The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest (Megaman Legends Arc)

[The Seventh]

Cool story.

The suspense kills me!

[DededeCloneChris]

"M-me too!" the other Luigi said as he stood up and ran to the castle.

It was not long before the Luigis and Chris were flying around the planet, grabbing the Purple Coins along the way. Even some of them joined in.

"..." Fox slowly opened his eyes with an annoyed expression. "Who's making...all that noise with laughs?"

"I dunno," Falco said as he looked Fox upside down. "Ask the guys floating around."

Fox looked up where Falco was wearing a red version of his clothes. "What's up with you and sudden change of colors?... And why are you floating in midair?"

"Because I just found the most awesome ability so far than the mushrooms and flowers," Falco flipped 1 time slowly. "The Red Star."

"Red Star?"

"An item Chris found in the castle," Mario explained as he flew to them. "He seemed to have fun and some of us joined him."

"I-I want to sleep if you don't mind..." Olimar said, laying close to them.

"So," Falco grinned. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep in midair." Falco folded his arms behind his head and slowly directed himself to fly away.

"..." Samus saw Falco hitting his head with the nearby house. "Stupid..."

"Why do I have to have this?" C. Falcon asked as he looked his back and found the emblem of Blood Falcon. "Seriously, what's up with that guy's emblem on my back?"

"That's something you'll have to ask Master Hand." Chris said as he flew to him.

C. Falcon grinned. "Hey, Chris, check this out," C. Falcon flew away and charged his fist with fire. "FLYING FALCON PUNCH!"

"Hmm..." Chris rubbed his chin. "I think we can use that little change for an attack..."

"Yeah! That's what I was talking about."

"But..." Chris made a bored look. "Remove the "flying" word so it doesn't sound stupid..."

"Okay. Got that."

Geno (wearing a red version of his clothes) looked at the Star Bits before he sighed. "What's wrong? Geno?" Twink asked.

"Nothing..." Geno said. "I was thinking where Kalmar was..."

"Then you were doing something."

"Twink..."

"Oh, sorry."

"As I've said before, I hope Kalmar is being held captive with Bowser because I'm going to get worried if that wasn't the right location for "hidden high above the clouds"..."

"...You know, Geno..." Twink looked away.

"Yes?"

"This is just random talking, but..." Twink looked at him. "I think there's another place for that clue to fit."

"There is?"

"But...I don't know. I thought there was another location... I hope I'm wrong..."

"...I hope that too..." Geno muttered worried.

"Aaaaaaaaand there!" Mario said as he grabbed the last Purple Coin that called out a Power Star on the top of the castle. The flying Smashers looked at the Power Star and then flew to it before Mario grabbed it and held it up in triumph while the others cheered.

"120 darn Power Stars in the darn bag." Falco said with a nod.

"Now we can fight Bowser and save this place." Twink said.

"Galaxies." Geno corrected him.

"Okay," Mario nodded. "Let's go back to the observatory!"

Everyone looked at each other. "...Why don't we relax and rest here?" C. Falcon asked as he looked around. "This place looks nice to sleep."

"I agree." Chris said.

"Me too." Geno said.

"Me three." Twink said.

"Us 4 and 5." the Luigis said.

"I agree." Falco said.

Mario yawned. "Well...I'm glad you decided to sleep here because I'm so tired as well..."

The flying Smashers nodded to each other and decided to sleep, but since they were flying, why not sleep in the air just for fun?

Even Chris chuckled once he turned his back and found Fox about to touch the Red Star. Fox blinked shocked for several moments before he laughed for a bit.

Then, Olimar came along and decided to sleep in the air as well. The captain looked a little depressed so he took out a scroll that Luigi blinked confused at.

"...What is that scroll for?" Luigi asked.

Olimar sniffed. "T-this contains all the courageous 1006 Pikmins that died this day..." Olimar opened the scroll which slowly grew longer and longer until a long trail of paper was shown in the planet. Olimar sniffed againas he took out a pencil. "Let's see... Loky, Rudy, Bobby, Lucky, Charlot..."

"Isn't Charlot a girl's name?" Luigi asked.

"S-some of them are females, but I can only tell which is one..." Olimar sniffed.

"(Time to console the poor guy...)" Chris sighed and went to Olimar.

They all rested through the entire day afterward...

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

The next day...

"Preparations for take off are complete!" the yellow Toad said.

"Engines are running at full potency!" Mailtoad yelled.

"Starshroom's merging is complete too!" the blue Toad said.

"Good sandwishes...taking over bee kingdom...ready..." the green Toad sleeping in a small hill muttered.

"Alright!" the leader said proudly. "We're ready to engage Bowser! And when I say we, I mean all of you!" the leader said pointing at the Smashers who frowned in shame.

"All the Lumas, please enter an area and remain there until new advice!" Polari ordered the Lumas who were all talking between themselves before entering the areas across the observatory.

"At last," Samus began. "Time to end this nightmare."

"At least for this world," Chris said disappointed. "After this, it's a new world full of dangers..."

"And we're worried because?" Falco asked. "We've been in so many battles and we always win. This is no different."

"Being overconfident will only make you fall in defeat." Geno said.

"Pfft, this is me, okay?" Falco said with a glare.

"Just ignore him." Fox said.

"Hey!"

"Enough!" Twink said. "This is not the time to be fighting between ourselves!"

"Because we should be fighting Bowser." C. Falcon said.

"Oh, remote controls on grass," Olimar played with his fingers. "Something very bad is coming..."

"It'll come if we don't act quickly," Mario said. "But luckily, we're so many to fight Bowser."

"But what if he brings someone else to help him?" Luigi asked.

"He will," Mario said closing his eyes. "If the Subspace Army is helping him, then there's no mistake he'll bring someone."

"(I hope it's not it...)" Samus thought worried.

"G-guys!" Yoshi called from the library before he ran to them with the storybook on his hands. "Guys! You won't believe what I found!" Yoshi reached them and panted a little before looking at them.

"Find what?" Mario asked.

"This," Yoshi showed them the storybook. "The storybook that Rosalina used to tell the Lumas a story."

"...Hurray, yayz for kids' stories..." Falco said, rolling his eyes.

"N-no! You don't understand!" Yoshi opened the book. "I found something in the last pages. Something that looks like a diary written by Rosalina."

"Yoshi, you do know it's bad to read other's private writtings, right?" Samus asked.

Yoshi glared at her. "I know that, but this is something you need to listen! It's about her past. The whole storybook is Rosalina's past in short terms!"

Chris looked away embarrassed. "(...Maybe I should say what is going to happen in a game...but wait, Snake and I made a promise that...)"

"Look, we're busy right now because we're ready to fight Bowser," Fox said as he took out his Blaster. "We're sorry but we don't have time to read someone's diary."

Yoshi got angry. "Oh, I didn't know you guys were that heartless to Rosalina. Shame on you."

"...Ouch." C. Falcon said.

"...He totally got us..." Falco said.

"So why not listen to what she wrote here?" Yoshi asked as he held the book out to them.

"...Alright, tell us, Yoshi." Mario said with a nod.

Yoshi flipped through the pages and found the secret entry. "This is something better to understand her better than the story itself. Please, listen carefully."

Super Mario Galaxy - Sad Story

Page 1

Diary

It has been a long time ever since I found the Lumas.
The Lumas have been perfect children to me, and they are so happy and cute when they are happy, together with me.
I miss the family I used to have back in home. I always remember them everytime I go to sleep. My tears can't stop running once I drift of to my dreams, where I used to dream about them.

About my brother, my mother and my father...

Page 2

By this time, they're no longer living above the earth. This only makes me feel sad to the bottom of my heart. My heart aches with so much sadness that I can't hold back, along with my tears.

I try hard everyday to forget about that with the Lumas.

Page 3

The Lumas are my children, who try so hard to make me happy, which they do successfully. However, I always hide my inner pain everyday so hard that is such an impossible thing to do. I can keep my sadness hidden through the day, but my tears appear every time I sleep.

The Lumas don't enter to my room when I cry in my dreams, luckily...

But unfortunately, I don't have someone to comfort me...

"...My god..." Chris muttered.

"...U-ugh..." Samus clenched a fist after hearing that.

"Rosalina has been suffering every night about her family?" the other Luigi asked.

"But she looks perfectly fine when she's around here." Fox said.

Yoshi closed his eyes. "I think I can understand her sadness very well...but this isn't the end of the diary. This is just the entry she made when she was 14. There is more about her. Please, listen."

Page 4

It has been so long after I last wrote in you.

The pain that has ached my heart is long gone.
After I reached adulthood, after traveling the space for hundreds of years and visit the Mushroom Kigndom where the grave of my mother was on the top of the hill, under the tree that we used to visit, I always came back to visit her and tell her how much I loved her and my father and mother.

Page 5

I always told her all the mishaps that some Lumas used to do and that ended up in laughs if happiness. I always laughed about that so much to the point where I continued laughing for long periods of time. The Lumas are very funny and cute to live with.

As a mother, I can't be much happier than this...

"Hundreds of years?!" the Smashers repeated in shock and surprise.

"But she looks like a super-hot model!" C. Falcon said.

PUNCH!

"Shut up! It's not the time to talk like that about her!" Chris said angrily.

Yoshi rolled his eyes and read the same part again.

After he did...

"Hundreds of years?!" the Smashers repeated in shock and surprise.

"Oh, I can explain why she looks like that." Geno said.

After a very complicated theory of time and space (not about Dialga and Palkia, mind you...)

"So..." Samus trailed off. "She is the mother of the Lumas."

"That visits the Mushroom Kingdom every hundred years." Chris added.

"To visit the grave of her mother." Mario added.

"Without aging that much and just normally, according to Geno." Mario said.

Yoshi nodded. "But that's not all. Here's the last entry she wrote before Bowser attacked."

Page 6

The next Star Festival is going to begin tomorrow.
I can't wait to see my mother's grave again and tell her how much happy I feel.
Protecting the cosmos and the Lumas have been ardous and hard tasks, but Polari always helps me during the hard times.
I cannot explain how excited I am to visit the Mushroom Kingdom again.
I want to see the home I used to live, and my family...
...My dear family...

"There are some trails of drops on this page..." Yoshi pointed out.

Page 7

Mother...father...dear brother...
...I'm almost there to see you again, and tell you about my life again...
...Nothing is going to stop me from visiting and all of you...

Page 8

...Oh no...the pages end here...

...I...I must not cry...not after all this time...

...The only thing I know for sure is...

...That these tears that are falling on you are not of sadness...

...These tears...

...

...

...Are made from happiness...

"..." the Smashers looked down to the floor in shame.

Chris closed his eyes and covered them with his right arm. "...I...I forgot Rosalina also lost her parents..." Chris sobbed silently.

Samus patted his back and there were some faint sniffs coming withing her helmet. "I know... She went through the same sorrow as well..."

"...Dammit..." Fox muttered in shame.

"Dammit!" Falco punched the floor. "And I called the Lumas heartless. She probably heard that and didn't tell anything about the insult!"

Twink sniffed. "S-she always was happy, just to hide how sad she was..."

"Rosalina..." Geno muttered in shame.

"...Mama mia..." the Luigis and even Mario muttered in unison.

Olimar hugged a Purple Pikmin that was sobbing. "...I don't know what to say..."

"Damn..." C. Falcon shook his head. "I feel horrible for some reason..."

"All of us feel horrible..." Samus began. "It happens when you listen to a sad tale like hers."

Yoshi closed the storybook and cleared some tears from his eyes. "Rosalina was sad before when she was little. She wasn't sad when we came here."

"But even still..." Mario began. "...Insulting her without actually trying to is very bad and so wrong, after all she went through..."

"...Then..." Chris cleared his tears and made a serious look. "...It's settled..."

"Yeah..." Samus nodded.

"Absolutely." Geno said with a nod.

The other Smashers looked at each other and made the same serious looks before nodding.

Super Mario Galaxy - Power to Fly

"For Rosalina." Mario said.

"For Rosalina!" the Luigis said in unison.

"For Rosalina." Samus said.

"For Rosalina." Olimar said.

"For Rosalina." Chris said.

"For Rosalina." Geno said.

"For Rosalina!" Twink said.

"For Rosalina." Fox said.

"For Rosalina." Falco said.

"For super ho-" everyone glared at C. Falcon. "Rosalina!"

"For...Rosalina..." Yoshi said with a nod as he closed his eyes before opening them. "We have to rescue her and bring the Lumas' mother back!"

"Then," Mario pointed at the galaxy. "Set course to Bowser!"

"Affirmative!" the leader said. "Everyone, off to Bowser, where the princesses are being held captive!"

"Roger!" the Toad Brigade responded as they activated the Starshroom underneath the observatory that was merged, staring a big engine that shot a big flame. The observatory suddenly turned into a big spaceship and then into a blazing blue comet that slowly accelerated to the deepness of the space.

"...Wait," Chris began. "Aren't we going to the opposite direction that Mario mentioned?"

The leader facepalmed. "Turn the other way!"

"Roger!" the Toad Brigade responded as they turned the comet to the other way. The Smashers were looking at their direction, determined to rescue Rosalina and Peach.

"...How do you know that Bowser is this way again?" C. Falcon asked.

"...A hunch?" Mario responded confused.

The Smashers facepalmed and wished they went the right direction.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Still going great. Now will it be Ridley or Meta-Ridley?

Oh, and a few chapters before, the parts with O'Chunks talking?

NEVER. DO. THAT. AGAIN.

It got so bad, I skipped those parts. Plus he can speak normally, just with a Scottish accent. NOT with a few letters per sentence.

Thanks.

Chapter 117: Grand Finale for a Dear Mother

Bowser's Galaxy Reactor
Airship
The Fate of the Universe

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Rowdy Rumble

"Lord Bowser!" a Magikoopa yelled in panic as he appeared above the airship that Bowser, Charizard, Dedede and Bowser Jr. were riding on. "I-I have alarming news!"

"Unless it's about your cut of salaries for blowing up Jr.'s playground by accident, then go on ahead." Bowser said (while Bowser Jr. shed a tear).

"Mario! That bastard, he's coming here!"

"..." Bowser facepalmed and frowned. "Why is it that EVERY darn time that I block Mario's path he always finds a way around it?"

"Maybe because you don't plan your ideas that well." Charizard said.

"Sucks to be you." Dedede said with a snicker.

"Hey, cheer up," Charizard smirked. "They're not going to pass all the planets that are in the way here."

"GRRRRRR!!!" Bowser grunted. "Jr.!"

"Yes, Papa?" Bowser Jr. asked with a grin.

"Go and get the princesses! We shouldn't allow them to rescue them behind our backs and I want you to secure them!"

"Just as you say!" Bowser Jr. said with a snicker as he jumped to his own mini-airship and flew off to the castle.

Bowser looked to the fron, where he spotted a small blazing comet going towards them from afar. "Soon...soon I'll end your life, Mario..."

Princess Peach's Castle

"YOU!" Bowser Jr. yelled once he opened the doors of the castle. "Both of you, come with me!"

"Why should we?" Rosalina asked as she stood up from the sofa.

"Because if you don't, I'll have to use force instead!"

"Rosalina..." Peach stood up. "We should listen to him."

"...You're right..." Rosalina nodded. "We know how this is going to turn out after all."

"I hear you both!" Bowser Jr. said. "It's inevitable that the galaxies are going to be Papa's properties for the rest of the eternity, which is going to be forever!"

Both princesses walked towards the small version of Bowser and boarded the airship. "Hold on, 'cause Papa will marry one of you and he doesn't want to lose one because she fell off!"

"M-marry?" Rosalina repeated.

"Don't listen to what he says," Peach whispered. "Believe me."

"...Okay..." Rosalina whispered concerned.

Airship

"Papa!" Bowser Jr. called as he flew to the bigger airship. "I've got the 2 of 'em!"

"Good work!" Bowser yelled. "Now, keep them away from here and from Mario until they're finished!"

"What are you saying?" Jr. asked as he hopped to Bowser's airship as he snapped his fingers and the airship he was using flew away with both Peach and Rosalina. Bowser Jr. then took out what looked to be the Magic Paintbrush. "I went ALL the way to that stupid island resort just to be ready to confront Mario myself!"

"W-what th-Jr.! Where'd you get that from?"

Bowser Jr. chuckled. "There was this weird black guy with the stupid pink plant people costume that was using my paintbrush as some sort of lance. Of course, once I found him, I stole it, or more accurately, recovered it from him!"

"..." Bowser crossed his arms, closed his eyes and nodded. "Well, I could use your help so...fine! You're in!"

Bowser Jr. chuckled evily before spinning his paintbrush. "You're not going to be disappointed, Papa!"

"Those 2 share a close relationship that makes me sick." Dedede whispered.

"Stop talking about them!" Charizard complained. "We have other matters to attend to!" Charizard pointed at the comet that was slowly getting to them.

"Incoming!" the Magikoopa yelled.

"The Shadow Bugs will take care of them in they dare to get through all the planets first."

"...Er...maybe, maybe not..."

"Why is that?!" Bowser asked angrily.

"Because...well...how do I put it?"

"Speak up!"

"I...suggest you to see this for yourself..."

Bowser opened his eyes and they grew in shock. "...OH NO, THEY'RE NOT CHEATING LIKE THAT!"

Apparently, the Comet Observatory didn't stop once it reached the location where it was supposed to drop Mario and the others. It destroyed everything in its path towards the 4 villains at a slow rate, barely dodging the magma planet.

"...Shouldn't we...I don't know..." Dedede wondered sarcastically. "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE?!"

"FULL SPEED AHEAD! DAMMIT! I SAID FULL SPEED AHEAD!" Bowser yelled at the Hammer Bro (sleeping inside the airship) that quickly woke up in panic and directed the airship away from the path of the observatory.

Then it stopped.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!"

"We ran out of fuel, Lord Bowser!" the Hammer Bro yelled.

"IDIOT! I TOLD YOU TO REFILL THE TANK EARLIER THIS DAY!"

Charizard and Dedede looked at each other with bored looks. "...Why do I think he's gonna end up blowing the Subspace?" Dedede asked.

"I don't want to think what is Tabuu going to do with him..." Charizard said before they noticed the heat suddenly rising up. "Oh yeah, heat."

Dedede sweated a little. "W-wearing this coat today was such a bad idea...but why is the heat risin'?"

Charizard looked at the comet...that was 30 feet away from them.

The 4 villains' eyes widened as the comet came closer, and closer, and closer, and much closer, then even closer than before.

Then, they all yelled, "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"

Burn!

The comet barely touched the airship, but it was enough to burn the 4 together as they blinked quickly before turning to the comet.

Comet Observatory

"TURN THE OTHER WAY!" the leader yelled.

"I-I can't! It's hard to steer this thing!" the yellow Toad yelled.

"We're so close in getting the princesses back! Return!"

Airship

"Look, they're turning here again." Bowser Jr. said.

"I hope THIS time they stop where I want them to be!" Bowser grumbled.

"...We better move out..." Dedede said with a bored look...

Before the comet passed close to them and thus burned them even more than before. The airship was now a black version of a normal one.

"...Let's all just jump to the top of the tower and wait for them." Charizard suggested and they all nodded before jumping to a tower close to them. The airship remaining there in the same position.

Back with the princesses...

"They found the way," Rosalina said with a sigh of relief. "Now, we just need to wait and see what happens..."

"...Mario..." Peach whispered concerned.

Comet Observatory

Music stops

The entire Toad Brigade were shown covered in soot after the forceful landing, close to the pathway to the 4 villains as the Smashers stood at the first step. "Well, sorry for all the trouble this thing caused," the leader apologized. "But at last, we're here to save the princesses!"

"And when he means "we," he means you!" Mailtoad said to the Smashers, which responded with frowns.

"Please, be extremely careful against Bowser," Polari said. "Make sure you return with Rosalina or else the Lum-"

"I know," Yoshi said nodding. "I'll rescue her."

"Aww..."

Yoshi blushed. "S-stop that!"

"We're going to put an end to Bowser once again," Mario said. "And the galaxies are going to be just fine."

"..." Samus looked away.

Chris looked at her. "Is something bothering you?"

"...No..."

"..." Chris made a worried look.

"Okay, backtrack the observatory!" Polari yelled as the observatory began to move away from the pathway. "Good luck in the battle and please, rescue Rosalina and Peach!"

"For the last time, we will!" Twink yelled.

The Smashers turned to the pathway, where the 4 villains were waiting for them with crossed arms. "There they are..." C. Falcon said.

"I have a very bad feeling about this..." Chris muttered. "I think I need to choose the right job to fight..." he looked at Samus. "...And I know which one." Chris changed to his Chozo Arts job and grabbed his Paralyzer. "I want to see which combinated Final Smash do we get."

"I see," Samus nodded. "I'll help you out."

"Thanks." Chris smiled a bit to Samus.

"Then, here we go." Mario said as they began to climb the stairs.

Back with the villains...

"They're they come, Papa." Jr. said.

"Yeah," Bowser narrowed his eyes. "Even if they succeed in defeating us, we have it waiting for them at the planet of the Subspace Bomb-" Bowser looked at the big magma planet that had a big Subspace Bomb as a planet in the inside. "-where they'll die for sure."

"...Papa."

"Yes?"

"Mario's grabbing the Life Mushroom."

Bowser looked at Mario gaining more life. "Dang it!"

"Not to mention the other green mushroom."

"Double dang it! I knew putting you firing cannonballs was more productive than not doing it!"

"Hey! You said I could fight with you!"

"Because you recovered the paintbrush I didn't get to hear about!"

"Would you 2 just shut it?!" Charizard asked angrily. "They're already here, glaring at us like they always do!"

"...Er..." Dedede blinked shocked. "...Give us 2 seconds..."

The villains turned their backs to the Smashers and looked at the space.

"...Talk about pathetic..." Falco whispered.

"It's Bowser," Geno whispered. "What'd you expect?"

"SO!" Bowser stomped the floor and all the villains turned to the Smashers. "You're all her-HOLY CRAP!" Bowser ducked from a Charged Shot, several red and blue Blaster shots, paralyzer shots, beams and some Red Pikmins that returned back. "H-hey!" Bowser stood up. "What's the big idea about interrupting my spee-"

"SHUT UP!" the Smashers yelled angrily.

"W-what's the sudden fury at me?!"

"You made us go through a lot just to get here!" C. Falcon yelled.

"Have you went through a crazy feast for honey in your life?" Chris asked.

"I-" Bowser was interrupted.

"Have you ever sink inside very cold water?" Falco asked.

"Well, 1 ti-"

"Have you seen you entire life flash in a second as you ride a crazy Manta?" Geno asked.

"At least I-"

"Have you been licked by a clone of yourself?" Twink asked.

"N-n-"

"Have you lost 1006 Pikmins that you cared for so much?" Olimar asked with a sniff.

"I-I hav-"

"Have you been killed by a single touch on your leg?" Fox asked.

"N-nev-"

"Have you met people who don't care about the universe?" Samus asked.

"W-well, that tim-"

"Have you been rolling above a big ball downhill?" the other Luigi asked.

"What the fu-"

"Have you been meeting yourself 2 times?" Luigi asked.

"Why are there 2 Lui-"

"Have you been called Papa like 489 times in a single day?" Yoshi asked.

"O-one time whe-"

"Have you chased bunnies from hell?" C. Falcon asked.

"W-will yo-"

"Have you ever stopped doing the same thing, all these years?" Mario asked.

"OKAY! OKAY! SHUT IT! FINE! I'M ANNOYING, ALRIGHT?!" Bowser yelled out. "Still, that doesn't matter! What matters now is that you're all here to witness my supreme dominion over the entire univers-"

"With Tabuu ownin' 40 percent of it." Dedede pointed out.

"We agreed it was 20 percent of it!" Bowser glared at Dedede.

"And I was told to have 30 percent of it!" Jr. said angrily.

"And I asked for 5 percent of it." Charizard said with a grin.

The villains went arguing back and forth about who owned the most part of the universe while the Smashers looked fairly confused at this.

"...Is this what we came here?" Luigi asked.

"No..." Mario trailed off.

"...Rosalina! Peach!" Yoshi yelled to the princesses which were several feet away from the tower. "Thank goodness you 2 are okay!"

"Yoshi!" Peach yelled. "It's good to see you again!"

"Don't worry! I'll rescue you both! Just wait right there!"

"...But don't we have another place to go?!" Peach asked.

"I-I guess not! My bad!" Yoshi looked at Rosalina. "And for you, the Lumas are fine! I took care of them when you were gone!"

Rosalina blinked several times before smiling a bit to Peach, who smiled back to her.

"They behaved like they do around you. We even finished reading the storybook!"

"Thank you!" Rosalina yelled. "Thank you so much for you aid, Yoshi!"

Yoshi blushed. "I-it was nothing! Just hang in there a little bit longer!"

"We will! Take care of yourself in the meantime!" Peach yelled. "Tell Mario I wish him good luck!"

"I will!" Yoshi yelled before turning to the Smashers. "Did you hear?"

"Yes," Mario nodded. "We need to stop Bowser-"

"And the other ones." Geno added before all of them nodded to each other and prepared to fight.

"Hey! Numbskulls!" Twink yelled. "We're ready!"

The 4 stopped arguing and looked at the Smashers before chuckling in unison. "Well, well, it was about time we started this crap." Bowser said before he snapped his fingers as he took everyone to small planetoid of metal which and landed on (albeit to say, Chris tripped but then got up). The planetoid itself had several spiky bushes around.

"I hope you're prepared," Dedede put his hammer above his shoulder. "'Cuz if you DO manage to defeat us, there's a big surprise waiting for yo-"

Charizard hit his head. "Shut up! Don't spoil it!"

Dedede rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah..."

"If things get rough," Charizard smirked. "We have many underlings ready to appear from nowhere and aid us in this fight against you all."

"However!" Bowser Jr. continued. "I doubt you're even gonna reach the surprise, since by that time, your dead carcasses are going to float into the magma, where your bones are going to disintegrate to nothing!"

"Yeah, that's my boy!" Bowser said proudly before everyone (except Jr.) stared at him with odd looks. "...So what? He's my son so I expected him to be this evil like me!"

"(...Bowser is really, really and very stupid in person...)" Chris thought with a bored look.

"I'll provide information whenever you want." Kawashima said.

"Thank you." Chris said.

"It's time for our revenge back at the Sports Festival," Bowser cracked his fists. "This time, I'll do the work myself."

"Good," Geno adjusted his hand. "I was thinking about beating you up for that again."

"So am I," Fox said. "I won't let an idiot like him defeat me in any way."

"Oh, look at me, I'm shaking!" Bowser Jr. chuckled. "Fur face is gonna teach me a lesson. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"

"That's it, you're going down first."

Bowser Jr. spun his paintbrush. "Ha! Just try it! I dare ya to hit me with everything you've got."

"Oh," Fox grinned. "The pleasure will be all mine."

"...Since when did you have a rivalry with him?" Falco asked but Fox didn't even look at him nor he answered.

"Bowser..." Yoshi began before glaring at Bowser. "You're not going to take Rosalina away from the Lumas, because I'm going to do everything to stop you from doing such horrible and stupid thing!"

"Listen here, dino," Charizard began. "She needs to be captive all the time we want," Yoshi seemed to get shocked at this. "And Tabuu is so going to enjoy taking her mind..."

"...N-no!" Yoshi snapped out. "The Lumas need her so badly!"

