Kamen Rider Smash: Episode 1 – Origin Impact
Data File #01: The Subspace Emissary Aftermath
"Many people around you would like to say that the Subspace Emissary ended in a relatively normal fashion. Sure there was the desperation when Tabuu turned everyone into trophies. But everyone was revived and came out relatively unharmed, standing triumphantly after we had all defeated Tabuu. At least that's what you all want to believe, we didn't have enough luck for it to turn out that way. Tabuu was defeated yes, but the realm of Subspace was too vast for us to traverse and find everybody."
"Only ten of us made it out of there alive, Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Bowser, Luigi, Ness, Kirby, Sonic the Hedgehog, King Dedede, Solid Snake, as well as me, Samus Aran. We all stood over the cross shaped sunset, all of us at a loss of words as the gateways to Subspace were closed, leaving all of our allies and friends trapped inside that hell for all eternity. At first there were no changes, but after traversing the land we met up with three people who had not participated in the Subspace Emissary, Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf. Alongside them it wasn't too long after that we found old friends from previous iterations of our world in Dr. Mario, Mewtwo and Roy, along with a few who were hiding during the whole entire event that had been present the whole time."
Data File #02: Rebuilding the World of Trophies
"Five years later, more warriors began to show up, some of them familiar but fairly different at the same time. What surprised us was a larger boom of civilians during it all, we would later call them Mii's but because of them our world prospered and they now make up most of the population. Although most of them can fight it feels unfitting to call them warriors. Personally I feel they don't have the same resolve the rest of us do when it comes to battle. When talking about population however, there were also a fair bit more Pokemon in the absence of those like Lucario and the Pokemon Trainer."
"Of course there were still the troublemakers; surprisingly Bowser didn't try much against Peach due to the aftermath of Subspace. In fact he had apparently given up his kidnapping schemes all together. But there were still a lot of small timers who thought they could get big through various schemes. They caused trouble but not too much as they realized that in order to survive order was needed first before the chaos they wanted."
"The land was soon developed and divided into five main sections. The Mushroom Kingdom ruled by Peach, Hyrule ruled by Zelda, Altea ruled by Roy, Kanto under the watch of Mewtwo, and Smash City run by King Dedede who acts as president for the city. Above them in the clouds of Sky World, Palutena keeps watch as she is now the deity that helps protect this world in place of the Hands. Of course in the stars is also Rosalina, who uses her comet observatory to watch over us from above, a very useful ally to have."
Data File #03: Origin Impact
"Four years later, nothing prepared us for what happened. Somehow a gateway from Subspace opened up in the sky without warning. We lost contact with Rosalina and Palutena almost immediately, Dark Pit having managed to escape and inform us that Tabuu had shown up again. Everyone feared the worst and we all readied our defenses. However Kirby, Luigi, Ness and I, we made the foolish mistake in trying to finish him off before he could make landfall. In a quick encounter we had found out what had happened to Rosalina and Palutena, he had turned them into trophies and drained the essence out of them, he did the same to us four. He used our power along with the other eight original inhabitants of this world, he transformed into a strange hideous creature known as Smash Origin."
"Smash Origin made landfall and began turning everyone into trophies draining their essence to absorb into itself, growing stronger and stronger. So we made another dangerous gambit or rather one brave Mii Fighter did, managing to break through a weak point and completely obliterate the creature as a result. Later we realized that Tabuu was ejected from Smash Origins body and forced back into Subspace while our essence returned for the most part. A small piece of our essence split off from the returning portion, forming small capsules that were scattered across the land. Not to mention the appearance of a human teenager near Ground Zero also occurred."
Data File #04: The Boy with No Memories
"At first we thought the kid was a bad omen, but that was before we saw that he had a capsule of Mario in his hand. Of course Peach was quick to defend the boy despite us not knowing anything about him. She took him in and cared for him, and it was soon found out that he didn't have any memories aside from his name and vague details of his life. We did eventually find out he was a capable fighter, and he wanted to help out wherever he could. We were wary; until we found out he had the ability to tap into Mario's power through the Smash Capsule when we were unable to. So it was then decided, we dubbed the capsules, Smash Capsules, and created an underground organization backed by King Dedede to find and protect these Capsules. Of course some didn't agree about our secrecy like Palutena but these Capsules needed to be found no matter the cost."
