(The episode begins with Mario's group still looking up at the sky. The Helghan Cruiser still floats ominously in the air.)

Wright: What is that!?

Travis: Whatever it is, it isn't good.

Frank: This'll make a good shot. (Frank takes out his camera and snaps a photo.)

Max: Not the time, West.

Mario: What are we-a gonna do? (We then see a giant portal open up in the sky behind our heroes. The Halberd, as well as a barrage of Koopa airships flies through it.) Bowser...

Conker: Well, we're f*cked. If anyone wants to spend their last moments at the bar, drinks are on you.

Fenix: Might have to take you up on that offer, squirrel.

Toro: No, we can't give up!

Niko: What choice do we have? We're f*cked, man.

Link: He's right. (Link gets out the Master Sword and Hylian Shield.) We're the only thing protecting this world. It needs us.

Inkling: Woomy!

Spencer: (To Link.) You really think we can protect this world? (Link nods.) Then, I'll trust you.

Boss: (Pulls out his handgun.) Let's do some murdering then. (In the background, Conker revs up a chainsaw and Joe stances up.)

Joe: Bring it on! (Two koopa airships fly down towards them. A large group of Goombas, Koopas, Spikes, and Blade Knights (Kirby) drop down from it.)

Mario: Bowser's minions.

Agent 47: Not for long.

???: Enemy sighted. (Mario and Agent 47 turn around to see a group of Helghan soldiers and Pipo Monkeys, all armed.) Prepare to be bested in combat.

Wright: I'm just a lawyer! I'm not cut out for this!

Cole: You're one of us now. (Cole creates electricity with his hands.)

Wright: Why me... (The soldiers and pipo monkeys begin firing. Fenix and Reed begin firing back as we see Joe and Boss run towards them.)

Fenix: Eat this, you f*ckers! (We cut to Joe uppercutting a pipo monkey as Boss grabs a soldier and throws him far to his right. We then cut to Link sword fighting a Blade Knight while Conker and Niko shoot soldiers in the background. Link does a sword spin and hits the Blade Knight away.)

Link: Hyaaah! (The Blade Knight lands near Mario as he stomps on a Goomba. A Hammer Bro jumps next to him and hits Mario away with a hammer.)

Mario: Oof!

Hammer Bro: Hahaha! (The Hammer Bro is shot with a bolt of lightning and falls over. The camera pans to see Cole as Aiden and Spencer shoot Koopas and Spikes around them.)

Cole: I say bring it. (We cut to Wright running from a Blade Knight and a Pipo Monkey.)

Wright: Help! Help me! (We cut to Toro punching a Goomba as Shadow spin dashes into a soldier in the background.)

Toro: Don't worry, mister! I'll save you! (Toro runs after Wright as they disappear behind a building.)

(We cut to a small grass patch in the city as a circle of fire appears. Scorpion's group appears from it and looks around.)

Sub-Zero: Earthrealm is in trouble.

Pit: Look at all these ships!

William: (Pointing.) Look! Over there! (The camera pans to see Wright being chased while Toro tries to catch up.)

Popo: We gotta help that guy! (We cut to Wright as he trips onto the ground. The Blade Knight raises his sword to kill Wright, but a shotgun suddenly goes off and sends the Blade Knight's body flying. The Pipo Monkey stops and begins shooting at the one who fired the shot, The Slayer. Ryu then runs up and performs a hadoken.)

Ryu: Hadoken! (It knocks the Pipo Monkey over. Toro runs over and helps Wright up.)

Toro: Are you okay? (The Slayer's shadow looms over them and Wright cowers.)

Wright: Don't shoot! Please! (Ellie walks up to Wright.)

Ellie: We're not here to hurt you. (She helps Wright up.)

Wright: Oh, th-thanks. Why didn't the armored guy say that? (The rest of Scorpions's team

meets with Toro and Wright.)

Nana: We're here to save the world!

Toro: Us too!

Drake: I don't suppose you've been wrapped up with Master Mind, have you?

Toro: Yeah! We're fighting his minions right now.

Pit: Right now? We're talking right now.

Toro: C'mon, I'll show you the others! (Toro runs off.)

William: Others?

(We cut back to the battle as Travis slices through a soldier. The camera pans to see Aiden and Agent 47 firing behind him. We cut to Frank hitting a soldier over the head with a bat.)

Frank: Get back, you! (The soldier turns around and aims his rifle at Frank. He shoots but Frank falls over and scrambles backwards on his hands.)

Soldier: This is your end. (The soldier shoots, but Hayabusa stabs into him at the same time. The bullet flies harmlessly overhead.)

Hayabusa: I will defeat all evil! (Dovahkiin and Amaterasu are seen running towards the fight behind him. Hayabusa helps Frank up.)

Frank: With your ninja skills, I can take it easy. (We cut to the Slayer cutting through a Blade Knight with the Crucible. Pit hits a Goomba away from Inkling with his club in the background. We then see Scorpion stab a Spike in the chest with his kunai. He then brings it over his head and slams it into a Pipo Monkey. We cut to Sub-Zero standing over a frozen Koopa. He looks back to the others. We cut to the two groups meeting.)

Scorpion: Heroes of Earthrealm?

Shadow: You could say that.

Pit: We're fighting the same fight.

Joel: From the looks of it, we'll need your help.

Mario: We-a need to stop Master Mind now. He'll get-a too powerful if we don't nip this in the bud. (We cut to Amaterasu looking up at the Helghan Cruiser.)

