I can't believe I finally did it... I reached the final chapter of this story at last!

Enjoy! ;)

Final Chapter: The Final Showdown

At the very top of the castle, the heroes rode a platform, taking them to where the main villains were standing. Lightning strikes filled the purple voided sky as the heroes glared at the villains.

"We're finally here to take you down!" Starlow declared.

"Well, well, well… I guess we'll have to do this ourselves indeed!" Paper Bowser replied.

"Your stubbornness is extremely annoying." Bowser spoke sternly. "But at least we've had plenty of time to come up with a plan. Bidimentio!"

"Yes, Bowser…" Bidimentio smirked before bringing out the Lucky Star and the Crystal Mirror, causing the heroes' eyes to perk up.

"First, we're gonna beat you! Next, we're gonna trap you in the book you're holding with this! And then we're going to throw the book and the pendant in the garbage… AND LIGHT THE GARBAGE ON FIRE AND WE'LL SMASH THE MIRROR WITH IT TOO! BWAHAHA!" Paper Bowser laughed.

"Why you…" Lana growled. "You can't just destroy these objects like that! There's more than just them living in those universes! You'll kill hundreds of lives as a result!"

"Ha! We don't even care, bubbly sorceress! That way we'll never have to see you annoying fiends ever again… And the Mushroom Kingdom will be MINE!" Bowser roared in glory.

"We'll NEVER allow you to do that to us and the two universes!" AU Mario hissed.

"Hey, hold up!" Paper Bowser interfered, turning to his counterpart. "I sure hope you meant OURS just then!"

"I meant what I said! You got a problem with that?" Bowser retorted.

"You bet I do! I'm taking over this world!"

"Not if we can help it!" Mario exclaimed.

"You two can settle this later, for all I care." Calamity Ganon scoffed. "Right now we need to destroy them!"

"Fine! Just don't get in my way, okay?" Paper Bowser glared at Bowser.

"I don't know why you're so confident. Look at how many people we have!" Starlow said. "Plus, it's 35 versus 4!"

"Pfft. You don't scare me, yellow thing." Bowser scoffed. "Calamity Ganon…"

"Come, my Blights!" Calamity Ganon eventually splits himself into four smaller versions, each carrying different weapons and looking slightly different.

"See that? Now we have SEVEN! We've got enough arms and magic to stomp ALL of you!" Paper Bowser exclaimed.

"So, Mario… And Luigi… Paper selves… And everyone else!" Bowser got into position.

"Let's do this!" both Bowsers declared and the villains charged towards the heroes.

Both Bowsers began by breathing fire at the heroes, but Alice doused the flames with her water powers, and the Captain Falcons immediately did a Falcon Punch at their respective Bowsers, but surprisingly enough, they didn't flinch.

"PK THUNDER!" both Nesses used PK Thunder to launch themselves at the Bowsers with electricity, but once again, they didn't flinch the slightest.

"Nope." Bowser shook his head.

"How is that possible?!" Ness flinched in unbelief.

"Mega Thwonk!" Luigi and Mario did their Mega Thwonk Bros Attack at the Bowsers, and once again, they were perfectly fine. "What?!"

"Ah ha ha. They're more resistant than ever!" Bidimentio teased. "Now it's my turn!"

Bidimentio fired magical projectiles at them, but the Zeldas reflected them back with Nayru's Love, only for Bidimentio to teleport away from it. He then clones himself into two to fire more projectiles, but the Kirbys inhaled them, both turning into Mirror Kirby. The Mirror Kirbys shot mirror glasses at the two Bidimentios, who didn't see that coming, and were hit by them, becoming one again.

"Argh… I've been taken down just like my brother!" Bidimentio cried in defeat. "Blight Ganons, your turn!"

"Leave it to us." the Blight Ganons replied.

Waterblight Ganon creates giant ice blocks and sends them at the heroes, but the Links shattered them with Cryonis before firing a Bomb Arrow at him, leaving him stunned.

"Revali's Gale!" AU Luigi was lifted into the air by the strong drafts he unleashed and kicked Waterblight Ganon on the head.

Both Lanas used their Spears to create drafts and were lifted into the air, immediately taking out their Deku Leaves to use as parachutes. Waterblight Ganon was back to his senses and tries to stab the Lanas with his spear, but they dodged it and splashed him with water (they just used the Spear's YX combo from Hyrule Warriors).

