The Smash Legends, having vanquished the fiery Lord Thamuz, continued their ascent through the crumbling Abyssal Castle. The path ahead was fraught with danger, but their resolve was unbreakable. They moved with caution, aware that each step brought them closer to the final confrontation with the Voidbringer and Dark Hanzo.

As they climbed higher, the air grew colder, and the oppressive darkness seemed to thicken. The walls of the castle, once grand and imposing, were now marred by the chaos unleashed by the meteor strike. Yet, despite the destruction, a foreboding energy radiated from the rooftop above.

Dr. Cozy led the way, his eyes scanning for any signs of ambush. "Stay alert, everyone. We are nearing the heart of the Voidbringer's power."

Hanzo nodded, his grip firm on the elemental emblems. The power within them gave him strength, but he knew that their greatest challenge was yet to come. The stairs seemed endless, each step echoing with the weight of their mission.

Suddenly, a figure materialized from the shadows, blocking their path. Tall and imposing, with eyes that glowed like the void itself, stood Arculus, the Voidbringer's enforcer. His presence exuded an aura of pure malevolence, and his armor, dark and gleaming, seemed to absorb the very light around him.

"Welcome, interlopers," Arculus intoned, his voice was a chilling whisper that seemed to resonate from the depths of the abyss. "You have come so far, but this is where your journey ends hete. The Voidbringer will not be denied, but to let you all to fall back!!"

Hanzo stepped forward, his stance ready for battle. "Arculus!! This is our only way that we fight for the light, and for the multiverse. You will not stand in our way, but despite becoming defeat against us."

Arculus laughed, a hollow sound that echoed through the darkened hall. "Foolish mortals. You cannot comprehend the power you face. I will crush you, and your light will be extinguished."

With a swift motion, Arculus unleashed a wave of dark energy, the force of which sent the Smash Legends and their allies scrambling. Dr. Cozy with Hanzo and Kirby responded with their attacks, Hanzo combined the power of fire, ice, and lightning, clashing against the void's might. The battlefield became a chaotic dance of light and darkness, each side vying for dominance.

Mario, Link, Samus, Pikachu, and Donkey Kong joined the fray, their attacks coordinated and precise. Mario's fireballs and Link's arrows, Samus's advanced weaponry, Pikachu's electrifying speed, and Donkey Kong's raw strength combined in a symphony of destruction. But Arculus was a formidable foe, his dark magic and sheer power pushing them to their limits.

The battle raged on, each strike and counterstrike shaking the very foundations of the castle. Arculus moved with supernatural speed and strength, his dark energy creating barriers and projectiles that tested the heroes' resilience. Hanzo could feel the strain, the weight of the darkness pressing down on them.

Drawing upon the elemental emblems, Hanzo focused his energy. With a shout, he unleashed a powerful combined attack of fire, ice, and lightning. The elemental forces surged towards Arculus, catching the dark enforcer off guard. Seizing the moment, Kirby inhaled the energy and transformed, adding his own unique power to the assault.

The combined might of the Smash Legends team proved too much for Arculus. With a roar of frustration, the dark enforcer staggered back, his armor cracking under the pressure. But instead of falling, he retreated, his form dissolving into the shadows.

"RAHHH!! You think i were defeated in that moment?! HAH!! This is not over yet!!" Arculus's voice echoed as he vanished. "I will see you on the rooftop. There, your end awaits."

Breathing heavily, the Smash Legends regrouped, their bodies battered but their spirits unbroken. Hanzo looked to his comrades, their faces reflecting the same determination he felt. They had driven Arculus back, but the final battle was still ahead.

Dr. Cozy spoke, his voice steady. "Now from this exciting part we've been waiting for this moment... Together, we will face them and end this darkness, ONCE!! And for all..."

With renewed determination, the Smash Legends team with the Nintendo characters guiding them, continued their ascent. The staircase seemed shorter now, each step bringing them closer to the ultimate confrontation. As they neared the rooftop, the oppressive darkness gave way to a strange, foreboding light.

Finally, they reached the rooftop, a vast expanse under a sky filled with swirling dark clouds. Standing at the center, radiating an aura of pure malevolence, was Dark Hanzo, his eyes glowing with an unholy light. By his side, Arculus stood ready, his dark energy coiling around him.

"So, you have arrived, Pesky Worms, with that boy, Hanzo Sakurai..." Dark Hanzo said, his voice a twisted mirror of Hanzo's own. "Your path lends to a haze of death and your squads can't see everything!! EVERYTHING Hahaha!! You really exactly what it means when you came up to the rooftop? This will be your grave."

Hanzo stepped forward, the elemental emblems glowing in his hands. "Screw yourself with your Guardian side, We fight for the light, for the future of the multiverse. I know you were controlling my inner spirit but, This ends here and now."

With those words, the final battle began, the clash of light and darkness echoing across the rooftop as the fate of the multiverse hung in the balance.
