Brawl

Prologue – News Report

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning into Radiant News, I'm your host, Liz Golan.

"Firstly, there was been a fire down on Fifth Street in smash town, reports say no one was home at the time, but the house was a total loss. The fire crew says the fire starting in the kitchen, but no word on the cause.

"There was also an accident on Main Street; Police say it was due to black ice and drunk driving, no one was seriously hurt.

"Now I'll turn it over to Jeff Turning for the weather, Jeff."

"Thank you Liz, now as you all know, spring is right around the corner, so the temperatures are climbing ever so slowly. Tonight's lows will range between 10 and 15, tomorrow highs are expected to right around 43-54, sunshine all day with a few clouds come the afternoon. The Marine Forecast, wind blowing northeast at about 5 nautical miles, waves 2-4 feet, with perfect visibility, no craft advisories, looks to be a good day all around, Liz."

"Thank you Jeff. Coming up after the break; reports of a well known tournament returning for another round, and another look at your local forecast."

Within what looks to be a restaurant, the TV is on with Radiant News, that has now gone into a commercial break. One lone occupant was in there, cleaning up so that he could officially open it up once more come the start of the tournament as a place for his friends, new and old, to sit down, relax, and just talk.

His name, Kirby, he is a contestant of the tournament, known as Super Smash Brothers, and has been one since the beginning. With the approval of the hand behind the creation of the tournament, he created this little place called Kirby's Café. The other contestants pay half price for the meals while patrons have to pay full price. Kirby is an understanding fellow, so the prices aren't a noose, they won't hang. In fact, it is because of those prices that made Kirby's Café so popular, that and you get to hang out with your favorite contestant. Kirby might be a small, pick puffball as he heard people call him, but that doesn't change a thing; the only thing the other contestants fear is him being around so much food.

Yet Kirby has done well, toning down his urge to swallow all food. There was also concern for how many hands needed to run the place, but thanks to the hand behind SSB, there was no worry; the figures known as Wire Frames gave the help. Kirby has made exceptions, there are a few friends who come in back and help make food, and one of them makes a mighty fine pizza.

Kirby's attention went back to the TV set just as the news came back on.

"Welcome back. I'm sure everyone has heard rumors about familiar faces from the arena of the popular tournament, Super Smash Brothers, walking around town. Earlier today, our crew got a chance to talk with one of those faces, here's the report by Fred Raccoon."

The screen changes to a view of the restauarnt early in the afternoon.

"I'm sure this is a familiar sight for everyone who was here last tournament, Super Smash Brothers Melee, the famous Kirby's Café. I got a chance to go inside and talk with a very familiar face."

Inside a lit café, one can see it has been worked on. Kirby is seen sitting on the counter as the news folk walked in.

"Kirby, might you have anything that could confirm the rumors of Smashers walking around town?"

"Oh, yes, I can. My friends are slowly arriving for another tournament coming up in about four months."

"Another Tournament?"

"Melee and the original Super Smash Bros. was such a hit that the Master Hand is making plans for another tournament, with more smashers, more stages, in hopes that it will be just as successful as the first two."

"Has it been named yet?"

"The hand told me Brawl."

"Are you going to open the café again?"

"Don't you see the construction to expand the place? Of course I plan on opening again."

The scene changed, and the news reporter is seen on the camera.

"As told from a long time smasher, Super Smash Brothers is returning, and it should be bigger then ever. I'm Fred Raccoon with Radiant News."

The screen is back at the studio.

"You heard it yourself, folks, lets help give them the success they are looking for."

Kirby turns off the TV. Master Hand had actually told him to go ahead and tell the news reporters if they did come. He couldn't wait for the tournament to start, to see everyone and to meet the new faces. Granted, he's already met one, but that is because they both come from the same area.

Locking the place up, Kirby heads up Second Street, that is where the Smash Mansion is located. Entering, he checks the list to see who has arrived. There was him and Meta Knight, someone named Pit, another named Snake, and finally someone named Ike. He didn't know who the last three were, however Meta Knight is from Kirby's land, either with or against him, depending on the situation.

There were familiar names as well: Samus, Donkey Kong, Fox, Pikachu, and Yoshi. He was actually surprise that the Mario Gang hadn't arrived, as well as Link's group. Normally Mario was the first Smasher to arrive, as he did in the original, but this year it was said that Yoshi arrived first.

The mansion was silent as Kirby trotted up the stairs to his room. It is odd since the place was normally a bustle of action, even for the few smashers there were. In front of his door sat a sphere, angle in such a way he could see between the two shell pieces that holds it together and spies an energy sphere on the inside. Frowning, Kirby looks around the hallway, and on the ceiling was one of the newcomers. Taking a deep breath, Kirby lifts himself into the air, and then kicks the newcomer out of his hiding spot.

"Who are you?" Kirby asks the man, who was rubbing his right arm he landed on when he fell.

"Snake, one of the new smashers." He replies coolly.

"What were you doing?"

"Trying to identify this sphere that's been rolling around."

It was all Kirby could do to keep a straight face. He knew why the man was slightly curious to learn more about those he would be put against, but to expend the energy to follow a sphere, he found that slightly funny. Kirby walks over and taps the sphere.

"So why are you rolling around?" He asks the sphere.

"Nothing better to do until the other girls show up." A cyber voice responds. Suddenly the sphere changes form and becomes an armored warrior. "How comes the café?"

"Expansion is almost done, looks like I'll be able to open come Brawl day."

"That's good to hear, Kirby, I'll see you later."

"Later Samus!" he replies, then turns to Snake. "I'll see you around as well."

"Farewell, we will have a chance later to learn about each other." He says, and then leaves.

Kirby enters his room quietly. The day was quickly coming to a close and the pink ball was planning on turning in early. Meta Knight was in there, the two had to share a room. Neither mind, their belongings was scattered throughout the room.

"You did well on the news." Meta said, his sword hanging on the dashboard of his bed.

"I guess so." Kirby said, "At least the hand has allowed for practice bouts upon a neutral stage."

"Aye, I heard from Master Hand that although he's announced stages, they aren't done fully."

"They look impressive."

"I wonder who else is going to show for this tournament."

"Link and Mario, old friends, long time smashers like I." Kirby said, climbing onto his bed, "Those two I know, they wouldn't miss this.

"Ah, yes, how to they fair?"

"That's something you're going to have to experience yourself." Kirby said, "Don't know about you, but I'm going to bed."

"Sleep well then, Kirby."

Just as the sun disappeared, a shuttle appeared. Two figures exit and enter the mansion, signing in and guided to their rooms, which are in a quad like area for them. Samus greets them, then all turn in for the night.

Hello Readers. This here is my attempt at another SSB story.

Considering the time that i'm doing this, only confirmed characters are showing up in the early chapters, and hopefully as more get introduced, i'll write up a chapter that brings them to the mansion.

This story will update slowly only becasue i only have the information of few characters, but i'll try to make it interesting at the same time.
