AN- So, I know I tried to start like, three series a while back, but I either lost interest or could no longer use a major plotline due to Lucas no longer being cut, so I decided to write something that was a bit on the light-hearted side. It'll be a bit more Humor/Romance/Slice-of-Life than my usual, depressing fare, but I'm sure I'll find a way to make it depressing. I always do. Also, I should just say off the bat that the set up for this is one part Fairy Tail and one part Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. So, I only own my own ideas, thanks, and enjoy! -Twilight Joltik
Prologue- A Basic Introduction to the History of the Smashing Monster Assailants Super Heartily Guild
In a realm of space and time, there was a land inhabited by no sentient life, save for a pair of hands. They watched over the realm and protected it, for it was said to possess a great secret. It seemed peaceful for a time, at least until monsters started to invade, led by some unknown force.
These monsters became too powerful and numerous for the Hands alone to ward off, so in desperation, they pulled great warriors from other realms and implored them to save the realm. Considering they had no ties to it, they were unwilling, so the Hands decided to give them some form of incentive to help. Dividing them into pairs, they stated that the team that managed to defeat the leader of the monsters and get them to leave would receive a reward beyond imagination.
However, this leader was nowhere to be found, and the monsters eventually seemed to be all but eliminated. The fighters were sent back to their homeworlds with a hearty thank you from the Hands and an assurance that if anything came up they would be summoned back.
Still, the monsters soon returned, and even more numerous and powerful than before. The Hands summoned even more heroes than before and they seemed to take care of the threat completely once and for all. Still, they returned once more, and by this point, it felt more like a job to all involved, to the point where the Hands started to rank the teams that had managed to get the most progress on eradicating the threat. Still, some of the heroes couldn't stay, and came and go as they pleased between that realm and their own. That threat was eventually disposed of as well, but once more, it was not for long.
This time, the threat is greater than it's ever been, and even more hero teams have been formed to deal with it. Shall this threat be dealt with? Will their efforts prove to be futile? Will the secret this realm is guarding be revealed? Will there be any more unnecessary exposition overloads? Possibly.
SMASH Guild Chapter One- Switch
Dark Pit hadn't really wanted to join the SMASH Guild, but had been left with no choice after Pit and Palutena had practically dragged him into the portal that had showed up for them. And for some reason, Master Hand has thought that it was only natural to assign Dark Pit to the same team, and therefore same room as his light counterpart. It was less than a week before said clone angel had grown completely sick of Pit's constant chattering and blatant disregard for personal space, and that was before they'd even gone on any missions. After Pit decided to have a pillow fight at eleven at night, when Dark Pit and no one else was trying to sleep, he decided he couldn't take another second of it and packed up his stuff and had begun to march down to Master Hand's office not five minutes afterwards.
Of course, when he'd gotten there, he found Megaman was already talking to the giant floating glove. Annoyed, he made an attempt to hear the strains of their conversation from behind the door.
"Please, Master Hand," begged the robot. "He wants to dissect me for parts, I swear, and Robin scares me too. I can't stay on a team with them, I'll end up short-circuiting!"
The hand gave a thoughtful "Hmm..." noise before somehow sighing. "While I do think these claims seem a bit irrational, I can't deny that your request seems reasonable. However, if I were to move you to a new room, the numbers would become unbalanced. If someone was willing to switch with you, I would be glad to comply. However-"
Dark Pit smirked as he stepped into the room. Perfect timing, it seemed. "Let me switch with him," he proposed. The er, expression on Megaman's face indicated he was profoundly grateful, and thought he was doing this out of kindness. He tried to quickly strike this notion down quickly. "I'm sick and tired of Pit and Toon Link never shutting up, and Link's not much better. Really, I can't stand them, and I don't care who I have to team up with to get away from them."
"Oh, well this is convenient. Megaman, I suppose you can switch with someone. I'll change your assignments, both of you. Megaman, would working with Pit, Link, and Toon Link be alright?"
The robot nodded eagerly. "Pit? Of course!"
"And Dark Pit, teaming up with Robin and Shulk is okay with you, right?"
Shulk. Dark Pit should of have realized that's who Megaman was talking about. From what Pit had told him, said person was "really nice and really smart and really awesome", which normally equated to "really insufferable" in his eyes. Still, he supposed even an insufferable partner was better than being around Pit all day every day. "Yeah," he answered. "As long as it's not Pit, it's fine."
"Excellent!", exclaimed Master Hand. "Now you must sign paperwork to make this change official!"
Of course there was paper. The angel and android both sighed heavily and grabbed pens from the little cup on the hand's desk.
AN- The other chapters probably won't be so short. This one's mostly just a test, and the others will be a bit more interesting. I've already got the teams set out, but I would still love to hear ideas of where you lovely people would like this to go. So, thanks for reading! -Twilight Joltik