"As for the boy, after thinking on it he moved to Smash City and became an honorary member of sorts. We've run tests on him to figure out what's causing the memory loss. But all of our attempts have turned up fruitless so far, even so we pressed on. We did however find something of interest that might allow us to harness the power of the Smash Capsules. Not to mention Snake had managed to snag the Luigi Smash Capsule fairly quickly. We hope that if we put these capsules to good use, we'll have a better advantage against Tabuu whenever he decides to return. King Dedede finds us using the kid a bit questionable, especially since we don't know the origins of his synchronicity with the Smash Capsules. But as far as we can tell, he isn't a sleeper agent, and is acting of his own will, as far as I'm concerned he's on our side, and that's good enough for me. If he can give us the edge against Tabuu in the future, I'll put all my faith in him... even if he is lacking motivation at the moment."
It was a beautiful day in Smash City, all the Mii's were bustling about and various ads about different competitors in the Super Smash Bros. tournament were being played. Of course though there were plenty of talking about wondering where all the originals went though, and why they haven't returned yet. A lot wondered if it had to do with Origin Impact, though many denied that as being the case.
Still the talking about said subject was annoying to an older teenager; he was about seventeen, ready to go on eighteen any day now. He wore a black shirt with blue jeans, and black sneakers, over his shirt he wore a long white sleeved shirt like one would wear a jacket. He gave a sigh as he sat on one of the benches outside of a park, all this talk about Origin Impact was getting on his nerves, why couldn't people just forget about it? Of course he soon pulled out a small bullet-shaped silver capsule, the front of it was clear, it had a picture of Mario in a pose before it cut off near the top by a silver line, a small box being at the front of the point, it was blank though there was a small switch on the side, likely it had something to do with that.
"Just where did I come from? Why was I there? And why did I have this on me?" The teen asked as he stared at the capsule intently.
"You know kid, you should really consider getting a hobby instead of just asking questions," A gruff voice said but there was no person nearby. In fact the only thing nearby was a box next to a trash can. "If I were you I'd even get a part-time job, you're old enough for it."
"I already have a job Snake, remember? And besides you're chiding me over this but here you are just sneaking around in that box of yours that doesn't work…" The teen gave a sigh.
"Hey, listen here buddy, the cardboard box is an efficient part of my line of work, it's saved me more times than I can count," The box now revealed to be Snake called back. "And second it's called reconnaissance, I just so happened to run into you. Besides Kenshin, even if you are with the organization you still aren't putting much work in compared to the rest of us."
"Sorry, it's just with the whole amnesia thing it's hard to focus on other stuff compared to my memories," Kenshin admitted.
"Right…" The agent rolled his eyes at the teenager's unwillingness to even try and get out of the rut he was in. "Listen, Samus just contacted me through the codec like a few minutes ago. It's why I even moved to this area."
"Samus huh, so is that what your little reconnaissance mission is about?" Kenshin asked as he stood up and walked over to the box. "Also why are you still in the box when you know that I know your there?"
"Because I need to keep up my mission," Snake explained as the box stayed where it was, completely still. "Either way, Samus asked me to find you if you were nearby and send you back to base. She mentioned that it was important that she talked to you as soon as possible."
"Fine, fine, here's hoping its worth it since the base is still a bit of a ways out," Kenshin gave a sigh as he looked at his watch. "Better hurry before she gets annoyed at me being late."
"Right, you go do that," Snake said as he peeked out of his box, seeing the teen run off from the corner of the hole he was looking through. Once he knew that he was in the clear he stood up and tossed the box to the side, giving a small stretch. "Good thing Samus needed to talk to him…" He admitted as he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth before lighting it with a lighter he had. He soon noticed a man in black with a large multi-sectioned sword on his back and spiked blond hair approach him. "Glad to see you could make it Cloud."
