Title subject to change. Brawl University. An institution that was founded back by Master Hand in 1999, twelve fighters were allowed in. Now, these twelve have found themselves running clubs, some were captains of the sports teams, some were leading the dorms.
This year, 2008, Master Hand had decided to open the doors to more than just Nintendo characters. He decided to open it up to other characters, but only if they passed a certain test. There were over one million entrants, but only twenty were allowed in. These combatants will be announced later on in the story.
However, not all is right with this world. The eternal war of Good and Evil is most present in this world. In the darkest reaches of the shadow world known as the Underworld, Hades plans out how to get revenge.
"Come on boss, send me! I can take them all! Those dress chasing idiots can't handle the concurring. They have their heads in the clouds," A shadowy figure said.
Hades, in traditional attire, sat on his throne and snarled, flames dancing around him. This new leader of his army was cocky. Too cocky. Hades had intended on sending him to take care of the world, but seeing his attitude he refused to do so. The attitude would take away everything he was planning, and he couldn't see a benefit from it.
"Not yet, you are still too young to understand the power that the heroes above have. Even I can't figure out where some of them get their power from," Hades half-lied.
The figured laughed and walked away, "Light beings are weak, I can take care of all of them by myself."
'No, you wouldn't. Not him, I'm sure of that,' Hades thought thinking about how his sister, Medusa, was defeated so easily.
For now, the story moves to the Skyworld and to the main character of this story, the Medusa Slayer, Pit. This was his first time to this world, but he knew that this was going to be more of a challenge than his trials in the Underworld.
But the thing was, he wasn't scared. In fact, he was looking for the challenge. For three weeks straight he was practicing with the best that Skyworld had to offer. Even later he was working on his flying endurance. Something that he knew he was going to need while at the University.
This wasn't unnoticed by the goddess of light, Palutenia. The will that he had was not to be mistaken for being cocky. Palutenia knew this. Two days before he left, she called him into the observation room.
"Pit, I want you know something. There are going to be those that are in the University that you got into by the sheer grace of another God. Do remember to be considerate of this fact," Palutenia ordered.
"Right," Pit nodded his head and got up from his kneeling position that he took every-time that Palutenia summoned him. As the captain left, he couldn't help but feel something strange grow inside of him.
It was pride. He knew exactly what was going on. However, Palutenia refused to tell him which God granted the other freshmen in, it was the code of the Gods. As the captain of the guard, he knew what was going on. The Gods liked playing games, and in the end of it all, it was always played with Mortals. If Palutenia was allowing him to go down, she wanted to make sure nothing went wrong.
'Awe come on,' Pit thought to himself while he put his hands behind his head laying in his quarters, 'Not only do I have to get good grades to stay there, but I have to make sure nothing goes wrong. Son of a demon pig.'
Meanwhile, thousands of miles and dimensions away,
Gannondorf was preparing his newest defense for when he finally teamed up with Bowser to kidnap both Princesses at once, Bowser was working on the technical units while Gannondorf carried the explosives.
Suddenly, something tricked Gannondorf's nose and he fought to not sneeze.
"Haa, Haa, Haa,"
Bowser's eyes shot open, "DON'T DO IT!"
But then Gannondorf sneezed, and the explosion that took place was enough to blow up not only the castle, but the grounds surrounding it and the bases that they had filled with gunpowder. After the explosion, Bowser and Gannondorf stood, classic Anime style being burned.
"F*** you Bowser," Gannnondorf said before the two passed out.
Back in Skyworld…
The young captain stood guard, waiting for his trip to begin. He held on to his bag and bow while waiting for the signal from the University. Many of the Centurions saw him shaking. All of them worried.
"Captain, are you scared?" One of them asked so boldly.
Pit turned to face them, his eyes not showing any fear at all. The Centurions were shocked.
"Yeah, a little bit. But it's natural because you fear the unknown. I'm more excited than afraid," Pit answered.
After those words of commanding presence, the University sent their signal and Pit fell down to earth for the second time in his life. As he fell, he saw all of the Centurions cheering, and even got a glimpse of the Goddess with a proud smile.
The last time that had happened was when he killed Medusa and entered a different world to become stronger. In that world, he ran into another God of Darkness. Hero, a knight from a distant land called Trodian, had spared with the young captain for fun in a coliseum. Then he turned over, finding himself gliding to the entrance of the dorms. He had to dodge a few trees as he landed on the ground by the doors to the dorms.
Tightening his grip on his bow, and shrugging his shoulders to lower his wings closer to his back, Pit walked through the doors.
