Prologue: A New Beginning
The Smash Mansion, a place where smashers from past and new generations live in harmony. Here they all fight with one another to see who's the best out them all. However back in the brawlers generation, a great menace named Tabuu had planned to turn every smasher into a trophy. No one knows why he wanted to do this and who Tabuu really was. Everyone however knew his immense power and strength and it took the combined efforts of every smasher in order to defeat Tabuu. Everyone thought that he was gone for good, but in reality, he is actually alive. Resting and regaining power, the smashers do not know of what lies ahead of them and the journey they will face.
"Hey Mario! What should we do on our day off?" Luigi said while running to his older twin brother. The smashers were often given days off to relax from fighting. They were free to do anything at the mansion or go back to their homes and don't have to worry about any fighting, or at the very least from the smash mansion.
"I say we go home and relax a bit. Who knows when Bowser will kidnap Peach again. But then again, that means we wouldn't go back to the mansion for a while." Mario said back to his brother in a sarcastic tone.
The two brothers went to their home back in the Mushroom Kingdom. As the brothers entered their house, Luigi began to make tea for the both of them while Mario went towards the direction of their room. "Hey Mario, what's holding you up bro? Your tea is ready.
In a split second, Mario yelled back, "Sorry! I was just putting some of our belongings away. Be there in a sec!" As Mario was now leaving their room to join Luigi in the living room. Mario had brought with him a bag of golden coins. "Hey Luigi we gotta do something with all of these coins, we're ruining out of space.
"Maybe we should deposit them at a bank. That way we still keep our coins, and have room to make more. Never know when we might need them." Luigi said while taking his eyes off his newspaper that he was reading.
As Luigi returned to his paper, he saw something interesting that caught his eye. "Hey Mario! It says here Toads are know researching Mushrooms and there mysterious properties."
"I don't think they will find out. I mean we have mushrooms that heal, some that increase our size, and ones that either shrink us or hurts us." Mario said while putting away the bag of coins he had
Suddenly out of nowhere, there was a knock on the door. "Mail for a Mister... Luigi!" Hearing this both brothers opened the door to see a toad delivering them a letter. "Now which one of you two is Luigi?" The small toad asked.
Luigi sheepishly raised his hand as the mail toad gave him a letter. "Good day to you sirs." The toad said while tipping his hat towards them before he started walking away from the brothers household. As they checked the envelope, they saw it had the smash bros. symbol on it.
"This is not a good sign." Luigi said while sounded very intimidated. As he began to read the letter, he suddenly dropped the letter as he began to feel like the entire world was beginning to spin around him.
"Luigi! What does the letter say!" Mario yelled at his brother while shaking him to try calming Luigi down.
Luigi turned to his brother with a terrified look on his face. "Tabuu is back. And Master Hand is requesting me and a few others to confront Tabuu.
In a split second without any hesitation, Mario responded back in a menacing tone."You know how we both feel when it comes to being separating, but if that damn hand is requesting you and its related to Tabuu, then you better get your ass over there right now!" Mario was never the one to curse unless the situation was very series and Luigi knew that.
As he ran back to the Mansion, Luigi ran into a similar blonde causing both of them to fall and yell, "AGH!"
As they both picked themselves up, Luigi saw it was Shulk, and he had made Shulk drop his papers. "I'm very sorry! I was in a rush to talk with Master Hand and I didn't see you!" Luigi said while helping Shulk pick up his papers.
"Don't worry about it. I was actually conducting a few experiments when I was told by Dunban that I was needed here. Kinda makes me wondering what's going on. "Shulk said while picking up the last remaining papers.
As the two walked together, they entered the meeting room where it was only used for emergencies and serious discussions. As everyone gathered, Luigi saw Sonic, Wario, Bowser, Pit along with Dark Pit, Wolf, Wario, Robin (male), Link, Meta Knight, and Little Mac
As everyone sat down, Master Hand appeared before them and began to speak. "Now some of you may be wondering why I gathered you all here. Others already may have been told before hand. (unintended pun) The menace Tabuu has risen back and is slowly regaining his power. That is why I brought you all here for."
