> Super Smash Bros. The RPG > by FandomPlays1234 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The Cartridge > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful winter morning and Fandom was excited as ever. Today was the first day he was home alone while his parents were on their business trip to Russia. He was lucky enough to have parents who trusted him enough to have friends over while they were gone. He had a lot planned for the next six days and couldn't wait. Having a party with his friends was exciting enough, but there was one activity he was really looking forward to. Super Smash Bros. He had just recently got a Nintendo Switch for his birthday and one of his friend had gotten him an extra copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to celebrate. "Finally after so long, I can't wait to start playing," squealed Fandom. He walked down for breakfast when his phone rang. He picked up and placed the receiver to his ears. "Hello?" "Hi honey!" cooed a woman's voice. "Hi mom," said Fandom. "How are you doing, everything ok?" asked his mom. "Yes mom, everything's fine," answered Fandom. "Hey bucko, you didn't burn down the house did you?" joked his Dad. "Yes dad, house is still standing," answered Fandom. "What about you two, make it to the airport?" asked Fandom. "Yes honey," answered his mom. "By the way we wanted to remind you that today is garbage day," "Oh yeah, almost forgot," said Fandom slapping his forehead. "Well get to it bucko, and try not to break anything," said his dad. "Yeah, you two be careful too," said Fandom. 'We will, love you," said his mom. "Love you too," said Fandom. He hung up and walked over to the kitchen to grab the trash bag. He quickly ran around the house collecting every trash from their waste baskets. Once he gathered the trash from the final basket, he tied up the bag and walked out. Being cautious not to slip on the ice, he carried the trash bag to the trashcan. "Looks like the snow plow already came by," said Fandom looking at the cleared road. he opened the trash can's lid and was about to throw in the bag when he noticed something. 'Hmm what's that?" He placed the bag down and pulled out a small cartridge from the can. Examining the cartridge, he could see that it was for the switch. The strange thing was there was no illustration like all the other cartridges. "Strange," He looked up as the trash truck rolled up near his house. "Oh morning Fandom!" said the trash collector. "Morning Davey," said Fandom. He had known Davey ever since he moved to this neighborhood. 'You got any trash for me buddy?" asked Davey. "Oh yeah here," said Fandom handing him the trash bag. "Thank you," said Davey taking the bag. He threw the bag into the back of the truck then looked back at Fandom. "Oh what you got there?" he asked. "I don't know, some sort of cartridge, found it in my trash," answered Fandom. "Somebody probably threw it in there," suggested Davey. "Yeah I guess, you wouldn't mind if I keep it would you?" asked Fandom. Davey shrugged. "Say hi to your parents for me," said Davey banging the side of the truck. "Will do," said Fandom. He watched as Davey followed the truck to the next house. Fandom walked back in holding the cartridge. He cleared the dust off the cartridge and inserted it into the switch. "Pfft, like the hell it would work," said Fandom turning on the switch. The screen lit up as the menu popped up as usual. "Yeah knew it," said Fandom. he was about to turn off the switch when a title suddenly appeared to the left. "Super Smash Bros?" Fandom asked himself. 'Well how convenient, Smash for the switch," laughed Fandom. "But wait it doesn't say Ultimate strange," ignoring the change he selected the game. Strangely, the first thing that popped up was Mario defeating Master Core. Fandom remembered that Master Core was the enemy on the Wii U and 3DS version, so why was this on the switch? Before Fandom could ask any questions an error popped up stating the game crashed. "Pfft knew it," he reluctantly turned off the switch and placed it down. he was about to head over to the kitchen when the screen began glowing. He slowly turned around as familiar white hand slowly crawled out of the switch. "What the Master Hand!?" Fandom gasped. Once the villain finally emerged from the switch he turned towards Fandom and pointed. "You!" he boomed. "Me?!" yelped Fandom. "You are the one!" Master Hand boomed. "What the hell does that mean!?" asked Fandom. "You are the chosen one!" answered Master Hand. "Chosen one for what!?" asked Fandom. "Don't ask, just come," said Master Hand. 'Wait what!?" yelped Fandom. But before Fandom could ask anymore questions, Master Hand slowly reached for him. Panicking, Fandom scrambled to his feet and tried to run, but Master Hand plucked him off the ground and began dragging him back into the switch. "Wait hold on I didn't agree to this!" Fandom screamed as he was dragged in. "What the hell, where am I?" he asked. Looking around he found himself in a completely black void. "Guess I should walk around to see if I can find a way out," Fandom said standing up. He was about to start walking when the area lit up. "Wha who did that?" Suddenly, the theme from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate began playing as the Super Smash Bros logo appeared in front of him. "Wait a minute, am I in the game!?" gasped Fandom. "Super Smash Bros!!!" the announcer beamed from overhead. 'Wait just Super Smash bros?" Fandom asked himself. "Press Start to begin," said the announcer. Fandom looked in front of him to see Press Start flashing in front of him. Cautiously Fandom raised his hand and pushed the flashing words. The words disappeared and was replaced by a small black text box. Please spell out your name "My name?" Fandom asked. He looked below the text box as a transparent keypad appeared. Hesitating, Fandom began spelling out his name then hit ok. Welcome Fandom Suddenly the floor beneath Fandom opened up as a portal materialized. 'Wait what?!" Fandom gasped. Before he knew it, he sank into the ground and disappeared. > Chapter 1: Dystopian Ingress > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom slowly rolled out of the bush he landed on after he fell from the sky. Out of the sky, seriously couldn't this game just spawn him somewhere near bodies of water? Shaking the thoughts out of his head he brushed off the last bit of leaves off of himself. "Never trusting this game again," Fandom groaned. He pulled one last twig out of his hair and began looking around his surroundings. "Shit this forest is scarier than the sky itself," cursed Fandom. He quickly turned around as the sound of twigs snapping caught his attention. Standing there was young girl. She was wearing a white bardot dress with a blue gem at the neck of her dress. Two fox ears were sticking out of her silky blonde hair. She stared back at Fandom with her brown eyes. "Um hi there," Fandom took a step forward only for the young girl to step back and draw her sword. 'Whoa, whoa calm down I didn't mean to scare you," said Fandom holding his hands up in surrender. "Who are you, what are you doing here?" she growled. "Well I don't know," answered Fandom. "You don't know?" asked the girl. "I mean, I fell out of the sky if that's the answer you're looking for," said Fandom. The girl looked above his head and gasped. "What?" asked Fandom. She looked back at him and lowered her sword. "Are you, a player by any chance?" asked the girl. "I mean I WAS dragged into my Nintendo switch by Master Hand so yes I suppose?" Fandom answered nervously. "Master Hand?" asked the girl. "Well Master Hands is this giant hand and...." Fandom began. But he was suddenly cut off by the girl. "I know who he is, what I want to know is if you're part of the Subspace Empire," said the girl. "You mean the Subspace Army?" corrected Fandom. "No the Subspace Empire, the Subspace Army was before," said the girl. "No, I didn't even know that the Subspace Army was revived," said Fandom. The girl grew silent and closed lowered her head. "Um miss?" "Shh," she hushed. Fandom immediately stopped talking and listened. When no other sounds could be detected the girl sighed and returned her sword to her to her scabbard. "Looks like we're safe for now," said the girl. Fandom looked towards the girl and noticed that her glare was replaced by a warm smile. "Sorry about that, shouldn't have assumed you were an enemy," apologized the girl. "It's fine," said Fandom. "I'm Reiko nice to meet you," said the girl holding out her hand. "Fandom," said Fandom shaking her hand. "Hmm interesting name for a human," said Reiko. "What?" asked Fandom. "Sorry, guess I should've explained, I'm a Kitsune," said Reiko. "I'm sorry a what?" asked Fandom. "It means fox in Japanese," explained Reiko. "As for my name it means Gratitude or thankful child," 'Well the more you learn right?" said Fandom. "Aww such a cutie," Reiko giggled. "Wait what?" Fandom yelped blushing. "I'm joking," Reiko burst out laughing as she smacked him on the arm. Fandom stared at her as thoughts began flying through his head. Reiko wiped away a drop of tear as she caught her breath. At that moment, voices could be heard coming in their direction. "You hear that?" asked one of the voices. "It came from this way, let's check it out," said a second voice. "Um Reiko I think someone's coming," said Fandom. "What?" asked Reiko. Sure enough the voices grew louder as the footsteps came closer. "Shoot we can't stay here," said Reiko. "Come on we have to get out of here," said Reiko grabbing his hand. 'Wait what?" asked Fandom. She didn't bother answering as she began dragging him out of the forest as they ran. They didn't bother looking behind them and before he knew it they were out of the forest. Fandom looked examined his surroundings and saw that the hills and flowers still had their colors but was outdone by the purple light that shined down from the purple moon that hung in the sky. Dark clouds had covered the skies making the everything look gloomy. Reiko continued to drag Fandom down the hill towards a small village that appeared at the bottom. Once they reached the bottom, Reiko let go of his hand and led him into the village. "Well now that we're safe I should probably take you to our leader," said Reiko. "What?" asked Fandom. "Just follow me," said Reiko. She began walking leaving Fandom no choice but to follow behind. As he walked through the village, he was greeted by multiple eyes from the residence. He was eventually led to a small building where two kitsune stood guard at the entrance. "Reiko back so soon?" asked one of the guards. "Yes and I brought a guest," answered Reiko. "A human?!" gasped the second guard. "Yes, but don't worry he's a player," said Reiko. "A player, then that means.." stuttered the first guard. "Yes, he could be the one," answered Reiko. Fandom looked at her with a confused look. Master Hand had said something similar that he was the chosen one. He didn't know what that meant but maybe he was finally going to get some answers. He continued to follow Reiko into the building and to a small room where a single kitsune sat across from them. Multiple kitsune sat around the room forming circle. "Reiko you returned pretty early today," said the kitsune sitting across from them. "Sir I may have found him," said Reiko. "Found who?" asked one of the kitsune. "The player we're looking for," answered Reiko. The kitsune sitting in the circle gasped. However their leader just nodded. "Let me see him," he ordered. Reiko stepped out of the way revealing Fandom who was still standing behind her. The kitsune all gasped. 'This is player?' asked their leader. "Yes, or I think he is," answered Reiko. Their leader nodded and looked at Fandom. "Come closer will you," he said. Fandom looked at Reiko who smiled and nodded. Swallowing hard Fandom stepped forward and got to his knees. The leader stared at him with green eyes for at least 3 minutes before smiling. "Yes, it's no doubt you are the one we were looking for," "Excuse me?" asked Fandom. "Oh please excuse my rudeness, I am Emperor Sakaki," said the kitsune. "It's an honor getting to meet the one from the legends," 'I'm sorry what?' asked Fandom. "Sir, he hasn't heard the full story," said Reiko. "Ah I see, well then it makes sense that this young one is confused," said Sakaki. "I'm sorry for being rude, but I'm only 17 sir," corrected Fandom. "Well then a newborn!" gasped Sakaki. "I beg your pardon?" asked Fandom. "Oh right you haven't met our kind have you?" asked Reiko. Fandom shook his head. "Well this might sound surprising but our kind actually lives up to at least 1,000 year old, so that would make you a newborn from our perspective," said Reiko. Fandom stared at Reiko with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Well putting all that aside, I suppose I should explain," said Sakaki. "However it IS a lot of information so I want to ask if you're ready," "What... oh uh yeah I'm ready," answered Fandom snapping back into reality. "Alright, so before we get into any of this I should welcome you to Ingress," said Sakaki. "Ingress?" asked Fandom. "Ingress, as in entry or entryway?" "That's right, Ingress is also known as the gateway to dimensions," explained Sakaki. "It used to be a world filled with light, nature and beauty contaminated this world with life and everyday was filled with excitement and adventure," "But it didn't look like that, everything was dark and gloomy," said Fandom. "That's because of Origin and the Subspace Empire," answered Sakaki. "Origin?" asked Fandom. "Origin is a terrible tyrant that aims to take Ingress for himself," explained Reiko. "What why?' asked Fandom. "I've mentioned just now that Ingress is also called the gateway to dimensions correct?" asked Sakaki. Fandom nodded. "That's part of the world's secret that we planned to have kept to ourselves," "There are large gates that are located here in Ingress that connects our world to many other dimensions, they were supposed to be locked so that nobody could come in or enter the other dimensions, but Origin found the keys that kept these gates closed and unlocked them," said Reiko. "Origin wants to conquer many worlds as possible and he believes he can use Ingress's gates to do that, he just needs to take control of the gates and that way he can open and control them at his own free will allowing him to invade these worlds," explained Sakaki. "And I assume he's already done that," said Fandom. "He's built himself an army as well as convincing the villains of these worlds to sign a contract offering up an alliance with his cause," said Reiko. "He's and his Subspace Empire has already annexed several worlds and has brought them under his control, but he doesn't plan to stop there," said Sakaki. "He's going to continue attacking different worlds!?" gasped Fandom. "We tried to stop him, but he's grown too powerful already, nobody can stop him," said a kitsune. Fandom looked down and clenched his fists. So many worlds has already fallen under the control of this evil tyrant and still that wasn't enough, he couldn't forgive such a monster to exist. "But there's still hope, with you by our side we can surely stand up to Origin and his army," said Sakaki. "But why me of all people?" asked Fandom. "There was a legend of a player who defeated the Subspace Army many years ago," answered Sakaki. "Wait, please wait I hate to interrupt but please wait," said Fandom. "Is something the matter?" asked Sakaki. "I'm afraid that you've made a misunderstanding, I didn't stop the Subspace Army, that was multiple video game characters that united under one cause to rebel against Tabuu," said Fandom. "Yes it was indeed video game characters that stopped the Subspace Army," said Sakaki. "However a video game character can't control it's actions unless a player is the one giving it orders," Fandom stopped. He was right, sure Mario and his friends are the one that defeated Tabuu but it was HIM that was playing the game. He was the one controlling the characters. "It seems you understand now," said Sakaki. "Yeah, but there were a lot of other players who played that game, why me?" asked Fandom. "We don't know either, but you were lucky enough to be the one to save not just our world, but everyone else's as well, we just one thing," said Sakaki. "What is it?" asked Fandom. Sakaki didn't respond but looked at him with a warm smile. Realizing what he wanted he looked at Reiko. She nodded. He looked down. He didn't know why he was chosen but he couldn't turn down Sakaki's request when this world was in trouble. This world and all the other worlds had been suffering from Origin's evil rule for too long, he couldn't just walk away knowing that these creatures were gonna have to wait another 100 years or so just to find another player to take his place. "Alright I'll do it," said Fandom. Sakaki smiled as the room erupted with cheers. "Thank you," said Sakaki. "So where do I begin?' asked Fandom. "You came into this world without any knowledge of what you were doing, therefore I'll ask Reiko to show you the basics," said Sakaki. "Reiko I'm counting on you," "Yes sir," said Reiko. "Oh and don't forget to give him his gift," said Sakai. "Yes sir," said Reiko. "Well then Fandom, everyone is counting on you," said Sakaki. Fandom saluted as he followed Reiko out. This was it. Either this was a dream come true or his worst nightmare. Whatever it is he was going to find out. > Chapter 2: Newcomer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Welcome to the training field," said Reiko stopping in the middle of a ring. Fandom walked in followed by two kitsune guards, one of them holding a mysterious box. "Seems pretty small," said Fandom. "Yet it's the one of the many places our troops like to train," said Reiko smiling. "I'll get used to it," said Fandom. "So where do we start?" "Do you know how RPGs work?" asked Reiko. Fandom nodded. "Well then looks like I don't have to explain much," "Really?" asked Fandom. "There is however something our Emperor wants me to give you," said Reiko. She snapped her fingers as the guard holding the box walked next to her. She took the box and held it out towards him. "Every warrior needs a weapon," Fandom stepped forward and opened the box to find two large golden crosses with blue jewels centered in the middle of both. Strange green light could be seen inside the crosses. "Am I killing vampires or something?" asked Fandom. "This is called the Cross Boomerang," answered Reiko. "This?" asked Fandom. "And it don't look like no boomerang to me," "It's called this because it's a set," answered Reiko. "The way this work is you throw both crosses which will then strike any opponents in a X formation," explained Reiko. "However the best part is that once thrown, he crosses spin around and return to it's owner while striking the enemy in another X formation on the way back," "So it's a boomerang that hit's 4 times?" asked Fandom. Reiko nodded. "The light you see in the crosses are used to scan it's master's presence," said Reiko. "The one who made this forged it out of magic and metal so that whoever was chosen to be the legendary hero would be able to use this to their own free will," "And that hero was me," said Fandom. "Yes, however it's not just a boomerang, it can be used as other forms of weapons," said Reiko. "Really?" asked Fandom. "Allow me to demonstrate," said Reiko. Twilight quickly ran behind the castle's pillars as several Primids walked by looking in all directions for the intruder. For the past week strange things had been taking place all over Equestria. Someone for some reason whatsoever, had freed or resurected the villains she and her friends had defeated in the past. Tirek, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Mane-iac, and even the Storm King. But what was even weirder was the fact they were all working together and taking orders from an unknown individual. Not only that but strange creatures had invaded Equestria and now Twilight was the only one who hadn't been captured. She looked out from behind the pillar to see the Primids were still there. She figured that teleporting out of there was the best bet when she heard footsteps. She could hear the footsteps stop as two figures started talking. "Did you find her yet?" asked the first figure. The Primids responded with a deep gurgling sound. "Tch she's a fast one I tell ya," said the second figure. "Calm yourself Bowser," said the first figure. "How could I Sakura?" growled the second figure. "For the last time it's Sakuya, Sakuya Izayoi!" hissed the second figure. "Whatever," snorted Bowser. "Listen I know it's frustrating but trust me, Lord Origin never goes back on his word," said Sakuya. "How would YOU know that, I've only known this guy for two weeks," growled Bowser. "And I've known him for a month," said Sakuya. "Why you, I outta strangle you right now!" roared Bowser. Twilight flinched as the sound of a loud smack rang out from behind. "Enough, standing here bickering isn't going to get us anywhere!" hissed Sakuya. "Agreed," Bowser growled. "Alright you know the deal get to it!" The Primids responded with a gurgling sound as they all split up. "Come on," said Sakuya. Twilight could hear Bowser grumbling as he stomped away with Sakuya. 