Thunderblight Ganon uses his lightning speed to try to ambush the heroes, but both Foxes countered him with Fox Illusion. The Jigglypuffs then use Rollout at him, but he blocked with his shield. At the same time, both Pikachus tried to hurt him with Thunder, only for it to backfire with him summoning metal spikes and the Pikachus were hurt instead.

"YAAAAAH!" they yelled in pain.

"Mipha's Grace!" AU Peach quickly healed both Pikachus. "Do not use thunder attacks against Thunderblight Ganon. Otherwise, why would he be called that?"

"Oh, right, chu." Pikachu replied. "In that case… Skull Bash!" he and his paper counterpart used Skull Bash at Thunderblight Ganon, who tried to attack them with his sword, but missed.

Windblight Ganon creates cyclones, sending them at the heroes, but they dodged them, and both Samuses fired missiles at him, while both Peaches took the advantage of the wind from the cyclones to float into the air with their parasols and attack him by creating a rainbow above their heads.

Windblight Ganon then starts firing shots with his arm cannon. The heroes avoided the shots and both Yoshis threw Egg Bombs at him, which blinded him.

"Urbosa's Fury!" giving the chance for AU Yoshi to unleash powerful lightning bolts at him by snapping his fingers, dealing heavy damage.

Fireblight Ganon swung his giant axe at the heroes, but they backflipped to avoid it, and both Donkey Kongs attacked him with Giant Punch, followed with the paper bros swinging their hammers at him. Fireblight Ganon then fired a volley of fireballs at them, but they dodged and Alice fires a beam of water at him.

Enraged, Fireblight Ganon began to charge a powerful blast from its 'eye' while aiming at the heroes with a red laser pointer, and yes, I'm talking about the same blast that the Guardians target and fire at you in the game.

"Oh, shoot…" Link paled as the noise of the laser became faster.

"Daruk's Protection!" but then, as soon as Fireblight Ganon fired the blast, AU Mario got in front and cracked his fists, causing a shield to appear around him and it blocked the blast before it even split to hit the heroes.

"Whoa! What was that?" Mario asked astonished.

"That was Daruk's Protection, a power from the Champion Daruk himself." AU Mario answered. "I and my friends were gifted the four Champions' powers in our latest adventure from this universe's Hyrule. I have Daruk's Protection, Luigi has Revali's Gale, Peach has Mipha's Grace, and Yoshi has Urbosa's Fury. However, we each have a limit of usage: Peach can only hers once while I, Luigi and Yoshi can only use ours three times before they all recharge again. Our capes' fastenings indicate how much our powers have recharged before we can use them again."

"Oh, I see."

"Well, I think I'll leave the finisher to you."

"Thanks!" Mario then calls for the Paper Toads in his pocket: "Hey, Paper Toads! Help me out here!" they all came out of his pocket. "Toad Trail!"

Mario and Luigi then execute their other Bros Attack, Toad Trail, and at the end, it dealt massive damage to Fireblight Ganon. At the end, the heroes were starting to get exhausted. The villains… not so much:

"What, you had enough already? BWAHAHA!" Bowser laughed.

"Is that enough of a warm-up? Should we crush them now?" Paper Bowser teased.

"Yes. Let's crush them now. Let's go ALL OUT!" the four Blights yelled in unison.

"Finally! I've been waiting to try this out!" Bidimentio exclaimed. "Ladies and Gentlemen, get ready for the greatest magic show you'll ever see! We call it: SUPER FUSION!"

With that, Bidimentio flies into the air and Paper Bowser jumps into him as he starts to surround himself with magic. When both Bidimentio and Paper Bowser started to glow, all four Blight Ganons merged back into one before flying into the glow, turning it dark purple as a strong vortex started to blow around them and the glow formed into a ball, getting bigger as it spun faster and faster. Finally, Bowser jumps into the glowing ball once it was big enough.

Everything went white for our heroes as they covered their eyes, and once they opened them as the glow fades… they all had shocked looks.

"W-What… what IS that?!" Luigi yelled.

"Oh… oh my goodness." Zelda whispered.

"No way…" AU Mario breathed.

"That's definitely not normal!" Link flinched.

Bowser was now encased in shiny cardboard armor made out of Malice in his own image and had Calamity Ganon's aura surrounding him, complete with glowing yellow eyes. He was now Calamity RoboBowser.

