Smash-tastic!
One-Shot Part 1
*Click. Click.*
My homework was pilling up as usual. Procrastination is my worst enemy but my mind seems to enjoy it. It was around 4:30 in the morning and I'm finishing up my essay for my English class and its due within a few hours. Music was the only thing keeping me awake as I was listening to some videogame OSTs on Pandora and to the sounds of my fingers flying across my keyboard, taping each key as fast as possible. I was really tired and getting this done was my main priority right now.
As I was changing songs, an Ad popped up on my screen. It was one of those "CONGRATUALTIONS! YOU WON A FREE… (Insert prize name here)!" Ads. I was about to click on the "cancel" button because the "X" was unavailable but my roommate, Sean, opened the door, scaring me and pressing "Claim Prize" instead. I looked at him before I could notice what had just happened on-screen. He had just finished his shift at work.
…Yeah, this late at night.
"Hey…" He yawned. "What are you doing on the computer so late? It's going to be 5 before you know it."
"Just finishing up this stupid essay..." I drank some water from the bottle on my desk.
"How come you aren't drinking coffee?"
"If I have coffee at the time of night/morning, I'll be bouncing off the walls and won't crash for another hour or whatever." I had just finished typing the last of my work. "Yes!" Then I groaned at the fact that there was no paper in my printer and the papers usually across the room.
Before I moved a few inches, Sean went to grab the paper and put it in the printer for me. "Hurry up and print it. I know you're tired."
I nodded and proceeded with the printing. After it finished, I put it in my backpack and didn't bother zipping it back up.
Once that was done, I threw my lazy butt on the bed and wrapped myself in my blankets, drifting off into a deep sleep almost instantly.
About 7:30 A.M.
"…And we're all doing fine and we're falling fast behind. I don't think we'll be the same again as we're losing our minds."
My phone's ringtone was going off. I groaned as I picked it up.
"Hello…?" I was half asleep when I answered it.
"Hello. This is Soul Silver College. We are calling to inform you that there is no school today due to an electricity power outage in the school and area around it. Have a good day." The automated recorder person said.
"Cool story bro… needs more…." I was out again.
30 Minutes Later…
Ding. Dong.
"Go away…" I threw a pillow at the door. "I'm tired and want to sleep in a little longer before I have to go to school…"
The doorbell rang again.
"Grr…" I threw my blankets this time and marched to the door. "This better be good…"
I opened the door. "What do you-"I only saw 4 crates sitting there, all human-sized and formed like a Tetris-like block from how they were arranged. "Huh…? Is this some kinda prank or something?"
I started at them for a moment. "Well, I better do something about them before someone suspects something…" I dragged all of them inside with ease. Luckily for me, they all had handles attached to them.
Once all of them were inside the house, I checked all around them to see what it is, why they're here, and who sent them. After searching for a minute or two, I finally found something. "Aha!" I snatched the tag off one of the crates.
"Smashtastic…? Where have I heard the word 'Smash' before…? Besides in the dictionary and from The Hulk…" I looked at the back of the tag. It read:
"Samus Aran (サムス・アランSamusu Aran?) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Metroid science fiction action game series by Nintendo.
Introduced in the 1986 video game Metroid, Samus is an ex-Galactic Federation soldier turned bounty hunter, usually fitted with a powered armor suit with weapons that include beams and missiles. Throughout the series, she executes missions given to her by the Galactic Federation while hunting the antagonistic Space Pirates and their leader, Ridley, along with the energy-draining extraterrestrial parasites called Metroids. Samus has appeared in all Metroid video games and has also been featured in media outside of the series, including the comic book version of Captain N: The Game Master and the Super Smash Bros. series.
She is well known as one of the earliest female protagonists in video game history and remains a popular character over a quarter-century after her first appearance."
"Oh goody… "I looked at the tags on the other crates. One said 'Sonic the Hedgehog,' while another said 'Solid Snake' and the last one was 'Super Mario.' They all said similar things, but for their own background. "I've played enough Smash Bros. to know where this is going…"
Suddenly, one of the crates started rattling on its own and the first few seconds of "Encounter" from Metal Gear Solid began playing.
"Oh god… not now!" I stared at the crate.
The crate's lid was kicked open as it flew towards me. I fell back almost instantly as I saw a figure make his way over here. The figure grabbed my neck with one hand and had a silencer in another hand.
"Gah! What's your problem, man?"