'Alright now's my chance," said Twilight. Fandom watched as the cross came flying back into his left hand for the fifth time in a row. "hey I'm getting pretty good at this don't ya think?" asked Fandom. "Absolutely, I knew I knew you were the right person," said Reiko clapping. "And since I know how RPGs work I shouldn't have trouble in battle right?" asked Fandom. "I think you already know the answer to that," answered Reiko. "Sorry to interrupt miss Reiko," a guard spoke up. The two turned their attention towards the kitsune. "We seem to have an unwanted guest," Reiko and Fandom looked at each other and nodded. "Where are they?" asked Reiko. "Some of our patrols captured her and she's currently meeting with the emperor," answered the guard. "Alright we'll head over there immediately," said Reiko. The guard saluted and let the ring. "Let's go," Fandom nodded as he followed her out. The two hurried back to the emperors room where they found a purple unicorn with wings being watched over by two guards. "Ah you made it," said Sakaki. "We heard about this unwanted guest," said Fandom. Sakaki looked over to the pony who was nervously watching them. "That's her?' asked Reiko. "Yes, according to villagers, they say she just appeared out of nowhere," answered Sakaki. Fandom looked over and noticed a green marker over her head. "Wait," said Fandom. Everyone looked towards Fandom. "You're majesty doesn't a green marker mean friend in an RPG?" asked Fandom. "Yes," answered Sakaki. "Why do you ask. "In that case," Fandom said smiling. "Guards release her!" Fandom ordered. "What?!" gasped the kitsunes. "The Emperor says that a character with a green marker means friend," said Fandom. "This pony has a green marker over her head," "What how can you tell?" asked Reiko. "I'm the legendary player remember, I can see who's friend or foe," answered Fandom. "Well if he says she's safe then I suppose we can let her go," said Sakaki. The guards hesitated and looked over to Fandom who nodded his head. Deciding to trust him, they cut off the ropes bounding the pony. "Thank you so much," said the pony. "Anytime," said Fandom. "I'm Twilight Sparkle," said the pony holding out her hoof. "Fandom," said Fandom shaking her hoof. "And that's Reiko," said Fandom pointing to her. "Hello," said Reiko waving her hand. "Say Twilight how did you get here?" asked Fandom. So Fandom, Reiko, and everyone else in the room listened to twilight as she explained her situation back in Equestria. "Sir isn't that?" asked one kitsune. "Yes, it's no doubt that Origin has already annexed this pony's world," Sakaki answered seriously. "Well I suppose that's where I'll start," said Fandom. "Whoa hold it are you ready?" asked Sakaki. "Definitely," answered Fandom. "I must say, I'm impressed at how quick he got used to his new gift," said Reiko. "I see, and it appears he knows a lot about RPGs so I guess that's good news for us," said Sakaki. "Well then I'm off," said Fandom. "Now hold on, who said you were going alone?" asked Sakaki. "What do you mean sir?" asked Fandom. "Well first off, you don't know where the gate that leads to her world is do you?" asked Sakaki. Everyone looked at him waiting for a response. Fandom blushed and looked down. "No sir I don't," answered Fandom. "Well then I suppose she could go with you," said Sakaki. "I'm counting on you Reiko," Reiko bowed before Sakaki and turned to face Fandom. "Well nice knowing you," said Reiko holding out her hand. "Try to keep up alright?' asked Fandom shaking her hand. Suddenly the environment around Fandom froze as several large words appeared next to Reiko followed by a smacking sound effect. Newcomer Reiko Enters the Friend Zone! "Nice this game has splash screens," said Fandom. The words disappeared as the environment began to move again. At that moment catchy music began to play as a text box appeared in front of Fandom. Reiko joined your party! "Well we're officially a party now," said Reiko smiling. "What about you Twilight?" asked Fandom. "I suppose it's better to stick with you guys," said Twilight holding out her hoof. Smiling, Fandom took her hoof as the environment froze and her splash screen played out. Newcomer Twilight Sparkle Reporting for Duty! "Can't tell if that's going to get old," Fandom mumbled to himself. The splash screen disappeared as the catchy music began to play with another text box appearing in front of him. Twilight Sparkle joined your party! "Welcome Twilight," said Reiko. "Thanks," said Twilight. "Well now that you've formed you're party, you should get going," said Sakaki. "Reiko should know where the gate is, but I suggest you visit Doctor Mension first," 'Who?" asked Fandom. "Doctor Mension is the professor that's studying worlds, but most of us just call him D. Mension," answered Reiko. "Sweet Celestia, does everyone here have strange names?" asked Twilight. "Not everyone, but enough talk, let's get going," said Reiko. Twilight and Fandom nodded their heads in agreement. The three said their goodbyes as they left the building. Now with his new skills and party, Fandom was about to start the adventure of his life. > Chapter 3: Reclaim! The Crystal Empire > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well here we are," said Reiko. The place that the group stopped by was a small lab not too far from the village. Fandom walked up to the door and knocked. After 10 seconds the door opened as a kitsune wearing a lab coat appeared at the door. "Hi you must be Doctor Mension," said Fandom. "Or D. Mension, whatever's easy," said the kitsune. "Is there something you need?" Fandom quickly explained their situation as a brief summery. "I see and you want to know the quickest way to the gate?" asked D. Mension. "Yes sir," answered Fandom. "Well actually I think it was a bad idea, but all the gates are actually in the same place as one another," said D. Mension. "What, you didn't tell me that Reiko," said Fandom turning around. "It's not, there must be some sort of mistake," said Reiko. "Afraid not missy, after Origin took over the the worlds, he wanted the gates to be close to each other so he doesn't have to risk losing members of his army every time he moves to a new gate," explained D. Mension. "That damn bastard," cursed Reiko. "Now if you want the quickest route to the gate, just go to gateway plaza, it shouldn't be too far from here," said D. Mension. "Just go over that big hill and you should be able to see it almost immediately," "Thank you," said Fandom. "Anytime legendary hero," said D. Mension. "If you have any other questions just ask me," "We'll take you upon that offer," said Fandom. D. Mension smiled as he walked back into the lab closing the door behind him. "Alright team let's go," said Fandom. Twilight and Reiko nodded. The three quickly made their way to the gate plaza and arrived there a lot faster then they imagined. "Whoa," said Fandom looking up at the large gates. "Amazing isn't it?" asked Reiko "I was quite surprised to see them for myself to first time as well," "Really?" asked Twilight. "Wouldn't everyone be?" asked Reiko. Fandom looked above each to see which gate led to Equestria. "There," said Fandom pointing towards the gate on the very left. "That's where we need to go," Both Twilight and Reiko nodded their heads as they followed Fandom through the gate. Fandom walked out and found himself in a small city covered with crystals. "Whoa," said Fandom. Reiko and Twilight followed him out and checked out their surroundings. "This is!" Twilight gasped. "Are those crystals?" asked Reiko. "Yes, this place is called the Crystal Empire, one of the major cities in Equestria," answered Twilight. "But it looks so dark," said Fandom. "It looks like Origin did some remodeling of this place," said Reiko. "There's black crystals everywhere!" Fandom walked up to a towering black crystal that was sprouting from the ground. He pulled a loose chunk off and examined it. "This is Obsidian!" gasped Fandom. "A what?" asked Reiko. "Obsidian, a type of gemstone found back in my world, it's not something you would find just lying around," explained Fandom. "Guys we've got company," said Reiko. Twilight and Fandom turned around to find themselves surrounded by Primids. "Damn already," cursed Fandom. "Guys get close to me, I have an idea," said Twilight Fandom and Reiko followed her advice and gathered around her. Twilight closed her eyes as her horn began to glow. Before the Primids could attack the three teleported out of the area. Fandom and Reiko opened their eyes to find themselves closer to the castle they saw just a little while ago. Twilight had teleported them closer to the castle. "So are we going in there asked Reiko. Twilight nodded. Reiko was about to step out from behind the pillar they were hiding behind when Fandom stopped them. "What?" asked Reiko. "There," said Fandom pointing towards the entrance. The two looked over and saw four Scope Primids guarding the entrance along with three Skuttler Cannoneers and two Chain Chomps. "You've gotta be kidding me," said Reiko. "How the hell are going to get in?" "Well in a RPG you would normally battle the enemies to enter a new area," answered Fandom. "That's probably not a good idea," said Twilight. "What you have a better plan?" asked Fandom. "I would've teleported us in the castle, but it seems like there's some sort of dark magic that prevented me from doing that," answered Twilight. "Crap the Subspace Army really bumped up their game," said Fandom. "Actually I've been wanting to try something for a while," said Reiko. "What?" asked Fandom. Reiko began rummaging through her bag and pulled out a brown wand. "Wait I thought you used a sword," said a Fandom. "Just because I use a sword doesn't mean I can't use magic either," laughed Reiko. She began rummaging through her bag a pulled out a leather spell book and quickly flipped through the pages. "Here it is, a spell on becoming invisible," "Great idea Reiko," said Twilight. Smiling, Reiko waved her wand and read the spell off the book. Within moments Fandom, Twilight, and Reiko had turned completely invisible. "Alright before we head in, be careful not to bump into the guards, they may not be able to see us, but they can still feel us if we touched them," warned Reiko. Fandom and Twilight nodded and soon the three slowly began moving towards the doors. Somehow the three had managed high enough without touching the guards and landed safely on the other side. Fandom slowly opened the door wide enough for the three of them to pass through and enter the castle unnoticed. "Alright, now what?" asked Fandom. "We should probably find a way to take back the Crystal Empire from Origin's control," suggested Reiko. "How?" asked Fandom. "Maybe if we head over to Princess Cadence's throne room, we'll find the one in charge of keeping things in check," suggested Twilight. "Lead the way Miss Sparkle," said Fandom. Twilight rolled her eyes as led the the two to Cadence's throne room. They eventually reached the door leading to the throne room and was lucky enough to find that no guards were keeping watch. Reiko's invisibility spell wore off as the three stood before the doors. "Ready?" asked Twilight. Fandom and Reiko nodded their heads. Twilight took a deep breath as she pushed the door open revealing the inside of the room. It was completely dark with only torches as the sources of light. Across from they were was an empty throne. Above the throne was the logo for the Subspace Empire. A circle with a single line coming out from the left side and only going halfway to the center. "Geez creepy," said Fandom. "And dark," added Reiko. "Twilight!" a voice spoke up. The three looked towards the left side of the room to see three cages hanging from the ceiling. "Cadence and big brother!" Twilight gasped. "And is that Thorax?" "Twilight, thank Celestia you're alright," said Cadence. "I'm here too," another voice spoke up. "Who's that?" asked Twilight. "It''s Thorax," answered Shining Armor. "Thorax!?" gasped Twilight. "Yes," answered the changeling. "hang on guy's we'll get you out!" Twilight called out to them. "No don't come here, just get out of here!" Cadence called out to her. "What why?" asked Twilight. At that moment the room started flashing red as an alarm rang out. The three looked up to see a large red text box. BOSS BATTLE "Already?" asked Fandom. Suddenly the flames on the torches lit up brighter until everything was visible. A loud roar erupted from above as something fell from the ceilings. "What the hell!?" yelped Fandom. Once the dust cleared, the three could see a large six legged robot standing before them. The robot had a pig snout imprinted on the underside with two glowing red lights. A single child was encased in a glass case in the center of the robot's body. Fandom looked above the robot as a single name appeared over a red health bar with a skull to the left. Porky "And I here I thought we were the one's eating pork," said Reiko. "No time for jokes," said Fandom pulling out his two crosses. "Our first boss battle!" Reiko drew her magic wand and her spell book as Twilight got into battle stance. "Let's beat this pig dead!" The three were immediately thrown into a battle against Porky. Three black text boxes appeared in front of the three. All three had been given four options. Fight, Items, Pass, Run. Fandom was the first to go. He hit fight as he was given only one options. Cross Boomerang. He raised both of his crosses and aimed.Fandom used Cross Boomerang. Fandom threw both crosses at the same time. The two crosses struck Porky twice and curved back striking him two more times on the way back. A -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. Switching places with Fandom, Reiko selected the fight option and was given two options. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage "Let's see if he can handle this," snickered Reiko pointing her wand at Porky. Reiko used Burst Barrage. Reiko waved her wand in a circle as six blue lights appeared around her. She pulled her arm back thrusted her wand forward as the six lights launched themselves into Porky and bursting. A -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. Reiko retreated as Twilight took her spot. "Ok so how do I do this?" asked Twilight. "Select fight and choose your option from there!" said Fandom. Twilight did as she was told and selected fight. She was also given only one option. Magic Blast Twilight pointed her horn at Porky and began charging only to find that this time around, it much easier to charge up an attack when normally it was pretty difficult. Twilight used Magic Blast. Twilight thrusted her horn forward as a blast of purple energy struck Porky in the chest. A -20 appeared over his head. "Did I do it?" asked Twilight. "Yeah, now switch out with me!" answered Fandom. Twilight quickly moved back as Fandom took her place. Another text box appeared before them. Player Turn Over Enemy Turn. Porky stepped forward and put two of his claws above his head as an electrifying orb appeared and shot out striking Fandom. A -50 appeared over his head as his HP bar shot down to half leaving it in the yellow range. "Half of my HP!?" yelped Fandom. Another text box appeared. Enemy Turn End Player Turn. "Alright that's how you wanna play it," growled Fandom. Cross Boomerang. Fandom lifted his two crosses and aimed. Fandom used Cross Boomerang The attack struck Porky four times as a -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. Reiko switched out with Fandom and repeated the procedure. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage. "Eat this!" exclaimed Reiko. Reiko used Burst Barrage The six lights struck Porky as a -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. This time though, electricity ran up and down his body as another text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed. "Sweet I got the paralysis effect on him!" "I guess that leaves him immobilized?" suggested Twilight. "Well what else could it be?" asked Fandom. Twilight shrugged as she swapped out with Reiko. Magic Blast Twilight pointed her horn at Porky as she began charging her attack. Twilight used Magic Blast. This time when the attack landed a -40 appeared over his head. "Wait why'd that do more?" asked Twilight. Her question was answered as another text box appeared. Double Damage Due to Status Effect. "Oh," Twilight swapped out with Fandom as another text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed and can't move. "Haha score!" beamed Fandom. Cross Boomerang Fandom used Cross Boomerang. A -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. "How do you like that Pork Chop!?" mocked Fandom. It was at this point that he knew, he fucked up. Porky suddenly began stomping it's six legs and let out an angry screech as red aura burst out of his body. Another text box appeared. Porky is angry, attack power doubled "Oh shit," Fandom cursed. "We'll have to clean this up quick," said Reiko switching out. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage Reiko used Burst Barrage. Reiko thrusted her wand forward as Porky was struck by more blue lights. -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. Reiko retreated as Twilight took her place. Magic Blast Twilight used Magic Blast The purple energy struck Porky this time as a -60 appeared over his head. "Now what?" asked Twilight. This time text boxes appeared. Double Damage Due to Status Effect Critical Hit!. "Can this get any better?" Twilight asked. She swapped out with Fandom as a third text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed. "Thank god," sighed Fandom. At that moment the electricity covering Porky disappeared as another text box appeared. Porky is cured of Paralysis "Fuck," cursed Fandom "You had to move you're big mouth didn't you?" Reiko asked as she face palmed herself. A bead of sweat rolled down Fandom's forehead as he selected the fight option. Cross Boomerang Fandom used Cross Boomerang. This time when the crosses were coming back, a loud screech rang out as the second cross struck Porky. A -100 Combo 4x appeared over his head. "Critical Hit?" Fandom suggested. Sure enough another text box appeared. Critical Hit!. "Pray to god you'll paralyze him again," said Fandom as he switched out. "Can't make promises," said Reiko. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage. Reiko used Burst Barrage. The six blue lights struck Porky cracking his glass case. -30 Combo 6x. As the fourth light struck Porky, the environment froze for a split second and started moving again followed by Porky's screech. The three watched as Porky flipped onto his head. A +1,000 appeared over their heads followed by a catchy jingle and three text boxes appearing in front of them. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 4 Atk: 18 Def: 18 HP: 180/180, HP fully restored!

EXP: 1,000 Gold: 600 "We did it!!!" cheered Twilight. "Good work team!" said Fandom. "Hey look," said Reiko. The two turned around to see the bottom of the cages open as Cadence, Shining Armor, and Thorax slowly descended to the ground. "Twilight!" Cadence exclaimed. Excited, twilight ran over to her and Shining and jumped into their hooves. Smiling, Fandom flicked his hand upward as he pulled up the menu. He selected Party Members as four slots appeared. The first three slots had been taken up him, Reiko, and Twilight but the fourth and final slot was still empty.

"You must be Fandom, we want to thank you for your hard work," said Cadence. "Oh no it may have been a little difficult but we managed to do it," said Fandom. "We heard everything from Twilight, you're going to save our world right?" asked Shining Armor. "In that case we ask that you head over to Canterlot next," "They're having the same problem as here right?" asked Reiko. "Yes, we know you just finished a tough battle with that thing so we hate to ask you to do anymore work for us," said Cadence. "Hey no worries, we're just what we can," said Fandom. "Thank you, surely you won't have too much trouble if you just level up," said Cadence. "I would like to thank you as well," said Thorax. "No problem," said Reiko. "I know the way to Canterlot," said Twilight. "If you're ready then we can head out," "We're ready anytime," said Fandom. With that the three said their goodbyes with Cadence, Shining Armor, and Thorax and prepared their trip to Canterlot. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 4: Saving Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dark clouds hung over Canterlot as members of the Subspace Empire continued patrolling Equestria's capital. Meanwhile in Celestia's throne room, a single hooded figure stood in front of pedestal where the reactor was set. The doors behind him as Bowser and Sakuya walked in followed by several Goombas, Koopas, and Primids. "You're late," said the figure. "Aye buddy do you know how long it takes to round up troops?" growled Bowser. "Knock it off Bowser," hissed Sakuya. "Look I don't care if it takes you 10 years to gather up our army, you should know better than to keep me waiting," growled the figure. "Tch, just because he's the commander, he thinks he can talk big," grumbled Bowser. Sakuya glared at him obviously not amused with his complaining. "Forgive us Commander Wrath, it won't happen again," said Sakuya. "It better not, otherwise you WILL feel my wrath," hissed the figure. "Anyways pushing that aside I've received new orders from Lord Origin regarding you two. "What is it sir?" asked Sakuya. "So far the other six commanders have felt strange disturbances within their world or so it has been said by Lord Origin himself," said Wrath. "The world of Smash, Anime, Television, Youtube, Deviantart, and Gaming?" asked Bowser. "Yes, apparently from the other six, they have said that the disturbance have been traced to this world," answered Wrath. "What?" Bowser and Sakuya gasped in unison. "It's baffling indeed, as a matter of fact the disturbance is right outside of this city," added Wrath. "Lord Origin has given you orders to halt the disturbance as soon as possible, they mustn't reach the reactor," "Understood," said Sakuya. "I'll crush whoever dares to interfere," growled Bowser. The two turned around and dashed out the door leaving Wrath to guard the reactor. "You won't get away with this," hissed a voice. "Oh we already have Princesses," laughed Wrath. The Cross hit the Primid in the back off the head as it returned to Fandom's hand. A +30 appeared over his head. