Hello everyone, and welcome to my first fanfic. This is heavily based on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and its Adventure Mode, World of Light, however, there will be some changes so this doesn't seem like an exact copy of the main Story itself.

1. I'll be in the story as a fictional version of myself, that way, I can work with all the Smash Bros. characters.

2. Piranha Plant, Joker, The Dragon Quest Heroes (Irebun, Erdrick, Solo and Eight), Banjo & Kazooie, Terry Bogard, and any other DLC fighters when they're announced will also be included and I'll update the chapters once a new DLC fighter has been announced.

3. Kirby will end up getting captured alongside the rest of the fighters, however, he'll be the first one to be rescued so he'll still get time in the spotlight.

4. The fighters will turn into Trophies when they're defeated, just like in the Subspace Emissary.

5. The Koopalings, Alph, the Male Wii Fit Trainer, the Female Pokémon Trainer, and Pikachu Libre will appear alongside Inkling Boy, who appeared in the beginning World of Light cutscene.

6. There'll be a lot more character interactions between the fighters, the fact that some of them only spoke in the beginning cutscene was kinda disappointing.

Now, without further ado, let's get right into the story!

In another time, another place, a powerful new enemy wiped out all life in the Super Smash Bros. universe, out of all the fighters, only one managed to survive, and went out on a quest to save the World of Trophies and its' fallen fighters.

Alas, this is not that time and place, in this time and place, while everything played out the same, like when an powerful enemy appeared with a army of Master Hands, things went a little, well, differently.

"Don't let a single one get away!" Fox said as he pointed his blaster at the sky

Behind him were the rest of the Smashers, heroes and villains alike, they had all joined forces like they did during the Subspace incident 10 years back, their ranks had really expanded since then, and now, all of them were once again about to face a common enemy.

Said common enemy had an army of Master Hands, its appearance being that of a glowing orb with seraphim wings surrounding it. This was Galeem, the lord of Light.

"We'll each need to take down about ten." said Marth

"Actually, judging by the amount that there is, we may need to defeat thirty or so." said Snake

"WHAT?! We-a can't take on-a that many!?" screamed Luigi

"Stow your fear. It's now or never!" encouraged Zelda

"She's right, now is not the time to run away!" said Sonic

"We'll win this, I know we will!" said Pit

Saying that would be a huge mistake on Pit's part, cause as soon as he said that, all the Master Hands dissolved into blue light, which started to gather around Galeem, leaving most of the fighters confused.

Suddenly, Shulk had one of his visions, these visions usually told him some things about the future, but what he saw in this particular vision was horrifying, his vision was that all the fighters were vaporized by beams of light one by one.

Shocked, Shulk tried to warn everyone, but it was too late, as Galeem became a black hole, then exploded into multiple beams of light, which were headed straight for the fighters.

Link was the first to go, while he was able to deflect two of them with his sword and shield, a third one completely overwhelmed him, disintegrating him to dust.

Samus tried shooting at the beams with her Charge Shots but she ended up meeting the same fate as Link.

Shulk activated his speed Monado art and tried to run, but the beams were just too fast and caught him almost instantly.

Fox activated his Reflector, hoping the beams would bounce of it, but they didn't and Fox was vaporized along with Mario and Donkey Kong who were right behind him.

Zelda tried to reflect the beams with Nayru's Love, while Mewtwo used confusion, both moves failed to save them as the light vaporized them both.

Mega Man and Dark Samus were doing a much better job at shooting the light beams away with Toon Link doing a better job at deflecting them, but Dark Samus ended up getting struck from behind with Mega Man and Toon Link following soon after.

Marth, Roy and Ike tried slashing away at the beams, but each of them were taken out one by one.

Finally realizing they stood no chance, the fighters took the only chance they had left, they ran.

Irebun, Erdrick, Solo, Eight, Simon and Richter stayed behind and gave it everything they had, but it was no use, as they were all caught by the light.

Yoshi was carrying Luigi on his back, with Luigi covering his eyes, but both of them were caught after merely a few seconds.

Sonic was actually outrunning the light thanks to his speed, but he slowed down a bit to try and save Pikachu, his efforts were in vain however as he was caught mere moments after the Mouse Pokémon was.