"Do we care?" Bowser asked. "We're bad dudes. This is what we're meant to do."

"...You nasty little..." Samus muttered with anger.

"...Bastards..." Chris muttered with lesser anger.

"So you don't care what could happen to the Lumas then?!" Yoshi asked. "That's very mean! They're just babies who need a mother like Rosalina!"

"Oh, don't be so worried..." Dedede smirked. "We'll return her shortly..."

"...Really?"

"Of course!" Dedede opened his arms. "Once she turns evil when Tabuu gets to know her! Then we'll return her to those pipsqueaks just to be hurt and maybe even possessed! After all, she could be a very important part for us! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!"

"..." Yoshi gritted his teeth (if he had any). "...THAT'S IT! I HAD IT WITH YOU!"

Bowser stomped the floor and roared. "Alright! Let's start this ENCOUNTER!!!"

"O-oh boy..." Olimar backed away. "P-please, don't let my Pikmins get killed again..."

"Then just leave." C. Falcon said.

"N-no! I have to fight!"

"Good enough for me."

"...Phew..."

Super Mario Galaxy - Bowser's Final Battle

"Here they come. Stay alert at all moments and remember that Bowser can do several new things alone!" Kawashima warned them. "Oh, the Over Limit gauge is ready to be used at any time! Speaking of which, be aware that they can use their Final Smashes against you!"

"I got that," Chris said as he ran towards Bowser with Chris's Plasma Whip ready. Bowser instantly jumped and rocks began to gather around him before he turned into a big boulder. "What th-"

"DIE!" Bowser yelled as he crushed the World Traveler underneath the weight of the boulder that went rolling away.

"...U-ugh..." Chris saw blood coming from his mouth and shivered a little. "I-I need to be careful with that..."

"I'll gladly help you." Samus said as she stood close to him a fired a missile in front of her. The missile stopped in midair where Bowser was going to come and it exploded right on his face (since his head was out the boulder) and the king yelled as he spun above his shell, around the planetoid.

"Let me do this!" Mario said as he used a Star Spin on the spinning Bowser who then got pushed to the air and fell on the floor, dazzled by the spin.

"It's our chance to land an attack on him!" Chris yelled as he charged at Bowser, but then Charizard came from the right and slammed his head directly into the World Traveler's arm, pushing him out of the way as he screamed in pain.

"No attacking allowed!" Charizard yelled before he chuckled.

"Pay more attention!" Yoshi yelled as he swallowed Charizard and spat him out. Charizard grunted before using Flamethrower to burn Yoshi. "AAAAAAHHH!!!"

Geno dashed towards Charizard as he fired bullets from his fingers, making the Pokémon back away in pain before the other Luigi...

...Wait a minute, where is the other Luigi?

There was the other Luigi back at the tower where they were before, ducking in fear. "I-I'm going to help them at the most desperate situation! I swear!" Luigi yelled.

Back at the fight.

"SUPER FIRE PUNCH!" Luigi yelled as he used a flaming uppercut that sent Charizard to the air before landing back on the floor. Luigi, however, was falling backwards before landing on the top of his head before standing up.

"That had to be strong, but at the same time ridiculous..." Geno commented with a bored look.

"That explains why he didn't join Mario before." Twink said with a bored look.

"A-at least I gave him damage, right?" Luigi asked.

"That's exactly why I'm biting your arm off!" Charizard yelled from behind Luigi as he ducked his head and bit Luigi's right arm. The green plumber screamed (in agony) as the dragon shook him several times before tossing it to Yoshi, who gasped and was pushed back.

"Geno Beam!" Geno yelled as he fired a blue beam that crossed Charizard.

"Ugh! You darn wooden puppet!" Charizard complained as he prepared his Flamethrower.

"Attack order!" Olimar whistled to his Pikmin to charge at Dedede, who simply remained in his position and crushed the Pikmins with his hammer. "Oh, please! Stop killing them!"

"Like I'm gonna hear ya!" Dedede yelled before he charged at Olimar as he "accidentaly" tripped on Olimar and dealed a good amount of damage.

"G-GET OFF ME!" Olimar yelled underneath Dedede.

"FALCON KICK!" C. Falcon came from the left and kicked Dedede out of the way with his blazing kick before looking down. "You okay?"

"Y-yes..." Olimar shook his head. "Oh, that penguin is so going to pay..." Olimar grabbed the leaf from a Purple Pikmin and ran towards Dedede, who merely chuckled.

"Oh, I'm scared, little dude's gonna hit me with that thi-"

"BANZAI!" Olimar yelled as he leaped to Dedede and began banging the Purple Pikmin on him...

...Which was dealing WAY too much damage in fact.

"AAAHH! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME!!!" Dedede yelled and screamed.

"WHO'S BEGGING FOR MERCY NOW?!" Olimar asked rhetorically before he kept banging the Purple Pikmin on Dedede.

"AWAY!" a Waddle Dee yelled as it (he) slammed to Olimar and pushed him out of the way.

Dedede panted several times before glaring at both captains. "You're all gonna pay for what you did!"

"Too slow!" Jr. taunted Fox who tried to land a kick on him, but the small Bowser used his staff as a shield. "Nope!" Jr. blocked a kick to his legs. "Not even up here!" Jr. blocked a hit to his head. "C'mon! Are you gonna go easy on me you 'cuz I'm a little ruffian?"

"Grr," Fox grunted. "(This guy is actually hard to fight against...)"

"Wide open!" Jr. yelled as he quickly turned and slammed the paintbrush on Fox's face, making the vulpine back away in pain with trails of paint on his face. "Hehehehee! Nothing like showing you what it takes to deal with me!"

"Would you pay more attention to the others you're fighting?" Falco asked behind Jr. and brought down his slicing hands...that Jr. quickly blocked as well. "H-hey!"

"Take this!" Jr. yelled as he quickly ducked and pushed Falco's stomach using the tip from below the paintbrush. "And this!" Jr. yelled as he slammed his spiny shell at Falco's body. "And this too!" Jr. slapped the paintbrush on Falco's face which made him back away as well.

"Geez..." Falco panted. "Can't believe Bowser's kid is this strong..."

"Just keep attacking him," Fox said. "There's always an opening that we don't see clearly."

"Like hell you'll find something like that!" Jr. said with an evily snicker. "I'm invincible! Surrender and accept that fact!"

"Just like that, Jr.!" Bowser yelled from afar as he spew fire from his mouth to Samus and Mario who dodged the attack. Bowser was then hit on his head by Flip Kick from Chris who appeared from his back and landed in front of him.

"...My god! I did that?" Chris asked surprised.

"Yeah!" Bowser said before he grabbed the World Traveler. "And I did this!" Bowser began to bite the World Traveler several times before Samus fired a Charged Shot to the king of the Koopas and saved Chris, who landed on the floor, panting heavily.

"T-thanks..." Chris muttered in pain.

"Just be more careful," Samus said. "Don't try to use close range attacks if you know that he'll grab you like he did before."

"...U-understood..."

"Hello?!" Bowser called out as he punched a spiny bush that slammed into Samus and pushed her back. Chris quickly ran to Bowser but the spiny bush from before didn't return but then it did, stricking his back before he fell to the floor. "Mwhahahahahaha!!!"

"...At...this...rate..." Chris panted heavily while he was on the floor. "...I'm...going...to...die..."

"Say your prayers!" Bowser said as he lifted a foot above Chris.

"God, please bless my friends, especially Lucario because he is totall-"

"NOT LITERALLY!" Bowser yelled as he put down his foot...that missed Chris because he was grabbed by a grapple that came from Samus.

"Are you sure you can keep on?" Samus asked.

"Definitely..." Chris said breathing heavily. "I won't...be a burden...I promise..."

"...Fine." Samus said before she quickly pulled Chris to her to evade Bowser (who turned into a big boulder) and rolled around the planetoid.

"Now's our chance!" Mario yelled as he used a Star Spin on a spiny bush that blasted off to Bowser's face and made him spin on his shell around.

Though that affected everyone's fight as well...

Charizard was shown stopping Yoshi's stomach before gathering flames in his mouth. "BURN!" Charizard yelled.

Then...

"UAH!" Charizard yelled once Bowser slammed into himself and made him all back, thus setting Yoshi free.

Luigi (from nowhere) came using Luigi Tornado to land only 1 hit, followed by a stronger one that pushed Charizard to the air. "...You're ACTUALLY fighting now?" Geno asked surprised.

Luigi blushed and played with his fingers. "Y-yeah?"

"LOOK OUT!"

"YIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Luigi screamed once Charizard used Flamethrower behind him as the green plumber was being burned.

"Geno Whirl!" Geno shouted as he fired a slicing ring that crossed Charizard...but it didn't do massive damage. "Rats, it doesn't work on him."

"You'll pay!" Charizard yelled as he dashed to Geno. The pupper blocked his face before Charizard used Fly to deal an uppercut of fire with his head, pushing the puppet away.

"I've got him!" Olimar yelled as a Blue Pikmin was grabbing Dedede from escaping.

"How the heck is this little goofball grabbin' me?!" Dedede asked as he looked behind him and found C. Falcon about to land a Falcon Punch on him. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

"PUNCH!... Damn!" C. Falcon cursed as he hit Bowser instead.

Bowser just spun between the king and the pilot that punched him in the right moment. Bowser felt extremely dizzy as he went away, spinning like crazy before Dedede kicked the Pikmin away, hit Olimar with a small charged Jet Hammer and kicked C. Falcon away. "Phew, I was almost dead... Don't do that again!" Dedede demanded.

"Ha! Heh! Ha! Ha! Yah!" Jr. struck his paintbrush down and kicked both Star Fox members away by spinning around and using them as floors. "C'mon! Are you even going to try and land a hit on me?" Jr. taunted.

"Damn..." Falco panted. "There's not a single opening we can find..."

"Keep...trying..." Fox breathed heavily. "I know there is something that we're ignoring completely..."

"Ha! That's a laugh!" Jr. said. "Nothing is going to let you attack me at all. NOTHI-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Bowser came from nowhere and slammed right into his son, pushing Jr. to the floor as he hopped several times along the floor before his face remained on the floor.

"D-dangit..." Jr. muttered before he looked up. "I won't let the mistakes of my dad distract me from this figh-" he was interrupted as Falco grabbed him from the neck. "H-hey! Let me go!"

"After this," Falco said before he hit Jr.'s stomach several times using his right knee. "And this." Falco tossed Jr. to the air where he was shot 3 times by Falco's Blaster.

But the attack didn't end there. Fox jumped 2 times to reach the small Bowser and started to land a 5-hit combo while he spun and kicked Jr. away, but Bowser Jr. quickly flipped and landed on the floor, panting heavily as he put his little mask over his mouth.

"What were you saying?" Fox asked raising an eyebrow with a grin.

"You..." Bowser Jr. panted. "Once I...put this mask on...you're going to tremble in fear! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Jr. yelled as he charged at them.

"Huaaah!" Mario used a Star Spin to knock Bowser away, stopping all the mad spinning on him but by hurting him. "We're doing great. Keep it up like that!"

"Speak..." Chris panted. "For...yourself..."

"...Oh, sorry."

"It's...okay..."

"Damn you 3!" Bowser yelled as he did a high jump and stomped the floor, creating a red shockwave that paralyzed Mario, except for Samus and Chris who jumped in time. However, Bowser kept pounding the planetoid several times, damaging everyone else who didn't evade the rings of electricity. "MWHAHAHAHAHAHA! How'd you like that?!"

"IDIOT!" Charizard and Dedede yelled.

"We were on the way of those lasers!" Charizard grunted.

"P-P-P-P-Papa!" Jr. yelled. "W-w-w-why'd you do that for?!"

"Crap!" Bowser cursed before a Super Missile exploded on his back. "Hey! Don't cheat like I do!"

"Duh!" Chris said annoyed as Samus chuckled a little bit.

Everyone recovered their composures and regained their movement.

"You know," Samus began to Chris. "You should change jobs and train that one later, just to be safe."

"...I...guess..." Chris said as he changed to his Monk job.

Now, this was a job that he haven't used yet. Chris was now wearing a blue gi with a white shirt underneath with long sleeves. He wore black gloves, black pants and sandals with a black belt on his...belt. He even was wearing a blue bandana on his forehead.

"..." Chris looked at himself. "...I feel like a little amount of strength got into me..."

"Good," Samus nodded. "Because here he comes."

"What?" Chris asked before Bowser rammed himself at the 2 and crushed Chris underneath him. "H-hey! S-stop the crushing thing on me!"

"Away!" Mario yelled as he used a Star Spin on a nearby spiny bush to push Bowser out of the way. "Chris, are you still fighting?"

"O-of course..." Chris twitched in pain. "I can fight..."

"Oh, sure," Bowser chuckled. "One more attack until you go down, kid."

"...Kid?!" Chris repeated angrily. "Okay, I'm so mad off right now. You're really going to regret that! YAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Chris charged at Bowser, who merely chuckled and remained at his position.

"Pfft, if you're going to lift me then go ahead, because it's not going to happen." Bowser said nodding with closed eyes.

"To be sincere," Samus began. "He is lifting you, in fact..."

"..." Bowser looked down where Chris was struggling a little bit to hold him. "Put me down!"

"W-with pleasure!" Chris yelled as he tossed Bowser down to the floor with a bit of force, dealing a good amount of damage.

"AAHH!" Bowser yelled before glaring at Chris. "Y-you littl-"

Bowser was interrupted as Samus used her Screw Attack behind him, pulling him inside a spinning ball that sliced his stomach several times before landing back on the floor.

"...Grrr..." Bowser grunted angrily as he looked up. "Time to change places!" Bowser yelled as he stomped on the floor and pulled everyone to a close planetoid. This planetoid contained sling plants and not much else. "Try this!" Bowser yelled as he jumped high and got covered into 2 big spiky shells that struck the floor and rolled around.

"O-oh no!" Mario yelled as he was crushed under the spiny ball.

"It's easy to dodge him like that," Samus said as she sidestepped out from Bowser's way. "What th-"

Bowser quickly turned towards her and crushed the bounty hunter under his weight as he continued his path around.

"S-Samus!" Chris yelled worried.

"We're...fine..." Samus muttered weakly.

"UGH!" Geno grunted as Charizard shook him with his fangs entering his wooden arm. "S-stop this!"

"Yeah!" Twink said as he flailed his little hands and slammed himself on Charizard's head, releasing Geno in the process before Charizard shot a nasty glare to him. "Y-yikes! He's ugly with capital letters!"

"BRUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA!!!" Charizard roared.

"!!!" Twink gasped and quickly hid inside Geno's cape.

"Such heartless soul shouldn't be allowed to wish." Geno said with a glare to Charizard.

Charizard crossed his arms. "He was annoying, so why not?"

"Heheheh, funny you ask that..."

"Wha-HEY!" Charizard's eyes widened once he was pulled inside Yoshi's mouth. Yoshi then turned the dragon Pokémon into an egg that shook several times before Charizard broke out, fairly disgusted.

"He was annoying, so why not?" Yoshi asked as Charizard grunted.

"Y-you stupid excuse for a dinosaur!" Charizard said angrily.

"I'm a YOSHI." Yoshi corrected him.

"Aren't Yoshis technically dinosaurs?" Luigi asked.

"...Er...we're Yoshis!" Yoshi protested.

"Who in their sane mind cares about that?!" Charizard asked before he spew a long trail of flames out from his mouth. "Heheheheheheh..." Charizard chuckled, stopped his attack and smirked evily. "ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Charizard roared loudly as a rainbow aura exploded on him, giving him the power of the Final Smash.

"Oh no..." Geno shook his head slowly. "...This isn't going to turn out well..."

Charizard concentrated a big deal of fire inside himself as many little flames began to get out from his mouth before he roared to the sky with a huge formation of fire that covered the whole planetoid. The Smashers stopped fighting and looked above before the flames of the Fire Pokémon descended quickly and burned them all greatly, yelling in extreme pain as Charizard grinned evily.

Blast Burn

Engulf your enemies with the strongest heat of an inferno. Deals great fire damage to all enemies if they get caught.

"UGH!" Charizard dropped on his knees and panted heavily.

"...I..." Luigi muttered. "...Can't fight...anymore..."

"Be...strong..." Geno muttered weakly as he managed to stand up. "It looks...like...he weakened himself..."

"Indeed, he did," Kawashima began from Chris's pocket. "Using Blast Burn is very risky, since it tires the user out. Serves him right for not being one of Red's Pokémon like he should and use that attack as his Final Smash."

"...S-so?" Chris asked weakly.

"...I don't think Charizard is going to last for much longer..."

"...Then it's an advantage..." Geno said.

"H-how's everyone else?" Samus asked.

"Burned..." C. Falcon and Olimar replied.

"I'm...okay..." Fox responded.

"Me...too..." Falco responded.

"..." Chris couldn't manage to speak but he was able to stand up.

"I'm...fine..." Yoshi said panting.

"I can...still...fight..." Geno muttered.

"I don't feel so good...but I can keep on..." Mario responded.

"Fine under cape!" Twink yelled perfectly fine from Geno's cape.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!" Dedede laughed proudly. "We're almost gonna win against ya! I bet you didn't expect that, did ya?! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!"

"Heeheeheeheeh!" Jr. chuckled and pointed at Fox and Falco. "I betcha you can't even breath anymore!"

"Admit it..." Charizard panted. "...This is...your end..."

"...No..." Chris muttered weakly as he changed to his Fonic Hymn User job. "...I'm going to...to use this...to turn the tables...at our favor..."

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Bowser laughed evily. "Yeah, right! Like a stupid kid like you is going to turn the tables on us!"

Now, Chris really got mad.

"DIE!" Bowser yelled as he transformed into his rolling shell and charged towards Chris.

"Chris! Get out! You won't resist the damage anymore!" Mario yelled.

"(...I...)" Chris thought as Bowser dangerously rolled towards him. "(...I can...turn the tables...)"

"NOW, DIE AS I'VE SAID BEFOR-"

"That's enough!" Chris yelled as a rainbow aura covered him while it pushed Bowser away with a force that appeared once the aura appeared on the World Traveler. "U-ugh... Q-quick..."

"Grrrrrr!!!" Bowser grunted annoyed before turning back to his spike ball form. "Now this is it!"

"Hope you have fun in hell!" Jr. said as he raised his paintbrush above Fox and Falco, who looked down and closed their eyes.

"Little pipsqueak is gonna di-ie!" Dedede chanted happily as he lifted his hammer above Olimar and C. Falcon, who were laying down painfully on the floor.

"...U-ugh..." Charizard slowly gathered flames in his mouth as Yoshi, Geno and Luigi gasped at this once they couldn't move for the damage they received.

Bowser dangerously rushed after Chris, who panted heavily every second as he concentrated his magic.

"T-t-t-thou who wouldst take revenge, c-c-c-c-carve here thy holy seal... ECLAIR DE LARMES!!!"

Chris successfully made a holy glyph underneath Bowser that shot out slicing lights that stopped him and damaged him.

"Begin..." Chris said closing his eyes. "O light that rains down on heaven and earth, bring my enemies to their destined annihilation!"

The time seemed to stop for everyone except for the World Traveler. The villains only managed to turn their eyes at the extreme shining lights that appeared above and underneath the planetoid.

"FORTUNE ARC!!!" Chris yelled as streams of light crossed the whole planetoid, damaging all the villains who screamed in pain.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Charizard let out a last roar before he fainted, defeated.

"At least..." Bowser twitched in pain. "This...is over..."

"Oh, really?" Samus asked as she looked over to Chris, who wasn't finished with his Final Smash as he put both hands on his neck before opening them back, releasing healing and damaging waves of light that healed the Smashers, but damaged the villains with more damage than before.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Bowser yelled in pain with Dedede and Jr..

"And grant us the divine protection of thine brilliance!" Chris chanted with an echoing voice before the glyphs disappeared and everything went back to normal as he stood normally. His wounds were almost gone completely.

"D-dangit..." Dedede muttered in pain. "N-now I know why is that kid so dangerous..."

"Hellooo?" C. Falcon tapped Dedede's shoulder.

"What?" Dedede asked annoyed.

"Go, get him!" Olimar yelled as he tossed several Pikmins to the king(?) and started to bang him around his body, making Dedede scream in pain as he tried to get them off.

"That was an excellent comeback," Samus said to Chris, who blushed a little. "Well done."

"T-thanks," Chris nodded embarrassed. "T-to be honest, I had this Final Smash for an emergency...but I can't use it again..."

"Huh? Why?"

"Allow me to explain," Kawashima began. "Only 1 Final Smash per person is allowed to be used. Chris used his Final Smash but he can't use another one with the Over Limit gauge anymore, but you all can," Kawashima shifted his eyes. "However though, you can use your Final Smash again if you have a Smash Ball..." the professor whispered.

"...Riiight..." Chris said nodding. "I still have that Smash Ball..."

"Then use it when it's necessary." Samus said.

"Be careful, a Final Smash doesn't mean you'll kill the boss with one hit, just damage him even more than normal," Kawashima explained. "Oh, but Samus can use hers twice."

"...Why twice?" Samus asked.

"Oh ho ho ho, you'll see." Kawashima said with a wink.

"...You're creeping me out."

"GRRRR!!!" Jr. stomped the floor several times annoyed. "C'mon, people! We're about to win...and you're about to lose?! What the heck is wrong here?!"

As the little Bowser continued to rant, Fox and Falco noticed something very vital that was so blatantly obvious to the smart people who....you 2 stop glaring at me! You're supposed to be fighting!

...

That's better.

"Say, Fox..." Falco wondered as he narrowed his eyes at the Magic Paintbrush. "What if we take that off from him? Won't that make him more useless?"

"That was exactly what I was thinking." Fox said with a nod. Both nodded to each other and carefully walked to Bowser Jr..

"We're almost gonna win! You better make my Papa proud of you or else I'll tear you down to shreds...and..." Bowser Jr. noticed that his paintbrush was gone. "M-MY PAINTBRUSH! W-where is it?!"

Falco whistled and Bowser Jr. looked at him with shocked eyes. "Oh, you mean this?" Falco asked sarcastically with a grin before Bowser Jr. went after him, but, since taller people are, as a fact, taller, Bowser Jr. couldn't reach his beloved paintbrush since Falco kept him away.

"MY PAINTBRUSH!" Bowser Jr. flailed his arms to no avail. "GIMME MY PAINTBRUSH! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WAAAAAAAANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!"

Falco rolled his eyes. "(Stupid, whiny, little, Bowser...)"

"GIMME BACK MY PAINTBRUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!" Bowser Jr. cried loudly.

"U-ugh..." Bowser grunted in pain as Mario, Samus and Chris (in his Pikmin Captain job with 3 Pikmins) had him cornered. "You're not...going to take me ou-"

"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Bowser covered his ears (if he had any) from the loud cry from his son. "JUNIOR! STOP CRYING, I'M BUSY!"

"THEY DON'T WANNA GIMME MY PAINTBRUUUUUUUUUUSH! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!" Bowser roared annoyed.

"(M-my goodness...he has a very strong voice...)" Mario thought while he blocked his ears.

"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"Do it, Fox!" Falco yelled (twitching from the loud cries).

"Shut-up!"

"H-HUH?!" Bowser Jr. stopped his tears and looked at the right side before he was hit very fataly on his head by a fully charged attack by Fox's kick. The small Bowser blasted off to the sky before he fell all the way down where Bowser was cornered. He sat up and blinked several times, finding a small tooth close to him that he took it.

"Finally..." Bowser sighed.

"...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Bowser Jr. cried EVEN louder than before.

"D-DAMMIT! WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?!"

"THEY BROKE A FANG FROM ME!!!" Bowser Jr. showed his dad a small fang that fell off from his mouth. "AND IT WAS MY SHARPEST ONE!!!"

"H-how dare they!!!" Bowser said utterly enraged.

"GET THAT FUR FACE!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Bowser did what he needed to do...

Several minutes later...

Back where the airship holding the princesses, Bowser Jr. was there with tape covering his mouth as he sobbed silently over the loss of his fang.

"...Poor thing..." Peach said as she rubbed Bowser Jr.'s head.

"(...So, that is the kind heart you have...)" Rosalina thought with amusement.

"Hmmmmmm..." Bowser Jr. cried some tears.

Back at the planetoid...

"Now, where were we?" Bowser asked, dusting off his hands. "Oh, yeah... U-ugh..." Bowser stood up with his right leg. "You're not...going to defeat me... I will...rule the galaxies!"

"Well..." Mario rubbed his head. "You're done for as of now"

"Huh?! Why?!" Bowser asked furiously.

Mario simply pointed at Dedede, who apparently was himself VS. Olimar, C. Falcon, Yoshi, Geno, Luigi, Fox and Falco, and obviously, he wasn't winning.

"OWW!" Dedede complained after Geno shot a beam to his stomach. "Y-you imbeci-OWW! S-st-OOW! Attackin' m-OOW! Like tha-OWW!"

Music stops

"...Curse my ideas..." Bowser muttered once Dedede fell on his back, defeated as the others rejoined the 3 and cornered Bowser all together. "...NO!" Bowser stomped the floor. "I can't lose like this! Not against you!" he pointed at Chris, "a stupid kid who cosplays," he pointed at Mario, "my eternal rival," he pointed at Samus, "a man-armor."

"I'm a woman inside a suit!" Samus yelled annoyed.

Bowser pointed at C. Falcon, "a pilot perv," he pointed at Geno, "that puppet guy," he pointed at Twink, "that little star that foiled my plans once," he pointed at Yoshi, "that dinosaur thing," he pointed at Olimar, "that random Mario clone."

"H-hey!" Olimar said annoyed.

"And mostly..." Bowser pointed at Fox and Falco. "Those 2 imbeciles, who not only broke a fang from my dear super cool awesome son, but also stopped me from turning themselves and the monkey without pants into trophies for Master Hand, because the stupid bird brain appeared out of nowhere and knocked the Subspace Gun out from my hands!"

Tales of Symphonia 2: Behind Us!

"...What?" Fox and Falco asked confused.

Chris wondered for a moment before gasping silently. "B-Bowser, y-you don't happen to know..."

Bowser rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Pfft, don't tell me you all forgot what happened during the whole Subspace thing! Geez! Do I have to remind you everything?!"

"Wait," Samus began. "What do you mean that you have to remind all of us what happened about an event that we didn't even take part of?"

"Pss, Chris..." Kawashima whispered.

"Yes?" Chris whispered back.

"I-I'm not sure if they should learn what happened during the SSE...you know, the whole mind-erasing part that Master Hand put on all the Smashers before returning them to their worlds after the Melee tourny ended?"

At this, Luigi's eyes widened. "MASTER HAND ERASED OUR MINDS!!!"

"Oh, great going, jackass!" Chris said annoyed. "You HAD to say that where Luigi was near!"

"S-sorry! I-I didn't see him! You don't know what I can't see from here!" Kawashima said as Luigi ducked in confusion.

"Wait...ugh..." C. Falcon fell on one knee and put a hand over his helmet. "I...I think I...remember something..."

"Ugh..." Samus fell as well. "My head...is...trying to reveal something to me..."

"Are you...alright?" Fox asked.

"No..." Olimar spun his helmet around himself, on the floor. "My head suddenly had this headache..."

"...Ugh!" Falco grabbed his head with his right hand. "I...I'm trying to...remember something vital..."

"M-mama mia..." Mario ducked once he saw Yoshi. "...Why do I...have this vision...about a fight I had...before?"