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 5 Atk: 20 Def: 20 HP: 200/200, HP fully restored! You Win! EXP: 30 Gold: 60 "Well so much for grinding, that was too easy," said Fandom. "We all reached level 5 in no time!" cheered Twilight. "And we're almost there," said Reiko. "Come on, let's keep moving," said Fandom. The two followed after Fandom as they made their way to Celestia's castle. It wasn't long before they found themselves standing in front of the gates. "Well this is it," said Fandom. "You two ready?" The two shook their heads. "Alright let's head in," Just as the the three were about to enter, Twilight quickly grabbed the two with her magic and jumped back. "Twilight what are you doing?" asked Fandom. "I know you're there, show yourself!" Twilight growled. "Hmph impressive, I must say you are something if you can sense my presence that easily," chuckled a voice. Suddenly the gates opened as a young girl walked out from the entrance. She was wearing a maid's outfit and brown boots. Her grey hair flowed in the wind and her blue eyes shimmered under the purple moon. She stopped as the gates closed behind her. The three got into battle stance as a loud roar rang out throughout the area. The three looked up as a giant beast fell from the sky and landed near the girl. "Who are you?" asked Reiko. The girl smiled as she struck a pose. The environment froze as a splash screen flashed in front of them. Sakuya Izayoi Appears on Time! The splash screen vanished and the environment started moving again as two red health bars appeared under their names and over their heads. Two skulls appeared next to their health bar. "Bowser and Sakuya Izayoi?" asked Fandom. "They both have skulls next to their names," said Reiko. "Exactly, and don't you even think about going in," growled Bowser. Fandom drew his cross just as Reiko stopped him. "Don't worry, we'll handle them just get into the castle," said Reiko. "But I can't just leave you out here, and besides how am I going to get in?" asked Fandom. Reiko looked over at Twilight and nodded. Twilight hesitated but eventually nodded back. She closed her eyes as her horn began to glow. Suddenly Fandom found himself levitating off the ground as Twilight picked him up with her magic. Then with a grunt, she thrusted her horn upwards and sent Fandom flying over the gate and near the entrance catching both Bowser and Sakuya off guard. "Reiko!" Fandom called out to her. "Don't worry we'll be ok just go!" Reiko called out to him. Fandom wanted to oppose but he realized that they were serious. He didn't have time to argue and nodded. Reiko nodded back. Fandom turned around and ran into the castle. "Hey!" Bowser roared. A blast of purple energy flew past him and struck the wall. "You're opponent is us!" announced Twilight. Bowser growled as he Sakuya got into battle stance. Fandom quickly made his way through the castle dodging and avoiding enemies looking for Celestia's throne room. He remembered that Twilight had told him about a reactor that the enemy was guarding. If he could find and destroy the reactor then he could save the world. Twilight suspected that the reactor was in Celestia's throne room, and so that's where he needed to go. He continued searching and eventually came across two large doors. He stopped and looked on the map in the top right corner. A large red skull was inside the room behind the doors. Taking a deep breath he put his hands on the door and pushed them open. He ran inside a dark room lit by torches. Across from him was a hooded figure with his back turned. Over to the left side he could see two cages holding two unicorns with wings. One was white and the other was dark blue. On the side walls were banners with the Subspace Empire logo. "Hey!" Fandom called out. The figure turned around to face him as well as the two ponies. "Well, well what do we have here?" snickered the figure. "My name is Fandom as for you uh...." Fandom stuttered. "Who are you exactly?" "Hmph, right almost forgot I had to do introductions, very well," said the figure. He struck a pose as another splash screen flashed in front of him. Commander Wrath Unleashes his Fury! The splash screen disappeared as he walked down to his level. A red health bar appeared under his name and over his head, a skull next to his HP bar. "I would've expected those damn guards to fail at their duty, but for Bowser and Sakuya?" asked Wrath. "That's just pitiful," "Don't get cocky Subspace Scum, I've heard about the reactor you're protecting, if you think I'm going to stand by and let Origin rule this world then you're wrong," said Fandom drawing his Cross Boomerang. "So you're planning to interfere with Lord Origin's plans?" asked Wrath. "Fine, I'll crush you here and now," Wrath snapped his finger as the torches lit up the room and an alarm went off as a red text box flashed in front of Fandom. BOSS BATTLE! Fandom selected fight on his menu. Cross Boomerang Fandom raised and aimed his crosses. Fandom used Cross Boomerang A -2 Combo 4x appeared over Wrath's head. "What only 8 health points taken off!?" gasped Fandom. A text box appeared in front of Fandom. Player Turn End Enemy Turn "Good it's my turn," laughed Wrath. Red aura burst out of him as a black spear materialized into his left hand. He threw the spear into Fandom's chest. -160 appeared over his head. Fandom yelped as he fell to his knees. His eyes widened as his HP fell into the red zone. "What how did that do so much damage?" winced Fandom. "My name is Wrath, so every time I take damage, my attack power doubles," answered Wrath. "What!?" gasped Fandom. "Since you attacked me four times and each hit only took off 2 of my HP, that's 8 HP taken off," said Wrath. "My attacks takes off 20 HP from my enemies, if my attacks doubled from each time I take damage, that's a total of 160 HP off of your health bar," Fandom winced as he glared at Wrath. "Well what are you going to do?" asked Wrath. "You could throw only one of your crosses, but that would be enough to take you out," "Shit do I really have no choice but to run?" Fandom mumbled. "Looks like you're out of options, face it kid, those boomerang crosses can't do anything to me," said Wrath. That's when it hit him. Fandom looked over to the pedestal holding the reactor. A red HP bar was underneath the name. The reactor only had 40 HP. He could go for the risk but he didn't know how much his Cross Boomerang was going to do. But he knew that it be better to take a risk in case he came back. After all he went up to level 5, his Attack stat was 20 he should be able to beat that thing. "Alright fine," said Fandom. "Giving up?" asked Wrath. "No, not here," answered Fandom. He hit the fight option. Cross Boomerang. Fandom winced as he raised his crosses. "Well you wanna die so badly, fine so be it then," said Wrath. Fandom used Cross Boomerang Fandom threw the crosses but completely missing Wrath. "Hey kid I'm pretty sure I didn't hit you THAT hard, either that or you just have bad luck," said Wrath. "I wasn't aiming for you Scumbag," snickered Fandom. "What?" asked Wrath. The two crosses returned to Fandom's hands. He looked up and smirked as he watched the reactor's HP fall to 0. Wrath turned around as the reactor cracked and shattered. "No!" Wrath sneered. In the center where the reactor once sat was a small light that grew and erupted. Soon the dark room was once again filled with light. The light stretched out of the castle and the purple moon disappeared and was replaced by the sun. The dark clouds vanished and the blue sky returned. Everything that was once gloomy returned to it's beautiful colors as members of the Subspace Empire began running out of the city. Bowser and Sakuya who also noticed the change in environment glared at Twilight and Reiko and took off without a word. The gates disappeared and was replaced by a drawbridge that fell allowing Twilight and Reiko in. The two rushed in to meet up with Fandom. "Game Over Wrath," said Fandom. Wrath glared at him. But at that moment the cage holding the two ponies disappeared and the two ponies joined Fandom by his side. "Give up fiend!" hissed the blue pony. Wrath growled as he glared at Fandom. "This isn't the last time you'll hear from me!" hisses Wrath. He turned around as a black portal opened up behind him. The three watched as he disappeared into the portal. You Win! 0 EXP 0 Gold "Thank you young one," said the white pony. "No problem," said Fandom getting up. "I'm sorry I guess we haven't done the introductions have we?" asked Fandom. "No I suppose not," said the blue pony. The two quickly struck a pose as two more splash screens flashed in front of him. Newcomer! Princess Celestia Shines Down! Newcomer! Princess Luna Dreams On! The flash screens disappeared as the doors behind them opened up and Twilight and Reiko rushed in. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight beamed. "My faithful student," said Celestia nuzzling Twilight. "What happened?" asked Twilight. The two smiled and explained the events that unfolded in their throne room. "So this Wrath guy was the one protecting the reactor huh?" asked Reiko. "Man I've never met an enemy strong enough to take out most of my HP," said Fandom. "Surely he isn't the first Commander we're going to run into," said Reiko. "But at least he saved Equestria for us," said Luna. "Wait now that you mention, what's our next plan?" asked Fandom. "I guess we won't know unless we ask the emperor," answered Reiko. "Then let's go, I need a break," said Fandom. "Wait," said Twilight. The two turned around to face her. Twilight hesitated but it was clear she wanted to go with them. She looked up at Celestia who smiled and nodded. Smiling Twilight ran over to join them. "Glad to have you back," said Reiko. "Thanks," said Twilight. "Good luck you two," said Celestia. "if you ever need us, just let us know," said Luna. The three said their goodbyes as they left the castle. Now that Equestria was saved, who knows where they were headed next. Wherever it was, Fandom couldn't stop thinking about the exciting adventure waiting for them. Would you like to Save your Adventure? Yes No[ Saving Progress Saved/i] > Chapter 5: World of Anime > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom, Reiko, and Twilight were greeted by happy villagers as they walked out of the gate. Fandom waved towards the cheering crowd as they walked isle created by the villagers. "Exciting isn't it?" asked Reiko. "Maybe too exciting," laughed Twilight. The three were greeted by four guards who were waiting for them at the end of the isle. "We heard the news," said one of the guards. "Congratulations, you successfully liberated Equestria from Origin's forces!" "Come along, the emperor would like to reward you for your efforts," said a second guard. The three looked at each other and nodded. They followed the four escort guards back to the emperor as the villagers paraded behind them. As they walked back Fandom pulled up his party's stats. Fandom Lvl: 5 To Next Lvl: 1,000 EXP Atk: 18 Def: 18 HP: 200/200 Skills: Cross Boomerang Final Smash: None Reiko Lvl: 5 To Next Lvl: 1,000 EXP Atk: 18 Def: 18 HP: 200/200 Skills: Sword Strike, Burst Barrage Final Smash: None Twilight Sparkle Lvl: 5 To Next Lvl: 1,000 EXP Atk: 18 Def: 18 HP: 200/200 Skills: Magic Blast Final Smash: None "Could grind a little more," suggested Reiko looking over his shoulder. "You think?" asked Fandom. "Stronger the better right?" asked Twilight. "Yeah definitely, we want to be ready for anything," answered Reiko. "Can we at least wait till we get to the next world?" asked Fandom. "I'm exhausted," "Alright," laughed Reiko. The guards split off into two groups as they arrived at the temple. Fandom and his party kept walking in and made their way to the emperor's throne room. The two guards opened the door to the emperor's throne room as Fandom ans his party approached. The three were greeted by cries of joy as they entered the room. "Congratulations!" the emperor beamed. "Thank you sir," said Fandom bowing. "Haha I knew that Reiko brought me the right person, I bet it was no easy feat trying to liberate Equestria from the Subspace Empire," laughed Sakaki. "And because of that I bet you brought back many stories from trip there, why don't you tell us some while you rest up?" "Thank you sir," said Twilight. "Nonsense, heck I even prepared a feast and nice a warm bath for each of you!" beamed Sakaki. "Oh thank god, I could really use a nice warm bath right about now," said Fandom. "Well then go on you three, I'll have your feast ready by the time you get back," said Sakaki. A male and female guard walked in and escorted the three out and to the baths. "Prepare the food," he ordered one of the kitsune sitting in the circles. "Yes sir!" he said. He got to his feet and walked out of the room. As he left the room another guard walked in carrying a small black box. "Sir you have a message," said the guard. "Oh from who?" asked Sakaki. "It's from someone by the name of Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery aka Ritsu for short," answered the guard. Lightning erupted in the sky from the dark clouds as the floating city, Subspace Megalopolis, hovered above the dangerous terrain down below. The area where the city was flying over was filled with nothing but death and destruction. The ground below the city was filled with large black spikes that protruded from the black earth. The sky was dark and all forms of life had been replaced with bones and thorny vines that grew rapidly. In the distance the water looked like tar and the nearby forest was filled with dead trees. Several of Bowser's airships flew around the city along with Kabula, and an entire fleet of the Storm King's ships. Within the center of city, stood, Genesis Tower. The main HQ for Origin and the place where the Subspace Empire received their orders. Above Genesis Tower was a single platform. Beneath the left side large black prisms extended with blue lights running up and down the gemstones. Beneath the right side black vines with red veins sprouted. This was Final Destination. And at the top of Genesis Tower, Origin sat in his throne looking out the window behind him. "Sir," a voice spoke up. "You have failed me Wrath," said Origin. "I sincerely apologize for my foolish mistake sir," said Wrath. "I never expected that brat to actually go for the reactor," "Enough excuses," sneered Origin. The wicked smile on his pale white mask glared at Wrath. Normally Wrath would be the one scaring others, but even for him that mask was absolutely terrifying. "It was bad enough, that Bowser and Sakuya failed, but it makes it even worse that YOU of all people failed as well," "Sir please, I beg for another chance, surely next time that kid will die!" pleaded Wrath. "I'll think about it, in the meantime get me those two geezers," ordered Origin. "I need to complain about that lazy excuse of a robot to them," "Yes sir," said Wrath. He turned around and pushed the button on the elevator and descended. "I heard that you know," a female voice spoke up. "Shut up Glados, I don't need your pity," hissed Origin. "How sad, and after all the things I've done to support you up until this point," sneered the robot. Origin turned around in Glados's direction as the red light flashed from the center of his left eye. Glados nervously backed up. "I didn't call for you," growled Origin. Feeling unwanted Glados reluctantly retracted from Origin's space. Origin groaned as he slumped down in his chair. He picked up his cup of coffee and began drinking as a large white wheel a single red eye in the center dropped down from the ceiling. "Captain," the wheel spoke up to him in low demonic voice. "Auto, I don't need any advice," groaned Origin. "Captain, you've received a message from Commander Lust and Commander Tempest," said Auto. "Alright I'll answer it later, I just need a minute to myself," said Origin. "Understood," said Auto as he returned to his original state. Ever since Origin brought back Glados and Auto he had given them the ability to activate and deactivate at their own free will in exchange for their alliance. Now he was starting to regret his decision. Twilight squealed as she popped another sushi in her mouth. In all the years that she lived, she'd only eaten food from Equestrian society. To her this was a rare occasion. She felt glad that she decided to join Fandom's party. "How's the food?" asked Reiko. "It's delicious, I've never eaten food like it!" beamed Twilight. "That's Japan for ya," said Fandom. He reached over and broke off one of the legs from the king crab and grabbed the meat with his teeth. "I'm glad that you've taken a liking to our dish," said Sakaki. "By the way, you've received some messages from the other worlds," "Already?" asked Fandom. "It's amazing indeed, you only liberated one world and already your names are spreading like wildfire," answered Sakaki. "Well anyway, the first message is from the anime world representative, someone by the name of Ritsu," "Ritsu?" asked Reiko munching on a sushi. "Yes, and well the second representative is here actually," said Sakaki. "Really where?" asked Twilight. Sakaki looked over to one of the guards and nodded. The guard walked over to the doors and opened it. The guard held the door as human figure walked in. He was wearing a white tunic and two golden rings on his left arm. A golden flower crown sat in his brown hair and his blue eyes stared at the three intently. Two white angel wings sprouted from his back. "Hey wait a minute, I know you," said Fandom. "And I know you too Fandom," said the angel. "Fandom who is this guy?" asked Reiko. "His name is Pit, he works for a goddess back in his world," answered Fandom. He may have wings but the truth is he can't fly for very long," "Fandom don't tell them that!" exclaimed Pit. "It's true ain't it?" asked Fandom. "Anyway you having trouble with the Subspace Empire?" "Trust me, I don't know how they came back," said Pit. "Most of us is still trying to figure that out," said Fandom. "Well I guess we can help you out," "Great I'm sure Lady Palutena will be happy to see you," said Pit. "Who?" asked Twilight. "We'll explain everything on the way," said Fandom. He was about to stand up when a the sound of worried villagers could be heard from outside the temple. "What's going on out there?' asked Sakaki. "Sir we need the three heroes!" said a guard bursting into the room. 'What happened?" asked Reiko. "Follow me," said the guard. The four looked at each other and followed the guard outside.When they got out a crowd of kitsune was gathered around something. "I've brought them," said the guard. The crowd dispersed to reveal a young girl crawling on the ground. She was wearing a dark green school vest and brown skirt. Her caramel colored short hair was a mess and her clothes were torn to shreds. "Hey are you alright?" asked Twilight. "Yeah somehow," she answered nervously. Her eyes widened as she looked up at them. "Are you who I think you are?" she asked. "Yes," answered Fandom. "Who are you and where did you come from?" asked Reiko. Fandom looked above her head to see two words. "Chihiro Fujisaki?" asked Fandom. "That's your name?" "Uh huh," she answered. "Chihiro, where did you come from?" asked Twilight. "From....the anime world," Chihiro stuttered. "The anime world!?" gasped Reiko. "What happened?" asked Fandom. "I was-" But her answer was cut off when the sound of screaming children rang out. The three looked up as three fireballs rained down and struck three houses causing an explosion that sent them up in flames. 'What the hell!?" yelped Reiko. Just then the ground beneath them began to shake as something burst out of the ground. The creature flew up in the air spreading out it's wings. The creature's body was covered in purple scales and had bright pink wings. It had a long tails with sharp tip at the end. It's glowing yellow eyes glared down at the citizens of the village. "What is that!?" yelped Twilight. Fandom looked above the creatures head. Sure enough, a red HP bar sat over it's head and under it's name, a skull next to it. "It's him," said Fandom. "Who?" asked Reiko. "The villain from the Metroid series and the arch nemesis of Samus Aran," answered Fandom. Twilight, Reiko, Pit, and Chihiro all looked at Fandom. "Ridley," growled Fandom. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 6: Ritsu > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "FUCK!" Fandom cursed kicking the ground in frustration. "Fandom calm down, he was too fast it can't be helped," said Twilight. Fandom sighed as he lowered his head. Two hours had passed since Ridley attacked the village. Fandom and his party were ready to fight off the threat, but Ridley caught everyone off guard by snatching Chihiro and escaping into the anime world. They had pursued after Ridley in hopes of rescuing the distress while Pit returned to his world to get reinforcements, but Ridley had managed to escape. Now Fandom and his party were lost in this world with no traces of the beast. "Look I know things look bad, but we can make a comeback," said Reiko. "How?" asked Fandom. "Ridley escaped, we got separated from the one person who had wings, the village is destroyed, and Chihro's life is in danger," "If only I knew Ridley was going to attack, we could've prevented this," "Don't beat yourself up about it, he came out of nowhere," said Twilight. "We can't give up, everyone needs us," "Yeah, your right, sorry," said Fandom. "It's fine," said Reiko. "Now come on we have to find a way to save Chihiro," "But how?" asked Fandom. At that moment a catchy jingle began to play from somewhere. "Where's that coming from?" asked Twilight. That's when Fandom realized that it was coming from the menu. He opened up a menu to see a big red explanation point flashing in the top right corner. He tapped on the explanation point as a large hologram of a young girl suddenly popped up. She had short lilac hair with two long strands coming down on either side on the backside. She wore a typical grey school suit and skirt and her light blue eyes sparkled despite there being no sources of light nearby. "Hiya," the girl beamed cheerfully. "Fucking hell!" yelped Fandom. "Oh my apologies for startling you Fandom," said the girl. "Who are you?" asked Twilight. "My name is Ritsu," answered the girl. Suddenly the environment froze as a splash screen appeared. Newcomer Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery aka Ritsu Digitizes! The splash screen vanishes as the environment begins moving again. "Wait Ritsu as in like the Ritsu that sent the message?" asked Reiko. "Yep that's me!" Ritsu answered cheerfully. "No way," said Fandom. "You don't believe me?" Ritsu asked. "Well it's not that, I just expected you to be like an actual human like me," stuttered Fandom. "Oh I guess your emperor didn't explain it to you," said Ritsu. "Explain what?" asked Twilight. "My name is the shorter version of, Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery," explained Ritsu. "Really?" asked Fandom. Ritsu nodded with a smile. "Where does the Ritsu come in?" "In Japanese Autonomous means Jiritsu," explained Ritsu. "My name comes from that one word," "Ah, I understand," said Fandom. "By the way why are you in my menu?" asked Fandom. "Our world has been going through a lot lately, and we wanted to find a way to escape the endless torment, that's when we heard about three heroes who managed to liberate one of the seven worlds that was annexed by the enemy," explained Ritsu. "That's when our government sent me to your village in the form of a message hoping that you might get it," "Sakaki explained it to us didn't he?" asked Twilight. "Remember when he called out my name, that's when he planted that message in your menu," explained Ritsu. "Geez I'm so confused on how he pulls these things off," said Fandom. "Either way I'm here to support you from here on out as your AI," said Ritsu. "Um Ritsu you DO realize that AI stands for Artificial Intelligence right?" asked Fandom "Of course," Ritsu answered cheerfully. "Well not to be rude or anything, but the last time I checked your name wasn't Artificial Intelligence Fixed Artillery, it was Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery," said Fandom. "Well then it's about time I changed that," said Ritsu. "Are you even allowed to do that?" asked Fandom. "The government allowed me to act out of my own free will as long as it doesn't help the enemy," answered Ritsu. They really hate the Subspace Empire THAT much don't they?" asked Reiko. "Affirmative," answered Ritsu. "So with that being said, call me the Artificial Intelligence Fixed Artillery from now on," "Yeah I think I'll stick with Ritsu," said Fandom. Reiko and Twilight nodded their head in agreement. "Suit yourself," said Ritsu. "So where do we begin?" asked Ritsu. "Well I would explain it to you, but I think that would take too long," said Fandom. "Damn I wish I had a photograph of him," "You're looking for someone?" asked Ritsu. "Shit the one thing I need was a file of all the enemies and of course the game refuses to give me one," grumbled Fandom. "If your looking for files on enemies, I have one right here," said Ritsu. Suddenly the bottom half of the screen moves up so that it only showed Ritsu from waist up as a digital folder appeared next to her. 