AN: Guess who's back back back... back again gain gain... Altre's back. As the title infers, he will not be the same. Well, kinda not the same. If you have not read Noble 6 has joined the Brawl, please do so before reading this. I'm not one to repeat myself cross stories except in authors notes. So... take this time to go read and review Noble 6 has jo- oh, you're back already. Ok. Spawnzilla014, I kinda borrowed a specific jackass from your list of OC's. You'll know him when you see him. As for the rest of you, his OC will not last long. You'll want to kill him too soon enough. So, on to the story before I start rambling on about nothing.

There was quite a lot of commotion of the next tournament in Smashopolis, but not the good kind. You see, Altre was supposed to be in the tournament's first round line up against the roster's villans- Ganondorf, Wario, and Bowser. Everyone was excited to see an outstanding first round, but Altre was no where to be found. He was gone. The tournament was canceled until further notice. No one enjoyed hearing the news, and none more than the group of friends he had made and spent time with. Zelda, Samus, Link, and Snake were going to find the AWOL Spartan, but they didn't know where to start.

"He said he'd be back! Where is he!?" Link yelled as he paced around in a circle.

"We will find him. Now sit down with me." Zelda said as she grabbed Link's arm on his next pass.

"Yeah, calm down." Snake groaned. "Your pacing is making me dizzy."

"Hey Link, if he won't come back, let's bring him back." Samus said as she got up off of Snake's lap.

"He might be closer than you think." Zelda spoke softly.

"Then we will find him." Link said quickly.

When the gang settled on a plan, the four of them went out across Smashopolis to find the Spartan. Samus and Zelda went to search in the mall while the guys hit the plaza. They had one mission, and they were not going to fail. They looked everywhere, asked everyone, and they found nothing. The guys were getting tired of the dead ends and lack of answers.

"Gah! Why couldn't he be from Nintendo? Could have just gone to his place." Link moaned as he threw up his arms in annoyance.

"Hey, what about me then?" Snake questioned.

"What? You don't go AWOL. Plus Samus has her claws in you." Link said.

"True. I'm getting hungry. Let's stop at Jade's quickly." Snake replied as he walked in the direction of the bar.

"Yeah, me too." Link said.

The girls were not having any better luck. They had gotten swamped in a holiday crowd that was searching for presents.

"Excuse me... pardon me... WATCH YOUR HANDS BUB!" Samus yelled as she felt a hand rub her butt.

"This was a terrible idea to come here." Zelda whined.

"How are we supposed to find that Spartan?" Samus moaned as the two made their way to the food court.

"Excuse me. I couldn't help but hear that you were looking for a... Spartan?" A man with stiff facial features said.

"Yeah, we are looking for Altre. Are you supposed to be the Happy Mask Salesman?" Zelda responded as she looked at the man.

"Why yes I am." The man said, "But it seems like your friend has met with a terrible fate."

"What are you talking about weirdo?" Samus glared at him.

"He doesn't look like his former self." The man spoke.

"Wait! You saw him? Where?" Both girls jumped up and asked.

"I believe I saw him in the ammo shop." He said.

Both the girls slapped their foreheads in hindside that they should have looked there in the first place.

"Thank you sir. Hopefully he is still there." Zelda said as she grabbed Samus and ran.

When the girls got to the ammo shop, they were surprised to see the amount of weaponry and armor assortments. They were pleased to see that they finally found their missing Spartan.

"ALTRE!" The girls squealed as they charged him.

But this was not the Spartan they were looking for. It was too late to realize as both of them were tightly hugging the man they thought they knew.

"Hey! Who the fuck are you and what the hell are you doing?" The man yelled.

"Oh my goddesses. We are so sorry. We thought you were our friend that went missing." Zelda apologized.

"Well I'm not your friend, you stupid bitch. Fuck off why don't you." The Spartan said.

"Excuse me? She just tried to say sorry and you call her a bitch? What kind of heartless person are you?" Samus yelled.

"The dead don't have hearts. Now fuck off and let me get what I came here for." The Spartan said as he removed his helmet to reveal a flaming skull.

"Who are you?" Zelda feared.

"The name's Skulker. Now leave me alone before I punch you in that little pixie face of yours." Skulker demanded.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You don't have to be a bully." Samus screamed.

"And you don't have to be a whore. Walking around with those giant sand bags like a slut." He said as he grabbed one of Samus' breasts.

"Fuck off weirdo. Get your hand off of her." Zelda said as she tried to bite his hand.

"Armor bitch. Don't feel a thing." Skulker laughed as he back-handed Zelda.

"Hey, stop that! Stop it now!" Samus demanded as she saw Zelda crying.

"You weak little tramps. I'll leave the pixie to her whore. Stupid lesbos." Skulker said the last part under his breath as he put his helmet back on and left.

The guys were better off in there mission to find Altre. As they left the bar, they noticed a man in Spartan armor. It must have been him.

"Hey Spartan! Altre!" Snake yelled as he started to run towards him.

'Fucking hell. What now?'

"Altre, we have been looking all over for... you..." Link stopped as he noticed that the Spartan was not Altre.

"Who are you?" Snake asked.

"That is for me to know and for you to fuck off." The man said.

"Well sheesh. We only want to know where our friend is." Snake growled.

"Well the name rings a bell, but I'm not going to say anything to a jar head and his gay lover in green." The man said.

"Ok. That's it. You are going down." Snake yelled as he pointed his RPG at him and fired. The shot was deflected from the armor lock.

"You piece of shit. Can't do anything right. Ha. Pathetic." The man said as he punched Snake in the gut and walked off.

"What the hell man?" Link yelled. The man did not reply as he walked away.

After everyone got back to the mansion, they exchanged information and stories of this mysterious Spartan. They were angry at this man. He had such a foul mouth and no respect for anyone.

"His name was Skulker." Samus explained as she rubbed Zelda's cheek.

"He said he knew Altre from somewhere." Snake said as he held his abdomen.

"He called me a pixie and then slapped me." Zelda teared up.

"I want to kill him." Link said as he cleaned his blade.

Then, out of nowhere, the doors to the mansion flew open. When their visions became clear, they saw a Spartan's silhouette. They were ready to kill the bastard that insulted and attacked them. But they were shocked to see who really was at the door...

AN: I told you you wanted to kill him. Spawn, there will be a blaze of glory at his death. However, who is at the door though? I know (ha ha), but you guys will have to keep reading to find out. Thanks again to RomanLeader01 for the ideas and inspiration to keep this story going. Oh yeah, I never did mension Skulker's armor. It is exactly like Emile's from Reach, but he has a flaming Haunted helmet instead.