"BWAHAHAHA! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF US NOW?!" he spoke; his voice was now Bowser, Bidimentio and Calamity Ganon's voices combined. "GET READY TO MEET YOUR DOOM!"

"Everyone… We've come this far. We're not going to let THEM stop us!" Mario declared, filled with determination.

"Way ahead of you!" Paper Mario nodded. The same went for the others, as they got ready for their decisive final battle.

Calamity RoboBowser began by doing rapid-fire punches at the heroes, but they dodged them. After the punches, he blows a stream of dark fire at the paper heroes, but Alice jumps in the way and tries to counter it back with her water blast. Unfortunately, as much as she struggled, Alice was unable to hold it much longer and was knocked away by the dark fire, having charred spots all over her skin and clothes.

"ALICE!" the heroes cried out.

"YEAH! How'd you like our new flame? We're unstoppable!" Calamity RoboBowser smirked.

He then leaps into the air and tries to squish the two Mario Bros, but they managed to counter with their hammers. He next turns the armor's arms into wings and fires the same powerful blast that Fireblight Ganon did, but thankfully, AU Mario blocked the attack with Daruk's Protection.

"Phew, that was close! But what about Alice?" Paper Luigi asked, worried about Alice.

"I am able to heal her, but I have to wait for my power to recharge." AU Peach came in. "Oh, LOOK OUT!"

Her warning caused everyone to immediately jump once they saw Calamity RoboBowser trying to ram into them with his wings, with the Kirbys even using their Stone ability while in midair to deal some damage to him.

"We can't let our guard down. They won't stop attacking no matter what." AU Mario warned.

"Right." Mario nodded.

"If Calamity Ganon is now part of them, then maybe Light Arrows will be effective." Zelda stated.

"Oh, of course! Why haven't I thought of that?" Link said. He and his paper counterpart started to take out their Bow of Light and equipped some Light Arrows.

"Okay, we'll distract him with this!" Paper Mario brought out his cardboard hammer.

"BWAHAHA! Pfft. That doesn't stand a chance against us!" Calamity RoboBowser mocked, and to both Mario Bros' surprise, he also brought out his own cardboard hammer!

"What the?!" Paper Mario didn't see that coming. "Let's try it anyway! Quartet-…"

"WHOOOOOOAAAA!" unfortunately, Calamity RoboBowser's hammer managed to beat the Mario Bros' hammer, sending the quartet flying. Calamity RoboBowser then flattens the quartet with his hammer, transporting them into a paper version of the arena. Thankfully, the quartet managed to avoid all of Calamity RoboBowser's attacks, and once this sequence ended, they were back to normal.

"Welp, that didn't work." Paper Luigi remarked.

"Ah ha ha. As long as we're covered in thick armor, we won't fall for your quartet attacks!" Calamity RoboBowser laughed, apparently with Bidimentio speaking for them. "And now…"

"Have a face of Light Arrows, you hybrid monster!" Paper Link suddenly shouted as two Light Arrows came in and hit Calamity RoboBowser.

"YAAAAAARGH!" he yelled in pain. "NOT THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!"

"Aha! I knew it! The Light Arrows are effective against him!" Zelda exclaimed.

"Hey, look!" Paper Zelda saw that some parts of Calamity RoboBowser's armor fell apart. "That's it! We have to remove his armor!"

"GRRRR! WE'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!" Calamity RoboBowser roared.

He then took a few steps back and turns his arms into cannons, firing Bidimentio's magical projectiles and fireballs from them, but AU Peach used her Nayru's Love to reflect the magical projectiles back while AU Luigi used Farore's Wind to send the fireballs back, all of them hitting Calamity RoboBowser and more of his armor fell apart. Now with the helmet almost falling apart, the Zeldas fired a Light Arrow, along with AU Yoshi sending a light blast at him, which of course stunned Calamity RoboBowser again, and also caused his helmet to be destroyed.

"ARGH! Our armor is falling apart!" he growled. "That's it! We'll just squish ALL OF YOU!" he summons his cardboard hammer again, but this time, it was two of them, ready to flatten everyone with it… only for both Kirbys to inhale them, transforming into Grand Hammer Kirby. "WHAT?!" Now more enraged than ever, he tries to charge headfirst towards the heroes, only for Link to fire another Light Arrow at him.