'Where the hell did you get that?" asked Fandom. "I AM an AI," said Ritsu. She quickly moved to the side as the digital folder opened up revealing files of the enemies they faced before. "If you want to check the next file, just swipe," "Wow and I thought this was just a game," said Fandom. Fandom began swiping through the files until he came across Ridley's. "Ah here we are," said Fandom. Ritsu's face appeared next to the file as the folder disappeared. "Ridley is it?" asked Ritsu. "Interesting choice," "He attacked the village we came from as well as kidnap an innocent bystander," answered Fandom. "We managed to chase him into this world, but after that we lost trace of him," "Understood, I will began a scan of this world now to see if I can pinpoint his location," said Ritsu. She lowered her head and closed her eyes as screenshots of different locations began to flash on the screen. Scan complete," announced Ritsu. "Well?" asked Reiko. "According to the data I have gathered, it seems Ridley is constantly moving so unfortunately I cannot pinpoint exactly where he is but he appears to hang around these areas constantly," said Ritsu. She pulled up four images of different locations. One was an tall black building that seemed to resemble some sort of academy. The Subspace Logo was imprinted above the front doors. The second was an old cemetery, the third was a large stadium with a large stage in the center resembling the Subspace logo. The fourth location was a ruined section of a technological city. "Where are these places?" asked Reiko. "The first location used to be the grounds for a certain school called Hopes Peak Academy, but it's currently being used as an HQ for the Subspace Empire after the former building burned down," answered Ritsu. "Hopes Peak Academy?" asked Fandom. "Isn't that from the anime Danganronpa?" "Yes," answered Ritsu. "The second location is just an old cemetery which is said to be the hiding grounds of a certain yokai," "A what?" asked Twilight. "A yokai is a type of demon or spirit that inhabits the world of Japan," answered Fandom. "That's right," said Ritsu. "The third location is the New National Stadium," "New National Stadium?" asked Fandom. "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere but where?" "Well it's currently being used as a hideout for the Subspace Empire," explained Ritsu. "The fourth and final location is Academy City," "Isn't that from the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun?" asked Fandom. "That's right," answered Ritsu. "However it's only the ruined part of the city that Ridley was seen," "Why these four of all places?" asked Twilight. "Unfortunately I do not know myself, perhaps we'll find some sort of hint or clue if we go there ourselves?" suggested Ritsu. "Very well," said Fandom. "Hey Ritsu can you stay on for the time being, we're going to need you to show us the way," "Sure thing," said Ritsu. "Girls, we're going to be entering enemy territory, let's be cautious when investigating," said Fandom. "Right," said Reiko. "Agreed," said Twilight. "Alright Ritsu lead the way," said Fandom. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 7: Horrors in the Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dead trees continued to increase as Fandom led a terrified Reiko and Twilight to the cemetery. At first the scary forest wasn't as bad considering that there was very little trees. But as soon as they entered, it was clear that they were not alone. For the past 2 hours the group had been walking around the forest with no way out, and every time they felt as if they'd been walking in circles. Even Ritsu's radar began acting up the second the trees began to look gloomier and their numbers increased. At one point, Fandom felt as if they were being watched by something or somebody. Every now and then he would turn around to see a tall figure wearing a suit standing behind a tree looking in their direction, but every time he blinked the figure would've disappeared. "Are we there yet?" Twilight asked nervously. "I've tried fixing the radar, but it seems there's something in this forest that's disrupting the connection," said Ritsu. "How long have we been walking in here?" asked Reiko trembling. "Reiko you are technically a yokai, why are YOU of all people scared?" asked Fandom. "Aren't you scared of something to?" asked Reiko. "N-no," answered Fandom. "I heard you stutter Fandom," said Ritsu. "Shut up," groaned Fandom. "Hey I think we made it out," said Twilight. Fandom and Reiko looked to forward to find themselves in front of an old graveyard. "Wait since when did we get out of the forest?" asked Fandom. "I don't know, but I think I got connection back," said Ritsu. "Um what's that?" asked Reiko pointing forward. The group looked up to see a large mansion standing behind the graveyard. Red mist covered the sky and a mysterious large object stationed above the mansion. "Hey Ritsu do you think you can zoom in on that thing above the mansion?" asked Fandom pointing at the object. "Roger," said Ritsu. Ritsu vanished from the screen as an image of the object replaced her. The screen on the menu slowly zoomed in until the object came into view. It was a large battleship of some sort with large purple wings at the back. A large canon sat on top of the ship and a shiny grey mask was attached on the front. "Is that a battleship?" asked Reiko. "Yes, I believe it's called Battleship Halberd from the Kirby series," answered Fandom. "Though I don't know why this thing would be here," "Maybe if head over to the mansion we can find some clues or hints," suggested Twilight. The two nodded their heads in agreement and entered the graveyard. The three trudged through the graveyard as they made their way to the large mansion. "Sweet Celestia he HAD to choose here of all the places," whimpered Twilight. Reiko's ear twitched she stopped. "Reiko is something wrong?" asked Fandom. "Whoever you are we know you're there, come out and show yourself!" she ordered drawing her sword. Twilight and Fandom looked behind as figures slowly walked out from behind to gravestones. The girl was slightly taller than the boy and was wearing a white long sleeved shirt with a green tie. Her green skirt flowed in the in the wind and her blue eyes stared at them nervously. The boy had a black and yellow vest over his blue shirt and wore shorts of the same color. He was wearing a pair of old fashioned geta sandals and his brown hair covered his right eye. "I knew it so it was YOU two who was following us," growled Reiko. "I'm afraid that's just a misunderstanding," the boy growled. 'Wait Reiko, these two aren't part of the Subspace Empire," said Ritsu. Reiko hesitated but returned her sword in her scabbard. The two also straightened their bodies, becoming less defensive and afraid of the them. "Who are you?" asked Reiko. Sure enough the environment froze as two splash screens appeared. Newcomer! Gegege no Kitaro Shows up! Newcomer! Mana Inuyama Reaches out! "Fandom this was yokai I was talking about!" gasped Ritsu as the splash screens disappeared. "What?!" asked Fandom. "So you've heard about us," a voice spoke up. The three looked around the graveyard searching for the voice's source to no avail. "Who said that?" asked Twilight. Kitaro's hair began to rustle as small red eyeball crawled out. "What the hell!?" yelped Reiko. "Hey no need to scream," said the eyeball. "Sorry if my dad startled you," apologized Kitaro. "You're dad!?" yelped Twilight. At that moment a third splash screen appeared. Newcomer! Daddy Eyeball Sees through you! "That's right," answered Daddy Eyeball. 'We came here to investigate a mysterious screeching we heard from Academy City," said Kitaro. "Wait, you guys just came from Academy City?" asked Fandom. The three nodded. "Then that means..." said Reiko. "Ridley isn't in Academy City," said Fandom. "Who?" asked Mana. Fandom and his friends explained the situation about their mission, Ridley's attack on the village, and the Subspace Empire. "I see, so you're here looking for the girl this Ridley kidnapped," said Daddy Eyeball. "Alright then it's settled, we'll help," 'Wait what!?" gasped Mana. "If the screeching is somehow connected to this Ridley, then we can't just leave the kid when she's in danger," said Daddy Eyeball. "If that's what you want," said Kitaro. Fandom reached out grabbed Kitaro's hand. "Nice having you," said Fandom. With that, the group continued to make their way to the mansion. Along the way Reiko and Twilight chatted with Mana and explained everything they heard about Ridley and the Subspace Empire. It wasn't long before they reached the entrance. "It's kind of gloomy," said Mana. "Hey look a sign," said Twilight. Fandom looked over and saw a bronze sign hanging on the right wall. "Scarlet Devil Mansion," Fandom read. "That doesn't sound good," said Reiko. Regardless Fandom pushed open the door as they were greeted by a gust of cold air. Inside they could hear the screams of someone or something. "Ok that's creepy," said Reiko. "Let's go," said Fandom walking in. Kitaro followed behind but the girls seemed hesitant. They eventually summoned up their courage and walked in. They stood at the center of the lobby looking around. "Interesting mansion I must say so myself," said Daddy Eyeball. Fandom was about to head down the left hallway when something rattled. Fandom looked around cautiously. 'What was that?" asked Twilight. "Fandom, there seems to be a strange presence coming from inside the dresser," said Ritsu. Fandom looked to his left to see the old dresser with it's doors slightly ajar. Gathering his courage, Fandom walked over and placed one hand on the dresser door. He placed his hand over one of the crosses and threw open the door only to find two kids huddled up in the dresser. 'It's just kids," said Fandom. "What?" asked Kitaro. The group walked over next to Fandom. One of the kids was wearing a bright yellow raincoat while the second wore a blue sweater and tattered black pants. The kid with the raincoat had brown eyes while the kid in the blue sweater had blue eyes. Both were barefoot and looked to be in their teens. "He's right," said Mana. "But who are they and what are they doing here?" Two more splash screens flashed in front of the group. Newcomer! Six Hungers for Food! Newcomer! Seven Runs in! "Please don't hurt us," whimpered Six. "We won't, you can trust us," said Twilight. The two nervously crawled out and into Kitaro and Reiko's arms. "They're hurt," said Ritsu. "Hey you two what are you doing in here?" asked Fandom. "We were starving so we came here looking for food," answered Seven. "But then we got chased by these scary robot animals so we hid in the dresser," added Six. "Robot animals, you mean like animatronics?" asked Fandom. The two nodded. "I see, well you're alright now," said Fandom. "Why don't you stay with us?" "Really can we do that?" asked Six. "Now wait a minute, we can't just bring them with us," said Reiko. 'You got any better ideas?" asked Fandom. "We can't just leave them in there, don't worry I'll protect them at all costs," Reiko tried to oppose but she stayed silent. "Come on let's go," said Fandom. The group now joined with Six and Seven followed after Fandom as he led them deeper into the mansion. They continued to walk through the halls as Fandom took the lead. Every now and then there would be some loud sound that made the girls jump, but Fandom stayed brave for the group. Kitaro on the other hand didn't seemed fazed and neither was Seven. "Geez such a big mansion," said Mana. Suddenly the same scream the group heard before entering the mansion rang out once more. 'Again," whimpered Twilight. "Fandom, there appears to be two more beings nearby," said Ritsu. 'Let's go!" said Fandom dashing off. "Wait!" Reiko called out. But Kitaro and Seven just casually followed after him. The girls hesitated but ran after their friends. When they caught up with Fandom, they could see two figures down the hall they stopped at. One was a human wearing brown shoes, blue overalls, green shirt, and green hat. The second figure was a pony with pink mane and tail. "Who's that?" asked Daddy Eyeball. Suddenly the two screamed and came running towards the group. Before anybody could react the two figures ran into Fandom and knocked him down. 'Ouch!" said Fandom. "Fandom are you alright?" asked Mana. "I'm fine but who the hell?" asked Fandom. The three looked up at each other. "Wait Luigi?" asked Fandom. 'Fluttershy?' asked Twilight. 'Who?" asked Reiko. As usual another splash screen flashed in front of them. Newcomer! Fluttershy Sneaks in! "Fluttershy what are you doing here?" asked Twilight. "I should be asking the same," said Fluttershy. Suddenly Luigi screamed and hid behind Fandom with Fluttershy. 'Whoa what's going on?" asked Fandom. 'Um Fandom," Six whimpered. "What?" asked Fandom. Six swallowed hard as she pointed behind him. Confused, Fandom turned around as the sound of mechanical footsteps walked up to them. Fandom looked up to see three robots standing there. One was a withered blue bunny with a red bow tie with a large hole in it's chest. The figure on the right was a withered red fox with a large hook on it's left hand. The third was a withered golden bear with a purple hat and bow tie. Two holes and sharp teeth were on it's stomach resembling a face. All three robots had sharp claws and teeth that looked like it could tear human flesh with one bite. 'What the fuck?" whimpered Reiko. Fandom looked above the three's head and noticed red HP bars with skulls next to them hovering under their names. "Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare Foxy, and Nightmare Fredbear," Fandom read out loud. "There the ones, they tried to hurt us!" Seven exclaimed. "Shit," cursed Fandom. "But these are the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's 4!" The animatronics eyes flashed red as they approached the group. Fandom was about to grab his cross when Mana behind them screamed. "What happened!?" Fandom asked turning around. That's when he noticed three more animatronics had appeared behind them. One was a withered brown bear with a black hat and bow tie with three smaller bears crawling all over it's body. The second was a withered duck and/or chicken with a white bib that read let's eat and a withered pink cupcake in it's right hand. The third seem to resemble Nightmare Fredbear but had a black color skin with a yellow bow tie and hat instead of purple. They also had sharp teeth and claws. "We're surrounded!" gasped Kitaro. "Nightmare Freddy, Nightmare Chica, and Nightmare," Fandom read out loud. "Great the whole gang's here," The group was slowly cornered against the wall as the six animatronics slowly closed in on them. "This is officially the worst," said Reiko. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 8: Nightmare or Reality > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom stopped to catch his breath as Mana and Fluttershy clutched each other trembling with fear. He didn't know whether he should thank or scold Twilight once they reunited. But he knew, she did it out of fear. Her teleportation magic shouldn't have sent them too far from each other. "Are you two alright?" asked Fandom. "Yeah somehow," answered Mana. "What are we going to do?" whimpered Fluttershy. "I don't know, but I'll think of something," answered Fandom. He froze. "Quiet," said Fandom. The two cover their mouths as Fandom slowly peeked out from the under the stairs. He could see Nightmare Bonnie and Nightmare Foxy walking down the steps. Their footsteps echoing throughout the mansion. He quickly pulled his head back under the stairs as the two animatronics slowly jumped off the stairs and walked past them. Mana and Fluttershy slowly removed their hands and hoofs away from the mouth and inched closer. Suddenly the two animatronics stopped halfway. Fandom quickly covered both of their mouth and waited. Eventually the two animatronics walked off not noticing the three under the stairs. Fandom slowly removed his hands from the two's mouth as they let out a sigh of relief. "Thank Celestia they didn't notice us," sighed Fluttershy. "Come on let's go," said Fandom grabbing the two by the arm. "What?" asked Mana. "We can't stay here forever, besides we have to find the others," said Fandom. He gently dragged the two out from under the stairs. Fandom cautiously inspected the area before climbing the stairs. Fluttershy and Mana following behind. Reiko slowly poked her head out of the vase she was hiding in. She could she Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare Chica searching the room not noticing Luigi who was hiding under the bed or Six who was hiding in the closet. After 5 minutes of searching the two gave up and left the room, slamming the door behind them. Reiko waited for a while before crawling out of the vase. "That was close," said Reiko. "Oh, I hate those things," whimpered Luigi. "Do you think the others are alright?" asked Six. 'We won't know until we find them," said Reiko. "Let's go," she slowly opened the door and walked out, Luigi and Six following behind. Twilight hated herself, not because she had accidentally teleported everyone away from each other, but because she thought hiding in the mansion's kitchen was a good idea. But after seeing the two ugly chefs, she instantly regretted her decision. Seriously the ugly emotionless faces were disgusting. Twilight slowly poked her head out from under the table she was hiding and scanned the room looking for Kitaro and Seven. She noticed Kitaro hiding behind one of the shelves and Seven under the sink. Just as she was about to crawl out she heard the sound of mechanical stomping and quickly slid back under. The chef turned around as Nightmare Freddy and Nightmare walked in. The two walked past the chef and began searching. They began tossing food and jars making the chefs angry. Eventually the chef kicked them out and gave Twilight the chance to crawl out. "Note to self never teleport when you're panicking," said Twilight. "This brings back bad memories," said Seven. "We should probably find the others," suggested Kitaro. "I would love to get out of here," said Seven. The two huddled next to Twilight as she teleported them out. Fandom led Fluttershy and Mana down the halls while staying quiet as possible. They had managed to stay hidden from the animatronics thus far but they really wanted to reunite with their friends. "This is really creepy," whimpered Fluttershy. "I know but we can't just leave, not without our friends," said Fandom. "Wait what's that?" asked Mana pointing forward. Fandom stopped and looked forward to see something. The creature was slender and was about the height of an average human. It had two arms that was held out and looked like it was made of concrete with some sort of paint. It had a gaping mouth in the center of it's face with red substance surrounding it's mouth. Two green eyes were set apart several inches away from it's mouth and two large black holes under it's eyes. "Aww fuck," cursed Fandom. "It HAD to be this thing," "What is it?" asked Fluttershy. "SCP-173 aka The Sculpture," answered Fandom. "It's a hostile animate object that can't move while you have it's sight on it," explained Fandom. "Well that doesn't sound so bad," said Mana. "It's not, the worst part is it's method of killing," said Fandom. "Killing?" whimpered Fluttershy. "Yeah, like I mentioned just now, it can only move when we break eye contact, if that happens it will break the victims neck killing them instantly," explained Fandom. "However when there's multiple people like right now, you must announce that you're blinking before doing so," "Ok I take it back, this is terrifying," said Mana. "Wait I think I see something else," said Fluttershy. Sure enough a second creature slowly walked out of the shadows and stopped next to SCP-173. The creature seem to resemble an elderly humanoid that was already in a stage of decomposition. "No not him too!" yelped Fandom. "Who's that?" asked Mana. "SCP-106 aka Radical Larry as many players call him," answered Fandom. "He is isn't very agile and can easily scale any vertical surfaces and can cause a corrosion effect in which everything he touches will enter a physical breakdown seconds after coming in contact with him," explained Fandom. "It's said that he will attempt to damage major organs, muscle groups, and tendons then drag the victim into it's quote on quote pocket dimension," 'Is there any way to avoid him?" asked Mana. "The best option is to run when you get the chance," answered Fandom. "How do we do that when we can't even break eye contact with the Sculpture?" asked Fluttershy. "The only answer to that is, we're screwed," answered Fandom. Reiko, Luigi, and Six continued to walk around the Scarlet Devil Mansion searching for their friends while avoiding the animatronics. "Geez Fandom where are you?" Reiko mumbled. "Is it just me or is it darker than usual?" asked Six. "Hey do you hear that?" asked Luigi. Sure enough, the three stopped to hear strange whimpering accompanied by scratching. Luigi yelped and quickly hid behind Reiko trembling in fear. "What is it?" asked Reiko. Luigi pointed forward shaking. Confused Reiko looked up to see two creatures standing there. One was a strange humanoid with stained skin stitched together to it's body. Multiple scars covered it's body and it's jaw could be hanging over it's torso. It had large bulging eyes that stared intently at the three and it's left hand was missing fingers with a large blade in it's place. The second creature had no eyes, a clear indication that they were blind. They looked like a humanoid with dusty brown skin. "What are those?" asked Six. "I don't know but they don't look friendly," answered Reiko. Just then, the two creatures began running towards them. Reiko didn't need to stay to know what was coming next. The three didn't waste time as they began running in the direction they came from. A bright purple light illuminated the dark lobby of the Scarlet Devil Mansion as Twilight, Kitaro, and Seven appeared. "Sweet Celestia we made it out," gasped Twilight as fell on the ground. "So much for escaping my nightmares," groaned Seven. "Father, do you suppose the others are alright?" asked Kitaro. "We can only hope for the best," said Daddy Eyeball. "Uh guys since when was that thing there?" asked Seven. The two looked towards the left to see a large blue humanoid creature with a large head. "Strange, father could that be a yokai?" asked Kitaro. "I'm not sure, I haven't seen a yokai like that," answered Daddy Eyeball. Their thoughts were interrupted when the ground beneath them suddenly began to shake. "What's happening?!" yelped Twilight. It wasn't until the shaking stopped that Seven heard the sound of scrapping coming from behind him. He turned around to see a large humanoid figure wearing a bloody apron holding a large machete. However where his head was supposed to be was a large bronze pyramid. "Uh guys I think we're surrounded," said Seven. Kitaro and Twilight turned around to see the monster lifting up the machete with one arm. The three huddled closer as the two beast slowly began approaching them from either sides. "There!" Twilight said pointing towards the stairs. She began running up the steps but was suddenly knocked back and sent tumbling back down when something landed in front of her. Kitaro and Seven managed to catch her before she could hit the floor. "Twilight are you alright?" asked Kitaro. "Yeah I'm fine but..." Twilight looked up to see a third creature standing at the top of the stairs. The creature looked like a human zombie but hunched over with two elongated arms around the shoulder area. Large blades could be seen hanging down from it's wrist and multiple scars covered the creature's body. The monster began walking down the stairs shaking it's two blades as it hissed. Meanwhile the other two monsters continued to approach the three closing in on them. "This night couldn't get any worse," whimpered Twilight. