Lmao the ten pillars are the macguffins of the rp

Spoiler: The Great Deku Tree's Last Words: The Ten Pillars

Despite the visor of the helmet being down, Samus might still be able to feel Putt's glare as she released her charged shot. The shot immediately disintegrated the rotten vines holding Putt, and the force shot him back a few feet before he landed in a black smoking heap on the ground. That seemed to be that, but then Putt stirred. He raised a charred skeletal hand, the wretched creature's strangled gasps audible despite the helmet.

Putt is still alive!

He raised his head, defiant despite his horrific condition. Then, the visor of the helmet flew up and thick black smoke billowed forth. Before the smoke could clear and reveal Putt's true face, he went still and dissolved into pure darkness that was carried off with the wind.

Pikachu had looked away before Samus fired her shot, unable to watch the violent demise of one that so closely resembled an ally. She shut her eyes until the Underworld angel's gasps were finally silenced for good. She opened her eyes to see Samus use her grapple beam on the stake buried within the Great Deku Tree and pulled. The stake budged, then began to come out inch by painful inch. It struck Pikachu just how long that stake was and how much of it was stabbed into the Forest Guardian. She wanted to help but an electric attack on the stake might travel through the grapple beam and give Samus a shock as well. Pikachu glanced around and saw Putt's bow; the false angel had dropped it when Trevenant captured him. The bow gave off an aura of light that repelled the miasma. Having an idea, Pikachu grabbed the bow, jumped forward, and threw it at the stake.

The bow struck the stake, and the offending object began to crack and dissolve. One good pull from Samus yanked the stake out of the Great Deku Tree completely. It struck the ground and broke into pieces. Like Putt, the pieces dissolved into darkness and disappeared. Sap gushed from the now-open wound like a golden stream. Pikachu and Trevenant cried out in dismay. What can they do now? How can they heal the Great Deku Tree?

Before panic could settle in, the Great Deku Tree spoke. His voice, once deep and strong was now soft and weak.

"Thank you, for freeing me of that spike and the demons that lived within me. It lightens my heart to know the heroes of this world have returned to save it. I'm certain you are shocked as to what has become of this land.

A year ago, after the tournament, a sorcerer in a mask of silver and gold took the Hands' power as his own. I know not how he did it, but he now rules the realm as Lord Lunaris, Master of Creation and Destruction. It was he who drove that spike into me. He, and a priestess who wields the dark powers of a dead god, came to me demanding answers. When I refused to aid them, he sought to punish me and send a warning to the rest of the realm. The priestess summoned the demons to guard against meddlers.

Lunaris's dominion over the Hands is not absolute; when Master Hand and Crazy Hand created this realm, they released portions of their power and hid them across the land as a safeguard. Even when the Hands were under the control of Tabuu, or Galeem or Dharkon, you and the other Super Smash Brothers have not fought them at their full strength. These powers are called the Pillars of Creation and the Pillars of Destruction. Lunaris and his followers seek these Pillars for if he possesses them, he will have full mastery over Master Hand and Crazy Hand's powers.

Master Hand bestowed the Pillars of Creation onto five guardians. I am one of them, the Pillar of Creation: Life. I know not who the other four keepers are, but these clues were passed onto me should the Hands' champions ever need to seek them out.

The Pillar of Creation: Strength is held by the guardian of the lake and sky.

The Pillar of Creation: Fortitude is guarded by a great silver beast.

The Pillar of Creation: Hope grows within a tree of happiness.

The Pillar of Creation: Imagination is in the paws of a traveling musician.

There are five Pillars of Destruction, same as the Pillars of Creation: Fear, Sorrow, Anger, Ego, and Death. I cannot say how or where Crazy Hand has chosen to hide them, however, if the forces of evil are searching for them I believe one may be able to feel the Pillars' effect on the land around them. Know this, while the Pillars of Destruction are not evil in themselves, one must be strong of heart and mind to possess and use them, otherwise you may lose yourselves to madness!"

The tree was silent for a long moment. When he finally spoke again, his voice was exhausted and fading. "I am... not long for this world. Though you have removed the affliction that has plagued me... my body is ravaged and corrupted beyond repair, even with the Pillar of Life. It has... taken everything within me to keep it safe; now I shall bestow it... upon you."

