Super Nintendo RPG: Legend of the Many Something-or-Others

A Nintendo Video-Game Crossover!
OOC

A few years ago, Mario saved the Mushroom World from the evil, weapons-based Smithy Gang. During this adventure, Mario was aided by Princess Toadstool, his new friend Prince Mallow, his foe Bowser, and the enigmatic Star warrior ♥♪!? (known as Geno). During their descent into Mushroom World, the Smithy Gang shattered Star Road into seven Star Pieces. With Star Road broken, the wishes of Mushroom World were unable to be granted. Geno was tasked by "a higher authority" to help Mario restore Star Road and return the world to normal.
Before Mario's gang defeated the Smithy Gang, they faced an inter-dimensional being known as Culex who was sent from his home dimension of Vanda by the Dark Mage to conquer the Mushroom World. Fortunately, Culex discovered that Mushroom World was uninhabitable to his kind and departed, but not after challenging Mario, the world's "strongest knight," to a fight.

Unbeknownst to Mario and his friends, upon his final moments before Star Road was fixed, Smithy made a wish. His wish was inexplicably granted, allowing him to return. Biding his time without his gang, Smithy found himself in the fantasy dimension of Vanda, Culex's home, and defeated the Dark Mage, Culex's superior. Merging with the defeated Mage, Smithy has now returned, years later, to exact his revenge on Mario. Using his now seemingly-unlimited power, Smithy caused several different dimensions to crash together into the Mushroom World, bringing characters and monsters from each into his new kingdom. Geno has returned and has summoned heroes from the different universes in order to combat Smithy and the villains from other worlds, as well as to return the dimensions to normal. However, Geno immediately noticed that Mario...is missing! Now with the help of the other heroes, Geno plans on recovering the magical "Something-or-Others" that were scattered among the land. The Something-or-Others are filled with magical, extra-dimensional energy and are the key to undoing Smithy's evil magic. ​

 

The Mushroom World has changed drastically since the revived and empowered Smithy returned, crashing several dimensions into the Mushroom World. The steel wizard returned not just with new powers, but with a new appearance, twisted by the dark magic that now powered him. While Dark Mage Smithy may not have been familiar with those other worlds originally, he wasted no time laying claim to them as well. He vowed to make this new amalgam of worlds his own kingdom and now, with the Dark Mage's powers, it was more than possible...it was under way. He cast out his old gang, replacing them with magically-powered machines, appearing to be a combination of crystal and steel. However, old habits died hard and each of his new mindless soldiers still resembled weapons. His army was able to destroy most opposition easily. In addition to his new immense power and vast army, Smithy was now aided by the villains of the other worlds -his new gang. Smithy was sure that not all of his new comrades followed him out of loyalty, but he couldn't care less as long as they followed. Besides, with his new power, he could easily destroy any opponent.
Now, heroes from different dimensions find themselves trapped in this new world, without warning or explanation. Lost and without direction, they have started to look for answers before a mysterious figure in a blue hood reaches out to them in different ways, beckoning them to join him.