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 9: Nightmare Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom, Fluttershy and Mana walked down the dark hallway of the mansion unable to escape SCP-173's eyes drilling into their backs. In front of them was SCP-106. For some unusual reason neither had attempted to kill them them and now was escorting the three somewhere. Fandom didn't know where but he had a feeling that it was best to do what they told them to do in case they DID think of killing them. Every now and them, Mana would look behind her to see SCP-173 standing behind her. "Where are they taking us?" whispered Fluttershy. "I don't know but we better do as they told us," answered Fandom. "Hey look," Mana whispered looking to the left. The two looked over to see Reiko, Luigi, and Six being escorted by two strange humanoids. "Reiko?" Fandom whispered. "Fandom, where have you been?" Reiko asked. 'Running from these freaks," answered Fandom. "Looks like you got unlucky with the Servant Grunt and Moleman," "The what?" asked Reiko. "I'll explain later," said Fandom. The six now reunited continued to walk wither escorts. It wasn't long before they ran into Twilight, Kitaro, and Seven being escorted Ao Oni, Pyramid Head, and a Necromorph. They were eventually led to a pair of large doors. 'Whoa," said Kitaro. The Moleman and Pyramid Head walked over and pushed open the doors that led into a dark room with multiple torches lining up the walls. Pyramid Head turned around and thrusted his machete into the room. 'Do you think he wants us to go in?" asked Mana. Not wanting to argue with the monsters, Fandom walked in followed by the other 8. "Why do you interrupt me now?" a voice groaned. The group looked forwards as a large creature stepped out of the shadows. The creature resembled Bowser, but instead of his usual yellow scales, he was nothing but bones. Two orange lights glowed inside of his eye sockets. "Great more visitors I suppose, or just some nosy intruders?" "Who are you?" asked Fandom. Newcomer! Dry Bowser Rattles the Competition! "Now you know, how about you leave me alone," growled Dry Bowser. "I'm kind of busy here," "Now, now Dry they're our precious guests," laughed another voice. "Who's there!?" asked Six. Suddenly, a large round white creature appeared. It's tongue was sticking out of it's mouth and a small golden crown sat on top of it's head. Newcomer! King Boo Appears! "Hmph guests?" sneered another voice. "You call our arch enemies our guests?" Suddenly the the torches lit up with blue flames revealing another seven figures. One resembled a black pony with wings and a horn. Her mane and tail seemed to resemble the night sky and a crescent moon mark was printed on her flank. Another resembled Pit but had black robe and wings instead of white. The third figure was covered in black armor with blue lights running up and down the suit. A small arm canon was attached to it's left arm and it's helmet kept the figures identity hidden. The fourth figure was a young girl with blonde hair and had a bright red dress with a small yellow bow on her chest. Two small black wings with colorful diamonds sprouted from her back and her red eyes stared at the group innocently. A small white hat sat on her head. The fifth figure had somewhat of a similar appearance to the fourth figure. The only difference was she had blue hair and had a white dress instead of red. She also had matching hats but had small bat wings instead. The sixth figure had pale white skin and a black robe that made him look like something out of a vampire movie. The seventh figure was slightly shorter than the sixth figure and had blonde hair and white cape along with a black pants and black vest. "More of them!?" gasped Twilight. Newcomer! Nightmare Moon Haunts your Dreams! Newcomer! Flandre Scarlet Wants to Play! Newcomer! Remilia Scarlet Invites you in! Newcomer! Dracula Wants your Blood! Newcomer! Alucard Like Father Like Son! "Wait two of them didn't get a splash screen," said Reiko. "That's because Dark Pit and Dark Samus are already part of the Super Smash Bros roster," answered Fandom. "I don't know who you are or why you came here, but you're unwanted here," said Remilia. "Hmph, some hostess you are, that's no way to treat your guests," said Seven. "You are no guests!" laughed King Boo. "We're just minding our own business, and then you rudely drop in," said Dry Bowser. "We didn't mean to cause trouble, we're just looking for Ridley," said Fandom. "Ha like we'd do that," sneered Dark Pit. "We won't allow you to interfere with the Subspace Empire's plans," "If you won't speak ,we'll force it out of you," growled Kitaro. "Bring it on," snickered Dracula. Suddenly, an alarm went off as a red text box appeared. BOSS BATTLE Fandom was ready to take on the villains, but when he looked up his face immediately lost it's color. "Fandom what's wrong?" asked Twilight. 'Guys, I think we're screwed," said Fandom. "Why?" asked Reiko. "Those guys are level 20 and we're only level 5," answered Fandom. "WHAT!?" gasped Twilight. "I told you we should've stopped and grind," said Reiko. "I'm sorry, I was so busy focused on Ridley that I forgot about how under leveled we were," said Fandom. Suddenly Dry Bowser landed in front of them as a text box appeared. Dry Bowser used First Strike! Dry Bowser inhaled and coughed up three blue fireballs that caused area damage upon impact. Fandom and his party were knocked back into the wall. Fandom winced and looked up to see his HP shoot down into the red zone. A -180 Combo 3x hung over everyone's head. "What how did that do so much damage?!" Fandom gasped. Dry Bowser laughed as he jumped back into his spot. Fandom winced and looked over to the rest of his party members who were badly injured from the attack. "Shit at this rate we can't beat them," cursed Fandom. "Aww done already no fun," pouted Nightmare Moon. "Well that was still easier said then done," said Alucard. "Let's just clean this up, before they get a chance to recover," said Dark Samus. "Agreed," said Remilia. 'Aww but I wanted to play with them more," pouted Flandre. "Don't worry sis, I'll find you a new a play thing," said Remilia. "Aww ok," said Flandre. "Nightmare Moon would you like to do the honors?" asked Dracula. "My pleasure," answered Nightmare Moon. She jumped up as her horn began to glow in a blue light. Fandom glared at the villains. "This is the end for you!" Nightmare Moon howled. She threw her head down as a stream of blue magic flew towards the weakened group. But just as the beam could strike the party, something jumped in front of them. "Guardian Orbitars!" Pit announced. He raised up a golden shield, reflecting the attack back at the villains. Panicking, Dry Bowser and Remilia jumped out of the way knocking the unfortunate Flandre back into the wall. "Sis!" Remilia screamed. Flandre shook off the dust as she crawled out. "What was that?" asked Dark Pit. "Long time no see Pittoo," said Pit. "Pit!" Dark Pit exclaimed. "Fandom are you alright?" Ritsu asked as she appeared on the menu screen. "Ritsu where were you?" asked Fandom. "I had to bring Pit here," answered Ritsu. "But don't worry he brought reinforcements," Suddenly the door burst open as something flew in. "Hey Flandre causing trouble again?" asked a voice. Fandom looked up to see a young girl wearing a black and white dress. She was sitting on floating broom almost like a witch. The black hat on her head almost destroyed the purpose of her bright yellow hair. At that moment, eight more figures walked in after her. "What who are you all!?" growled Dry Bowser. Newcomer! Reimu Hakurei Punishes Evildoers! Newcomer! Kirisame Marisa Flies in! "Get in now?" asked Reimu. "we're not letting these heroes die, not like this," "Mario!" hissed King Boo. "It's not-a just-a me," said Mario. "Simon and Richter Belmont, Samus, Megaman, and Mii Fighter are here as well," "Again Mario, it's Veronica," said the Mii Gunner. "Don't forget me," said another voice. "Princess Luna!" gasped Twilight. "Looks like we made it in time," said Simon. "Everybody back up, we'll handle this," said Samus. Fandom and the others quickly backed up to the walls as Pit and the others took their place. "Lets-a go!" announced Mario. "We'll crush you!" roared Dry Bowser. Fandom watched as the two groups clashed. "Is everyone alright?" asked Ritsu. " In all honesty no, we've been hit bad with Dry Bowser's attack," answered Fandom. 'Well hopefully we can get you guys out of her safely," said Ritsu. "It wasn't easy pinpointing your location," "Well we're grateful that you found us before we died," said Fandom. Fandom looked up as a loud roar filled the room. He found the villains on the ground. 'They took them out so quickly," said Fluttershy. "Well we took care of that," said Marisa. "Are you guys alright?" asked Samus. "No they got us good," answered Seven. 'Tch, you runts got lucky," growled Dry Bowser. "But don't think this is it," said Alucard. Dry Bowser scrambled to his feet and jumped out the window while Nightmare Moon quickly teleported out of the room. Both Dark Pit and Dark Samus jumped out the broken window Dry Bowser left behind. Alucard transformed into a bat and flew out, but Remilia and Flandre looked confused. Even the monsters that brought Fandom and his group here ran out. "What's going on?" asked Kitaro. Dracula smirked and snapped his fingers. Suddenly Ridley dropped in from the ceiling and let out an angry roar. 'Whoa!" Marisa yelped. 'Ridley!" Fandom gasped. Luigi and Fluttershy yelped as they hid behind Mana. But Ridley showed no interest in the group as he dropped something he was holding. The object was large round and grey with a large red X printed on the center. "Wait but you promised you wouldn't set one off here!' Remilia gasped. "It doesn't matter, Lord Origin's wishes are our commands," said Dracula. "Unless you're going against his contract," Remilia hesitated to oppose. But she shook it off and ran towards the group. "We can't stay here," said Remilia. 'What why?" asked Fluttershy. Dracula snapped his fingers as two white and red robots latched themselves to the side of the object and pulled the sides apart, revealing a glass container with a small black orb and a timer underneath. "Shit!" Fandom cursed. "Farewell heroes," Dracula laughed. He transformed into a bat and flew out as Ridley growled and jumped out of the hole in the ceiling. "Luna teleport us out of here now!" Fandom ordered. 'Why all of a sudden?" Luna gasped. "if we don't that bomb will go off!" said Fandom. "Bomb!?" Twilight yelped. Luna didn't ask and quickly teleported the group out of the mansion just as the timer hit 0. The group soon found themselves several yards away from the Scarlet Devil Mansion as a large black orb swallowed the mansion whole. 'Looks like we made it out in time," said Remilia. "What was that?" asked Reimu. "A Subspace Bomb, the Subspace Emissary used it to draw different areas of the world into Subspace," answered Fandom. "How dangerous it is, we don't know yet, but any area a Subspace bomb swallows up, it leaves behind a dark void," "We encountered these things back when the Subspace Army attempted to conquer the world, but we managed to stop them in the end," said Samus. "But they're back aren't they?" asked Simon. Samus, Pit, Mario, and Fandom nodded. "I suppose we should try and stop the Empire from setting off these bombs huh?" asked Veronica. "I'm sorry who are you?" asked Fandom. "I'm Veronica, I'm the Mii Gunner from Smash 4," answered Veronica. "Ah I see," said Fandom. "Hey guys look," said Flandre. The group looked above the Subspace to see Ridley flying off in a different direction. The Battleship Halberd quickly changed routes and quickly flew towards the group and over their heads. "Now what?" asked Six. "I know what we're doing," answered Fandom. "Reiko, Twilight if you're ready, we're going after Ridley," "Ritsu," "Yes Fandom?" asked Ritsu. "Can you lead the others back to the village, tell Sakaki that I've sent them there to get fixed up," said Fandom. "Roger," said Ritsu. "Wait but will you guys be alright on your own?" asked Remilia. "Don't worry we'll be fine, besides Ridley is our biggest concern as of now," answered Fandom. "Be careful alright?" asked Mana. "We will," answered Fandom. The group said their goodbyes and soon Fandom and his party was once again back to pursuing Ridley. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 10: New Encounters > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the incident at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Fandom decided not to make the mistake of going on ahead without training. Lucky for him he managed to find a good grinding area in the creepy woods near the cemetery and took some time off adventuring to get stronger. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 10 Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300, HP fully restored! CONGRATULATIONS! Reiko Lvl: 10 Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300, HP fully restored! CONGRATULATIONS! Twilight Sparkle Lvl: 10 Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300, HP fully restored! "Phew, that should be goo enough right?" asked Fandom. "Yeah I'm tired," said Twilight. "We should find someplace to rest up before we continue our search," suggested Reiko. "Good idea," said Fandom pulling up the menu. "Ritsu, do you know which direction Ridley was headed?" "I believe it was towards the New National Stadium," answered Ritsu. "Can you scan the area and find us an inn we can stay at?" asked Fandom. "Roger," answered Ritsu. She closed her eyes as the sound of beeping and clicking could be heard. "Scan complete!" "There appears to be an inn that's only two blocks away from the stadium called Red Luxuries that has vacant rooms," "Great we'll head over there," said Fandom "Ritsu lead the way," said Fandom. 'Roger," said Ritsu. Fandom studied the map that Ritsu pulled up and began walking. His two party members didn't argue with his choice considering that they too were exhausted. The Halberd flew over skies of the anime world almost reaching it's next destination. Commander Tempest and Commander Lust walked through the halls on the battleship passing by a box not thinking twice of the contents hidden underneath it. They hopped on an elevator and ascended to the cockpit. "Such a shame isn't it?" asked Lust. "What is?" Tempest asked back. "The traitors," answered Lust. "You mean the Scarlet Sisters?" asked Tempest. "Too bad it can't be helped, I'm sure Lord Origin will punish them if he sees there faces again," The elevator bell dinged and opened giving the two access to the cockpit multiple black paper men worked the controls. Standing just few feets away from the two was the captain, Meta Knight. "How's it going cap?" asked Lust. "We've almost reached our next destination," answered Meta Knight. "Surely Ridley's decoy led those fools astray," "Hopefully," corrected Tempest. "And the prisoners?" "They're still locked up, but to be honest, the whole damsel in distress thing is kind of cliche," answered Meta Knight. 'What were they again?" asked Lust. "Chihiro Fujisaki and Lillie?" 'I would've preferred if it was Peach and Zelda," said Tempest. At that moment, one of the paper men walked up and started making beeping sound effects. 'Thank you Mr. Game and Watch," said Meta Knight. "We've arrived," Lust walked over to one of the windows and saw New National Stadium just passing underneath them. The Halberd slowly came to a halt as Meta Knight turned around and walked into the elevator. "Well?" Lust shrugged as he and Tempest entered the elevator and descended. Fandom sipped his coffee as he looked at the stats of his party members. Fandom Lvl: 10 To Next Lvl: 1350 EXP Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300 Skills: Cross Boomerang Final Smash: None Reiko Lvl: 10 To Next Lvl: 1350 EXP Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300 Skills: Sword Strike, Burst Barrage Final Smash: None Twilight Sparkle Lvl: 10 To Next Lvl: 1350 EXP Atk: 28 Def: 28 HP: 300/300 Skills: Magic Blast Final Smash: None "You sure have grown stronger since last time," said Ritsu. "Well obviously considering that we were just grinding about 2 hours ago," said Fandom. "Hey Fandom, are you gonna finish that?" Reiko asked munching on her steak. Fandom shook his head and slid his dinner over to Reiko not paying any attention to her. Reiko excitedly grabbed his plate and began gobbling up his leftovers while Twilight looked at her a WTF expression. "So what are our plans for tomorrow?" asked Twilight. "We head over to New National Stadium and search for any clues that might help us figure where Ridley is or what his motives are," answered Fandom. "We'll stop by shops for supplies and maybe grind along the way," "Do you even know where that is?" asked Reiko. "No but that's what we have Ritsu for," answered Fandom. "Yes sir!" Ritsu cheered saluting. "Hey what do you think you're doing!?" a voice exclaimed behind them. Fandom turned around to see two young girls talking with three anthropomorphic animals. One was a green chameleon, the second was a panther with yellow eyes, and the third was a wolf with a visor over his right eye. "Hey aren't those?" asked Twilight. "Team Star Wolf, the rivaling team of Star Fox," answered Fandom. "But what are they doing here?" asked Reiko. "We're about to find out," said Fandom getting out of his chair. He slapped down 10 pieces of gold as he walked over to the group. Reiko and Twilight looked at each other before getting up and followed Fandom. "I told you, this is specific orders from Commander Tempest, now we're going to ask you to come with us," said Wolf. "And I say they're not going anywhere," said Fandom. The two girls and Star Wolf looked over to the three strangers that suddenly appeared before them. Fandom looked over their shoulders and back at the two girls. One was slightly shorter than the other, but they both had the same purple hair green eyes. They both had the same purple and white dress with green ties and skirt. "And who do you think you are?" asked Leon. "How about what are you doing here harassing young girls Team Star Wolf?" asked Fandom picking at his teeth with a toothpick. "Hmph so you've heard about us," said Wolf. "Wait, Wolf this guy isn't he..." said Panther. "He's right, this guy is the Legendary Hero everyone has been talking about," said Leon. "What!?" gasped the taller girl. "Well I guess my identity IS spreading like wildfire," snickered Fandom. "Listen kid, this is official Star Wolf business, we don't need you butting in," said Wolf. "And we don't need the Subspace Empire causing trouble after what happened at the Scarlet Devil Mansion," said Fandom pushing the two girls towards Reiko and Twilight. "Why you little," hissed Leon. "What, you planning to go?" asked Fandom. "Fine, but just so you know this is an inn, if you start picking fights surely everyone would try to stop you and I'm pretty sure this Commander Tempest doesn't want to hear you getting your asses beat by the legendary hero and a bunch of random strangers," Leon stepped forward before Wolf held him back. 'He's right, there's no point in picking fights here," said Wolf. "But Wolf!" Panther tried to oppose but Wolf shot him a glare telling him to get back. "You two are lucky, but don't think there will be someone to save you next time," growled Wolf. "Come on," Wolf turned around and walked out the door as Leon and Panther followed. "Geez the Subspace Empire just doesn't quit now do they?" sighed Fandom. "Are you two alright?" Fandom asked as he turned to face them. "Yes somehow," answered the shorter girl. "I'm Fandom, and these are my friends Reiko and Twilight Sparkle," said Fandom introducing themselves. Reiko and Twilight smiled and waved at the two. "Yes we know, we heard about you three from Remilia Scarlet," said the taller girl. "Wow you weren't kidding Fandom," said Ritsu. Newcomer! Elze Silhoueska Spells out Strength! Newcomer! Linze Silhoueska Mentally Ready! "We came here because we heard that you two were headed here," said Elze. "We hoped that you might be able to help us with our current situation but that's when we were stopped by those animals," added Linze. 'Ah yes Team Star Wolf is members of the Subspace Empire so I would expect no less of them causing trouble," said Fandom. 'But wait who told you we were coming here?" asked Reiko. "From someone by the name of Solid Snake," answered Elze. 