"I saw from the distance, you had a lot of trouble trying to get rid of one kid," Cloud commented as he walked over and leaned against a nearby wall while Snake smoked. "You know smoking is bad for you."
"And so is carrying around a giant sword," Snake retorted, deciding to reply to the smoking comment instead of Kenshin being around him. "You're just inviting people into wanting to pick a fight with you. Speaking of, how many showed up today?"
"I had twelve challengers, most of them were a bit out of their depth though, those Mii's all are," Cloud admitted.
"You said most, was there a different one?" Snake questioned as he finished up the cigarette he was on, dropping it to the floor and smashing it with his foot. "Cause normally the Mii's are amateurs compared to everyone else."
"There was this one, he wore red monster crafted armor, with a large heated blade," Cloud explained. "Didn't act cocky in trying to defeat me, and even though I won he didn't seem too beat up about it. Not to mention he did almost win," He mentioned causing Snake to take a step forward and stare at him. "It was a tough fight, and it proves to me that the Mii's can have great potential, so long as it isn't squandered."
"Huh, I see… to think that they might actually be useful aside from that one back then…" Snake commented as he stroked his chin in thought.
"You mean the one from Origin Impact, speaking of… the reason we decided to meet up in the first place," Cloud said as he tried to get back on track. "I've done some investigating and there's an outsider in the city."
"What makes you so sure?" Snake questioned as he put his full attention on Cloud at that moment.
"Whoever it is, their keeping a distance from us seems they know about the organization and what it's supposed to do," Cloud replied. "The reason I say it's an outsider is because I think I was confronted by them."
"Wait, that doesn't make any sense, how do you think you confronted them? If they were an outsider you'd know immediately," Snake explained, unsure of the situation now by Cloud's choice of words.
"Alright here's the deal, I got a lead of a Smash Capsule, the ones you all are looking for," Cloud explained as he moved his neck around to keep it from getting stiff. He closed his eyes before he continued. "When I approached it I heard these strange noises, a robotic voice announcing something before suddenly I was surrounded by ink-black creatures. They were humanoid but were very mannequin-like in appearance. They were able to morph their bodies slightly and gave me a tough time; I had thought I saw a fairly thin figure rush past us and to the capsule. I must have been right because the capsule was gone after I finished the creatures off."
"Sounds like we do have a problem on our hands," Snake commented as he paced around slightly. "The fact that you encountered strange creatures that have never been seen before is evidence to there being an outsider. Not to mention they were smart enough to stop you from reaching a Smash Capsule without actually revealing themselves."
"Then you'll need to report it to Samus, I'll see if I can find any reports and sightings of anyone or anything odd and out of place," Cloud suggested as Snake nodded, the former beginning to head off as Snake went back for his box. However the two were entirely unaware they were being watched by a mysterious figure.
"I suppose the time has come to start our plan," A woman's voice came from the figure as she noticed a Mii in the area that was on its way somewhere else. The mysterious woman took out a capsule that was identical to Kenshin's, however this one had Yoshi striking a pose. She pressed up on the button causing a symbol to appear in the top box. It was a rainbow colored logo with two black lines, a horizontal line towards the bottom and a thick vertical line towards the left, the two intersecting at the to the bottom left of the circles center. It was the Smash Symbol, a symbol used heavily throughout Smash City while also being used now and again in the neighboring kingdoms.
"Yoshi…" The woman trailed as she pulled out a fairly large black revolver, opening up the chamber before revealing it was large enough to fit the capsule into. She slotted the Yoshi Capsule in to the chamber and locked it back into place. "… It is time to mark the beginning of the end."
[Yoshi! Vile Creation!]
Purple energy gathered at the tip of the barrel of the gun before a purple bullet was launched out towards the unsuspecting Mii. The Mii gave a gasp, while he was not pierced with it, the bullet still entered his body, through his back. He fell to the ground as his eyes glowed purple, his body writhing in pain. The woman gave a laugh as she opened up the chamber of the revolver to reveal that the Yoshi Capsule was gone.
