Hey people. Super smash bros, blah, blah, blah. SSB x Soul Calibur crossover, yada, yada, yada. during brawl, etc, etc, etc. I'm sure you've probably already got the idea.

One thing I would like to know is more info is on Snake, since I've never played a MGS game before, (don't have a ps2 and I'm too lazy to get the ps1 or Gamecube games) so if anyone can give me some info on him and his background, that'd be appreciated.

Disclaimers: Just about everything is owned by Nintendo or (in Snake's case) Konami.

Link had just got off Epona in the middle of Hyrule fields to take a break. He's been through so much lately. He saved Hyrule from a monster by traveling back and forth through time, stopped the moon from crashing on Termina, and just got back from another world to help destroy an evil sword that absorbed people's souls. The least he deserved was a day off from all he's been through.

Of course, that was what he hoped.

Little did Link know, he was being watched by a certain gloved hand. It was large, and was floating in the air. Also, it had a mind of its own.

Hmm, should I surprise him? Or should I sneak up behind him? The hand thought to itself. Then, it had an idea. Oh, that's a good idea.

Link had just finished his break when he thought he heard something behind him, but when he turned around, there was no one. Then again, why would there be someone nearby? Then he heard something again, but of course, when he turned around again, saw nothing.

Am I just imaging things? He thought to himself. Just then, he saw a small ball rolled below him and then all of a sudden, multicolored smoke began to come out of the ball. Link drew his weapons, preparing for an attack. An ambush...but from where? And by who? Just then, he heard a voice, one that he recognized, and sighed with relief. "Congratulations!"

The giant hand appeared out of the smoke, and let off dozens of fireworks, and then tried to shake Link's hand. (which was nearly impossible, since Master Hand was a giant floating hand) "Link, great to see you again! Haven't seen you since the last tournament and the accident with the Giga Bowser!" Link smiled at that. "I seemed to recall you saying that the tournament needed more, I believe you said, fire, then crazy hand-"

"Yes, well, let try to put that behind us, shall we" Master Hand quickly changing the subject. "Anyway, I've finally decided to start the next tournament, and I want you and Zelda to participate! I've already decided on Mario and Kirby and a few others coming back, and a few newcomers along the way! I even have a few new items and stages I want you guys to test out! That smoke ball I used is one such example. So, what do you say? Ready for another go?"

At this however, Link smiled sadly and shook his head. "Sorry Master Hand, but no."

At hearing this, Master Hand was in shock. Link saying no? But he was one of the original 12 participates from the first tournament! How could he say no? Not to mention he was so eager before. What happen to him? "NO!? But why!? I thought you enjoyed the tournaments! I mean, you were so eager last time! Why no-"

"I have my reasons Master Hand. I'm sorry."

Master Hand was just shocked. Who was he going to get to replace Link!? And what if the other participants didn't want to come along also!? He just couldn't take it.

Link of course saw this. "Listen, it's nothing personal, but I've just been through a lot lately. I just want to relax for once after what I've been through. I hope you can understand."

Master Hand shook his head (or where his head would've been) and turned away. With Link gone, who was he going to get to take his place? He doubted Y. Link would want to come along also since he was more or less the same person, so who? Then it hit him.

I know who to bring…He then disappeared to go see if HE would participate. After all, who else to replace Link than…Link.

Sigh…there's the first chapter. Yes, I know it's not that long, and it's not very good, but please review and tell me how you think. I'll probably edit later anyway. And sorry if I seemed mad at the top. I've just been through a lot of stress lately.
