Now onto the story.

Smash Bros. Capcom - Expedition

The Smash Orb, aka The Orb of the Once-Almighty. With that antique stone, one could move the stars, create land and water, harness power from within, and can even control time and galaxy itself, making wish and dream come true. A dark mage once possessed this antique and used it to overthrow the entire universe. During that tragic day, he took over the world by destroying all planets, even Earth, to the Sun. That time was known as "End of the Universe" A millennium has passed since that day and the Smash Orb has returned to its altar. But who has their eyes set on this destructive stone this time?

: Chapter 1:

"Get them!" A yell sounds from deep inside an ancient structured cave. Ryu and Ken are seen running down the halls. A herd of shadows is pursuing them.

"Nice going Ken!" Ryu is angry at Ken, "If you haven't touched that jewel monkey in the first place—"

"It was calling to me!" Ken whines, "Stop blaming me for goodness' sake!"

The duo stops at their tracks as they saw another herd of shadows coming toward them. The shadows are revealed to be soldiers and elite working for Shadoloo. They are carrying heavy guns, bazookas and rifles.

Ryu and Ken each faced their opponent, their backs against each other's, "We're done for." Ken singsongs.

An audible voice sounds from an earphone placed inside Ryu's right ear. Ryu adjusts it to listen. Chun-Li was on the other line, "What's taking you so long? Are you guys okay?"

"Chun." Ryu mutters, "We're fine. We're just having trouble thanks to a certain someone."

"Oh so now it's my fault?"

"GET EM!" One of the soldiers yells and immediately the entire troop leaps on the duo. Ryu jumps in the air and Ken rolls on the floor. Ryu throws a Hurricane Kick and a sweep kick, knocking about a dozen soldiers. Ken ran in circle through the soldiers, landing flaming uppercuts and elbows on them. The soldiers were down and out.

"I don't think you need to worry anymore Chun." Ken yells to Ryu's ear so that Chun-Li could hear him, "We took care of the gang."

"Dude…" Ryu gently rubs his ear.

"Are you sure?" Chun-Li yells on the other line. Before Ken could respond, an explosion gushes out of the ground, emerging a dozen of Shadoloo elites. Ryu and Ken look around and saw they were completely surrounded.

"…I begin to think I wasn't." Ken whispers again to Ryu. Ryu rolls his eyes. At the same time, the surrounding elite formed a path allowing two people to come through. They were M. Bison and Wario. M. Bison smiled, his blank eyes gleamed. Wario smiled as well, showing all of his teeth. Bison is floating and has his cape on.

"Give me what I'm looking for." M. Bison demands.

"Yeah." Wario exclaims, "Give him what he's looking for."

"Should we say 'Never'?" Ken whispers to Ryu. Ryu approaches Bison and narrows his eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about Bison."

"You know full well what I'm talking about, fooling mortal." Bison says, "The Orb of the Once-Almighty, spoken by legends. Chun-Li and you two are after this aren't you? Oh and it's not just you three, the United States Air Force Lieutenants are after it too heh?"

"What makes you think that?" Ken asks. Bison smiles, points his palm toward Ryu's ear and psychically removed the earphone and crunches it. A dial tone rang through the damage earphone, "Take 'em away."

Ryu and Ken place a stance, "No way in hell you're going to take us down without a fight." Ryu sneers.

"Yeah so if you think you can take us down, think again sucker."

Bison grins. Wario looks up to Bison, "They called you sucker."

"I know Wario." Bison removes his cape, which disappears in sight, "But after this fight, we'll see who the sucker is."

Ryu and Ken steps a foot forward, another foot backward, their hands together and almost reaching their backs. They yell "HADOKEN!" together as they aim their arms toward a smiling Bison.

-Smash Base-

The Smash Base is seen floating gracefully above the reddish skies. Inside the Smash Base, Zero-Suit Samus Aran is seen in the kitchen frying and fixing up a delicious Chinese meal. Fox McCloud comes by and sees her going at it.

"Wow Samus. I didn't know you could cook." He says.

"I cook all the time back home." Samus says, "I'm fixing some delicious green onion pancakes served on sweet and sour dipping sauce."

"Green onion pancakes?" Fox raises an eyebrow, "Who would want to eat that?"

Suddenly a herd of smashers—Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, Link, Pit and Meta-Knight runs to the dining hall like children on Christmas Day, their plates trembling on their hands.

"Yo Sam, is your yummy breakfast fixed up yet?" Mario asks.

"Gimme the big one!" Link complains.

"No, give me the big one!" Pit complains.

"I'm the captain here, so I need some food!" Meta-Knight yells.

"PIPIKACHU!" Pikachu complains.

Kirby drops the plate, stretched his mouth wide open and inhales the entire feast, close to swallowing some smashers. Kirby gulps the pancakes and the sauce, burps, and sighs. The smashers angrily stare at the pink puffball that went straight to sleep after his dining.

"Here goes our breakfast now." Mario sighs.

Suddenly, a strident alarm sounds all around the Base. The smashers look around the room that turns totally red, burning with the emergency lights.

"Your Attention Smashers. Please head towards the Smash Bros. Bureau for an important conference. Please head towards the Smash Bros. Bureau for an important conference." The computer says.

The smashers look at each other, seemingly worried.