Calem gasped, out of breath, as he skated into the forest. Next to him, his pal Sylveon ran gracefully, not quite at full speed. His fists were clenched tight and his knuckles white, but Calem pushed on. He continued to run through the forest, noting the larger-than-normal mushrooms around, until he ran into a clearing. Making sure nobody (or nothing) was around, Calem slid into a stop and crouched, hands on his knees. Sylveon rubbed its face against his legs, purring with half of a whimper.
"What the heck was that, Sylveon?" Calem asked between the breaths he struggled to catch. Receiving only a whimsical cry in return, Calem couldn't help but smile. "At least they didn't catch us, right? They're no match for the Kalos Pokemon Champion and his trusty Sylveon!" He said enthusiastically as he fell onto his rear against a tree. 'Though it'd be nice if I knew why my other Pokemon seemed to have disappear,' he added to himself as he opened his bag. There were several items inside, mostly medicinal, but Calem was searching for Pokeballs -either vacant or occupied- and failed to find a single one. Noticing his Mega Ring, Calem grabbed it. He had deposited into his bag after realizing the only three Pokemon that he had on his person -Chesnaught, his starter; Sylveon, one of his evolved captures; and Yveltal, the Legendary Pokemon that Team Flare attempted to use as a weapon- were incapable of Mega-Evolving. However, something told him that the whatever force had invaded Kalos should not be allowed to harness the technology of the Mega Ring. Thus, Calem quickly snapped it onto his wrist. He raised the wrist to his eyes as Sylveon started to walk around, checking the perimeter. As he stared into the empty stone slot, Calem recounted the events that led him to his current predicament.
He was searching Kalos for Articuno, a Legendary Pokemon that Calem was attempting to catch, but kept fleeing. After Articuno fled one of their several battles, Kalos was hit by what Calem had assumed was an earthquake. Strangely, bright light erupted from the cracks in the ground, blinding Calem. When the Pokemon Trainer was able to see again, Kalos was changed; he had assumed that he was in some strange new world, but he had found himself in what was obviously an abandoned Vaniville Town, right in his bedroom. He received a Holo Call from his mother, who said she had sought refuge in Professor Sycamore's lab in Lumiose City. Calem attempted to travel to Lumiose, but the path outside of Vaniville was...different. Sharp-fanged plants had replaced the flowers of the region and the path to Aquacorde Town now led straight into a forest, but not one Calem recognized. Before he could explore the forest, he received a Holo Call from a strange, blue-hooded figure who demanded his help to save not just the world, but the very fabric of existence. The figure asked Calem to meet him at the center of the forest. Though Calem was skeptical of the figure's claims, he had no time to think about them as he was soon attacked by a walking spear with some sort of crystalline texture. Wondering if it was some form of a Honedge, Calem checked his Pokedex, but the machine didn't recognize the creature. Without warning, the spear-creature attacked him and Calem responded with Sylveon. His Pokemon's Fairy Wind shattered the creature into tiny pieces, but it had started to reform instantly. Not wasting time, Calem donned his Roller Skates and took off, now finding himself in this clearing.
Calem sighed; too many questions ran through his head. What was that earthquake and that following light? What happened to Kalos? Was his mother alright? What was that creature? Where were his other Pokemon? And why, despite his mother and that hooded figure calling him, could Calem's Holo-Caster not reach anyone else? Any time that Calem tried to call Professor Sycamore or Serena or his mother again, he only received static. The Trainer dropped his arms onto his knees and looked around for Sylveon, but his Pokemon had disappeared. "Oh no..."

 

Saving Terra and using the crystals to end Chaos once and for all was the least of his problems. Even when he almost died, he managed to pull through for the planet he loved and the light of harmony he longed to protect. Now The Warrior of Light was in a different type of situation, a strange situation. Last he remembered, he was returning home, returning to the kingdom of Cornelia. He had recently woken up from what seemed like a long fall, a fall that could have killed him normally, but then again, a guy like him was not normal. The knight shrouded in blue made his way through the strangest forest he had ever been in. Giant mushrooms, in his travels, he had never seen such a sight. No, this was something different. His eyes immediately went to the carnivorous plant but the plant wasn't what caught his attention, it was the crystalline shards coming towards him. It passed by him, then reformed into something he couldn't discern. It was humanoid, having the features like a Mannequin than anything else. It started to approach him, shakingly and awkwardly and the Warrior could immediately tell that it was a threat. He reached to his side and drew the longswordfrom the side sheath that hung around his waist. With his sword in his right hand and the shield in his left, he pointed the sword towards the foul creature that dared to stand against him, only utterring three words as a prayer to both his sword and to Cosmos. "For the Light." He charged into battle.​

 

"Yo. I found one. ... Some tiny girl. Looks human,'cept for that hair color. ... Hm? Well, she has some sword. You sure she's one? Looks really young. ... Whatever you say, dude. I'll get her. Leave it to me!" The Battletoad known as Zitz shut off the communication device in his gauntlet and rested his hands on the branch below him between his feet. He was crouched, knees above his head, near the point of a tree. If it wasn't obvious by his 6'8 bipedal toad appearance, his posture definitely revealed his nature. Like his roommates, coworkers, and best friends -Rash and Pimple- Zitz loved being a 'Toad. Yeah, there were times that he missed being a human (having to crouch to fit through doors was a hassle), but what was there to hate about being a Battletoad? In fact, that was exactly what they were talking about just a couple of days ago. Professor T. Bird and Princess Angelica revealed that they found a way to revert the 'Toads back to humans, if they so wish, but Zitz didn't want to go back to being simply Morgan Zeitler. Being an 'intergalactic, kick-assing, Princess saving 'Toad' was just too much fun! Luckily, his friends agreed. Just moments later, however, Zitz' communication hardware on his gauntlet went haywire. In the distraction, the 'Toads, Professor, and Princess didn't realize that the Vulture, their ship, was flying straight into what appeared to be a small black hole, one of many opening up around them. Zitz blacked out and woke up to find himself next to a hooded figure who revealed to him the nature of portals and what happened to, well, reality. Unable to find his friends, Zitz agreed to help the figure track down other warriors to aid them in restoring the universe back to normal. And now, here he was, high above some human girl who didn't appear old enough to drive a car, but was staring down one of Smithy's weapon-creatures. Zitz prepared to jump down and rescue her...but then decided to see if the girl really was a warrior that they could use. If she could take down the spear, awesome! If not, he would save her and be on his hoppity-merry way. "Come on. Show me what ya got!" He cheered to himself, ready to pounce.