Kenshin walked for a while until he entered an alleyway of an abandoned building. Looking to the side there was a door that only opened from the inside, as there were no knobs and it could not be pushed to open. On it was a sign that was labeled: Stock Smash. Kenshin stood in front of the door before the sound of moving brick could be heard, the door and door frame sliding forward as Kenshin went around and entered, going down a staircase as the door closed behind him.
As soon as he finished descending he was met with a wall that lead to two separate hallways, or at least that's what one would think, as there were too many boxes in the hallway to the right to actually traverse. The word Stock Smash was written on the wall with an arrow pointing to the left, Kenshin heading down the hallway before taking a right and heading down a hallway lined with doors. Commotion could be heard behind most of them though Kenshin ignored it in favor of going towards a short hallway that lead to another door, going over he shook the knob twice before pushing against the door, the entire wall sliding ever so slightly as he slipped through. Once on the other side it was revealed that it was just a wall with a slight indention towards the center of it, Kenshin pushing it closed once more before facing the room he was now in. He was on the second floor to a laboratory/secret base, having arrived on a small walkway that surrounded the edges of the room, walking down the steps as he approached a table that was in the middle, sitting in one of the six seats that surrounded it.
"I see you managed to make it, and it looks like you didn't need anyone's help getting here either," A voice spoke out as Samus Aran soon walked out of a door off to the side, though she wasn't in her power suit like she normally was, instead being in her Zero Suit. As such she had two cups in her hands, placing one near Kenshin before sitting in the seat to his left. "So I take it Snake told you that I needed to talk to you?"
"Yes, he said it was important?" Kenshin asked as he took the cup, it was some tea that Samus had brewed for the two of them to drink, soon taking a sip and pulling away as it was still a bit too hot.
"Did he? Oh, he probably just wanted you to hurry up then, it's nothing too important," Samus admitted. "I just wanted to know if you've learned anything new regarding your missing memories."
"Static… my name… basic human functions…" Kenshin trailed a bit as he took a sip of his tea again before setting it down, spacing out a bit.
"Hey kid, you okay?" Samus asked as she moved her hand in front of the teen's face and waved back and forth. "Kid quit daydreaming!" She snapped to try and get him out of whatever was spacing him out.
"Huh?" Kenshin shook his head. "Sorry, kind of spaced out there for a second."
"Yes, I noticed," Samus gave a sigh of annoyance. "Please tell me you remembered something."
"Uh… I remember warriors in armor? Or were they silver suited guys? Aliens… not sure, all I know is remembering very heroic characters, though they were all fuzzy, I can't remember specifics."
"I see, well I also called you here for another reason, more business related," Samus said as she stood up with her cup of tea and walked over to a table, Kenshin taking his cup as well and following her. The table held something covered underneath a sheet and a single Smash Capsule, it having Luigi in a pose. "You know how we mentioned before that we plan on helping you harness the Smash Capsule's power correct?"
"Yeah, cause all I can do right now with Mario's is punch people with flaming fists," Kenshin mentioned as he did a small jab forward with his left hand, sipping a bit more tea in the process.
"Right, what we didn't tell you is what we found out when analyzing the Mario Capsule. As you know we have Luigi's right here in front of us," Samus explained as she held out a hand. "I need to see Mario's for a second to show you what we found."
"Oh, right, here you go," Kenshin complied as he took the capsule out of his pocket and handed it off to Samus who placed it next to the Luigi Capsule, both capsules beginning to glow and resonate with each other, the two being so close that the glows combined into one single glow. "No way…"
"It seems as though when two are placed together they begin to resonate greatly," Samus explained. "It's why I asked for your DNA not long afterwards, something about it lets you sync with the Smash Capsules. So combining the data of the Capsules, your DNA and the fact that likely the fragmented power can become a whole power when combined, we've developed a system to utilize the capsules."