Joe: Yo, is your dog okay? (Issun pops out of Amaterasu's fur.)

Issun: Show some respect! Ammy here is more powerful than you think.

Niko: What the f*ck?

Link: What's she looking at?

Issun: It seems the one we're looking for is in that ship. That's probably what has Ammy's attention.

Fenix: So we're bringing the fight to the sky. (To Pit.) Well, angel. Gonna fly us up there?

Pit: I... uh... can't fly.

Fenix: Of f*cking course you can't.

Cole: The beast is coming.

Ryu: And we're here to slay it

Joel: Make every shot count. (A sound is heard overhead and the camera pans up to see the Egg Carrier flying over the city.)

Shadow: Eggman!

Boss: Eggs?

Shadow: Of course he'd be part of this. (Points at Egg Carrier.) Follow that ship! We'll find answers on it.

Spencer: Cavalry's here! (Our heroes run towards the Egg Carrier.)

(We cut to Sonic's group near the shoreline of the city. They have their sights set on the Helghan Cruiser.)

Sonic: I'm positive the one behind this is in that ship.

Booker: (Pointing.) What about those ships? (The camera pans to see the Halberd and Koopa airships over the city.)

Toejam: Great, more trouble.

Daxter: We can't catch a break.

Rayman: We can't give up! We'll take on a thousand ships!

Phelps: Don't speak too soon. (Phelps motions behind them to see the Egg Carrier soaring over the city.)

Jade: Not another one...

Sonic: That's the Egg Carrier.

Earl: How many eggs can it carry?

Sonic: No, it's Eggman's ship. He and his robots must be behind this.

Snake: Then we'll move towards that airship.

PaRappa: Uh, it looks like it's moving towards us. (A large group of Egg Robos descend from the ship over the city. Many of them make their way towards Sonic's group.)

Sonic: Get ready to fight!

Ryo: We'll show these robots we mean business! (Egg Robos begin to surround our heroes. Snake and Salem begin firing at them. We cut to Sackboy grabbing one with his Poppit.)

Narrator (LBP): Look at that. (Sackboy smashes it on the ground as we see Raziel and Guybrush slashing Egg Robos in the background. Diddy Kong also flies through on his rocket barrels while shooting peanuts. He lands next to Jade who smashes an Egg Robo with her Dai-jo.)

Jade: I've got a feeling the best is to come. (We cut to Toejam and Earl beating up on a flying Egg Robo. The camera pans out to see Phelps shooting at some of the robots while Ryo does a tornado kick into one. Sonic spindashes an Egg Robo in the middle of the frame.)

Sonic: Alright! (He turns around to see another large group incoming.) Uh oh!

(We cut to a ship docking at shore nearby. We see Crash's group on it.)

Nathan Drake: Land ho! (The gangplank is set out and our heroes walk onto shore.)

Spike: Finally, we're back to civilization.

Geno: I sense that Master Mind is here.

Aku-Aku: I feel it too. Hopefully there's still time to stop him.

Croc: Croc hopes so too.

Bubsy: (Putting an arm around Croc.) The heroes always win. Our chances of losing are about... (Counting on his fingers.) .01%. We've got this in the bag.

(We cut back to Sonic's group as the Egg Robos quickly overwhelm them. They're stacking on top of our heroes and holding them down. Diddy Kong breaks out from the top and screams. We cut back to Crash's group. Diddy Kong's scream is faintly heard which gets DK's attention. DK stops.)

Ty: (To DK.) What is it, mate? (DK listens and hears the scream again.)

Harry: Hey, I hear something too. (DK squints and looks over to see Diddy Kong being crushed by the Egg Robos. DK gets fire in his eyes and charges over. We cut to DK near the Egg Robos as he leaps up and slams his fists on the ground. The Egg Robos fly off of Sonic's group. DK slams his fist into an Egg Robo before leaping onto another one and tearing its arms off. Diddy Kong hops onto his shoulders and starts shooting his popgun. We cut to a line of Egg Pawns as two boomerangs fly through them. We see them fly back into the hands of Ty and Master Higgins)

Ty: Good aim, mate!

Higgins: All in the wrist.(We then see Nathan Drake join Salem and Snake as they shoot at the robots.)

Bubsy: Special delivery! (He throws an atom at a flying Egg Robo as it falls next to Jak and Daxter who shoot at the skies.)

Daxter: Look out evil-doers! (Spike, Shantae, and Phelps fight off robots in the background. Finally, we see Crash use his spin move on an Egg Robo and send it flying. With the robots gone, the two groups meet up. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are in the middle hugging and laughing.)

Harry: So, I guess your guy is friends with DK here.

PaRappa: Looks like a family reunion.

Geno: We're here for Master Mind.

Raziel: You too?

Bomberman: Wait, how many people are after this guy?

Jade: Not enough. His men killed my uncle.

Red: He separated me from Pikachu.

Booker: He's gonna destroy the city.

Shantae: Not just that, the whole world. (Suddenly, two round drones fly towards our heroes.)

Sonic: More of Eggman's machines?

Aku-Aku: No, those belong to Cortex. (The drones create two holograms, the heads of Cortex and Specter.)

Specter: Hello, humans!

Cortex: The Master Mind Empire welcomes you.

Crash: Woah!

Spike: Specter! I knew you were behind this.

Specter: Spike, how good to see you.

