Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Knife's Bane
Well, this is my first story so far, and a horror one, as you can see. First of all, I own nothing in this story except for Slash, who will be introduced later on. Happy reading!
EDIT: Okay, I know I've posted this thing twice already, and deleted twice as well. But, I figure I'll post 2 chapters per day instead, instead of the whole thing.

In a news studio somewhere in Japan...

"Hello, and welcome to the News at 8. I'm your host, John Genericanaman. Joining me is Lady Lady. Firstly, we have a special guest to talk to us about his successful business. Then, stay tuned for the weather. Right now, please welcome... Master Hand!"
Cue applause as Master Hand enters the room and sits in a chair, however a giant floating hand can possibly do.
"Thank you, thank you, it's nice to be here John."
"Likewise Master Hand. So, how goes the Smash Bros. Business? With your newest hit, Brawl, it seems your ratings have gone through the roof!"
"Yes, it has. It is a big success for our larger group of characters. I think the Subspace Emissary also helped with its success."
"Indeed. Speaking of your characters, where are they now?"
"Oh, I sent them on a get-away-weekend out of Japan to America in an old mansion that belonged to some guy that was murdered. It caused a large controversy, but I convinced them that the murder doesn't mean they're in danger. The things people believe today is just crazy, huh?"
"... John? You okay there? You look worried."
"Just reading over my reports here, I have some news that might not please you, Master Hand."
"What?! Is someone dead?! Are they being held captive?! Did Crazy Hand count to 1?!"
"No. The killer that killed that man has lived in that mansion for years, and could still be guarding that mansion, probably willing to kill anyone who enters his mansion."
"Are you serious??"
"I'm afraid so."
"Oh no!! By now, they're already in America on their way to the mansion!! I have no way of contacting them, and I have to make sure Crazy Hand doesn't hurt himself!!"
Master Hand begins to shake with fear of what could become of the Smashers... and how much it would cost to replace them.
"So, breaking news: The cast of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is in danger of death by a maniac in America, and Master Hand has no way of contacting them. Will they survive, or die gruesome deaths? We shall find out in due time. Until then, we can only wish the oblivious Smashers good luck. And now here's Chuck Qwerty with the weather..."

Meanwhile, the Smashers are still traveling towards their mansion as night begins to fall...
"Man, how much longer till we reach that stupid mansion? My feet are killing me!" Marth complained, dragging his feet behind him as everyone else walked ahead of him.
"Stop your whining; I've been through far worse routes than this, and my feet hurting was the least of my worries," Snake retaliated, walking briskly along the dirt road. Marth sighed, and walked a little faster till he caught up with Ike, his closest friend.
"Hey Ike?" Marth suddenly asked his fellow blue-haired friend. "What Marth?" the mercenary asked, not the least bit interested.
"Don't you think it's weird Master Hand sent us all the way to America to take a mini-vacation? And in some creepy old mansion?" Marth inquired.
Ike sighed heavily, letting his head droop down as they walked. "I don't know Marth, as I've said five times already!" Ike snapped. Marth raised an eyebrow and decided to back away again. Marth tried to stay quiet the rest of the way, even if he was hungry, tired, and sleepy.
Meanwhile, Samus and Pit were trying to keep all the kids calm.
"Lucas, I've told you already. There are no ghosts that are gonna get you," Pit promised the shaking child, patting his back as Lucas clinged to the angel's leg. On his other side, Ness and Jigglypuff were starting to push each other.
"Hey, hey hey! Cut it out you two! Kirby, that's not for ea- sigh eating." Samus broke up the two fighting, but Kirby took that opportunity to eat up a whole tree.
"I got the little puffball," a stereotypical knight droned, running over and picking up the young Kirby. He forced Kirby to spit the tree back up, which was covered in slob. After shaking his head, Meta Knight decided to carry the young one the rest of the trip. Without Kirby to worry about, Samus could watch Toon Link and the Ice Climbers easier now.
Suddenly, Fox and Wolf could be heard starting another one of their shouting matches.
"At least i have a girlfriend!"
"You sent her off and almost didn't get her back!"
"Oh yeah? Well... at least I have both eyes!"
"That's because of your father, though, so it's genetically your fault too!"
"Screw you!"
"Screw you!!"
Falco just walked slightly behind the two, waiting for them to start trading blows. However, something intervened before that could happen.
"FALCON..."
Both Fox and Wolf turned around, and rolled out of the way, but Falco couldn't move fast enough to dodge the oncoming move.
"PUNCH!!"
The punch that created the firey image of a falcon connected with Falco's ribcage, and the falcon was launched from his spot flying backwards until he connected with a tree that bent back slightly, and shot him back at his spot, face flat.
"Whoops! Sorry Falco! I meant to hit Wolf or Fox," the captain apologized, extending his hand to help the falcon up. Falco took Captain Falcon's hand, and was helped back to his feet.
"It's okay, I'll live," Falco assured Captain Falcon. Falco then shot a glare at Fox and Wolf, who just stared at him before turning around and walking with the others.
Just a few feet away, Olimar was keeping his Pikmin hidden from King Dedede, who had finished off all his snacks. However, no one wanted the bird eating their snacks, and told him to get his own food, so Dedede decided to try eating the Pikmin. The space captain had kept each and every Pikmin safe, however, from the large bird. Robot ( R.O.B.) and Mr. G & W were watching this scene unfold, and commented on King Dedede's endless stomach, and Olimar's sense of protection to his Pikmin.
"Beep beep beep," the flat man continued.
"Yes, he seems to be set on eating those creatures, it seems," Robot replied in a monotonous, robotic voice.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, Luigi cried out. "Look! There it is!" He pointed off to a huge dark mansion that appeared to have been built nearly fifty years ago. As soon as the young plumber shouted this, Sonic, the blue hedgehog, raced past everyone to the front door, with Captain Falcon close behind. The other Smashers either ran over or walked up to the steps.
"Who has the key?" Bowser asked, looking around. Everyone shrugged, checking themselves for a key to the mansion.
"Nope, nothing. Nobody has the key," Sheik realized (In this story, Sheik and Zelda are two different characters). "Well, how are we supposed to get inside then?" Peach asked. Sonic, being the closest to the door, reached for the handle. But, before Sonic even touched it, the handle turned itself, and swung open to reveal the mansion's inside. Everyone just looked in amazement, and decided to just walk in.
