All of the smashers were gathered in the mansion's auditorium.
"What's taking him so long?", Bowser asked loudly,"I don't have time to waste sitting around here, I have things to do!"
It was true, they had been sitting here twenty minutes after Master hand called them for a special announcement.
"You could do with more patients", Lucario replied.
"You trying to start something you blue mutt?", Bowser yelled, blowing smoke from his nose.
Before things got out of hand however they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Master hand on the stage.
"I do apologize for my tardiness but there was an... incident... involving my dear brother and some sugar".
A collective shudder ran through out the crowd.
"Any way, as you all know in preparation for our next tournament there have been a number of new stages, music, items and even new smashers added to our roster", he said this while gesturing to the nearest newcomer, Wii fit trainer, whose porcelain white skin blushed a shade of pink at becoming a center of attention.
"However I am also adding an entirely new feature!", Master hand yelled in his announcer voice,"Please look underneath your chairs.
All of the smashers looked under their assigned chairs and pulled out a small while box with their universe's emblem on the front. Sonic upon opening the box found what appeared to be a much smaller version of his trophy self.
"Another trophy?", he thought to himself and similar thoughts ran through the crowd. As if reading their minds Master hand said," Tap the base".
Shrugging, Sonic did just that and was surprised when a white light enveloped the figurine. Once the light faded the figurine turned to face him," Squee?"
"Ahh!", Sonic let out an 'extremely manly' scream and dropped the now very alive figurine on his lap. Thankfully several other smashers had the same reaction so no one heard him and he was spared the shame.
"Chi, chi, chi!"
Well not all the shame, the little Sonic was rolling around on his lap laughing.
"These are no ordinary trophies they are what I call Amiibos, allow me to explain."
"While in this dimension your bodies give off a special energy signature that when you are rendered incapable of battle your bodies revert to a trophy state to prevent further injury", he started,"I was regulating this energy recently when I discovered a strange influx in all of your signatures".
" I had no idea why it had happened or what it would do so I drained the extra energy and concentrated it into single points intending to find a way to dispose of it later. Unexpectedly these energies gained a solid form as the trophies you see before and in a way they are like tangible portions of your own soul and are completely sentient, so you better take good care of them", he ended his serious explanation with an overly cheery tone.
"Wait what!", several smashers said at once, not completely understanding his vague explanation and the new responsibility of having themselves as a pet.
"As they were made from your energy they have your memories and personalities to a degree and when in battle they will grow to your size and have your abilities however they were still only made from a small part so they have no idea how to use their power or take care of themselves. But they will learn from watching you and with some proper care they will become the mighty warriors they are destined to be", and with that final note Master hand teleported away before they could ask any other questions.
"Oh well", Sonic thought while gently picking up the little version of him who cheered a little," What could go wrong?"
