Someone New

Hey everyone! Omg it's been forever since I've written a fanfic (or attempted), im rele sorry! And please remind I need to get to my other stories that require new chapters DX. Here is my new phase, but it's not really a phase, it's more of a hobby now. I bought myself Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Christmas cuz I finally got a wii! Anyways so I really enjoy playing it and I am trying to beat my friend cuz she thinks I suck, and about a month ago I started reading Brawl fanfics and they're really cool. And so I came up with a totally original story plot ;D I hope u enjoy! MY FIRST EVER OC STORY!

"I already told you, 35 is enough! We don't need anymore!" yelled one of the Brawl Planners, pushing back his swivel chair and standing up to face the other 5 members of the group. Two of the other Planners were trying to confront him about the idea of bringing in one more character, specifically from a video game that hadn't already been included.

"But we've been getting complaints from our viewers because they know… that there are officially no more characters left to unlock," stated one of the Planners.

"But Wolf was only unlocked three weeks ago! What, has that already died down? What's wrong with these people?" spat the Head Planner, Mr. Warren. They had been discussing this for the last few days, with no decision made, not even a compromise. Mr. Warren rubbed his temples, obviously annoyed with the whole ordeal. "Look, we still have plenty of viewers who appreciate the game for what it is, and those who don't need to learn to accept the fact that rules are rules."

"Sir, there are no rules about the number of brawlers…" said one of the head's assistants, in a rather timid voice, afraid of being yelled at.

"Well we can set the limit! I think that 35 is enough, I already feel too crowded…" Mr. Warren groaned. The other members sigh and turned to go back to their desks, defeated for today. But one Planner stood standing. She was a young woman around 24, who had first interned there a while back and ended up getting the job. She was fairly quiet, so there were times where her opinion was overlooked.

"Sir, you've probably noticed that there are actually 37 Brawlers, not 35," she said proudly, "and you've probably also noticed that out of our 37, there are only 5 females, if you include Nana. Don't you think it would be more efficient and smarter to have another girl?"

Mr. Warren stared at his coworker with a dumbfounded expression. "Another girl? So what, you think that adding a girl would add more fans? You've probably noticed that about a third of our fans are girl who fawn over the male characters. Now ask me again: Should we add another girl?"

The young woman who was Ms. Kellers, was about to go sit down when another Planner, Mr. Ashter, stood back up again and joined her side. "I agree with her, Sir. If we all think about it through a teenager's eyes, another girl would mean possibilities for new pairings, right?"

Mr. Warren seemed to consider this for the first time. He was silent for a few seconds, before he said, "If we were to try this, what would happen if it didn't work and things stayed the same? It would be your fault as well as hers. You might get in trouble with our boss."

"Well, we might as well try," said Ms. Kellers gladly.

Mr. Warren sat back down again and straightened out some of his papers before turning back to his assistants. "Great, so you've got the idea, now you have to find a new source to get this character from. Find one of the video game worlds that we haven't used yet. You can do that. Oh and also look for a female character that has some charisma, some excitement about her. We want someone that people will find fascinating. And one more thing, I don't want another magical girly girl. We have enough of those."

"Yes Sir," they both said.

"Someone give me their map coordinates, hurry!" yelled the captain of Endless Voyage.

"Yes ma'am!" one of the crewmates replied. About half a mile away another ship was spotted, and it was getting closer. They didn't want to waste a chance of a possible ambush since that was their purpose to. She squinted at the ship to check for telltale signs of predator or prey, but no flag or name was visible from this point.

"Get closer! We want to be the ones rushing them, not the other way round!"

She took one of the nearest scopes and climbed the ropes to get a better view. After a minute or two, it was close enough to see what flag they had. A trade ship, she thought, excellent.

"Listen up men, we're going to be attacking! Get ready!" she commanded, and quickly repelled down the ropes to help set up the cannons. The wind and the sea began to pick up in speed, seemingly anticipating what was about to happen.

"This wind is too rough for such a day," she mumbled as she wriggled open the doors where the cannonballs were placed. "Quickly, load them up!" she once again commanded, as crewmates rushed in to get them. By now the other ship was about 500 yards away, too close for comfort without being ready to ambush.

The cannon closest to her left was ready and aimed, and was about to light the fuse. "Wait, hold on!" she yelled at the one who was manning it, putting her arm in front of his face. The ship was now silent, waiting for her command. The other ship was merely 200 yards away. It might be a bit too far away to target, but there's only one way to find out.

"Fire!"

All 8 cannons on the left side of the ship let out a loud simultaneous BANG as 8 cannonballs streamed toward their likely victim. Unfortunately, as it turned out, she was right in thinking it might be too far away, because only 2 cannonballs managed to hit the ship, and from the looks of it, hardly any damage was dealt.

Dammit, she thought. This was supposed to be a surprise attack.

Suddenly, the other ship fired two and only two cannonballs back at Endless Voyage, and pretty much the exact same "damage" was dealt.

"What the..? They couldn't have reacted that fast…" she said.

"Captain! It's another pirate ship!" shouted one of the crew.

"Oh craaap," she moaned, knowing exactly who it was.

