Smash Bros. GX: The Next Generation (The GX makes it sounds cool)
Chapter 1: The Shadowy Conspiracy
The Smash Kingdom, The Overworld View
The Smash Kingdom was where the Nintendo world was located. Each realm was somehow connected to each other, but the realms were cut off from each other by a powerful mystic barrier single-handily made by Queen Paulina. The only time the barrier would break was when the Smash Games would be held, but now the barrier has once again been broken before its time.
Sensing this, Paulina called for her most trusty angel, Pit, to see what was going on. "Hmm…The queen said she could sense something amiss, but I'm not really sensing anything." As Pit walked farther along the Sacred Barrier's Hallway, he noticed a person wearing a long brown robe standing at the very end of the room. "Hey?! Who are you? How did you get in here?" Pit shouted, as he ran closer to the perpetrator.
When he finally made it, he could see a huge gaping hole inside the barrier. "The Queen…She was right…The Barrier has really been broken." Pit then turned toward the guy. "How could you commit such a horrendous crime?" he then pulled out and pointed his bowing arrow at the perpetrator. "In the name of Queen Paulina, I'm placing you under arrest. Give up quietly."
The perpetrator then turned around and gave Pit and sinister smirk. "Y-You…I know you." The perpetrator looked exactly like Zelda, but she was cloaked in some kinda darkish purple aura. "What's wrong with you?"
Zelda then started rushing toward Pit. "S-Stop." Pit then fired his light arrow, and struck Zelda right in the chest. Zelda fell on the ground holding her chest, grimacing in pain. "…I…" Pit then noticed that Zelda was beginning to turn into a Trophy. "What the?" The Zelda Trophy laid on the ground right in front of Pit. "A-A Trophy?" murmured Pit, staring at the Zelda Trophy. "It couldn't be…I need to speak with Queen Paulina about this." Pit then lifted the Trophy and walked toward Queen Paulina's palace.
The Sonic Universe, Station Square
Sonic was running through Station Square, doing his regularly scouting of the place. "Yeah, Dude! I've got a need for speed…for chilidogs…!" Sonic chuckled heartily, as he went through one of those huge loops on his game.
Sonic was running at neck breaking speed as he quickly approach another loop. "Dude, this next loop is gonna be so AWESOME." he said while hyping himself up. "I think I'll do a cool trick before having a chilidog break." Sonic then increased his speed and sped toward the loop.
Sonic was running so fast, that the only thing you could see was a blue streak. But what Sonic didn't know was, somebody was watching him through the shadows. "Eheheh…Here's my chance to finally rid myself of that annoying bastard." the shady guy snickered.
Sonic, in his blue streak form, then quickly ran up and made it all the way to the top of the loop. "Here it comes, dude, the most awesomeness trick ever!" Sonic then jumped down and performed a midair backward flipped. "COOL!!" But then suddenly, out of nowhere a yellow energy ball blasted the loop shattering in pieces. "DUDE?! W-What's going on here?!" stammered a staggered Sonic as he helplessly plummeted toward the ground.
Sonic crashed headfirst into the hard concrete. "Uhh…Ouch…Dude…Painful." muttered Sonic, rubbing his forehead. "Hmm…I wonder…What happen? Why did the loop collapsed like that?" Sonic said while staring intently at the ruin loop. "Hmm…Weird."
Suddenly the shadowy figure leapt out of hiding and lunged at Sonic from behind. "DIEEEEE!! SONNNIIICCCC!!" seethed the shadowy figure, while grabbing Sonic's head and then slamming it into the ground, he then started dragging his head through the hard concrete. "ERRR!! Make me an Assist Trophy will they." he snarled, as they approached a speed boost.
"UHHH…ERRR…!! A-An Assist Trophy?" Sonic grunted in pain while slowly turning his head. Sonic couldn't get a good look at him right away, but he did noticed that the villain was a hedgehog. "Wha-What…Who…Are…You?" he then had a pretty good vision of the guy, it was none other than Shadow. "Sh-Shadow…?!" Sonic uttered in sheer disbelief.
