A.N -
Whoa, it's my first and probably only, fanfiction!
I am writing this story assuming that we all know quite a bit about the Smash Bros. (or at least the basics, it doesn't really bother me). I'm not the best writer so don't expect too much.
- Please note -
I may outright forget a few of the Smash cast, so if that happens just remind in a review or something. If you have something bad to say make it constructive! Constructive criticism is well received.
Chapter 1 - The Smash Ball
Bored…
Ike lay on his bed, admittedly rather bored, the smash tourney had finished, (He finished 3rd only being beaten by Samus and Pit, 1st and 2nd respectively) and honestly there was nothing to do. Apart from training- but even Ike had to admit training all day everyday gets a tad bit repetitive.
He might as well surf the internet, it had been awhile since he used his laptop, had to be used some time. Ike sat up, he was always mystified by this form of modern technology, supposedly he could not bring this to his universe as it would upset the balance of reality... To his disappointment.
"Yo" The familiar, slightly high-pitched voice of Ike's roommate entered the room.
A simple hand motion was Ike's reply,
Link sighed, "Another dull day and another bored Ike…"
"..." Ike was still getting used to Link's voice, he had only began talking quite recently- close to the end of the tournament.
Ike turned to get a better look at his tunic wearing comrade, "And you're not?" Link looked as if he was going to say something in denial, but he gave up on his response. Link casually flopped and spun on the comfy looking computer chair. Ike had not managed to get to his laptop.
"Touche'." The two sat there in awkward silence for what seemed like an hour, not that it mattered, it wasted time. "So… You wanna' go train?"
Ike gave Link a quizzical, sarcastic look which screamed 'guess what I've been doing?'
"Ah…" The awkward silence continued. Ike and Link had many an awkward silence, I guess that's what made them good friends… Or it's the fact that they were both moderately silent individuals and both were proficient sword wielders.
But before the awkward silence could become more awkward another entity dived into the bedroom, Ike's third roommate. Each room had 3 members so he was not too surprised to hear the British mannerisms of Shulk the Monado wielder, "Guys, guys! Big news!"
Ike deadpanned, "'Big' as in irrelevant? Or 'big' as in it's big enough for my sword to be swung at?"
"Real funny, but I mean it. I heard Mario talking about it, something about 'improving the tournament'."
"Interesting… The tournament's already finished so I have no idea what they want to do..." Link scratched his ear, "I thi-" a sudden boom emanated from the speakers fitted in the corner of every room.
"ALL SMASHERS TO THE MAIN AUDITORIUM." The ethereal voice of a disembodied hand had spoke.
It seems like Master had accidentally raised the speaker volumes or Crazy was playing a joke, because the voice of Master hand was comparable to a sonic boom.
Ike sweatdropped, "Convenient..." He seemed unfazed by the noise and only considered the convenience of the situation.
Shulk had smothered his ears in his hands in preparation of Master Hand, he had seen the future after all. Ike continued to not care, Link was not as lucky. "Agh! My eye!" It would seem that Link had managed to jab himself in the eye.
"We better go." Ike and Shulk stared at the writhing Hylian.
"My eyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"What should we do with him?"
"Just… Fine, i'll drag him." Ike grabbed Link's iron boot.
Transition...
The three swordsmen eventually made it, albeit with some screaming from the tunic clad elf. The three swordsman had arrived about last, the smashers spoke quietly between each other in eager anticipation of what was to come. Some more ecstatic than others, namely the kid smashers. A moment later a left and right hand floated through into the auditorium's stagelight.
"Now smashers, you may be wondering why I-"
"We." Crazy Hand interjected, in a suspiciously calm voice, "APPLES!" There's the Crazy Hand we all know and love,
"Why WE, have called you here…" He waited for some sort of response, everyone stared... "Anyway, THIS is why!" Master Hand clicked, Crazy Hand twitched, a second passed and Master Hand twiddled a familiar looking ball in his hands. Several smashers stared in confusion, several were
unamused. Luigi spoke up,
"So- What is the-a smash ball for?" Crazy Hand through an index finger at the green plumber.
"GreAt qUEstiOn! We wILL stArt with WORld domI-" Master Hand quickly pushed him aside,
"Quiet you! Sorry Luigi, the proper answer to that question is that I, with the help of some other smashers, have modified the one and only SMASH BALL!" A couple of other smashers stood up,
Samus, Metaknight, Ganondorf, Palutena, ROB and both Robins (M&F).
Ike assumed that these were Master Hand's assistants, people skilled in technology and magic. Surprisingly enough, Snake was nowhere to be seen, then again he was no good with computers.
Samus's spoke first. "I'll explain."
She brought out a remote, and a screen popped up at the auditorium's front, showing a picture of the smashers mentioned, (including Master and Crazy Hand) standing around a large table… ROB didn't seem to be present, "ROB had to have taken the pictures with his eyes." Ike thought.
"Our little group has been deliberating and modifying our favourite item, the smash ball." She clicked and the scenes moved to a picture of a smash ball. Weird... It looked smaller...
"Now as we all know, this is our Regular Smash Ball." She clicked again, another smash ball? No, the smashers were more perceptive than that. It appeared slightly different - somewhat larger and a touch more fluorescent.
Samus continued, "We have surmised that our final smashes have become a bit 'overrated', a debatable topic but we'll talk about it later. Basically we have modified the original smash ball, and 'created' a new smash ball." Ganondorf walked forward.
"We have decreased the power of the original smash ball, visible in it's decrease in size. The new smash ball, which for now we will be calling the True Smash Ball, gives birth to a new power, to a True Final Smash." Ganondorf grinned, laughed maniacally and clenched his fist, darkness enveloped his hand. "Also do not worry, the regular final smashes will still be useful, simply, 'less practical'."
Marth put his hand under his chin, "So what use will these 'True Final Smashes' have upon our battle? How exactly will we implement this new variable?."
Metaknight answered this one, "Well, we will make it that each smasher will have two individual final smashes, the problem comes when we have to figure out what final smashes and true final smashes each character will have…" He sighed "It may take quite a bit of time…"
ROB noted."IT IS LIKELY THE ORIGINAL FINAL SMASHES MAY CHANGE OR EVEN REMAIN THE SAME TO FIT THE 'LIMITATIONS' OF THE ORIGINAL SMASH BALL. WHILST THE TRUE FINAL SMASHES WILL BE EXTREMELY POWERFUL ABSOLUTE KO ATTACKS."
Palutena giggled and sweatdropped at the same time "And we haven't exactly tested the two smash balls yet, so yeah…" This made almost all the smashers reel back in terror, testing and Palutena were not two words many people liked in the same sentence, Pit new this all too well, he cringed. The two Robins spoke in perfect unison.
"So is anyone up for testing the new ball? We bet it will be fun, and that no one will die, we have the smash barrier after all." Though their voices did not sound so certain.
Out of all the people to stand up, a pink puffball 'stood' as much as it's feet could allow, an audible "POYO" came from Kirby, "I'll do it, how bad could it be?" The puffball was basically indestructible anyway, so not too many smashers were worried.
"Fabulous!" Master Hand did a thumbs up, "Our first volunteer! Let's get this started shall we?"
