With the Army formed, Tabuu turns towards the [[Isle of the Ancients]], a floating island of advanced technology. The isle is inhabited by a society of peaceful [[R.O.B. Squad|R.O.B.s]] led by a single [[R.O.B. (SSBB)|Master Robot]] that have never before interacted with other races. Tabuu needs the island's technology to produce weapons capable of cutting the world apart, so he uses his new army to take the entire island hostage, and force research on such weapons. The Master Robot reluctantly surrenders and allows this to occur, in order to avoid the presumably threatened genocide should they refuse, though he disguises himself as the [[Ancient Minister]] out of shame for allowing it to happen. Tabuu then captures {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, intending to use its electrical power as a power supply for the isle. | With the Army formed, Tabuu turns towards the [[Isle of the Ancients]], a floating island of advanced technology.

With the Isle of the Ancients under his command, Tabuu attacks the [[Halberd]], seeking a transport ship for his army. {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} attempts to stave off the attack on his ship, but he is preoccupied with {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, who decided to attack at a similar time. Meta Knight loses the battle and vanishes, but Dedede learns of Tabuu and his most devastating attack - the Off Waves, which can reduce many fighters to their trophy forms in a single long-range attack. Dedede realizes that Tabuu is capable of reducing all of the fighters to their trophy forms at once, rendering no one able to revive anyone, and leaving no one to stop Tabuu's plans. With this in mind, he begins work on [[Dedede Brooch]]es that can revive a trophy on a timer, without needing a helper's contact, which should make it possible to resist the Army even if everyone is defeated. | With the Isle of the Ancients under his command, Tabuu attacks the [[Halberd]], seeking a transport ship for his army. {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} attempts to stave off the attack on his ship, but he is also preoccupied with {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, who decided to attack at a similar time.

Finally, Tabuu sets out to recruit specific fighters to his cause, using Master Hand as a cover. He focuses his efforts on those who naturally dislike the others, giving him three accomplices willing to help "Master Hand's plan": {{SSBB|Bowser}}, {{SSBB|Wario}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}. Their objective is to locate and suppress any resistance to the detonation of [[Subspace Bomb]]s, the weapon developed by the Isle of Ancients to send pieces of the world into Subspace. To help, the three of them are provided with [[Dark Cannon]]s: a second newly created weapon, which allows the user to reduce any fighter to their trophy form in a single shot. The three accomplices split up to operate in their own ways. Ganondorf remains hidden in an undisclosed location, acting as a liaison with Master Hand, as well as his second-in-command for the army as a whole; while he claims to be loyal to Master Hand, he is simply waiting for the right time to overthrow him and take command of the army himself. Bowser assembles his [[Koopa Troop]] and begins to wander the world in search of opponents; he is relatively loyal to Master Hand, but does not care for Ganondorf asserting rank over him. Wario, on the other hand, sets off on his own and continues to do whatever he wants, treating his objective as a low priority and not caring at all about the plan or his role in it. However, Wario uses his Dark Cannon to turn others into trophies, but keeps them for himself. | Finally, Tabuu sets out to recruit specific fighters to his cause, using Master Hand as a cover.