"Oww oww oww..." Yoshi ducked as well. "Something is...trying to reveal itself...inside my head..."

"...What IS happening here?" Geno asked confused at whole situation.

"I-I don't know!" Twink said worried. "T-they just dropped to the floor, and it looks like they got headaches!"

"...How come Fox didn't get one?" Chris asked as he looked at the vulpine.

Fox lifted his shoulders a bit, indicating that he didn't know...

...Then he randomly looked at the airship...

...Where Peach and Rosalina were, along with Bowser Jr....

"...Phew, I thought something was going t-" Chris was interrupted.

Not only Fox looked at the princesses, but he looked at something that Peach was holding delicately...

...A cup of fresh tea with a mini-plate below that somehow looked STRONGLY familiar...

"Ugh!" Fox put a hand on his forehead and fell on his right knee.

Chris looked at Peach. "Peach! Why are you doing with that cup of tea at a time like this?!"

"S-sorry!" Peach yelled. "I-I thought it was a good time to take a little sip!"

"Aw, please!"

"So..." Bowser continued. "...You all remember?"

"...I..." Yoshi began. "I don't... I can't..."

"...Pfft," Bowser rolled his eyes. "I can't believe I was the only one who remembers the whole thing!"

"Wait," Chris looked at Bowser. "What do you mean you remember something that..." Chris stopped and thought again. "...That they didn't take part of?"

"Oh, I...know it all...or remember it all very well..." Bowser said as he stood up. "Everyone here, except for you, the puppet and the star, took part of the Subspace invasion, where many of us opposed."

"...Can you go on?"

"I'm afraid I can't!" Bowser said as Chris saw Dedede and Charizard walking to Bowser as they put their hands on his shoulders. "You're going to die in that oversized magma inferno that I created, where I'll reign the universe with iron fist!"

"...But you can't fight anymore!" Geno said. "We pretty much defeated you!"

The trio of villains chuckled evily. "Oh, you defeated us, alright..." Charizard said.

"But..." Dedede continued. "...You haven't defeated it yet..."

"...What is it?" Chris asked confused.

Bowser pressed a button and everyone except the trio were trapped inside Launch Stars. "W-what are you doing?!" Twink asked.

"We're sending all of you to fight it, who is so going to own you big time for what've you done so far to us!" Bowser explained as he laughed evily, then, everyone's Launch Stars spun before blasting all of them inside the magma costellation that had a Subspace Bomb as a planet.

[DededeCloneChris]

"MAAAAAAAAAAARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Peach yelled worried.

"(Please...let them be safe...)" Rosalina thought worried.

The Smashers were being blasted off inside the magma planet by one of the 3 gigantic holes from it. Everyone managed to open their eyes before they all, one by one, bumped into the planet, rolled above it and stopped as they panted and breathed heavily.

Music stops

Subspace Bomb Planet

"..." Mario sat up slowly as he rubbed his hat. "...What was that about?"

"I...don't know..." Yoshi said confused. "...But...did we really take part of something in the past?"

"Impossible..." Fox said. "We don't remember anything like that...but..."

"Yet..." C. Falcon continued. "...I have some kind of memory forgotten..."

"S-something that we really forgot...a-and Master Hand erasing our minds? I-is that real?" Luigi trembled.

"I-I just hope that was just random talking..." Olimar said, doing the same as Luigi.

"But I have to ask..." Falco looked at Chris. "...Why were you acting a little bit weird when Bowser said all that to us?"

"..." Chris gulped. "...I-I think I was a little bit worried..."

"..." everyone stared at each other before standing up.

"Okay..." Geno dusted off his cape. "The main question for now is..." he looked around. "...Where are we?"

"Inside a costellation of magma," Samus said, scanning the area. "We're trapped here, unfortunately..."

"It's...hot..." Twink panted before looking down. "...A-AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Everyone looked down at the big countdown of the Subspace Bomb (that was the planet itself) and gasped in unison. The bomb was set to explode in 1 hour and they looked around and found 2 R.O.B.s stuck as well.

"O-oh no..." Twink gulped. "Y-you don't mean..."

"If this thing blows up," C. Falcon began. "We're going to die if we stay here!"

"...Actually..." Mario rubbed his hat. "...I don't think this is going to kill us... I have a feeling that this isn't a normal bomb..."

"...Now that you mention it..." Samus began. "...I kind of know something else."

"I haven't seen an actual explosion by these bombs before, to be honest," Fox explained. "But still, something feels awfully familiar all of a sudden..."

Chris shook his head several times. "L-let's not get sidetracked by such details like that. I know that was just Bowser being stupid and all that."

"..." Fox narrowed his eyes at Chris.

"...S-something is on my face? Heheheh..."

"You know, Chris...I think you're hiding something from us..."

"N-no!" Chris shook his head. "W-why would I hide something from all of you?"

"...Maybe is just me..." Fox closed his eyes and sighed.

"(PHEW!)" Chris let out a big sigh inside his mind.

"...W-wait..." Olimar looked around. "...I-I can hear something..."

"Hear what? Apart from the lava that makes those brewing sounds?" C. Falcon asked.

"...N-no..." Olimar focused even more. "...I think...something big...is coming here..."

Everyone looked at each other before remaining in perfect silence.

"...Yes..." Geno whispered. "There's definitely something coming to us...and it's big."

"That faint sound sounds like...wings flapping..." Mario said.

"...And the air is making sounds as well..." Yoshi said.

"...B-but what could it be?" Luigi asked. "The robots?"

"The robots," Falco repeated as he looked at one to a side of the planet, its arms attached to the bomb. "Those machines are the mystery of how they activate the bombs."

"Because they must have a material that can't be found anywhere el-" Samus was interrupted.

They all suddenly covered their ears as a extreme screech sounded inside the magma costellation. Most of them dropped to the floor and gritted their teeth in pain before the screech came to a halt.

"Now that thing is closer than before." Geno said as he opened his eyes...and found a big shadow.

"Huh? A shadow?" Mario asked.

They all turned around...

...And they found it.

"...You..." Samus muttered with anger.

"...I-it can't be! What is that monster doing in here?!" Chris said.

"I-it's a monster!" Olimar yelled.

"Big!" Yoshi commented by ducking.

"A-and it's purple!" Luigi yelled.

"..." everyone noticed that what Luigi said didn't make any sense whatsoever and looked at it.

"...So this is the origin of those screeches earlier..." Samus said as she prepared her arm cannon. "...Ridley..."

VS. Ridley

The pterodactyl and Space Pirate leader, Ridley itself, screeched in response as the Smashers gasped but then took fighting stances afterward.

"T-that monster was the one who did those screeches?!" Yoshi asked with a gulp.

"Not only Ridley was doing those screeches, but it was also spying us from some of the galaxies." Samus said.

"For what?" Chris asked sweating.

"To attack at the appropiate moment, but it wanted to do it when we were alone without anything else bothering us."

"Or maybe..." C. Falcon wondered. "Ridley was trying to take Samus out."

"U-ugh..." Samus stammered a little but then motioned at Chris. "Chris, let me use that."

"W-what's that and why is the people not mentioning what they mean this day?!" Chris asked.

"The Smash Ball. I know we can use items whenever we want." Samus said as she took out mentioned item, which everyone looked surprised and then glared at Chris.

"...Oh, you know perfectly why I didn't tell you, so don't blame me!"

"Can I use it?" Samus asked as Ridley roared furiously. "I need to take that thing down once and for all."

"You know, it's not going to go down "once and for all" since it'll be bac-" Geno stopped once Samus aimed her arm cannon at him without even looking. "Seriously, why you people tend to use violence to resolve anythi-"

Geno was blasted off by a super missile on the face.

"...Geno?" Twink asked worried.

"...Never...make a girl mad..." Geno muttered. "...Oww..."

"Screw it," Samus said as she shot a Charged Shot at the Smash Ball and gained its powers. "It's time to end this."

Ridley let out a huge roar before Samus's Power Suit began to shine brightly before a huge beam of energy came out from her arm cannon and covered Ridley completely at full force. It roared loudly in pain as Samus stopped and dropped to one knee, panting heavily.

"Samus!" C. Falcon yelled.

Something seemed to overload Samus's Power Suit and it shone brightly...

Music stops

...And you guessed it. Her suit was gone, but now she wore the Zero Suit.

"M-MAMA MIA!" Luigi blocked his nose for some reason.

"HOLY..." C. Falcon blocked his nose as well.

"...Oh boy..." Olimar commented with wide eyes.

"..." Yoshi couldn't speak more.

"Twink, look another way!" Geno said as he turned Twink to an opposite direction, though the star didn't have anything weird.

"Why?" Twink asked.

"...Oh, you people!" Samus said ashamed.

(And since writing ZZS or Zero Suit Samus is kind of long and useless, we're not going to say that and write her name only).

"I can't believe you all!" Samus said.

Fox (blocked nose) glared at her. "Hey, who decided to hav-"

"Dare to finish that sentence and I'll lash you down." Samus said coldly.

Fox grumbled, then looked at Chris and Falco...perfectly fine. "...How come you 2 aren't affected?"

Falco rolled his eyes. "I told you, I'm not interested in girls anymore! I let that part of myself out."

"And he totally did," Chris said nodding. "Oh, and I'm not interested in girls. That's why I'm not affected."

"WHAT?!" C. Falcon asked. "W-what kind of teenager are you?! Teens like you should be drooling over he-OWW!"

Samus prepared another paralyzer shot. "Please, don't make me hurt you."

"A-as I was saying, you're supposed to like girls ESPECIALLY at your age!"

Chris pouted a little. "Hey! I'm not like the normal people at my school who can't even stop kissing girls every time I turn around!"

"You should be like that!"

"WHAT?!" Chris asked enraged. "T-that's IT!" Chris changed to his Scholar job and looked through the pages as he held a Super Mushroom. "I am going to crush you down at TRIPLE size for saying such a horrible and disgusting personality trait I detest so much!"

"Wait," Mario interrupted. "Why don't you use that on Ridley?"

"Ridley?" everyone repeated before Ridley (apparently mad off for being ignored) roared loudly, thus also telling that he was still living.

"N-no!" Samus said. "That beam was supposed to defeat it!"

"Maybe it was not enough..." Chris said.

"I told you," Kawashima rolled his eyes. "Your Final Smashes aren't 1-hit KOs! You have to fight it normally!"

"...Okay." Chris nodded with a serious face.

VS. Ridley

"...What the?!" Chris looked shocked once he found the pages to use Item Lore on the Super Mushroom, which he decided to store it.

"Hey! You should've used it on me!" Falco complained.

"I-I cannot!"

"Why you "cannot"?"

Chris flipped many pages. "I-it says here that I should have more experience in order to unlock certain items to be used with Item Lore...meaning that I cannot multiply the effects of the Super Mushroom!"

"...What else is in there?" Yoshi asked.

"Not good..." Chris flipped many pages where he couldn't read the complicated spells. "Many items are not available to be used with Item Lore... Only the most pathetic items can be used with that... The Banana Peel, Timer and...why a Mr. Saturn?" Chris asked utterly confused as he changed to his Pikmin Captain job. "Sorry... I guess we should fight it normally."

"Good." Mario said simply.

"...That's all? Why?"

"IT'S FIRING ITS LASER!" Mario yelled as everyone looked back at Ridley, who shot an enormous energy beam that collided with the Subspace Bomb and pushed them around it. Samus hit her head with 1 of the R.O.B.s and Yoshi accidentaly hit his arm with one of their heads.

"...Do we...have a chance?" Yoshi asked as he stood up and rubbed the spot where he hit himself by accident.

"Not if we don't have a strategy..." Samus said.

"Strategy..." Chris wondered.

"You have one?"

"No!" Chris said in panic as he grabbed a White Pikmin out. "I'd say go all-out on it!"

Ridley roared furiously and flew away from the planetoid.

"I kno-"

"Shoot it down!" Fox yelled as the ones who had long-range weapons began to fire (or throw in Olimar's case) projectiles.

"H-hey! I was going to say tha-aw, screw it!" Chris tossed several Pikmins to Ridley...which didn't reach it, since it was far away. This also meant that Olimar was useless as well.

"W-we should wait for it to get closer..." Olimar said to Chris.

"Dammit!" Samus cursed. "My Paralyzer's shots can't reach it. The shots can't even go further than 4 feet..."

"It's useless for me," Fox said as he put his Blaster back to its holdster. "My shots can't go that further either."

"My bullets can reach it." Geno said as he fired several bullets at the pterodactyl.

"So that's my area as well then." Falco said with a grin as his shots were able to reach Ridley.

"But at least land one on it!" Yoshi complained as every shot failed to touch Ridley.

"Oh, I'd like to see you do it better than me." Falco said as he rolled his eyes.

Yoshi did the same thing, walked to Falco, ducked to see his Blaster and simply moved it further to the left as Falco fired a shot and landed on one of Ridley's wings. "There." Yoshi said.

"...I hate you." Falco muttered.

"...U-uh-oh..." Luigi backed away.

"What?" Chris asked.

"I-I don't think it liked that shot..."

"Why?"

"LOOK!" Luigi yelled as Ridley was shown flying to them with its claws pointing at them.

"It's going to grab one of us! Get out of the way!" Samus yelled as everyone quickly dispersed.

However, Ridley shot a fire blast that exploded right next to Samus, which made her back away before one of Ridley's claws grabbed her and took her away from the planetoid.

"SAMUS!" everyone yelled before Geno and Falco returned to fire their shots at it.

"UGH!" Samus twitched in pain as the claw increased its grip on her, slowly crushing her body.

"We have to help her or else she'll die!" Mario said in panic.

"Long-range magic, Chris!" Kawashima suggested.

"R-right!" Chris changed to his ISOKFMG (insane long job's name) and called forth Tokunaga before he spun his adquired staff that appeared on his right hand, above his head. "O twisted door of distortion, open wide!"

"Hurry!" Kawashima said in panic. "She won't resist for much longer in that suit!"

"NEGATIVE GATE!!!"

A twisted portal of darkness appeared on Ridley's way and it began to suck the pterodactyl inside.

"Yeah...it's working!" deja vu for Falco, I-I mean, Falco said.

"...Oh no!" Mario said.

Chris got annoyed. "What is it, Captain Panic?!"

Chris looked at Ridley dodging the twisted portal as he spun around it and kept increasing its grip.

"HELP!" Samus cried out in pain.

"THE HELL, MAN!" C. Falcon yelled angrily at Chris. "DO SOMETHING FAST!"

"S-stop yelling at me!" Chris said angrily (as Tokunaga did or motioned the same thing).

"She's going to die! Oh man oh man oh man oh god!" Luigi panicked.

"Quick!" Fox hasted.

"I-I'm doing the best I can do!" Chris said as he spun his staff as magic glowed beneath him.

"Geno Whirl!" Geno threw a fast yellow ring that went soaring the air towards Ridley, but the monster dodged it. "Damn it!"

"Huh?" Chris said confused as he shone a little before a second could pass. "I'll smash you with a giant hammer!"

"Then do it!" Yoshi yelled.

"MIRACLE HAMMER!!!"

A big hammer of light appeared and spun above Ridley before it slammed itself hard on its head, causing Ridely to roar in pain as it released Samus, who got caught on C. Falcon's arms in time.

"Samus!" C. Falcon called. "Samus, tell me you're still breathing!"

Samus coughed some blood, but she wiped it out and go off from C. Falcon's arms. "I'm...not feeling good..."

"Don't worry!" Chris said as he changed to his Fonic Hymn User (thus disappearing Tokunaga). "I'll heal yo-"

"WATCH OUT!" Luigi yelled as Ridley came from below the planet and sliced Chris's face with its claws.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH----------!!!"

"...Huh?" Yoshi looked at Chris, who was apparently screaming in pain as several cuts appeared on his face. "...Chris, you're not yelling at all..."

"!!!" Chris tried to yell but he couldn't do anything.

"...Oh my god..." Kawashima began. "...Chris was silenced...with Silence?"

"Silence?" Twink asked worried.

Kawashima nodded inside the DS. "Silence is an ailment that prevents you from using your mouth, thus cancelling magic attacks from being used. If it is used on some on you, your special attacks won't be used unless you're cured."

"Like my Falcon Punch?" C. Falcon asked.

"Exactly."

"!!!" Chris tried to cast a spell to heal Samus, but the magic that once appeared didn't appear. "...!!! !!! !!!..." Chris tried and tried, but he couldn't speak. "..." Chris looked down sadly.

"And if Chris is silenced...he won't change jobs as well." Kawashima finished the explanation.

"..." Chris seemed to sniff.

"...My god, this isn't looking so well..." Yoshi said worried.

"Isn't there any way to cure him?" Geno asked.

"There is," Kawashima said. "Chris bought a special ability that lets anyone, that is not him, heal status ailment when you knock down an enemy with a critical hit."

"And what else?" Twink asked.

"When you do, your right hand should glow a little, then you have to run to the one you want to cure and hit him with all your forces to heal him."

"...That sounds actually stupid," Fox said with an annoyed look. "Why hit Chris when we want to HEAL him?"

"Look, I didn't make these rules, Master Hand did."

"...But how are we going to knock Ridley down?" Yoshi asked as Ridley flew around the planetoid to prepare another attack. "That monster is just too big..."

"...Unless we lure it to one of us and land a hit." Falco suggested.

"Oh, gaining a critical hit is hard to achieve, since it'll only has 10 percent of happening. Depending how well you do, the healing hit will appear faster otherwise."

"...Just great." Mario said worried.

"We're officialy screwed and done for." Falco said with a frown.

"Oh, another thing," Kawashima went on. "Multiple hits have more chances to land a critical hit, so keep hitting Ridley until you knock it down."

Ridley roared loudly as it charged at them, with a wing ready to slice them. "H-hurry! It's coming!" Olimar yelled.

"Multiple hits..." C. Falcon wondered.

"MOVE OUT!" Yoshi yelled as everyone rolled out of the way from Ridley as it flew forward but then turned at them. "It's coming back again!"

"D-darn that monster..." Samus muttered as she coughed.

"Don't strain yourself..." Twink said worried.

"I'm...fine..." Samus said with a weak nod.

"Wait," C. Falcon looked at Samus. "I think I have an idea."

"...Huh?"

"Samus, can you use your Paralyzer gun to stun Ridley for a moment?"

"...Yes...but I don't know if it'll work, whatever you have in mind."

"Trust me. You have to land a small shot on Ridley to stun it long enough for me to land my fast-punches on its deformed body."

"Ridley is not immune against stun attacks," Kawashima explained. "It isn't weak against electricity, but to be stunned, it is."

"See? We have to give it a try to get you and Chris healed! Or do you want to lose against the monster who killed your parents?!"

"..." Samus closed her eyes.

"...That was pretty deep." Geno commented.

"And not so good." Yoshi added.

"Y-yeah..." Luigi nodded.

"..." Samus opened her eyes with a glare towards the pterodactyl, who roared furiously as it went after them again.

"It's coming back as always. Stun it!" C. Falcon said.

"..." Samus quickly stood up and charged at Ridley.

"The hell is she doing?!"

"She's going to get close to Ridley to then paralyze it?" Twink asked.

"Just as you said." Geno said.

Ridley roared enraged as it extended its claws from its feet to Samus. However, the bounty hunter used her Flip Kick and jumped high above the monster to struck down her right foot on its neck.

"No! You had to paralyze i-" Mario was interrupted as they all gasped when Samus pulled out her Paralyzer gun and struck it on Ridley's neck, electrocuting the flying dinosaur as it roared in pain and landed hard on the planetoid.

"Hurry!" Samus grunted as her weapon kept releasing electricity. "It won't hold on for much longer before it overcharges!"

"We have to attack it with everything we have. C'mon!" C. Falcon yelled as everyone charged at Ridley and soon enough, began to attack him around its body continuously without stopping.

"Keep attacking it!" Fox yelled as he grunted, kicking Ridley's left wing continuously. "We have to heal Chris so he can heal us back!"

Chris, who was standing several feet away, looked at everyone hitting the monster that he blinked several times as his eyes trembled in surprise.

"NOW!" C. Falcon dealt a fast and last punch on Ridley's face that the monster felt that it got pushed slightly. C. Falcon noticed a glow on his right fist as he clenched it and ran towards Chris. "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

PUNCH!!!

"OWW!" Chris yelled in pain as he backed away. "Thank you so much!"

"...Ouch," C. Falcon commented. "That hit was actually very strong, and you're still feeling fine?"

"Of course not!" Chris yelled angrily before he shook his head. "...Wait, why did I thank you like that? I was supposed to be angry but...the words just went out from my mouth..."

"Er..." Kawashima shifted his eyes. "...I think it was a small glitch that it got along the ability."

"...I'm so going to yell at that hand later..." Chris muttered angrily.

"LOOK OUT!" Olimar yelled as Ridley flapped its wings to push everyone away with the force of the wind, roared loudly and flew upwards.

"Hurry and cure Samus!" C. Falcon said.

"R-right!" Chris nodded as magic glowed below him. "(Why did Ridley silence me?... Ridley doesn't have that at all...unless...) Come forth, o illumination of life!... Healing Circle!"

A circle of holy light appeared under Samus and she slowly, but greatly, recovered her life back as she sighed in relief.

"That was so close..." Chris dropped to his knees. "...I'm exhausted..."

"Sadly," Yoshi said. "We haven't defeated Ridley yet..."

"...Where'd it go?" Geno asked before they all looked above and found Ridley entering inside the magma. "...Is it nuts?"

"It killed itself," Falco chuckled. "That was stupid."

"...I don't think it killed itself..." Mario said worried.

"W-why?" Luigi asked.

They managed to see a small, flaming dot that got increasing in size before they noticed that Ridley covered itself with magma while it roared furiously.

"Wait, the magma didn't kill it?" Yoshi asked confused.

"...We have to move out!" Samus yelled.

"Why?" C. Falcon asked.

"It got covered in magma just to drop it all on us!"

"...Okay..." Olimar began. "...Now that sounds like an awful idea..."

"...Isn't magma too hot and bad for us?" Luigi asked.

"Yes..." Twink said.

Ridley quickly dove at them but them came at full stop to push out the magma that leaked out its body and rained down on everyone, who yelled in pain as the hot liquid touched many parts of their bodies and twitched in pain before Ridley shot a charged blast from its mouth and fired it at Mario, who screamed in pain as his body bumped several times on the floor and stopped.

"...U...ugh..." Mario twitched in pain.

"Mario!" Luigi, Geno and Twink yelled worried.

"Chris, quick, see me!" Kawashima called out and Chris took him out, where the professor showed him what looked to be many meters with their names on the top of every single meter. "Everyone's life health is at a critical condition. If you get attacked, let's say, 4 more times, it's game over!"

"(...G-game...over?)" Chris thought as a shiver fell down his back. "T-then we're in danger to d-die?"

Kawashima nodded. "Or you attack or you get killed. That's your decision."

"R-Rosalina..." Yoshi muttered weakly as he slowly stood up. "...I...won't die...here..."

"I can't believe we're getting our heads handed to it..." Falco said as he grabbed his right arm. "I knew there was something wrong with this..."

"I suggest to use the items," Kawashima wondered for a moment. "Try to find a strategy to counterattack Ridley and exploit a weakness...which it doesn't have."

"Any other...advice?" Luigi asked.

"Oh yeah," Kawashima said. "Why not use your Combinated Final Smashes? Surely, they will come in handy..."

Chris looked at Olimar, who took a step back. "...I'll try to find new ones..." Chris said as he changed to his Pikmin Captain and pluck 3 Yellow Pikmins. "Olimar..."

"...O-okay..." Olimar played with his fingers. "...I-I'll fight again..."

"...Where is Ridley?" Mario asked.

Suddenly, the planetoid shook before Ridley came from down below, grinding its claws along the floor as it slammed itself to the Smashers, who yelled in pain as they were pushed back while Ridley took out to the air and roared in triumph.

"I...hate that monster..." Samus muttered in pain.

"...That does it..." Chris said. "Everyone, I have a strategy."

Everyone looked at Chris. "You do?" Yoshi asked.

"Yes," Chris nodded. "The only way to defeat Ridley is by taking it down, where we are going to go all-out on it."

"Okay," Mario nodded. "What do you have in mind?"

"Simple. Now, listen to me..."

Once Chris told them about his strategy, they all spreaded out around the planetoid.

"It's coming right to you, C. Falcon!" Chris yelled. "Try to latch on its neck!"

"Roger that." C. Falcon said as Ridley extended its claws at him.

"Use its legs as platforms to reach its neck!"

C. Falcon nodded and quickly jumped to Ridley's legs and used Raptor Boost to deal fire damage right on its neck. Ridley seemed to be fine after the attack and it slap the captain down, where he rolled to prevent the damage and stood on his left knee.

"I forgot a detail..." Samus said as she panted a little. "Ridley is strong against fire attacks..."

Chris facepalmed. "...Oh well, that's just a little detail."

"It's turning to us again!" Mario yelled as they saw Ridley turning towards the planetoid again.

"(Let's see. Think fast. Ridley is accelerating greatly this time...) Fire at will and slow it down with shots!" Chris ordered as Fox and Falco used their Blasters on it. "Olimar, start throwing Pikmins after I-"

A sudden feeling appeared...

"(...Olimar?)"

"(O-oh no, we're dead?!)" Olimar asked.

"(No... This sudden feeling indicates that we can use our attacks at the same time...)"

"(H-how does it work?)" Olimar asked confused.

Chris explained everything to Olimar.

"(H-hmm...)" Olimar nodded.

"(Incidentally, you know how, right?)"

"(I-it's funny, because I happen to know what to do...)"

"(Good... Do you want to try?)"

"(I-is this going to get rid of that monster?)"

"(...)" Chris gulped. "Let's find out... I'm worried, but we have to try."

"FALL BACK!" Mario yelled as Ridley kept descending to grab one of them with its claws.

"Wait, it's slowing down!" Falco yelled as Ridley's speed began to decrease.

"Olimar!" Chris yelled before Olimar ran to him.

"I-I'm ready, but please, LET'S DO SOMETHING!" Olimar panicked.

"One by one," Chris said as Olimar ducked and began to pluck Pikmin after Pikmin which he tossed above to let Chris grab them and toss them at Ridley, who roared as it stopped in the air and tried to shook them off. However, the Pikmins seemed to be stuck on its body as they banged all over it while the 2 Pikmin Captains tossed Pikmins like if there was no end. "Hit and hit!"

"It's...getting covered by them..." Yoshi said as they all saw Ridley getting covered by Pikmins of all the 5 known colors while the Space Pirate roared in pain.

"L-last one. H-here!" Olimar said as he tossed a Purple Pikmin to Chris, who quickly grabbed it by its leaf and tossed it with all forces to the beast.

"Pikmin Plethora!" Chris and Olimar yelled in unison as the Pikmins (that were 100) banged and banged the pterodactyl continuosly before Ridley flapped its wings and killed them all.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Olimar yelled in agony.

New ability learned! Pikmin Plethora!

Enables 100 Pikmins on the field and tosses them to a single enemy. Deals a great amount of damage (it can deal higher damage if the enemy refuses to shook them off).

"1106 Pikmins..." Olimar sniffed while Ridley roared angrily and took off.

"What about the other Pikmins with the battle against Bowser?" Chris asked.

"1158 Pikmins..." Olimar corrected himself as Chris patted his back.