"Oh? So what is it, some kind of weapon, like a gun or maybe a sword?" Kenshin asked as Samus put her hand on the sheet and removed it. Needless to say Kenshin was a bit more confused. It was a large rectangular off-white buckle, it held a circular clear screen with the smash logo molded into the glass, a white and red gripped pump lever pushed in on the outside of the screen, easily accessible for a right hand to pump it with. To fill out the rest of the buckle is a white and red lined box, the words Smash Driver on the front with two slots that were big enough to hold capsules on the top of the box as well as a large button on the side of the box that could be pushed in. "Smash Driver?"
"It is a tool that will allow you to harness the power of the Smash Capsules, combining their energy together to form armor for you to fight with," Samus explained. "Or at least that's how it's designed to work. I'm not sure on what it's going to look like in the end."
"Wait, you and your tech people designed this right? How do you not know what my armor is going to look like?" Kenshin asked a bit surprised before he did a double-take. "Wait my armor, you really expect me to use this thing to get jobs done?"
"Considering you're the only one who can harness the Smash Capsule power, and this is just drawing on the capsules powers to make a physical armor, who knows what it will make," Samus retorted. "It's not like we have access to the data to create a suit for you."
"How do you even know this is going to work?" Kenshin questioned, still a bit skeptical on the idea. "Wait so if every Capsule can be combined then that means I'm going to have like 90 something forms or something? Oh jeez, that sounds like a lot…"
"We'll cross that road when we get there, something tells me not all of them are compatible, we got lucky that Mario and Luigi's Capsules were a good match," Samus admitted. "That being said will you do it? You only have so long to consider this option…"
"I need time to... wait, what do you mean I only have so long?" Kenshin asked, a bit confused by Samus' words. "You make it sound as if there's a world ending threat about to occur."
Samus stayed silent as she walked over to a nearby large screen that was embedded in the wall, a console with various buttons and inputs being directly underneath the screen sticking out of the wall. "You remember the Subspace Emissary story the others would tell you to help you catch up with what was going on?"
"Uh, yeah, it's because of that and Origin Impact that the Smash Capsules are the only thing we have left of the lost warriors," Kenshin recited as he walked over. "And Origin Impact also likely has a key in my memories because you all found me unconscious when the event was over…"
"Good, you're at least picking things up quickly," Samus admitted as she pulled up various data results, showing various sections of the city as well as the various lands surrounding it, several purple orbs popping up, at least one being in each sector. "Those are pockets of subspace opening up, but not long enough for an army to get through. They've been appearing in small bursts ever since Origin Impact, it's why we even assumed Tabuu was still alive. However he isn't using them to send any of his army through, which he could because he has access to Mr. Game & Watch."
"Which is definitely odd, because he can produce Shadow Bugs due to being a 2-Dimensonal being," A voice said as a familiar anthropomorphic grey and white striped wolf entered and walked over to the two. "Quite odd that he isn't sending them out, and if he has we haven't been seeing any reports."
"Nice to see you show up Wolf," Samus commented as she glanced at him. "Though you know you didn't have to."
"Well considering everyone's getting up in arms and tensions are running high behind the scenes here, I'm ready for some action. Was hoping that you might be able to point me in the direction of said action," Wolf explained as he crossed his arms.
"And you're as trigger happy as ever," Kenshin gave a sigh before shaking his head. "Getting back on topic though, what do you think this means?"
"Well Snake is meeting with one of his many sources of information, and one of our allies," Samus replied before an alert began to sound, the purple orbs disappearing before a red orb appeared at a section of Smash City, the area zooming in to reveal that there was apparently an attack happening on the city streets.
"Oh? So I take it that's the radius of where the trouble is being caused?" Wolf mused as he moved in closer to get a good look at where it was. "Seems it's near one of the small tournament arena's."
"Can we get a camera feed going?" Kenshin asked, wondering exactly what was going on that was making the radius of possible damage go up.