Cortex: Crash, Crash, Crash. Why must you always muck in my mud?

Toejam: Yo, Earl. It's that ape who tried to kill us.

Earl: Whaddya want from us now?

Specter: You have been cordially invited by Master Mind to attend his "End of the World Ceremony".

Cortex: You have front row seats to the destruction of this planet. Center of the city, don't be la- (The two drones are shot and explode. The group looks back at Salem.)

Salem: Those two were getting on my nerves.

Ryo: What are we gonna do?

Higgins: We don't have much of a choice. We have to stop this.

Phelps: Well, we better start moving towards the center of the city. (The camera zooms out and focuses on Bowser's airship fleet. We focus on Pac-Man's group in the sky.)

Peach: What was Bowser doing?

Coach: The city is in deep sh*t.

Dante: We got here just in time to see it get destroyed. (We see Marth and Uberhero look down towards the Halberd.)

Marth: That seems to be the leader of this fleet.

Uberhero: Let's board the ship and take them out.

Chris: How are we supposed to get on there? (The camera zooms into the control room of the Halberd. Olimar and Master Chief are attempting to control it.)

Olimar: I cannot steer us out of here!

Master Chief: It's on some sort of autopilot. I can't access a way out of it.

Toad: So we're just flying through the city! We're gonna crash!

Kratos: Be calm, boy. (Fox and Falco run towards the door.)

Isaac: Where are you two going?

Falco: We're getting the Arwings.

Fox: If we can't stop this ship, we'll stop all the others.

Toad: Take me with you! I wanna help. (Falco looks over at Fox.)

Falco: He's going with you.

Fox: Fine. (Fox points at Quote.) You, Quote.

Quote: (Points at himself.) Me?

Fox: Yeah, you go with Falco.

Quote: Yessir. (Quote follows Toad, Fox, and Falco out. The camera cuts to the Egg Carrier still in the sky. We cut inside to see Samus messing with the controls.)

Samus: I can't do anything. Its route can't be changed.

Lara: What're we gonna do? (Kirby suddenly perks up and points at the window.)

Kirby: Yah! (The camera pans to see the Halberd flying in front of them.)

Marston: What in God's name...?

Metabee: Another enemy.

Ness: (To Kirby.) Is that ship one of the bad guys'? (Kirby nods.)

Knuckles: Then let's take them out. I know this ship has some weapons somewhere.

Tails: We'll access the blasters on this thing and take it out. One less problem to worry about. (We see the two Arwings leaving the Halberd through the window.)

Kazooie: Looks like they had the same idea. (We cut to one of the airships with Koopas and Goombas on it. It is suddenly shot down by an Arwing as we see the two of them flying through the air. Fox's text box pops up. THis applies to everyone in the Arwing.)

Fox: That's another one down.

Quote: Nice work, Fox!

Falco: Fox, look behind you! (Fox's Arwing dips down as a missile from the Egg Carrier flies past it. It hits the side of the Halberd.)

Toad: They're shooting at us!

Fox: I hope they'll be alright in there. (We cut back to Pac-Man's team looking down at the Arwings.)

Villager: Look! Those ships are here to save us! (Villager smiles wide.)

Cloud: They're destroying the other ships. That means they'll come after us.

Villager: (Now surprised.) What?!

Dan: (Mumbles rapidly and puts hands on head.)

Prince: We need to do something. (Ori hides behind Crono.)

Arthur: What is there to do?

Dante: Pray. That's what we do. (We cut to the Halberd firing cannon balls at the Egg Carrier as Fox's Arwing flies by shooting more airships.)

Fox: A few more down. I'm heading to the higher ones to take them out.

Falco: Roger that, Fox. (The Arwing flies up and shoots at a couple airships, taking them out. We then see it going towards the one Pac-Man's group is on.)

Luigi: Mama mia!

Pac-Man: This is it! (We cut to inside the Arwing where Toad suddenly looks surprised and screams.)

Toad: Stop! (Fox flies above the airship.)

Fox: What?!

Toad: Th-The Princess! Luigi! My friends are on that ship!

Fox: Your friends?!

Falco: Fox, what's the holdup?

Fox: Change of plans. We found some of Toad's friends. We're gonna get them to our mother ship. (Fox turns to Toad.) I'm gonna eject you onto that airship. Steer them towards the bridge of our ship, got it?

Toad: (Nods.) You got it, Mr. McCloud. (We cut to Pac-Man's group.)

Ezio: We are alive?

Telly Vision: They stopped attacking us. But why? (The Arwing flies over them and Toad ejects out. He lands on the airship.)

Luigi/Peach: Toad! (They run up to reunite with Toad.)

Toad: Princess Peach! Luigi! I've been looking everywhere for you guys!

Luigi: Toad, have you-a seen Mario?

Toad: No. I thought he was with you, princess.

Pac-Man: Who's the little mushroom fella?

Toad: (Stands proud.) I am Captain Toad of the Toad Brigade, and I'm here to rescue you.

Coach: And where are you taking us? (Toad points down to the Halberd.)

Toad: We're landing down there. The rest of us are there.

Crono: Rest of you?

Toad: Just land this thing on the bridge. I'll explain while we drive. (We cut to the Egg Carrier and the Halberd shooting at one another. We cut to the Egg Carrier interior.)

Mega Man: We're taking a lot of hits. How much longer can we stay up here.

Tails: It's not looking good.

