(The episode begins in a dark area with broken down walls all around the place. Master Mind floats down and glances around the place.)

Master Mind: I know that you're here. It would be wise to show yourselves. (Two figures walk out from behind the rubble, revealing themselves to be Sektor and Cyrax.)

Cyrax: Who are you?

Master Mind: I am looking for assassins. There's a group of people who I would like dead, and I heard that you two were good in that aspect. You were described to me as "killing machines".

Sektor: Who sent you?

Master Mind: You might have heard of him. His name is Shao Kahn.

Cyrax: Shao Kahn sent you.

Master Mind: Indeed. Now, you (to Sektor.) the red one. I need you to take care of the three men pictured in this file. (He hands Sektor a file and he looks through it.) Are you up to the task?

Sektor: I am.

Master Mind: I'll get you to your destination immediately. As for you, (To Cyrax.) I have another job for you.

Cyrax: Understood. (The group starts to walk off.)

(The scene changes to a fancy room. An alcoholic drink is seen on a table and is picked up by Sylvia Christel (No More Heroes). There's also a phone in her hand. We cut to an unknown character whose phone starts buzzing in his pocket. He takes it out and answers.)

???: Well, didn't expect a call from you.

Sylvia: Are you still up for your missions?

???: It kinda depends.

Sylvia: On what?

???: If you'll sleep with me after this.

Sylvia: Worry about this first. Then we'll see about your… demands. (She giggles.)

???: That's good enough for me. Who's the guy?

Sylvia: Red and robotic. Can't miss him. I was told about a yellow one too, so look out for that.

???: I'm on it. (He turns off his phone and walks off. The mystery character is seen leaving on a motorbike.)

(We cut to inside the White House. The President is seen talking to the GUN Commander. Multiple GUN soldiers are seen behind him, as well as Shadow the hedgehog.)

President: I'd like to thank you, commander, for helping to explain what has been happening to our country.

GUN Commander: It is my honor, Mr. President. And my men would be honored to lend a hand in this fight.

President: Commander, if you could spare one of your agents, we are sending in troops to locate the mysterious figures that attacked Albany.

GUN Commander: It will be no problem. (To Shadow.) Agent Shadow.

Shadow: Yes, commander?

GUN Commander: I will be sending you on this mission to locate what's been attacking the city here.

Shadow: Understood.

President: The chopper is waiting outside. Tell them I sent you. (Shadow nods and takes off. He arrives at the chopper as it's about to take off. A soldier is standing in front of it.)

Soldier: Who are you supposed to be?

Shadow: I am Shadow. Shadow the hedgehog. I was sent by the President to join this mission.

Soldier: Get on then, and I hope you can pull your own weight. (Shadow gets on and they take off.)

(We cut to a car parking on the side of a street. Mario, Aiden, and Conker get out.)

Conker: So, does someone wanna explain what exactly attacked us back there?

Aiden: Yeah, (To Mario.) what exactly was that thing?

Mario: (Looking sad.) They call him Master Mind. (A flashback ensues showing Mario and Peach with the Shadow Crystal, Mario fighting Bowser, and Master Mind being released.) He attacked us long ago, but he was-a trapped inside of the Shadow Crystal. He was-a released and seems to have transported us all here. I don't-a know what he has planned, but it can't be good.

Conker: So what? We've gotta save the world?

Aiden: We're not exactly heroes.

Mario: I have to do something. You saw what happened out there. (It's silent for a moment.)

Aiden: Well, we better get going. (Mario smiles and nods, and they start heading out.)

Conker: I hope there's a bar on the way. I could use a pick-me-up.

(The scene changes to the inside of a bakery. Chef Kawasaki (Kirby) is mixing soup in a pot. Cooking Mama is behind the counter and sets two sandwiches down and rings a bell.)

Cooking Mama: Order up! (Kuro goes and picks up the food. He walks out of the bakery.)

Kuro: Toro! The food is ready! (The camera pans over and we see Toro Inoue.)

Toro: I wish I was as strong as you! You look sooooo cool! (Toro is talking to King (Tekken) who takes little interest in Toro.)

Kuro: Toro! Our sandwiches are done! (Toro's face lights up.)

Toro: (To King.) Bye mister! (Toro and Kuro walk and eat their sandwiches.)

Kuro: Why do you think we were sent here, Toro?

Toro: Maybe it's a way to make us more human! Finding our way home will help us finally achieve our dreams!

Kuro: I suppose it's possible. (The heroes spot a strange thing jumping to the rooftops from the alleyway.) What was that?

Toro: Hmm? (Toro walks into the alley with Kuro behind him. Suddenly, a strand of the glowing string falls onto Kuro, paralyzing him. He's snatched away by dwarf gekkos.) It sure is scary here, Kuro. Kuro? (He looks up as more glowing string falls down. He jumps out of the way.) What the-?