"..." Chris remembered something. "Ridley is still living?! The hell is wrong with it?!"

Ridley screeched again as it dove down above Olimar, because it wanted revenge for what he did.

"It's going after Olimar!" Yoshi yelled.

"Geno! Your beam, on that creature, now!" Chris yelled.

"Right." Geno nodded as he fired a big beam from his hand that collided into Ridley and stopped him from diving down.

"Over Limit gauge ready!" Kawashima yelled.

"Good, that's going to give us an advantage..." Chris wondered. "Now, who shall we..." he looked at Luigi. "...Luigi?"

"NO NO NO NO!" Luigi yelled in panic as he ducked and trembled. "I-I don't wanna!"

"Wanna what?"

"T-to hit Ridley! I-it's scary!"

"...But you don't have to! You have to use your Final Smash on it!"

"..." Luigi looked at Chris over his shoulder.

"I'm letting you do it because I think it's going to help us a lot."

"Why can't I use it instead?" Falco asked annoyed.

"Because Fox would hate you otherwise."

"What? Why?" Fox asked.

"Luigi!" Chris ignored the previous 2. "Gather whatever ounce of courage you have left and show that thing who's...er...courage you have left?"

"..." Luigi looked up and made a serious face with a nod, then he adjusted his hat (blocking his eyes so Chris adjusted it for him) and stood up.

"Okay..." Chris told Luigi to move ahead. "Stand there."

A record scratched inside Luigi's mind. "H-hey! Y-you're not going to use me as bait, r-right?!"

"(Hell yes.) Of course not!" Chris shook his head. "I'm having you stay there so you can activate your Final Smash at the right moment. When I give you the order, once you activate it, run at Ridley and use it!"

"...Maybe you should change strategies." Twink suggested.

"Why?"

Twink pointed up where several energy blasts came at full speed at them and pushed them back as some of them fell on the floor in pain. Most of them looked up to see Ridley firing many blasts of energy.

"Ridley is..." Samus began as she coughed. "Trying to demolish our plans... It's an intelligent...lifeform after all..."

"Dammit..." Chris muttered. "Is everyone...alright?"

The World Traveler looked around and found some of them fainted.

"O-oh no!" Chris ran to C. Falcon. "P-please, get up!"

"..." C. Falcon didn't respond.

"W-we need reflective skills, s-so..." Chris also found Fox and Falco without energies left, thus they were fainted. "...This isn't going to turn out well..." he looked around. "O-Olimar!"

"..." Olimar didn't respond as well.

"I-I'm fine..." Mario said as he slowly walked to Chris.

"M-m-me too..." Luigi said trembling in horror.

"We're...fine as well..." Geno said weakly while Twink seemed to get hurt as well.

"O-ouch..." Twink moaned in pain and hid inside Geno's cape.

"I'm...can't fight...but I...have to..." Yoshi muttered weakly.

"..." the World Traveler lost 4 out of 10. Their strategies were being shortened little by little as the Space Pirate defeated them one by one. "...We can't...lose... Not like...this..." Chris said weakly as he dropped to his knees. "I'm...too tired...and I won't...be able to use...magic to cure...anymore..."

"Use the Maxim Tomato!" Kawashima said. "It'll let you cure at least one more person, besides curing your wounds!"

"..." Chris took out the mentioned item and bit it slowly until he finished it...well, it instantly vanished in 1 second after he bit it. "...What the hell? I-I just did one small bite and it disappeared!"

"Good! You recovered your health a little!"

"It seems...so..." Chris said before he changed to his Scholar job and flipped through the pages. "Heal the wounds... Cure!"

A small blue light circled around the remaining Smashers as they recovered their energies a little before Chris fell on his knees again.

"...Impossible..." Chris muttered. "M-my body cannot...let me cast...more magic spells..."

"I-it's coming!" Yoshi yelled as Ridley roared and dove after them.

"L-Luigi!" Chris yelled. "It is your time!"

Luigi gulped before he stood where Ridley was coming (after Samus) and he closed his eyes. "...May as well consider me dead..." Samus muttered ashamed. "This is...embarrassing..."

"T-that's not true!" Luigi yelled as he looked up to the Space Pirate. With a gulp of preocupation, he started to do it.

"HURRY!" Geno yelled.

"L-Luigi time!" Luigi proclaimed with a fist in the air as a force pushed back the monster with a roar of pain. A rainbow aura covered Luigi as he looked at his hands, glowing with the ability.

Chris narrowed his eyes as he saw Ridley falling on the planetoid by the force. "It is down...LUIGI! Run to it and use your Final Smash!"

"(Gulp...)...AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Luigi gulped worried as he ran to Ridley with a yell of war as the others watched him calling forth...

"...What is HE doing?" Yoshi asked.

A twisted dimension (that Twink considered it to be the hippie world) surrounded the pterodactyl and the green plumber, who was dancing weirdly around with the oddest moves ever.

"Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Luigi said (apparently echoing).

"...Look!" Mario said as they all saw Ridley standing up, but it seemed that the weird atmosphere that Luigi called forth made it feel utterly weird and plain confused. Ridley, then, roared before it began to bang its head (on the nearby R.O.B.) and roared in pain everytime it hit its head until it seemed to fall asleep with open wings as the (hippie) atmosphere shrunk and shrunk until it was gone as Luigi finished his dance and blinked.

"...W-wow..." Luigi shrugged as before he looked down at Ridley. "WAAAAAAAAH!!!" Luigi screamed and ran to Mario's back.

"Wait, isn't that..." Yoshi trailed off as a flower was on Ridley's head.

"Random status ailments!" Kawashima yelled. "It seems Luigi inflicted a whole lot of status ailments: drastically reduced attack power, greater launch distance when hit, increased likelihood of slipping, steady increase in damage percentage, flower growth on head, dizziness, uncontrollable taunting, sudden sleepiness and decreased movement speed!"

"..." Samus looked at Luigi as she got up. "...That's a whole bunch of illnesses..."

Luigi blushed. "W-well, I-I'm Luigi, a-and I showed it who's boss, r-right?" Luigi asked.

Persona 3 FES - Mass Destruction

"Hello?" Twink called. "We have a downed beast that's sleeping with a bunch of bad status ailments!"

"Right," Samus took out her Paralyzer gun. "It is now or never..."

Chris coughed before he got up, changed to his Thief job and took out his dagger. "Everyone...listen well...attack it just as I say...Mario!"

"Hmm?" Mario looked at Chris, who took out the Super Mushroom and tossed it to Mario who grew the double of his size. "Huh?"

"Star Spin!" Chris ordered. Mario blinked several times before he ran after Ridley and used a stronger Star Spin to push it high into the air. Ridley roared in pain but it couldn't manage to move quickly, since its speed was reduced and began to fall down.

"Hurry!" Kawashima yelled. "The ailments won't last for much longer. You have to take advantage of them!"

"Alright..." Chris nodded as he looked at Ridley about to fall on Falco. "O-oh no, you won't!" Chris quickly ran after Falco (apparently, Chris's speed was increased thanks to the job) and managed to grab Falco on his arms (though the bird was heavy, even if Chris was taller...but then again, Chris didn't have much strength) before Ridley fell on the floor.

Chris (accidentaly dropping Falco like he didn't care or minded) gave out more orders. "Yoshi, Egg Roll on its head!"

"Humph!" Yoshi nodded with a grunt as he turned into a rolling egg and rolled towards Ridley's head, hitting it with a strong slam that pushed it back along the floor.

"Luigi, charged Green Missile!"

"(I-I can do this... I can...do this!)" Luigi thought desperately as he ducked and concentrated to charged his missile, but then, he went blasting off to Ridley's right wing that it burned a lot, making Ridley wake up in pain.

"A random boost?... Phew..." Chris sighed. "Everything is...going according to the plan..."

"Thank god Luigi's Final Smash weakned Ridley's resistance to fire..." Kawashima said. "...Say, why don't you steal an item from Ridley?"

"An item? Does he...have one?"

"It may not look like, but bosses occasionally carry items without them even knowing about it."

Chris gulped as he focused his eyes on Ridley, who slowly got up and tried to escape from their range of attack. Suddenly, an electric whip wrapped around Ridley's neck and it roared in pain as it tried to take it off with its claws, but it failed as the whip eletrocuted them.

"You won't..." Samus muttered as she narrowed her eyes and put a strong grip on her Paralyzer gun. "Get away and live..."

"Your cue!" Kawashima said.

Chris nodded and dashed along the floor before leaping on Ridley's back, where he looked around for an item that he considered imaginary...

...But he found a Beam Sword that he stared in surprise with his jaw dropping a little bit.

"...The hell?" Chris asked confused.

Samus looked up as she gritted her teeth. "I have an idea, use it on its wing!"

Chris looked at Ridley's right wing and looked at the sword on his hands. "...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!" Chris leaped to the wing and struck down the sword on the yellow-glowing skin that passed through it, then the World Traveler went down as the sword's beam cut the wing quickly, making Ridley roar in extreme pain as it tried to fly, but its damaged wing prevent it from flying.

"Yes! It can't fly anymore!" Mario said (now back to his normal size) smiling a bit. Ridley began to charge a laser from its mouth. "...Oh no..."

[The Seventh]

OMGOMGOMGOMG

You're doing an awesome job.  EPIC BATTLE, NONETHELESS.

[makuta]

And don't forget, there is still Meta-Ridley to fight.

Which will be even more awesome.

OR ELSE...

[DededeCloneChris]

And don't forget, there is still Meta-Ridley to fight.

Which will be even more awesome.

OR ELSE...

Yes, yes and no.

Meta-Ridley isn't finished yet to appear.

[DededeCloneChris]

"...Isn't that getting bigger?" Luigi asked as the energy gathering in Ridley's mouth grow in size. The flower that hung on its head fell off.

"The illnesses are gone. Be careful!" Kawashima yelled.

"We're in its range. Move!" Samus yelled.

However, an egg was tossed right into its mouth and Ridley choked on it and grabbed its throat in pain as the energy ball vanished.

They all looked at Yoshi holding a Yoshi Egg on his right hand as he panted heavily. "...Hope...that teaches you...not to mess...with us...and me..."

"It's not down yet..." Geno said.

"Time to move on." Samus said as she nodded at Chris, who nodded back.

"Geno, boost Samus's strength and defense!"

"Roger that." Geno concentrated his magic and several red arrows that appeared around Samus went up before disappearing. Samus felt a little bit stronger and put a stronger grip on her gun as Ridley choked even more.

"Now, Geno Beam at its stomach! Samus, stop grabbing its neck," Chris changed to his Chozo Arts job and took out his gun. "Let's attack it together, and when I mean together, I mean everyone here!"

The Smashers nodded as Geno fire his beam at the monster's stomach, making Ridley yell in pain as it backed away and seemed to pant.

"NOOOOOOOOOW!!!" Luigi yelled as the 6 (plus Twink) ran to Ridley and started their attacks.

"Its tail is going to slam us away!" Twink yelled as Ridley moved its tail towards them.

"Star Spin, Mario!" Chris yelled loudly and Mario ran towards the tail and used a Star Spin which pushed the tail back to Ridley's body and pushed itself back more.

"Its claws a-are going to slash us!" Luigi yelled.

"Not...today!" Chris yelled as he fired a small shot that paralyzed the right claw from moving. Samus narrowed her eyes and shot a paralyzer shot at the other claw as it got stunned.

"W-watch out!" Mario yelled as Ridley moved its head back with a roar and dove it to Geno.

"Yoshi, egg to throat, now!"

"Yah!" Yoshi tossed a Yoshi Egg to Ridley's throat, which upon impact broke in pieces and dealt damage to the monster, who roared again in pain and decided to fall on them with opened wings and arms.

"Its tactics are getting easier to predict and evade..." Samus said as they rolled in time from the crushing impact while Ridley roared furiously.

"Luigi!" Chris yelled.

Luigi gulped.

"Super Fire Punch on its...wait, it won't work..."

"...Can I go and see how are the others?" Luigi asked.

"...Sure..." Chris gave him a small smile. Luigi chuckled happily as he ran to the other fainted Smashers.

"It looks like Ridley won't hold on for much longer," Kawashima said. "Finish it!"

"Yes..."

And there was the sudden feeling again.

"(We shall kill that bastard.)" Samus said.

"(...That was a fast response...)" Chris sweatdropped.

Samus ran to Ridley's right side as the monster roared angrily. Chris positioned on the other side before Ridley focused its yellow right eye on the World Traveler, who gulped in response but made a serious look as he held the Paralyzer close to his face.

"Try us." Samus said coldly as both ran towards Ridley, who roared and tried to slash them. However, both used their Flip Jumps and gracefully used its claws as platforms to jump even higher as they spun above.

Both reach Ridley's neck as they were still spinning and landed 2 kicks at the same time on each side that made Ridley feel a big pain, then, both used their electric whips to wrap them around the throat and landed back on the floor as they pulled back their guns, hurting Ridley as several sparks flew off while it tried to take it off.

"A little more bloody..." Chris said as both clicked several buttons on their guns, and blue scythe-looking plasma objects formed on the tips of their whips.

"With..."

Music stops

"A simple deadly, mortal pull..." Samus finished...

CRIUSH!!!

"YIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!"

...As both suddenly pulled with all their forces their whips to make them return, and as they pulled them back, the scythes that formed sliced Ridley's throat greatly while they spun around its throat many times before they returned back to the guns.

"Scythe Whip." Chris and Samus said simply in unison.

New ability learned! Scythe Whip!

Use 2 Flip Jumps to cross the enemy from above to wrap the electric whips with small scythes around a specified area of the body, then pull them back to slice the enemy down. Deals a big amount of damage to a single enemy

It was the end...

Ridley screeched as many times as it could and tumbled to the sides. The monster was now suffering a lot of pain that was inflicted upon it as the Smashers backed away from the Space Pirate leader that let out a loud roar of defeat before it fell down and fainted.

"...Allow me to use this..." Yoshi said as he picked up the Beam Sword. The Yoshi stepped on Ridley's back, struck down the sword and spun it on its body. "Hmm-hmm-hmm..."

Ridley roared in extreme pain for a last time before its head slammed on the floor, thus fainting.

"...Hmm..." Yoshi pulled back the Beam Sword and gave it back to Chris.

"...For what was that act of sick violence for?" Chris asked.

Yoshi smiled. "To free my inner rage on it."

Victory! - Samus (Metroid)

"And..." Twink smiled. "You...did it! You defeated it!"

"...Thanks..." Samus muttered before she fell on her knees, which made them gasp.

"S-Samus!" Chris said worried.

"...Thank you..." Samus said as she looked up to Chris with a small smile. "...Ridley was...defeated...thanks to you all..."

"..." Chris wiped a tear. "...You're welcome...Samus..."

Samus chuckled heartily as the Smashers looked at each other and chuckled as well.

"E-everyone!" Luigi called from where Olimar was, the second character waking up as he shook his head and moaned a little. "T-they're coming back!"

The other 3 grunted in pain and managed to wake up from their states before slowly standing up.

"...Did we...win?" C. Falcon asked.

The 4 looked at Ridley, defeated on the floor and not moving anymore.

"...Finally..." Fox sighed. "That monster is gone..."

"And that means...this world was saved..." Geno said before looking down. "...But...Kalmar wasn't here... I was wrong..."

"...Geno?" Twink asked. "...Why are you not looking up?"

"...The countdown!"

The Smashers' eyes widened as they looked down at the coutdown they forgot for the entire battle.

"5-5 minutes?!" Olimar pointed out in panic.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no..." Chris looked around. "W-we're trapped in here!"

"No!" Falco clenched a fist. "This is...just...stupid...grr!!!"

"After all, w-we're going to get killed?!" Yoshi asked in panic.

"It sadly looks like it..." Samus said ashamed.

Airship

"BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!" Bowser laughed maniacally. "They were already done for after they stepped on my new galaxy. Those imbeciles had it coming!"

Dedede smirked. "And it's about time we win."

Bowser nodded. "Yeah. They won't get the Grand Star, because it's hidden in Peach's Castle and not where I originally planned it to be."

The trio looked at an enormous sun that was located close to them. Several rock platforms were all around it.

"This, my friends, is where my new galaxy will be born." Bowser said with a smirk.

"Remember the deal," Charizard said. "Don't forget."

"..." Bowser merely frowned.

Peach and Rosalina looked at each other with concerned looks as they sighed disappointed. "...Mario..." Peach muttered.

"..." Rosalina wasn't able to speak, but she thought about Mario, Yoshi and the others before she closed her eyes in sadness.

"...Huh?" Peach spotted a blink in the space. "...What is that?"

Rosalina opened her eyes and looked at the blink that apparently got bigger and bigger. The princess then looked at Peach's Castle with a big hole on its back. "Peach, why is your castle damaged?"

"Huh?" Peach looked at the hole in the wall. "W-well, I don't remember exactly why is that hole there...but the shape of it...it looked like a big Starman..."

"A big...Starman..." Rosalina wondered for a moment. "...You don't mean..."

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The princesses blinked in confusion as a familiar yell came from the same direction of the blink. Both of them edged closer to see the small object that was also screaming in utter terror...

"PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCHHH!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOSAAAAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"...That voice is familiar, but..." Peach turned at the costellation of magma. "...He should be trapped in there..."

"...No..." Rosalina shook her head and smiled a little as Peach tilted her head, confused. "...There are 2..."

"...2?" Peach repeated confused.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The trio of villains (who then were reunited with Bowser Jr., who recovered his paintbrush) looked behind the airship. "...The green dude?!" Bowser said enraged with clenched fists and a grunt.

Super Mario Galaxy - Good Egg Galaxy

"BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" the other Luigi yelled as he tried to hold the Grand Star as long as he could.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" the villains yelled in panic as the Grand Star dove down and impacted the ship with a loud crash. The villains were sent blasting off to the big sun while the other Luigi managed to catch the princesses, who held on to the star as it flew around.

How did the other Luigi get the Grand Star?

Flashback

"O-oh no..." the other Luigi said as he saw the Smashers being blasted off inside the costellation. "...M-me, please be safe..." the other Luigi looked around. "...Well...I said I was going to help them in the most desperate moment so..."

There was the castle, several feet away from the tower that he was in. The other Luigi jumped to the doors, he opened them and stepped inside the castle, where he noticed a strong glow coming from one of the rooms. "Huh? Isn't that where the storage room is?" the other Luigi asked as he went further.

After going through a long hall and opening a door, the other Luigi gasped when he found the Grand Star inside a big container, where a button was located that had a note right next to it.

"..."Please, do NOT touch this button to release the Grand Star. Otherwise, you will end in a very harmful punishment my Lord Bowser. Signed, Goomlo"..." the other Luigi read and stared at the red button. "...Hmm..." the other Luigi lifted his shoulders and pressed the button.

Upon releasing the Grand Star, it went a little bit out of control and began to spin around the room, scaring the other Luigi.

"N-no! D-don't go around like that and come here with me!"

The Grand Star stopped and it looked down at the other Luigi.

"...Wait, you can look and understand me?" the other Luigi asked surprised.

The Grand Star, surprisingly, blinked and moved back before...

CRASH!

"UUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

It pushed the other Luigi outside the wall in an attempt to escape as it flew away from the galaxy, taking the other Luigi who tried to stay on the Grand Star as much as he could before disappearing in the distance.

Dedede (who looked behind) blinked. "...What the heck was that?" Dedede asked but Bowser and Charizard were busy talking about the domination of the galaxy, making Dedede shudder and forget about the star.

End of flashback

"A-another Luigi?!" Peach asked confused as the trio tried to stay on the Grand Star.

Once Rosalina moved forward, the Grand Star stopped. "Good," Rosalina nodded and sighed in relief. "The Grand Star can feel my power and it's willing to listen to me."

"T-thank goodness..." the other Luigi sighed.

Peach was questioning herself in her mind about the other Luigi, but she shook her head and looked at Rosalina. "Excuse me...but could you take us to Mario and the others?"

"Yes," Rosalina nodded. "That is what I was thinking."

"S-save the other me!" the other Luigi pleaded.

"I will." Rosalina said as she commanded the star to get inside the costellation.

"...I hope they won the fight..." Peach hoped.

Music stops

Subspace Bomb Planet

"Ugh...ugh...ugh!" Chris was shown flying upwards (using the Moogle Knight job), but then he became tired and stopped his wings as he began to descend fastly, but Yoshi caught him on his back. "...Kupo..." Chris muttered weakly as he changed back to his Chozo Arts job. "...It's useless..."

"...Damn..." C. Falcon shook his head. "...This can't be the end..."

"..." Mario scratched his right arm and looked down. "...I'm sorry...I'm the one who dragged you all into this..."

"It was our job..." Geno looked down. "...But it ended like this..."

"...Then..." Yoshi took out a paper. "May as well tell my will before we die."

"What?" Twink asked.

"A will?" Olimar asked confused.

"Y-you have that with you all the time?" Luigi asked confused.

"Chris, I always thought you were cosplaying us." Yoshi read.

"I-I'm not cosplaying anyone!" Chris protested.

"C. Falcon, you're a pervert to me and you will always be."

"Duh," everyone except C. Falcon (who grunted) said.

"Mario and Luigi, both of you were good guys to me."

The Mario Bros. smiled a little (albeit everyone thought it was not fair).

"Olimar, you're probably Mario's lost cousin because of your nose."

Olimar looked at Mario and he looked back at him before shrugging.

"Fox, the first time I saw you I thought your face went through a heavy plastic surgery."

Most of them chuckled and blocked their mouths while Fox glared at them, then Chris stopped with a gulp.

"Same goes for Falco."

"HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!" Chris broke out laughing, despite Falco glaring at him.

"Samus, to be honest, I always thought you were a girl."

"At least someone thought right..." Samus said with a sigh.

"And..." Yoshi stopped and sniffed.

"Not to be rude, but that will sounded more like a "Things I wanted to say to the people I always see to piss them off, but I couldn't tell them" list." Falco said annoyed.

"..." Yoshi closed his eyes and tears began to run down his cheeks.

"...You okay?"

"...Rosa...Rosalina..." Yoshi sobbed and put the paper close to his face. "...I'm sorry...I failed you and the galaxy...I couldn't stop this..."

The others looked at each other with worried looks and looked down.

"...Please...forgive me...I did everything to protect the Lumas while you were abscent...I...I hope..." Yoshi looked up without opening his eyes. "I hope you're happy for the last action I did for you..."

"And I'm happy for that. Thank you so much, Yoshi..."

"...Huh?" everyone looked up and Yoshi opened his eyes.

Super Mario Galaxy - Good Egg Galaxy

"R-Rosalina!" Yoshi said clearing his tears as the others approached the Grand Star.

"Hurry!" Peach yelled. "The bomb is going to explode if we don't escape!"

"Jump to the star!" Mario yelled as everyone quickly jumped on the Grand Star that Rosalina commanded to fly away from the costellation.

"Me!"

"Me!"

"It's good to have you back!" the Luigis said happily as they laughed.

"...I thought he was dead..." C. Falcon muttered.

"Rosalina..." Yoshi sniffed, but Rosalina bent to rub his head (eyes) and smiled a little bit.

"Thank you, Yoshi..." Rosalina said. "Thank you for taking care of the Lumas for me..."

"..." Yoshi sobbed one last time before hugging Rosalina, who hugged him back as everyone looked them and smiled a bit in relief.

"We did it..." Mario said as he leaned to Peach. "We saved Peach, the galaxies, and Rosalina as well... I couldn't be much more relieved than this..."

"...Er..." Olimar looked back.

Comet Observatory

"Mama is coming back!" Polari yelled as the Lumas go out from the areas around the observatory and cheered as they saw Rosalina and the Smashers coming back on the Grand Star.

"Mama! Mama! Mama! You're back, Mama!" the Lumas cheered happily.

"Welcome party..." Peach said.

"Yes." Mario nodded.

Once the Grand Star landed, the Lumas surrounded Rosalina and cheered happily in unison as some of them went to hug her in happiness, while the Smashers watched from the big energy mass of Power Stars as Mario returned the Grand Star to it, which made it bigger and complete.

"...Wait..." Mario trailed off and turned to them. "Aren't we forgetting something?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Music stops

They all stopped talking and looked far away to the big sun that had Bowser and Jr., walking slowly to a dark portal that Dedede and Charizard used to return to the Subspace before it vanished.

"My...galaxy!" Bowser yelled as Jr. fainted. "My...reign! Everything is going down!... Why...WHY?!"

Then...it happened...

Inside the costellation, where they left Ridley behind, a huge sphere of nothingness began to grow massively until it covered the whole magma and remained there, floating silently in the space.

"...NO!" Chris yelled. "The Subspace Bomb...it...it blowed up!"

"...Wait a minute..." Mario stepped forward. "...That sphere...I can't...seem to forget this one..."

"I remember I saw it...somewhere before..." Samus said.

"...Ugh..." Fox put a hand on his forehead. "Something else is trying to...make me remember...an event I forgot..."

"..." Chris was left speechless and looked down worried.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Bowser yelled a last time before the rocks that he was on with his son began to sink down the magma and eventually sunk them down.

"...Oh no..." Rosalina shook her head. "...It's happening..."

"About the sphere or Bowser?" Geno asked.

"...The galaxy is going to..."

The space suddenly began to shake violently as they saw the big sun trembling before it began to turn into a huge powerful black hole that started to suck everything in sight with a strong force. The platforms floating around were being sucked in as the observatory shook violently, making the Smashers drop to the floor.

"W-what's happening now?!" Falco asked.

"That black hole that just formed after Bowser sunk is pulling everything inside!" C. Falcon yelled.

"O-oh boy, I don't want to die!" Olimar panicked.

"PANIC MODE!" the Toad Brigade yelled and panicked as they ran around.

The Lumas (and even Polari) started panicking as well as they flew around the observatory before they were pulled towards the black hole, crying loudly along the way with the Toad Brigade as well.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Yoshi yelled as he held out his hand to the black hole. "DON'T TAKE THEM!"

Yoshi's tears began to stroll down as he jumped out from the observatory, which made everyone gasp and ran to him.

"YOSHI!" Mario yelled as he jumped to Yoshi and grabbed his feet. "DON'T DO I-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Mario started to feel the gravity pulling him away from the floor.

"M-MARIO!" Luigi grabbed Mario's feet. "UUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" then he was pulled as well.

"OH NO!" Chris grabbed Luigi's feet. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" but the same happened to him.

"G-GOT YOU!" C. Falcon grabbed Chris's feet. "DAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!"

This kept going on until all the Smashers (and Peach) tried to pull Yoshi back to the observatory, but they all slowly were being pulled to the black hole that sucked everything around it.

"WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!!!" Twink yelled as he hid inside Geno's cape.

"THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL!" Samus yelled.

"G-GRR!!!" Geno looked at the observatory and gasped. "ROSALINA!!!"

The Smashers turned their heads and gasped. "NO! SHE WAS SUCKED IN!" Fox yelled as he cursed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Yoshi yelled loudly.

They all turned to the black hole and started to yell as loud as they could, hanging on to each other's feet as long as they could before the Luma that Mario was using came out from his hat.

"W-what are you doing?! C-come back with me!" Mario yelled.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Chris yelled as the Smashers were all quickly separated and were spun around the black hole before entering. The Luma that Mario let go by accident chirped one last time before it made a trail of light inside the destruction of the observatory, the castle and everything else...

?

...Nothingness...