Marlow: They're taking a lot of hits too. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Sly: Don't hold your breath. (Banjo and Vectorman, who are around Sly. look down.)

Banjo: Doh...

Vectorman: Oh no... (We cut to the Halberd interior as Toad and Pac-Man's group walks into the control room.)

Sparkster: Toad, who're these guys?

Toad: Let me introduce her highness, Princess Peach.

Peach: (Curtsies.) Hello.

Shovel Knight: Huzzah! You have saved your princess.

Pikachu: Pika pika!

Shulk: And everyone else?

Chris: We're in this fight against Master Mind too.

Spyro: The more the merrier!

Ratchet: Don't celebrate just yet. We're taking a lot of hits.

Steve: What's that? (Steve points out the window to see the Helghan Cruiser floating in between both ships.)

Kratos: That ship. I recognize it.

Shovel Knight: That crazed general, he pilots that one.

Spyro: How did he find us?

Cloud: Who is that? (The Helghan Cruiser begins shooting multiple missiles at both ships. They hit dead on and both ships start to descend.)

Olimar: We're going down! Brace yourselves!

Samus: Everyone hold on! We're taking a hard landing! (We cut to Sonic's group as they watch the ships crash.)

Sonic: Eggman?

Snake: (Pointing at the Helghan Cruiser.) That's the ship from before.

Sonic: So they were against Eggman?

Jade: Let's check it out. (They run towards the Egg Carrier. We cut to the two Arwings landing near Mario's group. Fox, Falco, and Quote jump out.)

Fox: No!

Fenix: What happened?

Falco: Our friends were in there! (Fox, Falco, and Quote run towards the Halberd.

Sub-Zero: We better help them. (Mario's group runs after them. We cut to the group at the Halberd.)

Quote: We need to get in there and help them! (Falco turns around to see Mario's group.)

Falco: Who are you guys?

Mario: We're-a here to help.

Spencer: We'll get them out of there.

Conker: Yeah, for a price. (Popo nudges Conker.) Or free. Whatever. (Spencer uses his arm to get up. Conker, Boss, and Quote fly up. Link uses his hookshot to get up there.)

Boss: We'll be right back. (They run off to the control room. We see the Boss rip off the door to the room as the group goes inside to see Pac-Man's group groggily getting up.)

Quote: Guys! (Quote runs up to Taizo and helps him up.) Are you all okay?

Taizo: Yeah, talk about a rough landing. (Quote runs over to help more people. Kratos looks over at Conker, Link, Boss, and Spencer.)

Kratos: Who are these mortals?

Boss: Mortals? Talk about a God complex.

Kratos: I am a half God. Son of Zeus.

Link: We are very sorry. We did not mean any reproach.

Dante: We're lucky this ship is compact.

Spencer: Come with us. We're getting you out. (We cut back to outside the Halberd.)

Ryu: How did this happen?

Falco: We stole this ship. Wanted to stop the invasion.

Pit: Well, I guess that kinda worked. Ship is out of commission.

Ellie: There's still the big one. (Ellie points towards the Helghan Cruiser.

Issun: Lighten up. Furball here will put a stop to this.

Peach: Mario! (The camera pans up to see Pac-Man's group atop the Halberd. They slide down the side as Peach embraces Mario.) I was so worried. I thought Master Mind had gotten you. (They stop embracing as Luigi and Toad run up to him.)

Luigi: Bro!

Mario: Luigi! (The two hug.)

Toad: I knew you'd save us, Mario!

Mario: I'm-a sorry I got you all involved with this. Bowser released Master Mind.

Ezio: You knew Bowser?

Mario: (Nods.) He's an enemy to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Luigi: Mario... Master Mind betrayed Bowser.

Mario/Toad: Huh?

Cloud: That beast put up a good fight, but we vanquished him.

Mario: Bowser... he was blinded by power...

Toro: (To Peach.) Excuse me, are you a real princess?

Peach: Why yes I am.

William: Do not worry, princess. We will return you to your realm.

Shadow: We need to check out the other ship. Eggman is sure to be piloting it.

Joe: Lead the way, Shadow.

Marth: Then Master Mind will answer for what he's done. (The group heads out.)

(We cut to Sonic's group approaching the Death Egg.)

Nathan: What kind of ship is this?

Sonic: It belongs to an evil genius, Dr. Eggman.

Bubsy: You keep saying that name and I keep having to fight off laughter.

Sonic: I'll check the inside.

Spike: I'll come with you.

Jak: And us.

Daxter: Us? I didn't volunteer for that. (Sonic, Spike, and Jak climb up. We cut to the control room as everyone is getting up. Samus pushes R.O.B. upright.)

Samus: Is everyone okay?

Tails: Yeah.

Marlow: I'm okay.

Kazooie: Just a bit scratched up thanks to this parking job.

Banjo: It could've been worse. (A banging is heard at the door.)

Marston: (Readying revolver.) We have company.

Knuckles: Prepare for a fight. (They all stance up before the door is slammed open to reveal Sonic, Spike, and Jak.)

Daxter: Surprise!

Tails/Knuckles: Sonic?

Sonic: Tails! Knuckles! (The three run up to each other.)

Mega Man: You two know this guy?

Tails: Sonic is my best friend. (To Sonic.) I thought we lost you.

Sonic: I've been fighting off baddies left and right. (Looks around.) How'd you get Eggman's ship?

Ness: The mustached guy?

Lara: He was destroyed in his robot.