Bayonetta was able transform into bats to escape one beam, but she was caught by another one as soon as she reformed.

Dr. Mario tried to use his Super Sheet to reflect the light, but considering it didn't work for Zelda, Fox and Mewtwo, he was vaporized instantly, along with Jigglypuff, who was sleeping, having just accepted her fate.

"Guys, Triple Finish!" shouted Red, who alongside Leaf, had tears in his eyes, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard unleashed their most powerful attacks, with Bowser unleashing his fire breath, this did not end well for either of them.

Upon witnessing their father get vaporized, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings panicked and tried flying away, but they were caught along with Peach and Daisy, who were on their parasols, covering their eyes.

Corrin shifted into his dragon form to try and protect Pichu, who was crying, scared to death, while Ness tried using Teleport Beta along with Lucas, all four were caught immediately.

Captain Falcon tried to enter the Blue Falcon to drive away, but the light caught him before his butt even touched the seat.

Wolf had been a bit faster getting into his Wolfen, but he fired at the beams instead of flying away, resulting in him getting vaporized as well.

Ganondorf and Cloud were using their swords to block the light beams, while Robin tried using his magic to counter them, all three of them were eventually overwhelmed and vaporized.

Young Link had just gotten his ocarina out to play the Song of Time when he was suddenly caught and vaporized along with Terry Bogard, Isabelle, Sheik and Mr. Game & Watch.

Lucario and Greninja were both skilfully dodging the light beams, but after Lucario used Double Team to escape one beam, one swooped in and caught him while Greninja used Hydro Pump to dodge it, only to get caught as well after being left helpless in the air.

Inkiling Boy and Inkling Girl both sprayed the ground with their ink and jumped into their puddles to avoid certain doom, unfortunately for them, this didn't work and both of them were vaporized anyway.

Incineroar had just enough time to throw Pikachu Libre to safety before he was caught. Hoping to avenge her friend, Pikachu Libre used Thunderbolt on the beams, while Ryu and Ken used Hadouken, all three of them ended up getting caught instantly.

Falco had already gotten into his Airwing and unlike Wolf, was actually flying away, but the light beams proved to be much too fast for the Airwing to handle, resulting in Falco getting caught.

The Mii Fighters unleashed their Final Smashes in order to stop some of the beams, this was useless as all three of them were caught immediately.

Pit and Dark Pit were flying away, while Palutena, hoping to buy them time, tried to use Reflect into order to block an incoming beam, she ended up getting vaporized anyways, and because of this, the Power of Flight keeping Pit and Dark Pit in the air wore off, sending them both plummeting, resulting in both of them both getting caught.

King K. Rool was flying away in his helicopter pack, along with Meta Knight and R.O.B., but K. Rool and R.O.B. ran out of fuel and were caught almost instantly while Meta Knight was able to last a bit longer before he was struck and vaporized as well along with Zero Suit Samus who was in her gunship.

Chrom quickly pushed Lucina out of the way, sacrificing himself to save his daughter, Lucina was so distraught that she didn't notice an incoming beam from behind her, resulting her getting vaporized alongside the Ice Climbers, Piranha Plant, King Dedede and Pac-Man.

Snake had hidden in his box, hoping he wouldn't be noticed, no such luck as a beam came in and vaporized the box, taking Snake along with it.

Wario was driving away on his bike with Banjo & Kazooie, Little Mac and Joker following pursuit, but all three of them accidently ran into a beam, getting vaporized instantly.

Diddy Kong was flying away on his jetpack along with Rosalina & Luna, but failed to escape.

Ridley, Olimar and Alph were able to last a bit longer but were eventually caught as well.

The Villager was running in circles, panicking, and the Duck Hunt Dog had covered his eyes while the Duck Hunt Duck, not wanting to leave its friend behind, tried in vain to carry him away, this didn't work and the Duck Hunt Duo were caught along with Villager and both Wii Fit Trainers, who were caught in a Tree Yoga pose.

Everyone was gone, well, not exactly, Kirby was on his Warp Star, dodging beams like there was no tomorrow, at this point he was the only fighter who hadn't been caught yet so if he was caught, the entire planet was doomed.