"Yeah! That's right, Sonic, you imposter! It's me, The Ultimate Life-Form, Shadow The Hedgehog!" Shadow angrily boasted, while slamming Sonic's head into the speed boost. "I hope you enjoy the ride, Sonic." Shadow stood there with his arms crossed, watching as Sonic went sliding off the speed boost, and then helplessly dragged about on the hard ground. He eventually crashed into a brick wall. "Now that's what I call a Sonic Boom." Shadow chuckled, while slowly approaching the broken wall.
When Shadow finally made it to the wall, he couldn't see a thing, the whole area was filled with smoke and debris. "Err…I can't see a damn thing, in this blasted smoke." sneered Shadow trying to fan away the smoke.
The smoke then cleared and Shadow finally could see again, he smirked sinisterly when he saw Sonic's condition. "Hm. So this is what 'he' meant." Shadow huffed, as he walked over to a Trophy of Sonic. "A Trophy. I guess I should get going now." he muttered pulling out a Chaos Emerald, while lifting up the Sonic Trophy. "Chaos…Control." he then teleported outta The Sonic Universe.
Smash Kingdom, Final Destination
Shadow reappeared in Final Destination and saw a R.O.B. standing in the middle of the arena. "Who are you? Where is the one which can guarantee me the Ultimate Power? Are you him?" he huffed while casually dropping the Sonic Trophy down in front of R.O.B.
The R.O.B. rolled over to the Sonic Trophy and lifted it up with its mechanical arms. "Follow me." The R.O.B. said in a robotic voice.
"Why?! I brought you the damn trophy! I demand that you bestow upon me the power I deserve!" Shadow angrily shouted. But the R.O.B. ignored him and rolled inside a portal. "What the? Err!!" he groaned while following behind the R.O.B.
Shadow and R.O.B. walked out of the portal and into an empty room with no walls or ceiling, the background looked otherworldly, the only thing the room had was a giant blue pedestal. "Where the hell are we? What kind of place is this?" Shadow said, while looking around the room.
The R.O.B. was still holding onto the Sonic Trophy as it rolled away from Shadow. "Hey?! Where the hell do you think you're going, robo man?!" But the R.O.B. just like last time, ignored him and kept rolling away. "I had just enough of your games!" Shadow seethed, while placing his hand in front of himself. "Chaos Sphere!" Shadow then blasted a yellow energy ball at the R.O.B., destroying the robot instantly. "You hunk of junk."
The Sonic Trophy fell on the ground with a loud clunking noise. "Humph. I'm not the one to be played with." Shadow huffed, while walking next to the Sonic Trophy. "Uhh…It feels like I've been wasting my time." he then walked over to the trophy and kicked it. "DAMMIT! It was all a LIE!!"
Suddenly the room was lit up in a bright golden light, lighting bolts flashed all around the room. "ARRR!! What, NOW!!" Shadow snarled annoyingly, while looking around the room.
Shadow then heard aloud irritated like voice "How dare you meddle in my affair, you interloper?!" the voice roared throughout the whole room.
"Who are you? Where are you?!" Shadow yelled back. Shadow then looked up and noticed an angel like creature with black colored wings slowly descend to the ground. "What the…"
The man landed in front of Shadow. "I am called, The Mastermind…" Mastermind boasted, while gracefully spreading his broad black wings. Mastermind was an angel like Pit was, but he was banish from Skyworld for instructing illegal operations among the Angels. "Why are you here?" he then turned and saw the Sonic Trophy lying on the ground. "That Trophy…it seems so familiar." he then said, while suddenly remembering something from the past. "I remember! I've heard about him, he's the one who foiled the one called Tabuu ambitions a few mouths ago. How sad...Such an annoying pest he was." he then turned back to Shadow. "Are you the one who turned him into this Trophy?"
Shadow huffed while folding his arms. "I'm not the one to usually brag, but yeah…I'm the one who did it."
Mastermind's wings disappeared while picking up the Sonic Trophy. "Well done. I've been wanting him for the longest, but I had no idea where to find him." he then looked at Shadow. "By the look of it. It seems that you both are from the same universe."