???: What is this? It seems like curiosity really will kill the cat. (The camera turns to see Psycho Mantis floating down to confront Toro. Dwarf gekkos crawl down from the buildings.) You're in over your head.

Toro: What's happening?

Psycho Mantis: Let me see… your name is Toro Inoue and you want to be human.

Toro: How did you know that?!

Psycho Mantis: I know a lot of things. (To dwarf gekkos.) Grab him. (The dwarf gekkos go towards Toro, but he backflips away. Toro jumps up and kicks one of them. He turns and punches another one in its eye. Toro jumps off of one to hit Psycho Mantis but he dodges.) You really think that will work? (Toro continues to try and hit him, but Psycho Mantis dodges every time.)

(We cut to the helicopter holding Shadow.)

Soldier: We should be there soon. (Footsteps are heard on the helicopter roof.) What was that? (Suddenly, a group of dwarf gekkos drop down into the helicopter. They start shooting and taking everyone out on the helicopter. Shadow runs up and kicks one off. He then backflips and homing attacks a different one. He spin kicks another one out of the helicopter.)

Shadow: What are these things? They don't look like Eggman's machines. (More dwarf gekkos start to flood in. Shadow jumps out of the helicopter and grabs a piece of it off of the side. He jumps onto it like a snowboard and drops down to the city below. He lands on a slanted part of the rooftops and continues to snowboard across the roofs. We cut back to Toro being held by two dwarf gekkos.)

Psycho Mantis: Ready to join your friend? (Toro struggles for a second, when suddenly Shadow drops from the roof of a nearby building.) Now, who's this?

Shadow: You're the one who sent those robots.

Psycho Mantis: What are you…? (Shadow spin dashes into a dwarf gekko holding Toro. Toro punches the other dwarf gekko down. Shadow begins homing on robot to robot, which are hanging off of the walls, with them exploding after each hit. He attempts to hit Psycho Mantis, but he floats out of the way.) You're not fast enough to hit me. (More dwarf gekkos drop down. Tens of them. Shadow and Toro look at it in shock before Shadow grabs Toro's hand and runs away. We cut back to Mario and friends walking through the city. On the rooftops, Sektor is watching. Our heroes suddenly stop.)

Conker: (To someone in front of them.) Hey buddy, you mind moving out of the way? We're kinda in a hurry here. (The camera pans to see Sektor standing in front of them.)

Sektor: So you're the ones who I was sent to find.

Aiden: Who are you?

Sektor: I was sent to kill you. It will be quick and painless. (Aiden quickly pulls out his phone, but Sektor punches him in the jaw and he flies back onto the ground. The phone slides under a nearby truck.)

Mario: Oh no! (Conker puts on an army helmet and takes out a frying pan. Conker jumps up and hits Sektor in the face with the frying pan, and Mario throws two punches and a kick at him. He's mostly unfazed.)

Sektor: So be it. (Sektor uppercuts Conker and then punches him away in midair. Mario runs up to Sektor, but is stopped when he's punched in the face and flies back. A bullet hits Sektor in the back of the head. We see that Aiden was the one who shot Sektor. Sektor walks up while Aiden is still shooting, grabs him by the neck, and throws him against a wall.) I will show no mercy. (The sound of a motorcycle is suddenly heard. Sektor looks up to see a man riding a motorcycle towards him. He jumps off and the motorcycle hits Sektor.)

???: So you're the guy I'm looking for. This will be easy. (The hero reveals himself to be Travis Touchdown.)

Sektor: (Getting up.) You shall pay with your life.

Travis: Yeah alright, f*ckface. Let's see what you've got. (He pulls out his beam katana.)

Sektor: That was your last mistake. (Suddenly, a swarm of dwarf gekkos comes up from behind Sektor. Shadow and Toro run up to the rest of our heroes. Psycho Mantis and more dwarf gekkos follow.)

Psycho Mantis: It seems like you're trapped. (Our heroes get up and form a tight circle. At this point, a crowd has started watching the fight behind cover.)

Shadow: D*mn.

Aiden: No way out.

Travis: I've seen worse. If we dodge and weave, most of us will come out alive.

Toro: Most?!

Conker: I like the new guy.

Mario: Alright, let's-a go! (Our heroes run in all directions. Sektor takes out his plasma blades. Travis and Sektor sword fight. Travis keeps attempting to hit Sektor, but he keeps guarding with his plasma blades. Travis does get a hit on Sektor's legs and then slices up with his katana. Sektor shoulder checks him back, but Travis rolls and gets back up. We cut to Mario ground pounding a dwarf gekko. He then grabs its arm, swings it around, and throws it at three more. They explode. We cut to a close up of Toro's face.)