"He's stunned, everyone! Let's take the advantage and finish this once and for all!" Zelda hollered. "Use your strongest attacks, everyone!"

"LET'S DO THIS!" the heroes yelled in unison.

"LIGHTNING PUNCH!" both Donkey Kongs unleashed an electrifying version of their Giant Punch (a custom move from Smash Wii U).

"ANCIENT ARROW!" both Links shot each an Ancient Arrow (which is Link's new Final Smash in Smash Ultimate).

"ZERO LASER!" both Samuses fired a large beam of energy from their arm cannons.

"SUPER DRAGON BREATH!" both Yoshis grew wings and breathed a large fireball from their mouths.

"SUPER HAMMER PLUS!" both Kirbys made their hammers become enormous and gold before smashing them on Calamity RoboBowser's head.

"LANDMASTER BLAST!" both Foxes summoned their Landmasters and made both of them fire a blast from their cannons.

"PIKA-CHUUUUUUU!" both Pikachus unleashed their Volt Tackle attack.

"PK… STARSTORM!" both Nesses summoned a shower of falling stars.

"COME ON! BLUE FALCON!" both Captain Falcons rammed into Calamity RoboBowser with their Blue Falcons.

"JIGGLY!" both Jigglypuffs used their Puff Up move.

"STAR BLAST!" both Peaches unleashed a light beam with the power of the Star Children, thanks to Starlow giving her blessing to them.

"ULTRA LIGHTNING SHOWER!" both Lanas unleashed a stronger version of their Lightning Shower attack.

"LIGHT ARROW!" both Zeldas fired another Light Arrow.

"TETRAFORCE UNITY!" the AU group combined their powers to unleash a powerful red, green, blue and yellow blast.

"QUARTET METEOR!" finally, the two Mario Bros executed their final Quartet Attack, where they rained down a red, green, yellow and blue meteor at Calamity RoboBowser.

After all these powerful attacks, the rest of the armor began to crumble apart, as Calamity RoboBowser roared in defeat before exploding. The force of the explosion sent everyone flying back.

Once the explosion faded, the two Bowsers, Bidimentio and Calamity Ganon were defused, and in the midst of the diffusion…

"No… NOOO!" Bidimentio began to glow brightly, about to explode. "I… can't… die… too…!" the glow intensifies. "B-Big brother… I-I'm… sorry… I… failed you…" even more… "A-At least… I… can… join… you… again…"

*BOOOOOOM!*

Bidimentio ended up exploding for good; he was no more, suffering the same fate as his brother. But since they were all defused in midair, Bowser ended up falling all the way down at a very high altitude. After Bowser fell, Zelda started to use the same sealing magic she used to seal away Calamity Ganon.

"No… It can't be…" Calamity Ganon muttered. "How could I fail AGAIN?!"

"Your fate was already sealed, Ganon. May you never get resurrected again." Zelda spoke as Calamity Ganon was being engulfed into a giant light ball.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Calamity Ganon yelled and once the light ball completely enveloped him, it shrunk into nothingness.

"This isn't…over…" Paper Bowser, who was the only one remaining, groaned as he began to slowly crawl towards the Lucky Star. "Must…protect…pendant…"

"Oh no, you don't!" Paper Mario came and snatched the Lucky Star before Paper Bowser was able to. "3D Luigi, get the book out!"

"Okey-Dokey!" Luigi nodded and brought out the book and opened it while bringing it close to the Lucky Star.

With that, the Lucky Star and the book glowed, and sparkles came out of the book, creating a suction effect.

"NO!" Paper Bowser yelled as he started to get sucked into the book. "I won't go back! You can't…make me!"

"There's no use in escaping, Bowser!" Paper Mario declared.

"The Mushroom Kingdom… was going to be mine…" then, Mario and the two Luigis joined in to help Paper Mario. "GYAAAH! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" Paper Bowser yelled his last words before he was finally sucked inside and the two Mario Bros slammed the book shut, feeling it fight back before it died down.

"Whew…" Luigi sighed.

"It's over. I think it's over…" Mario breathed.

"Hooray! We did it!" Kirby cheered as they all celebrated and some of them even hugged each other. That is, until their celebration was cut when AU Peach suddenly called out to them:

"Hey, everyone! Come here!"

