Super Smash Brothers
The Dawn Emblem
Disclaimer: Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros. were copyrighted by Nintendo. I had absolutely nothing to do with their development.
Parings: I plan to do Link/Zelda, Mario/Peach, and Samus/Pit. There will be more pairings, but I will leave the rest a surprise for now.
Anyway, here's the first chapter. Note that there will be some spoilers from Super Smash Brothers Brawl and the Fire Emblem series. It takes place after Radiant Dawn and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Chapter I: Shadows of Darkness
Three months had passed since the downfall of the Subspace Emissary's forces at the hands of Link, Mario, Kirby, Pit, Samus, Pikachu, Ike, Marth, Meta Knight and the rest of their fellow smashers. The evil Tabuu was destroyed, and their world was restored.
The Subspace forces were in shambles and the smashers returned to the Smash Mansion, where they returned to their regular routines. Master Hand was still recovering, so Marth took charge of the mansion temporarily.
Though the Subspace Emissary had been foiled, the heroes were unaware of a new threat from dark forces.
In the void between dimensions, a dark shadow was beginning to loom. A malevolent sorcerer more powerful then Tabuu started to make his move. The mystery man was cloaked in darkness and sported a purple cape.
The sorcerer in question quietly began mustering an army of powerful dark beings, even summoning different villains.
One of the resurrected figures, Dark Link, spoke" What is your bidding?"
The dark sorcerer spoke" The Subspace Emissary has fallen, Tabuu was destroyed. Not that it matters, I shall conquer the worlds."
" So what IS your plan?" spoke another.
" Axem Pink, you would do well to watch your mouth" admonished a red clad figure.
The sorcerer smirked" Heh, fine bunch of minions I just summoned. Now we prepare to conquer the worlds, and I shall rule."
Meanwhile, at the Smash Mansion, some of the smashers were beginning to compete in friendly competition.
The Altean Prince Marth spoke with the Crimean hero Ike and several more heroes" Today's tournament will be set up as follows. Ike, Looks like you'll be competing with Link, Samus, Pit, Ness and Zelda in this day's tournament."
" Yeah" said Ike quietly.
Marth addressed the rest of the group" All right then, the simulation will be Hyrule Temple, you will each have one try. Last one standing in the arena wins."
Samus spoke up" Anything else we should know?"
" That is pretty much it, oh and all items are disabled to make it more interesting. Other then that, you will see" replied Marth.
" Then let's get ready for the tournament" said Pit.
Ike nodded" Let the best smasher win."
A couple hours later, the assigned smashers gathered at the arena which was currently simulating Hyrule Temple.
Ike turned towards the Hylian swordsman " You up for it, Link?"
" You kidding? I could probably win this tournament with my eyes closed" said Link.
" We'll see" smirked Zelda.
Just then, Master Hand, who still had not fully recovered from Tabbu's attack, announced" The rules for this match are as follows, Stock number:1, Blue Team: Link, Zelda, Pit, Green team: Samus, Ike, and Ness. The match will begin shortly, assigned smashers take your places."
The assigned team members took places on opposite sides of the stage, the characters with weapons equipped a special device that prevented them from accidentally killing anyone. Samus had temporarily loaded dummy ammunition into her weapon.
As soon as the two teams were ready, Master Hand announced" 3! 2! 1! Fight!"
Link and Ike crossed blades while Ness and Zelda threw spells at each other while occasionally using physical attacks.
The winged warrior Pit was a decent marksman, while the bounty hunter Samus was stronger and had her power suit on.
The match was a close one for both teams, but Ike and Samus used various techniques and tricks to defeat the other team.
As soon as it was over, Marth and Master Hand declared Green Team the winner. The group shook hands and headed into the lobby.
" That was a close match today, huh?" said Zelda.
Ike flushed" No doubt, though I think we overdid it a bit."
" Overdid it? I don't think so" scoffed Samus.
Link shrugged" Well, that was enjoyable. But how come we were the only contestants today?"
Pit replied" Most of the others were still a bit tired from that whole mess with 'Subspace'.
Marth entered the room" Congratulations on the match everyone. We're free to do what we want for the rest of the day."
Link nodded then turned to Zelda" Want to go for a walk outside the Smash Mansion, Zelda?"
" I'd love to, Link" said the Hylian princess.
Ike turned to leave" I am going to go train in the training room for a bit."
" Do you need a sparring partner Ike?" inquired Samus.
Ike nodded" I accept your offer. But just so that you know, I don't ever go easy on my opponents."
Samus shrugged" I'm used to your fighting style. Besides, I need to stay in top shape if I need to some bounty hunting."
The group filed from the room to recuperate for the day.
On Tellius, everything was at peace, as the people of Crimea, Daein, Begnion, Gallia, Goldoa, Hatari and the new Serenes Kingdom started to form bonds of trust and friendship.
Ike, the hero of both the Mad King's war and the war with Begnion had left the continent behind once he saw stability and peace returned. No one on Tellius had seen him since, a year and a half had passed since then.
Marth's wife Caeda watched over Altea on Akaneia, while on Magvel, King Ephraim of Ranias and his allies worked to restore peace to their countries. The denizens of all three continents had finally achieved peace, blissfully unaware of what is about to unfold.
In the country of Daein, Queen Micaiahandher husband Sothe worked to deepen relations between Daein and the other known countries of Tellius. Most of Daein's youth still were wary of the Laguz, but some overcame their fear and hatred.
Micaiah's sister Sanaki and the young queen of Crimea, Elincia, pitched in whatever resources to help Daein recover to it's former glory.
One night, Micaiah and Sothe had just about retired to their bedchambers for the evening when a glowing figure resembling a girl appeared.