All the light beams were now focused on Kirby, the star warrior was pushing the Warp Star to its limits, trying to go as fast as possible, with the beams barely touching the star trials the Warp Star was leaving behind.

Kirby had nearly reached the speed required for Warp Speed when a beam of light flew right into his path, unfortunately, Kirby was flying much too fast for him to move out of the way in time, resulting in him accidently flying right into the light, his form crumbling to dust as he was vaporized.

In another time and place, Kirby had been the only one to escape the lord of Light's wrath. In this time and place however, he wasn't so lucky, in other words, Galeem had done it, he had vaporized every Smash Bros. fighter, there was now no one left to stop him.

The beams of light then started vaporizing innocent citizens, this included anyone who had been an Assist Trophy or a Pokémon that was summoned through a Poke Ball or Master Ball.

The beams of light eventually engulfed the whole world and then started to consume the other planets in the Solar System, eventually, the light covered the entire universe, wiping it out completely.

Galeem was free to remake the universe in its own twisted image, and it did just that, making a world that was just merely parts of the many worlds that were destroyed put together.

Meanwhile, everyone who didn't fight the light ended up losing their bodies, becoming spirits, but what happened to the fighters was much worst.

After all of them were vaporized, they rematerialized in a dark void, unfortunately, all of them had been reduced to their Trophy forms, rendering them unable to do anything or even fight back, Galeem then had them tied up, suspended, then poured a golden liquid onto them, making Puppet Fighters based on their appearance.

Galeem then forced the spirits to pull the springs on the Puppet Fighters, the spirits, eager to have bodies again, agreed to this without any thought, however, they couldn't control their new bodies, leaving the Puppet Fighters to roam the land, with their eyes glowing red.

Despite having captured every Smash fighter, Galeem had a feeling that someone would eventually come and save the land, so it also put all the fighters under its control, making them loyal to it, with this army of Puppet Fighters and mind controlled Fighters, all hope seemed lost…

However, a mysterious figure had seen all of the events unfold, and using its powerful magic, hoped to summon someone who could hopefully save the universe.

In another universe, specifically our own, someone had just walked into his house, holding what appeared to be a Nintendo Switch game case.

"Oh yeah, Smash Ultimate is here at long last!" said the person, who looked like someone in his late teens, was holding a copy of the recently released Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a game that been highly anticipated by Smash fans around the world.

"This is gonna be good, I can't wait to play as every Smash fighter in the history of the series!" He said, he had just put Switch Cartridge into his Nintendo Switch system, when his TV suddenly glowed with light.

"What in the-" The person said, confused. "I don't remember the TV being able to do that." He added, as reached for the television remote and tried to turn it off, but to no avail.

"Is this thing broken?!" He shouted, he didn't get an answer as a portal opened up and sucked him in. "First Keven Keene now me!" He screamed, while the show Captain N: The Game Master had aired long before his time, he had seen several clips of it online, specially the one where the main protagonist was sucked through his TV via the Ultimate Warp Zone. "Welp, I guess this is how I die." He shrugged, closing his eyes, waiting for the inevitable, but then another portal opened and he landed head first into the world that was now the World of Light.

"Ow, my head…" He said, getting up… "Wait… Where am I?" He wondered, then looked at his surroundings, the scenery around him was beautiful, but unnatural.

"Hey… is this..." He questioned.

"Yes, it is." Said a voice that sounded like it wasn't very far.

"Huh?" The person looked back, he saw nothing, "Seriously, first I get kidnapped, now I start hearing voices in my head." He said in frustration.

"Not exactly a voice in your head." the voice said again, the person turned around again and saw a female figure who looked human, but was glowing with pure light.

"Oh good." the person said. "For a minute there, I thought I was going crazy." He added. "Now talk!" He said in an angry tone. "Why am I here?!"

"You have been summoned to help save the entire Smash universe." The figure said.

"Wait, so this really is the World of Trophies?" The person asked.

"Actually, this is the World of Light." The figure corrected.