They rushed to where AU Peach was; she was kneeled down next to the downed Alice using Mipha's Grace at her, when she suddenly began to glow. Everyone watched astonished as Alice was lifted off the ground and hovering into the air before a bright flash of light came, blinding the heroes a bit.

Once the light faded, the heroes looked back at Alice and gasped: she was no longer a Three Dimensional person; she was back to her paper form! Alice opens her eyes and looks at herself, giving a silent gasp before a huge smile formed on her face.

"Everyone… I'm back to normal! The curse must've been broken!" she beamed. "Thank you so much!"

Everyone's smiles returned to their faces once again.

Soon…

Everyone took the book, the Lucky Star and the Crystal Mirror and went back to Mount Brrr, where they met with many Toads and Paper Toads clapping and cheering for them. The Fairies of Emotion then came in as well.

"Oh, heroes! Thank goodness you're safe!" Petunia beamed. "I was so worried…"

"And Alice is back to her normal self! Hoorah!" Tamia cheered. "How do you feel, Alice?"

"I feel… quite different. But in a good manner, of course!" Alice replied. "I'm also glad to be back to normal."

"Heroes… Thank you all for everything." Cecile smiled. "You guys saved the three universes and banished the villains."

"Yeah! Can you imagine if you always had all those villains to deal with? That REALLY is a bad taste!" Selene exclaimed.

"We couldn't have done it without you." Wanda said. "We owe you all!"

"And now… here comes the tough part." Cecile said. "It's time for all of you to say goodbye." as soon as everyone heard this, they became saddened; now that their adventure was over, they had to part ways. "Alice, use the power of the Lucky Star and the book to send all of the paper characters back home."

Alice did as she was told, putting the Lucky Star back on her neck and leaving the book opened on the ground, and the Lucky Star began to glow, and all of the Paper Toads and paper minions were all sent back into the book.

"All right, all of the Paper Toads and minions have been safely returned to their world. And you know I have a reason of why I didn't send the rest back; to have everyone say their goodbyes." Alice said.

"We know." Cecile nodded.

The normal heroes and paper heroes sighed as they looked at each other with saddened expressions, with some of them even crying.

"This is making me sad…" Peach lamented.

"Me too." Paper Peach replied. "But I need to hurry back to my world before Paper Bowser starts causing trouble again…"

"Between you and all the paper heroes, I'm sure you can handle him!" Starlow exclaimed.

"Yep! But there's more than just us who kept fending off Paper Bowser!" Paper Mario chirped. "I actually built up a large team of characters from many different worlds! And as each adventure we had, my team just kept increasing!"

"That's right! As long as we keep working together, Paper Bowser doesn't stand a chance." Paper Link added.

"Yeah!" the rest of the paper heroes cheered.

"Well, this is it…" Alice spoke. "This has been crazy…but pretty fun too!" she then turns to Mario and Luigi. "And Mario… Luigi… I thank you for this exciting adventure and all the times we spent together when I was still tridimensional. I'll never forget you and all your friends."

"We'll never forget you as well, Alice." Mario replied in a soft tone. "After all, we're still friends."

"I know."

"I hope we get a chance to hang out again soon!" Peach said to her paper self.

"Thank you, 3D me." Paper Peach smiled before they shared a hug.

"We shall get going too." Cecile spoke. "We'll be waiting for the rest of you."

Then, the Toads around them began saying their goodbyes:

"Good-bye!"

"Be sure to visit!"

"Take care!"

"Good-bye, everyone!" Paper Peach waved along with the Fairies of Emotion. "I'll miss you all!" Alice then used her magic to send Paper Peach and the Fairies back into the book.

"And now… It's your turn, paper heroes." Alice said.

The paper heroes nodded and approached their counterparts, sharing a hug and saying good-bye, some of them shed a few tears.

"It was great meeting another version of myself." Paper Mario smiled. "I'll never forget about you and this journey we all had together."

"Me neither." Mario replied before he and his paper counterpart shook hands. "Good-bye, paper me."

"Good-bye."

With that, Alice used her magic once again, and she and all the paper heroes were sent into the book, with them giving one last good-bye before they were in. The book then closes itself.

"I'm going to miss them so much…" Ness wiped out a tear.

"Yeah." Yoshi nodded.

"I can't believe they're all gone…" Starlow mused.

A moment of silence happened, until Peach broke it:

"Anyways, I wonder if the Toads finished rebuilding the castle? We should head there!"