A small light appeared before the two women and the Pikachu. A symmetrical crystal shard, small enough to fit in a person's hand, appeared from the light and hovered before them. Pikachu looked up at the crystal, then to the Great Deku Tree, her dark brown eyes full of sadness.

"I have... one last request: when I have passed... burn my remains to ashes... that the corruption be purged and the soil nourished... so new life may grow. Fortune... be with you... heroes."

Thus did the Great Deku Tree, Guardian of the Forest, die.

Should the Pillar of Creation: Life be taken and the Great Deku Tree's final request fulfilled, the miasma will begin to fade away. The sun shone through the forest canopy and banished the toxic darkness. The Pillar began to glow a teal light; small flowers bloomed at the feet of the Pillar's bearer. Pikachu and Peach will suddenly find themselves corporeal again, and any wounds inflicted upon the three heroes will be healed. Among the ashes of the Great Deku Tree grew a tiny sprout, a symbol of hope and renewal after all the suffering and death that had befallen the forest.

Here you are, in case you missed it or need a refresher!


Also, I just realized... I have a lot of ghosts and other undead creatures in this game so far!

Okay so ideas for Byleth starting point:

The first one would pair him into Daisy and Pittoo (yes I said it wouldn't work before, but the idea has been modified since). Basically, given the plains close proximity to the Stadium I thought it could work with the initial plan I had of having Byleth technically start there and be asleep while doing so. So Byleth would be found asleep at the Stadium, but likely by a few soldiers Lunaris posted there and upon finding him they would deem him a person of unimportance (given his change of appearance since his last visit to the realm) and thus they "dispose" of him which is how he would end up around the plains area (the whole him ending up there would need me to actually write out the scene but that can obviously wait lmao). He likely wakes up after being roughly handled and yeah things can go from there. He doesn't immediately need to jump in with what's happening with the pair there, but it would set them up to meet at some point

A second idea I had was of Byleth being in the temple in the swamp. It'd be ironic for him to just be sleeping there in its depths for that group to find (though idek if they're going in there). I'd likely set up a post that places him there and whenever the group reaches him, they reach him and I can continue from there. This could allow for the whole lack of a heartbeat thing to play out and cause some panic, as well as allow Annette to be united with him (though I personally think allowing that to happen later would be more interesting so this idea is probably my least favorite)

The other idea I had was that he happens to be in the forest on the floating island (since that is a relatively small group and I really am not too bothered having 2 characters in one place). He could be sleeping elsewhere in the forest and found by Primids which end up waking him up and causing his fight or die sense to kick in. Eventually it could lead him to running across the trio already there and joining forces with them moving forward (god knows they might need some brain cells with Sora in charge lmao)

The last thought I had was placing him in the Military Base and having him wake to the horrific scene that's going on there. Maybe the sounds of the fight between the Sephiroth clone and Doomslayer ended up waking him up and he's immediately put on alert. He doesn't immediately need to meet up with the pair there and could be exploring on his own for a short while before actually running into them (obviously not a well fleshed out idea but heyo it's there)


Now of course, these are just ideas and I have no desire to intrude on groups who would prefer him not to be there. It's why I figure I'd throw my thoughts out there before I do anything ^^

What if instead I offer cute fanart to motivate you?

 

[Kameron Esters-]

I FINALLY posted for Falcon. Idk why it took so long, I literally typed up his response days before in advance smh

As a suggestion, I'm planning to post for the Rabbids today. I don't have any exacts for where I plan to send them, other than having their numbers spread across the Smash Realm. If you'd want to have Byleth be found or be woken up by them, that sounds like it could be a fun thing too.

Lol I like this idea: the stoic Byleth surrounded by Rabbids!

Meanwhile, Toon Link is like, "If I had a nickel for every time I've had to go onto a ghost ship, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice!"

Or Jeff shudders,” Try to getting possessed by one..” Like they’re no threat but damn obnoxious in game and in battle.

I suppose that could work somehow, though I'm not really sure
