Guess who's back? Back again? WK's back! Let the fun begin!
IT'S HERE! THE FOURTH STORY OF THE "SMASH RESCUERS" IS HERE! CAN I GET A WOOT WOOT?!
Hey guys! Warrior Kitty here with, as said, the next story in the "Smash Rescuers" series! Now, ever since I had finished "Fallen Revenge", I have been thinking and developing what the plot will be, I got most of it down, I REEEAAAALLLY like it, and I'm sure you all will, too! I gotta say, this story probably has my favorite plot of all the stories, so far. Yes, it even out-favorites the plots of the next two stories that I have planned after this one! This is because I'm adding in some fan-made Smash Bros history that I made up myself, and it ties into the entire story!
In fact, as said in the summary, this story revolves around the Master Core. Once I first found about it when Smash Bros for 3DS came out, I have decided to make it what this story is about! Also, this is also a small part of why I wanted to go on my break back in late October, and why all stories that I had after it weren't very frewuent on updates. I wanted to start to work on this story!
But, now that I'm here with the next "Smash Rescuers" installment, let us begin! Go and read your hearts out! Enjoy!
The Smash Rescuers: Legend of the Aura Shard prologue
This is a tale, that goes beyond the generations.
The many vast worlds of this land; the homes and origins of our legendary heroes. From the Mushroom Kingdom, to the medieval land of Hyrule. To the metallic giant of Bionis, to Skyworld above, beyond the planet, Popstar, and the stars of the Lylat System.
The land of Nintendo.
These worlds exist among each other, living in peace as if they were neighbors. To honor these allying worlds, a tournament was created. The legendary heroes from all around Nintendo join together where this tournament is held, in the center land of Nintendo; Smashville. They battle it out in combat, to see who is held victorious among others. Friendships, and even rivalries, grew between the heroes, who were soon identified as the Smashers. This tournament, known as the Smash Bros tournament, has been going on for many years and was created and ran by Master Hand, along with his brother, Crazy Hand.
But, what about...before these worlds of Nintendo became allies? What was it like? Very, very different.
Long ago, long before the heroes were born, these worlds knew none of each other. They had no idea that each existed. It wasn't until travelers from these worlds discovered the many lands, that they had found out one another. What happened then? Hostilities erupted, conflicts rose, battles began.
The worlds were at war.
Battles raged out across the lands, for years upon years, this war had gone on. Inhabitants of the worlds were born, many trained in combat when they came of age, lives were lost, recruits went out to the battlefield, process repeats. It wasn't until decades later, on one year, that everything took a turn...

In one house, a young boy stood and looked out a window. In the area that he lived in, the residents were being rushed in their homes by Toads wearing uniforms. "Everyone, quickly!" One of the Toads announced to everyone as they rushed about. "King Toadstool has ordered to stay indoors and in a safe area, for it's dangerous outside! Quickly, move along! Quickly!"
The boy continued to watch and then glanced out in the distance from beyond the land of the Mushroom Kingdom. Many fiery lights were illuminating in the darkened sky as bangs, booms, and explosions sounded about from all directions; where the war was raging on. The lights and glows reflected from his blue eyes as they held a frightened gleam. Gripping something in his hands, the boy looked down at the hat that he held.
"Maybe one day," He whispered as he placed the hat on his head, revealing an "M" on the front (*) "Everyone will stop fighting and we can be friends."

Much farther away, the grass crunched as many feet rushed through the forest. It was near the edge where the land of Hyrule ended. A group of soldiers from Hyrule castle were moving quickly, for they had been ordered to search and take guard in a certain area; an area that had no troops or soldiers from any of the enemy worlds claiming and scouting, making it free land. Heeding this, the king had sent them out to this land and patrol it. The group continued moving until the soldier leading held up a hand and signaled them to stop. Once they did, they all gazed out at the bare field of tall grass ahead of them. Not a single tree or landmark was in sight in the vast opening.
"What's wrong, Rusl?" One of the hyrulian soldiers quietly asked. The soldier at the front, Rusl, remained silent for a moment then spoke.
"This is our destination." He said. "The place we were supposed to scout at."
"So what's our plan?" Another soldier questioned. "Is it safe to step out?"
