stand a chance !" Bragged Hikari.
And at that time Mario arrived at the foyer.
"Oh hey Mario, so i've heard there's a break in at the basement ?" Asked Ken.
"Yeah, apparently the enemy real goal is to extract information from the archive below." Said Isabelle.
"Wait, that has info of all of us right ?" Asked Ken.
"Yes, and much much more, you told us you two had adventures with otherworldly people as well right ?" Asked Mac. "What kind of people are there ?"
"There's a lot of people, from Earth and beyond, for example we have a demon hunter named Dante." Answered Ken. "Apparently he's a son of a demon and human."
"Wait I think Fiora told me about him, a demon hunter huh ? Sounds like someone Hades should be wary about." Said Shulk.
"But Hades is a deity, not a demon, does Underworld deities count ?" Pondered Mario.
"Along the way we also teamed up with a succubus and vampire, secret agents..." Ken continue describing the people he and Ryu met so far.
"A female robot with blue hair ? I sure would love to see that." Said Mac.
"Maybe you won't have to wait long I mean she's over there." Ken pointed at the blue haired robot outside carrying more robot scraps, as he does so Ken, Ryu, and Hikari paused as they can't believe who they see. "KOS-MOS !"
Ryu, Ken, and Hikari run outside to approach KOS-MOS with Mario and the others follow suit.
Outside the Mansion
"KOS-MOS ! When did you get here !?" Exclaimed Ken.
"Hmm...I'm sorry but have we met ?" Asked KOS-MOS.
"You forgot about us ? It's us Ryu, Ken, and while she looked like a little girl now this is Otohime, we've been to the Dragon Palace a few times before when the world is in chaos thanks to Ouma." Explained Ryu.
"Ouma ? Dragon Palace ? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with those terms." Replied KOS-MOS.
"Did KOS-MOS really don't remember us ?" Asked Hikari.
"Maybe her memory got damaged when she get here ?" Questioned Ryu. "Or how did she get here in the first place ?"
"Okay let's try this." Ken said to Ryu and Hikari. "KOS-MOS are you alone here ? Where's Shion and M.O.M.O ?"
"Shion ? M.O.M.O ? I'm afraid I never heard those names before, but if you're asking if I'm alone then..."
"KOS-MOS !" A scream can be heard from a distance as another female robot identical to KOS-MOS approached her, the only difference is she has dark skin, white hair, and wears glasses. "Leaving me to do all the work ! You got some nerve !"
"I'm not shirking my job to you, I believe it's faster for us to split up and doing the work separately." Replied KOS-MOS.
"You ! T-ELOS !" Ken point his finger at T-ELOS. "I see you got sent to this world as well."
"Stay back everyone, she's a hostile android named T-ELOS !" Ryu also get into fighting stance.
"Who are you and how do you know my name ?" Asked T-ELOS.
"We fought several times remember ? Did you forgot about that too ?" Asked Ken.
"Really ? I'm pretty sure this is my first time meeting you." Remarked T-ELOS.
"Even T-ELOS doesn't seem to know who we are." Whispered Ryu.
"That doesn't matter, if she still wants to destroy KOS-MOS we won't stand by and watch !" Ken taking a fighting stance.
"Challenging me to a fight are you ? Let's see how long you can last ?" T-ELOS summon her scythe.
As the two about to fight, they were interrupted. "STOP ! What's going on here !" Yelled Rex.
"Stay back Rex, we met T-ELOS and she's dangerous !" Exclaimed Ken.
"T-ELOS are you picking fights again ?" Asked Rex.
"No, he's the one starting it." T-ELOS point at Ken.
"Everyone please stop !" Fiora arrived at the scene. "Ryu, Ken, they're not the KOS-MOS and T-ELOS we met, they're Blades from Alrest that somehow have the same names and appearance as KOS-MOS and T-ELOS."
"What's going on out here ? I've heard shouting." Samus went outside to see what's the commotion. "Hmm..hey isn't that the Anti Gnosis android developed by Vector Industries ?"
"Hoo boy, where do we begin." Sighed Rex.