"Oh, you're right, chu!" Pikachu exclaimed. "After all, all of our transportation thingies are there!"

"You're right. Let's head back and get ready to leave the Mushroom Kingdom." Samus said.

"What about you?" Lana asked the AU group. "Aren't you supposed to head back to your universe?"

"We will, but we have made a certain promise to our counterparts." AU Mario replied. "We'll wait for you here."

"Okay!" Mario nodded before Zelda used Farore's Wind to teleport them to Sunbeam Plains, close to the castle. But when they were making their way there…

*THUD!*

A loud thud noise came, followed up by a voice:

"Hey! Be more careful there!"

"What was that?" Fox asked.

"I have no idea…" Peach answered. "But we should check it out!"

They nodded and reached the area with Peach's Castle, which was fully repaired. But to their surprise, they were greeted with a large statue right in front of the castle right on a platform. And that wasn't all: they saw Princess Jewel and a few Pi'illos working on the statue!

"What the-… Princess Jewel?!" Peach's eyes widened. "What are you doing here? And what are you building in front of my castle?"

"Oh! Hello, everyone!" Jewel waved as she went to the gang. "For those who don't know, I am Jewel, princess of the Pi'illo Kingdom, and the Author's fictional persona, so I know about the adventure you just had. The ones who are building that statue are Pi'illos. And to those who already met me, it's quite an honor to see you again. I still haven't forgotten about our adventure at Pi'illo Island!"

"We haven't forgotten as well, Jewel!" Kirby chirped. "I kind of missed you, actually."

"Tee hee! I'm glad you always remembered me, Kirby!" Jewel giggled. She then turned to Peach: "Now, to answer your questions, Peach. I came here because… I wanted to thank you and your friends for coming to have a vacation in my island, so I decided to pay a tribute to you by building a statue of you in front of your castle."

"Oh, really? Aw, you didn't have too!" Peach smiled. "But still, I appreciate it! I can't wait to see how it will turn out!"

"I'm sure you'll love it! Oh, and another thing; you still haven't met most of my friends. They are right now inside the castle, and two of them might seem familiar to you…"

"They're inside my castle?! When did you invite them?!"

"When you just left to Gloomy Woods!"

"Oh, wait! Now I remember!" Lana interfered. "It was actually my doing, Princess Peach. Before I left, Jewel told me to bring 'them' into the Mushroom Kingdom! And those 'them' happen to be Jewel's friends!"

"Really? Who are your new friends, Jewel?" Peach asked.

"Just go inside!" Jewel replied.

They went into the castle and gasped: the main room was filled with most of the hero cast from Hyrule Warriors! That includes Darunia, Ruto, Agitha, Twili Midna, Fi, Tetra, Medli, Marin, Toon Zelda and Ravio! But among these people, there were two more who looked familiar to the gang, and they happened to be…

"Look, Young! They're back!" a voice said as two young boys approached them, and Ness and Kirby immediately beamed:

"Toon! Young!"

That's right; they were Young Link and Toon Link!

"Ness! Kirby! It's been so long since our Melee tournament!" Young Link exclaimed. "Thank goodness I'm returning in the so-called 'Ultimate' tournament!"

"I'm really glad too!" Ness replied. "So that means you and Toon will be together!" he then turns to Toon Link: "Say, Toon, I'm curious; how exactly did you gain that nickname?"

"Well, it's quite of a long story. I was named like this because of my appearance, since I look like I came from a cartoon, and 'Toon' is short for that word." Toon Link explained. "And believe it or not, it was Princess Peach who gave me this nickname, and it really grew on me, so now I really like it!"

"I'm glad you enjoyed my nickname, Toony." Peach smiled.

"Heh heh… don't say that name to me, it always makes me blush! Not in front of everyone!"

"Oops, sorry!"

Everyone laughed.

"Well, it was glad to meet two familiar faces again, but now, we need to leave." Fox said.

"You're right." Captain Falcon nodded. "But overall, I really enjoyed this adventure! Especially with another me!"

"Yeah, I've enjoyed it too, jiggly!" Jigglypuff threw in.

"Take care, you all." Peach waved. "And make sure to visit again someday!"

"We will!" Donkey Kong replied.