And every eye was on him as he walked in. The winged warrior didn't like the looks that some of the people were giving him.
'You all need to relax, I'm not one to start a fight,' Pit thought to himself as he walked towards the desk.
The lady running the desk checked him in without problems, and as Pit turned to go to his room, he found himself being held back by some invisible force.
"What's wrong?" Pit asked carefully, keeping a formal tone while at the same time hiding annoyance.
"Sorry Pit-san, but you've got to let us check your weapon first. It's a rule for all newcomers," the receptionist responded.
"Oh, that's not a problem," Pit answered, but he was really worried because he felt completely defenseless.
However, the tension that he could have cut with his bow seemed to disappear as he handed the blade over. As soon as that happened, he found himself tenser than before and afraid as well.
'Is it because I'm open now? Do they not see me as a threat?' Pit started judging everything around him as he walked towards his room that he held the number in his hand.
He was on the third floor of the H floor. The young fighter jumped the stairs upwards, much to the surprise of the people that were heading down to the cafeteria but stood shocked as Pit flew up the stairs.
"What was that?" The shortest of the ones he past asked.
"A newbie. Just let it go," another answered, turning his attention back to what they were doing.
Pit landed at his floor and walked in. It surprised him to see that his room was closest to the stairs, but he didn't really care as he unlocked his door and walked in.
What did surprise him was that all of his stuff that he was going to send for was already there, a gift from Palutenia the note said. The fighter smirked as he dropped his bag down and looked at his potential roommate's side of the room.
There was a green bag, and something about it looked so familiar. The bag was old, but it was strong. Along with it was a red helmet with really strange sides that looked like dragon ears. Another thing was that there was a journal open. The young angel fought the urge to read it. Finally, a sword was leaning against the post of his bed, and this sword was no mistake a sword he saw before.
"You've got to be kidding me," Pit had to fight to contain the excitement in his voice.
"And why should I?" A voice said from the doorway.
Pit turned his head and instantly his face was brightened up.
"Hero! Man, how long has it been?" Pit asked bumping fists with Hero.
"Really long. You look like you're at a disadvantage," Hero said getting to the point.
The angel sighed, "Yeah, I am. They're checking my bow. Apparently my shield's okay. But it's bothering me to go without it."
Pit knew Hero was a trustworthy friend. He was chosen by a near God named Emperya. She was friends with Palutenia, and Pit learned a lot from this giant bird. But there were some things that were still unclear to him about Hero's past. His origins were still unknown to the young angel, but he did know that he was a strong leader. Something the two shared.
"They'll have it back to you in an hour at least. Count yourself lucky. I've got three weapons. It took a day and a half to get one back," the traveling knight answered.
"Oh, that's not so bad. How did you get in?" Pit asked.
"Luck. I passed the exam and managed to impress the higher-ups with my skills. King Trode told me to enter here because we need to raise some capital, and we had to show my skills," Hero said sitting down in one of the chairs.
"On the grace of the Goddess?" Pit asked jumping up to his own bed, lofted for more room.
"You know that joke sucks," A voice said from the door.
Pit turned to see a strange kid dressed in some strange clothing and had a hairstyle similar to Goku.
"Who are you?" Pit asked out of habit.
"Pit, Sora. A friend of mine from Square," Hero said to Pit, "Sora, Pit."
"So I'm going to guess that you've got in on luck as well?" Pit asked.
"Yeah," Sora answered, "Yourself?"
"Nintendo finally came to their senses and let me back from the shadows," the angelic warrior answered.
"Enough formalities. Pit, the Community advisory wants everyone that arrives to speak with him," Hero answered.
"Cool, who is it?" Pit asked hopping down from the bed.
"Captain Falcon, whoever that guy is," Sora answered putting his hands behind his head.
Pit went limp, "You've got to be fucking kidding me right?"
Sora and Hero did a double take, "Angels can swear!?" Sora asked.
"Is he really that strong?" Hero asked.
"One, yes we can. There isn't a rule against us doing it. Two, yes. Very strong. If you get hit by his Falcon Punch, you can consider yourself-"
"Lucky to be alive," Hero finished.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Pit asked back.
Hero sighed, "Yangus thought he could beat him with punches. But his entire arm was broken from the force of it."
The young angel nodded his head as the three got out of the room and walked down the hall. Pit looked around and saw a lot of things. A boy wearing a hat arguing with a small man in a spacesuit about how his small plant people were constantly attacking his plant dog was the first on his list of weird things, but that was just a start. The room next to that had a short girl with long red hair arguing with her roommate who was also short, however she was a pink hedgehog creature who was screaming back to get her point across. The next four doors were closed, but in the lounge there was a different story. There was five people sitting and watching as a kid wearing an orange jumpsuit and a guy with a straw hat fighting over something rather trivial.
