A/N: Hello everyone! It's me again, Lighwolf8- LW8 for short. I really have to stop with the new stories…

Rosie: HI! Wait. you are not the one writing this! Except for the beginning and end notes. And shouldn't I be starting the notes? It is my computer… And my story…

LW8: And?

Rosie: Whatever. Anyway, this is a fic we decided to make together! YAY! As it is a SSB fic we decided to take characters from Brawl and Melee. So, being that we worked on it together, we both get the credit (but mostly me!) Tell us what you think, please!

LW8: So you want them to R&R?

Rosie: …… No, I want them to jump off the nearest cliff singing the Gummy Bear song. YES I MEAN R&R!

LW8: Ohhh… while I block my ears from Rosie's scolding and type this I hope you enjoy! But not before I say the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: LW8 and Rosie do not own Nintendo's characters or anything like that because if they did, there would be a lot more swords, guns, and A LOT more LOZ characters.

Prologue

The smashers had returned to Smash Mansion for a new year full of fights, friendship, and almost any thing else you could think of. This year, Master Hand was in charge and, to the smashers' surprise, Crazy Hand was assisting him.

After an hour, all of the smashers were there. They all separated themselves into four groups: boy's group that included Marth, Link, Snake and others including Lucario and Mewtwo; the girl's group that included the two princesses, Samus, and Nana; the… creature group, that included the pokemon, Kongs, Yoshi, and Kirby, the bad guy group that included Ganon, King DeDeDe, Wario, and Bowser; and finally the unnamed group which R.O.B., Olimar, Mr. G&W, Lucas and Ness were. At the far end of the dining hall was a large table set with many foods and desserts that were almost gone thanks to Yoshi and Kirby. A banner hung on the wall saying 'Welcome Back!' as well.

"I can't wait until the first match," Samus said, her voice full of unusual enthusiasm. She pushed a small remaining piece of pie around her plate. "If I am facing Captain Falcon he is sooooo dead. I still haven't blasted him for what he said to me at the farewell feast last year.

Flashback

"Samus?" Zelda asked, putting down a bag. "Are you coming next year?"

"If I am invited, then yes," she replied.

"Good, cause I can't wait until you could show me ya moves," Captain Falcon said in the most perverted way possible as he came up from behind her.

Samus needed to be held back by Zelda and soon Peach to refrain from blasting him with her arm cannon. "Next year, you sooo better be ready, Falcon…"

"Ooo, what do you mean by that?"

"GAH!" Zelda and Peach's grips tightened on the space warrior who was begging to shout curses at Captain Pervert. "You. Are. Dead. Next. Year…" She ripped herself out of the two princess' grasps and sulked outside to her ship, ready to depart home.

End flashback

"You know," Nana began, "you don't have to wait. Why don't you go now?"

Zelda and Peach shot the young ice climber a look telling her to quit talking but not before she finished. Samus quickly stood up and ran to the boys table. The other three girls could hear the boys ask her what she was doing and Samus answered by shooting Captain Falcon across the room and into the wall. "Just look away…" Peach said slowly. Zelda nodded and took a sip of tea.

The boys watched Falcon fly into the wall and Samus strut away back to her table. "Remind me to never get on the bad side of her…," said Roy.

"Just ignore it. You'll get used to it," Snake explained to the newcomer.

"Wait, but don't you sometimes help him bother Samus?" asked Pit, an eyebrow raised.

"Yes, well- you see- umm…"

Marth rolled his eyes and smile at his fire-haired friend. "Enough of this. Roy what made you decide on coming back?"

"Well, I couldn't ignore all the letters you were sending me about how you needed more 'normal' people around. And for a while I didn't know why you were telling me, but then I decided that next year I would come and join everyone again! Besides, it is fun."

"Marth? What is he talking about? What do you mean by 'normal'?" Ike and Link asked.

"Well… Let me come straight out with this- you are all insane in some way."

"US?! INSANE?!" cried out Red (Pokemon trainer). "You're the one that wears a headband!"

At that, everyone sitting at the table burst out in laughter while Marth colored. Whether it was from embarrassment or anger, no one knew.

"Attention!" called a voice from the stage near the corner of the room. Everyone looked over and saw Master Hand floating in the air. "I would like to welcome everyone- even if they were here last year or the previous- back to Smash Mansion. This year, we will only have a few matches, quite unlike other years. This time we will be having a fight like no other. We will be having a war…" At this the smashes made stupid remarks and the room filled with commotion once more. "Attention!" Master Hand called again. "This war will be different than you would expect. I will divide everyone into two teams and you will not know them, along with more information, until tomorrow. Well, that is all I have to say for now except I hope you enjoyed the meal and the fights will begin shortly! Have a nice day!" he announced before walking- or should I say floating- off the stage.

Meanwhile, everyone was talking about the 'war'. Zelda, Peach, and Nana were worried but Samus showed no expression.

"Wow… a war! Who'd have came up with that!?" Lucario said. He was now standing and leaning against a wall but still near his table.