...There was nothing else after the destruction...

"..." Mario slowly opened his eyes...

...A baby was crying somewhere in the nothingness...

"...Hm?" Mario looked around and he found the Smashers floating close to him. "...E-everyone..."

All of them began to wake up, to the point where some shook their heads and looked around the space.

"...We're...dead?" Luigi asked.

"If this is heaven..." Yoshi looked around. "...Then I demand more floor..."

"Heheheheheheh... You're funny, Yoshi..."

"...That voice..." Yoshi blinked surprised as everyone looked up to find Rosalina...

...As a giantess?

"HOLY CR-" C. Falcon's mouth was blocked by Samus's hand.

"Rosalina!" Yoshi made a happy expression. "You're fine...and big..."

"...Question." Falco began as he kept looking at Rosalina.

"Yes?" Chris asked.

"How."

"Uh-huh?"

"Did."

"What else?"

"She."

"I'm listening."

"Become."

"Yes?"

"This."

"Hmm?"

"Big."

"Luigi paradox syndrome." Chris responded.

Falco nodded, failing to get the answer.

"M-my goodness..." Peach and Olimar said in unison.

"Rosalina..." Mario began. "...What happened to the Lumas?"

"Are those cries..." Yoshi looked around the space. "...Them?"

Rosalina chuckled. "Do you hear the baby stars?... These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday."

"...Yes..." Yoshi nodded. "...The storybook said that..."

"...Thank god..." Peach muttered.

Rosalina went on. "When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos," she closed her eyes. "Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues..."

"Cycle...of life?" Peach asked.

"Hmm..." Chris thought for a moment. "...Does it repeat the same cycle?"

Rosalina shook her head and opened her eyes. "The cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way. So you'll see..."

There was a blinding light that began to grow in size, but Yoshi went forward.

"R-Rosalina!" Yoshi yelled.

"Yes?" Rosalina asked.

"W-where are you going?!"

"To the stars," Rosalina responded. "It's time for me to go away."

Super Mario Galaxy - Sad Story

"...B-but..." Yoshi sniffed. "...I don't want you to go away..." Yoshi covered his eyes and sobbed silently as the Smashers went to him and looked up to Rosalina.

"...Sorry, Yoshi..." Rosalina went on. "But I must return to the observatory to travel the space and protect the cosmos, because you all helped me to recover the Power Stars... I couldn't be happier than this...but you..."

Yoshi looked up with some tears.

"...You were so kind in taking care of the Lumas while I was gone... I also accomplished my mission..."

"Mission?" Yoshi repeated.

"Yes," Rosalina chuckled. "I gave you the answer you were seeking: interest."

"But I..." Yoshi looked down. "I don't have an interest to help everyone..."

"Don't think you didn't find it, because you did the moment you listened to the first chapter of the storybook..."

"..." Yoshi's eyes widened.

"The first time you listened to the chapter, what did you ask me?"

Flashback

"Well...I have one question..." Yoshi wondered. "Who was that little girl in the story? Her name wasn't told in this chapter..."

"..." Rosalina closed her eyes. "I'll let you guess it by yourself."

End of flashback

"...I did..." Yoshi said blushing.

"A simple question made you interested in something," Rosalina smiled a little. "The storybook itself was your interest."

"...But how is that going to help me to fight?" Yoshi asked as everyone looked at him.

Rosalina closed her eyes. "You fought, in fact..."

Flashback

"Huh? But why?" Yoshi asked puzzled.

"I only tell this story to the Lumas here once I see the Power Stars gathered," Rosalina opened her eyes. "It gives my inspiration to narrate the way I do. The Lumas understand very well when is the story exciting, sad, or suspenseful."

Yoshi blinked for a moment. "So if I gather Power Stars, you'll let me listen to the next chapter?"

Rosalina nodded. "Yes, for that, I need you to get 5 more Power Stars in order to see the next chapter."

"...5 Power Stars..." Yoshi nodded. "Okay, I'll look for the stars if you promise me that."

Rosalina nodded and chuckled. "Always for you, Yoshi..."

End of flashback

"I was able to discover that interest you were seeking," Rosalina opened her eyes. "The interest to see what lies at the end of the battles. In my case, it was the ending of the storybook that was your interest. Now, think about the interest you're seeking for the normal fights."

"...The interest to see what lies at the end of the battles..." Yoshi repeated before he played with his fingers. "...You guys...I'm sorry for not fighting seriously the other times... I wasn't inspired or interested before...but..." Yoshi looked at Rosalina, who nodded at him before Yoshi looked back at them. "I'm ready to give it my all and see what is waiting for us after all this..."

"...So, that was it?" C. Falcon asked.

"Huh?"

"We're seeking the same thing, as you just thought about," Fox explained. "We don't fight because we want to, we fight because we want to see true peace."

"True peace..."

"True peace that I fight for as well," Chris nodded. "I want to see what happen...after this."

"I fight Bowser just to rescue Peach," Mario looked at Peach, who smiled back at him. "However, I want to stop anything evil from destroying anything."

"I-I'm here because of that too... I like to think that I'm some sort of hero sometimes..." Olimar said.

"In truth, Yoshi," Geno nodded. "You found the same interest as all of us."

"Fight for a better future." Twink said.

"We're not angry at you," Samus said. "We respect your decision, whether or not you want to fight."

"..." Yoshi smiled and closed his eyes. "...Thank you so much..."

"...It's time to leave now..." Rosalina said before the light shone brightly.

"...NO!" Yoshi yelled. "DON'T LEAVE!"

It was too late...

Music stops

Toad Town

"...U-ugh..." Yoshi found himself laying on the ground before sitting up. "...Rosalina!" Yoshi yelled as he looked around. "Rosalina! Where are you?! A-answer me!"

"...Quiet down..." Luigi muttered as he woke up, close to Yoshi. "...Huh?" Luigi sat up. "W-where are we?"

"...Huh?" Peach opened her eyes and looked around once she sat up. "...We're back in Toad Town?"

"...Look!" Luigi pointed to a hill with a tree.

"What?" Peach asked confused. "It's just a tree..."

"...I-it can't be!" Yoshi said as he ran to the tree.

The others groaned slowly as they woke up and sat up, shaking their heads and looking around the scenery.

They were now back in Toad Town. The castle was even there without a single trace of destruction. The houses were intact and butterflies were flying around the patches of flowers while the birds were singing.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Peach asked.

Chris seemed to shrug at this.

"...Yoshi?" Mario asked as he saw Yoshi, close to a tree that he examined closely. "Yoshi, what are you doing?"

"...This is it..." Yoshi trailed off. "...This is...the tree...that Rosalina used to visit..."

Chris got up and walked next to Yoshi. "So...this tree is the same one Rosalina told you in the storybook?... Huh?" Chris found something on the tree's bark. "...Oh..."

"..." Yoshi smiled a bit and wiped a tear. "...She...did this..."

On the tree's bark, there was a drawing with a little girl with long hair that was playing with several Lumas around the little hill with the tree that was also on the bark. A small smile was on the girl's face while the Lumas had happy expressions as they twirled about.

"..." Yoshi sniffed.

The World Traveler glanced to Yoshi, closed his eyes for a moment and patted his back slowly before opening them back. "...You found your interest at last, right?"

Yoshi nodded and looked at Chris with a small smile. "...Yes...and I'm happy for it... I'm so happy..."

"But and Rosalina?"

Yoshi blinked several times before looking up to the sky. "...I have a feeling that...she is going to return very soon... I don't know when, but it'll be soon and we'll have fun together..."

Chris wondered what could bring Rosalina back, until he remembered something.

"I-ah..."

"Huh?" Chris and Yoshi turned their backs to find Bowser and Bowser Jr. being cornered by the Smashers, who were ready to fight them all at once.

"Look," Samus began. "Or you surrender or we kick your shells out of you."

Bowser shook his head. "N-never!"

"Yeah!" Bowser Jr. said. "Never!"

"Get them." Samus said simply.

"JUNIOR!" Bowser yelled.

Jr. saluted and he jumped high, where a Magikoopa came flying from the sky and picked him as Bowser chuckled while a dark portal appeared.

"Heheheheheheh..." Bowser chuckled as they watched shocked to the portal. "If my plan to dominate the galaxies wasn't enough, then I'll resort to rule the worlds along with Tabuu!"

"Tabuu'll rule the worlds and we'll be just leaders." Dedede said as he stuck out his head from the portal.

Bowser grumbled. "Fine! Jr.! I leave the use of my castle to you, so plan a good strategy to take Mario out!"

"You got it, Papa! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!" Bowser Jr. laughed as the Magikoopa flew off and away.

"Catch that bastard!" Yoshi yelled as they all ran to Bowser, who quickly ran inside the Subspace and vanished before they could reach him.

"No..." Mario trailed off.

"...It's okay..." Peach said as she put her hands on Mario's shoulders. "Everything is back to normal and I couldn't be this happy, thanks to all of you," Peach looked up. "And a new galaxy was created, but is still the same."

"But there are some changes around." Geno added.

"Yep," Twink smiled. "Small changes no one can see."

Peach smiled. "Thank you, everyone."

"..." Chris smiled. "Somehow, Peach can make someone smile with that sweet voice of hers..."

Peach giggled. "Oh, thank you. I-I'm a little bit flattered."

Chris blushed. "Y-you're welcome..."

"Pss, Mario, you should be careful because Chris is planning his moves now." C. Falcon whispered with a chuckle.

"H-hey!" Mario blushed. I-it's not like that at all!"

The Smashers laughed for a bit before they stopped.

"...Hey, look!" Chris looked above. "...The sphere that the bomb left...is gone!"

Everyone looked above and they didn't find the sphere.

"...The galaxies were reborn, and thus the black hole eliminated the sphere as well..." Mario explained.

"...Phew..." Yoshi sighed. "It's good we came out victorious..."

"Thank goodness..." Peach said.

Then Luigi helped the other Luigi to get up, making Twink gasp.

"O-oh no!" Twink said. Y-you 2 touched each other!"

"H-hold on," Peach interrupted. "Why are there 2 Luigis?"

"That's something we don't want to bother finding out," Geno said before the other Luigi, as incredible as it sounds, started to glow. "...What the?"

"You have witnessed the reality of your minds," the other Luigi said as he glowed intensely while his voice echoed. "I am just an image of your imagination that was created purely to help you all out. Your minds combined have given birth to me, and I cannot express my thanks more than I am doing right now."

"...The f(beep) is happening now?" Fox asked.

Twink was cursing (not at the bad level) as he saw the other Luigi.

"You, my other me, have been very nice to talk with me. I cannot be more thankful than I already am, especially to you, since your strength is far greater to understand than anybody here can grasp well."

"..." Luigi sniffed and shed a tear.

The glowing Luigi turned at the Smashers. "Now, it is time for me to leave and wander the universe at my own free will. We shall meet again in the next 2,483,580,203,274,189 years light...or just in 1 year to be honest and precise."

"..." every Smasher's jaw dropped, even Peach did.

The other Luigi began to rise up to the air before he looked and said, "Farewell, and godspeed to you all!!!" and in a blink, the other Luigi vanished with an intense light before disappearing for good and from their lifes.

"..." Geno looked at Twink. "...You knew this was going to happen?"

"...Noooooooo..." Twink stuck out his tongue. "I thought something less surprising was going to happen. I guess I was wrong."

"...Dude..." C. Falcon began. "...We're..."

Tales of Symphonia 2 : Off-Key

"..." Falco walked to a nearby wall and he began to hit his head. "UGH! DAMMIT! UGH! WHY IS, UGH! THIS WORLD, UGH! SO STUPIDLY, UGH! NOT MAKING, UGH! ANY KIND OF, UGH! FREAKING SENSE!? UGH!"

Chris grabbed Falco's shoulders and stopped him. "S-stop it! W-we just need to forget that we saw that weird Luigi who was obviously out of this world!"

"I want to return to the mansion AS SOON AS POSSIBLE right now..." Samus said shuddering.

"...He's amazing..." Luigi muttered as he took a napkin and blew his nose with it.

"...What just...happened?" Peach asked, utterly confused.

"...Peach..." Mario trailed off. "...Sometimes, it's better to think that we have only 1 Luigi...ONE...Luigi...as my brother..."

"...But what abou-"

"ONE...Luigi...Peach..." Mario repeated.

"...Bu-"

"ONE...Luigi..." Geno repeated.

"...Hit me," Olimar said to Yoshi. "Hit me. I want to forget this."

"..." Yoshi slammed his head on Olimar's helmet, but Yoshi ended up on the floor, knocked out.

"...Oh, frogs inside boxes..."

"...Oww..." Chris put his hands on his head.

"What is it?" Twink asked.

"I've been trying to find a good explanation for all these inexplicable happenings...and I got a headache for thinking too much..." Chris moaned a little. "...I want to rest..."

"...G-good bye...me..." Luigi sobbed happily. "...You were...amazing!!!"

"Oh!" Peach remembered something. "Since all of you fought so hard to save the galaxies...why don't you stay for a while and celebrate the Star Festival?"

"I'm willing to eat mushrooms just to forget all of this..." Mario said. "Who's in?"

The Smashers looked at each other.

Several hours later...

Grand Finale Galaxy
The Star Festival

Super Mario Galaxy - Star Festival

The celebration that once was interrupted continued. The Toads around the town were very happy that Peach got rescued (again) from Bowser's clutches, thanks to Mario, and from the help of the Smashers themselves. Even many residents across the galaxy arrived just to celebrate the salvation of the galaxy.

"Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmmmmmmm..." Yoshi was humming happily as he picked up some familiar coins on a road to the castle...

Meanwhile, as for the Smashers, they were...not enjoying the event as most of them put their chins above their hands on a table that was located on a terrace of the castle or some even layed down their heads on it.

A Star Bit fell on top of Geno's head. "...Anyone is tired as of now?"

"Uh-huh..." everyone else replied.

Olimar looked at Yoshi from the town as he spoke to everyone in his way to the castle. "...Why is Yoshi looking so energetic?"

"Because those Purple Coins from HELL followed us," C. Falcon explained as he hit his face on the table. "It's out punishment for being here..."

"And Yoshi is now very excited to see "what lies at the end of the battles" as Rosalina said before..." Chris closed his eyes. "I don't find that interest so..."

"Interesting?" Mario asked bored.

"...Yes..."

A Star Bit hit Samus's head. "..." Samus glanced to the town slowly as many Star Bits rained down the galaxy. "...When are those shards stop from coming down?"

"Until tomorrow..." Mario responded.

"Hmmmmmm..." they all groaned in boredom.

Luigi, who was not bored, sighed as he looked at the stars, away from the others. "...Me...I hope you're doing well..."

"I dare you to STOP reminding us about that...thing..." Fox said.

"H-he was me! An awesome me and you all know it! He saved our lifes, after all!"

"I want to think that our minds saved us and just that..." Falco said. "What HAPPENS in this wacky universe STAYS in this wacky universe..."

"Let's see something else that won't remind us the horrible hell we went through..." C. Falcon said as he turned his head to the door that opened as Yoshi walked inside. "...OH, HECK NO!"

"Look, you guys!" Yoshi called out as he held up something. "I've got a Power Star!"

Power Star! Power Star! Power Star! Power Star! Power Star! Power Star!

There were not 120 Power Stars...

...There were 121 Power Stars instead!

The Smashers' minds echoed with those 2 words before they all looked shocked at the 121th Power Star and groaned out loud. "T-those stars want to piss us off! Ugh! Toss it away! Toss it away!" C. Falcon motioned at the lake.

"Climb the tallest mountain! Defeat this guy with weak health! Kill this guy off too! Run like hell! Collect 100 (beep!) Coins around the WHOLE galaxy! I can go all the day!" Falco complained.

"Huh?" Yoshi tilted his head. "But I thought it could be a good souvenir to remember Rosalina..."

"NO," Falco walked to Yoshi, snatched the star off his hands and tossed it inside the lake before grinning in triumph, as he dusted off his hands. "Aw, that feels so much bet-"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Yoshi pushed Falco out of the way and dove inside the lake. Falco didn't care about that action as he fell down defeated.

"..." Chris shed a tear. "...His interest is too much for me to tolerate..."

"A-absolutely rubbish, princess!"

Everyone turned their tired heads to the door of the balcony, where Peach was carrying 2 suitcases as Toadsworth begged her to stay in the castle. "Hello, everyone!" Peach said cheerfully. "I'm ready to join all of you in this new experience!"

"NO!" Toadsworth shook his head. "You just came back, and now you want to fight in that tournament of barbarians? P-pure blasphemy, princess! I can't allow you to go with THEM," Toadsworth pointed at the Smashers who blinked bored. "Look at him!" he pointed at Olimar. "His face clearly says that he is a bandit!"

"Dear...Diary..." Olimar muttered as he took out his diary. "I was...mistook...for a bandit...zzzzzzz..." Olimar fell asleep.

"Master Mario is just perfect to go!"

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." Mario snored on the table.

"But you?!"

Peach giggled. "Don't worry about me. I leave the kingdom in your hands while I'm away."

"N-no!" Toadsworth said. "J-just because my leadership to give orders is high, it doesn't mean that you have to go!"

"Nevertheless, I made up my mind," Peach walked to the Smashers who stared at her with bored looks. "Everyone, I'm ready to help all of you in the new adventure!"

Ba-ba-ba-ba! Ba-baaaaaaah!

NEWCOMER!

Peach joined your team!

"No!" Toadsworth said.

Peach left your team

"I'm going." Peach said.

Peach joined back your team!

"No!"

Peach left your team

"I'm going."

Peach joined your team!

"Absolutely no!"

Peach left your team

"But I'm going. You have to understand!"

Peach joined your team!

"NO!"

You know how this rolls know...

Peach and Toadworth kept contradicting each other as Chris looked at them with a bored look. "...You know, I want to return and lay down on my bed..."

"That's a very good idea..." Mario said. "...I'm joining now for real..."

NEWCOMER!

Mario (finally) joined your team!

"Hurrayyyyyyy..." the Smashers said bored.

"...Don't get offended, but I'm not in the mood to say, "Yes! Mario finally joined us!" for now..." Chris said bored.

"...I understand..." Mario said yawning.

"..." Chris's eyes widened once he looked another way.

"..." Fox looked up to Chris without turning his face at him. "...What..."

"..." Chris didn't speak.

Fox turned his head at the same direction. "What is it... It's not like there's something horribl-OOOOOOOH GOD!!!"

The Smashers turned their heads at the same direction and most of them gasped in panic...

Because...

There was a hellish Star Bunny moving its hands a little on the terrace!

"NO!" C. Falcon stood up as everyone else did the same. "T-those rabbits are here to "play" with us again!"

"Boing!" the Star Bunny said as it slowly jumped to them.

"KIDS AND WOMEN FIRST!!!" Olimar yelled as he screamed, ran to the edge of the terrace and dove inside the water.

"T-those rabbits are NOT going to piss me off again!" Samus said.

"Wait, what?" Geno asked.

"In reality, those rabbits were ticking me off as I tried to catch them. They even tossed snowballs at me so..." Samus looked away embarrassed. "...I hope you don't mind 3 dead bodies..."

"..." they all looked at each other before focusing on the bunny.

"...RUUUUUUUUUN!" Chris yelled as everyone quickly dove inside the water.

"Wait!" Peach yelled as she jumped to the water with her parasol. "I'm coming!"

"PRINCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!!!" Toadsworth yelled as a light shone on the water, and nobody else came out after that (even Yoshi). "...No-ooooo..." Toadsworth sobbed as the Star Bunny looked at him and rubbed his head with its ears.

(HELLISH) WORLD COMPLETED!

You have gained 2500 Smash Coins!

Gateway Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy - Gateway Galaxy

High above the Mushroom Kingdom, there was a lonely figure with several Lumas, looking at the kingdom from the castle as she sighed. "...Yoshi..." she trailed off. "...We will meet again...in a long time... Thank you so much for your help..."

"Mama, is Papa going to visit us?" a yellow Luma asked.

"..." Rosalina chuckled at the word. "...Yes..."

"Hurray! Yay!"

Rosalina closed her eyes. "We'll just wait a long time after that, though..."

"Roooosaaaliiinaaa!" Polari called out as 2 Lumas were carrying a tight suit that appeared to be very good for races on motorcycles...and for Rosalina. "The Lumas already finished with the clothes for the race in the Mushroom Kingdom in 2 years!"

"..." Rosalina blushed and looked away, even sweatdropping. "...I...o-okay... I understand..."

"Good!" Polari said. "We'll visit them sooner than expected! Lumas, take it away and keep it clean!" Polari told the Lumas who nodded and flew away.

Rosalina blushed a little, but then, she chuckled as she walked back to her house. "...Good luck... I'll be watching you from beyond the stars..." Rosalina said with a wink to no one on particular as she entered the house and closed the door with the Lumas.

After a while, Rosalina stepped on the observatory and she raised a force field that covered it as it began to move slowly towards the space before it began to fly away as a shiny comet. Rosalina's chuckled were echoing before they stopped with a blink of the traveling observatory...

...Close to where the house was, there was a wrecked Starshroom inside a cracked old place with green bricks. Inside of it, there was the Luma that Mario used to use the Star Spin. It blinked slowly and waved happily before the screen panned out with a happy giggle.

Music stops

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"Kid," Snake began as he looked down at Chris. "It's time."

"T-time for what?" Chris asked.

"Time to reveal everything," Snake crossed his arms. "Your world, and of course...the Subspace."

"H-huh?!" Chris sweated. "W-what are you talking about?!"

"Don't act stupid anymore," Snake continued. "Everyone here knows what happened."

"...What?" Chris looked at Link. "I-is that true?!"

Link only nodded. "Snake told us everything. Master Hand was even cornered and he didn't have another choice but to speak up."

"Sorry," Master Hand said. "Snake caught me off-guard."

The Smashers looked at Chris with stares. The World Traveler looked at all of them but he took a step back. "I-is it really the time? I-I mean, shouldn't we focus on the Subspace Ar-"

"Okay, that's IT!" Fox said, glaring at Chris. "It's enough, Chris! I've had enough of your evading nonsense of the main point! You're going to explain everything and EVERYTHING right now or else I'll make you spit everything out!"

"B-but explain about what?!"

"The Subspace," Marth began. "Your world, and how you know a lot about us."

"B-but I thought Master Hand told all of you that the real world existed!"

"He said that," Samus began. "And that only. Not much more information came after that since he didn't know...but you..."

"You know everything about us for some reason, and we want all the answers." Snake said.

The World Traveler looked down...

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Dearly Beloved

Chris looked at all the Smashers...

Ness, Lucas, Popo, Nana, Diddy, Pikachu, Kirby, Pichu, Red, Squirtle, Toon Link, Twink and Jigglypuff had concerned looks as each one blinked worried...

Link, Marth, Roy, Luigi, Pit, Sonic, Mallow, Ike, Geno, Ivysaur, Olimar, Yoshi, Master Hand and Crazy Hand were just staring at Chris...

Snake, Fox, Falco, Wolf, C. Falcon, DK, Mewtwo, Meta Knight and Samus were narrowing their eyes at Chris...

Mario and Peach...were confused at the situation and couldn't find anything else to say...

"..." Chris closed his eyes and looked down.

Lucario walked next to Chris and put his left hand on Chris's right shoulder. "...It's time, Chris... I'll stay close to you just in case..."

"...I know..." Chris muttered looking up with an ashamed face, before looking at Snake and the Smashers. "...Everyone..."

"..." everyone kept staring at him.

Outside

The blizzard raged on outside as their voices were able to be heard. "...It's time I tell you all about...the real world...the Subspace...and all of you..."

"...Tsk..." Snake said. "Finally..."

The blizzard grew stronger before the screen got white and more white until it was completely gone...

...

"Where Everything Began..." Chris closed his eyes in shame.

Do you want to save your data after the events of today?

Yes

"Hold on, why are there 2 Luigi's?"

Sorry, but that cracked me up.  I think it was the whole irony of things.

[makuta]

The big reveal...

And leave it to a black hole, which bends time and space around it, to destroy a hole in time and space.

By the way, that "big lava planet with holes in it" is supposed to be a star. I think so anyway.

ANYWAY, good job.

[DededeCloneChris]

Chapter 118: Where Everything Began

Smash Mansion
Zelda's Room

"A-achoo!"

"Here."

"T-thanks..."

The blizzard that raged outside the mansion somehow got stronger. Zelda and Estelle were talking between each other for a time ever since they both met. Zelda and Estelle were sitting on the bed.

"M-my goodness..." Estelle looked outside. "T-this weather is getting so harsh, isn't it?"

"Yes," Zelda said as she looked outside. "This blizzard is quite suspicious though..."

"I also thought the same thing," Estelle nodded. "Knowing that Repede is suffering from the cold with the others is just..."

"...You're not planning to leave outside, right? It's dangerous to go."

"...Well..." Estelle wondered for a moment. "...I don't want to end up getting a cold... Fine, I'll stay here."

"(But still,)" Zelda thought as she looked outside. "(Something is bothering me...)"

Command Room

"..." Chris kept looking down. "...This is going to be so hard to understand and believe for you..."

"It doesn't matter," Snake said. "What matters is everything you're willing to say and share."

"...Ugh..." Chris closed his eyes. "I wanted to evade this before...but I guess I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't tell you..."

"Just start explaining yourself and we won't hurt you." Ike said.

"...Wait, what?!"

"Ike! We're not going to do that sort of thing!" Roy said shocked.

"S-sorry! I-I got a little carried away by the atmosphere here!"

"...Should we really listen too?" Mallow asked concerned.

"It's something we should know, I guess..." Geno whispered.

"But I'm not too sure about this..." Chris said. "How did you all get interested about all that?"

"Simple," Mewtwo began. "When you 2 came, you slowly met every single one of us."

"And even some of us asked where'd you come from, but you said something that seemed to be weird." Pikachu explained.

"Remember the first time we met?" Samus asked. "I asked you 2..."

Flashback. Back in chapter 7...

"...I'm a kid-" Chris's forehead made a vein after he got tired from hearing the word "kid" to address himself. "-that can use many different abilities to fight and Lucario has the power of the aura to deal damage too. We're currently trying to fight a much, bigger menace than the Space Pirates."

"Hard to believe."

"Huh?"

"Hard to believe someone saying such things," Samus said. "How can I know you're not lying?"

End of flashback

"You then said because the commander requested you to come, but something was odd," Samus wondered. "Why'd the commander let you accompany me? I know children aren't allowed to come to any Space Federation ship."

"I was about to ask where'd you come from too..." Toon Link said. "I was about to ask that, but Tetra came in and she made me forget the question. When Snake reminded me, then I thought about asking you again."

"I..." Pichu looked down. "...I just cared about meeting you, but that question came to my mind too..."

"Same here." Roy said.

"Don't forget me," Fox began. "I was about to ask the same things, but I got interrupted before I could go on the first time we met."

"And when Lucario knew about Team Rocket, I wondered why did he know that..." Pikachu said.

"D-don't look at me..." Olimar said. "I just remembered the momemnt we met too, and I didn't ask that many important questions either..."

"You said you knew a lot about me..." Lucas looked down. "But how? I-I wasn't even famous in the island so..."

"..." Sonic closed his eyes. "Y'know, you knew some things about me as well. First, I thought you were a fan, but later it kept...getting weird..."

"I guess I could say the same..." Mario said.