Foyer
Rex, Pyra, and Mythra explain the whole situation to the heroes.
"I see, so that explains why these two don't remember us, or Shion and M.O.M.O for that matter." Said Ryu.
"I guess these two doesn't possess the Hilbert Effect ability since they're not an Anti Gnosis weapons." Remarked Samus.
"What is this Gnosis you speak of ?" Asked KOS-MOS.
"Well that answers that question." Said Samus.
"Right I guess I should apologize first, I'm sorry about my actions T-ELOS." Ken bowed his head.
"Fine I accept your apology, or else I won't hear the end of it from Rex." Replied T-ELOS.
"Alright everyone the cleaning is almost done and i fix everything destroyed with Restoration Magic, Twink's wish granting ability made things easier for me." Bayonetta looked at KOS-MOS and T-ELOS. "Did we have another newcomer ?"
"Technically they are, these two are my Blades, I have more than just Pyra and Mythra." Answered Rex.
"Well that aside, what should we do with the scrap metals ?" Asked Hikari. "And don't suggest dumping them to the sea."
"Maybe Rodin or HMS have use for it." Bayonetta snapped her finger as an umbran portal appears below the mountain of scraps and fell into the portal, with Bayonetta jumping in herself.
Shop
Bayonetta, last one falling from the portal now standing on top of the scrap metals.
"Rodin, HMS, I may have something for you." Bayonetta jumped from the scrap heap to the floor.
"Scrap Metals huh ? Asked Rodin.
"Not sure where to dump these things, I doubt Master Hand would be pleased to see his world being polluted." Said Bayonetta.
"I think I have an idea, Bayonetta, give them all to me, I know exactly what to do with it." Rodin then lift all the scrap heap to the Gates of Hell.
As Rodin went inside, Bayonetta noticed the Kongs and Sonic inside. "Getting ready for the mission ?"
"Yeah, see I got gloves with materia slots in it." DK showed his new gloves to Bayonetta.
"Already stored a few power ups as well, from Sonic's and Mario's world." Added Diddy.
"And icons from Pit's world." Continued Dixie.
"All of you really prepared for this, make sure you crushed the enemy." Cheered Bayonetta.
"Of course, we'll save Planet Plantaean and return with the Crystal Banana." Vowed DK.
"Well I can't fail either, without the Sol Emeralds the Sol Dimension will be on collision course with my world, Blaze's world will be in danger." Said Sonic.
"Sounds like life and death scenario, fine Sonic let me join you as well." Offered Bayonetta.
"Really ? Thanks Bayonetta, having someone as powerful as you is reassuring." Sonic thanked Bayonetta.
"I know, but first." Bayonetta snapped her finger and teleport more metals to the shop. "Rodin I have more metals for you."
Rodin came out from his bar to see another scrap metals, he carry all of them and return to his bar.
"What do you think he wants to do with those metals ?" Asked DK.
"Who knows, nothing to insane I hope." Replied Bayonetta.
"We should talk to Isabelle now, and call the others." DK teleported the heroes to the foyer.
Foyer
DK arrived as he wants to speak to Isabelle.
"Isabelle we're ready." Said DK.
"Okay then, I'll go get the others." Isabelle contact the rest of the mission member that it's time to go.
DK's team are now assembled as they all ready to go.
"Our destination is Planet Plantaean, it's a banana shaped planet, King K. Rool once attack that planet to get his hands on the Crystal Banana, which possess incredible power not too different from Chaos Emeralds, we can't let K. Rool and his minions get their hands on it !"
"Everyone ready ? We're going to Sol Empire, we can't let the Sol Emeralds fall to the enemy hand, because it means the destruction of the Sol Dimension !"
"So no pressure there." Added Bayonetta.
"We're checking on Team Rocket, hopefully to end their operations." Said Red.
"I will be going to Johto region, to check on our friends, since Ethan called us using the golden plate this could have something to do with Neo Subspace Army." Said Blue.
"For some of us, we're going back home, I have a company to run." Said Ken.
"We also need to get back to our jobs as well, sorry about that." Chelsea apologized.