With no more shots being fired, the supposed pirate ship approached them, close enough so she could see who was defiantly standing on the front bow. As the pirates got within several feet of each other, one called out to the other.

"Sierra," said the captain of the now confirmed pirate ship, smirking.

"Jacob," growled Sierra. She cussed under her breath. Why did it have to be him?

"So nice to see you again, and your crew," he said, still smirking. His dirty blonde hair fluttered in the wind. He was wearing his casual getup, a billowed white shirt with his sword holder strap going across his chest, where said sword was resting at his side, and fitting black tights with a pair of blood red boots. She scowled at him, since every time he appeared it reminded her how smug he could really be.

"I believe you owe me an apology for attacking my glorious ship," he exclaimed.

"As if! It was your fault in the first place, why did you have a trader flag raised!" Sierra replied angrily.

"Why, isn't it obvious? To be unsuspecting in the vast world of trading!" he said, self-satisfyingly.

"Besides, you fired at us too. You should be apologizing."

Jacob swiftly hopped from one bow to the other as he suddenly came very close to Sierra's face. "I only wanted to let you know it was me," he spoke softly, trying to be seductive (again). Sierra turned her face away from his, mostly in disgust but partially because she wanted to make sure she wasn't blushing in the slightest. So what if I liked him a few years ago, it's him now that I can't stand. I don't like him. She tried to reassure herself.

Jacob, mistaking her action as something of embarrassment, leaned in even closer, cooing in her ear, "you don't have to be embarrassed to show your affection in front of other people, Captain."

"Don't be ridiculous, you're so full of yourself!" She yelled at his face and whipped around to walk back down to the deck. Honestly, she couldn't believe what she had seen in hi-

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was an immense flash of white that blinded everyone, filling the upper deck of Endless Voyage with cries of confusion and surprise. Both Jacob and Sierra shielded their eyes from the sudden burst of light. It faded down after a few seconds, to reveal a tall man wearing a black suit, holding a clipboard. He took his first look around, and then it hit him that he was not on solid ground, therefore stumbling before grabbing hold of the mast. He looked up at everyone, and for a few seconds nothing happened. But it was the man who spoke first.

"Hello um, Ms. Sierra… I am Mr. Warren, the head of the Brawl Planners for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Maybe you've heard of it? I came to let you know that… we have deeply considered you for a new character in the game, or a brawler as we would call it… Do you get what I'm talking about?

Everyone turned their eyes back to Sierra, who stood dumbfounded. Super Smash Bros? I think….. I think I've heard of that before….yes, back when I was a kid, I used be fascinated hearing stories about people from different lands fighting each other… is this really the same thing?

"I've…heard of it before," she said cautiously.

"Good. So you understand how special of an opportunity you have to become part of this idea, this world… and that we've never added on extra players like this, but because of recent demand, we've decided to bring on another girl, and specifically someone interesting like you."

His mention at her being interesting struck her as funny as the tips of her mouth turned up a little. "Are you saying that you have chosen me to participate in the… Brawl, is it?"

"That is correct."

She paused a moment to think. "And what happens if I say yes?" she took a step closer to the man, which earned an alarmed look from Jacob.

"Then you would need to sign these papers in terms of your agreement, and I would give you a day to collect what you want to take with you and inform your family and friends of your departure. But in this case, it seems as though you will not be able to get to your home in a day. Is that right?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But to be honest everything I need with me I have here on this ship," she replied proudly.

It was then that Jacob stepped in. "Sierra, what do you think you're doing? Would you actually leave your crew here just like that? And what about me?" he cried out.

Instead of replying to him, she turned to her crew and bowed in apology. "I'm sorry but I am going to be leaving our ship now. Please take care of her, besides I think you can find a better captain anyways."

There were many shouts of "But you're an amazing Captain!" and "We need you to lead us" of the like, but she knew they could handle it on their own. "In the meantime, I want you to follow Captain Jacob until you get to port."

She turned back around to Jacob, who looked devastated, confused, and a little angry. "Goodbye, Jacob. Sorry for any inconvenience." She meant to sound sincere, but it turned out more like a good riddance. She then smiled and said "We'll see each other again, just not for a long time, ok?" It was true she didn't like him, but she still cared about him. Kinda. He stood back in disbelief, totally losing his wannabe attitude earlier on.

This seems like it could be a lot of fun, she thought, smiling. I can get a break from this world for a while, and I'll be able to meet the people I've heard about!

"Oh by the way", Mr. Warren stated, "You'll need an official outfit for the Brawls, particularly one that represents your world, as well as a fighting technique. Do you use weapons or body techniques, like martial arts?"

She grinned almost wickedly as she gripped the handle of her sword attached to her belt.

"Sword. I use my sword."

"Andd your outfit?"

Sierra reached over and grabbed her pirate hat from the side of the deck, pulling it down on her head with a grin.

"Ready."

"Alright then, let's go," he smiled.

There's the first chapter! My longest chapter yet (for me) please R&R! And if anyone is wondering what her outfit will look like, I already have it drawn out and completed, as well as her hairstyle and face. If I can, I will post a link to the picture from deviantart or something :)