​

"Sylveon!" Calem whispered loudly as he searched through the forest for his Pokepal. "Sylveon! Where did you go?" He moved slowly, hoping to not run into any other strange Pokemon...that spear thing was a Pokemon, right? Pushing the question to the back of his head, he reached for a Pokeball, gripping it tightly just in case he had to call out another one of his Party. Within a matter of minutes, he noticed a furry and pink curved tail sticking out from under a bush. "There you are!" He exclaimed, dropping to his knees and diving into the bush. Sylveon noticed him and purred quietly before sticking its nose in the other direction. "What? What do you see?" Calem whispered as he pushed through the bush's leaves to see what was on the other side. "Hey, that's..." There she was! Sylveon found Serena, but... she was wearing a hat. Calem couldn't recall ever seeing her in a hat; that was his thing. Also...was that a Fennekin? Serena's Fennekin had evolved to a Delphox long ago, just like Shauna's Froakie had become a Greninja and his Chespin a Chesnaught. Maybe this was a newly hatched Fennekin? After all, Shauna had traded her starter's egg to Calem after he defeated the Pokemon League. It wasn't too far of a stretch that Serena's starter also laid an egg. Still...something was off about her. Calem got the idea that Sylveon suspected the same thing. Silently observing, Calem stuck his head out just a bit to see more. 'Oh no!' Serena was facing off against a reforming spear-creature! Could it be the same one that he fought earlier? Forget observing. Time to battle! "Let's go, Sylveon!" He ordered, jumping out from the bush. "Serena!" He called out his rival as Sylveon pranced out from behind him.

​

As the spear-warrior was struck down by the Warrior of Light's blade, a voice called out from the darkness of the trees. "Well, well, aren't you just the image of valiant?" Suddenly, a door of swirling shadows appeared in front of a tree and a hooded man walked out, clapping his hands slowly. As the door disappeared, the man took off his hood, revealing grey-streaked black hair tied into a long pony tail, pointed ears, an eyepatch over his right eye, a very noticeable scar, and a strangely golden eye. "You remind me of me, you know?" He said, pointing to the armored man and then to himself. "You like you..." he looked around the forest, his eye dropping to one of the mushrooms, "just don't quite fit in." He glanced back at the Warrior, smiling. "Sucks for you, though. Higher-ups don't really want you here. People like you, they tend to get in the way of bigger things." He pointed to the shards of the spear-warrior that the Warrior had defeated. They were reforming quickly. "See? Time for you to go away."

 

His blade struck and shattered the crystal being. It was a one-strike and suspiciously easy. He held his blade up straight and then flourished it to his side. He then heard a mysterious voice and his blue eyes looked up, glancing around. Then his gaze drew to a dark portal materializing infront of him. He gripped his sword, wordlessly listening to the man's words. He took in the man's appearance, tied back black and grey hair, black coat. His gaze drew to the scar running down the man's face, the eyepatch, and the golden eye. He narrowed his eyes and gripped the hilt of his sword, was that a threat he just heard? "Whatever your type is up to, it can't be for good."He hissed calmly. He then turned his head to see the crystal mannequin slowly reform. He turned to it and frowned, persistent enemy..he didn't have time to fight. He needed to find the source of this anomaly and stop it. He pointed his sword at the walking spear-man."I'm defeating this fiend, and then I will come after you."He side-said to Xigbar. He gripped his shield and rushed the crystal man, swinging his shield and knocked the crystal into the air.​

 

"Where...on Bionis am I?"

It was such an odd place he was in an area that was so bizarre and held many mysteries to the young blond haired boy.
Reaching such a place was a big blur, but at this point all he really thought about was how his friends were doing with his absence and could only hope that it did not cause them too much trouble. "I hope Reyn and the others are okay...hmm, but I'd best start moving in order to find a way out of here, I cant keep them waiting any longer" Shulk muttered as he begun to walk onwards.

