An ominous howling noise fills the stadium as the sky is filled with red clouds. The Halberd arrives and drops Shadow Bugs into the stadium, which form into Subspace Army troops. Peach and Zelda join Mario and Kirby as they fight off the invaders. Shortly afterwards, the Ancient Minister appears, dropping a Subspace Bomb that is prepped with two R.O.B.s and set for detonation in three minutes; the Ancient Minister quickly retreats to the Halberd as it begins to depart. As Mario dashes to investigate the bomb, a mysterious smoke cloud appears, and a cannonball is fired from it that propels Mario out of the stadium far into the sky. In the chaos, Peach and Zelda are thrown into individual cages, which are held by [[Petey Piranha]]. Only Kirby is left to fight Petey.

In the chaos, Peach and Zelda are thrown into individual cages, which are held by [[Petey Piranha]]. Only Kirby is left to fight Petey.


Upon breaking one of the cages, Petey explodes in defeat, as Kirby and the princess he freed (Peach/Zelda) jump away. Wario makes an entrance, leaping in from nowhere with his Dark Cannon pointed at Kirby and Peach/Zelda. He prepares to fire, but notices that the other cage has broken and Zelda/Peach is lying outside it, in no condition to evade. Wario turns his Dark Cannon to the easier target and fires, turning Zelda/Peach into a trophy; he quickly grabs the trophy and leaps away. Kirby and Peach/Zelda begin chasing him, but Kirby notices that the Subspace Bomb is about to explode, and summons a [[Warp Star]] for the pair to escape on. The Midair Stadium is then consumed by Subspace.

The Midair Stadium is then transported into Subspace.


Pit watches from Skyworld as the stadium is sucked into Subspace. He turns away to find [[Palutena]], who provides him with a [[Palutena's Arrow|bow]] and commands him to save the world from the Subspace Army. Pit leaps outside and into the clouds to begin his task. He finds the Halberd quickly; it passes through Skyworld and drops a group of Shadow Bugs that become opponents for him to fight. After some travelling, Pit comes upon Mario. After Pit revives him, Mario teams up with Pit to try and chase down the Halberd, but the pair run out of terrain to traverse, leaving them unable to continue chase. However, an [[Arwing]] flies by, which also appears to be pursuing the Halberd.

Meanwhile, Mario and Pit have come to solid ground and are traversing [[The Plain|a plain]], continuing their pursuit of the Halberd. When they catch up to the Ancient Minister, he escapes without much effort.

Having landed from his flight, Diddy moves through the jungle searching for help to rescue DK. He finds the crashed Arwing beside [[The Lake|a lake]] and tries to investigate when [[Rayquaza]] emerges from the lake. Seemingly upset that its territory has been invaded, Rayquaza fires an energy ball at the Arwing, then grabs Diddy with intent to harm him. {{SSBB|Fox}} then leaps out of the Arwing and frees Diddy, with the two proceeding to defeat Rayquaza. Afterwards, Diddy physically convinces Fox to join him in trying to save DK, and the two battle through more of the Koopa Troop. Eventually Bowser appears - but with an odd purple aura and glowing yellow eyes. He is defeated, but dissolves into Shadow Bugs as the real Bowser fires a Dark Cannon shot from just out of view, which misses. Diddy intends to fight Bowser to avenge DK, but Fox pulls Diddy away and escapes with him, sharing DK's sentiment about it being too dangerous to fight Bowser.

Inside [[The Research Facility (Part I)|the Isle of Ancients' research facility]], {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} has snuck inside and is wandering around while fighting Subspace Army minions and parts of the R.O.B. Squad. She finds some sort of generator holding a Pikachu captive, and breaks it to release it; the pair continue to move through the complex. After a while, they find a control room, which lets Samus see the room where the Power Suit is being held.