"Oh yeah. I remember Palutena told us newcomers about Tabuu and how he defeated everyone like it was nothing." Robin said aloud. Most people didn't realize he was aware of the events that occurred in The Subspace Emissary, even though he wasn't directly involved.
Shulk asked the disembodied hand. "Why is that you are only sending us and not everyone? It sounds like it would be better to send all of us rather than just 12 fighters."
"If I were to send everyone on this mission, then you would all stand out and compromise the mission." Master Hand said back to Shulk.
This caught the gathered smashers attention . Meta Knight had then asked the hand, "Wait, why would is it that we can't stand out?"
Master Hand hesitated to answer Meta Knight's question. "Well you see, Tabuu escape to another universe. Now, I know you all maybe wondering why this is such a big problem."
Everyone knew Master Hand was right. The smashers were all aware of the existence of multiple universes given the fact that most of them came from different worlds.
"The reason why is because the universe Tabuu is hiding is a universe that none of you are from."
This shocked everyone and they knew that this was a major problem. Dark Pit had gotten out of his chair and began to yell. "Then what the hell are we suppose to do?!"
"I looked into it and it seems to be composed of humans on Earth. However, I noticed that there are what seems to be ninjas around the area Tabuu is hiding. I plan for all of you to blend in with their groups, train and become stronger, and finally locate and defeat Tabuu once-more." Master Hand said while trying to calm down Dark Pit.
Hearing this, Luigi then asked, "Wouldn't it be better to send Greninja rather than us?"
Master Hand became depressed and in response said, "Unfortunately, he left along with Lucario and Ryu on a training regimen and we don't have the time to wait for their return."
"Wait a minute. If we go how we normally look, we would stick out and would get into some serious trouble. What the hell are we suppose to do about the turtle, the angels, and the rest of us." Wolf asked while slamming his fist on the table.
Adding to the discussion, Robin said, "Yeah. Me and Shulk are fine, but almost everyone else would blow our covers since they aren't humans."
"You mean just you. I just look like a human, but in reality, I'm a homs." Shulk said back sarcastically to Robin. Everyone except for Luigi just was know glaring at Shulk.
Master Hand stood silent until he had an idea. "I will change those of you in need of disguises as young teenage humans."
This of course caused commotion to stir up between the smashers mainly due to the fact no one would know what would happen to them should they turned into human teens. The only ones who stood calm were Shulk, Robin, and Little Mac due to them already being human and are still considered teens or at the very least, young adults.
Bowser had now also began to yell at Master Hand. "Now hold up! What the hell is going to happen to us after you change us into humans?!"
"You most likely might fight differently than what you're used to. However people like Pit would just lose his wings or with Luigi looking younger. However the rest of you will undergo a major change." Master Hand while preparing to change everyone's appearance.
Before anyone could urge him to stop, Master Hand waved his hand and almost everyone had undergo a major physical change. Everyone who was transformed either looked younger or was now a human being.
Suddenly out of nowhere, Pit began to yell. "NO! My wings are gone!" He was now touching his back where his wings used to be.
"Get real. You were never able to fly with those from the very beginning." Dark Pit said to Pit.
"I can get use to this new bod!" As everyone turned around to see Bowser in his human form. He had orange hair, a six-pack, was wearing a tank-top, and was wearing his iconic bracers. He also had his shell, but shrunken on his back.
"I never been a teen before. I kinda like it!" Luigi said as everyone turn his attention to him. He was still wearing his iconic blue overalls and green shirt, but now had no facial hair, looked younger, and was skinnier than before.
"Agreed. I prefer my current stature than my previous one." Meta-Knight said. He still had his wings, mask and his cape on him, however he was about Shulk's height, had medium length blue-hair, and was wearing a knight's armor.
"This isn't terrible, nor does that mean I like being a human." Wolf said while looking at himself through a mirror. He was wearing a black top, a blue vest, spiked shoulder pads, and his black gloves.
"I don't feel any different." Link said adding to the conversation. Most people believed that Link couldn't talk at all, but every smasher knew he did that on purpose and that he could actually talk. Hell most of them stood silent when they were fighting or just going through their respective games.
