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...

Travelers in the wide open desert usually receive one of two outcomes. They either find themselves lost in the wide open plans, or they come across the a discovery unlike anything they were expecting. And for these three knights, they seem to find themselves in the middle as they explored the wide open desert with nothing but sand and scorching Sun guiding their path.
Their search for the Ancient Minister had led them out to the wide open desert, and the long journeys were already beginning to tire the three knights out. Yet the time it took them to get here gave Meta Knight plenty of time to answer all the questions he had about the prince and his mercenary friend.
"Still, hard to believe you're actually a prince, Marth."
Marth gave a gentle smile and chuckle, "Do not fret over it. You're not the first one to be fooled by my appearance. I've grown quite used to it by this point."
"So that's why you work so hard to protect him, Ike?"
"Exactly. Because of how he looks, people think they can very easily take advantage of him. And this sickens me, so, in the meantime, I'll be playing bodyguard for a bit."
"And you have no arguments for this, Marth?"
"Not at all. Aiku-kun is such a great person, and I'm glad to always have him with me," He gave his friend the brightest smile Meta Knight had ever witnessed on any human being.
The three knights continued on until they reached the edge of a rocky cliff, letting them see the entirety of the vast wide open desert, relishing in the beige sand and harsh gravel that laid throughout, the light breeze flowing through their hair and clothes.
"Kono yona kodai-sa ga myoni utsukushidesu..." Meta Knight heard the prince mutter under his breath.
Ike noticed his confusion and spoke, "Marth, you should stick to English. He barely understands a thing you're saying."
Marth noticed this and gave a nervous chuckle as he looked down at the knight, "Ah, sorry. I'm so used to being around Aiku-kun I forget others don't understand Japanese as well as he does."
"It's fine."
"Guys, take a look over there."
Catching their attention, Ike pointed into the distance of the vast desert. The could see something gliding over the land at breakneck speed. It was too far gone to make out what it was, but it seemed like a large metallic object.
"What is that?"
"Hard to say. But anything mysterious recently just proves to be a threat."
"But, how can you tell that's a threat?"
"Only one way to find out," Without a second thought, Ike jumped off the edge of the cliff.
"Aiku-kun!" Marth tried to stop him, but was too late, and let out a frustrated sigh, "I wish he wasn't so reckless..."
"Hmm. Well, guess we have no choice."
Meta Knight followed after Ike, and, rather hesitantly, Marth did as well. Once all three soldiers made it down, they immediately chased after the strange object.
The knights weren't surprised to soon after run into the strange creatures, and they had no choice but to mow them down. They faced off against Primids, Buckots, Gamygas, Bytans, Trowlons, Roaders, Auroros', Mites, TowTows, Bombeds, and some new additions.
The first were creatures encased in large silver metallic tanks with a claw arm attached to the top called Armanks. The claw arm would extend out of the top and attempt to attack them. But when they destroyed the arm, the tank opened in the middle and revealed a round green two eyed body. In this state it was vulnerable to attack, but they had to make quick work before the tank closed and they had to re-destroy the arm.
The other was another new species of Primid, but the change was quick astronomical. The Primids were enormous, their foot alone the size of Ike. The withstood very powerful hits and dealt intense damage, so the three had to work together to bring them down fast.
Eventually, the three knights managed to reach the large metallic object as it stopped near a cliff edge above a strange mountain. At first it seemed lifeless and immobile, but it very quickly proved to be just as alive as they were. The object quickly morphed into a enormous half rhino half humanoid robot. It's small eyes focused on the three knights, ready to engage.
"ENEMIES SIGHTED," It spoke in a dull robotic voice, deeper than the Ancient Minister's, "ENGAGE AND ELIMINATE ENEMY TARGET."It readied its arsenal to face the knights, "TO PRESERVE THE REALM OF THE SUBSPACE, I, GALLEOM, WILL ELIMINATE YOU NOW."
"I guess that answers our questions," Ike spoke out, already gripping his sword.
"And I think you know what we must do now," Meta Knight joined in and grabbed his sword as well.
"Of course," Joining in as well, Marth grabbed his sword and the three readied themselves to face Galleom.
Galleom proved to be a very fierce fighter. Its sheer size made simple punches, stomps and slams dangerous. But it's large arsenal and capabilities made it quite the versatile fighter. The three knights had to cooperate to their fullest to bring it down and keep one another safe when they proved to be in danger. And with enough work, they were able to bring the beast down to its knees, sparks beginning to resonate of its body.
"DAMAGE LEVELS REACHING CRITICAL LEVELS...MUST EVACUATE AND ACTIVATE SELF-RESTORATION."
With quick work, Galleom leaped off the cliff's edge, landing on the ground below leading into the mountain. But it's heavy size and the grounds aged stone caused the robot to fall through the ground and into the depths beneath it.
Ike looked down at the crumple ground below, "Where's it going?"
"I can't tell," Meta Knight answered, "But I get the feeling that it won't be good."
The knight would likely never have spoken if he knew the extent of his words truth.