"World of Light? That name sounds oddly familiar…" he said, not long ago, he had watched the final Smash Ultimate Direct, which featured a preview of the game's Adventure Mode. "Ohhhh, I get it now." He realized.

"Good to hear." The figure said. "Now before I explain what happened here, I need to ask you your name." She added.

"It's Jacob." The person said. "But, who are you?"

"My name, is Purest Light, the guardian of this land." the figure answered.

"That sounds a bit generic." Jacob said. "Can I just call you Light Girl instead?"

"I suppose that's an acceptable nickname." Light Girl said. "I mean, that just sounds stupid but whatever."

"So… What happened here?" Jacob asked. "And what's going on with that Orb thingy?" He added, pointing at Galeem, who had cast a shield round him.

"That orb thingy, is Galeem, the Lord of Light, and he's the reason why this world ended up the way it was, why all the fighters were vaporized."

"Wait, what?! All of them?! What about Kirby, he was the only one who survived according to what I saw about a month ago!" Jacob said.

"Maybe so, but things can always turn out differently, while the star warrior was successfully able to escape in the game itself, he was not so lucky here." Light Girl said.

"Oh…" Jacob said, he had always believed in the Multiverse Theory, but he didn't think he'd end up in one where Kirby didn't survive Galeem's attack. "Is that why you summoned here? To be the hero that saves the land."

"Yes." Light Girl said. "I must apologize for how I summoned you here, as I kinda needed someone who'd be willing to actually help defeat Galeem." she added.

"Well then, you can count me in!" Jacob said, with a smile on his face.

"Great!" Light Girl said happily. "But I must warn you, Galeem's made puppet fighters of every Smash fighter and made the spirits pull the strings on them."

Jacob wondered, "Say, aren't spirits characters that lost their physical forms but also give power boosts to the person using or possessed by them?"

"Why yes." Light Girl said, "Nice observation. But the Puppet Fighters aren't the only minions of Galeem you'll have to worry about, as he's also taken control of the Master Hand and all of the fighters."

"Oh god…" Jacob said.

"That's what I said too." Light Girl said, "Luckily, we can still save the fighters, you'll come across them during your journey, if you battle and defeat them, they'll be returned to normal."

"Okay, I think I've got it." Jacob said. "Defeat the fighter to release it from Galeem's control and defeat the Puppet Fighter to release the spirit, sounds easy enough."

"I wouldn't say so." Light Girl insisted, "Some spirits and fighters might be harder than others."

"If you say so." Jacob shrugged. "Anyways, LET'S GO!" He shouted.

"WAIT!" Light Girl said. "Going straight into the battle without the proper equipment will just get yourself killed." She added, "So it's best that you wait while I do something."

"And what would that be?" Jacob wondered. Suddenly, Light Girl cast a beam of light and blasted at Jacob. "GAH!" Shouted Jacob, thinking he was about to be vaporized as he was engulfed by the light, but he wasn't, and when the light disappeared, he was wearing gold plated armour, which increased his strength, the armour itself had a cape that was gold and silver, a gun holder which contained a Ray Gun and a sword holder which contained a Beam Sword.

"What did you just do? And why do I feel stronger?" Jacob asked, looking at the armour.

"I fitted you up with armour to increase your strength, I also gave you a Beam Sword and a Ray Gun so you're not completely defenceless, in addition, I also put in a checklist that contains ever Smash Fighter, a Map so you know where you're going without getting lost and a tracking device so you can find the fighters more easily." Light Girl said.

"Aw sweet." Jacob said. "Thanks a lot, I think I'm more than ready for what's ahead now." He added.

"Alright." Light Girl said. "I must go now, but I'll be watching from another dimension." She added as she began to disappear, "Good luck." She then disappeared completely, gone back to her own realm of existence.

Jacob, then looked out into the World of Light, filled with determination. "Look out world, here I come!" He shouted as he began to run into the distance.

The journey to defeat Galeem and save the entire universe had begun.

Well, that was definitely something, I had a lot of fun writing this and I'll be happy to do more chapters in the future, if you feel there's something that needs improving, feel free to write a review below, all criticism is accepted and I'll try to see what I can do, anyways, see you in the next chapter!