"No, your ears aren't pointy anymore." Luigi said while pointing at Link's ears. "You also don't have those sideburns."
"Hey! What the hell happened to me?!" Wario yelling so loud that everyone had to cover their ears before they went deaf. Wario was just a little taller and lost a few pounds. However his nose was now smaller and wasn't pink anymore, his chin change so he had a single round chin, and he lost his iconic mustache.
Sonic began to mess with his legs. "So this is how I look like as human" Sonic said in a cheerful mood. He had his iconic sneakers on, but he was now wearing blue jeans, and a jacket that in the middle was white and blue on his arms. He also had small blue headphone buds and his end of his blue hair barely reaches his shoulders.
"Now that you are situated with your new bodies, I will give all 24 hours to gather any materials you will take with you on your journeys. You are dismissed." Master hand said to the gathered smashers.
Before anyone left, Master Hand began to speak again. "I almost forgot to assign you into different groups!" This of course peaked everyone's curiosity as there attention was turned to Master Hand. "I noticed four different groups of ninjas are present, so I will split all of you into four different groups and assign leaders. Shulk, you will be in charge of Link, Luigi, and Sonic." Shulk then began to look at his chosen teammates. "Bowser, you will be in charge of Wolf and Wario."
Bowser began to laugh out loud. "Alright! But its not my fault if they can't keep up with me!" Bowser said with a cocky tone.
A sweat dropped down from everyone's head, somehow including Master Hand himself. "Right... Meta Knight and Dark Pit will be a team, however I will not elect a leader for you two." Master Hand actually made a very wise decision since neither Dark Pit nor Meta Knight like following orders, but rather do whatever they wanted to do. "Finally, Pit will be in charge of Little Mac and Robin." Pit and Robin were happy to be working together, and Little Mac didn't seemed bother by this.
"Also in that world, if you die, you're gone for good. Now you may go prepare themselves." Master Hand said while waving them off. Hearing that last part made almost everyone begin to worry thinking they might die. They always been used to that if they died, they would just come back like it was nothing. This was an entirely different situation.
Everyone was leaving the room when suddenly they saw every smasher was waiting outside. There was a long silence until Mario finally broke the ice. "We heard everything, including the Tabuu part and you guys going to another universe none of us are from."
Luigi went up to his brother apologizing. "Mario, we have to..." However before Luigi could finish his statement, Mario left without a word.
One Day Later
The chosen smashers were now standing in front of the smash mansion preparing to leave. Master Hand had opened a portal that would send the smashers into the area Tabuu is in.
People like Shulk and Robin were taking a few items along with them before they left. However almost everyone else was taking nothing with them since they mainly fought with only their weapons and never used items or gear.
"Alright. Our chosen smashers will now journey to defeat the menace Tabuu once again!" Master Hand announced to all the gathered smashers. Cheering was followed up by all of the other smashers. One by one, each smasher jumped through the portal with whatever they had with them at the time.
Luigi was the only one left and was about to enter through the portal. However he saw Mario in the distance running up towards him. "Luigi. You're gonna have to do this without me. However I know that you're strong and brave. So here." Mario said while giving Luigi the Poltergust 5000.
"E. Gadd added in a function so the Poltergust will look like a normal backpack." Mario said while pushing a button on the side of the portable vacuum. The Poltergust suddenly turned into a red backpack. " He aid he calls it the Polterpack. I also packed a few items in there for as well as some gear and coins just in case."
Seeing this, Luigi hugged his brother before heading towards the portal. Mario spoke up once again and said, "And promise me one thing. Return back home. I don't wanna hear you game overed, alright?" Luigi turned around and gave his brother a thumbs up before stepping through the portal.
"Uh oh." Master Hand said right the very second the portal had just closed.
Mario just face palmed before talking to Master Hand "Let me guess, you forgot something else you wanted to tell them, right?"
Master Hand some how looked shocked that Mario was right. "I forgot to tell them that they might be separated from their groups. Oh well. What's done is done."
Mario just let out a heavy sigh after hearing Master Hand's comment. "Well I have a feeling those guys will do great no matter what." And with that, everyone returned back towards the smash mansion where they all wait to learn any progress.