"I'm not sure." Rusl responded. "By what I've been told, this land isn't a part of Hyrule, or any of those damned worlds. That's why we were ordered to come here and claim it for our use. But it's like...the center of something, but no one knows what's located here." He went silent as many thoughts started rushing through his head. Finally, he narrowed his eyes and gripped the handle of his sword. "I'm going out to investigate. The rest of you stay here and keep watch. Don't come until I signal you." Before the other hylian soldiers could object, Rusl quickly headed out into the field.
Dead silence. That was all that could be heard, except for the light crunching of grass under the soldier's feet. Rusl slowly, and cautiously, moved through the vast, empty field, stopping every once in a while to look at his surroundings for danger. But there was nothing. He seemed to be the only one out in the field.
Rusl kept his guard up as he moved farther into the empty land. His blue eyes scanned the tall grass as it began to sway in the cold breeze.
Snap!
Rusl jumped at the noise and quickly turned to where he heard it from. But there was nothing. He then narrowed his eyes as he tightened his hand around the handle. There was something wrong. Suddenly, a large bolt of lightening shot from nowhere and hit the ground next to the soldier. Rusl was blown back and he landed roughly on the ground. Grunting, he staggered back to his feet, but froze when he heard a chuckle.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones ordered to claim and scout out here."
Rusl snapped around to see a tall man step out of the tall grass. He wore dark, green, camo clothing and had short, spiky blonde hair. Next to him, a large, mouse-like creature stood on all fours in a battle stance. The creature had light brown fur with a white belly and a long, thin tail with the tip shaped as a lightening bolt. Sparks of electricity were sprouting from yellow patches on it's cheeks as it glared at the hylian soldier.
Rusl stared at it with wide eyes, for he never seen such a creature before. He then directed his gaze back to the man, who continued to speak. "However, that doesn't mean we'll hold back on attack." He said.
"Rai rai." The creature said in agreement.
Rusl narrowed his eyes and pulled out his sword. "Neighter will I."
The man chuckled once more. "They don't call me a lieutenant for nothing."

As the battles went on, they were all unaware of an object, located in the center of the land of Nintendo. This object held great power, for it was what kept the many worlds balanced. On one half, it was made up of negative aura. The negative aura represented violence and destruction of the lands, where hatred and suffering is sourced. The other half is made of positive aura. The positive aura represents peace and harmony, where everyone helps one another and kindness is rekindled.
This object is called the Aura Shard.
The auras inside it stay contained and balanced; if a problem erupts within a land, the negative aura increases, but is soon balanced down with the positive aura when an issue is resolved and no harm was done. If the negative aura were to overflow, it would leak from the Shard, and cause great destruction to all of the Nintendo worlds. But, this balance was changed.
With the war raging on and all the battles taking place among the lands, the negative aura had been increasing and increasing, and with no one stopping it at all, the positive aura hadn't been fueled to balance it out.

Lightening struck the ground as the creature, as we all know as Raichu, fired many at the hyrulian soldier. Rusl jumped and dodged as many of the bolts as he could, but they were coming fast and one had hit him, blowing him back. He landed on his back and slowly got back up to his feet. Clenching his teeth, he ran forward with a battle cry and went to strike the Pokemon. Raichu was quick to sidestep and instead of the soldier hitting him, the man, Lt Surge, had appeared in front of him and gave a hard blow to his face.
Rusl stumbled back and covered his face. Raichu saw this as an opening and shot forward, preparing a Mega Punch. However, Rusl's eyes quickly snapped back open and he swung his sword, getting the electric Pokemon right in the side.
"Rai!" He wailed in pain and fell to the ground. Lt Surge gasped and quickly ran to him, kneeling down next to it. Blood seeped from the large gash in Raichu's side, soaking into his fur. He looked back up at Rusl still standing a couple feet away, gasping for breath.
"You little pest!" He shouted in rage as he stood back up. The hylain soldier readied his sword and the two faced off.
Little did they know of something just beside them. Deep within the ground, a purplish-blue slab of flat, smooth stone was buried in the earth. On one side of it, a golden light was flickering weakly, but a dark red light glowed and shined brightly on the other side. It grew brighter and brighter until, the stone snapped. Slowly, dark particles started leaking from it and then, started rising through the earth.