Dillon: He was working with Master Mind.

Knuckles: He stole the Master Emerald.

Spike: We better get out of here. The others are waiting.

Tails: Others?

Jak: A team to take down Master Mind. (Tails smiles and gives a nod.)

(We cut back outside to see Sonic return with Samus' group. We then see Mario's group approach them as Shadow spots Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.)

Shadow: Sonic?

Sonic: (Turns around.) Shadow?

Tails: Shadow! (All of the heroes are united at last.)

Shadow: With an army like that, I assume you've learned about Master Mind.

Sonic: (Nods.) We're here to take him on.

Tails: All for one!

Knuckles: And one for all! (We see Geno walk up to Mario and friends.)

Geno: Mario, somehow I knew you'd be here.

Mario: Geno?

Geno: (Bowing.) And the lovely princess as well.

Peach: (Laughing.) Always a pleasure, Geno.

Mario: If the stars sent you, it must be bad.

Geno: We need to act quickly. Who knows how far Master Mind has gone to achieve his goals. (We cut to Red running up to Pikachu.)

Red: Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pika pika! (Red leans down and Pikachu climbs onto his shoulders.)

Red: I thought I lost you for good, buddy. How on Earth did you get here? (Steve walks up.)

Steve: I made sure he found his way home. (Red turns to Steve.)

Red: Thank you. (As our heroes congregate, a booming voice suddenly fills the city. We know it to be Master Mind's.)

Master Mind: I was wondering when all of you would find each other. (Our heroes look up.) I didn't expect to p*ss off so many of you, but I think that works out in my favor. (We see Master Mind descend from the Helghan Cruiser, with two strands of glowing string wrapped around his arms. Cortex follows on his hoverboard and Specter follows with his floating throne. The camera zooms out more to see Meta Knight land on a nearby building that Radec is on. Bowser Jr. then flies in in his Koopa Clown Car.) As you all know, I am Master Mind.

Geno: Master Mind, you need to stop this.

Knuckles: Give me back the Master Emerald!

Master Mind: Scream all you want. You think I'll listen? (Mario notices Bowser Jr.)

Mario: Bowser Jr.?

Bowser Jr.: Surprised, Mario? Me and papa are gonna be the most powerful Koopas in existence.

Peach: Bowser Jr. ... Bowser is...

Dante: Your papa bit the dust, kid. (Dan mumbles in agreement. Bowser Jr. looks distraught for a moment before becoming enraged.)

Bowser Jr.: Liar! Liar, liar, liar! Me and papa are gonna rule this world with Master Mind. (The camera pans over to Meta Knight.)

Meta Knight: Kirby, somehow I knew you'd be here.

Kirby: (Confidently.) Poyo!

Meta Knight: Know my power, Kirby.

Ty: Hang on, mate. (Ty points to the glowing string around Master Mind.) Those strings. We saw those in the jungle temple. (DK nods.)

Wright: And in that airship! Seems like forever ago now.

Shantae: What do they do?

Sparkster: I don't trust it.

Master Mind: I knew that with the large number of you there are, I'd need more power. So, behold! (Master Mind raises his arms. Suddenly, multiple glass cases push out the top of the Helghan Cruiser, which lowers for our heroes to see. Inside the glass cases are characters wrapped in the glowing string. These characters include: Davy, Tak, Elena, Kass, Lightning, Funky Kong, Dimitri Rascalov, Vincent Brooks, Sunny Funny, Frank, Q*bert, Plucky, Peppy, Slippy, Darunia, Riki, Dunban, Kuro, Bandana Dee, Bentley, Murray, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Isabelle, Stefan Bekowsky, Johnny Gat, Silver, Altair, Ken Masters, Jill Valentine, Liu Kang, Waluigi, Globox, Haggar, Krystal, Chell, Chrom, Vexx, Fat Princess, Palutena, and Captain Syrup. There are also three larger capsules with the power star, the Master Emerald, and the Star Wand.)

Nathan: Elena! Elena! (DK and Diddy look angrily at Master Mind.)

PaRappa: Sunny Funny?

Fox: Peppy, Slippy, Krystal?! When... how...

Taizo: Darunia?

Shulk: You took my friends!

Toro: And mine!

Pit: Lady Palutena!

Villager: Isabelle?!

Ryu: Ken...

Master Mind: Yes, yes, scream towards your friends. They can't hear you now. I feel their power coursing through me. Fight me if you must, as I know you want to, but it might be better to stand down. (Mario looks down for a second before walking towards Master Mind.)

Mario: I didn't come-a all the way here to give-a up. All these people you've hurt, all the ones you will hurt, I can't-a let you do that. (Sonic, Crash, and Pac-Man walk up towards Mario.)

Master Mind: Another riveting call to action from Mario. Very well, but don't blame me for what happens next. (Electricity appears from Master Mind's hands as a wave of Egg Robos and airships start coming in from the background.)

Cortex: Oh, I am going to enjoy this. (Kratos, Master Chief, Chris, Ezio, Hayabusa, Scorpion, Cloud, Snake, Booker, and Salem join Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Pac-Man.)

Ezio: This could be the end, my friends.

Cloud: We've gotten out of worse.

Kratos: This day will be remembered for centuries.

Master Chief: Let's make this quick and painless.

Mario: Let's-a go! (Our army of heroes run towards the villains and their army. We cut to Fenix cutting through Egg Robos with the chainsaw part of his gun. The Slayer runs up next to him and rips an Egg Robo in half with his hands.)

