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...

The two boys felt a sudden strong rumble coming from above. Looking up, they saw a rock slide coming from the invisible ceiling above along with a large object falling right for them.
"Lucas, move!"
Grabbing the younger's hand, the two moved out of the way of the falling object as it crashed to the ground, clouding the area in smoke, dust and rubble. Once it cleared, Galleom's eyes focused on the two boys as it slowly stood up.
"MORE ENEMY TARGETS SIGHTED...MUST ELIMINATE, FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE SUBSPACE."
"Where did this thing come from?!"
"No idea, but I get the feeling we shouldn't let it escape," Red reached for his pokeball, "It looks like it's already been weakened. We just need to finish it off."
"Right," Lucas nodded, gathering energy in his fingertips.
Both heroes and foe wasted no time in engaging each other. Galleom fought with the same force and arsenal as before, but the damage it had accumulated from its last battle that was given no time to recover from made it unable to withstand the force of two powerful fighters in peak physical form made it quick and easy to overpower. Soon, it's body was barely sustaining itself from collapsing onto the ground, large shockwaves of energy seeping through every part of its body.
"DAMAGE...REACHING...CRITICAL LEVELS...MUST PRESERVE THE SUBSPACE," It focused it sights straight on the two boys, "NOW PROCEEDING WITH EMERGENCY SELF DESTRUCT PROTOCOL."
Galleom quickly grabbed the two boys in its giant hand, who were both squirming and struggling, as it's head opened to reveal a Subspace bomb that began to count down from 30 seconds.
"Red! It has a bomb!"
"YOU SHALL FALL TO THE REALM OF THE SUBSPACE."
Galleom activated the rocket jets on its back and rocketed them up through the colossal room, quickly reaching the area outside as they climbed up the side of the mountain. Lucas coughed up the dust that rushed to his face as they climbed up the room, and looked to his side, shocked to see Red passed out against Galleom's hand. Frightened and running out of options, Lucas acted quickly on his instincts.
"PK Thunder!"
A ball of electric energy flew out and Lucas guided it to hit Galleom's forearm, destroying it and setting the two boys free as the bomb exploded high within the air. Lucas could see Red's unconscious body falling to the ground below fast.
"RED!"
Angling himself to fall faster, he reached Red and grabbed him along the neck. Realizing he couldn't wake him up, he closed his eyes and braced for them to hit the ground very soon.
But that never came.
Just as he knew they were going to hit the ground, Lucas felt something grab the back of his shirt and separate him from Red. Opening his eyes, he saw a small round blue knight flying him and Red away from the explosion, holding onto both of them.
"Huh? Who-"
"Don't worry," Meta Knight answered firmly, "You both are safe now."
The three flew away from the explosion as it engulfed the mountain ruins (along with Wario's trophied body). Once Meta Knight reached the cliff he was previously on, he set the two boys down gently. The relief of barely escaping left Lucas panting for relief.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Looking up, he saw the two blue haired knights. One was kneeling down, looking at him with a soft, comforting expression. The other was standing with his arms crossed, looking confident yet calm.
"Yeah... I'm okay," Finally calming himself down, he was suddenly hit with the realization of his friends condition, "Red!" Lucas rushed to Red's side, as he was lying down on the ground, "Red! Are you okay?! Please, wake up!" Lucas was about to ready a healing spell, until he heard Red groan and saw him slightly shift.
"Red?!"
"...Hng...I'm...fine," Red slowly sat himself up on his hands, slowly trying to catch his breathe, "...That...back there...knocked the wind...right outta me..."
"I was really scared there."
"I know...I didn't think that robot would grab us...you must have been frightened..."
"Not that," Red looked at him confused, "I wasn't scared of that robot. I was scared that you got hurt," Lucas looked down, "You've been so nice to me this whole time. You've been helping me with everything since we met. If something happened to you..." He looked back at him, "I'd feel just horrible."
Hearing his words left Red speechless.
"You owe a lot to this little guy," Ike spoke up, "I saw what happened up there, and he's the reason why you're here with us as supposed to inside that."
Red looked back and saw the explosion, and when he looked back at Lucas, he was smiling, "Hey Lucas, remember what I told you after we beated that creep?"
"Stay strong and I'll be fine."
"Well...you keep being that strong, you'll be invincible. I'm really proud of you, Lucas."
Lucas smiled brightly as Red extended out his hand for him to shake. The younger boy grabbed it, but didn't have the strength to shake it. Instead, he let it go and hugged Red around his neck, to which the older wrapped his arms around his small body.
"Thank you, Red."
"You're welcome," Letting the boy go, he finally regained his strength and stood up, "Now, to fulfill my promise. Let's go find Ness."
The young boy nodded with excitement.
"Wait," Marth interrupted, "You're looking for Ness?"
The younger boy turned and looked at the prince, "You know Ness?"
"Yes, we met a few years ago. But why are you looking for him?"
"He was kidnapped."
"What?!"
Red continued, "Lucas told me he was kidnapped by the really weird freak. We ran into him and stopped him, but his friend isn't here. So he probably took him somewhere else, but we don't know what for though."
"...Sono osoroshi mujona kaibutsu! Kare no shinkei wa kodomo ni totemo zankokuna nanika o shimasu!" The prince suddenly shouted in a fit of anger, leaving everyone practically frozen, even Ike.
"Gee, this is the first time I've seen him get upset." "Marth-"
"Lucas! Red! Please come along with us!"
"Huh? Really?"
"I can't simply stand aside and let harm come to someone as innocent as Ness! So come with us, we're bound to find him faster if we work alongside each other!"
"Marth," Meta Knight interrupted, "How can you be sure that the Ancient Minister's cause even has Ness?"
"Every disaster that has been occurring recently has been at their hands. I'm certain they must be responsible for this as well," He looked back at Ike and smirked, "Besides, you said it yourself Aiku-kun. Anything suspicious that happens recently can't be good."
Ike smirked and chuckled, "Well, I can't argue when you use my own words against me." He looked back at the two boys, "You two come with us, we'll find your buddy in no time."
Red looked down at Lucas, "What do you think?"
Lucas looked up and smiled, "Are you kidding?! Of course!"
"Very well," Meta Knight answered, "Then let's get going."
Now a group of five, they all set off, hoping for the best results in their future.