"Too distracted to ask that," Link said. "When you guys came with the others, I thought you were normal people...but when I came here with Zelda, things got really suspicious about you and Lucario..."

"I..." Kirby looked down. "...I just wanted to know you a little, b-but that's all..."

"Now that I remember..." Ness wondered. "I asked you about visiting new different worlds, and you said that you had many games to go. I was excited that day that I didn't think what you meant by that..."

"I-I-I-I-I-I still remember t-t-t-t-t-the day at the s-s-s-s-spa..." Falco (now pale from the cold) said. "I-I-I-I-I-I-I forgot to a-a-a-a-ask you the same thing..."

"Enough," Snake interrupted. "Kid, you've been suspicious this entire time about the worlds and all that crap. You also said things that didn't have anything to do with a certain topic, and when someone asked you what did it mean, you evaded that a lot of times by saying that you didn't know," he crossed his arms. "Irony, you knew about something, then you forgot it."

"...Ugh..." Chris grabbed his left arm. "...You're right... So..." Chris looked at the Smashers. "...What do you want me to explain first?"

"How do you know all of us," Link said. "It's been troubling me."

"...And the hardest one..." Chris muttered to Lucario, who nodded. "...Okay...where do I start explaining..."

"Chris," Master Hand pointed to a drawer on the front desk. "Look inside the drawer where the boxes are."

"Boxes?" Chris asked before remembering. "...Oh, right..."

The World Traveler walked to the drawer and opened it. Inside, there was his entire collection of videogames on top of each other. He took another glance at the Smashers before taking out one. "Okay, you see this?"

"...That's..." Peach trailed off. "...Mario with FLUDD, isn't he?"

"Yes..." Chris nodded. "This is not a normal box, it's a box containing this..." the World Traveler opened the box and he took out a small disc. "What I'm holding right now is a videogame."

"A videogame?" Mario asked. "But why a videogame with me?"

"Because..." Chris looked down. "...All of you...every single one...are not real in my world...because..."

"Stop trailing off," Snake demanded. "It's annoying."

"...Because all of you, and all the other people we've met so far...are just...videogame characters..."

A silence fell in as everyone kept blinking confused.

"..." Chris sighed. "...Now you know..."

"Videogame..." Roy trailed off.

"...Characters?" Jigglypuff finished.

"...That has to be the most stupid lie I've ever heard about you." Meta Knight said.

"W-what?" Chris asked. "B-but it's true! Everyone in this room except for me is a videogame character!"

"Kid," Snake glared at Chris. "So far, you're not making any sense at all with the whole lie you said. Videogame characters my (beep!)"

"He is telling the truth," Lucario said with a glare. "I accept that I'm a videogame character as well, but it's hard for you to understand it."

"You're saying that because you like him so much." Ivysaur said.

Lucario shook his head. "No. I saw it by myself when I got to his home and lived there after."

"That's enough," Mewtwo interrupted. "I can't find a good proof about being something like a character for a videogame."

"Then why don't you read my mind?" Chris asked.

"Because you have to say it yourself in order to trust you."

"And as of now," Fox clenched his right fist. "You're just making everything worse."

"We're videogame characters? What kind of truth is that? It's just...so stupid!" Nana said irritated.

"...What is wrong with all of you?!" Chris asked angrily. "I'm telling you all the truth I know, but yet, you keep saying I'm lying when I'm not! What proof do you want to get out of me?!"

"Chris, calm down." Lucario said.

"...It's just..." Chris closed his eyes. "I can't believe they won't accept the proof..."

"But I have something in mind to make them understand. A place to be exact."

"...A place?" Chris asked confused.

"Our room."

"Here in the mansion?"

"No," Lucario closed his eyes. "Our room in the real world, where they will understand everything."

"The "real" world?" Yoshi asked.

"All of our worlds are real, but defining your world "real" is going too far." Snake said.

Kingdom Hearts 2 - The Afternoon Streets

"..." Chris sniffed silently. "...Fine! If you all want to understand all of this in this way, then, Master Hand!"

"Yes?" Master Hand asked.

"I want to return to my world and let them in!"

"...I'm not sure..." Master Hand thought for a moment. "If we go, time will continue its way. However, if we return here, time will stop for your world again. Please, take in mind that nobody can't go from your house and that you won't change jobs or have any powers."

"Do it," Chris said with a serious face. "I'm going to explain everything there."

"...Okay," Master Hand nodded as he snapped his fingers and made a portal appear to the real world. "The path to your room is beyond."

The World Traveler stared at the portal as he smiled a little. "...After so long..." Chris muttered. "...I'm going to return and see my world again..."

"Our world." Lucario corrected him.

Chris smiled a little and wiped a tear. "I just...became homesick..."

"Stop losing time and let's go." Snake said coldly.

"We get to see his world at last," Ness whispered. "What do you think we could find there?"

"Whatever seems exciting." Pikachu whispered.

"...Before you all come," Chris interrupted them. "...Lucario and I want to enter first and let you in 1 minute later, just to check if everything is right."

"...Fine," Snake said. "But make it quick. The faster, the better."

Chris nodded once before he turned to the portal with Lucario before both walked to it and appeared somewhere else...

Real World
Chris's Room

"...We're..." Chris looked around. "...Back at last..."

"Yes..." Lucario smiled a little. "I feel right at home again..."

Both of them appeared in Chris's room. The room had many posters of many videogame characters on the walls. Chris's game collection was there as well. The date of the calendar clearly said that it was still March 9, Saturday morning at 11:30 AM.

"This is where the whole adventure started, right?" Chris asked.

"...Yes..." Lucario nodded. "That decision you made before, I still remember it very well."

Chris rubbed Lucario's head as the Aura Pokémon growled happily. "And you kept your promise."

"Protect you." Lucario said before Chris stopped rubbing his head.

"...They're going to come through the portal..." Chris smiled a little and looked down. "I should be happy that my favorite characters are going to appear here...but right now is..."

"I know," Lucario nodded. "The moment isn't right."

"..." Chris looked at the bed. "...Let's sit over there."

Chris and Lucario sat down on the bed and looked at the portal.

The World Traveler looked at his clothes, and they were the same he wore the day he bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "..." Chris held his hand out and tried to make it glow, but it didn't. "Master Hand said the truth..."

"Chris..." Lucario trailed off.

"Yes?"

"What are you going to tell them?"

"Everything," Chris began. "From my story to the Subspace."

"Then you may as well explain everything here, now that you have the chance."

"...I guess that's the right thing to do now... But do you think they'll understand?"

"What I expect is that they will get the truth... That is what I hope, though..."

"..." Chris looked down concerned.

"They won't hurt you," Lucario said. "I'll protect you from any of them. I can take them all on by my own."

"..."

"...Chris..." Lucario muttered worried.

Both of them stared back at the portal where it began to take every single Smasher out. Chris smiled a little after his room kept getting 1 by 1 of them, but he looked down depressed afterward.

"...Sooooooo..." Diddy looked around and jumped to the bed. "This is your room?"

"N-nice room." Lucas said with a small smile but with a worried look in his eyes.

"T-thanks..." Chris said with a nod.

"...What?" Kirby looked at a poster of him and the other 3 Kirbys, coming from the Amazing Mirror. "I-is that me?"

"Wait," Link found a poster of him riding on Epona as Twilight creatures tried to attack him. "W-what is the meaning of this?"

"..." Luigi's jaw dropped once he found a poster of Luigi's Mansion with him screaming.

"The hell?" Snake found many videogames' cases on a desk.

"Hey, check this out!" Sonic said with a grin as he looked at a poster of Sonic Advance 2. "I'm right here with Tails, Knuckles and Cream!"

"Sonic, that isn't the main point." Twink said.

"But I've got to admit," Mallow rubbed his chin. "He looks good."

"...Mallow..." Geno frowned.

"..." Falco kept staring at a poster of Star Fox: Assault with Fox, himself, Krystal and Slippy.

"Huh?" Wolf found a strategy guide of the previous mentioned game and he looked through the pages. "...This is..."

"Wait, hold on!" Pikachu picked up a DVD with Ash and his Pokémon. "W-what is Ash doing in this DVD?"

"H-hey..." Yoshi was holding a box of Mario Kart: Double Dash. "...Isn't this..."

The Smashers kept looking around the room with many different things telling about all of them. Chris and Lucario kept looking to all of them.

"They're beginning to understand..." Chris muttered. "...Right?"

"It seems that way..." Lucario muttered.

"..." Samus found the biggest poster that had the starters of SSBB posing inside small squares designed for all of them. "...What the..."

"..." Chris stood up. "...Now, do you believe me? All of you are videogame characters in reality. I just...hope you can believe me for real because what you're looking at is the whole tru-"

Persona 4 - Border of Insanity

"No!" Fox yelled with a glare that made Chris back away in fear. "Y-you made up all of this when you had the time, didn't you?!"

"All of the boxes and pictures of all of us look so real..." Nana said. "...But this isn't true at all! This is just random trash with us on all of it!"

"Will you please STOP complaining?!" Lucario asked as he stood up. "Admit it! Everything here is telling you the whole truth you don't want to believe in!"

"B-but..." Peach looked to the Super Paper Mario's box. "S-something here is wrong..."

"NOTHING IS WRONG!" Lucario yelled angrily. "Chris is telling the truth, and you don't trust him!"

"That's it," Snake said as he glared at Lucario. "I've had enough of this bull(beep!) for a long time. If the kid is not willing to say the truth, then I'll use force to make him say it."

"If that's the only way, then let's do it." C. Falcon said.

"Everyone, please!" Master Hand yelled. "Calm down! We're not here to fight in his room!"

"Oh, you tell us!" Ness said. "You're on his side, aren't you?"

"I'm in nobody's side, except all of you!"

"Then make him say what we want to hear!" Wolf demanded with a glare. "There is no darn way about this whole crap about me that says I'm a videogame character!"

"I'm not somebody's toy!" Pikachu yelled.

"P-please, don't fight here, p-please..." Pichu whispered worried.

Chris looked down and he silently walked to his Wii while the others argued with Lucario.

"This is stupid!" Ness complained. "We're real and not videogame characters for this world!"

"Seriously," C. Falcon began. "Everything here is just made-up evidence."

"Made-up evidence that made me furious and irritated," Fox pointed at the SSBB poster. "And that one over there is the biggest one yet!"

"C-can we stop arguing with each other?" Luigi asked. "I-I don't like where this is going anymore..."

"I'll gladly tell you," Snake said. "We're going to use force to make the kid say the truth."

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Lucario grunted furiously.

"...Wait a minute..." Squirtle looked around. "...Where is he?"

"Chris?!" the Smashers called out as they looked around the room.

They all found Chris inserting a disc inside the Wii.

"Oh, now you're going to play a game and ignore us?" Falco asked irritated.

"...Everyone..." Chris muttered. "...Shut up..."

"What?" Red asked.

"Shut UP!" Chris yelled as he quickly choose the game. "I hope this is enough for you to understand!"

Many of the Smashers grunted in frustration and rage. Master Hand kept trying to calm them down but to no avail.

But then, peace seemed to come after the intro of SSBB played...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Main Theme

"...What the..." Pikachu trailed off as the starters from Brawl were shown on a cliff, looking at the sunset.

"...I'll just go ahead." Chris said as he pressed the A button and went directly to the main menu. Once he got further from the Group option and the Brawl option,the character select screen appeared.

That is where they all gasped.

"...No..." Pit said as he looked to his icon. "...This can't...be real..."

"...It is...real..." Chris said as he chose Pit and 3 random CPUs to start the game in the Hyrule Temple.

The CPUs were Link, Kirby and Fox, who appeared on the stage with their intros before the game started. Chris, using Pit, quickly rushed to the CPU Link to fight him s the other 2 fought against each other.

"..." Kirby blinked. "...We're..."

"Fighting while Chris is controlling us..." Link finished.

"..." Chris kept his focus on the game as it went on, until the time ended and Chris was announced as the winner before he was returned to the select screen. "...So? Now do YOU all believe me?"

"...I-I can't still believe any of this..." Samus said.

"Okay then!" Chris yelled angrily as he stood up and walked to the Wii to change discs once he turned it off. "I guess I'll have to go through every single game that all of you appear in! So sit down and just watch!"

The Smashers talked with each other in silence before they all sat down around the room.

The first time, Chris showed Mario, Peach, Luigi and Yoshi the game of "Super Mario Galaxy," which shocked them as the CPU Mario used a Star Spin on a Goomba.

"Waah!" the CPU Mario exclaimed while he did a Star Spin, shocking the 4.

After showing Link and Toon Link about "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess," the swordsmen made shocked looks.

"HEYAH!" the CPU Link yelled as he stabbed a Bokoblin, making Link take a step back.

And it kept going like this for each one of them.

"Oh...my..." Jigglypuff trailed off after watching a Pokémon battle in Pokémon Battle Revolution with Pikachu against a Piplup.

"Huh?" DK tilted his head after seeing Donkey Kong Country with him and Diddy in a side-scrolling level.

"Tallon...lV..." Samus trailed off as she saw herself landing on Tallon lV in Metroid Prime.

"The Sargasso Space Zone..." Fox said.

"My turf..." Wolf said as both watched the base of ruffians in Star Fox: Assault.

"T-that's..." Ike trailed off after seeing the kingdom of Crimea in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

"Look at that!" Popo pointed at himself climbing Icicle Mountain in Ice Climber. "That's me!"

"..." Nana looked away worried before her brother looked at her and then got a worried look.

"...Oh..."

"M-my...Pikmins..." Olimar trailed off after seeing himself with 100 Pikmins following him around the Landing Site.

"..." Meta Knight was left speechless once he and Kirby saw themselves competing in the Green Meadows of Kirby Air Ride.

"Sweet!" Sonic said with a grin as he saw himself racing a big truck of G.U.N in the City Escape level of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. "Check out my spe..." he noticed that everyone was glaring at him. "...Oh...I-I mean..."

"Mute City..." C. Falcon trailed off after seeing the Mute City track of F-Zero GX.

"B-but..." Ness trailed off when himself, Paula, Jeff and Poo were walking around Summers.

"T-the Underworld?" Pit asked when he saw himself shooting demons in Kid Icarus.

"...Shadow Moses..." Snake trailed off after seeing Shadow Moses Island in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

"...That's not all..." Chris said.

The World Traveler showed them the first installment of Super Smash Bros., then he showed them Super Smash Bros. Melee and after that, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

"All of us...are there...in all the tournaments..." Mario said.

"All of you, are in fact, videogame characters," Chris explained. "All of you were created by Nintendo, a very popular videogame company, except for Sonic and Snake, who are third-party characters from Sega and Konami respectively. This world, my world, is called Earth. We're in Los Angeles, California, in the United States of America."

Lucario pointed to a map of the continent. "That is the map of America. Right besides to it, there is the world map of the whole planet."

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl happens to be a very acclaimed game for many fans around the world. All of you are the main characters of the game, a simple knockout game with an easy formula to play and a story mode, the Subspace Emissary."

"In reality, we're videogame characters in this world...where we were created..." Lucario trailed off.

"Millions and millions of people know a lot about you because you're all famous here, and I happen to be one fan..."

A moment of silence soon appeared as everyone tried to do their best to comprehend the situation.

"...Videogame characters..." Roy trailed off.

"...We're simple...videogame characters..." Peach trailed off.

"Videogame characters...for the amusement for millions of people..." Mewtwo trailed off.

"..." the word "amusement" rang inside Chris's mind. "...Now you all know..."

"..." Samus stood up. "...I think...I understand all this..."

"...You do?"

"We're not real..." Squirtle got up. "We're just a bunch of fantasy characters of several videogames..."

"T-that's not true!" Chris yelled. "Sure, you're not real, but look! Aren't you breathing and visiting my own house right now, where the real world is?"

"Yeah, but..." Fox stood up. "To think our lifes were...ugh...how do I put it again..."

"Created just to amuse people..." Snake trailed off with a grunt.

"...Correct..."

"It's like every single person in this world is stalking us while we don't notice them at all..." Marth trailed off.

"I'm sorry, everyone," Master Hand said. "I knew there was this world in the beginning, but I didn't go that far to investigate a little."

"...And you played every game with us, right?" Pit asked.

"...Yes..." Chris nodded. "I know everything about all of you," he turned to Mario, "I know you took a vacation in Isle Delfino that was getting attacked by Bowser," he turned to Link, "I know you left your village to rescue Illia and the other children," he turned to Kirby, "I know you defeated Marx," he turned to Pikachu, "I know Ash, Misty, Brock, Todd, Tracey, Gary, May, Max and Dawn," he turned to Samus, "I know the Metroid Prime," he turned to Fox, "I know the adventure in Sauria with Tricky," he turned to Yoshi, "I know you rescued Mario and Luigi when they were babies," he turned to DK, "I know the many fights with King K. Rool..."

And his knowledge about all of them kept going until he finished.

"...That's all..." Chris looked down. "I'm...basically a big stalker..."

"..." the Smashers looked down in depression.

"...I know what you're thinking now..." Chris began. "...You're thinking about "He's lying again! We should beat him up and make him say the REAL truth because there's no way I'm a puppet for someone's fun time!", right?"

"...We understand now..." Marth nodded. "...But violence isn't necessary at all right now..."

"...I'm so scared for your next reactions..." Chris muttered.

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Missing You

The World Traveler backed away to a wall where he sat down and embraced his legs as he sobbed. "I'm...I'm so...but so scared..."

"Why?" Diddy asked.

"So scared...about what are you going to do next to me... I already said everything that your forced out of me through threats of violence... I'm not lying this time..." Chris started to sob even more. "...I'm not lying now! And I won't lie anything from now on! But...b-but...but all of you wanted so badly to hurt my feelings and myself just to get a stupid truth that you won't realize, right?! Wasn't that your way to get the truth?! Huh?!"

"L-look, w-we didn't want t-" Toon Link was interrupted.

"SHUT UP!" Chris yelled, making everyone blink in shock. "If that's the way you threat a friend, a friend that only wanted to know his favorite videogame characters become real, then I may as well forget everything and leave you all alone! You're just a bunch of brute people who only care about yourselves and not the others!"

Lucario walked to Chris and kneeled to put his right hand on Chris's left shoulder. "If you want to leave them, then do it if that is going to make you feel better. Only experiencing this made you feel much sadder than before yo-"

"..." Chris only looked down in depression as he cried silently.

"..." Lucario looked down in shame.

"...What the hell were we doing..." Ivysaur trailed off with a look of shame.

"We technically wanted to hurt someone in order to get a truth we don't want to believe in..." C. Falcon said ashamed.

"I-i-i-if I knew we were going to do this to someone innocent...t-t-t-then I shouldn't have done this..." Lucas said, covering his eyes as he sobbed. "W-w-w-what's wrong with me?!"

"Lucas, Lucas! Stop crying!" Ness yelled. "...I'm the one who acted like a bastard after all..." Ness covered his eyes. "T-this is just wrong..."

"P-P-P-Pikachu..." Pichu walked to Pikachu and looked down before he sobbed. "...Is this how we are?"

"...N-not at all..." Pikachu said before Pichu hugged him and cried.

"...W-why didn't I say anything to stop this?" Jigglypuff asked. "W-we were going too far..."

"...P-Popo..." Nana muttered with sobs. "...P-please...hug me..."

"..." Popo silently walked to Nana and hugged her sister as she cried on his shoulder. Popo closed his eyes and sobbed afterward with her.

"...Man..." Red looked down. "...Finding the truth in this way...is just too wrong...and it feels horrible once you realize it..."

"G-Geno..." Twink cried some tears before he hugged the puppet. "...This is real...how we are...right?"

"...I'm afraid so..." Geno responded as he patted Twink's back.

"..." Mallow sobbed several times, and almost at the point of crying, but his powers weren't being manifested in the real world like they used to in the other worlds. The cloud prince went over to the puppet who hugged him in shame.

"Dammit..." Roy muttered. "This isn't the way we act..."

"I know..." Marth looked outside. "...The feeling is horrible..."

"I'm trying to understand this...b-but..." Ike closed his eyes in shame. "...But I should be more aware of my actions on people more than anything else..."

"...O-oh, tears of eyes..." Olimar sniffed. "I-I didn't talk to express my concerns...and this happened..."

"..." Kirby sobbed silently before Meta Knight walked to him and patted his back a little.

"I have the same reaction as well, Kirby," Meta Knight said. "I can't express it, but believe me, I do."

"...Y-yes..." Kirby said with a nod.

Pit looked down a wiped something from his eyes. "I-I'm suppose to be an angel of peace...and I let this go like nothing bad happened..."

"M-Mario..." Peach hugged Mario slowly. "...T-this isn't me...a person who just sits behind and doesn't stop an event like this go and end sadly...right?"

"...No, Peach..." Mario said ashamed. "...We're not like that..."

"..." Luigi was ducking as he sobbed before his brother patted his back.

"..." Yoshi sobbed several times. "Why...why did I do this?"

"Should we do this again and hurt someone else?... Of course not..." Squirtle said ashamed.

"...Donkey..." Diddy looked down as he rubbed his right arm on his eyes.

DK hugged Diddy and both sobbed in unison.

"..." Sonic crossed his arms and frowned to himself. "...I'm a filthy bastard too..."

Fox walked to the poster of Star Fox: Assault and he glared at his picture. "...This is what I really am...but I don't accept the way I acted to get to what I wanted to know..."

"It's normal that you'll act like this to get a truth," Wolf said as he crossed his arms and frowned in shame. "I feel a bit ashamed myself, but that's all..."

"Damn..." Falco muttered with a frown of shame.

"...I acted like a filthy bastard, didn't I..." Samus asked.

"...We all did..." C. Falcon responded in shame.

Mewtwo was only able to close his eyes with a frown of shame. "...A shameful knowledge only gained through violence..."

"..." Snake looked down. "...Guess I went a little bit too far..."

"W-wait just a minute," Roy glared at Snake. "You! You made us act like this all along!"

"You convinced us to make Chris say the truth through threats? I can't believe you! How can you be so cruel?!" Nana asked with tears.

Every single Smasher glared at Snake, and the soldier just stared at them.

"Damn bastard..." Ness muttered. "You really like to mess up with a person's friendships a lot, don't you?!"

"Hey," Snake began. "It's not my fault that you ac-"

"Shut up, just shut up!" Pikachu yelled as he pointed at Chris, still crying silently while Lucario remained in his position. "He is like this because you convinced us to do this sort of thing!"

"A-a sort of thing we don't do!" Pichu added angrily.

"And don't act all innocent either," Marth said. "You were the one who said about using force to get the truth, right?"

"...I did..." Snake said looking down. "I did say that, but I didn't care that much about the kid..."

"H-how could you be saying that horrible thing?" Peach asked. "Chris is just as important to me as he is important to all of us!"

"But Peach..." Yoshi trailed off. "...You didn't spend much time with Chris..."

"...I know..." Peach looked down. "...But we did once...during the festival of sports..."

Flashback

"Where is Mallow going?" Peach asked appearing from the group.

"He...um...went to look around for a coin he lost in the way...hey, are you Peach?"

"Yes, I am, and you're Chris, right? Mario told me you and the others helped him in Rogueport before."

"Um..." Chris blushed a little. "Y-yes, it was very fun to help him out."

"I wanted to thank you for doing so," Peach smiled a little. "If it weren't for you, I would be captive in the moon forever!"

End of flashback

"After that, we became fast friends..." Peach sobbed one time. "What I cared about him is that he helped Mario to rescue me from Grodus... I care about the people who help Mario a lot because they have good hearts and spirits..." Peach closed her eyes. "...But hurt them to get a truth?... Why anybody here didn't ask nicely instead of acting like this? He isn't an enemy...but a dear friend...right?"

"...I guess we forgot that..." C. Falcon said ashamed, even more than before.

"And Chris didn't want to be anyone's enemy," Lucario said as he stood up and looked at them. "The first time we got to visit a world, he said..."

Flashback

"...Chris..." Lucario looked away.

"What?"

"Was this...alright?"

"What? Stop making me asking you."

Lucario closed his eyes. "Well... I was talking about your decision to do this adventure."

"Well, I wanted to have something different."

"But do you really think that this is the right decision?"

Chris looked away. "...I just don't know sometimes... I really wished to have an adventure with you, Lucario..."

Lucario blinked. "Ah...yes, you said that before."

"And to be honest," Chris chuckled. "I was thinking about meeting all the characters from Brawl with you. I could make interesting friends if I get to talk with any of them."

"Like?"

"Like many people," Chris closed his eyes.

End of flashback

"And that didn't end there." Lucario continued.

Flashback

"...Lucario, do you think we can save everyone from the danger?"

"As long as we have faith in each other and everyone, we will."

"But, what if we can't?"

"Chris, stop thinking about negative things. If you do that we won't go forward."

"...You're right, I won't think about the bad side. I'll be enthusiastic as I am."

"You got the point, I'm glad." Lucario smiled a little bit.

End of flashback

"An enthusiasm you all destroyed intentionally," Lucario said looking down. "Chris's only main purpose to do this adventure was just to know and be friends with all of you. He used to tell me that if he was able to meet me, then there was a chance to meet you all as well."

"..." Lucas looked down.

"But after he saw all this..." Lucario looked at Chris sobbing. "...I think he got scared of everyone...or he did... He had a very strong belief for the fantasy to become real, and look at yourselves standing right in his room," Lucario pointed at them. "You already stepped here, in the real world. His fantasies became real as well as yourselves, videogame characters...like I did first..."

"...This is just wrong, guys..." Toon Link said. "I, for one, don't care about being a darn videogame character. I'm already living, right? Living outside a videogame and Chris is being the witness, right?"

"If we hurt people, then we're videogame characters with set personalities..." Marth began. "...But if we apologize, then we could have a chance to be pardoned..."

"A-and we could still be friends..." Pichu looked at Chris. "...With Chris as we like to do..."

"..." Roy chuckled. "...Now I remembered that he wanted to help me with my father and mother...but I kept telling him no... Man, was I being a bad person..."

"...I have to say..." Ness played with his fingers a little bit. "...I enjoyed the time we spent because he was funny... I didn't care about anything else..."

"I felt right at home when he wanted to help me, too." Pikachu smiled a little as he wiped some tears. "...Why hurt someone who is really nice with you?"

"Exactly..." Pit said nodding as he wiped his tears. "Happiness is the biggest thing that can describe Chris..."

"It's his trait, alright," Mallow said as he did the same action. "Remember when he was excited to meet me?"

"If I remember..." Geno wondered for a bit. "He was excited as well with me..."

"...Then...we're all clear that we accept this reality?" Sonic asked.

"Not until Snake feels remorse." Samus said as they looked at Snake.

"...What's that?" Olimar asked as he spotted something on Snake's face. "Is that a tear I see?"

"Stop saying stupid things," Snake said as he wiped it out. "I don't have feelings for the kid."

"You may as well lie all you want," Wolf grinned. "I'd say the same, but I'm honest about enjoying the time with the kid...just a little, of course."

"Besides," C. Falcon went on. "He said all the truth, so why don't you?"

"...Tsk..." Snake looked away. "...You people sometimes irritate me so much at the point to strangle you all..."

"Then you do." Mario said.

"..." Snake nodded very slightly.

"So, does everyone here accept the fact about being videogame characters?" Ivysaur asked.

"...Heh," Falco chuckled. "I'd say to hell with it. I'm proud to say I'm a videogame character that is walking in the real world."