Fenix: I like it. (He shoots at some Koopas.) Rip and tear. (We then cut to Marlow ripping through Goombas with Kulkulkan's Fangs. A group of Helghan soldiers then run up and begin shooting.)

Marlow: No, no, no! (We zoom in on Marlow as none of the shots hit.) Huh? (He looks over to see Sackboy shielding them by holding a car with his Popit.)

Narrator (LBP): Another win for our Sackthing! (An elephant then smashes through the soldiers. Marlow and Sackboy look over as the elephant transforms back into Shantae.)

Shantae: You're welcome.

Marlow: Thanks... elephant girl. (We cut to Master Mind blasting lightning around. Ness uses his PSI Shield to protect Inkling.)

Inkling: Woomy. (Master Mind is then hit by lightning and we pan to see that it's coming from Cole.)

Cole: You aren't the only one with lightning. (Master Mind starts pushing Cole's lightning back using his own.)

Master Mind: But whose is stronger? (Cole's lightning continues to be pushed back until he is joined by Pikachu and Dovahkiin who use their own lightning powers to push back Master Mind's electricity.)

Dovahkiin: He is not alone!

Pikachu: Pikachu! (The lightning all meets in the middle until it explodes. Master Mind is thrown onto the ground as Cole, Pikachu, and Dovahkiin are all pushed away. We cut to Knuckles punching a Goomba away with his fists. Ryu joins him and kicks away a Pipo Monkey. Suddenly, Bowser Jr. flies in and hits them both away with his Koopa Clown Car fists.)

Bowser Jr.: Hahahaha! (Dan runs up to Bowser Jr. and hits the Koopa Clown Car with his sword. Bowser Jr. punches Dan in retaliation and knocks his head off.)

Dan: (Mumbles angrily. His body looks for the head. We then cut to Specter.)

Specter: You humans will never take me down! (We see Niko, Reed, Quote, and Salem shooting at him, but his psychic wall protects him.) Nice try! (Specter shoots projectiles at the four of them, and they are knocked down.)

Spyro: Hey!

Specter: (Turning towards the noise.) Huh? (We pan over to see Spyro and Red on his Charizard flying towards Specter. They both breathe fire on him which burns him a bit.) You'll never defeat me! (The camera pans to see Aiden and Snake.)

Aiden: How about now? (Aiden presses a button on his phone. Specter's throne suddenly drops to the ground and he falls off.)

Specter: My throne may be out of commission, but I'm still here!

Snake: Not for long. (Snake takes out a device and presses a button on it. This causes a C4 to go off under Specter and launches him away.)

Specter: This isn't the last of meeeeeeee... (He disappears behind some buildings.)

Aiden: That's the last of him. (We cut to Alex Mercer ripping through soldiers and Koopas. A group behind him is then obliterated by an airship thrown by the Boss. DK with Diddy on his back then run through and throw Pipo Monkeys at some Goombas. We then cut to Sparkster fighting Meta Knight in the air.)

Meta Knight: No rematch will save you! (Meta Knight hits Sparkster out of the sky. We then see Tails and Banjo flying towards him.)

Tails: You aren't getting away with this. (Meta Knight spins into a tornado and throws them onto the ground. They are both dazed.)

Kazooie: Great plan, Banjo. Charge the enemy with the fox kid.

Banjo: Sorry, Kazooie. It went a lot better in my head. (We see Meta Knight land on the ground as the Prince runs up and slashes at him. He lands a hit, but Meta Knight hits him away. We then see Steve and Pit firing their arrows at Meta Knight, with a few hitting.)

Meta Knight: Oh!

Pit: Bullseye! (An explosive suddenly goes off near them and blows them away. The camera pans over to Radec, who threw the grenade.)

Radec: One more of those, and they'd be toast. (We see Isaac run up behind Radec. Radec quickly turns and grabs Isaac, throwing him into an Egg Robo. We then see Jak and Jade running towards him.)

Daxter: Look out, buddy. Here we come!

Radec: You'll have to find me. (Radec turns invisible. Jade and Jak stop.)

Jade: Really? He revealed our location.

Daxter: I like to think of it as playing the mental game. (Radec suddenly appears again and hits the butt of the gun against their heads, knocking them over.)

Radec: Almost too easy. (A red Pikmin suddenly lands on Radec's shoulder.) What? (A yellow Pikmin follows as the camera turns towards Olimar and Uberhero, an army of Pikmin with him.)

Olimar: Go, Pikmin!

Uberhero: Pata Patapon! (The Pikmin crawl all over Radec.)

Radec: Get off of me- (Radec is suddenly frozen by Sub-Zero. The Pikmin crawl off to avoid it. Radec is frozen solid. Sub-Zero joins Olimar and Uberhero.)

Uberhero: What do we do with him? (Kratos comes up behind them.)

Kratos: Leave him to me. (Kratos walks up to Radec and readies his axe. He slams it into Radec and sends him flying into a building.)

Radec: Lucky... shot... (Radec is bleeding, but still alive.)

(We cut to Shovel Knight and the Ice Climbers. Toad throws them turnips as they use their shovels and hammers respectively to hit them at Master Mind.)

Master Mind: You really think vegetables are enough? (Master Mind shoots lightning across them, knocking them all down. We cut to Mario as Sonic runs up to him.)