"Working on it," Samus said as she began to work on getting a camera feed up and going, they had set up cameras at various points in the city and she managed to find one in a good spot, the video feed slowly cutting in as it was showing the view of the street from a taller building. Various Mii Fighters soon ran into the view of the camera, several of them had arm cannons and were firing at an unknown target only for a strange egg-shaped projectile to come from where they were firing and explode, sending them flying.
Soon enough a strange humanoid walked into view, it was nearly as tall as a human and had white pale skin with green scale armor covering most of its body, only small cracks of white making their way through. Its feet and hands were gold and had three fingers and toe each, the nails being razor sharp. A scale textured spine protruded from its back that lead to a long segmented tail, the spine being orange in color. It also had a tyrannosaurus shaped head, the head being green as well with orange markings on its face.
"What the hell am I even looking at?" Wolf questioned surprised at the creature's appearance while Samus was completely silent, shaking her head. "Hey seriously, Samus, just what kind of freak is that?"
"Samus, you okay?" Kenshin asked as he noticed that she was still silent.
"That's… Yoshi," Samus said slowly as the two stared at her. "Or rather, what I can only assume, something with Yoshi's powers." She added as she grabbed a copy of the live feed and hit the rewind function to go back a few seconds. She found the point where the projectile entered on screen, pausing while managing to zoom and enhance as it was revealed to be a white and green spotted egg of energy. "Definitely, whatever got a hold of the Yoshi Smash Capsule must have corrupted it in some way to access its power."
"Whatever the case, we need to deal with it," Wolf said as he cracked his knuckles. "Dropping a bomb on it from my Wolfen should suffice."
"No…" Samus trailed as she realized that this was their chance, or rather Kenshin's chance. "Wolf your to take the Wolfen but I do not need you to engage, I want you to drop Kenshin off in the battle field."
"Excuse me?!" Kenshin called out in surprise at Samus' orders.
"Yeah I'm with the kid, sure he can punch with fire but that's not going to be enough to beat this thing," Wolf replied. "I understand the bomb idea would cause too much damage, but just let me go in there and deal with it."
"No, I think we might need to let Kenshin deal with it, he has the equipment to fight… and something tells me the only way to get that Smash Capsule and defeat that creature using Kenshin's new power." Samus explained.
"So you're putting all your eggs in the kid's basket then," Wolf commented before giving a small chuckle. "I appreciate the bravado… so if your theory is correct then we need to get going."
"Wait, wait, wait," Kenshin called out as he waved his arms in front of him. "I mean I know you guys have been training me little by little, but do you really think I can handle that thing?"
"Don't hesitate!" Wolf snapped at Kenshin, being one of the few people tired of the teen's indecisiveness. "When the time comes, just act!"
Samus cleared her throat a bit, "While Wolf was a bit loud, he has a point. We can't risk the loss of a Smash Capsule plus innocents are in danger, what is the choice you're going to make? You admitted that Origin Impact may have something to do with your amnesia, the Smash Capsules also originated in that event. If you want answers you need to start to help us collect them. And if they're being used by an enemy to corrupt their powers, we'll need someone who can use the power of the capsules to match that corrupt power. While I can't guarantee that memories will come to you, sitting around and doing nothing won't get you anywhere."
Kenshin gave a sigh, thinking it over before looking at the two and nodding, heading over to the table and taking the Smash Driver before looking it over, placing it near his waist as a yellow belt strap formed to keep it in place. The teen then noticed the still glowing capsules and took the two, pocketing them and walking over to Wolf. "Let's get that Wolfen of yours ready to go, we can't keep that thing waiting."
"That's the spirit," Wolf chuckled as he walked past Kenshin, patting him on the shoulder before motioning him to follow. "It's going to be a bit tight though, Wolfen's and Arwings aren't exactly known for their two-seat functions."
"Doesn't matter, your fast enough," Kenshin replied as he followed after Wolf, the two heading through a door that would lead to an underground hanger they had access to.
Samus looked back at the live footage she was receiving, "To think it's already begun, I hate to lie to the kid but if he's remembering something about heroes then he might already catch on. Needless to say I would have never come up with the idea if it wasn't thanks to some sleeping memories in him… still, show me what you can do."