"Actually, we're not videogame characters any longer," Mewtwo began. "Technically, we're real to someone who once believed we were part of a videogame."

"Yet we're here," Geno said. "The real world, where many people know about us."

"We're not part of a videogame anymore," Fox smiled a little. "We're part of the real thing."

"...Shouldn't we apologize now that we accepted it and feeling utter humiliation and shame with the remorse?" Nana asked.

"Yes," Master Hand nodded. "You all should."

"...Wait, why didn't you feel remorse?" Link asked.

"Well, because my dear long-eared friend, I accepted that fact the moment I came here first with Craz-" Master Hand looked around. "...CRAZY?!"

"Yep?" Crazy Hand asked from under the bed sheet.

"...Nevermind..."

All of them looked at the sad World Traveler.

"...Apology time..." Sonic said.

"I want to enjoy this with him so much now..." Jigglypuff said.

"...Let's just hope he can forgive our irrational behaviors..." Marth said.

They all turned to Chris once again...

...But there was someone already apologizing that they didn't notice because Lucario didn't let them see him...

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Laughter and Merriment

"And who cares about being a videogame character?" Pikachu asked as he stood on Chris's knees. "I accept this and I'd like you to forgive me for being a darn bastard."

Chris sniffed and wiped some tears. "Are you...being honest?"

"Hell yes!" Pikachu moved his tail to the sides for a moment. "You want only to have fun, right? So I'm going to give you lots and lots of fun! And while we're at it, why don't you let me tell you about my past life? I'm sure these DVDs with my adventures with Ash don't have true facts."

"...I..." Chris sniffed and wiped his tears before smiling a little to Pikachu. Lucario noticed the faint smile and he smiled a little in relief. "I'd like to do that with you..."

"Thank you, Pikachu," Lucario said with a nod. "You're the only one of those imbeciles who apologized to Chris and made him feel better."

Pikachu blushed and scratched his head. "Hey, hey, I'm a friend, am I not? I'm supposed to be like this."

"Thank you...thank you so much..." Chris muttered as he made a happy expression. "I knew I could count on you."

"That's what I'm here foOOOOOOOR!!!"

Chris looked up where Fox was grabbing Pikachu's head with his right hand. The vulpine looked down at Chris and gave him a sarcastic happy expression. "Sorry for interrupting, buuut, would you wait a minute?" Fox asked nicely.

"..." Chris only blinked confused before he nodded.

"Oh, thank you." Fox said sarcastically as he dragged Pikachu to the others. "Stupid darn traitor..." Fox whispered through gritted fangs.

"Getting the credit all for yourself, huh?" Ness asked with his bat ready.

"W-wait, you guys..." Pikachu gulped as many of them prepared to attack him. "I-I accepted my own fault faster than a-all of you did, so d-don't kill me for that!"

"Oh, sure," Jigglypuff pouted a little. "We know you very well."

"And you like to do this in order to screw us over." Roy said with his sword ready.

"Prepare to die, my friend." Ike said.

Pikachu gulped one last time after Fox put a hand below the Electric Pokémon to make sure he couldn't run away. "F-Fox, y-you're touching my a-"

"...Chris..." Lucario began.

"...Yes?" Chris asked.

"...Can I block your eyes? You shouldn't see what is coming next..."

"...Oh, do tell me..."

"They're going to murder Pikachu."

"..."

"...In our room."

"W-WAIT!" Chris yelled as he stood up and made everyone about to kill Pikachu look at him. The World Traveler took the Electric Pokémon off from Fox's hands. "Y-you can't fight in my room, let alone murder Pikachu! A-are you nuts or what?!"

"Oh, thank Lord Arceus there's someone who CARES for my welfare!" Pikachu said crying toon tears.

"...I-I wasn't going to! You all know that!" Peach said worried.

Music stops

Several minutes later...

Everyone was sitting down like they did before as they stared at Chris. Lucario was standing close to him as the World Traveler gulped and looked ashamed. "...So...what's your conclusion?"

"...We're sorry..." DK began with an ashamed look. "...We're sorry for acting like that and we accept what we really are..."

"It was a truth that was too much to believe in..." Peach looked down. "My whole life is just..."

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Friends in my Heart

"No..." Chris said. "I originally didn't think of any of you as characters to amuse me. I...just like to play videogames...but when I first went to the videogames, I started to believe in my fantasies much more than before."

"...That doesn't change the fact that the people like you here can change our destinies whenever they want to..." Samus said.

"...Although..." Master Hand began. "I broke that part."

"What?" Twink asked.

Master Hand nodded. "Yes. Think about it, when I came here, I officially broke the ties that decided everyone's path of life. You all here are witnesses that our continuities were broken apart after you left your own worlds and joined this tournament. However..."

"Those broken paths became united, and thus we all walk the same reality." Mewtwo finished.

"Exactly..." Master Hand nodded. "And I must ask something: Chris, now that we all are working to stop something that wasn't originally a set plot of a videogame, do you really think this is a videogame, after all you've experienced?"

"...No..." Chris responded. "Because each one of you have different stories that weren't explained in the videogames and the fact that all of you are here, in my own world..."

"..." Snake wondered for a moment. "...Then I'm glad I was able to get off from that path."

"...You're not angry anymore?"

"...To be honest, yes," Snake said but Chris looked down. "However, knowing that true reality became, as ironic as it sounds, real, is good enough for me."

"...Yeah..." Nana nodded as she wiped some tears. "We're videogame characters that are walking and living in this world, your world, Chris."

"This is where we were created," Mario said as he looked outside. "And come to think of it, this world looks so peaceful and quiet."

"T-this is just a normal neighborhood. The city is much louder..." Chris said blushing.

Yoshi looked around the room. "I'm happy I became part of this."

"At last, your lies were exposed, and we all accept our own realities." Ness said.

"...Shouldn't we like, apology now?" Roy asked as he looked at Chris with a depressed look. "If we can still make up for what we were going to do, then we should at least apologize."

"If Chris promises to tell all the truth himself with no lies." Diddy said.

"...Everyone..." Chris began as he wiped some tears. "...From now on, I promise I won't hide any lies. I want to be honest and sincere because I want to be friends with everyone here."

"Good luck trying that with me." Wolf said.

"Oh, don't listen to him," Fox said. "He'll be begging to be on your side. You'll see."

"Want to repeat that again?"

"Will that piss you off?"

"A lot."

"He'll be begging to be on your side. You'll see."

"...Tsk." Wolf looked away as Fox chuckled a little.

"..." Kirby walked to Chris, then he jumped to him and gave the World Traveler a hug while he cried some tears. "I'm so sorry, Chris. Please, forgive me..."

"Thank you, Kirby..." Chris whispered as he sobbed a little. "Thank you so much, really..."

"...Er..." Ike backed away a little. "...Why don't we say our apologies at the same time? Giving a hug is just too much for my tastes..."

"That sounds tolerable for me." Falco said shrugging.

Popo looked at everyone, who in turn looked at him and nodded. "And a 1, and a 2, and a..."

"We're sorry for acting so hard on you. We promise that we're going to be good and enjoy this adventure together. As long as you say and don't hide the truth, we're going to give you our full support. If there are difficulties ahead, then we may as well get rid of them and continue on, because that's our main objective as a whole group" everyone said at the same time.

"Because we feel so much better after accepting the truth." Yoshi said with a happy expression.

"T-this is something I'm going to really enjoy..." Lucas said as he wiped some tears.

"10 hurrays for Chris!" Kirby suggested happily.

"W-wait! D-don't go that far eithe-" Chris blushed embarrased but everyone decided to go on ahead.

The room became more lively after each Smasher (save for Snake, Wolf, Meta Knight and Mewtwo) cheered for Chris loudly. Many of them raising fists to the air, while some of them jumped in excitement. Chris was only able to watch all the cheers without doing anything, because, after all, they all cared for him after he told the truth. Once everyone stopped and looked at World Traveler...

"..." Chris closed his eyes while some tears strolled down his cheeks as he smiled a little. Lucario walked closer to him and put a hand on his left shoulder. "...Thank you, everyone, thank you so much for being so nice to me..."

"Hey, that was the least we could do for you." Toon Link said.

"You became part of this crazy insane family, after all." Master Hand said.

"That sounded so insulting right there..." Link said.

Master Hand chuckled. "Well, that's true! Just look at all of us! Humans, anthros, Pokémon, cloud people, puppet people, star people, heck, we have everyone!"

"...Crazy family..." Chris muttered before he chuckled. "...Maybe this is the family I was wishing to have..."

Lucario chuckled. "Wasn't one of your wishes to have a family with different people?"

"...Yes..." Chris said with a nod.

"Um, wait..." Pit looked around. "We're in your house so...where is your family?"

Music stops

"...My...family?" Chris asked slowly with a concerned look.

"Didn't you say your parents left you alone here before?" Fox asked.

"...Y-yes...but..."

"You didn't explain fully that part in the observatory, did you?" Samus asked.

"I remember you stopped talking about them too." Mario said.

"...Please...don't hate me for this..." Chris said with an ashamed look. "...But...I just...I just can't tell you what happened here... I don't want to remember why did my parents leave me..."

"Here we go with the same (beep!) again..." Snake said with a frown.

"Stop!" Peach yelled. "If Chris doesn't want to tell us something that it hurt him during his past, then we shouldn't just barge in and revive a horrible event of his life!"

"...You're right..." Samus nodded. "The same sorrow, I can understand that."

"...Me too..." Fox muttered ashamed.

"...Thank you for understanding..." Chris said. "...You really are my friends after all..."

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Laughter and Merriment

"Ouch," Falco grinned. "Sappy line."

"Who are you? Ike?" Nana asked.

Ike glared at her. "H-hey! What was that supposed to mean?"

"Y-you guys are!!" Chris clenched his fists, but then, he chuckled before laughing for a bit. "You guys are...so amazing..."

"So true," Pikachu nodded as he crossed his arms. "So darn true..."

"...Where's Kirby?" Pichu asked.

It was not long before they all looked at the TV, where the Super Smash Bros. Melee game started with Kirby using Mario in Classic Mode. They all watched Kirby playing against a CPU Roy before the game started and Kirby played it.

"...Oh, right..." Chris said nodding. "It's a videogame after all."

"...You know..." Sonic tilted his head as he walked to Kirby and looked at the TV. "...This thing looks interesting..."

"...Have to admit it, but yeah, it seems fun to play..." DK said nodding.

"GAME!" the TV announced as Kirby won the first match.

The next match was against a CPU Luigi and the game started.

"T-that's me!" Luigi said shocked.

"Hell no, another Luigi." C. Falcon said with a frown.

"..." Kirby tilted by the sides as he tried to defeat the CPU Luigi. However, the Star Warrior decided to drop the mode and go directly to the multiplayer option, where most of the Smashers were displayed there.

"...Damn, Fox," Wolf said with a snicker. "You looked SCARY in that game with THAT face..."

"Then your face DID undergo a plastic surgery." Yoshi said surprised.

"..." Fox looked at his Melee version, then at his Assault version. "...The people here like to change our looks so much and mess around a bit, don't they?" Fox raised an eyebrow with an annoyed look.

"H-hey, t-that's what happens when companies leave Nintendo and new ones get involved." Chris said blushing embarrassed.

"Then, can you express them your opinions and make us look like we should?" Pit asked.

"...N-no... I don't speak japanese or chinese..."

Marth blinked. "So, those were supposed to be my languages... I can speak to them."

"NO NO NO NO NO!" Chris shook his head. "Remember? Videogame characters plus real world plus getting seen equals madness?"

"I don't see why not." Mario said.

"Are you all nuts or what?"

"No. Why can't we?" Ness asked.

"Because there are so many people wanting all of you out!"

"...I don't see what's bad with that..." Ike said.

"If you go outside, fangirls are so going to rape you." Chris said simply as Ike gasped a little with some others.

"Chris!" Lucario said shocked.

"Well, that's true!" Chris went on. "Many of you are so wished for fangirls that they'd go so far to keep you all for themselves!"

"...Just what could those "fangirls" do to us males?" Fox asked.

"Oh, many things," Chris raised several fingers. "From raping you, to...you don't want to know..."

"Oh, we want," Red said. "You're not going to hide anything, right?"

"...Let me show you this site and you'll know... I'm warning you beforehand though. This isn't going to be so good..." Chris said as he went ot his computer...

...And thus, they all knew about what evils dwelled in Deviantart...

Several hours later. 1:30 PM...

"...So?" Chris asked after showing them the site. Most of them were blushing in utter embarrassment and humilliation.

"...Mama mia..." Mario said with wide eyes.

"...I...can't say anything bad to describe what I just saw..." Peach said utterly shocked.

"Nice butt in that pic, thoug-"

"AAAAAHH!!!" Peach accidentaly kicked Popo away in fear.

"..." Nana wasn't even going to speak after she saw everything in that site.

"...W-what the heck was all that about?" Wolf asked.

"Well, the FoxXWolf pairing recently was born like 1 month ago s-" Chris was interrupted.

"S-stop it!" Fox yelled closing his eyes with an angered expression, even to the point where he clenched his fangs. "T-that site is just saying horrible lies! And I know those ARE lies!"

"At least we know those are real lies...ugh..." Chris shrugged.

"What the heck? I-I'm not in love with him!" Falco yelled, pointing at Fox, who shrugged.

"The FoxXFalco one is much more popular thoug-"

"SHUT IT!"

"...O-okay..." Chris nodded.

"Can you...um...erase all that?" Marth asked blushing.

"I'm not the one in charge of the site!"

"B-but all those pictures..." Ike shrugged. "...W-what is the people here thinking about us?"

"They picture you as gays." Popo said chuckling.

"Can I beat the snout out of him?" Roy asked.

"The MarthXRoy one was so cute." Peach commented.

Everyone stared at her in shock.

"Didn't you just say those pictures were awful?" Geno asked with a shocked look.

"...W-what? I-I thought it looked cute..." Peach said.

"...They were...laying down...on the bed..." Pit trailed off.

"...N-naked..." Lucas finished in utter embarrassment. "...I-if my mom was here, she'd slap me so hard and punish me for my entire life..."

"..." Chris shifted his eyes. "...Want to see it again?"

"NO!" Pikachu yelled disgusted. "T-that filthy website is full of sins and twisted variations of all of us!"

"...Huh?" Chris looked at Kirby, who was shown playing with Ness, Toon Link and Luigi in match in Melee.

"Ha, you missed." Ness taunted using himself against Toon Link's Young Link."

"Ha, I didn't now." Toon Link said as he landed an arrow on Ness's Ness.

"Y-you won't beat me!" Luigi said as he barely dodged a Bom-omb from Kirby's Mario.

"...Oh, right, I forgot about that videogame..." Pikachu said before shifting his eyes. "...The first one to lose hands the controller to me!"

"Wait a minute, I want to play too." Roy said.

"Will you wait? I want to check out my abilities in the game." C. Falcon said with a grin.

"No, you both can't." Sonic said.

"Oh, so you're thinking about other things at this momen-"

"Cause I'm going first!"

"You little..."

"I

[DededeCloneChris]

"I want to play if I get the chance." Marth said.

"No, you won't. I'm going first." DK said.

"All of you will wait because I'M going first and you will go so down, that includes you, Nana." Popo said with a triumphant smile.

"...Everyone's welcome to gang up against my brother in a match!" Nana offered.

And thus, every single videogame character wanted to play videogames.

"..." Chris watched all of them talking between themselves as he, Mewtwo, Snake, Meta Knight, Lucario and Master Hand watched. "...Ironic, videogame characters playing videogames of themselves... Wait, why aren't my things here? I thought they were in the mansion..."

"I made copies of all of them," Master Hand explained.

"Oh, thank you. I thought I was going to get confused."

"Hmph," Mewtwo closed his eyes. "I don't have anything else to say after this."

"Neither do I," Snake said lighting a cigar. "I'm glad the kid finally cleared my doubts."

"..." Chris looked away.

"No need to get sentimental anymore."

"...I know." Chris said with a small smile.

"490 Pokémon?" Pikachu asked as he played Pokémon Diamond. "Chris, you catched all of them?"

"I-ah-got some from the GTS."

"...My full respect to you, man," Pikachu said nodding. "This is what I've been expecting Ash to achieve, but nooooooo, he lets all the Pokémon go like nothing happened. You are different from him."

Chris blushed. "...T-thanks?"

"Have you ever considered to be a Pokémon Master before? I bet you could be one faster than Ash."

"T-thanks, but I don't want to."

"Aw, that's a shame," Pikachu said. "...I need to play this even more."

"Soooo..." Ike trailed off as he saw himself in the box art of his game. "...This is me, right?"

"Yes." Chris nodded.

"...Can I see more about this?"

"Until they're done playing." Lucario said.

"What the hell?" Falco asked irritated as he read an instruction manual of Star Fox: Assault. "You can only play as Fox all the game but not anyone else?"

"W-well, he's the main character and you get to shoot...a few times to the bosses, but you can play as yourself in multiplayer."

"That's not fair. Why he can and I can't?"

"...Ask that to your creator..."

"So where is he or she?"

"I-I don't know where he or she lives! But if this makes you feel better, you can play against either Fox or Wolf because they both can be played in multiplayer."

"Wait, you can use me?" Wolf asked raising an eyebrow.

"...There's a part of the game where you get beaten by Fox in the story mode..."

"...Talk about nonsense..." Wolf said with a frown.

"How come I haven't seen my "videogame" here?" Pit asked.

"Your game has a hard difficult and besides, I bought it from the VC. I don't have the real box here."

"...Oh well..."

Master Hand chuckled. "Well, thanks for letting them know what they are."

"I wanted to evade it because I feared to mess up their continuities...but I guess nothing bad happened." Chris said.

"Yes!" Red proclaimed happily. "I won!"

"You won because you used the Hammer! That's cheating!" Nana said angrily.

"Nah-ah. I just picked it up with Pikachu and you came too close with Popo, so there!"

"Will you 2 shut up?" Ness asked.

"Yeah. It's my turn to test out my game after all." Fox said as he held his game.

"Oh, heck no!" Link said. "We all know my game is much better than any of yours!" he held Twilight Princess on his right hand.

"M-mine could be..." Luigi said with Luigi's Mansion.

"I-I want to see where did I leave my wallet in mine..." Olimar said, holding Pikmin.

"Sure," C. Falcon rolled his eyes as he held F-Zero GX. "I suggest my own videogame."

"...I find this interesting..." Lucario began. "They want to play themselves."

"..." Chris chuckled. "I know. It looks weird but at the same time so ironic and so peculiar."

"I hereby proclaim that you will all play my OWN game!" Sonic said grinning as he held Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

Music stops

4 hours later... 5:30 PM

After playing through all the afternoon the videogames, everyone was sitting on the floor, talking between themselves about the games they just played.

"So, we're all good?" Chris asked and everyone nodded.

"That was so fun back there." Diddy said.

"Yes. Did you see how Sonic was showing off that nobody could out-run him with Amy, but Peach proved him otherwise?" Toon Link asked.

Sonic crossed his arms. "Excuse me. I was distracted in that game."

Peach giggled. "But that was fun."

"For you, but not for me."

"Oh well."

"Okay. Enough about videogame talk." Master Hand said.

Fox looked annoyed. "You're saying that because somebody didn't blow up your Arwing 7 times straight."

Wolf smirked. "It's not my fault you suck at your own game, McCloud."

"You're enjoying this so much, aren't you?"

"If that has me owning you, all the way until the end."

"Tsk..."

"Enough about kiddy games," Snake interrupted. "Let's move on with more important matters."

"The Subspace." Marth said.

"Right."

"And Chris knows." Geno said.

"Better yet," Chris looked at Master Hand. "Master Hand knows much more than me."

"...Okay, you got me there." Master Hand coughed a little.

"You admit you erased our memories about that event?" Luigi asked.

"Yes, I do. I guess it's better to release that memory out so you can remember everything."

"Didn't you say you erased our minds a moment ago?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Well, yes, but not totally. There are small fragments in your minds that were preserved just in case."

"...Then go ahead and remind us." Mario said.

"Will do." Master Hand said with a snap of fingers.

Everyone in the room blinked several times before looking at each other.

"...W-whoa..." Red took a step back. "...I remember...everything now..."

"The Subspace...how Tabuu looks like...the whole battles..." Samus trailed off.

"...I remember I was walking peacefully on the Halberd when..." Peach looked at Fox.

"...I fired at you without even caring...and Zelda owns me an Arwing..." Fox added.

"Yeah..." Snake nodded. "...Everything makes sense now."

"We fought Tabuu...but we lost..." Pikachu said.

"O-oww..." Olimar moaned. "M-my head hurts after that fight..."

"...Strange..." Pichu looked around. "I don't have any memories of that fight..."

"Or myself." Mewtwo said.

"Or me." Roy said.

Master Hand sighed. "Okay, guys. Let's go back to the mansion where I'll explain everything about the Subspace."

"..." Chris looked down.

"Don't worry, I'll stop the time here once we're back."

"...I'm going to miss my room for a while..."

"Me too," Lucario said nodding. "Me too..."

Master Hand called forth the portal and everyone began to enter it. Chris stopped for a moment to look at his room but then, he sighed disappointed.

"What is it?" Lucario asked.

"I'm really going to miss my room..."

"E-excuse me..." Lucas interrupted. "B-but...I'd like you come here and stay sometime..."

"Huh?" Chris said confused.

Lucas smiled a little. "I like this world and I want to stay here if we can get back... What do you say?"

"...Thank you, Lucas," Chris said with a smile. "You cheered me up with that."

"...I'm glad." Lucas said with a nod before the trio entered inside the portal and vanished.

The clock that was in the room suddenly stopped, indicating that the time there stopped as well.

Smash Mansion
Command Room

All the Smashers were talking between themselves after remembering what happened in the battle against Tabuu while Master Hand coughed to get their attention.

"Alright, alright. You all know what happened, right?" Master Hand asked.

"Everything, to where we planned our assault on his own world." Mario said.

"Wait, planned?" Chris asked.

"Yes," Master Hand nodded. "In the beginning, we all here planned the attack against Tabuu. Although it didn't look like an attack, but rather a decoy to take them out..."

"And the new Smashers weren't involved before." Link said.

"Oh, about that...they were involved, remember?" Master Hand asked.

"Let's remember how did this happen again, little by little." Samus said.

"Flashback waves time!" Crazy Hand said as the previously mentioned action began to happen...

A long, long time ago...

Final Fantasy VIII - SeeD

A long time ago, in the same room, there were Master Hand and Crazy Hand with all the Smashers (without the villains) as they discussed something...

"Okay, everyone's here, right?" Master Hand asked and everyone nodded. "Okay, let's begin the meeting."

"The Subspace Army is an army that plans to take over all our worlds." Marth said.

"Yes. The army is leaded by Tabuu, the embodiment of the Subspace." Master Hand explained as he showed them how Tabuu looked like.

"He looks like Link's uncle." Ness said.

"Will you stop?" Link asked.

"What? This is the first time."

"Enough," Master Hand interrupted. "As I was saying before, this is Tabuu."

"He loo-" Ness noticed that Link was glaring at him. "Looks like a virtual character."

"Whatever he looks like doesn't matter," Master Hand said. "Anyway, let's continue. The Subspace Bombs..." the screen showed them a Subspace Bomb. "This is what they use to create the Subspace."

"It looks too basic to me." Zelda said.

"Oh, it's not," Master Hand pointed at the screen that showed 2 R.O.B.s. "Using these robots of the Isle of the Ancients, they can activate the bombs and blow them up, creating a big sphere that leads to the Subspace."

"So, our main objective is to raid that floating isle, right?" Falco asked.

"Exactly," Master Hand showed them the Isle of the Ancients close to an ice mountain before it expanded, showing a big terrain with different areas. "This place is where they manufacture all the Subspace Bombs. If we destroy this place, then they will stop from creating more areas for the Subspace. If that happens, then Tabuu will roam everywhere and create destruction."

"Hmph," Lucario (Riley's one) crossed his arms. "It's close to that mountain over there."

"Leave that to us," Nana said. "Ice mountains are our thing. We're the Ice Climbers after all."

"And we climb all the way up then go rolling all the way down." Popo said.

"...Ignore what he just said."

"Okay, let's give everyone's area." Master Hand said as the screen showed them the places where they were going to be located.

"Stadium..." Peach read. "We're going to draw them with the Midair Stadium..."

"You, Mario, Kirby and Zelda will go there," Master Hand ordered. "The fake tourney will fool them to get out from their place. This will most likely trigger their plans to take over the Smash Bros. universe."

"Smash Bros. universe?" Chris asked outside the flashback.

"Well, you're in the Smash Bros. universe...but...you can define this universe as just a simple random place." Master Hand said.

"Tell me that my ship is going to be retrieved." Meta Knight said.

"We're going to do everything in our hands to retrieve the Halberd." Master Hand said.

"The Subspace Army began to appear after the Melee tournament ended. Kirby told me then that Dedede managed to find Meta Knight's ship and he stole the Halberd from Meta Knight. My guess is that the villains were acting like they should be." Master Hand explained.

"They were already sneaking around our worlds to get vital equipment to get themselves protected so they could have an advantage against us." Snake said.

"I remember they stole the blueprints of our technology with the Reflectors in the Great Fox..." Fox wondered.

"I hope you speak the truth," Meta Knight said. "Once we're done with this, I'll leave."

"Sure, sure..." Master Hand nodded. "Lucario, Popo and Nana will go to this mountaint, where the base is located close."

"I can't reach it from there. Would that be some kind of "meeting point" to infiltrate the base?" Riley's Lucario asked.

"Correct. That's where Fox and Falco come in with their Arwings and the Great Fox."

Falco snapped his fingers. "Why didn't you say that before? I didn't take my Arwing here!"

"Or neither the Great Fox." Fox added.

"We only have his Arwing and not mine!"

"Relax and calm down," Master Hand said. "The operation is going to start tonight. You still have time to go and get your Arwing and the Great Fox in order to attack."

"...Shoot..." Falco wondered for a moment. "...You all go on ahead. I'll meet up with Fox at some point with everything ready and set."

Fox grinned and nodded. "Then go and don't forget anything."

"Roger that." Falco said with a nod before he ran away inside a portal to his world that Master Hand made.

"Crazy, I hope you open a portal big enough for the Great Fox in my abscence. Don't YOU dare to screw this up." Master Hand warned.

"Will do, bruddha, will do." Crazy Hand said nodding.

"Moving on," Master Hand pointed at the map. "...Where is Yoshi?"

"Lost somewhere with my sword," Link said annoyed. "I told him to go to this blacksmith, but he hasn't returned yet from his trip."

"...I guess you should get going and look for both Yoshi and your sword."

"Only my sword. He deserves to get lost." Link said before he ran off.

"Aahh..." Master Hand sighed before going on. "Okay, my sources tell me that Snake already infiltrated the Halberd."

"Why did you call that guy here anyway?" C. Falcon asked.

"Propaganda purposes, or this threat since I've heard he was an expert to infiltrate anything," Master Hand shuddered. "If you're a big floating hand, be careful if you go to his base. Snake's gang went all nuclear warhead on me until I explained them the situation. Luckily, they understood at the end and agreed to help us out. You won't regret his help at all."

"I see..." Samus said.

"Rats, Samus! You should go there now!"

"But I don't like the idea about letting them steal my Power Suit just to drag them out." Samus said.

"Sorry, but it's the only way to get there...besides..."