Sonic: You're the one who spoke earlier, right?

Mario: Yeah, that's-a me.

Sonic: We need to find a way to disconnect Master Mind from that ship. (They look over at Bowser Jr. as he flings Bubsy across the street.)

Bubsy: Yah!

Mario: If we can get Bowser Jr.'s Clown Car, we can fly up there and maybe use it to destroy that string.

Sonic: Got it! (Mario and Sonic run off. We cut to Cortex on his hoverboard.)

Cortex: Which of you are first to be blasted by me? (Cortex is then punched by Rayman's hand.)

Rayman: You're just a geek on a hoverboard.

Cortex: You sound like my mother. (Cortex shoots around wildly and hits Rayman, as well as Wright and Phelps who were fighting off Pipo Monkeys. A Pipo Monkey jumps onto Phelps, but is caught by Spike.)

Spike: Another one caught! (Behind Spike, PaRappa karate chops a Helghan soldier in the knees. Toro then flies in and kicks the soldier in the head, knocking him out. The camera then pans to see Travis and Dante slashing through numbers of soldiers and Koopas. Travis looks over at Dante.)

Travis: Cool sword. How much did it cost you?

Dante: Well, had to impale myself first.

Travis: That's metal as hell.

Dante: You have no idea. (An airship then crashes down in the background. The camera zooms out to the foreground to see Mega Man and Metabee firing bombs and missiles at ships above him. We cut to Meta Knight slashing Marth away with his sword. Guybrush then walks up and shows his sword.)

Guybrush: Uh, engarde?

Meta Knight: You are foolish to challenge me.

Guybrush: Well, I'm just the distraction.

Meta Knight: Huh?

Bomberman: Fire! (We cut to see Bomberman and Kirby with the bomb copy ability begin throwing bombs at Meta Knight. The bombs fire Meta Knight into the air. Cloud then jumps up and delivers a giant slash at Meta Knight. This sends him flying back. He is able to use his wings to slow his descent, but still falls wearily to the ground.)

Cloud: Another one down. Good job, Threepwood.

Guybrush: Finally, someone got my name right. (We cut to R.O.B. rolling around the streets with Chibi-Robo on his head. Chibi-Robo fires at enemies with his blaster. We then cut to Max and Drake shooting with two guns each in a circle.)

Drake: Don't let any of them get away. (In the background, Crono and Master Higgins slash their swords at Egg Robos. We then cut to a couple of airships landing next to a gas station. Samus and Nathan shoot at them.)

Samus: There's too many.

Nathan: We need something big to take them out. Hang on. (Nathan shoots at a gas pump and it explodes, leaving the ships in flames.)

Samus: That was a bit excessive.

Nathan: Maybe, but it worked. (We cut to Ratchet, Coach, and Fox shooting at Cortex. He uses his hoverboard to fly out of the way.)

Cortex: Really? When will you learn?

Frank: Hey, give us a smile! (Frank starts clicking away on his camera and blinds Cortex with its light.)

Cortex: Hey! I'm photosensitive! (Dillon then rolls into a ball and knocks Cortex onto the ground.)

Dillon: Not so tough now, huh?

Cortex: I'm not gone yet. (Cortex takes out a device and presses a button that teleports him away from Dillon.) Try and hit me now! (Master Chief runs up and shoulder charges Cortex. He drops the device and Master Chief steps on it, destroying it.)

Master Chief: You were saying?

Cortex: Pl-Please be gentle...

Master Chief: No. (Master Chief grabs Cortex and throws him through a window.) That should take care of him. (We cut to Master Mind shooting lightning into Joe.)

Joe: Ugh... not cool. (Suddenly, two boomerangs hit Master Mind in the head. They return to Ty and Link.)

Link: End this now. Your army is dwindling.

Master Mind: I don't care what big talk you have. I'm not giving up because some green-clad boy told me to. (Master Mind floats to the ground and shoots lightning at Link and Ty. Arthur jumps at Master Mind.)

Arthur: Come here! (Master Mind grabs and throws him.) Gah! (William and Ezio then slash at Master Mind with their swords, but he floats above them.)

Harry: Catch! (Harry throws a lit stick of dynamite at Master Mind. He grabs it and throws it at William and Ezio.)

William: Look out! (They dive out of the way just in time.)

Harry: Oops! My bad. (He is then hit with lightning. Marston and Booker then begin firing their guns at Master Mind. The bullets faze right through him, not being able to hit the matter he is made of.)

Master Mind: That never works. (We cut to him shooting lightning before we cut away. We see Joel and Ellie shooting at soldiers while Ori punches a Pipo Monkey away. We then cut to Croc performing a ground pound on a Goomba.)

Croc: Kersplat! (We then cut to above as Spencer uses his arm to get onto an airship and shoot the Goombas and Koopas onboard. Falco lands next to him and starts shooting at Egg Robos flying around. We cut to Bowser Jr. shooting cannonballs. We cut to Conker and Lara as one of the cannonballs hit Lara down.)

Conker: Hey, lady. You okay? (Another cannonball hits Conker.) Sh*t!

Bowser Jr.: Haha!

Peach: Bowser Jr.!

Bowser Jr.: Huh? (Peach walks up to Bowser Jr.)

Peach: You have to stop this. Your papa wouldn't have wanted this.

Bowser Jr.: Me and papa are gonna rule this world. He's alive! I know he is! (Bowser Jr. readies up a punch. Before he can hit, Sly grabs Peach with his cane and gets her out of the way.)