'Solid Snake?" asked Fandom. "But he he's not an anime character, where is he now and how did you get to know him?" "We met him within the first three weeks all this started happening, he was investigating some things here in the anime world and that's when we ran into each other," answered Linze. "From what he's told us he's on board something called the Battleship Halberd and overheard the workers talking about you three while in hiding," added Elze. 'Did he say anything else besides us?' asked Reiko. "Well he did mention that you were going after someone named Ridley," answered Linze. "Does he have a clue to where he might be going?" asked Twilight. "I'm pretty sure they said he was headed for the Subspace Base located where the old Academy was," answered Elze. "But that's not right, Ritsu didn't you say that Ridley was head for New National Stadium?" asked Fandom. "I did but I just checked the radar and the grey mask that was on the front of the Battleship Halberd was there," said Ritsu. "So they used Ridley as a decoy," said Twilight. "Damn, they played us!" exclaimed Fandom. "I should've known that the Subspace Empire wasn't going to let us get to Ridley that easy," 'Well there's no point in going out now," said Ritsu. "The building where the old Academy was is pretty far from here and it's already getting dark," "Plus I'm tired," said Reiko. "Yeah, alright we'll rest up tonight and head over to New National Stadium tomorrow, we might be able to make some sort of progress," said Fandom. "Hey you guys wouldn't mind if we tagged along tomorrow would you?" asked Elze. 'We want to pay you back somehow for saving us today," added Linze. "Yeah sure why not, just meet us down here by 10 tomorrow," said Fandom. 'Got it," said Elze. "Well then goodnight everyone!" exclaimed Reiko. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 11: V.S. Ridley > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Fandom bought some supplies for that day while his party waited for the two sisters. After uniting with the two, Fandom's party left the inn for the Stadium. By following the route that Ritsu had chosen for them they reached the Stadium within 30 minutes. When the five reached the Stadium, they could see the entrance was being blocked off by several Scope Primids and two Chain Chomps. Sure enough, The Battleship Halberd could be seen hovering in the sky above the stadium. "Great guards, I knew they wouldn't make it THAT easy," grumbled Fandom. "Weren't they always extremely cautious?" asked Twilight. "Yes, they aren't the type to normally let their guard down when they sense an enemy presence nearby," answered Ritsu. "Great they can sense us, now how are we supposed to get in?" asked Fandom. "Maybe they know," said Linze. The four looked over to her who was peeking out. The other four looked out to see a familiar figure wearing an orange and red power suit with a green hand canon sneaking behind the bushes. "It's Samus," said Reiko. "Who?" asked Elze. "Samus, she's a hero we met back at the Scarlet Devil Mansion," answered Twilight. "Oh she's not alone though," said Fandom. 'What?" asked Reiko. 'She has Fluttershy with her," answered Fandom. "Fluttershy!?" gasped Twilight. She looked out and sure enough the timid yellow pegasi was following the bounty hunter. She noticed them hiding and tapped Samus on the shoulder and pointed in their direction. Samus looked in their direction and waved at them from behind the bushes. The five waved back at her. "Hey I know," said Fandom. "Hmm got an idea?" asked Elze. Fandom poked out his head and waved his arm at Samus. Once she took notice Fandom pointed in the direction towards the entrance where the guards were. Samus looked over then back at them and nodded. "Thank god Samus can read hand and arm signals," sighed Fandom. 'What did you tell her?" asked Linze. 'Get rid of the guards," answered Fandom. "Hey she's going in," said Twilight. The four looked out as Samus snuck up on the guards and took them out with several charge shots. Once the Scope Primids were gone, Fluttershy jumped out of the bushes and approached the two chain chomps. The chomps who prepared to attack soon fell victim to Fluttershy's kind demeanor and lost all will to attack. Once the coast was clear Samus waved them over. "Score," said Fandom. He walked out from behind the wall and walked over to the two with the rest following after him. "Samus Aran," "Fandom, it's good to see you again," said Samus. 'Are you two alright?" asked Reiko. "Feeling much better after that nice massage session," answered Fluttershy as she petted the chomp. 'I assume you're here for the same reason?" asked Fandom. "Guess you could say that," answered Samus. 'Welcome aboard," said Fandom holding out his hand. "Our pleasure," said Samus shaking it. Now joined in with Samus and Fluttershy, Fandom and his group entered the stadium. As they navigated the stadium they continued to battle past enemies until they finally reached the bleachers and stage. "Hmm strange nobody's here," said Elze. "We should start searching," suggested Samus. The others nodded and began making their way down to the stage. Once they got down from the bleachers they began searching for clues that might help them deal with Ridley. After 5 minutes of searching they later regrouped on the stage. "Find anything?" asked Fandom. Everyone shook their heads. "Damn nothing huh," "Fandom," Ritsu called out. Fandom pulled up the menu. "I'm detecting strong enemy presence," 'Where?" asked Fandom. "Above us," answered Ritsu. The group looked up as a large object was falling towards them. 'What is that?" asked Linze. "Don't ask just get out of the way!" ordered Fandom. The group quickly jumped off the stage as the large object came crashing down. "What in Celestia's name was that!?" yelped Twilight. When the dust cleared the group could see a familiar beast with glowing yellow eyes. 'No it can't be," said Fandom. "It is!" exclaimed Samus. "Ritsu I thought you said he wasn't anywhere near here!" exclaimed Fandom. But before Ritsu could answer, Ridley got to his feet and let out an angry roar that filled the entire stadium. "This is Ridley!?" gasped Elze. Ridley quickly turned towards Fandom and hurled a fireball at him. Luckily Fandom quickly avoided the attack. "Everyone scatter, that way he won't be able to focus on just one of us!" ordered Fandom. Everyone obeyed and split up confusing the space pirate leader. Sure enough a large text box appeared followed by the sound of an alarm. BOSS BATTLE However this time no text boxes appeared in front of Fandom, Reiko, or Twilight. "Ritsu what's going on we didn't get our option!" said Fandom. "That's because the game has changed up battle rules for this battle, you have to play this by consecutively attacking Ridley!" said Ritsu. "I see, Twilight Reiko you hear that!?" asked Fandom. "Yes!" answered Twilight. "I'm going in cover me!" announced Reiko. Fandom drew his two crosses and prepared as Reiko lunged Ridley and slashed him with her sword. Ridley let out an angry screech as he spun around and swatted away Reiko with his tail. "Reiko!" Twilight gasped. "Tch, Cross Boomerang!" Fandom announced as he threw his two crosses. But Ridley noticed and jumped up in the air dodging the attack. "Damn it!" cursed Fandom. "I'm not letting you escape!" said Samus raising her arm cannon. She focused her aim and thrusted her arm cannon forward as a stream of light caught itself around Ridley's tail. She pulled her arm back as Ridley was suddenly dragged back down. "Linze I'm going in!" said Elze as two gauntlets appeared on her hands. Linze nodded as she held out her hands and began chanting a spell of sorts. As Ridley tried to get up, Elze jumped up and punched him the back knocking him down. Ridley let out an angry screech just as a huge block of ice fell on top of him and crushing him. The impact had caused a huge a mount of dust to fly up obscuring the view. "They did it," cheered Fluttershy. "Nice team work you two!" said Twilight as she pulled Reiko out of the bleachers. "I-it was nothing," said Elze blushing. She began walking back to her sister, when suddenly Ridley's tail shot out of the dust and penetrated itself through Elze's stomach. "Gah!" "Elze no!" Linze screamed. "He's still not dead yet!?" gasped Samus. Elze coughed up blood as Ridley's tail slowly carried her back towards him as he emerged from the dust. He glared at Elze with his deep yellow eyes and growled. Samus raised her arm canon and began charging up an attack as Ridley held the wounded Elze in front of her with his tail. Samus lowered her canon and glared at him. Suddenly Fandom dashed out and ran towards Ridley holding up both of his crosses. "You're going to pay for that!" Fandom roared. Ridley growled as he swung his tail and threw Elze back at him knocking them both into the bleachers. "Fandom Elze!" Linze exclaimed. As she tried to run towards them, Ridley jumped in front of her and growled. Linze stepped back as Ridley opened his mouth and began charging up a fireball. Just as Ridley finished charging something shot out of the shadows striking the fireball and triggering an explosion in Ridley's face. Ridley screeched as he stepped back holding his face with his claws. "What was that!?" gasped Samus. "Looks like we made it in time," a voice spoke up. Linze turned around to see a young man in a black cloak standing on top of the bleachers. Next to him was girl in a white dress with red on the hems. Her long caramel colored hair flowed in the wind. "Who's that?" asked Reiko wincing. Newcomer! Kirito Accepts you Challenge! Newcomer! Asuna Appears in a Flash! "Those guys are from Sword Art Online!" said Fandom crawling out of hole. Samus looked around as more figures suddenly appeared from the shadows surrounding the stage. Newcomer! Silica Wanders in! Newcomer! Lisbeth The Master Blacksmith! Newcomer! Leafa Fixes you up! Newcomer! Agil Honest Friend! Newcomer! Klein Wants the Leading Role! Newcomer! Sinon Blasts her way in! Ridley let out an angry roar as he spread his wings and jumped into the air. "No we gotta stop him!" said Twilight. "Leave that to us," said Kirito drawing his two swords. "Um a little help somebody, someone is bleeding out right now!" Fandom exclaimed. "I'll handle this," said Leafa. "I'm counting on you," said Kirito. Leafa quickly ran over to Fandom and Elze to check on their condition. "Over here!" Fandom waved her over. Leafa walked up to them as Fandom cradled Elze in his arms. She winced as she placed her hand over the wound. "What do you think?" asked Fandom. 'It shouldn't take me too long," answered Leafa. Fandom watched as Kirito and his friends went up against Ridley to no success. Every time someone went up to him, he would either spit fireballs or swat them away with his tail. Fandom began scanning the stadium to see if he could find anything he could use as a weapon. Then he noticed something glowing in the giant hole that Reiko created after she was knocked back. Fandom got up and ran towards the light while Ridley was distracted by Kirito and his friends. When he reached the light, he saw that a strange object was lodged in the wall and began digging the object out. What he found was a strange orb glowing in a rainbow aura and was in the shape of the Super Smash Bros. Logo. Smiling he got up and jumped down to the stage with the orb in hand. Then while Kirito and his friends kept Ridley busy, Fandom began smashing the orb until it finally broke open. He closed his eyes as he felt a new power surge through his body. This was it, this was HIS time. He looked up and saw that Ridley swatted away Kirito and his friends for the last time. At this point he should've been weakened enough. Time to finish this. "Hey Ridley!" Fandom called out to him. Ridley looked towards in his direction as Fandom walked up to him. He spread out his arms. "Come and get me you reptilian scumbag!!!!" Ridley growled as he spread his wings and charged towards Fandom. Fluttershy yelped and cover her eyes. "Fandom what are you doing!?" yelled Elze who was nearly healed. Everyone looked in Fandom's direction as Ridley charged at him. Then suddenly, swung his right fist upwards into Ridley's chin knocking him into the air. "Whoa!" yelped Klein. Fandom got to his knees as a text box flashed in front of everyone. FINAL SMASH: BOOMERANG BARRAGE Just then 5 other Fandoms popped out of the real Fandom's body and all drew their double crosses as the real did. Fandom bent down and lunged at Ridley followed by the other 5. Soon there was six Fandoms surrounding Ridley. The real Fandom lifted his cross boomerang and threw it followed by the other 5. Soon Ridley was being hit by a wave of cross boomerangs and was losing HP at an alarming rate. Everyone in the stadium watched in awe as this went on for 10 seconds straight. After the final boomerang hit Ridley, all five Fandom clones merged with the real one causing his Cross Boomerang to grow into a much larger size. Fandom raised the glowing boomerang and threw it as hard as possible, sending the crosses flying into Ridley's chest in an X formation followed by a loud screeching before returning to Fandom and shrinking. Fandom descended down and turned around. He raised both crosses in the air as Ridley self destructed in mid air. Then from the cloud of dust, Ridley's limp body fell to the ground with a loud crash. A +2,000 appeared over Fandom's head as a familiar jingle played and a text box appeared. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 11 Atk: 30 Def: 30 HP: 320/320, HP fully restored! You Win! EXP: 2,000 Gold 1,000 Soon Fandom felt old strength returning to his body as the strange energy disappeared. He looked back at everyone who was still staring at him in shock. Embarrassed, Fandom looked down blushing. "He....he did it!!!!" exclaimed Reiko. Soon the once quit stadium erupted with screams of joy and cheers as everyone ran over to him. As everyone congratulated him Fandom pulled up the party member stats. Reiko and Twilight were still level 10 but Fandom has changed. Fandom Lvl: 11 To Next Lvl: 650 EXP Atk: 30 Def: 30 HP: 320/320 Skills: Cross Boomerang Final Smash: Boomerang Barrage "Hey man how did you do that?" Klein suddenly asked. "Oh right I guess this was your first time seeing a Final Smash," said Fandom. "A what?" asked Linze. "A Final Smash, it's a special secret powerful move that one can unleash after breaking a Smash Ball," explained Samus. "It's sort of like our version of a Super Move many would typically see in video games," "Likewise every character in the smashverse has their own unique Final Smash but just like Samus said, it can only be obtained in this case, if you break open a Smash Ball," added Fandom. "A Smash Ball?" asked Silica. "Ritsu will you?" asked Fandom. "Roger," said Ritsu. It didn't take long for Ritsu to pull up an image of a mysterious orb engulfed in a rainbow aura. A horizontal line ran through the lower half of the orb and a vertical line was placed a little bit more to the left side making a strange version of a plus sign or a cross. "This is a Smash Ball, breaking this open will allow a player to use their Final Smash at any given time," explained Ritsu. "However there can only be one of these present in a area at a time," "Interesting, I would like try this myself," said Sinon. 'Well hope you have good luck cause if you can't get this before anybody else, your final smash is gone," said Ritsu. Twilight looked like she wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fluttershy's scream. 'Fluttershy what's wrong?" asked Reiko turning around. She gasped. 'What's up?" asked Klein. Everyone looked behind them and saw Ridley slowly getting his feet. He let out a low growl as he glared at the group. "Are you kidding me even after a Final Smash!?" gasped Fandom. Suddenly Ridley reached and grabbed Fluttershy. "Fluttershy!" Twilight screamed. Ridley let out an angry roar as he took for the skies. Samus attempted to to drag him back down with her grapple beam but missed his tail. Ridley flew to the top of the stadium and flew off with Fluttershy's in his clutches. "No not another one!" exclaimed Reiko. "Ritsu where did Ridley fly off to?" asked Fandom. "He's headed to Academy City," answered Ritsu. "Then that's where we're going," said Fandom. He quickly jumped off the stage and ran up the bleachers. 'Wait for us!" said Reiko. Both Twilight and her ran after Fandom followed by Elze, Linze, and Samus. "Should we go after them?" asked Leafa. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 12: Psychics of Academy City > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ridley flew over Academy city desperately searching for the old warehouse. If Meta Knight was watching from the Halberd, then he should know to head over to the old campus near Kunugigaoka Junior High. That campus may not have been used for years which is the reason why it's perfect for the Empire to set up base there. Meanwhile Fluttershy continued to struggle trying to break free from his grip. 'Will you chill out!?" hissed Ridley. 'Please let me go," whimpered Fluttershy. 'Not by a chance," said Ridley. He winced. "Damn how'd that runt get his hands on a Smash Ball anyways?" As Ridley continued to mumble to himself, the warehouse eventually came into view. "Ah finally," Ridley quickly descended as the roof of the warehouse slowly opened up allowing entry for the beast. "So you've returned," said a voice. "Mewtwo will you stop hiding and get out here?" hissed Ridley. "As you wish," said Mewtwo. He slowly walked out of the shadows with his arms crossed. "Where are the two geezers?" asked Ridley. "Eggman, Wily, and Faba are in their workshop," answered Mewtwo. "What who called us?" asked a voice. Ridley looked over to his left as a tall scientist wearing a red vest and blue glasses walked out. "Are you done with my new body yet?" hissed Ridley. "I could use an upgrade right about now," "Aww poor Ridley did you get your butt whooped?" another voice asked. "Very funny Storm King, you weren't the one who tried to beat that legendary hero everyone is talking about," hissed Ridley. From behind one of the boxes a strange ape like creature walked out. He had grey skin and white fur along with black horns on his head. His blue eyes stared back at Ridley with amusement. "Oh come now at least you got a good look at him," laughed Storm King. "Very funny, oh and before I forget take your miserable pony," said Ridley tossing Fluttershy over to him. "That's the wrong pony you know," said Storm King. 'Oh quit being picky, you said pony so I got you a pony," hissed Ridley. "Ok can you all stop with the racket!?" groaned another voice. The group looked over as a man wearing a white outfit and green glasses walked out from behind the curtain. "Faba are you done with my new body yet?" hissed Ridley. "If you haven't noticed I can't concentrate when there's a lot of noise," said Faba. "Alright listen Ridley got beat which means those heroes will most likely follow him here, if that happens our plans will end up even more wrecked than it already is," said Mewtwo. "So here's plan B," The four huddled around Mewtwo to see what he had to say. "Alright Ridley you did you're part so until your body is complete just try and stay hidden," "Fine,"said Ridley. "If Meta Knight isn't already making his way to the old campus then I'll let him know, I'll take the pony and head over to our second hideout, Storm King if those heroes ever show up we can't let them interfere with Wily, Eggman, or Faba's work so keep them busy," said Mewtwo. "Yeah, yeah sure, sure," said Storm King. "Your tasks shouldn't be that difficult, however if there's a chance that they find this place, Faba I need you to summon HIM," said Mewtwo. "Him, you don't mean?" asked Faba. 'Oh I mean," said Mewtwo. "Now that's settled we can't let those heroes liberate another world from our clutches," Everyone nodded. "Fine then I'll see you soon," said Mewtwo. He picked up Fluttershy and disappeared using teleport. "Well I guess we should get back to work," said Eggman. Everyone nodded in agreement and went back work. "I'm sorry Fandom we've lost him again," apologized Ritsu "Damn Ridley how can he fly so fast?" asked Fandom. At that moment Reiko, Twilight, Elze, Linze, and Samus caught up with him. "Geez don't run so fast," gasped Reiko. 'I'm tired," said Linze falling to her knees. "Sorry ladies, but I couldn't just leave it like this," said Fandom. "Samus is that you?" asked a voice. The group turned towards the direction of voice to see two small boys standing there. One had a yellow and blue striped shirt with a red cap and blue shorts. The second had blue shorts like the first kid but had a yellow and red striped shirt. "Ness, Lucas?" asked Samus. "What are you two doing here?" "We ll we WERE looking for somebody, but looks like we already found him," answered Ness. "Let me guess, it's me," said Fandom. "Yeah how did you know?" asked Lucas. "Because almost everyone's been looking for him," answered Reiko. "Oh well than if that's the case we should take you to see the other three," said Ness. "Other three?" asked Linze "Follow us," said Lucas. The group looked at each other and shrugged. Deciding that this was the best option, they followed the two Psychics to meet up with the three mysterious individuals. They were eventually led to a small park where three figures were standing. Two of them were girls and one was a skeleton. Both girls wore similar brown vests with white sleeves and grey skirts but one girl had two red bows tied to keep her hair in place while the other had short brown hair. The skeleton wore a blue hoodie over a white T-shirt and black shorts and pink slippers. "Hey guys we found them!" Lucas called out to them. The three turned their attention to Fandom and his group. "Which one is this legendary hero that everyone's been talking about?" asked the girl with the double red bows. Fandom raised his hand. "You?" "Um yes," answered Fandom. Suddenly the girl burst out into laughter. "This must be some sort of joke!" she laughed. "It's not," hissed Fandom. "Who are you anyways?" Newcomer! Misaka Mikoto Electrifies the Competition! Newcomer! Kuroko Shirai Judges you! Newcomer! Sans the Skeleton Punishes Evildoers! "Get it now kid?" asked Sans. "So you need me cause you're having trouble with the Subspace Empire I guess?" asked Fandom. 