Hello, this is my first smash Bros fanfiction, I do not own any of the characters, all respective properties belong to Nintendo, Rare, Sega, Capcom, Square Enix, and Konami.
The super smash Bros tournament was filled with crazy things, pink puffballs, plumbers who don't actually do any plumbing, super-enhanced soldiers, and an alien fox that we will pay our attention to.
His name was Fox McCloud (very creative indeed) and he was the greatest pilot in the entire super smash Bros series. He was also one of the original twelve that founded the tournament, was a tough fighter, and was quick on his feet. However, he was always bugged by one particular person, his rival, Samus Aran.
Even though he was tough himself, Samus almost seemed untouchable. She wore the most advanced suit he had ever seen, was insanely strong, fast, and agile. She could power through some of the most powerful attacks in the series from fighter or not and still keep on the fight. She was also the deadliest bounty hunter in smash history. Despite these attributes, she was secluded from the others and was mostly training. And while the smashers got along alright, they never really liked each other, this includes Fox and Samus.
No matter what he did, she did better by a large margin, she was always one step ahead of him, and would often tease him about it since he always claimed he would beat her, but he never did. Some smashers like Sonic and Roy soon teased him of liking her, sad part was, he did.
However, when they first met, she hid her identity and never spoke much. She nearly won the tournament, but lost to Captain Falcon, another rival(and admirer). She only lost during the Melee tournament because she went up against Marth who could counter her and made top ten. Fox only made it to the top because his best friend Falco helped him out and the both nearly lost to the Mario Bros.
And then it happened on day of the Brawl tournament...
(Flashback)
Itwas lunchtime and the smashers were getting their food. Fox had sat next to Falco as they watched the others get their food. Samus was about to get a piece of meatloaf when all of the sudden, Peach pushed her over, on purpose. She,however, tried to act dumb about it.
"Oops" was all she said before she started to giggle evilly.
"Hey!" Samus said, "apologize for that!"
"Now why would I apologize to an old geezer like you" was Peach's reply.
"What did you say?" Samus said angrily, crushing the cup that was in her metallic hand.
"You heard me, no girl would ever want you since your all to yourself and have the worst attitude. I mean, why doesn't any girl here ask you out, Oh wait! That's right, because their all jealous of me and my looks, and they can't focus on you, not that they would any way."
"Man, this is going down real!" was all Falco could say.
Samus was fuming at this point, and then threatened Peach with her metallic voice (the one people only heard)," say that again".
"Oh, you want to hear it again, then suit yourself. You're ugly...oooff!" was all she could muster after Samus kicked her in the stomach.
"What's-a going on-a here!" was what Peach's boyfriend and hero, Mario exclaimed.
"He attacked me!" Peach lied.
"She was the first to use physical contact!" Samus exclaimed, but Mario didn't care if it was true or not, Peach was hurt and that was all that mattered to him.
"Hiya!" Mario yelled as he attacked Samus, but Samus dodge and kicked him away.
"I'm the innocent one! she yelled.
"Doesn't matter" Ike said, coming up out of nowhere, " you hurt a beautiful woman and must pay, whether innocent or guilty."(He was obviously a man who liked women alot).
Ike then uppercuted Samus's helmet straight off sending her into a limbo-like position where they could not see her face.
"Oh my word!" was all that Ness could shout, everyone else was just watching.
Ike then began to chuckle,"Guess you can't take a hit, shame you hit a woman."
That's when she came up and everyone saw, shocked and stunned(Ike the most). For the first time, they found out Samus was a female.
She glared at Ike,"So did you" was her response.
Ike began then to blush and tried to flirt with her,"YOU'RE A WOMAN, I didn't know, but hey... maybe we can go out sometime?"
"Hmm, no!" Ike then felt a pain in his side a boot kicked him hard.
Samus then got her food and left, then everybody talked about her.
"I didn't know she was a woman!" Peach exclaimed.
"She's a tough fighter, and to think that she wasn't male!" Zelda said.
"Mama Mia" was all Luigi could say.
"Woah! she's hot!" Snake said.
"Tell me about it!" Captain Falcon then continued.
"She would be perfect for me!" Wolf said to himself.
Meanwhile all Fox could think about was how beautiful she was,"Wow! I have never seen such beauty in all my life!" From that point on, Fox was determined to get to out with her.
However, there were several problems. First was their rivalry, although Fox wanted to be with her, he thought she still hated him like she did before, and it didn't help he acted the same way even after finding out. He thought he would impress her by being tough and challenging her every time. But every time he tried, he failed. He was starting to wonder why she wouldn't notice him, he thought he was being obvious enough.
Second, even though he was a fan favorite, he was still one of the weakest fighters in the tournament, she was one of the best fighters in every tournament. Fox trained hard to get higher up on the power board, but it didn't seem to work. It also didn't help that Master Hand stated that some fighters like Mario, Luigi, Samus, and Ness's power was deliberately held back or else they be too powerful. How on Earth could he ever impress her if she was in a total other playing field of power?