Back in the field, Rusl and Lt Surge continued to face each other down, death glaring each other. Still on the ground, Raichu had reopened his eyes and looked up at his master, worry beginning to grow in it. But before any of the two could make a move, the ground began to vibrate. The two took their attention away from each other as their eyes widened. They struggled to keep their footing as the tremor grew and got more violent. Finally, after a moment of this, a loud, deafening boom sounded through the air.
Rusl and Lt Surge turned to see a large crack form in the ground just meters beside them. As it opened wider, something dark began to rise out of it. Dark, particle looking things started to come out of the ground and gather together, rising high into the air. The two's heats started pounding fast as they stared at it in complete shock and started backing up.
"Rusl!" A voice shouted. The rest of the hylian soldiers came running into the area, for they have saw the many bolts of lightening from the Pokemon. When they arrived, however, they came to a dead stop as they looked up at the mass of dark particles. It continued to grow until a read glow appeared on it, resembling eyes, and it changed into a shape of a chimera. It opened it's mouth and gave a loud roar.
Everyone was frozen in their spots as they stared at the creature, shocked and frightened. The dark mass turned to all of them and roared once more, charging toward them to attack. However, something else was happening within the earth as well.
The Shard underground started vibrating wildly as the golden light started glowing brighter and brighter. Finally, a golden mass had broken free from the shard and shot straight through the ground. Back on the surface, everyone readied their weapons as the dark mass advanced, but something broke right out of the ground and into the air. The hylian soldiers and the lieutenant, along with the dark mass, looked up to see the golden mass floating in the air and take the form of a great bird. A white light glowed and formed it's eyes as it looked down at the group on the ground.
"Do not be frightened." It said. "I am here to help."

The negative aura within the Aura Shard is known to the people of the Nintendo lands as the Master Core. Once it's free, it takes five forms and is able to change between them. Four of these forms are called Master Beast, Master Edges, Master Giant, and Master Shadow. The fifth form, as far as history has told, is unknown.
The positive aura is known as the Serenity Core, but it only takes one form; the form of an eagle. If the Master Core were to be released, the Serenity Core comes out as well to fight it off, in order to lessen it's power and re-seal it within the Aura Shard. However, if the Master Core were to ever contain enormous amounts of power, that task will be impossible. So the only way to seal the Master Core, is with the Serenity Core itself.
(Page Break)
Everyone stared in awe at the golden mass above them. All that could be seen at this point were the two masses flying high in the sky above them; one black and one gold. They clashed and collided with each other, giving all their might to make the other fall. As this kept up, the two broke away from each other and stared one another down, white glowing eyes meeting red ones. After a few moments of silence, the Master Core quickly changed form and turned into many sword blades, known as Master Edges. They flew at the Serenity Core at a great speed, taking it by surprise and slashing away at it. But the golden mass won't go down easily. It regained itself and started firing beams of light at the black swords.
Lt Surge, Rusl, and the hylian soldiers all remained in their spots as they watched the fight continue out, still as statues as they experienced this sight. The sound of footsteps then caught their attention and they turned to see a group of soldiers with Pokemon with them enter the clearing. They quickly spotted the lieutenant and rushed to him.
"Lt Surge! Where have you been?" One soldier asked. Suddenly, a large boom sounded, making everyone jump and look toward the sky once again. Immediately, the Pokemon region soldiers' eyes all widened when they saw the two masses of dark and light battling it out in the sky. "W-What's going on?!" The soldier asked once more, frightened.
"I don't know!" Lt Surge replied as Raichu inched closer to him, shivering. Just then, the Serenity Core had gotten a hold of the main Master Edge and gripped it tight in it's beak. With great strength, it threw it straight down toward the ground with the smaller blades getting pulled with it. Farther away from the hylian and Pokemon soldiers, the dark mass slammed right into the ground with a deafening thud. Everyone stared at it in dead silence as the Serenity Core slowly descended from the sky and hovered over them. All eyes were on the still, dark mass. Finally, ever so slowly, the Master Core changed it's form back into a swarm and started getting up, growling. The soldiers all gasped and started to slowly back away, but the Serenity Core only narrowed it's eyes.
I've weakened it, but it's still able to continue. It said to itself. With all this war going on for years, it's become too strong to be sealed once more. I've...I've got only one thing to do. To seal it with myself. The Serenity Core gave a large screech and shot forward, swooping right above the soldiers, and towards the Master Core. It stopped right in front of it and spread it's wings out to their full length. As this happened, many golden rays started to emit from it and surround the dark mass. This caused the Master Core to struggle and give a loud roar in pain. The Serenity Core narrowed it's eyes in concentration to keep it from escaping, then glanced back at the soldiers.