Toro: Hi-yaaaaah! (Toro flies through the air. He rapidly punches a dwarf gekko. He kicks another one and backflips away as they both explode. Toro puts his hands together and bows. Aiden runs to get his phone back, but a dwarf gekko grabs him and starts to shock him. He screams.)

Conker: Hold on, I'm comin'! (Conker pulls out a submachine gun and shoots the dwarf gekko.) Wait, don't those things explode? (At the last second, Shadow grabs Aiden and they escape from the explosion.)

Aiden: Thanks.

Shadow: Don't mention it. (The truck that Aiden's phone was in opens from the back, and cases of alcohol fall out.)

Conker: Ooooh! Booze! (Conker runs to get then. We cut to two police cars arriving on the scene.)

Psycho Mantis: Time to show you a little trick of mine. (The police officers suddenly get a blank look on their face. They start shooting at Shadow.)

Shadow: Is that… mind control? (Aiden grabs his phone and starts to get out from behind the truck. An officer shoots at him and he takes cover again.)

Aiden: D*mn it! (He pulls out his pistol, but Toro grabs his arm to stop him.)

Toro: Wait, mister! They're being brainwashed!

Aiden: I can still help out. (He pushes a button on his phone and all the dwarf gekkos power down. Mario looks around at them all. Conker is seen surrounded by beer bottles, clearly drunk.)

Conker: I'mma… I'mma stop this guy. (He pulls out a grenade.) Holy sh*t! That man is floating!

Psycho Mantis: His thoughts… I can't… read them… (Conker pulls the pin out from the grenade. Psycho Mantis dodges in anticipation, but Conker drops the grenade behind him.)

Conker: Sh*t. Wait. (The grenade goes off and sends him in Psycho Mantis' direction. They have a midair collision and both go down. We go back to Travis and Sektor. Sektor attempts to use the flamethrower in his arm to burn Travis. He dodges and then slices off the arm and kicks it away.)

Travis: Nice try. It's gonna be a lot hotter than that in hell. (Shadow sees Sektor's arm with his plasma blade. He grabs it, quickly runs to Psycho Mantis, and stabs him in the chest with it. The police officers return to normal, and Aiden and Toro come out from behind the truck.)

Shadow: Looks like you weren't fast enough. (We cut to Travis hitting Sektor a lot more. Finally, he stabs him right in the chest. Sektor is dead.)

Travis: Finally, I was getting tired of that.

???: You beat my men. Have I underestimated you? Or perhaps overestimated them? (Master Mind has made his entrance.)

Travis: Who's this joker?

Mario: (Softly.) Master Mind…

Master Mind: It appears that I must take care of you myself. I hope you believe in God. (Our heroes run off to fight. Shadow takes the lead and attempts to do a homing attack. Master Mind catches him and throws him at the truck. He's down for now. Travis slashes at Master Mind, who nimbly dodges each swing. Master Mind shoots electricity into his chest, taking him down. Aiden and Conker both shoot at him, but his strange makeup causes the small bullets to go through him. Master Mind shoots lightning at them too. Toro does a flying kick towards Master Mind. Master Mind smashes him down in midair onto the pavement, leaving only Mario. Mario jumps up high and prepares to punch Master Mind, but he's hit by lightning in midair and lands hard on the pavement.) Pitiful. Not a single hit. (He picks up Toro by the neck and floats up.) This shall set an example.

Toro: (Groaning.) H-Help… me… (Master Mind floats higher. Electricity begins to form from his hands. He plans to kill Toro. Suddenly, a familiar voice is heard.)

???: Stop! (Brian comes out from the crowd of people.)

Master Mind: You are not one of them.

Brian: You're a monster! Get out of New York! Leave! Can't you just leave us alone?! (Master Mind floats down and drops Toro. He walks up to Brian and picks him up by the neck instead. He floats up again and starts to electrocute Brian's neck. He starts screaming violently until the life leaves his body, and he's dropped to the ground. Brian is dead.)

Master Mind: People of this world, let this be a lesson to you all. There will be no more happy endings. No more defeating the bad guy. There are no more heroes. All who oppose will die. (He floats back and grabs Psycho Mantis' corpse. A portal opens behind him and he steps through. Our heroes start getting up.)

Mario: No…

Aiden: (To Mario.) I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think we can beat that thing.

Conker: Yeah, we got our *sses beat.

Aiden: I don't wanna die. Not here. (Mario closes his eyes, and looks down at the ground. Toro comes up and puts his hand on Mario's shoulder. Mario opens his eyes.)

Toro: I'll help you. I need to save my friend.

Shadow: I'm going too. This monster must be stopped.

Travis: This isn't a battle anymore, it's a motherf*cking war. Count me in. (Mario looks back at his army of heroes. Aiden and Conker nod towards him.)

Mario: Let's-a get going then! (Mario points to the distance, and our six heroes set off.)