Sly: Don't you know not to hit a lady?

Bowser Jr.: Try and stop me! (The Clown Car gets wheels as he drives around. We see him crash into Chris and Agent 47, knocking them down.) Try to knock me down! (A rumbling is heard underneath.) Huh? (Taizo erupts from the ground and knocks Bowser Jr. out of the Clown Car.)

Taizo: Someone needs to put you in time out. (We then see Luigi suck up Bowser Jr. using the Poltergust. His shell gets stuck, so he doesn't go all the way in.)

Luigi: So long, Bowser Jr. (Luigi shoots Bowser Jr. out towards where the other villains are knocked out.)

Bowser Jr.: Wawawawawawawa! (We cut to Hayabusa slashing through an Egg Robo as Raziel stabs a soldier in the background.)

Hayabusa: Wretched machines! (We then cut to the Villager holding a bowling ball. He bowls it into a group of Goombas. The camera then pans to see Toejam, Earl, and Ryo using their different fighting styles on a group of Koopas.)

Toejam: (To Ryo.) You know funk-fu, man?

Ryo: No, maybe you can teach me if we make it out of here.

Earl: Sounds good, man. (We cut to Pac-Man running up to Crash. Amaterasu clasw at a Goomba in the background.)

Pac-Man: Hey, you.

Crash: Woah!

Pac-Man: (Pointing towards Helghan Cruiser.) I gotta get up there. Can you help? (Crash looks over at Cortex's hoverboard and runs over to it. He turns it on and gets on.)

Aku-Aku: Are you coming?

Pac-Man: (Smiling.) Make some room. (Pac-Man jumps on. They fly past Scorpion ripping a soldier's head off and Geno and Vectorman shooting at Egg Robo. We then cut to Mario getting into the Koopa Clown Car. It begins to float.)

Mario: Time to end this.

Sonic: I'm coming too. (Sonic jumps in.)

Mario: Let's-a get going. (We see the Koopa Clown Car and hoverboard fly upwards. We cut back to Master Mind shooting lightning into Shulk. Shadow then spin dashes into him, knocking Master Mind over.)

Master Mind: (To Shadow.) That isn't enough to take me down.

Shadow: I know, because Sonic is working on that part.

Master Mind: What? (He looks up to see our heroes flying towards the Helghan Cruiser. We cut to Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Pac-Man landing near the three large capsules.)

Pac-Man: We gotta break these open.

Mario: I'll-a work on destroying the string. (He jumps back into the Koopa Clown Car.)

Sonic: Let's make this quick. (Sonic spin dashes and begins rapidly ramming into the capsule with the Master Emerald. We then see Crash spinning rapidly into the Star Rod capsule. Finally we see Pac-Man beginning a rev roll. He then uses it on the last capsule and breaks it open. We see all three capsules break open. We cut to Master Mind flying towards Mario as he suddenly falls to the ground clutching his arm.)

Master Mind: No! Stop! (He starts shooting electricity wildly at Mario who uses the Koopa Clown Car saw blade to cut through the glowing string connected to Master Mind. He releases a scream as black and purple light fills the battlefield. We cut to Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Pac-Man returning to everyone else. They are all looking at where Master Mind was. Smoke covers him up.)

Mario: Is it-a over?

Sonic: Did we win? (We see the smoke clear to reveal a dark-haired man in a lab coat where Master Mind once was. His hair is long, and he looks up to reveal glasses. He looks out at our heroes.)

???: You-You saved me. (Mario walks up to him.)

Mario: Master Mind?

???: He had control of me. I'm free now. Thank you.

Mario: You're welcome. Now we can go home.

???: Yeah... home. Suddenly, lightning erupts from the figure's hand and into Mario's chest. He drops onto his knees.

Peach: Mario! (The Prince reaches for his dagger, but this figure pushes a button on a controller. We see the two satellites from before shoot two beams at our heroes. They're stuck standing still.)

Mario: M-My friends. What'd you do to them? (The figure, who is still Master Mind but more human, gets up.)

Master Mind: They're under my control now, thanks to Psycho Mantis. You really believed that phony story of Master Mind controlling me? You'll believe anything that gets you back to smiling hills and singing mushrooms.

Mario: You're still him.

Master Mind: What gave it away?

Mario: But why? Why do this?

Master Mind: You are so naive. Why do you think I brought everyone to this world? To this very spot. Just for fun? No. (He grabs Mario by the overalls.) This world turned me into an outcast. I came looking for a world that would accept me, but you and your stupid Mushroom Kingdom were even worse. You imprisoned me in that crystal for years.

Mario: So you want to destroy us.

Master Mind: I'm destroying you, the people of this world, this entire universe. Then I take your kingdom for myself.

Mario: You won't get away with this. Kill me, and others will come. They always do.

Master Mind: Why do you think I gathered everyone here? I knew heroes like you would come after me, but look at them now. (Mario turns to see our heroes glassy-eyed and with a dark aura surrounding them all.) They work for me now.

Mario: No...

Master Mind: Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill you. I want you to see this. (A portal opens in front of Master Mind.) So long, Mario. (Master Mind throws Mario into the portal and it closes. He looks upon his army of heroes.) Phase one is finally complete. Now, it's a ticking clock to doomsday.

(The camera zooms out to the fires raging in the city, our army of heroes, the Helghan Cruiser, and the new Master Mind.)
