The world connecting all these famous icons is normally a land of peace. But when a mysterious force threatens them and their entire world, they must all put their differences aside to stop this force from destroying everything they hold dear. Curre...

In the midst of a large plain of green grass and open fields, a column of heavenly blue light shined down from the sky onto the ground. When the light faded, the angel Pit and the plumber Mario found themselves on the ground.
"Hey, we're back!" Mario said with excitement as he looked around the familiar-feeling land.
"Yeah. Sure feels weird being down here. I don't come down to the surface that much...or at all really."
"I guess being an angel means you're always in the clouds."
Pit chuckled, "Pretty much," His look became curious and he looked at the sky, "One thing's still weirding me out, though. Lady Palutena said she had sensed that someone else had used the portal before we arrived at the temple. Who do you think that was?"
Mario thought about it for a moment, "I'm not sure. Maybe one of those creatures found it and sent itself down here."
"Hmm, you're probably right," His demeanor grew serious, "Anyway, back to business. Now that we're on the surface, we'll be able to cover much more ground. And if we're going to figure out what's going on, we have to find that robot."
"Right, let's go!"
With that, the two immediately set off.
"Hey Mario," Pit said during their run.
"Yes?"
"That ship we saw chasing after that other one, you know who that was?"
"Yes, it belongs to a friend of mine named Fox."
"Fox? Oddly specific name." "Well, if this Fox guy was chasing after that ship, it's likely that this threat has spread farther than we thought. Who knows who else will get involved in this."
"I don't know, but I hope they'll be safe."
"Same here."
The two continued on until they came across the creatures, and having no other option, they had to fight their way through. Some familiar enemies such as the Primids, Feyeshs, Poppants and Spaaks were there, but there were some interesting new ones as well.
The first were strange humanoid creatures with thin green bodies and what looked like a blow dryer for a head with beady black eyes called Borboras. When it caught sight of them, it let out a huge gust of wind that pushed them with great force. It didn't seem to tire out, so they had to wait for an opening to strike. And they saw that when the creature couldn't see them, it would gleefully skip around. Definitely one of the stranger ones they found.
At least until they found the next one.
A large, fat chicken looking creature called a Ticken. When they first saw it, they were dumbfounded. They had no idea what on Earth they were looking at. But they were taken even more off guard when they saw how it fought. Despite it's large size, it was able to move rather quickly and hit them with powerful headbutts using the crest on their heads and actually lifting up their bodies with their tiny wings to slam them into the ground. It also proved to be incredibly sturdy, only Mario and Pits stronger attacks seemed to make it flinch. But the absolute strangest thing about it came when they defeated it. Unlike all the other creatures that evaporated into spores, when they defeated one of these things, they literally broke apart and released a tiny yellow bird which then flew away. It was easily the weirdest thing they ever saw, and it raised so many questions as to what exactly these creatures are.
The last new creature they encountered couldn't exactly be considered new. It was a Primid, but a different type of Primid. For one, it's body was red as supposed to green. And rather than using physical attacks and creating weapons to attack, these Primids attacked by spewing fire at them in short burst and large spews. Though it seemed to be easily distracted and took some energy in order for it to attack, so it wasn't anymore different to handle than normal Primids. But it does pose the theory of other types of Primids they will encounter.
As the two defeated the enemies and continued down the path, they saw a mysterious object floating overhead. Closer examination revealed it.
"The Ancient Minister!"
The two gave immediate pursuit after it. Though it seemed to notice their presence, for when Mario jumped up to grab it, it floated just out of his reach. Pit jumped up, getting a boost by jumping off of Mario's head, but it wasn't enough to grab the Ancient Minister.
"FOOLS. YOU CANNOT HOPE TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE SUBSPACE," It taunted them before flying off into the distance.
Pit stared at the robot as it flew off, anger burning in his eyes, "That thing's not getting away so easily," He heard a groan behind him, turned around, and saw Mario sprawled out on the ground on his stomach. He had momentarily forgotten the stunt he pulled when trying to get the Ancient Minister, "Oops, sorry about that Mario. Are you okay?" He asked helping him sit up.
Mario sat up, brushing the dust off him and shaking off the pain in his head, "Yeah, I'm okay," He stared at the angel in confusion, "But, why didn't you fly after him?"
Pit sighed, "This was actually what I was going to tell you when we were in Skyworld. You see, my wings...don't exactly work."
Mario thought about what he meant for a moment, then it hit him, "You...can't fly?"
Pit shook his head before looking off into the direction the Ancient Minister went. Mario couldn't really see, but he seemed to be depressed. But when he spoke, it was in that usual tone of his, "We can't let the Ancient Minister escape, we got to keep going."
Pit took off in the direction of the Ancient Minister and Mario followed after him. He was still curious about a few things, but he'll have to wait until a better time before he can get those answers.