Micaiah gasped" Yune? Is it you?"
The spiritual figure smiled" It has been a short time Micaiah, how fare you?"
" Quite well thanks, so what brings you here? Or rather, how were you able to appear before us now?" inquired the young silver haired queen.
Yune replied" Ashura was not truly destroyed, but I have grave news to tell you right now."
Sothe raised an eyebrow" What is it about?"
" Ah, it's her shadow again. Well, I have noticed strange things happening recently in other worlds, I am concerned with the stability of the different universes, and I fear that Tellius will once again be in danger" said Yune, somberly.
" How did I not forsee this?" said Micaiah, frowning.
Yune spoke again" Your foresight is unreliable at times, I can only hope that this proves false, and do you know the whereabouts of Ike? I must speak with him."
Micaiah hesitated, then said" He left for parts unknown, nobody on Tellius has ever seen him since after we defeated Ashura."
" I see, then I will send a prophetic dream to whichever place he may be at. Never have I done this before outside Tellius, as I am referring to another world" said Yune.
" Do you expect us to buy that? I'd think you're crazy if I wasn't talking to a Deity of Chaos" scoffed Sothe.
Micaiah sighed at her husband" Sothe, you're being rude."
" Sorry, I just don't understand what's going on" said Sothe.
" It's all right, I am not offended" said Yune.
Just then, a green haired soldier entered the room" Micaiah, we've got trouble!"
" What is is, Aran?" said Micaiah.
Aran replied" Scouts have just received word that a quake just now had devastated the center of the continent!"
Sothe was puzzled and alarmed" An earthquake? But we've never even felt one anywhere much on Tellius! What's the damage?"
" Outlying villages were severely damaged, few people were hurt and fortunately from the scout saw or heard, neither Begnion nor Crimea or Daein were directly affected" said Aran, grimly.
Micaiah sighed" I can't believe it. Aran, alert General Tauroneo and Sir Leonardo to mount a relief team and provide support to the affected countries, the rest of us will remain on standby. Sothe, can you persuade Edward and Nolan to come back? We may need them, and bring Pelleas!"
Sothe sighed" You know how stubborn he is, but I will try to contact Nolan and Edward. I will send a soldier to inform Pelleas."
" You can count on us, the Dawn Brigade will save the day again if necessary" said Aran.
Yune smiled" I know I can count on you all, now if you will excuse me."
The deity vanished while Micaiah and Sothe prepared for the upcoming mission.
" Micaiah, are you sure you'll be okay while I am out?" said Sothe.
" Stop worrying, we must get moving now" said Micaiah.
Later that night in the wee hours at the Smash Mansion, the princess of Hyrule Zelda, started having a strange dream. In it, a black shadowy figure was bent on conquering the heroes' worlds. Dark shadows loomed and threatened to consume all.
Ike and Link had similar shadowy nightmares, only more images, sounds and fighting intensified in them. Fellow smashers and heroes from other worlds fell left and right to the dark forces. In the end of that dream, Ike, Link and Zelda seemed to be the last ones standing as the mystery man prepared to destroy them.
Said trio woke with a start in their respective dormitories in the mansion. Peach of the mushroom kingdom was woken up by Zelda's sudden movement and said" Are you okay?"
Zelda gasped for a bit then said" I just had a terrible nightmare, or rather a prophecy. This may sound crazy, but that is how it is."
" No one in Smash Mansion doubts your prophetic gift Zel" said Peach.
Just then, Ike, Link and Marth entered the room. Link said" Zel, did something happen? Ike and I just had a weird yet somehow real dream."
Zelda sighed" I wish it was a mere nightmare, but it seems like someone was trying to tell us something, I heard a girl's spirit's voice while dreaming."
Ike was astonished" Yune!"
" You know her?" inquired Zelda.
" Yeah, she was a deity of Chaos, sister of the deity of order, Ashura" said Ike.
Zelda sighed" Now that you mention it, it did seem like someone was trying to warn us about some new threat to our worlds."
Link shrugged" Do you think you can still remember that dream? We need to get a little more sleep."
" I can't possibly sleep now, it's about 5am, just about dawn" said Zelda.
" Let's chill here then, we will try to make sense of it" said Ike.
Link spoke to Zelda" What else is there to tell about the dream? Does Ganondorf have anything to do with this?"
" I don't know, Link, but the aura I felt in the dream wasn't Ganon's."
" We'll just have to prepare for it and tell the others in the morning. I won't let whatever terror is coming befall us, I swear this on my father's grave and I fight for my friends" said Ike.
" Ha, well said Ike!" said a voice as the spiritual form of Yune appeared.
Zelda was surprised" You sent me that dream?"
" Of course, though I had hoped that everything would again be peaceful" said Yune.
" Why did you send us that dream?" spoke Link.
Yune replied" In all due time, I will explain everything in the morning, I cannot remain here for long without a vessel."
Link and Zelda both looked astonished as Yune disappeared.
Zelda sighed" Will we be okay?"
" You heard Ike, we won't go down easily, I too swear to protect everyone from darkness" said Link.
The three heroes went back to rest until morning.
How was it so far? I hope it's not too dark.
I realize that in Ike's ending at the end of Radiant Dawn implied that he was never seen again, but that wouldn't really be the case if he met up with heroes from other Nintendo games, at least I don't think so. Besides, that ending was very lame to some people, he could have been paired with Mia or Aimee, though there were no NPC pairings in Fire Emblem 9 and 10.
I may already have some ideas for more pairings, but I welcome any suggestions, ideas and reviews, just try to stick to constructive criticism. Not that I really mind flames and/or anonymous reviews.
Please feel free to review.