"I don't know but I am glad I decided to come this year," Roy exclaimed happily. "I can't wait to see the results. And-"

"Attention all smashers! The first match will begin in ten minutes. The first competitors are Roy and Samus," called a voice from a loudspeaker.

"Well, isn't that ironic?" Marth asked with grin.

"Shut up…" Roy growled, beginning to look a bit pale.

"I don't see what the problem is, Roy boy." Captain Falcon crossed his arms with a wince caused by the pain from Samus's attack.

"Just before, when you- Oh, never mind," Mewtwo said with a shake of his head.

Roy then stood and walked down a hall to where the contestants were to wait for the battle. He opened a door to a small room and saw Samus already there sitting on a bench. She looked over at him and nodded in greeting but said no words. A few minutes later they heard an announcement saying that they would be fighting in two minutes and that it was a five-life battle. "I suppose we better get ready," Samus said standing. "Good luck." She walked over to a pod, stood in the center, and closed the clear door while Roy did the same. Suddenly, they disappeared in a flash of light and appeared on Battlefield stage.

The crowd began cheering nosily and the two competitors looked around at them. The other smashers could be seen in a private section watching anxiously.

"3... 2... 1... GO!" cried the mysterious announcer guy with the deep voice.

Roy and Samus ran straight towards each other and began to fight. Samus dropped two round bombs on him before charging up her arm cannon. Roy acted fast and jumped above her, slashing downwards with his sword. Samus flinched and jumped away, spotting the smash ball. Roy spotted it too and they both battled for it. Samus unleashed her charged attack and hit it. She grinned through her power suit and blasted Roy off the stage. Slowly her power suit fell to pieces and she grabbed her whip and twirled it around, waiting for Roy to return to the stage.

Roy quickly recovered and hit Samus many times with his sword, causing her damage to be up at 100%. He charged up his flare blade attack and blasted the space warrior off the stage when she landed.

After a few close KO's, Samus and Roy stood not too close and not too far away from each other. Both of them were at one life left and their damage at 55% each. Samus attacked first but her move was quickly reflected and backfired, sending Samus, along with Roy, flying off the stage because of its power. They appeared back in the pods having lost all five of their lives. The officials were having trouble deciding who won. Some said it was Roy whereas some said it was Samus. Eventually, Master Hand broke up the controversy and said over the loudspeaker, "And it is a tie!"

Several gasps broke out in the crowd. A tie barely occurred and the last was maybe two years ago at the least. "A tie?" Zelda asked.

"Yup," answered Link. "It is strange though. And I wonder why Master Hand would choose those two to fight in the first battle."

"You are right, Link. It is an honor," replied Ike.

The others nodded. "Don't you think we should go see them now?" asked Marth who was already heading to the exit of the stadium. He led the way to the room where the contestants were and opened the door where he saw Roy and Samus shaking hands.

"For someone who hasn't been here in a year you did pretty well," Samus said. She turned and saw the other smashers and the door waiting. "Hello."

"You guys tied!" said Kirby, pushing his way to the front.

"We… tied?" asked Roy. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at his friends.

"Confusing, really, but you still tied," Ike said with a nod. Now, only Peach, Zelda, Ike, Link and Marth remained in the room. "I wonder what's for supper…" he trailed off randomly.

"If you don't stop eating you will be the fattest swordsman in existence," Marth murmured.

"It's not my fault I'm always so hungry!"

"Really?"

"Yea and I get my exercise so I won't get 'fat'. I have never even heard of such word. It has never happened to me so I do not know the meaning."

"Then are you up to being my sparring partner next time we have time to practice?"

"Oh, yes, my great tiara wearing Prince." Ike turned quickly and ran away, knowing perfectly well that Marth was going to murder him. The other began to laugh when shouts could be heard from outside the room. "You can't catch me!"

"Get over here and let my sword feel your flesh Ike!" Marth yelled back.

"Do you think we should help Ike?" Samus asked. She shook her head to herself and laughed.

"Naw, let 'em be," Roy answered. "But, I am a bit hungry as well…"

The smashers rolled their eyes and headed out of the room, just to be stopped by another announcement. "Attention! The next fight will be between Jigglypuff and Wario in ten minutes. If there are any questions regarding later fights, please come to my office," Master Hand said.

"Not us," Lucario said. "Let's see who will be fighting."

He led the way to Master Hand's office through many countless halls and opened the wooden door once finally there. Master Hand 'looked' up from his desk at the seven smashers and waved a finger in greeting. "Here to see the schedule for today?" he asked.

They all nodded and looked at a sheet of paper hung on the wall that Master Hand pointed to.

"Well, I am hope you are satisfied," Master Hand told them after they had finished reading.

The smashers nodded and walked out of the office as Master Hand made the announcement the Battle 2 of the day would be beginning shortly. They headed to the arena once more to watch. The sky was beginning to darken, promising a storm, but that didn't delay the fight. Jigglypuff and Wario suddenly appeared on the stage, now set as Smashville.