Third was his species, he knew this would a big factor considering all the other male fighters after her. They were all human, he was an alien fox, he thought that she would never consider him because of this.
Fourth was that every other male was after her, and those that weren't like Mario and Falco, just didn't care. Falco even stated he hated Samus so much, and Fox was worried he would lose his best friend over liking a girl he hates, so he just went along and acted like he hated Samus.
And finally, there was already someone who seemed to catch her eye. It started when the fourth tournament happened, characters like Little Mac tried to ask her out because he thought she would like his muscles, however, she declined. This did not stop him from talking to the other veteran smashers(Brawl veterans who were cut still remained to watch).
Then late fighters showed up, it first started getting serious when Mewtwo showed up...
(Flashback)
Samus in her zero-suit was walking by and Mewtwo noticed her(he couldn't sense she was a female in Melee).
"Who's that lovely lady?" he asked his fellow villain smashers.
"That's Samus." replied Ganondorf (who didn't care about Samus's looks).
"What!" Mewtwo exclaimed, then looked over and smiled before teleporting in front of her. "Hello beautiful" Mewtwo purred.
"What do you want?" Samus asked.
"How about being with a legendary?" Mewtwo asked with a wicked smile. All he received was a kick to where it truly hurts the most, leaving him immobile for a while.
Then a new Challenger arrived, Ryu(see what I did there). All the males were concerned when Samus was interested in what Ryu could do, but eventually they just were established as friends. Fox was relieved, there was no one that caught her eye.
Then he showed up.
It was the final day where the last three combatants came to the tournament and Master Hand wanted to introduce them personally.
"Alright!" he bellowed, "time for our fisrt contestant, they are from the world of Fire Emblem..."
"Boo!", was heard over most of the smashers.
"SHUT UP!" Master Hand boomed,"They wield a sword that acts like a chainsaw and can turn into dragons...", this got the smashers to listen up,"Here's Corrin and Kamuie!" Master Hand shouted as the male and female sword wielders stepped up. The Fire Emblem group was heard cheering loudly for their arrival.
"Next up, he's from a long time company rival ready to duke it out with us, from Final Fantasy VII, here's the super-soldier Cloud Strife!"
Everyone went into shock when he showed up, sporting off in his advent children costume(my favorite costume for him), but most terrified of him was Link.
"Gulp" was all Link could say as Cloud walked up to him. Smiling, Cloud whispered into his ear,"Ready for round two?".
"And finally,", Master Hand shouted,"from an extremely unsuspected amount of votes, the Umbran witch herself, Bayonetta!". Now it was Pit's turn to gulp.
After the smashers greeted each other, Master Hand made an announcement. "Since there are new fighters here, we will have to make new teams!".
"What!" the smashers that were there earlier exclaimed.
"Yep,teams are to consist of 2-4 members,now get busy!"
"You heard him sucka's!", Crazy Hand shouted, "Now start choosing while I go get myself stupidly drunk!"
"Ugh", was all Master Hand said, understandable why.
As the groups were being formed, Fox discussed with Falco who should be on their team.
"Not Captain Falcon, he's to cocky," Falco stated(ironically),"and no way are we partnering with pokemon!"
"Hmm, well, how about Zss, she could definitely help our already pathetic score."
Falco looked betrayed for a moment, but then considered how high she was with Shiek earlier in the tournament. Unable to take another lost, he finally agreed. "Fine, but for our sakes, not hers."
"Alright, I'll ask her." Fox said as he got up to ask Samus to join their team.
"This will be it, I can finally ask her out and get to be with her!" Fox thought as he went up. When he got to her, he saw her talking to Mario, who he had no worry because he already teamed up with Link, Pikachu, and Kirby.
Mario then greeted him,"Hello Fox, we were just-a talking to some of the new-a comers."
"Really?" Fox asked.
"Yes!, Samus here has already agreed to fighting with-a Bayonetta and Cloud as Zss!"
Fox's world then crashed, his smile he once had had now turned upside down and his ears lay flat.
"Yes, you should meet them!" Samus said," This is Bayonetta and this is Cloud."
"Pleased to meet you cutie." Bayonetta said.
"Hello" was all that Cloud said.
Fox stood there for a moment before finally speaking. "Charmed" was what he said very coldly and sharply.
"Fox!" Mario and Samus exclaimed, "there's no need to be-a rude!"
"Treat the new commors with respect!"
"I'm sorry.." Fox grumbled. Bayonetta and Cloud looked that they took offense, but Bayonetta then took control again.
"It's okay love, just don't do it again."
"So Cloud, you were part of a soldier program?" Samus asked.
"Yes I was" he replied. Then Fox and Mario saw something they never see Samus do, she blushed and twirled with her hair.
Fox then realized what had happened, Samus had taken a liking to Cloud, and he knew he would have to fight to get her from him.
However, he wasn't prepared for what was in store for him.
Thanks for reading my first chapter of my first smash bros fanfiction, don't worry, more chapters are on the way. I'm planning on doing a four or five part series on smash called "The Fall of Smash". Please review and ask me what you found bothering so I can improve for you, Thanks!