"Quickly! Get the Aura Shard!" It shouted at them. The soldiers just only glanced at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what it meant. "In the crack, in the ground!" It continued, urgency now in it's voice. "Get the shard that's deep inside it!" The soldiers then turned to the said crack. Heeding the Core's words, they all ran toward it and knelt down at the edges, looking inside. The crack went down pretty deep in the earth, but no doubt, a flat-looking stone was laying there, barely visible.
"Quickly! We need a psychic-type to get it!" Lt Surge commanded. One of the soldiers then looked at his Pokemon, which was an Alakazam. The two nodded to each other and the Pokemon's eyes glowed, performing the move, Psychic. Down in the crack, a purple-ish glow surround the Aura Shard and slowly, lifted up. Everyone watched in awe as the flat stone floated before them. They all remained still as they looked at it, however, Rusl slowly reached out to touch it. But, as soon as his fingers made contact with the Shard, a shock of pain seared through his body and he grunted in pain, jerking his hand back.
"No one touch it!" The Serenity Core said back to them. "The Aura Shard is a powerful artifact, made to keep the auras of negativity and positivity represented in the Nintendo worlds, contained and balanced. Only a being with the ability to channel aura can touch it. Anyone of you who can, please do so, now!"
Lt Surge quickly scanned through the Pokemon and Pokemon region soldiers and immediately spotted a Lucario standing among them. "Quick! Grab the Shard!" He ordered it. The Lucario gave a nod and ran forward, getting the stone in it's paws. As it did, blue aura emitted form it's paws and the Aura Shard glowed bright; so bright, it was almost white. The Pokemon and hylian soldiers had to shield their eyes from it, but right then, a rather large beam shot out of the stone and toward the dark and gold masses. Once making contact, the Master Core let out an ear-splitting screech as the golden rays of the Serenity Core began to engulf it.
The golden mass watched as this happened, then closed it's eyes and spread it's wings more. Bright energy began to emit from it and formed a smaller, golden orb in front of it. "To ensure that the Master Core is to forever be sealed, it must become one with the Serenity Core and be put to rest." The Serenity Core said aloud. "In my sacrifice, I am sparing some of my aura, to be in my place as the new Serenity Core."
It then sent the small gold orb away and turned back to the Master Core, which was now completely over taken by the golden rays. The Serenity Core then closed it's eyes and let it's body glow. It then went inside the dark mass and intertwined itself with it. The large cluster of dark and gold started to violently struggle at this action, but slowly, it started to weaken. All of the soldiers only stared as all of this happened. Finally, the Cores had stopped struggling and then, white cloth-like things began to surround it, covering it into two separate parts. This kept up until it was completely covered. The white cloth fell to the ground and shined in a bright light for a few moments. Everyone looked at it with interest until it all died down.
The white cloths then morphed into shapes, then slowly started to rise into the air. The soldiers' eyes all widened in shock when they saw that the shapes they had taken were...hands? Yes, two hands; one right and one left. The two had floated in the air for a few moments, until they started to move. The right hand had a calm composure, but the left hand's fingers had curled up a bit and it began to twitch. Everything had remained silent as the two appendages floated there until the right one moved forward to the soldiers. The two groups had all backed away from it as it did, frightened and cautious gleams in their eyes and prepared if it attacked. But, the hand only faced them, then, to their surprise, began to speak.
"Please, do not be alarmed." It said in a deep, wise voice. "It is I, the golden the mass that had been battling against the dark one. However, I was known as the Serenity Core." Upon hearing it's voice, the soldiers grew less tense as they looked back at it, their panic beginning to die down. Right then, Rusl had decided to step forward to face it.
"Um, excuse me," He said quietly. "But, what exactly are you? What had just happened right now?" The other groups of soldiers all nodded their heads at his question, for they wanted to know what the hell just happened as well.