With that, Samus, Kirby, Fox and Captain Falcon boarded their respective vehicles, Donkey Kong launched himself off of a barrel cannon back to his island, Pikachu and Jigglypuff went into a teleporter back to Kanto, and Ness used PSI Teleport to teleport back to Eagleland.

"And what about you?" Luigi asked Link and Zelda.

"Jewel also invited us to see the inauguration of the statue she and the Pi'illo staff are building." Zelda answered.

"That's right." Jewel came in. "Everyone in the castle are friends I've invited for the inauguration! The statue should be ready by tomorrow, so you have enough guest rooms for everyone, right Peach?"

"Don't worry, I have enough." Peach assured. That's where she remembered something: "Oh, I almost forgot! I, Mario, Luigi and Yoshi have something to do first, so we'll see you later." she, Mario, Luigi and Yoshi left.

"Where are they going?" Toon Link asked.

"They're going back to Mount Brrr so that their universal counterparts could show them their universe." Lana answered.

"Ah."

Meanwhile, with Bowser…

"Urgh…" Bowser groaned as he got up. "Once again… I failed to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom… So tired…"

"Dad? Are you okay?" Bowser Jr asked once he came to him.

"I'm fine, son… Just a bit tired…" Bowser replied weakly. "I seriously need a vacation…"

"A vacation?"

"Yes… So, Junior…"

"Yes, papa?"

"Since I'll be gone for a while, I'm gonna leave you in charge once I come back. But you still have to do some responsibilities, so no throwing parties or something! Promise?"

"Yes, I promise… I won't let you down, papa!"

"Good boy." Bowser finished before leaving.

"Don't worry, papa. I'll definitely make you proud!" Bowser Jr thought.

At Mount Brrr…

Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi have finally arrived where their counterparts were waiting next to the Crystal Mirror.

"You ready?" AU Mario asked.

"Ready!" the normal group nodded.

With that, the AU group led their counterparts into the mirror, passing through its cold glass. At the other side, they emerged out into some sort of valley, where they met up with a sorceress wearing white clothes looking into a crystal ball.

"Ah, you came back." she spoke while turning around. "Oh? Who are those four with you? And why do you look similar?" the AU group then explained everything to her. "Ah, I see. They're your counterparts from the universe held in our Crystal Mirror. Greetings. My name is Cia, the Guardian of Time. I watch over the balance of the Triforce in this universe."

"Wait, you said your name was Cia?" Mario asked. "But why do you look different? Lana had showed us a picture of you and you were wearing dark clothes instead of white."

"Oh, I guess Lana haven't told you about that yet. You see, I am supposed to be Cia before she was split into two. Before the War Across the Ages happened, your Lana and your Cia were once one, and they looked identical to me. But when your Cia was corrupted, I was sent to your universe while she was split into two beings. So in this universe, I was never split into two."

"Wow… Who knew Lana and Cia's universal counterpart would be one single person?" Peach stated.

"Feel free to explore this universe as much as you want. Your counterparts will show you around."

"Thank you, Cia."

And so, the AU group showed their counterparts almost every single corner of their universe. They started with Hyrule Castle, where they met the Link, Zelda and Impa from this universe, next they went to a small village where they met a blonde girl named Linkle, then they went to Eldin Caves, where AU Mario introduced them his friend, the Dragon Knight Volga.

Soon after exiting the caves, they went to Faron Woods, then to Gerudo Desert, then the Temple of Souls, which unlike in the original game, it was a beautiful water shrine reflecting AU Peach's image, and then finally the Temple of the Sacred Sword.

Having finished their tour, the normal group waved goodbye to their AU counterparts before heading into the Crystal Mirror, taking them back to their universe. They really enjoyed the tour, and they started walking back to Peach's Castle so that they could know Jewel's new friends more.

The journey to save three different universes comes to an end. But the new gang didn't know, that a brand new, and somewhat bizarre adventure will unfold at the next day…

The End

Done! I would like to thank you who favored and followed this story, which sure was a big twist compared to the original game! I hope you enjoyed my surprises!

For the next story... I'm pretty sure most of you already know what game it will be based off from, given that most of you suspected that the reference I put in the previous chapter was another foreshadowing and the certain events that happened near the end of this chapter. This story is going to finally conclude the Descendants Saga, aka, the grand finale!

I still don't have a planned date for it, due to complications in real life. But even so, stay tuned for it!

Fairy out! ;D
