The dawn's first light bathed the rooftop of the Abyssal Castle in a golden glow, a stark contrast to the darkness they had just vanquished. The Whole Smash Bros. stood victorious, the weight of their triumph lifting their spirits even as their bodies bore the marks of the fierce battle. Hanzo, breathing heavily, took a moment to reflect on the journey that had led them here.

"These could be useful," Hanzo mused, turning to his comrades. "We must ensure they do not fall into the wrong hands again."

Mario nodded, his expression serious. "Agreed. But we should get out of here. This place is falling apart."

As if on cue, a deep rumble shook the rooftop. Cracks began to spiderweb across the stone, and chunks of debris started to fall from the higher towers. The meteor strike, combined with the battle’s ferocity, had weakened the castle’s structure. The Abyssal Castle was beginning to collapse.

"Do you feel that lad's?! Because We need to move, now!" Dr. Cozy shouted, urgency in his voice.

They sprang into action, racing towards the stairway they had ascended. The once grand corridors were now a maze of falling debris and shifting floors. Hanzo led the way, his newfound items securely fastened to his belt, the elemental emblems guiding him through the chaos.

As they descended, the castle’s collapse intensified. Walls crumbled, and entire sections of the structure fell into the abyss below. The air was thick with dust and the sound of destruction. Despite the danger, the group moved with purpose, their unity and determination driving them forward.

"Everyone, Stay close and keep moving!" Link called out, his keen eyes scanning for a safe path.

Samus used her advanced visor to navigate through the dust and debris, guiding Pikachu and Donkey Kong who brought up the rear. Kirby, his form adaptable as ever, floated above the worst of the destruction, ready to assist if needed.

They reached the lower levels of the castle, where the destruction was less severe but still treacherous. The ground shook with every step, and the sound of collapsing stone echoed around them. Hanzo could see the exit up ahead, a glimmer of light through the darkness.

"Alright, We’re almost there!" he shouted, pushing forward.

Just as they neared the exit, a massive section of the ceiling began to collapse, threatening to cut off their escape. Hanzo acted quickly, summoning the power of the elemental emblems. With a focused burst of energy, he created a shield of ice and lightning, holding the debris at bay long enough for the group to pass through.

They burst out into the open air, just as the Abyssal Castle began to crumble entirely behind them. The ground trembled one last time before the ancient fortress collapsed into a massive pile of rubble, disappearing into the abyss from which it had risen. The dark stronghold was no more.

Breathing heavily, the heroes stood at the edge of the chasm, watching as the dust settled. The sky above was now clear, the oppressive darkness lifted. The multiverse was safe, and the threat of the Voidbringer had been vanquished.

Hanzo turned to his friends, their faces reflecting a mixture of relief and exhaustion. "My goodness, A whole castle was just a piece of scrap... Guys, we did it..." he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Together, we defeated the darkness, and bring glory to our whole destiny."

Mario placed a hand on Hanzo’s shoulder, a smile breaking through his fatigue. "Of course, We couldn’t have-a done it without you, Hanzo. You led us to-a victory."

Dr. Cozy stepped forward, his eyes scanning the horizon. "The multiverse owes you all a great debt. But remember, this is just the beginning. There will always be new challenges and new threats. But together, we will face them. You know what this is Hanzo, this is our smash..."

As the heroes stood together, united in their triumph, Hanzo looked at the items he had taken from his dark counterpart. He knew that these relics held great power, and with the right guidance, they could be used to protect the multiverse from future threats.

With a renewed sense of purpose, the Smash Legends began their journey back, their spirits high despite the trials they had faced. The Abyssal Castle was no more, but their bonds of friendship and unity would endure, lighting the way for whatever challenges lay ahead.