Kirby and Peach/Zelda have reached [[The Lake Shore|the shore of the western lake]]. Kirby spots something and rushes off in pursuit, leaving Peach/Zelda behind, who is ambushed by Bowser and shot by his Dark Cannon. A waiting Shadow Bug clone of Bowser uses the defeated trophy to change into a clone of Peach/Zelda while he sneaks off with the real one. By this time, Mario/Link and Pit/Yoshi have also reached the shore in pursuit of the Halberd. The Peach/Zelda clone attempts to use the Dark Cannon that Bowser left behind to fire at them, but Link/Pit and Yoshi/Mario have also arrived, destroying the weapon in one slash. The two Fighters then fight the clone and destroy it. However, Mario/Link has noticed the fight from a distance, and believes that Peach/Zelda has been attacked and defeated, so he attacks the pair in rage as his partner joins in. Once the two-on-two fight finishes, before the winners can revive the losers, King Dedede drives by and snatches the two defeated Smashers with the Cargo's arm. Link/Mario manage to see that Zelda/Peach's trophy is aboard the Cargo as Dedede drives away. Dedede then realizes that Kirby has snuck onboard the Cargo (due to spotting it earlier). Kirby uses [[Final Cutter]] to cut the arm and release the two trophies, and quickly revives them before they hit the ground. Irritated, Dedede turns the Cargo around and begins to flee, but the revived Pit/Link nails it in the nose with an arrow. The five Fighters join together and chase the damaged Cargo, assuming that, like the other antagonist Fighters, Dedede is collecting trophies to hide them away so they cannot be revived. Seeing the busted Cargo at the entrance of a set of caves, the group heads inside and fights through the Subspace Army and Koopa Troop to see a castle in the distance, with the Halberd hovering overhead.

Back in [[The Ruins|the ruins]], Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer continue to fight through the cavernous constructs - during which the Trainer captures a trophyized wild {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and battles the previously seen Charizard, capturing it too. The duo then wind up at a dead end.

[[File:Swords Subspace Emissary.png|225px|left|thumb|Meta Knight, Marth and Ike about to fight [[Galleom]].]]
Meta Knight, Marth, and Ike have progressed eastward across [[The Wilds (Part I)|the desert]] to the east of the battlefield. Having lost the Ancient Minister, they find Galleom in his tank form cruising across the desert, and decide to follow it. Upon catching up, the swordsmen defeat Galleom in battle, who leaps off a cliff and crashes into the ruins right next to Wario's trophy - and into [[The Ruined Hall|the room]] that Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer have entered. Galleom attacks for its second battle in a row, but is defeated again. Instead of simply falling apart, Galleom grabs hold of its opponents and propels itself skywards, activating a 15-second countdown on a Subspace Bomb embedded in his head. Seeing the Trainer has fainted, Lucas gains a sudden confidence boost and uses PK Thunder to break off Galleom's arm, freeing the two, but sending them falling towards the ground. Lucas holds the Trainer as they fall to their doom, but the two are then quickly caught by Meta Knight, who carries them away to Marth and Ike's location while Galleom's Subspace Bomb detonates in midair, barely reaching the ground and sucking up Wario's trophy. Upon landing, the Trainer regains consciousness, and shakes Lucas' hand.

The Ancient Minister watches Galleom's Subspace Bomb from back in [[The Wilds (Part II)|the desert]] and exhibits an increasing degree of sorrow over how two R.O.B.s must be sacrificed for each bomb. He is roused by one of Pit's arrows, which he dodges as the group resumes their chase. After a short while the Ancient Minister deploys the bomb he was carrying, which the Fighters fail to stop, and so they escape as several nearby R.O.B.s are destroyed.

[[File:FalseDiddy.png|225px|thumb|Fox, Falco and Diddy about to fight the false Diddy.]]
Diddy Kong and Fox continue to travel east through the jungle and reach [[The Swamp|a more swamp-like area]]. As they move on, Bowser successfully nails Diddy with a Dark Cannon shot from a distance, and sends in a troop of Shadow Bugs to clone him. Fox is about to face a two-on-one when Falco shows up, punts the Dark Cannon out of Bowser's hands, and destroys it with two [[Blaster]]s. Bowser is displeased and leaves in his Clown Car, but first commands many more Shadow Bugs to merge with the existing Diddy clone, rendering it significantly larger and stronger. Fox revives the real Diddy, who is shocked by the humongous clone. Together with Falco, they defeat the imposter. Diddy then physically convinces Falco to join them in their goal of saving DK, and the trio continue through the swamp. Upon reaching a cliffside waterfall, they spot the [[Smash Skiff]], which takes off towards the Isle of Ancients with DK's trophy on board. Diddy grunts in anger thinking the chase cannot continue, but Falco has a plan and summons the [[Great Fox]].