"You remember Luffy and Lina right Pit?" Hero asked.
"Yeah... do they eat at the same time?" Pit asked.
"Yeah, we have to race there before they even realize it's time to eat," Hero sighed as each time that he and Sora had just barely managed to get food three days a week.
"HEY! HERO! SORA!" a small child with blond swirled hair came running up from behind them.
"What's up Lucas?" Sora asked.
"Roy's gone mad! He claims there's an angel guy here that going to replace him. Is that possible?" Lucas asked.
"You tell me," Pit asked.
Lucas almost screamed as Pit leaned against the wall, defiantly trying not to get any unnecessary attention, but the scream was enough that Lucas made that the floor drop what they were doing and walk out to see what was going on.
"Damn it," Pit muttered.
"YOU'RE AN ANGEL! AND YOU SWEAR! WHAT ARE YOU!?" Lucas shouted and slid back.
Everyone was out and looking down at where Lucas was shouting, however with Pit up against the wall, he actually had was able to hide a lot of what he looked like. Hero and Sora were making good blockers also, trying to kept everyone from rushing at the newcomer. Pit sat there against the wall with a strange smug look, not trying but it definitely worked for him.
"OOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh! An Angel! I've never seen one of those before!" Luffy said using his powers to stretch his head above the crowd.
"Little on the short side isn't he?" Someone muttered.
"Why's he's hanging out with the Squares?" Another asked.
This got Pit's attention as he turned to Hero, "Squares? You gonna let them call you that?"
"We are Square Enix characters, so yeah," Hero said as he focused on another kid trying to overpower the knight.
Pit didn't know that he was outside of the CA's room. So he wasn't very worried and showed it in his face when the door started to open. Everyone else went silent as the Captain walked out of the room.
"Alright everyone, what's the rule about shouting out in the hallways?!" Captain Falcon shouted both ways.
"Ummm….IT'S THE ANGEL BOY'S FAULT!" Lina accused and the two separate groups ran off as fast as they could.
"Angel boy? I swear that Inverse girls gone-" Falcon cut himself short as he saw Pit.
Pit had lost the confidence he had earlier. The legends of Captain Falcon were grand and many. They even made it to Skyworld. Countless times Pit had to answer a question he didn't want to. Could he beat Captain Falcon? Most of the time he said yes just to stop everyone from talking about it and continue with their discussions about demon activity.
But now, without his bow, Pit wasn't as sure. He wasn't completely sure of it to begin with. He was at a great disadvantage in regular fighting, the extra two limbs by the wings would slow him down as he tried to fight. Sora and Hero weren't moving either. Something was wrong. Pit chanced a glance at his friend and the kid with Goku's haircut.
Captain Falcon laughed, "Oh don't worry, I'm not going to fight you. I've just got a few things that I need to ask you in private that's all."
Pit raised an eyebrow, but it was a bit hard to keep up the tough and calm look when you don't have your weapon of choice. He turned to Hero who only nodded. Pit understood and walked into the room with Falcon.
Not thirty seconds later did Pit come out laughing about how much he was scared. Sora wrapped him around the head and started to give him a playful headlock.
"Hey, you're that fucking angel bastard right?" A young and pissed off voice said from down the hall.
Pit broke the headlock and looked at the kid. Red hair, traditional solider clothes, and something worse that he thought, the sword in his hand was a double-edged with jewels that were giving off a magical aura. The kids eyes were filled with pure hate and rage.
"I don't know about the fucking part, or the bastard part, but I am the only angel around I think. Nice to meet you, the name's Pit," Pit said extending his hand.
And then things went to Hell in a hand basket. The kid that spoke instantly attacked, seeing an opening, Pit barely managed to pull his hand back, feeling the breeze by the sword and evaluating the kid's skill with the blade by how close the blade got to his arms.
"What was that for?!" Pit asked in a stunned look as Hero and Sora got out of the way for Pit to fight (Hero had to throw Sora out of the way). Without his bow, Pit tended to dodge more. And he wasn't allowed to use a weapon from his friends when he turned to them for help.
"WHY THE HELL NOT!?" Pit shouted as the kid continued his assault and Pit dodged more and more.
"It's part of the rules that allow us to be here. Only Nintendo characters are allowed to fight outside the ring against Nintendo characters for the first three weeks," Hero said.
"Well fuck," Pit said, unarmed until his weapon was done being inspected.