"I also need to return home, I need to visit my family, and my boss needed me back." Said Olimar.
"No need for apology, you have a responsibilities back home, so do what you need to do." Answered Mario.
"Thanks Mario, we'll at least try to help gathering info, gossips are very common among women." Said Chelsea.
"Yeah, well I need to do some investigation on my own, I need my crew back." Said Wolf.
"Why don't we come with you ?" Rosalina and Cpt. Falcon offered to join.
"Are you two keeping an eye on me ?" Asked Wolf.
"If this was a normal situation yes, but things are different right now." Said Cpt. Falcon.
"If you don't want infamy maybe you shouldn't make name for yourself in the criminal underworld." Added Rosalina.
"Fine point taken, and it's not really my fault I got hired by unscrupulous employers." Wolf justifying himself.
"Okay so Wolf will doing his own investigation with Rosalina and Cpt. Falcon, got it." Confirmed Isabelle.
"And also, Ken, Chelsea, Stephen, and Olimar will be returning to their jobs so they can't be with us 24/7 anymore." Isabelle take notes.
"I will be going to Planet SR-388 alone, I'll make sure none of those pesky X Parasites remain." Samus readied her gun.
"Agent 4 and I want to return to Inkopolis for a bit, there's something I need to check on." Said Agent 3.
"And there's me, I wish to investigate the portals the enemy create to travel between worlds, one of the portals in Hyrule near Zora Domain led to Starfy's world." Ganondorf raised his hand. "I believe we should check on the other portals as well and where it leads."
"Hmm...fair point...oh a-wait I just realize ! Does Starfy included on the archive database ?" Mario asked Isabelle.
"Well I guess I have to check the computer for that." As Isabelle about to head to the Archive Room Palutena create a holographic projection of herself.
"There's no need to return there, you can use the golden plate to link to the computer." Explained Palutena. "Just use your thoughts to do it."
"Okay, I'll try." By focusing, Isabelle successfully linked her golden plate to the Archive computer, she searched for Starfy and found him. "I found Starfy, so why do you want to know if Starfy is in the database ?"
"By exploring the portals we can a-know what portals leads to where, it may even a-help narrowing down what worlds Neo Subspace Army gone into." Answered Mario.
"There are more than thousands of people in this database, it does seems impossible for Neo Subspace Army to open portals to all of their worlds." Thought Isabelle.
"One of the portals in Shulk's world led to my world." Said Green.
"Hey Isabelle, can you check for a man named Dante ? He's a man with white hair and wearing red coat." Asked Ken.
"Let's see Dante...oh found him, and he does have white hair, is this the guy ?" Isabelle showed the image of Dante which Ryu and Ken confirmed.
"Yeah so, he's a half demon from his father side, I see he's included as well." Said Ken.
"If it's okay Isabelle, can you please check if a man named Vashyron is in there ?" Asked Ryu. "The name stars with a V."
"Let's see V...oh found him, he's a man with blond hair and short ponytail, and wearing a brown leatehr jacket is this the one ?" Isabelle showed her golden plate to Ryu.
"Yeah that's him, so even Vashyron is there too." Pondered Ken. "Does this means there's a portal even in Basel ?"
"Unless we entered the portals themselves we wouldn't know, but I hope not, and so I decided I'm joining Ganondorf to investigate for the portals." Ryu stated his decision.
Ryu and Ken mentioned many other names such as Morrigan, Demitri, Felicia, Klonoa, Valkyrie, Gilgamesh, Riela Marcellis, Sakura Shinguji, Akira Yuki, Chris Redfield, even trying to put in Chun-li's name, and Isabelle managed to find them all. "All the people you mentioned are in the database."
"Hey Isabelle, I also like to look a few things, can you check if these people are also included in the database ?" Cloud lists of several names, the friends he meet when summoned by goddess Cosmos such as Terra, Bartz, Squall, etc.
"Okay, all of them you list off are here so far, so next is Tidus ? Oh found him is this him ? This man ?" Isabelle showed the picture to Cloud.
