Author's Note: This is my first published story, so please don't hate!
UPDATE: Hello, I'm APC99, a young author. I've finally decided to just kind of tell you about this before you read, so... It kind of gets crazy in this first part right here. I'm separating these interviews into Days, and it's currently the first Day. Don't be turned off by the interview part, eventually it transforms from an office into a battlefield! How? Keep on reading! Don't be afraid to leave a request and PM me, and if you don't know a character, I'll make a guide eventually...
Mario sighed. He looked at his hat as he waited in a small room sitting alongside some of the greatest heroes in the world. Everyone was as bored as him. Link stood there, shining the Master Sword, Samus was working on her whip, Yoshi was sleeping, Fox was juggling with his reflector, Kirby was devouring a chair, Donkey Kong ate a banana and Pikachu was playing with a Pokeball on the floor. Eventually, the door swung open as Ike entered and turned in his application. All of the fighters from Brawl had officially signed up for the upcoming tournament between them. It was now time to let in the newbies. Fox got a call from the boss and said to the others "Hey! We got 4 more judges now. Apparently we need all of the classic veterans here. Can we get a few translators? No? Well then, we'll turn in all of the applicants later. Yes. Goodbye."
"So, who's first? How many third-parties are coming?" asked Samus.
"We got a villain named the Masked Man. Works for the Pig Mask Army. He'll be let in once Ness, Luigi, Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff arrive. By the way, can we really get a translator for our other friends? Only, what, 7 of us can speak English?" Fox answered.
"And most of us don't-a like talking, amicis!" quipped Mario. Link and Samus nodded.
Luigi entered and fell on the floor. Captain Falcon followed behind him, giving Ness a piggyback ride. Jigglypuff rolled after them, and they sat down. Suddenly, the door swished open as Peach entered.
"Should I let them in, guys?" smirked the princess.
"We're still talking, Peach." growled Link.
"Well, excuse me, prin..."
"QUIET! We don't talk about those days. Let them in."
In walked a huge mechanical machine which strangely looked like a bed. On the bed was a chubby young boy, who then jumped off and smiled as he held a remote control. He wore suspenders and a red bow tie, and had parted blonde hair. The most interesting thing was the mechanical spider legs popping out of his backpack. A slingshot was clear in his pocket as he pressed the button on the remote. In walked another boy wearing a grey helmet covering one of his eyes. He wore a black zip-up jacket with white fur around the collar, alongside orange pants. He held a laser sword in one hand, the other was an arm cannon. His cape swished in the air as the sword flickered. No emotion on his face, he put away the sword and crossed his arms, staring at the veterans. Ness' usually happy face turned into a growl as his eyes began to glow with energy.
"Hello, Ness. Are these the other judges? Good. I'm Porky Minch, future ruler of New Pork City. This is my- I guess you could say friend- Claus, but you can call him the Masked Man." the fat one smirked.
"What do you want, Pokey? Just because you have a bodyguard doesn't mean I'm afraid of you." Ness shouted angrily.
"It's Porky now, you little twerp. And we're here to join your little game. I came because I knew I could finally use my skills against you and that Lucas brat. Masked Man justs wants to kill, so I decided he could fit in with the other baddies."
"Well, the applications are filled out, the movesets are attached, we need more villain reps, we'll send them to base. Thank you for your time, and we'll contact you." Samus sighed. Porky crawled away on his spider legs as Masked Man popped out mechanical wings and flew away.
"Seriously? We're sending my arch-enemy and a brainwashed cyborg into battle against us? They're just here to go after me and Lucas!" barked Ness.
"Ness, you need to know something. In our normal lives, we may hate a person or like a person. But in Smash Brothers, it's about forgiveness or the ability to strike. Look at Mario and Luigi. Even though they're normally the best of brothers, any second in a fight they can go at each other's throats. With Mario and Bowser, sometimes they need to give up their differences and just team up to take care of the opponent." Link calmly assured the boy.
"No more touchy-feely, guys! The next guy is coming up! He's a third-party character from Rareware." Fox replied as he checked his earphone.
Donkey Kong immediately perked up. He watched as the door swung open, and he began to grin until the person entered.
"Urp... Am I late?" the furry guest asked.