The hand looked at all of them. "As I had said, I am the Serenity Core." He replied. "The other mass that I had faced against was known as the Master Core. As you all see, centuries ago, when this land was first created, the two of us had existed. All this time, we have been sealed inside the Aura Shard, the flat stone that you carry." The soldiers all turned to look at the Shard that the Lucario stilled held in it's paws. With that, the hand continued. "As I have said, we represent the negativity and positivity in this land; I, representing the positivity, and the Master Core representing the negativity. If a problem, conflict, or crisis were to arise, the Master Core would gain power. If the issues were solved, then I will gain power as well and balance it out, keeping the Master Core from growing and breaking free.
"If it were to ever be freed from the Shard, it would cause havoc and destruction to this land, destroying and killing everything in it's path. That is why it was very important all the conflicts were to be stopped and resolved, so I can gain strength and keep the Master Core from getting too strong. But, since all of the lands of Nintendo had discovered each other and the war raged for the many decades, the Master Core only grew stronger and stronger from the conflicts and tragedies. Since it wasn't coming to a closure in peace, I was not able to get any strength, so I couldn't bring balance in the Aura Shard. That is why Master Core had broken loose. If it were to ever have such power, my only resort is to come out as well and fight it off, sealing it with myself to keep it contained. There for, we exist in these two very beings. You may now refer to me, as Master Hand."
The hylian and Pokemon soldiers had all remained silent in awe as they listened to his words. Their eyes were wide and shone in wonder as they took in this information, and realized what they had almost unleashed to their land. Master Hand then continued to speak. "Now, you all mustn't worry about the Master Core being released. It is now sealed within me, so we are now one. However, if the Master Core were to ever be released again, my remains will wither away, but this passed down aura that I have spared; the remains of the Serenity Core, will take place and reseal it in the same method I have done." As if on cue, the golden orb that had been made earlier had floated into few again. It headed toward the soldiers then, in a bright light, seeped inside the Aura Shard. Once it did, a golden light glowed on one end of the stone, then died down.
"Since it is a smaller amount from myself, it will be much weaker than I once was." Master Hand explained. "So in order to be ready if a time of crisis were to erupt, it will take the form of any creature from any of these lands that are known for containing great power. This will help aid it in it's duty." He fell silent for a moment, many thoughts rushing through him. Finally, he faced the soldiers once again. "But you all must promise me, to end this war. The lands within this world of Nintendo must live in peace and harmony, not destroying each other until they fall. Because of that, everything in this land was almost destroyed. So please, come together as allies, and call a truce."
The soldiers remained silent, letting his words sink in. Now that they had thought about it, all this war, all this fighting and conflict, had almost destroyed them all. They had released the Master Core because of it all. If it weren't for the Serenity Core, everyone and everything in this world would have been killed. What are they even benefiting from all this fighting, anyway? Pain, agony, and death. Those are the only things that all this hostility between the lands had brought. It was pointless. It...It had to come to an end. Once and for all.
The hylian soldiers and the Pokemon region soldiers all looked to each other, then gave nods to one another. Rusl then turned back to Master Hand. "We will accept your request, Master Hand." He said with a smile. "We will call off this war, and all our homelands will come together in peace as allies."
Master Hand gave a hear-felt chuckle. "Very good."

After experiencing the great battle between the Master Core and the Serenity Core, watching the two seal themselves within each other, and learning the long legend of the Aura Shard, the two troops of soldiers, from both Hyrule and the Pokemon regions, had agreed to call off this war, and bring harmony back to the lands of Nintendo. After this had all been established, they had returned the Aura Shard into the crack in the earth, and covered it up to keep it secured. The two troops, along with the Hands, had set out to where the other battles of the lands were taking place, to put an end to them. They had explained the experience that they had witnessed, and told of what almost had happened to everyone and everything because of it. News soon spread through out the lands, and with that, the other lands had came to the same realization; that nothing positive had been benefited from this war.
It was soon called off, and all the various lands had came together in a truce, now accepting each other as allies. Because of this, Master Hand, along with his brother, Crazy Hand, had been pleased to see that harmony had returned to the world that they have been living under for so long. Many years later, many legendary heroes had been born, raised, and went on perilous adventures, saving their homes from the great villains that had arisen over time. They soon became very well known among the world of Nintendo, and in honor of all of this, and with the now neighboring lands, is when Master Hand had then decided to start the Smash Bros tournament.