"...Pikachu and Pichu were captured..." Jigglypuff said sadly.

"..." Master Hand shook his head. "And don't forget Mr. G&W, he was also kidnapped."

"At least Luigi didn't," Roy said before looking around. "Speaking of him, where is he?"

"He said he went on a journey to prove himself or something like that..." DK wondered.

"Didn't he just started that yesterday though?" Ike asked.

"...He did..." Mario said a little embarrassed.

"Let's sort everything out again." Master Hand suggested as he gave everyone their areas.

"I guess Pichu, Roy and I were somehow killed and we were taken directly from the Melee tournament because of Chris, right?" Mewtwo asked.

"...Yes..." Master Hand said.

"B-but how? D-did we lose or something?" Pichu asked.

"It was...horrible...but let's continue with what happened here."

"Is it okay for you to enter the Subspace alone?" Toon Link asked.

"I want to know why Bowser, Ganondorf, Wario, Wolf and Dedede are doing this whole nonsense," Master Hand said. "Besides, Tabuu wants me and my brother to open up a special portal."

"Special portal? What could that portal be?" Marth asked.

"...Y-you shouldn't know..."

"Why'd Bowser and the others join them?" Mario asked.

"Duh, they're stupidly evil enough to achieve world domination or something like that. You know, a cliché." Squirtle said.

"I remember that I just had Squirtle and I was chasing Ivysaur and Charizard... My memory is all fuzzy but that's how I went to capture them." Red explained.

"In the meantime, Red will catch Ivysaur and Charizard so he can join us later on." Master Hand explained.

"This is going to get tough and hard... I-I mean, I just started my adventure as a Pokémon Trainer and I don't know the basics at all..." Red adjusted his cap. "But I'm ready for anything. What about you, Squirtle?"

"Meh, I guess." Squirtle said.

"Ness," Master Hand looked at Ness. "You know Pokey came back, right?"

Ness looked at Lucas, who shivered a little but nodded. "Yes. Tabuu called him back, didn't he?" Ness asked.

"And many other enemies as well."

"I-I just hope we can defeat Porky..." Lucas said.

"What? Did he change his name illegally? Because that would be so him..." Ness said with a bored look.

"W-well, I met him as Porky so I don't know."

"I see."

"DK, Diddy," Master Hand looked at both Kongs. "Your area is the jungle."

DK nodded. "Yep, the jungle is our turf alright."

"I heard they stole our bananas." Diddy said.

DK's eyes widened. "Oh NO! They DIDN'T do that!"

"...E-er, you're not going right no-" Master Hand saw both Kongs already leaving. "Seriously, these guys... Okay, C. Falcon and Olimar will use the Falcon Flier and get to the Isle of the Ancients."

C. Falcon nodded. "Investigate whatever is outside their base, right?"

"B-but why do I have to go with him?" Olimar asked.

"Because he doesn't have more backup, that's why." Master Hand explained.

"Let's get going then." C. Falcon said before walking out with a worried Olimar.

"...Many of you are so going to change our strategies so much, I swear..."

"Excuse me," Mario interrupted. "But I haven't seen Sonic here..."

"Oh, him? Sonic sent me a message saying he was occuppied with a "forced" date with Amy," Master Hand explained. "I hope he does something in this, at least."

"Then should we prepare?" Nana asked.

"Yes. Everyone, move out and let's begin the operation. We have to get in this area where they operate their tactics. Please, don't FAIL or else your universe and this one are going to be doomed forever if Tabuu achieves what he wants."

All the Smashers nodded before walking out.

"But things really got out of hand after that... Our strategies were constantly changed by different circumstances along the way. So many happenings changed our movements a lot...then, the fight against him ended in defeat for all of us..." Master Hand explained as then the screen showed the fight against Tabuu.

Subspace
Tabuu's Lair

"Impudent fools..." Tabuu said as all the Smashers were grunting in extreme pain, on the dark floor of the Subspace. "I have managed to push you all to the risk of dying. Sonic was not able to weaken me enough, which in turn gave you your fatal destinies."

"B-bastard..." Snake muttered.

"Y-you..." Master Hand muttered painfully. "...What are you...going to do?"

"Simple," Tabuu raised his left hand where a red energy ball began to form. "First, I am going to get rid of you, hand."

Master Hand gasped. "N-no! You can't do this to me!"

"I will do it," Tabuu threatened with a snicker. "And I will enjoy it."

"No, stop!" Mewtwo yelled as he got up and ran in front of Master Hand.

"Y-you can't kill him! T-that's so cruel!" Pichu yelled as he ran in front of Master Hand.

"I-I...still have energies...to fight you..." Roy muttered as he coughed blood and walked to the duo.

"Fine," Tabuu grinned evily. "You 3 dare to step in and save the hand's life. Since all of you have more energies than the others, I guess I may as well kill you all NOW!!!" Tabuu yelled furiously as the energy ball went towards the 3 and exploded in a big blast of red colors that blinded Master Hand, who got pushed back from the force of the impact.

Music stops

"...And after I looked around..." Master Hand looked down.

"...We were killed..." Roy muttered in shock.

"But only our "future" selves did," Mewtwo explained. "We're taken from the past, thus allowing us to fight again."

"Tabuu..." Squirtle looked down. "...He defeated us with his red rings. I can only remember that he used some rings that depleted our healths at the point of dying."

"After that," Master Hand continued. "I quickly wondered after seeing that we had no hope to win..."

"...U-ugh..." Master Hand got up and floated. "You...idiot...killing those 3 was unnecessary!"

"Wasn't it?" Tabuu asked with a chuckle. "It is better to crush someone to get rid of my problems rather than let them fight another day."

"Let them fight...another day..." Master Hand wondered as he looked at all the fainted Smashers.

"Of course, such a thing is not going to happen."

"...You think?" Master Hand asked before snapping his fingers. "Crazy! Come here!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Crazy Hand said enthusiastically as he appeared and made Tabuu gasp. "The pleaser o-"

"Shut up!" Master Hand yelled. "Hurry! We need to erase everyone's minds first!"

"Like brainwashing their brains?"

"...Something like that. Let's do it! We have to do this fast!"

"What are you 2 hands insuinating?" Tabuu asked narrowing his eyes.

"Hand powers lvl. 9!" Crazy Hand yelled as both hands glowed intensely and snapped their fingers. Many glows began to appear on the Smashers' heads before vanishing.

"Good, their memories were erased." Master Hand said.

"Why erasing their memories, I ask?" Tabuu asked. "Still it does not matter. I will kill you 2 now."

"Hand powers lvl. 4!" Crazy Hand yelled as many different portals appeared underneath the Smashers and disappeared inside. "Whew..." Crazy Hand crashed on the floor. "That was...awesome..."

"No!" Tabuu yelled. "W-what did you do to them?! I was about to seize their existences!"

"Simple, virtual freak!" Master Hand yelled. "I returned them to their own worlds right after the Melee tournament ended so you can take off your hands on them!"

"W-what?! B-but how could you do that if I am sure I weakened you?!"

"I was acting up," Master Hand said. "I was waiting for the right moment to help, but I guess it didn't turn out well..."

"...You...insolent..."

"Which reminds me..." Master Hand looked at Crazy Hand. "We should make our escape as well."

"If you think you can escape with everyone, then you guessed wrong. You missed your opportunity! You do not have nowhere to run off to!" Tabuu said as his wings sprouted.

"Not quite," Master Hand explained. "We have the real world...the mansion as well, but the real world sounds more convenient."

"...The real world?!"

"Yes! The world you so wanted to invade! My stupid brother and I can go there if we concentrate our powers! This may as well be the only time you get close to it!"

"Ha! You will not escape there!"

"Obey Lord Tabuu," the Ancient Minister said. "You don't stand a chance against him."

"R.O.B...we couldn't rescue him...and Mr. G&W was captured once again after the battle ended..." Master Hand said.

"Once R.O.B. got to Tabuu, the bastard convinced R.O.B. to join back to his army after he threatened to destroy his race." Samus explained.

"...But his race was erased when all those bombs blowed up." Olimar said.

"Tabuu had the power to return the Isle of the Ancients," Master Hand explained. "He did it in order to regain R.O.B.'s help."

"Oh, we sure will!" Master Hand said. "We're going to get prepared for the next encounter! I promise you that your evil schemes will end!"

"Do not make me laugh," Tabuu said. "You do not have anyone else to help you. You will not escape because I am going to finish you 2 OFF!!!" Tabuu yelled as he charged at them.

"Crazy, pounding time!"

"Yippie!" Crazy Hand said before he quickly made a fist and slammed Tabuu down the floor, making the Subspace leader grunt in pain while Master Hand glowed to escape to the real world.

"R.O.B.!" Master Hand yelled as he created the portal. "You have to come with us! Tabuu is only going to hurt you even more!"

"B-but...my race is here..." the Ancient Minister said sadly.

"...Tabuu..." Master Hand muttered as his brother was pushed away by Tabuu's wings. "...You will regret everything you've done to us."

Then, the portal opened.

"FOOLS!" Tabuu yelled angrily. "YOU ARE NOT GOING ESCAPE FROM HERE!"

"Hello!" Crazy Hand said to make Tabuu turn at him before slapping him away. "Festival, here I go!" the insane hand exclaimed stupidly before charging at the portal.

"W-wait! Stop! You're charging at m-" Master Hand was interrupted as he was slammed against the portal by hiw brother's action before it vanished.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!" Tabuu yelled furiously, the Subspace shaking violently in rage as the Ancient Minister looked down.

"...Are you feeling well?" the Ancient Minister asked.

"...I am fine..." Tabuu muttered as he floated above while his wings disappeared. "Those hands are going to wish for their deaths once we cross paths again..."

"..." the Ancient Minister looked at Riley's Lucario. "It looks like they forgot about him."

"..." Tabuu glared at the Aura Pokémon. "...His powers were not full enough to teleport all of them back. It looks like his memory was left intact."

"...Should we use him?"

"...Yes, for a future mission should we need his help. The Shadow Bugs will possess his body and he will not break free so easily."

End of flashback

Command Room

"...And we met you 2, in the real world." Master Hand said.

"You almost crushed me." Chris said annoyed.

"That was Crazy's fault, not mine."

"..." Chris looked down.

"Yes, all of that happened the day you got the game. It was sure a surprise to see another Lucario living with you, but I guess that was an advantage for our growing plans."

"That reminds me," Link began. "We never bothered to investigate what were they."

"Yes, we only wanted to defeat them and save this universe." Ness said.

"But finding the origins of Tabuu and the Subspace were slowly getting more interesting." Fox said.

"...I've been meaning to ask something..." Pit began. "...Why haven't Tabuu invaded Chris's world?"

"Oh...I guess I should explain that too," Master Hand cleared his throat. "You see, Tabuu's main objective was Chris's world from the beginning."

"So he wanted to take over his world too?" Mario asked.

"Exactly," Master Hand nodded. "By gathering enough areas with the Subspace Bombs, Tabuu grows stronger."

"And he has more freedom to move around." Snake added.

"Correct," Master Hand nodded again. "He can go to any of our worlds...except for Chris's world, since that world is the real one, where we were created in some form."

"Videogames..."

"Yes, again. He first needs to take over many worlds as possible in order to create a portal to the real world."

"However, he didn't when he took some areas from where we found his base." Pikachu said.

"That was because it was just a preparation for the main plans."

"...Our own worlds..." Meta Knight said.

"...First, I thought with the areas he already took was enough for him, but I guessed wrong. Tabuu saw the opportunity to take over the other worlds once he was about to get rid of us."

"Then you acted quickly and teleported everyone else back to our times when the Melee tourney ended." Roy said.

"Correct. By erasing your memories from the event, it was going to be easier to let you stay and "recover" in your worlds, because I know you guys don't hesitate to fight for revenge."

"..." Peach looked down ashamed.

"Things went from bad to worse when Chris got mixed into this," Master Hand looked at Chris. "His videogames actually allows Tabuu to take over many worlds enough to feed the Subspace to its maximum."

"...And if he takes them over..." Lucario trailed off.

"...Game Over...for every person living in any world, even Chris's world," Master Hand explained as many of them shrugged. "If Tabuu does manage to get to the real world, that's it, we lose and he wins."

"...We won't let that guy do that, right?" Toon Link asked with a serious face.

"Well, duh!" Master Hand responded. "Everyone in here has to do their best and defeat Tabuu's army before they even lay a hand on a world! I'm just glad the galaxies in Mario's world were reborn again and that piece of the Subspace got erased!"

"T-that was so weird...b-but yet good..." Luigi shuddered.

"Then...Chris, Lucario, Pichu, Roy and Mewtwo, you all know how did this happen and where it's leading if we don't stop them in time." Master Hand said.

"..." Pichu looked depressed and Chris picked him up.

"I think I can imagine that very well," Chris said. "In the story mode, you all were supposed to defeat Tabuu, but this is completely different."

"We got our butts handed to him," Sonic said with angry expression. "Grr, my Spin Dash wasn't enough to bring him down when I arrived there. Maybe if Tails could've been faster to bring me there, then..."

"No," Master Hand shook himself. "You didn't make that much of a difference, even if you did or didn't arrive quickly."

"I remember you flipped us off when you "rescued" us." Nana said irritated.

"N-no, I waved a finger at you. That's how I am." Sonic said with a grin.

"Nah, that was definitely the middle finger." Toon Link said.

Chris blinked confused at this. "...Moving on, that's how everything started then?"

"Pretty much." Ike said.

"And when did the newcomers arrive?"

"They all arrived...just a few days before the "tournament" could start," Master Hand explained. "We had to make everything quick so yeah."

"We didn't even get a chance to see the stages to fight in our matches." Yoshi said.

"...Oh!" Master Hand moved up a little. "I forgot! Chris! You did it!"

"Yes! I did...what exactly?" Chris asked confused.

"Look around!" Master Hand looked at the Smashers. "You've gathered the good guy-"

"CoughWolfcough." Falco coughed as Wolf glared at him.

"Good guys at last! That only means something..."

"...You're going to show us the stages we're going to fight in?" Pit asked.

"...Okay, stop telling everyone what I think," Master Hand said annoyed. "So, anyway... Congratulations! Chris! You gathered all the good guys back!"

Confetti and balloons began to fall down from the ceiling around Chris as the Smashers looked at him (with odd looks, probably for the confetti).

"...Do I get something?" Chris asked.

"Yes. We can now visit the 41 stages that are ready to be used and start the matches that you wanted so badly!"

"...Super awesome announcement so far..." Ness muttered with a shocked look.

"...Finally..." Link looked at Marth. "We can clash swords again."

"...You mean we can do some kind of tour and see each one, one by one?" Chris asked.

"Yup," Master Hand nodded. "We'll make a tour around them so you get the chance to know the terrain."

"...Hmm..." Chris wondered.

"...I want to visit Spear Pillar..." Lucario muttered.

"And another thing," Master Hand raised his index finger. "Since you managed to gather everyone, a new and special accessory is going to be available after we get to know the stages you're going to fight in."

"What item could that be?" Yoshi asked.

"Let me read his mind." Mewtwo said.

"Oh no!" Master Hand interrupted. "I locked my mind from you, mind stalkers!" the hand pointed at Mewtwo, Ness, Lucas and Lucario.

"Way to ruin the fun." Ness said.

"Shut up, you! You don't even use your psychic abilities that much!"

"...You do have a point there... Maybe I should start using them more..."

"W-wait, since I'm a Smasher...d-does that mean I have to fight everyone some time?" Chris asked sweating.

"We have a schedule," Master Hand took a paper. "Everyone follows the schedule for the matches. You won't escape out from this one. Sorry, tourney regulations and all that."

"Yes! We could spar sometime then!" DK said cracking his fists.

"S-spar?! W-with you?!" Chris asked shocked.

"Why the shocked face? You can change powers all the times you want. You have an advantage on me."

"Actually," Master Hand interrupted. "Chris can only choose a job in our official matches so he doesn't cheat."

"But he screws up sometimes...or a lot." Roy said.

"...THANK YOU, ROY, I know you're a friend now." Chris said sarcastically.

"S-sorry."

"I can hardly wait to announce, "THE WINNER IS...CHRIS!" when that time comes." Master Hand said.

"I thought you contracted an announcer that we're not allowed to meet in person." Jigglypuff said.

"I did, or I didn't."

Chris noticed that some of the Smashers were staring at him. "...W-why are you all looking at me with those faces?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Pikachu smirked rather evily as his cheeks let out sparks. "Just can't wait to KO you in a match."

"..." Chris looked at Pichu. "Y-you too?!"

"I won't run away this time," Pichu said in a dark tone. "You will lose this time."

The World Traveler backed away from both Pokémon and looked back. "...Oh no..."

"Heh," Wolf smirked. "Can't wait to annihilate you and Fox either."

"...Oh, come on!" Chris said annoyed as he looked away. "You too?!"

"Don't worry, think of this as a "friendly spar" between friends." Fox said grinning...rather evily, along with a chuckle.

"...When he says friendly spar, he means match to the death." Link whispered, which made Chris gulp.

"So no more recruits! We're complete!" Master Hand said, ignoring the conversations.

"W-wait, aren't we missing Mr. Game & Wa-" Luigi was interrupted.

"But! Since we've been doing so many things today." Master Hand said.

"And "we" doesn't include you that much." Pikachu pointed out.

"I'll let you guys get a good night's rest before tomorrow...and..." Master Hand shivered. "I-is it just me or is the climate getting a little bit colder today?"

"N-now that you mention it..." Lucas embraced himself. "I-it's getting a little bit cold in here..."

"Aw, don't worry about that," Master Hand said as he snapped his fingers and the heater turned on. "There, fresh hot air."

"C-c-c-c-c-c-c-can y-y-y-y-y-you increase it a l-l-l-l-l-l-little bit more?" Falco asked as he sneezed.

"If I do that, you'll end up burned."

"T-t-t-t-t-t-that's not so b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bad actually..."

"No," Master Hand pointed at him. "Serves you right for being a parrot."

"I-I-I-I'm a-"

"Enough!" Master Hand said. "You all need to sleep well tonight and see where the heck is the last Star Spirit!"

"...High above the clouds..." Geno muttered.

"It wasn't in the galaxies after all." Twink said.

"But...dangit..." Geno clenched his right fist. "Where could Kalmar be? If it's not in the galaxies, where is high above the clouds, then where?"

"Hmm..." Mallow rubbed his chin. "...The clouds in here?"

"..." Geno wondered.

"So, good night and don't make any disturbances or whatever you guys do here." Master Hand said, teleporting to his room with Crazy Hand.

Persona 3 - Want To Be Close

"...I have some things to discuss alone." Snake said before walking out.

"I bet he's going to his chatroom with his lovers." Popo said.

"Shut up before I twist your little neck again." Snake's voice was heard.

"Bed..." Chris said smiling happily. "We need to get together again."

"You mean me?" Lucario asked.

"I was talking about the bed! Weren't you listening?"

"Oh, my mistake." Lucario said with a nod.

"...Er..." Chris put his hands on his pockets. "Where is my DS?"

Red walked closer to him, but it seemed that he was hiding something from Chris. "Bulbasaur is 1, Ivysaur is 2, Venasaur is..."

"You give me back that!" Chris said as he snatched his DS back and looked at it. "...A-ha, you were going to study the Pokémon using my completed Pokedéx from LeafGreen!"

"I-I found that while we were in your room s-so I kind of...you know what I mean." Red said blushing embarrassed.

"...Red..."

"Y-yes?"

Chris took out a strategy guide of the complete Pokedéx guide with every Pokémon that he gave to Red. "Why steal something instead of asking me for the guide? It contains all the Pokémon and their moves. You can keep it until you know every single one of them."

"W-wow..." Red looked through all the pages. "T-there are so many Pokémon in here..."

"(And he is supposed to be a Pokémon Trainer. Cruel irony...cruel irony...)"

"T-thanks! I'm going to spend all the night studying this!" Red looked at the guide. "Solarbeam? Hmm..."

"I can do that." Ivysaur said.

"R-really?"

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you my moves."

"I have Hydro Pump," Squirtle put his hands on his hips (shell). "Much better than a beam of the sun."

Ivysaur glared at him. "I can beat you with my moves, I'm warning you."

"Pfft, I use Withdraw and things will change. What do you think, Red?"

"Deoxys seems good to have in my tea-" Red looked at his Pokémon who glared up at him. "I-I mean, yeah! Sure!"

The trio walked away to their room as Chris watched them walking away.

"...I think I like everyone here to accept what they are," Chris commented. "It's much easier to get conversations out of them. What do you think, Lucar-"

"Close Combat seems to be goo-" Lucario was holding another guide before he noticed Chris glaring at him. "W-what? C-Close Combat is a powerful move, don't you think so?"

"Either way," Chris took the guide back. "Your current moveset is fine with me."

"...Fine..." Lucario said disappointed.

"Um..." Peach began. "...I think Master Hand forgot to give us our moves, didn't he, Mario?"

"You're right..." Mario wondered. "Maybe we should ask him tomorrow."

"And in the meantime," Peach picked up her suitcases. "I'm going to make myself at home in my room."

"Me too." Mario said.

"I-I'm going too." Luigi said before the trio walked away.

"I'm just happy everyone got here at last." Chris said.

"W-what about Wari-"

"EVERYONE got here at last." Chris interrupted.

"I'm going to do some arrangements in my room as well," Samus said. "I'm going to prepare another Power Suit."

"Wait, I thought you only had one." Chris said confused.

"The Chozo gave me several copies should my suit be destroyed. I have some of them here and many more in my gunship."

C. Falcon seemed to snap his fingers at this as he walked away.

"Besides, I hate to be seen using the Zero Suit around."

"Oh well, whatever suits you is fine with me." Chris said.

"Thanks. Good night." Samus said before she walked away.

"...Chris...don't tell this to them but..." Lucario looked away.

"Yes?"

"Many took the strategy guides from your room when you weren't looking..."

"..." Chris looked at Kirby with something in his mouth. "Spit it out."

"Hmmmm." Kirby spat a guide of Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland.

"...What the heck...take it with you. After all, you at least deserve to know what happened in the game."

Kirby smiled and took the guide. "Thanks! I want to see how was my game here!"

"If you want, I can lend you my GBA and let you see for yourself. It's a pretty fun game."

"Really? Oh, thank you!" Kirby jumped to Chris and hugged him tightly.

"(MUST...RESIST...CUTENESS...)" Chris thought before Kirby walked away happily with the guide. "So, what do you think of your own game?" Chris asked to Link.

"I did know I could distract Ganondorf with the fishing rod..." Link shrugged. "But why? He isn't interested into fishing..."

"...Link...I only have one answer that you'll understand very well."

"What?"

"Beats me." Chris shrugged.

"I guess. You don't mind if I take this with me?" Link asked as he held the guide of Twilight Princess.

"Go ahead. You should explain everything to Zelda as well."

"Yeah, you're right. Well, good night." Link nodded and walked away.

"Just don't let her get all shocked!" Chris yelled before looking at the trio of Fire Emblem. "What do you guys think after finding the truth?"

"I'm even more confused than technology before." Ike said.

"I...think I am as well." Roy said embarrassed.

"To think our lifes were controlled from the real world all along... It's really shocking." Marth commented.

"I'm sorry for that," Chris looked down depressed. "I kept lying because I didn't want any kind of chaos."

"But we didn't...though we were kind of going to." Roy said.

"...At least I prevented it," Chris looked up. "I'm so happy everyone knows this. It took me a great weight out from my back."

"This made me realize something." Ike spoke up.

"What?"

"...I want to know more about my "videogame" or whatever the game is called."

"Videogame," Chris reassured him. "And I'll gladly tell you when we have the time."

"Thanks, I appreciate it." Ike said with a nod.

"While we're on that, could you explain to me more as well?" Roy asked.

"...It's going to be hard because..."

After a long explanation of some Fire Emblem games only in Japan...

"...Where's Japan though?" Marth asked.

"I'll tell you that later as well." Chris said before the trio walked away.

"Do you think you're going to make them addicts to their own videogames like you are?" Lucario asked.

"You know, it's pretty bad when you define me as addicted to videogame-"

"Do I have to remind you that you kept playing Final Fantasy X until 3:40 AM?"

"H-hey, it's not my fault Blitzball was so addicting once you obtain Wakka's World Champion."

"You mean before." Lucario corrected him.

"...Fine, I'm addicted. However, they won't turn like that, ever."

At that moment, Wolf walked to them with a grin.

"What's with you? You look kind of happy." Chris said.

"I wanted to ask you a favor." Wolf said.

"...Yes?"

"Fox and Falco both challenged me to another match at our game."

"(...The hell is wrong with them?) And?"

"I was wondering if you could bring that machine over here so I can kick their a(beep!) again."

"..." Chris remembered the 7 straight matches that the 3 had before, and all of them came out with Wolf being victorious. "...I'll think about it..."

"The faster, the better." Wolf said with a chuckle before walking away to his room, as an annoyed Fox followed with a sneezing and pale Falco.

"Aren't those 3 in their thirties and isn't Wolf a little bit older?" Chris asked.

"I remember you said age didn't matter in videogames." Lucario said.

"...I guess you're right," Chris looked down at Ness and Lucas. "What did you think?"

"That my videogame got lost somewhere." Ness said.

"Sorry, but I lost that game of yours and it's not on the VC yet."

"Meh, it's okay," Ness looked at Lucas. "Did you bother to find yours?"

"Lucas's game was released in Japan though."

"Japan?" Lucas asked.

"A place with funny language." Chris resumed.

"...Oh..." Lucas yawned. "I need to sleep now so...good night."

"G'nite." Ness said before walking away with Lucas.

Pikachu and Pichu jumped to Chris's shoulders. "Pokémon Master, Chris, remember well." Pikachu said with a wink.

"Be my traine-I mean, Pokémon Master." Pichu repeated.

"...Fine! I'll think about that too!" Chris said annoyed.

"Sweet! If you need help catching Articuno, give me a call." Pikachu said before walking away with Pichu.

"Can I play Mario Kart again?" Yoshi asked.

"...Sure, when I have the time?" Chris responded.

"Thanks. I enjoyed that game so much." Yoshi said before walking away.

Chris chuckled. "You know, this is more fun to explain."

Lucario smiled a little. "Before you know it, everyone is going to have a DS."

"Then we're going to trade Pokémon like crazy all the day." Chris chuckled.

"..." Olimar looked down depressed as he walked to the 2. "...Louie did eat the..."

"...I told you, but you didn't want to believe me." Chris said.

"...It's okay..." Olimar looked up as a Red Pikmin stood close to him. "Thanks to him, I got to see my Pikmins again."

Chris thought for a moment. "In a way...yes, he made you go back to reunite with your Pikmins again."

Olimar nodded. "So, I think I'm going to say thanks to him."

"When you have the time, right?"

"Of course," Olimar began to walk away. "Good night, and thank you for showing me the world where you came from."

"Y-yes! I'll show you more around some time!" Chris said a little excited.

"Hey," Sonic called from behind the World Traveler. "I wanna see more of the real world."

"If you mean by going outside, then no." Lucario said.

"Aw, c'mon! Nobody will see me at all! You know nobody in Chris's world didn't find me when they wanted my help, right?"

"...Well, those crazy fans of yours never found you so..." Chris wondered for a bit.

[jnfs2014]

Cool.....video game characters playing their video games....and a backstory of the SSE.