"Who are you and how did I get here? You will give me answers…" The figure was Solid Snake.
"Let me go and I'll tell you all that I know…" I began panting from the sudden reaction.
He thought about it for a moment and let go and put his gun away. I got up and held my heart.
"Well you see…" I told him what had just happened within the last few minutes and pointed to the crates. "…You see those? You came out of one of them and I assume there are 2 other people and a Hedgehog in there… and that's all I know as of right now…"
"I don't any of this bull crap." He said in an upset voice.
"But I'm telling the truth!"
Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep.
Snake grabbed his transmitter.
"Snake. The boy's right. You did arrive in a crate along with a few others." A voice spoke out from the transmitter.
He growled. "Are you sure this boy is trust-worthy, Kernel?"
"I'm afraid we have no other option, Snake. Until we can find out what's really going on, you're going to have to stay with the boy."
"Fine. But I'm not babysitting him." He put the transmitter away.
"Hey! I know how to handle myself, thank-you-very-much!"
"Hmph. Whatever, kid."
…
9:00 A.M.
I stared at the clock. "…I need my sleep!"
"Heh, You don't know what sleep is until you're working in an environment that I live in."
"I'm a college student who lives on not even 2 hours of sleep and works on homework every day. I think I got the harder life."
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
We both heard footsteps. Coming from his room, Sean rubbed his eyes and walked to the portable refrigerator. "Dude… get some sleep."
"I wish I could but… things happened while you were asleep."
He drank some water. "Like what…?"
Out of nowhere, a huge blue beam just busted out of another crate and it came at Sean like if it were a Kamehameha Wave. The blast engulfed him and the entire area it was facing. He let out a battle cry.
HYPER COMBO K.O.!
…
Both mine and Snake's jaws fell to the ground as well as our arms.
"HOLY SHIP!" We both said in unison.
…
Today is going to be a long day… I can already foretell it.
Fudge my life…
…
Happy… late Halloween guys! This is totally not what I wanted to upload on this day… Originally, I was going to post up my Parody of Black Butler… but I haven't had the time to even work on any story stuff…
Well, well, well. I'm still alive and having difficulties in school with my trigonometry grades. I won't discuss them here since I might look back at this thing and be all depressed and stuff. Anyways, how are you guys? It's been quite a long time since I posted anything as usual and my birthday's coming up within 2 Mondays from now. (Nov. 12th to be exact.) I'm going to be 18 O.o;
Not much to say about my A/C, but I can tell you guys that this is only part one out of… idk how many parts yet. It might be 3 at most, because I wanna spread it out by times of days (Morning, Noon, Night.) so you can see what happens throughout that day. Not sure how I'm gonna do the Noon part yet, but I can imagine how I want to end this One-Shot.
I'll save the summary until the end of the One-Shot. There isn't much to talk about as of now. Plus, I need to finish my homework. I've had a long day and I don't wanna do anything else other than this and finishing up that.
…
Personal Note to Reviewer #25 (You know who you are.): Yay, you've won my 25th reviewer spot, even though you're like one of the only peps who looks at my stuff D=. As you might/might not have guessed, I made this story… be influenced by what you write about with your stories, as in the whole Units concepts. (even if you didn't make the whole thing up yourself.) I wanted to follow as much of the 'expectations' that we've discussed a few months ago as much as possible. I don't plan on adding any other characters than the ones I've mentioned in the story.
One last thing, I chose those characters based on how I saw it:
Samus - Because that's your favorite character to use in brawl lol
Snake - Because why not? Snake's awesome in general lol. And didn't you always get him when you choose 'Random' other than Ganondorf? xD
Sonic - He's my 2nd best character and he's one of your favorite characters, next to Knuckles. Yep, I still remember that. x)
Mario - I love Mario and I plan to have some interesting storyline stuff with him within the next few parts… You'll see what I mean when I make it happen.
And sorry for taking so long just for this one-shot thing to come out. It's not easy working on 4 different stories as well as homework and the usual routines I go through daily ^^; … Well, I hope you've enjoyed everything you've read so far and I'll finish the rest of the stuff as soon as I can. =O (Which will probably take me all the way until like, May of 2013? Lol =P It better not…)
I'll be seeing you guys around!
I do not own Super Smash Bros. nor the characters that belong from it.
Sonic the Hedgehog belongs to SEGA.
Solid Snake belongs to Konami
Mario and Samus both belong to Nintendo.