The Yoshi powered monster continued to walk through the path of destruction it was creating, giving an actual dinosaur styled roar as it made its way forward. Several Mii's with arm cannons all rushed into a line blocking the path, sending missiles at the monster. They all made contact as an explosion occurred, engulfing it in flames.
"We did it!" One Mii cheered before suddenly a large energy egg was launched at them, the projectile landing in front of the brigade of Mii Gunners. As it impacted against the ground an explosion occurred which sent them all flying backwards.
"Not so fast lizard head!" A voice called out as a blue ball slammed into the monsters shoulder before bouncing off. Suddenly defying the laws of physics it homed in on the gut, slamming into that and staggering the creature even further. It bounced off yet again from the slam before suddenly homing in on the head, slamming it hard and sending the creature tumbling backwards as a result. "Honestly, never thought someone would be so stupid to try an attack like this, or ugly," The ball commented as it uncurled and landed, revealing a certain blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with red sneakers and white gloves.
The monster gave a groan before suddenly launching out of its prone position and back onto its feet. It gave a roar as it began to launch energized egg after energized egg at the hedgehog. However it was unable to actually make its target due to it zipping around as a blue blur.
"Sonics the name speeds my game!" Sonic called out as he landed further away. "But considering you aren't talkative I doubt you'd even remember it."
"Hey now Sonic don't hog all the fun, a guy goes for a training jog and finds that the cities being terrorized," A voice said as a man of short stature in a pink sweatsuit and green punching gloves arrived on the scene. Despite having gloves on he suddenly gripped the sweatsuit before throwing it off, revealing a man with green shorts and a black muscle shirt, along with short black hair, he was already in a boxing stance, hopping around.
"Well if it isn't Little Mac, alright buddy we can share," Sonic said as he rubbed his nose. "Just better hurry before that Witch shows up and steals the show."
The monster began looking between both potential targets before giving a loud roar into the air. It then turned towards Little Mac and got ready to approach before green lasers were shot at it to force it as well as the two fighters confronting it to back off. The familiar red and black x winged Wolfen fighter ship dived down and close to the ground, moving towards the group before suddenly shooting straight upwards into the air, everyone covering their faces as the heat from the exhaust had blurred the area slightly.
However a figure had jumped off of the Wolfen right before it shot into the air, and now Kenshin stood before all three of them, Driver on and ready to go. "Alright… for the memories…" He trailed as he still wasn't sure if this was going to work, but he prayed to himself silently. "It's like she said, standing around won't get me anywhere," He mentioned to himself as he took out the Mario Smash Capsule. All three fighters present stared at him as he composed himself, pressing upwards on the button.
To Be Continued…
Authors Note's:
1. So Smash Capsules are designed exactly like Ultra Capsules from Ultraman Geed, except instead of Ultraman and Kaiju in them, it's playable Smash Bros. characters inside. They worked well considering the belt style I had in mind.
2. So I was probably really bad at explaining the Driver so allow me to use it in more fan related terms. Think of it as the Build Driver, that clear circular screen having the Smash Logo molded on it. While the slots where the full bottles go is now a closed box with two holes for the Smash Capsules to fit through. Instead of a crank it's a pump lever like the Ghost Driver. It's all done up in white with red highlights, because you know, Famicom.
3. Importantly though, I've chosen to do this project over EX-Mayhem for several reasons. One I feel like creating my own original rider with a bit of a tether by connecting it to the characters. Two, the Ex-Aid gear, well... a lot of Riders get very personal in terms of gear and upgrades, and the armor becomes the character itself. So unless I made my own Gashat's and I suck at making up fake games, it would feel too weird using Rider Armor like Ex-Aid, Para-DX, or Genm on entirely OC Characters. Third, it was hard to just figure out an original story without sticking to the script of how things went with Ex-Aid, it became more of how to rework Ex-Aid with original characters and Smash Bros. as a backdrop than a standard crossover.