'That's the point but it seems you're not actually here for that are you?" asked Misaka. Fandom looked back at the group as they nodded. So Fandom explained their situation to the five. "So this Ridley guy kidnapped you're friends and you're trying to get them back?" asked Kuroko. Fandom and his friends nodded. "But isn't Ridley technically part of Subspace Empire?" asked Ness. "If that's so, then you'd be helping us liberate this world from the Subspace Empire," "Liberate this world from the Subspace Empire, what a joke!" laughed a voice. Fandom and his friends turned around to see man wearing a white outfit and green glasses. "Who are you!?" gasped Elze. Newcomer! Faba UB Summoner! "Faba from the Aether Foundation!?" asked Fandom. "That's correct," answered Faba. "As for what you said, I'm afraid I cannot let you interfere with our plans," "Then you'll face the wrath of Judgement!" announced Kuroko. "Oh please I wouldn't dare dirty my hands when HE could do it for me," laughed Faba. "He?" asked Lucas. Suddenly a bright light flashed above the groups head as a large hole suddenly appeared in the sky. 'What is that!?" asked Misaka. From within the hole, two large black claws emerged as a large black creature emerged from the hole. 'What is that?!" gasped Twilight. Newcomer! Necrozma Lights up your lives! "Enjoy your futile efforts," laughed Faba. "Aye don't you run from us!" ordered Samus. "Samus forget about him," said Fandom. "But...." stuttered Samus. "We have a bigger threat to worry about," said Fandom. Samus looked up as a large red text box flashed in front of them. BOSS BATTLE "Tch fine," said Samus. The group faced the Ultra Beast as it let out a metallic screech. "Alright y'all let's do this!" exclaimed Fandom. "Yeah!!!!" they all screamed in unison. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Special Chapter: We are Number One! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom was a human who spent most of his time playing video games, watching anime, or surfing the internet. Of course he had friends but that was because they all enjoyed doing the same thing as he did especially one thing, Super Smash Brothers. Back when Brawl came out, Fandom played through the Subspace Emissary Campaign with his friends. But now that Ultimate was on it's way, Fandom was more than excited to go through the new story mode. That excitement was taken to a whole new level when he found a mysterious cartridge in his trash. Now, after being dragged into his Switch he met Reiko. A kitsune who claims that he was chosen to save six worlds from the Subspace Empire and their tyrannical leader Origin. After talking with the emperor of her village he agreed to the dangerous task. But what was going on BEFORE any of this started? Maybe Origin himself can show you. "Sir your new recruits are here," said Lust. "Bring them in," ordered Origins. Lust bowed as he exited the room. Origin turned his chair around to look out the window and into the floating city. "Soon my plans will become reality," The doors opened as four figures walked in. "Ah Wario, Waluigi, and Grounder and Scratch was it?" "We're ready boss," said Waluigi. "Are you though are you?" asked Origin. "Whaddya mean boss?" asked Scratch. "Well first of all, are you actually villains?" asked Origins. 'Well we help Dr. Robotnik do bad stuff," said Grounder. "We hate the Mario Bros." said Wario. "Ok helping and hating isn't good enough," said Origin. "Then what is good boss?' asked Waluigi. "Have ANY of you ever beat a real good guy like a hero?" asked Origin. "No," answered Wario. "Nah," answered Waluigi. "Do any of you plot against someone or at least tried to carry out a plan?" asked Origin. "No," answered Scratch. "Nope," answered Grounder. Origin face palmed himself in disappointment. "Very well, it's obviously clear that I need to teach you four incompetent idiots how to become villains," said Origin. He snapped his finger as the door opened and Lust ran in with a saxophone. "Go ahead," said Origin. Lust nodded as he began playing a really catchy tune. All: Hey! Origin began looking around as the catchy tune began playing overhead. He looked at Lust who was clearly not playing in his saxophone. He looked back at his four recruits as they started dancing All: We are number one! Hey! "Where's that coming from?" asked Origin. "Don't know sir," answered Lust tossing his sax. All: We are number one! "Sir it's your line," said Lust. Origin decided to let it go as he faced the four. Origin: Now listen closely. The four looked over to him, nudging each other. Origin: Here's a little lesson in trickery, this is going down in history! Origin casually lifted a textbook then threw it behind him. Origin If you want to be a villain number one, you have to catch a hero on the run. The four jumped as Origin suddenly appeared next to them. "Go, go, go!" said Origin waving the four away. Confused they ran over to the door. Waluigi yelped as Origin suddenly appeared behind him. Origin: Just follow my moves, and sneak around. Origin slowly crept behind several different pieces of furniture he had in his room as he continued singing. The four looking excited followed after him. Origin: Be careful not to make a sound Origin suddenly stopped next to his desk, causing a domino effect from Wario, Waluigi, and Scratch. The four bumped into each other yelping and screaming. "Shh!" Origin hissed. He noticed that Grounder wasn't with them and looked around the room. "No! Get off of there!" said Origin throwing him off his chair. The music resumed as the four began running around the room. Origin groaned as he slumped in his chair. All: We are number one! Hey! Origin began rounding up the four into the center of the room and ordered them to stay in place as he walked over to his closet. All: Hey! Origin later came back with a large cardboard cutout with the words hero written in black marker and a net. All: We are number one! Wario: Ha! Ha! Ha! Origin: Now look at this net that I just found. He gave the net to the four. Origin: When I say go be ready to throw. Go! The four panicked as they threw the net on Origin. "Throw it at him not me!" Origin hissed pointing to the cardboard cutout. "Ugh let's try something else," Origin grabbed the net and cardboard cutout and threw it back into his closet and returned with a box of banana peels. Origin: Now watch and learn, here's the deal. The four watched as he began throwing banana peels all over the floor. Origin: He'll slip and slide from this banana peel! Origin began laughing as the four attempted to walk over to him only to slip on the peels themselves. "What are you doing!?" hissed Origin. The four scrambled to get back on their feet as they began running around again. All: Hey! For the next few hours Origin watched in disbelief as his four recruits messed up attempts to try and capture a hero. All the while the catchy music continued to play in the background. All: (humming tune) We are number one! Hey! Finally losing his mind, Origin stomped over to the window and spread out his arms. "VILLAIN NUMBER ONE!!!!!" Origin screamed. All: Hey! Origin turned around as the four got back to work. All: Hey! At this point Origin was starting to lose is sanity and began slamming his head on his desk as his four recruits continued to screw up. All: We are number one! Hey! Deciding that he finally has seen enough, Origin stomped over to stop them only to get caught in one of their traps. Before he knew it he was dangling from the ceiling upside down. The four panicked and ran over to help their boss. All: We are number one! We are number one! Origin got up and dusted himself off Origin: We are number one! All: Hey! Hey! Finally the catchy music ended. "Well how did we do?" asked Grounder. Origin groaned as he stomped out of his room. The four looked at each other. "I think we did good," said Wario. > Chapter 13: Psychic or Sidekick > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The hooded figure stopped short in front of the Subspace Base Gates with the princess and her two R.O.B. escorts behind him. He scanned his ID on the panel until a green light flashed. The gates opened allowing entry. The figure walked in as the princess and her escorts followed behind. The doors opened as he approached. Once inside he was greeted by multiple stares from the Waddle Dees and Goombas that was walking around the area. "Hey look, he brought in another one," whispered a Goomba. The figure ignored the chatters from the patrols as he made his way to the boss's office. It wasn't long before he came across a pair of doors that had been guarded by two Darknuts. "Let me in," he ordered. The two Darknut guards opened the door allowing the figure to enter the boss's office. "You're early," said a voice. "At least I brought something back with me," said the figure. "What is it this time?" asked the boss. "Her name is Yumina Urnea Belfast," answered the figure. "She's a Princess to be more specific," "Hmph, you never cease to disappoint me do you Gladion?" asked the voice. The figure removed his hood revealing a young boy with blonde hair that covered his left eye. His remaining right green eye glared at the back of the boss's chair. "When do you plan to release my sister?" growled Gladion. "I'm still thinking on it," said the boss. "You know you keep saying that, but you aren't actually planning to release her are you Enoshima Junko?" asked Gladion. The chair spun around revealing a young woman wearing a black vest with the Subspace Empire Logo pinned to her chest. Her blonde hair was tied back on either side of her head with a black bear pin and white bear pin holding them in place. "Oh please Gladion, what kind of woman do you think I am?" asked Junko. "Just because I'm a member of the Empire doesn't mean I won't keep my promise," "Look I don't care about the Empire, I just want my sister back," growled Gladion. "And you will get her back, in due time," said Junko. "I just need word from Commander Lust and Commander Tempest," Gladion bit his lips trying to hold the urge to punch her. "Now what was it, Yumina right?" asked Junko. "Just throw in the cells with the others," "Yes ma'am," Gladion. He turned around and walked out the door with the two R.O.B. following behind. "Why are you doing this?" asked Yumina. "Please understand, I don't want to do this either," said Gladion. "If I could I would've saved my sister by now," "You aren't really a bad person are you?" asked Yumina. "Even though you're working for the enemy," "I hate the Empire more than anything else," said Gladion. "I'm sorry about your sister," said Yumina. 'Don't be it's not your fault," said Gladion. When they reached the cells, Yumina was led to a cell with four other prisoners. The guard opened the cell and shoved Yumina in and locked the gate. Yumina looked back at Gladion who was staring at her with a sympathetic look. He didn't say anything as he walked away. Necrozma let out a screech as he collapsed on the ground unable to battle. Fandom gasped as he lowered his crosses. A +2,000 appeared over his head as well as Twilight and Reiko. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 12 Atk: 32 Def: 32 HP: 340/340, HP fully restored! CONGRATULATIONS! Reiko Lvl: 11 Atk: 30 Def: 30 HP: 320/320, HP fully restored! CONGRATULATIONS! Twilight Sparkle Lvl: 11 Atk: 30 Def: 30 HP: 320/320, HP fully restored! You Win! EXP: 2,000 Gold 1,000 "Did we do it?" gasped Elze. "I swear if he gets up..." stuttered Reiko. "So much for being an esper," gasped Kuroko. "Well he IS a Psychic type," said Fandom. "What?" asked Ness. Everyone turned their eyes on Fandom. 'Oh right I forgot Necrozma isn't a part of this world," said Fandom. "Wait so Necrozma is Psychic," said Linze. "Yeah or well a Psychic type, which is the same thing I suppose," said Fandom. "You mean to tell us that you knew what abilities this thing had and never bothered to tell us?" asked Misaka. Fandom nodded. "I can't believe you," said Elze. "I'm sorry, please forgive me," pleaded Fandom. "Ah no worries kid," said Sans. "Wait you forgive him?!" asked Lucas. "On one condition," said Sans. "Oh god," mumbled Fandom. "Look kid I know you still have an open slot in your party, if you let me in I'll let you go," said Sans. "Wait what!?" gasped Fandom. "Oh come on I'm not all that bad, plus I like you kid, your cool," said Sans. "Yeah I can tell, but isn't that a bit blunt and why are YOU giving me options?" asked Fandom. "Listen I know it's not everyday that someone asks you to join," said Sans. "But after what I heard about you, I knew that YOUR determination could be the one to replace HERS," "Hers, you don't mean?" asked Fandom. "Kid, she's been taken, if Tori finds out that I was responsible for her abduction then she would kill me," said Sans. "Taken by the empire?" asked Fandom. "She's all we had left, she taught each and every one of my friends that there was more to this world, now she's in danger," said Sans. "If they kill her, well I don't want to have to keep living my life knowing that I could've done more for her," "But doesn't she have the determination to reset?" asked Fandom. "She does, but she made an oath, that she wouldn't do it again," said Sans. "Even if it was an emergency?" asked Fandom. "She knows the consequences of resetting in world she didn't come from," said Sans. "I suppose that's true, but you're strong right?" asked Fandom. "Why not go yourself?" "I've tried, but they saw through my every moves," said Sans. "I can't do this alone now," "Fandom what are you guys talking about?" asked Elze. Fandom looked down. So many thoughts were flying through his head. What was the Empire's motives? What were they trying to accomplish? For a while, the Empire had been acting randomly and nothing they did made any sense. But if someone was in trouble, he couldn't leave them be. "Alright then," said Fandom. "Thanks kiddo, you know, you really do remind me of her," said Sans. "Except more adventurous," Fandom smiled as he held out his hand. Sans was about to take it when Fandom pulled his hand back. "Sans if you really think I'm going to fall for THAT trick then you've got another thing coming," said Fandom. "Heh welp, you got me," said Sans revealing the whoopee cushion. Congratulations! Sans joined your party! "Welcome aboard Sans," said Reiko. "Thanks, glad I could lend a hand," said Sans. "Really?" asked Twilight. "What not into humor?" asked Sans. "I hoped that everyone in this group had a funny bone," "Well no," laughed Fandom. "Oh before I forget, Ritsu is Ridley around here?" "Afraid not, he's gone completely off my radar," answered Ritsu. "Damn, since when?" asked Reiko. "I don't know but there's still one place you haven't checked yet," said Ritsu. "The base where the old Academy stood," said Twilight. "Hopes Peak Academy?" asked Linze. "That's it," said Fandom. "Hey I may not have a brain, but I know exactly where to go," said Sans. "Really?" asked Twilight. "Thank god for Sans, well lead the way," said Fandom. "It was nice meeting you guys," said Linze. "Same here," said Reiko. The group said their goodbyes and began their trip to the Subspace Base lead by Sans. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 14: Rescue Operation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Fandom and his party split up with their friends, Sans led them to the final location. The four stood in front of a large black building with the Subspace Empire logo on the front. Two large metal gates stood in between them keeping out any outsiders trying to break in. "This is it," said Sans. "Ugh such a disgusting color," said Reiko. "Well this is the Subspace Empire we're talking about," said Twilight. "But of course they have a gate keeping us out," groaned Fandom. "I could try hacking into it, but it'll most likely alert the guards," said Ritsu. "Can't Sans or Twilight teleport us in?" asked Reiko. "If we could do that we would've done that by now," said Twilight. "Great so how are we supposed to get in?" asked Fandom. "Allow me," said a voice. The four turned around a young boy wearing a black hoodie and pants with a red fanny pack around his waist. He had blonde hair that covered his left eye, but his right eye was still exposed. "I'm sorry who are you?" asked Reiko. Newcomer! Gladion Doesn't Play Around! Gladion approached the side panel and held up a small card. The lights above the panel flashed green and opened the gates allowing entry to the four. "Whoa," said Sans. "There you go," said Gladion slipping the card into his pocket. "Hey thanks for that," said Fandom. "Don't, I'm just doing what's right," said Gladion. "Although that applies to you too doesn't it?" "I suggest you be careful this place is crawling with guards," "Wait that was an ID right?' asked Reiko. "If that's the case then that means you're working for the Empire," The other three looked over at Gladion with a surprised look. "Quick question, why are you helping us?" "Because I can't stand those guys, I've been following orders from my boss, but they've never even given a chance to see my sister," answered Gladion. "if they're not helping me, then I'm going to get her back myself," "Wait, your sister?" asked Twilight. "Her name is Lillie, she's been taken by the Empire," said Gladion. "Just like her," said Sans. "I don't know where she is now, but what I do know is that Ridley was her abductor," said Gladion. "Ridley!?" gasped Reiko. "Wait you know him?" asked Gladion. "We've actually had some of our friends captured by him," answered Twilight. "What!?" gasped Gladion. "Um sorry to interrupt but, who is this Ridley?" asked Sans. "Ritsu will you?" asked Fandom. Ritsu nodded as she pulled up an image of Ridley. "Hey that thing took one of my friends too!" said Sans. "So it seems Ridley is going around kidnapping girls," said Fandom. "But why?" asked Twilight. "I don't know, maybe we'll find out if we go in there," said Fandom. "Wait now that you mention it, I've captured 5 girls on my own," said Gladion. "Are you serious!?" asked Reiko. "Hey my sister's life is on the line here," said Gladion. 'Where are they now?" asked Fandom. "In this building, come on I'll lead the way," said Gladion. The four looked at each other and nodded as they followed Gladion into the building. "Ridley was supposed to come and get them, but he hasn't appeared so they've been stuck in their cells for a while," As they followed Gladion they walked past Waddle Dees and Goombas who shooting glares at them. Just when Fandom was beginning to feel uncomfortable, Gladion suddenly began quickening his pace. Suppose he didn't like the attention either. He eventually led them to a pair of doors with a sign that read office. Gladion swallowed hard as he threw open the door. The four looked in to see a young women wearing a black vest with cream colored hair sitting at a desk. "Oh Gladion, you're back?" asked the woman. "Yes, and I brought visitors," answered Gladion. He moved out of the way as Fandom and his party walked in. "Oh if it isn't the legendary hero," said the woman. 'Who are you?" asked Twilight. Newcomer! Enoshima Junko Entity of Despair! "Well nice to meet you," she giggled. "Listen Enoshima, I need the keys to the cell," said Gladion. "To free the prisoners?" asked Junko. "Sure why not?" "If you're not going to hand them over then-" Gladion froze. "Wait what?" "You heard me take them," said Junko tossing the keys to them. "You do realize that you just did something like it was nothing," said Gladion. "Yeah so what?" asked Junko. "To be honest I may be your boss, but I'm still a low ranking member, yet they have good pay, the food is amazing, and everybody listens to you," said Junko. "What's wrong with that?" asked Sans. "I'm the queen of despair, not happiness," said Junko. "So yeah I pretty much hate this job and plus I want to cause despair for others but how can I do that when everybody is already in a state of despair?" asked Junko. "Geez she is one messed up lady," said Reiko. "At least she gave us the keys," said Twilight. "So yeah, at this point I don't really care if I get punished, if I can feel never ending despair that's all that matters," laughed Junko. Feeling creeped out, Gladion and the four quickly ran out with the keys. "Geez not even a goodbye," "Man I hate her," said Fandom as they ran down the halls. "My thoughts exactly," said Gladion. Fandom and his party continued to follow Gladion down a flight of stairs that led into the cells where two Hammer Bros were guarding the cells. "Hey stop right their!" said the first Hammer Bro. Although the others stopped, Fandom snatched the keys out of Gladion's hand and kept running. The Hammer Bros threw their hammers at him, but Fandom deflected them with his crosses. Panicking, the hammer bros grabbed another hammer just as Fandom kicked both of them backwards into the wall knocking them out. "Geez so reckless," said Gladion. Fandom began fumbling with the keys as the others ran up next to him. At that same moment a young girl wearing a white dress walked up to them from the other side of the cell. She had blonde hair with two different colored eyes. Her left eye was blue and her right was green. "Mister Gladion?" asked the girl. "Princess!" Gladion gasped. "Princess?" asked Twilight. Newcomer! Princess Yumina Urnea Belfast Summons up Kindness! "Mr. Gladion I knew you would come back," said Yumina. "I couldn't leave you here nor the other four," said Gladion. "Oh yeah didn't you say you captured 5 girls?" asked Reiko. "Yes, the others are in here," answered Yumina. Fandom and the others looked in to see three woman and a young girl leaning against the wall. One was wearing a pink dress and small yellow crown on her head. Her sad blue eyes stared back at them and her blonde hair was like bird's nest. The second was wearing an orange dress and had brown hair and also had blue eyes. The third was wearing a pink and blue samurai's outfit. Her hair was tied back into place by a large red bow. The girl had long silky black hair and was wearing a white dress. "Princess Peach and Princess Daisy?" asked Fandom. "Yes?" asked the woman in the pink dress. "I knew it IS you," said Fandom. "Um sorry are you?" asked Daisy. "I'm Fandom, and these are friends Reiko, Twilight Sparkle, and Sans the Skeleton," answered Fandom. The three looked in and waved at the four. "So you know these two, what about the others?" asked Reiko. 'Sorry but I don't recognize them," answered Fandom. Newcomer! Yae Kokonoe Joins the Battle! Newcomer! Yui The Artificial Intelligence! "Hang in there we're going to get you guys outta here," said Gladion. "Please hurry," pleaded Yumina. Fandom fumbled with the keys until he heard a loud clicking sound. "Got it!" Fandom announced he grabbed the cell's bar and slid the door open as Yumina jumped out followed by the other four. "Ah finally freedom!" beamed Yae. "Alright let's get outta here," said Fandom. The others nodded in agreement. 'Stop right there," a voice spoke up. The group turned around to see a familiar girl blocking the path. "Sakuya Izayoi!" Fandom gasped. "I heard everything," growled Sakuya. "I will avenge the Scarlet's death!" 'Wait, wait you've got us all wrong!" said Twilight. "Don't try to fool me with your lies!" hissed Sakuya. "No you don't understand, they didn't die we helped them escape from the Subspace bomb!" said Reiko. 