His mission was an important one, but even so he had no idea where he was going and as he walked on it just seemed like he was going nowhere. Eyes closed, he slumped and let out an exasperated sigh before opening one eye and stared over at one of the giant mushrooms that were all over the forest. Unable to help but fall prey to his curiosity, Shulk ran over to one of the giant mushrooms and kneel down next to it as he began to examine it. "Fascinating, I've never seen such mushroom on Bionis before, I wonder what caused them to grow so big? was it the soil? or perhaps some form of ether in the forest" Shulk said before pausing as he closed his eyes and let out a small chuckle "heh..now'd be the time that Reyn would say something like stop being a nerd or something..." Shulk said rising up to his feet once more at the thought of his friends. When it came down to the land he always couldn't help but feel fascinated with it, after all it was his home and the Bionis held many secrets.

Opening his eyes, Shulk prepared to leave once again, but his eyes widened and immediately his eyes began to glow blue. In his vision he saw it, he saw was seemed to be a spear being flung straight towards him and pierced his chest. His eyes stopped glowing and his eyes remained widened in shock "A vision?!" Shulk said before immediately jumping backwards as spear had flown through the air and hit the spot that he had previously stood upon. "An enemy?!" Shulk said grasping the red blade resting upon his back and narrowed his eyes as he searched for his opponent.

Finding nobody, his eyes immediately returned back to the spear that was lodged into the ground the moment it begun to move. "What the?" Shulk said the moment the spear got it head out of the ground and stood on its feet. "A mechon?! no..its different" Shulk said pulling out the blade on his back "Whatever it is, its no match for the Monado!" Shulk said as the blade of his sword opened up, letting a lazer blade burst forth. Rushing forward Shulk jumped forward raising the blade upwards slashing downwards, slicing the spear in half. With opponent down, Shulk stood and sighed "that was easy...but what exactly is it?" Shulk said ready to place the Monado away, but immediately prepped himself once more the moment the crystalized spear moved and began to repair itself. "Self reparation!?" Shulk said preparing his sword. "Very well, come then, you are no match for the Monado's power!" Shulk declared rushing forward to defeat the spear once more.

 

Zitz grinned as the battle below him ended quickly. Okay, so this girl is totally a hero. He wondered what dimension she came from and what her world was like. Imagining a world where coliseum battles dictated the government and the warriors were the children of the political candidates, fighting for their parents' seat in offic- "Hey, where'd you go, little warrior dudette?" He exclaimed, realizing he was too busy fantasizing to notice the little girl leave. Seeing a flurry of pink scurry awaying in the distance, Zitz leaped down, landing on a pile of crystal powder before they reform. "Hey, wait up!" He yelled as he leaped high in the air, flipping over the girl and landing in front of her. "I gotta talk to you!"

Luigi's bright eyes watched the man closely. He tilted his head curiously as he stared from behind a tree at the man's back. 'Wow, he's tall...' Luigi thought, noting the man's superior height. The red suit reminded Luigi of something, but he pushed the thought to the back of his head. He gripped the tree tightly, pulling his head out a little farther. The weight of the Poltergust on his back was heavy, but he was used to it by now. In his pocket, the Dual Scream was quiet. Luigi wasn't entirely too sure what he was doing before all of this happened -the adventures with his brother were starting to blur together- but he knew he wasn't haunting ghosts or currently communicating with Professor E. Gadd. He had finished repairing the Dark Moon a while ago and returned the equipment to his scientific friend. But here he was, in a messed up version of the Mushroom Kingdom he's helped save with the Professor's equipment and Mario was nowhere to be found. Before everything could digest, he received a message on his Dual Scream, but not from Gadd. The same hooded blue figure had told Luigi to meet him in the forest. Something about him seemed familiar. Not questioning it as much as he should have, he followed his Dual Scream's map towards the coordinates, but had snuck up on this red-suited man instead.

​

​

"Um...uhh....well, ... what?" Calem stood, open-jawed at the scene that had unfolded before him. Sylveon gave him a curious purr, obviously sharing his sentiment. "I...don't know. How did he do that? Do you think it was a Pokemon's illusion? Can any of them do that? I mean, I read about this one Legendary Pokemon that ate people so mayb-wait, not important!" He rambled. Truth be told, he was extremely curious as to what Serena's relationship with the silver-haired man --after all, he was completely ignored by the man-- but that was not the question of the day. "Serena, are you -I mean, are you okay?"

​

​

Xigbar shrugged as he watched the warrior attack the reforming weapon. "As if! Take me on, huh?" He grinned and raised his right hand near his face. "Sorry to tell you, but you're not gonna get that chance," He replied, snapping his fingers. Several more portals of darkness opened near him and a group of more walking spears walked through. Without an order, the spears marched towards the Warrior.