It was held in the center of the world of Nintendo, where a mansion, now known as Smash Mansion, had been built to where these heroes now live. The tournaments take place in this area, and soon, the town of Smashville was built for residents form all over the lands could come and live and watch the tournaments. For years, many heroes joined as new Smashers, many have been cut, but they all stilled lived with each other at the mansion, all in peace. For this longest time, the Master Core and Serenity Core had also remained within the Hands, both being contained and never showed sign of being released. Because of these auras staying within them, it is where the Hands also get their magic and powers to perform spells and such things. If a crisis were to ever happen, though, the remaining Serenity Core would then be released to fight it off and seal the negative aura once more. But as what Master Hand had explained to the soldiers, all those years ago, it is impossible for the Master Core to ever be released again.
...
Unless...if a being with such great power, power even greater than the Hands, were to ever come and re-release it. That is possibly the only instant that the Master Core would break free again. But, no being with such power has been known to exist within the world of Nintendo, as far as history has told...

Bright sunlight shone through the large wreckage of the Smash Mansion. It was mid afternoon and the sun was high in the sky, shining it's light through the large land, that is now the combined worlds of Nintendo and reality. Ever since to two Mary Sues, known greatly as Sara and Ebony, had fuzed these worlds together, great destruction had came to the inhabitants of both these differentiating worlds, mostly to Smashville and the Smash Mansion. The entire said city was now in crumbled ruins, with not a single standing building left in sight. Because of this, all the remaining residents, the ones that had still kept their souls from the two enemy Pokemon, that had resided there were left with nothing. As of now, all the Smashers and Assist Trophies that had not went the well known heroes, the Smash Rescuers, had stayed behind to help aid the residents.
Footsteps tapped on the wooden floor as Zelda walked between the still-standing shelves of the mansion's library. Because of the combination of the worlds, large portions of the mansion had been torn down as well, and many things had gone missing from it within the process. The hylian princess continued to make her way through, holding many books in her hands. She and some of the other Smashers were put in charge, by Master Hand, to check the inventory to see what they had left in the mansion, and what had gone missing.
Zelda continued to walk through the obliterated library until she finally reached the front. Placing the stack of books on the front desk, she went over the list of many books that were there to see what else they needed. As she did, she narrowed her eyes when she spotted the name of one, particular book.
"Um, Robin!" She called out. At the sound of his name, the white-haired tactician stepped out from behind one of the shelves, looking toward the brunette princess.
"Yes, Zelda?" He replied.
"Have you seen the book, 'Nintendo Historia'?" Zelda asked, looking back at the list.
Robin thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm afraid I haven't. I've searched the library, but I haven't seen it. It's probably one of the books that got lost from the mansion in the process of the worlds combining." After hearing his response, Zelda narrowed her eyes and pouted.
"That's too bad." She said, picking up her stacks of books to put them back in their respective places. "I've been wanting to read that for a long time, but I've never got the chance to."

The darkness of Subspace stretched all around. It was now in the time before the final battle between Sara, Ebony, Satan, Josh, and the Smash Rescuers and the Smashers. Farther off, Sara and Josh stood and watched the destruction of the worlds through the dark orbs. As they did so, a Giratina, who we know as Satan, turned and flew over to where a Sneasle was sitting farther off. She had her eyes lowered to the ground and was appearing to be reading something.
"So, Ebony." Satan said as he approached her. "About your six-phase plane to conqer; we've completed phases one and two. But, I believe we haven't discussed phase three yet. How exactly are going to do that?"
The Sneasle, Ebony, kept her eyes on the book. After a couple seconds, she closed it in her claws, revealing the words "Nintendo Historia" on the cover. Slowly, she turned her head to face the Giratina, her green eyes shining and a smirk appearing on her face. "Ya wanna know what we're gonna do for phase three?" She asked quietly, then chuckled, holding up the book. "I believe I just found you answer."
...Holy...shit...
Two hours and over 5,000 words written! 5,000! Damn, this was longer than "Fallen Revenge's" prologue!
So, um, yeah. This is what I came up with, and I like I said, I love the concept! I'm not sure if I messed up anything, regarding the whole fan-made history and explanation to Nintendo, Smash Bros, and all that, but if I did, I don't think I really care at the given moment. I know this is gonna be a good story!
Also, for those who don't know, the italic words that was explaining the whole thing was supposed to be the words that were written in the "Nintendo Historia" book, which is, how Ebony found out about the Master Core, and all.
Thank you all for reading! I hope you're interested so far, and the first chapter will be up soon! See ya!