Or so they thought as a sword came flying out of Falcon's room and hit the wall, landing in front of Pit. The young angel picked it up and turned to Falcon.
"What's this for?" Pit asked.
"To fight. I don't want the promising rookie to die without being armed," Falcon said in the doorway.
"Why do I even bother?" Pit asked himself as he entered a stance similar to Roy's.
Roy attacked again, but Pit blocked this time. The strength behind the strike was almost similar to Hero's, but it wasn't as focused. The young angel also surprised the young swordsman with a shift in his weight and punching him in the side of the stomach. Roy coughed a little, but only moved to absorb the blow. The young fighter jumped back and snarled at the angel. Pit spun the sword around the outside of his body, avoiding his wings. Turning it end over end, he pointed the tip at Roy.
"Look, I know you've got a temper, but you need to calm down. I'm not here to steal anything," Pit said.
That didn't last long. Roy started shaking in even more rage, "DON'T FUCK AROUND YOU FUCKING ANGEL!"
Roy brought his sword back into himself and started to gather energy. Pit didn't like where this was going. He charged, trying to divert the attention of the swordsman.
That was Pit's mistake for the fight. He jumped up and slammed his sword at Roy. Roy released his energy as he slashed. The two blades meet, and an explosion ensued. Pit was sent flying backwards, the sword falling out of his hands. The front of his tunic was scorched in some places as he hit the ground and flipped back onto his feet.
"Crap, I really wished that I had my bow right now," Pit said as Roy picked up the other sword.
A strange voice was heard from the other side of the hallway, "Pit-san, you're weapon checks out!"
"MY BOW!" Pit shouted and dashed forward, running Roy over and jumping off his head and landed in front of the girl holding his bow from before.
The girl turned red as he took it and hugged her out of complete joy. After releasing her, the angel turned and fired an arrow at the swordsman. Roy was charging and jumped, thinking that he dodged it. He was then hit promptly hit dead center of the chest. He didn't even have a chance to recover as Pit followed up with a duel areal slash attack. Roy found the sword he picked up out of his hand. Roy tried to block the next attack from Pit with his power slash. An arrow to the chest again caused Roy to falter, and Pit dashed forward and ended with his power smash. Roy found himself flying like a baseball hit line drive. The young angel was on a knee catching his breath as Roy hit the door and dropped to the floor. Captain Falcon walked over and picked up the sword as Pit stood up.
"Nicely done angel. You definitely proved why you're here," Falcon said patting Pit on the shoulder.
Sora stared. 'Incredible, after taking Roy's explosive attack head on, he managed to take him out with his own weapon. Did he know that? No, he had to have been relying on the sword from Falcon. But that was like-'
"It was like watching artwork in motion wasn't it?" Hero asked Sora.
Sora turned to Hero, 'How many times did he lose to the angel!?'
Pit started walking back, a lot better than he looked. Hero followed his lead, Sora walking in the wake. The angel putting his bow on his shoulder and turned to the other two swordsman.
"So, where can a guy get something to eat?" Pit asked the other two.
Hero and Sora got wicked grins on their faces, "RACE!" The two swordsman dashed past the angel.
The angel smirked and flew after them. . . literally in the sense of the word as he dove down the flight of stairs.
Meanwhile in the hallway, three female smashers that everyone knew to stay away from.
"Look, I'm telling you, you have to stop beating up every guy that runs into you," The farthest one said.
The middle one nodded, as Hero ran around them, and Sora jumped over them. Two of the girls started giggling.
"And I'm telling you that you have to shut up. Mr. Right isn't going to come around the next corner," the one on the left snarled back.
And that's when Pit slipped through the door, turned the corner sharply, and crashed right into the girl with only a second to shout, "Look out!"
Sora and Hero stopped after getting past the girls and watched. What they saw was a train-wreck. Pit crashed into the girl head on. The force of the impact sent the two tumbling over each other past them and Pit hit a vending machine first, the girl getting to return the head-butt by slamming into Pit's stomach head on, and knee reaching the balls. Pit fought the urge to scream in pain as Sora covered his hand with his mouth. Hero tried to remain calm, but it wasn't easy considering who it was Pit crashed into.
'Shit, he had to run into her! Samus Aran,' Hero thought looking at Pit.
"Um. . . sorry. I took the corner way too fast and I wasn't able to react fast enough," Pit apologized trying hard to look her in the eye.
The girl skipped slapping and went straight for a right hook to the face. The force sent Pit flying into the hallway away from her. Pit shook his head to clear it, only to find that the girl had her gun out.
"Oh. . . great," Pit said breaking his bow into duel short swords.