"That's him alright, I see even Warriors summoned by Cosmos are included too." Murmured Cloud.
"Wow, I don't know there are alternate Tidus as well, back in my home Tidus is still a kid." Explained Sora. "Oh that reminds me ! Isabelle can you check on my friends ?"
Sora lists off the names for Isabelle to look for, such as Riku, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, Ven.
"I found them here." Answered Isabelle. "Are these the people you mentioned ?"
"Yeah, so they're included here, does this means they can join the tournament ?" Asked Sora.
"About that, that's Master Hand and Crazy Hand's decision to make." Clarified Mario.
"Oh, well it sure is nice if my friends can be here, I would love to introduce them all to you guys, oh right Isabelle please look at Donald and Goofy." Asked Sora. "His full bame is Donald Duck, and judging by the name he is an anthropomorphic duck."
"Let's see...Donald...strange I can't seem to find him, doesn't seem to be in the database." Answered Isabelle
"What !? Really !? But Donald is a great magic user, how is he not there !?" Exclaimed Sora.
"Hold on, I'll try something else." Isabelle tried a different method this time and now it worked. "Ah found him ! Donald Duck."
"I knew it ! He is there !" Sora happy to hear his friend is there.
"Mmm..sorry Sora, the thing is, I may found your friend, but he's on the 'Fighters Master Hand would never include on his tournament' list." Answered Isabelle.
"What ! Why would Master Hand exclude Donald !? Okay that's it ! Once we found him I will give him a piece of my mind !"
"Anyway, Me, Ryu, Cloud, and Sora will be the ones to investigate the portals then ?" Asked Ganondorf.
"There are too many portals for just the four of you to explore, we need to add more people, like Mr. GW." Suggested Isabelle.
Some other heroes decided to volunteer, such as Erven, Pac-Man, Rex with Pyra and Mythra, Nana with Skull Kid and Young Link and (OoT)Zelda, Daisy, Ike, Shulk, Steve, Alex, Simon, and Richter.
"So all of you wished to investigate the portals ?" Asked Isabelle.
"Yes, we need to know where all of these portals leads." Answered Shulk.
"But before that I have a question, during my trip to Inferno, I met a woman named Menardi, she's someone none of us know and came from a world none of us is from, the enemy clearly recruiting people from those worlds, but what about us ? Are we going to ask the heroes of those worlds to join us, I know we talked about this before, but we need a clear answer now." Said Ike.
"I believe the best answer is, we will tell a-them what's going on and offer them to join us, whether they want to join us or not that's their decision to make." Mario gave his answer.
"As long as those heroes want to cooperate with us, that what matters." Said Fox.
"Alright, everyone it's time to move out !" Commanded Mario as the heroes teleported away with their golden plates.
Finally done, this is a shorter chapter, but still no less important, the mole is finally discovered in this chapter after a few speculations.
Golden Pyramid is the main location of Wario Land 4, it says Princess Shokora lose in a magic duel against Golden Diva, so naturally here Shokora will possess magical powers.
For KOS-MOS and T-Elos, in my fic these are not the same ones from Xenosaga, they are Blades that resemble the titular characters, in other words Xenosaga KOS-MOS and Xenoblade KOS-MOS are two different individuals.
Mona mentioning the computer virus incident is from the game Warioware Get it Together.
The characters from other franchise mentioned by Ken are the ones he met during the events of Namco x Capcom and PXZ, as for Cloud, the people he met during the event of Dissidia FF. Now to clarify, these mentioned characters like Chris or Dante will not appear in this fic, it's just confirmation that they exists, just not play a role in this fic, i'm focusing only at Nintendo characters, and for 3rd parties, only from the franchises that appears on Smash.
For Sora's case it's obvious, sorry but I won't be putting Disney characters here like Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, mention of names is as far as I'm willing to go.
Character Debut : Mona, Golden Diva, Princess Shokora, Metal Sonic, KOS-MOS, T-elos, Hardy Hand, Egg Bishop
Boss Battle : Princess Shokora, Shadow
Well that's all I hope I did a good job building up momentum to expose the mole on the heroes side.