'What?" asked Sakuya. So Fandom, Reiko, and Twilight explained what happened back at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the villain's attack, Flandre and Remilia's betrayal, and the Subspace Bomb. "How do I know you're not lying?" asked Sakuya. Fandom desperately began trying to find a way to convince her when a message appeared in his menu. Fandom opened up his menu as everyone gathered around him. "Hello Fandom!" Ritsu giggled. "Ritsu where the hell have you been!?" yelped Fandom. "Gathering everyone here," answered Ritsu. "Who and where?" asked Reiko. Ritsu smiled as she got out of the way to show them all the friends they made during their adventure gathered in the emperor's temple. "Whoa what the fuck!?" yelped Fandom. "Hiya Mr. Fandom!" Flandre cheered. "Hi Flandre," said Fandom. "Miss Flandre Scarlet!?" Sakuya gasped. She dashed over and looked over onto Fandom's screen and gasped. "Miss Flandre thank goodness you're ok," "Yeah my sis is here too!" cheered Flandre. Fandom could see Remilia in the distance eating a piece of cake. She looke over and waved at them. "Thank goodness both of you are safe," sighed Sakuya. "By the way what are all of you doing there?" asked Fandom. Suddenly everyone's smiles soon melted away and was replaced by gloomy looks. "The truth is the Subspace Empire invaded Equestria again," said Shining Armor. "WHAT!?" gasped Twilight. "They started dropping these strange bombs in places like Canterlot, Ponyville, the Crystal Empire and vice versa," explained Cadence. "Strange bombs?" asked Fandom. "Yeah, they're big and grey and have these big red Xs on them!" exclaimed Thorax. "Could that be?" asked Reiko. "It's no doubt, the Empire is deploying Subspace Bombs in Equestria," answered Fandom. "It's not just their world too," said Simon. "They deployed one of those bombs at the New National Stadium the second you left," said Sinon. "Some in Academy City too," said Kuroko. "When?" asked Twilight. "About an hour you left, all these black voids started appearing all over the city," answered Ness. Everyone looked at each other with worried looks. "How many are left?" asked Fandom. "We contacted Snake, according to him there are at least two or three more," answered Elze. "Where?" asked Gladion. "One in a local high school where he claims is where the quote on quote the reactor is located," answered Elze. "High School?" asked Peach. "It's called Kunugigaoka Junior High School," answered Kitaro. "That's where the reactor is located," growled Fandom. "And where's the second?" asked Sakuya. "You won't believe this, but it's somewhere within the very building you're in," answered Ritsu. "WHAT!?" they all gasped. "DO you know when it's going to go off?" asked Fandom. "No but if I were you, I'd get the hell outta there," answered Marisa. "Alright, you know what, it's been a while so we're going to head back to the village, we still have some things we want to discuss with you all too," said Fandom. "Alright see you back," said Sakaki. "Bye!" cheered Flandre. The group waved goodbye as the message ended. Everyone looked at each other and nodded. "Let's get outta here," said Fandom. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved > Chapter 15: A Not so Lovely Encounter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom and the gang returned to the village and were greeted with cheers and complements However now was not the time to be praised their were still some damsels that needed to be saved. They quickened their pace as they returned to the temple. The guards noticed them instantly and opened the door as they rushed in. They quickly came to a stop as they were soon greeted by familiar faces. "Mr. Fandom!" Flandre cheered as she ran up to him. "Hello Flandre it's been a while, you been good?" asked Fandom. "Yeah this place is so cool, so much better than the Origin dude's lair," said Flandre. "Is that so," laughed Fandom. "Mario!" Peach exclaimed as she ran past them. "Luigi get over here you green head!" Daisy laughed as she ran over to Luigi. "Oh Elze and Linze!" gasped Yumina. "Yae, and Yumina!" exclaimed Elze and Linze. "Mommy, Daddy!" cheered Yui. "Yui!" Kirito and Asuna gasped in unison. Fandom watched as the reunion began to unfold among the familiars. Even Twilight dashed out to Shining Armor and Cadence followed by Sakuya who was greeted by Remilia and Flandre. "Welcome back my friends!" laughed Sakaki. "Thank you sir," said Fandom. "Isn't it wonderful seeing all these smiling faces?" asked Sakaki. "It sure is, but unfortunately our job is not done yet," said Fandom. He cleared his as he stepped forward. "Everyone can I have your attention!?" The room quieted down as they turned their attention towards Fandom. "As much as I hate to interrupt this family/friend reunion we still have much to do!" Everyone even the Emperor listened as Fandom explained everything, from Ridley's abductions, to the reactor located in high school. "I'm sorry to say but we must head out at once if we are to save these damsel's lives so we're going to need all support from you," said Fandom. "No worries, we'll always be there to cheer you on," said Linze. "Wish us luck my friends," said Fandom. The four waved goodbye as they departed for the anime world once more. "So we were once again betrayed," said Lust. "Damn, if we keep losing members their resistance will only grow larger," growled Tempest. "Forget it, right now protecting the reactor is our first priority, dealing with the traitors comes last," said Lust. "Tch fine," scoffed Tempest. Lust looked up as the Battleship Halberd hovered above the old campus in the dark clouds. "Commander Lust someone approaches," said a Goomba. "Very well," said Lust. "Bring them here, I would like to do battle with them," The Goomba bowed before walking off. "This outta be interesting," laughed Lust. Fandom and his party followed the Goomba as he led them to the two Commanders. "Nice of you to show," said voice. The Goomba quickly left the scene as two figures approached them. One was a young man with blonde hair and sparkling green eyes. He wore a black robe with the Subspace Empire logo printed on it. The second was a pony with a Fizzypop colored overcoat. Her Mohawk like red mane and tail flowed in the wind. She wore a black metallic armor and her deep turquoise eyes stared at them intently. Her broken horn let off tiny sparks like electricity. "So you two are the Commanders that are guarding the reactor," said Fandom. Newcomer! Commander Lust Spreads the Love! Newcomer! Commander Tempest Shadow Storms in! "This young boy catches on quick," said Lust. "Indeed and I assume you're this legendary hero that everyone's been talking about?" "That's right, as for that reactor," said Fandom. "Sorry kid, but we are not letting you lay a single scratch on it," said Tempest. "Fine, if you're not going to move, then we'll force our way through," said Fandom drawing his two crosses. Reiko drew her sword as Twilight and Sans got into position. BOSS BATTLE "It's been a while," said Fandom selecting the fight option. Cross Boomerang. However instead of allowing him to attack,another text box appeared. Select Enemy Fandom looked up to see red arrow pointing at Lust and no arrows pointing at Tempest. "Ah so enemy selection is a thing now," said Fandom. He selected Lust and raised his crosses. Fandom used Cross Boomerang on Lust. As usual the attack struck Lust four times before returning to Fandom. A -320 Combo 4x appeared over his head. Fandom backed up as Reiko took his place. sword Strike, Burst Barrage. Select Enemy. Reiko selected Lust and lifted her sword. Reiko used Sword Strike on Lust. Reiko rushed forward and jabbed Lust with the tip of her sword. A -230 appeared over his head as she retreated back. Twilight took her spot as she selected fight. "To be honest, I don't want to have to do this, but it looks like I don't have a choice," said Twilight as she selected Tempest. Twilight used Magic Blast on Tempest. Twilight's horn began to glow in a purple aura as a ball of energy formed in front of her.She hurled the energy ball at Tempest as a -230 appeared over her head. She moved back as Sans took her place. "I've always wanted to try this," said Sans. Bone Barrage, Telekinesis, Gaster Blaster, Mercy Sans's right eye flashed in a blue light as his left eye disappeared. Select Enemy. "You two are going to have a bad time," said Sans selecting Tempest. He hurled the bones at Tempest as a -300 Combo 6x appeared over her head. Tempest winced as her HP bar dropped halfway. "Damn Sans you're strong!" said Fandom switching out with him. "Heh I knew that skele-ton of work would pay off," snickered Sans. Reiko and Twilight looked at him with an expression showing that they didn't appreciate his sense of humor. Player Turn End Enemy Turn "Heh the only thing you're going to be laughing at is your failure," laughed Lust. Lust used Chocolate Bomb on Sans He waved his hands as four chocolate appeared around him. He hurled them at Sans only to miss all the attacks. "What?" he asked confused. "What you think I'm just going to stand there and take it?" asked Sans. "Ugh you fool, let me show you how it's done," groaned Tempest. Tempest used Plasma Blast on Sans. Tempest's horn began to spark as she hurled a blast of electricity at Sans only for him to dodge the attack. "What, you think I'm just going to stand there and take it?" asked Sans. Tempest growled as she kicked the ground in frustration. Enemy Turn End Player Turn. "It's better to take out Tempest first probably," said Fandom. Fandom used Cross Boomerang on Tempest. He threw the crosses and watched them fly back into his hands as a -310 Combo 4x appeared over her head. Tempest let out a pained groan as her HP bar fell to 0. She collapsed on the ground as a +2,000 appeared over Fandom's head. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 13 Atk: 34 Def: 34 HP: 360/360 HP fully restored! "One down, one to go," said Reiko switching out. Reiko used Sword Strike. She thrusted her sword forward jabbing it into Lust as a -230 appeared over his head. "How'd you like that?" boasted Reiko. But when Lust looked up he had tears in his eyes. "That hurt!" whimpered Lust. Reiko swallowed hard and scratched her eyes to make sure she was seeing things right. It was no doubt, Lust looked extremely cute. She blushed as she dropped her sword. "Reiko what's wrong?" asked Fandom. "He's....too...cute," stuttered Reiko. "What?" asked Fandom. A text box appeared in front of them. Reiko is now Infaturated "Heh that must be my ability," laughed Lust. 'What?" asked Fandom. "Hey they don't call me Lust for nothing, too bad it only affects girls though," said Lust. Fandom growled. This freak just used some sort of love spell to infaturate Reiko. "Oh you're going to pay big time, Twilight let this freak have some," said Fandom dragging Reiko back. Twilight nodded as she took her place. Twilight used Magic Blast. A -230 appeared. Twilight quickly changed places with Sans before she too caught the effect. Sans used Bone Barrage. -300 Combo 6x. Fandom watched as Lust's HP bar fell down to 0. A +2,000 appeared over Sans's head CONGRATULATIONS! Sans Lvl: 11 Atk: 30 Def: 30 HP: 320/320, HP fully restored! You Win! EXP: 2,000 Gold: 900 Reiko who had hearts for eyes suddenly came back to her senses as the text box appeared. "Did we win?" asked Reiko. 'Yeah somehow," said Twilight. "Amazing!" a voice beamed. The four turned towards the voice to see Samus, Elze, Linze, Yumina, and another person they've never seen before walk up to them. "Samus, what are you guys doing here?" asked Fandom. "Sorry, we were so excited to see how things turned out so we watched you guys from the shadows," answered Linze. "Alright, but how exactly did you guys get here?" asked Twilight. "And who's that? Newcomer! Touya Mochizuki Lends a Hand! "I've heard about you guys from Elze," said Touya. "Well I wouldn't expect anyone who doesn't know us at this point," said Fandom. "But before that," He turned towards Lust and Tempest who were tied up. "What?" asked Lust. 'Where is the reactor and the girls that Ridley kidnapped?" asked Fandom. "Tch they're in the school house," sneered Lust. "Thank you," said Fandom walking towards the building. 'Don't think you've won yet, Lord Origin surely will avenge our failure!" exclaimed Tempest. Fandom and his group ignored her threat and entered the school. They found the reactor in room 3-E where they also found Chihiro Fujisaki, Fluttershy, and two other girls tied up and gagged. Fandom looked at Reiko, Sans, and Twilight and nodded. The three quickly ran over to the girls and began undoing their restraints while Fandom picked up the reactor and threw it on the ground shattering it. A loud howling echoed throughout the area as the dark clouds covering the sky suddenly dispersed revealing a nice sunset in the distance. 'Mission Accomplished," said Fandom dusting off his hands. 'Thank you for saving us," said Fujisaki. "No problem," said Fandom. "By the way those two," said Fandom pointing towards the two girls. Newcomer! Lillie Shows her Cute Side! Newcomer! Frisk is Determined! "We can't thank you enough," said Lillie. 'Don't mention it," said Fandom. "By the way, your brother was looking for you," said Reiko. "Is he here?" asked Lillie. "No but we can take you to him," answered Twilight. "Hey kid, you should come with us too," said Sans. "I will," said Frisk. "Wait you guys didn't mention how you got here," said Fandom. "Samus's Gunship, it's pretty big despite it's small size," answered Yumina. "Well then let's go, I'm tired after that battle," said Fandom. The others nodded in agreement. As Fandom and the others were walking towards the gunship, they could see the Battleship Halberd fly past their head as it headed to it's next destination. Lust and Tempest remained in their restraints as they watched Samus's gunship take off. 'Well now what?" asked Tempest. "Just watch this outta do it," snickered Lust. He wriggled his hands until a small walkie talkie fell out. He hit the power button on the device as a voice spoke up. "Hello?" asked the voice. "Eggman those guys are tougher than we thought, they got us good," said Lust. "Well I suppose it's time to use THAT," said Eggman. "Yes it's time Eggman," snickered Lust. He grew silent for a moment before giving out an order. "Begin operation Air Pursuit code name, Meta Ridley," Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress saved > Chapter 16: Meta Ridley > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fandom sipped his cup of tea as Samus's gunship made a one trip back. He was completely exhausted from the battle against Lust and Tempest. He was glad that it was finally over but his mission was still only beginning. Considering that he had spent most of his time here pursuing Ridley he realized that he didn't have much time to appreciate this world's beautiful nature and scenery. "You tired kid?" asked Sans. "Yeah finally glad that's over," answered Fandom. "Hey look kid, I can't thank you enough for saving Frisk with me," said Sans. "Don't, we're friends after all," said Fandom. "You got a good soul kid," chuckled Sans. "Um Fandom," said Reiko walking up to him. "What's up?" asked Fandom. He looked up to see had averted her gaze and was blushing. "You won't tell anybody what happened back there will you?" she asked. Fandom sighed. It seems like she still has gotten over the fact that she fell in love with the enemy. 'Yes Reiko your secret's safe with me," sighed Fandom. "Thank you," said Reiko blushing even more. "Geez she's taking it rough," said Sans. "No kidding," said Fandom. "Fandom," said Ritsu. "Yeah?" asked Fandom. "I know this is sudden but, I've just scanned a large area of this world because I wanted to learn more about it, but after the process was complete, my program had caught onto something," explained Ritsu. 'What is it?" asked Fandom. "It appears we're being followed," said Ritsu. "By what exactly?" asked Fandom. "I don't know, but whatever it is, it's big," answered Ritsu. "I would try and scan the object myself, but I figured I would want everyone to know about this, do you think you can upload me to computer on Samus's gunship?" "I can try," said Fandom. He got up and walked over to Samus. "Hey Samus, Ritsu wants to show us something, do you think I can message her to your computer?" "Yeah sure just send it and I'll pull it up," answered Samus. Fandom opened his menu and opened the messages and typed in Samus Gunship Computer for the destination and attached Ritsu before hitting send. Soon a notification appeared on the Gunship computer screen. Samus went over and opened it as Ritsu popped up. "Hey it worked," said Fandom. "Great, ahem excuse me everyone can I have your attention?" asked Ritsu. Everyone soon turned their focus on Ritsu. "Whoa Ritsu," said Twilight. "Guys listen up, Ritsu wants to speak," said Fandom. "Alright, so most of you know that because we've been pursuing Ridley this entire time, we haven't gotten a chance to explore this world as much, well I've wanted to gather data for reasons of my own and did a scan of a large area, but I soon found out that my program had picked up something," explained Ritsu. "What is it?' asked Chihiro. "For the past 30minutes, something or someone has been following us, I don't know exactly what it is but it's big," answered Ritsu. "I figured that I should let you all know about this as soon as possible so I had Fandom message me to the computer on Samus's Gunship," "Hey Ritsu, this gunship should have a rear camera, do you think you can pull that up?" asked Samus. "Sure thing," answered Ritsu. She closed her eyes and stepped off to the side as a brief image of what was behind the gunship appeared next to her. "This is it," said Ritsu. The group moved stepped forward to get closer. Sure enough some sort of large object was in the distance and was following them. "What is that?" asked Elze. "Ritsu zoom in," said Fandom. "Roger," said Ritsu. The screen cut to static for a short moment but when it came back, two glowing yellow eyes glared at them menacingly. "Christ Almighty!" yelped Frisk. "Too close Ritsu!" exclaimed Fandom. "Apologies everyone," said Ritsu. The screen cut to static once more but when it came back, the y could see Ridley flying at them roaring angrily. "Ridley!?" yelped Fandom. Fluttershy yelped as she ran behind Yumina. 'But I thought you beat him," said Elze. "I did, I don't know why he's back now of all times!" exclaimed Fandom. "Fandom, it appears this isn't the same Ridley you fought before," said Ritsu. "According to my program he's been upgraded into a much more frighting beast," "Wait upgraded?" asked Linze. "Yes, his attack and defense has been increased drastically and he's a lot more faster and agile than before," explained Ritsu. "He also has a new arsenal of weapons at his disposal," "We can't let something like that into the village!" exclaimed Reiko. "Wait, I have an idea," said Touya. "Don't explain just do it!" said Fandom. Touya stepped forward and extended his right arm. "Gate!" he exclaimed. Suddenly a large multi colored portal appeared several yards in front of them. "In there!" "Step on it Samus!" Fandom ordered. Samus pulled back the wheel as her gunship shot forward into the portal. Meanwhile Meta Ridley stopped short as the portal vanished. Growling he was about to turn back when he saw the gate that led back to the village. Smirking he flew towards the gate. Sakuya watched as Flandre ran around chasing Touya's pet tiger he had called Kohaku. Meanwhile Princess Peach and Daisy sat lounging chairs talking about things that no one else would be interested while Kirito and his friends were talking with Mario, Luigi, and Megaman about their experience in Smash. At that moment bright light flashed above them as a portal opened up and Samus's gunship shot out. Everyone stopped their activities immediately and watched as the Gunship decreased in speed and did a U-turn to avoid hitting trees as it slowly came back and began descending. "They're back!" chirped Flandre. Everyone ran over to the gunship to congratulate them for their success. The hatch at the bottom of the ship opened up as Fandom scrambled out along with everyone else in the ship. "Ha....ha...looks like we made," gasped Fandom. "Welcome back everyone," said Sakuya walking up to them. "Hmm is something wrong Mr. Fandom?" asked Flandre. "Yeah, you looked like you just ran 100 miles," said Klein. "No we're good," Fandom nervously laughed. But he was immediately proven wrong when Ridley's cry suddenly echoed throughout the area. "What was that?" asked Lisbeth. "I can't believe he followed us all the way here!" gasped Samus. "Who?" asked Peach. "Hey master is everything alright?" asked Kohaku. At that moment everyone from inside the temple came rushing out along with the emperor. "Hey we just heard a loud cry, is everything alright out here?" asked Cadence. "No nothing's alright," answered Twilight. "What happened?" asked Simon. Suddenly another loud cry rang out as the villagers all stopped and looked towards the hill that led to the gates. At that moment Ridley flew over the hills and stopped in front of the village. He let out an angry roar throwing the villagers into a panic. "Ridley but I thought you already beat him," said Daisy. "I did, but this isn't the same Ridley from before," explained Fandom. 'There's more than one!?" asked Shining Armor. "Which Ridley is this then?" asked Klein. Newcomer! Meta Ridley Upgrades! Meta Ridley growled as he looked directly at Fandom. He pointed one of his claws at him and hissed. "YOU!" "Me?" asked Fandom. "This is revenge for last time!" Meta Ridley roared. "Wait, wait, wait, wait!" Fandom pleaded. But Meta Ridley ignored him as he flew down towards him. "Scatter!" Fandom yelled. Everyone dispersed as Meta Ridley crashed on the ground destroying Samus's gunship in the process. He turned around to face Fandom and roared at him. Panicking, Fandom yelped and ran off as Meta Ridley flew after him. "Come on Ridley give me a break!" Fandom screamed. "I'LL CRUSH YOU!!!!!!" Meta Ridley roared. "Fandom's in trouble," said Twilight. "Guards!" Sakaki ordered. At that moment a swarm of guards poured out of the temple to save Fandom. "We'll help as well," said Kirito drawing his swords. "Aww yeah more action!" beamed Marisa jumping onto her broom. "Let's-a go!" said Mario. "Oh yeah!" said Luigi. "We're ready!" announced Touya. "Mister Fandom, we'll save you!" beamed Flandre. The group waited as Fandom came running back with Meta Ridley in pursuit. Fandom ran past them as Meta Ridley approached. "Let's-a Go!" said Mario. With that everyone lunged at Meta Ridley.