"Yes. I hate to admit it, but we are, indeed, from the same world." Shadow said, sneering at the Sonic Trophy.
Two R.O.B. appeared out of nowhere and carried the Sonic Trophy away. "Humph. Well. He'll go good with my already large collection. I've got a special place from him, too. Soon I'll have enough power to free myself from this damned prison."
Shadow then looked around the room. "Prison? This place here…Is a prison?" Shadow then looked at Mastermind. "You know what? I don't really care about what happened in your past. What I really desire from you is the Ultimate Power!"
Mastermind just stared at Shadow. "Ultimate Power? What are you…" he then quickly came up with an idea. "Listen. I would gladly give you what you mostly desire, but first I need you to do a couple of things for me."
"Why should I? Dammit, I didn't come all the way here just to run some errands for you." Shadow retorted. "I heard that you were interested in these so-called Smash Trophies, they say whoever can bring back a Smash Trophy shall be granted with the Ultimate Power."
Mastermind slowly walked over to Shadow. "I would, my…whatever the hell you are, but sadly I have no power right at the moment." he then turned his head and smirked slightly.
"WHAT?!" sneered Shadow. "Are you really expecting me to believe that?!"
"Yes." Mastermind muttered, calmly. "You see…I was sealed away by that wench, Queen Paulina, and now I need the power from Trophies to free myself, but as you can see I'm in no condition of doing this. So I only ask from you. Help."
"Err…What do you need?!" Shadow asked, reluctantly.
Mastermind just nodded. "I need you to go and collect more Smash Trophies for me, like I already told you, that's the only way I'll be able to give you the power that you require." he then opened his wings and a mantelpiece appeared out of nowhere, the mantelpiece landed on the ground.
"Since you brought me that Sonic Trophy, I assume that you're working for me now?" Mastermind said, while staring at Shadow. "There's others out there like you collecting Trophies all over this pathetic universe, but unlike you they haven't seen me in person. They're only collecting Trophies, because they also heard of the tale of my…" he then slyly coughed. "…Infinite power…"
"What is this thing? A Trophy?!" Shadow sneered, while approaching the strange mantel. Shadow then lifted his head and glared at Mastermind. "What the hell?! What is this thing suppose to do? It better not be another damn Assist Trophy. I loathe Assist Trophies."
"This is my greatest invention, it's the sole reason while I'm imprisoned in here…Wait…" Mastermind then and stared at Shadow. "You…Hate Assist Trophies?"
"Humph. So…" Shadow huffed.
"O…K…Well, anyways. No. It's nothing like an Assist Trophy." Mastermind said, while sighing. "This is called a Shade Mantel, you see when ever a person turns into a Trophy, you can use the Shade Mantel to take over the other Trophy, the only thing you'll have to do is place the Shade Mantel under the Trophy's original mantel. The Shade Mantel can even make copies, since your it's master my guess is, that it will probable take on your appearance."
Shadow then casually lifted up The Shade Mantel. "Hmm…Now that don't seem all that bad." he smirked while staring at the black mantel. "Where can I go to find more Smash Trophies?" Shadow said, turning to Mastermind, while folding his arms.
Mastermind opened his wings and started slowly flying back up in the air. "Oh…Don't you worry, I will personal take you where you need to go." he then disappeared from Shadow sight.
"What?! Where are you going?! How do I get outta here? Get back here, you bastard!" seethed Shadow, while frantically running around the room. Suddenly a portal appeared underneath Shadow. "WTF?!" Shadow uttered, while falling through the hole.
The Smash Kingdom, Grass Plainlands
The portal took Shadow to the Smash Kingdom. "Uhh…Where the hell am I?" muttered Shadow, while rubbing his head. "That damn, naked ass bastard! He could at least gave me the heads-up before sending me through that damn hole." he then sighed. "I guess should get started looking for victims."
Shadow then started walking through the odd looking field. The field was really beautiful, the clouds in the air had smiley faces and the trees seemed to rhythmically sway back and forth. "Where the hell am I??" shuddered Shadow.