 

The Warrior of Light defeated the crystal fiend. The only problem was that this would lead to more enemies spawning. As much as he didn't want to, he would have to fight. The man spoke again and he turned to him, pointing his sword at the gun slinger. "I have no time to deal with you or your cronies. Tell me where I am."He said, but before he could make his threat clear, even more of those crystal beings began to saunter out of dark portals, wordlessly walking towards him. His eyes sternly sharpened as he looked at the summoner of these monsters. "Fine, it looks like I'm going to have to obtain my answers by force."The Nameless warrior said, slight annoyance laced his stoic tone. He flourished his sword to the side and brought his shield up, bending his knees and then charged into the crystal beings. He wasn't specifically targeting them however, he was targeting the summoner who brought them here, Xigbar.​

 

​

"Uh, well," Calem folded his arms as he took in all of Serena's response. "If he's not human or a Pokemon, then what could he be?" The Kalos Champion ran several scenarios through his head, using his newfound deducting powers taught by his former partner, Looker. Could the man have been some kind of Team Flare member? He didn't dress like one nor did he act like one, but who else could have the technology to -"Wait, what do you mean about Sylveon? She's not my second Eevee, Serena, she's my first," he responded, matter-of-factly. It was true that he had most of the other Eeveelutions, a project he had given himself after defeating the Pokemon League (Only two more evolutions left!), but Serena had battled against his Sylveon before. "You know that, I used Sylveon against you in Kiloude, right after I fought the Pokemon League..."
Whatever was off about 'Serena,' it was starting to bother Calem more and more.

​

"Well, well, looks like we've got a party crasher," Xigbar noticed as the newcomer's pet blasted Smithy's warriors with fire. As another wave of the spear warriors were repelled with another creature, one utilizing water, Xigbar thought of a former teammate, which reminded him of his mission. "Sorry, but we're going to have our fun another time," he taunted as his Corridor of Darkness opened behind him. "Be a good boy while I'm gone~" and with that, Xigbar disappeared.

"You can call me Zitz, tactical genius and Battletoad extraordinare," Zitz replied enthusiastically with a bow. "But uh," he grinned shamefully, "I'm not the one you should be talking to. You're not from here, right?" He asked, waving an arm to showcase their surroundings, "You see something's wrong, too. Well, I know a guy that can help us with that, but we gotta get movin'!" He pointed to his right, where he knew the center of the forest was located. "And what should I call you, little warrior girl?"

Luigi yelped when the spear attacked the man. He then gasped when the spear barely missed the man and the man proceeded to pick it up?! "Oh, no! No, no, no, no!" Luigi hopped in urgency and ran around towards the man, waving his Poltergust furiously with one hand. "Don't touch it!" He demanded in a timid and high voice as he aimed the Poltergust towards the spear. "Umm, we need to l-leave," Luigi told the man as he sidestepped away from the spear.

 

When the strange creature appeared to help him, breathing fire to singe the crystal spear men, The Warrior of Light was momentarily surprised, though he kept his charge, using his shield to knock away the crystal mannequins that dared stand in his way. He gave Gold a light grunt in response, acknowledging his plan. A diversion sounded good right now. A portal of darkness appeared behind Xigbar and the Warrior raised his sword to strike at the gun slinger, striking at nothing as Xigbar vanished, leaving little vapors of darkness in his wake. His forehead wrinkled in frustration. "He got away.."He murmured, standing up and sheathing his sword in the sheath on his side. Then he turned to the boy who summoned those monsters to attack his enemies, walking towards him."I suppose you're an outsider to this land as well."He surmized."Those monsters are powerful..where do you hail from?"He asked. ​

 

"Hey! Move out of the way!"

The sudden voice calling out to Shulk immediately caught his attention and immediately glanced over at the source of the voice. What he saw was what seemed to be a man dressed in something that looked like a mechanical armour. His right arm was shaped as a canon and from what he saw it seemed like it was about to shoot something from it. In such a moment there was no time for him to ponder about this stranger and immediately leapt backwards in order to avoid the blast.

"Did that do it?!" Shulk said watching the beam hit the crystallized and destroy it. Closing his eyes, Shulk let out a deep sigh before lower the Monado and stared over at the newcommer. At this point Shulk had to be weary of anybody he met, but the fact that he had warned and helped him was good enough for Shulk. The lazer blade of the monado vanished and the blade closed as Shulk walked up to the stranger. "Thanks for your help, my name is Shulk...do you happen to know where we are?" Shulk asked keeping out his sword in case any more enemies would appear.
