As Mayor, Charles has successfully changed this village into a thriving home for his numerous friends. Stores are becoming profitable and the villagers share a personal community instilled with trust and harmony.

"Hi there Charles!" Curly rang out, walking down the street.

"Sup Charles. How things flyin?" Jacques hollered.

"Things are as fine as ever! Have a great day!" Charles responded. Charles was one of the most well liked in the town, not just because he is the mayor, but because he treats everyone with such friendly demeanor.

"Charles!' Isabelle, Charles' cheery secretary came to him with her usual clipboard, 'Oh Charles the Cherry Blossom festival was a grand success! How did you think of such a brilliant idea?"

"Well I was surprised their wasn't one in the first place. You guys have a lot of them here"

"Well the last mayor before was really neglective towards the town and was quite corrupt. Then you came along and changed things for the better."

Charles was a little flattered. "Heh, we'll the moment I stepped out of that train you guys just placed me on the job. But..."

Isabelle tilted her cute head. "Huh?"

"But I'm glad I was chosen to be mayor. Meeting all those friendly folks, making all those friends. This place really has changed since I first showed up. Changed into something I can be myself while feeling safe and sound. Somewhere I belong."

"Oh Charlie." The dog-girl secretary looked longingly at the man who had changed this unknown place into a thriving community full of happy villagers. Smashville is the place to be when a person wants to get away from it all. In this world, their is no need for defense and and arms, unlike the other known areas of the realm, Amiibo. This one of the few places to kick back and enjoy life with all the friends you can want. That's when Isabelle broke out of her daydream of hilarious proportions. "Oh I just remembered. Tom wanted to meet you at the center for a big surprise!"

"Hmm, a surprise eh?" The mayor's attention was grasped. "Well isn't that interesting, is that all?"

"Mmhmm, that's all I can say. Don't want to spoil too much for you."

Charles smiled at his secretary, leaning a little too close for Isabelle's comfort. "Come now, I could use a bit more spoiling. Huh, well? Come on tell me."

Isabelle turned a shade of Octorock red, quivering in Charles closeness. "S-s-sorry, umm, I gave Nook my word I wouldn't tell more than that. I-I'm sorry Charles I have to, um, do some errands, g-good night!" She turned away, hugging her clipboard close to her, trying to hide the obvious blush as she walked towards a random direction.

Charles looked on, shaking his head at his awkward secretary. " Heh, I wonder if she realizes the town hall is in the other direction?" He turned around and went on with the rest of the day, fulfilling other jobs around town. [end BGM]

Later that day when things were starting to get dark, Charles was in his home catching up on his reading when something was bugging him at the back of his mind. It was something important and he knew it. It was something about Isabelle, and a surprise somewhere. It had to do with Tom Nook and the community center and... "oh... Oh... OH!"

Isabelle looked through the doors of the community center, wondering where the guest of honor is. Much of the inhabitants of this season all attend a festive scene in the hall, awaiting the beloved mayor of their town.

Tom Nook walks over to Isabelle. "Where could he be? You didn't tell him what we were doing here did you?"

"No. I told him what you told me to tell him, nothing more."

" He didn't psyche you into revealing more did he?"

Isabelle remembered how close Charles got to her when she informed him of the surprise, showing a small blush. "No, no he didn't. He'll be here just you wait."

"Well it's been almost half an hour and look," Tom Nook gestured to the other guests, who have already considered leaving the center early. "The patience level in here is sharply dwindling."

Isabelle looks out again then something catches her eye. "*Gasp* Everyone, get into your places! He's coming!" As soon as that is heard, the guests all go to hiding with the lights turned off. Isabelle goes into her place, hiding amongst the tables and decorations waiting for the guest of honor. It's only a moment of more silence before someone enters the center, going through the halls, and comes to the party rooms doors. The doors open, letting Charles into the dark, prompting him to reach for the light switch when... "SURPRISE!"

Everyone in there was in an uproar, surprising Charles but also delighting him. "Ah, guys, you didn't have to."

"Oh well in that case let's all just nab as much treats as we can and hi-tail it outta here!" Joked DJ K.K..

"No frappin way! You got DJ K.K. to perform! Let's get this party started!" All the partiers let loose, dancing and socializing. It certainly wasn't big enough to rival the parties of the other worlds, large and unpredictable. Any-which-way, erverything was going fine, Kaitlin was heading a game of Pin-tha-tail-on-de-Waluigi, Brewster was chugging down a keg of iced coffee, and Wendell drew nice portraits of the scene.

Meanwhile, Digby, Nook, Alfonso, and Isabelle sat at table enjoying punch and a pile of food between them. "Well this is a fine how-de-do. To celebrate the day Charles came to be our wondrous mayor, yes yes."

Digby nods. "He certainly is a passionate soul to have accepted us."

"And loyal too." Alfonso chipped in, pausing from his great feast, then resuming.

Digby saw his twin sister leering in the direction that Charles was conversing in, with a couple of friends. "Well, well. Come now, your never going to get anywhere like this sis."

Isabelle returns to reality. "Huh? Whatever could you mean?"

"Oh nonsense. We all saw you undress him with your eyes. It's best to act, than remain idle." Tom Nook got involved when he suggested such.

"I wasn't... that's not it at all! I was... taking a passing glance." Isabelle defended.

Alfonso looked up from his food pile again. "Yeah for minutes."

"Shut up!" A blush was really obvious on her face now.

Digby smiled at Isabelle's reaction. " Calm down. Why don't you ask him to dance? It's not too much is it?"

"I don't know Digby. I don't want to be a bother, 'sides he looks rather busy."

"Not for long! Go on girl, go get 'em!"

After thinking it over and with the encouragement, Isabelle got up from her seat and walked over to where Charles was done conversing with Gracie, Rosie, Punchy, and Pierce. She knew their was no turning back when the mayor saw her approaching.

"Hey their bashful boo, some party huh?" Isabelle was all dolled up in a fashionable dress (not too formal but enough to look presentable) making her way too adorable for her own good, yet she still felt shy around Charles.

"Well only for the best mayor we know." She smiled while tilting her head at him.

Charles was both surprised and flattered by his secretary's comment, really thankful for having such great friends. "Aw, for reals? That's sweet. That just won you something really special for the night." Isabelle felt a slight tint of pink come upon her face on what he said. "I bet you were looking for a dance wit the head honcho now were you?" He held out a hand for her to take, indicating the invitation to dance.

Isabelle felt her heart skip a beat as her desire finally came to her. She looked at him for a second then gratefully received his hand. The pair joined the other villagers grooving on the dance floor and after a moments notice, a slow song was to be played. Pairs were made joining Charles and Isabelle in a close, almost romantic, air in the dance.

However on the sidelines, Digby and the other two at their table were happily watching Isabelle have a great time with their mayor. Things took a turn for the worst when the slow song came on and Digby saw his sister hook up with Charles was when his sibling protectiveness kicked in, turning his joyful smile into an uneasy frown. Seeing his sister so close to him was a little awkward, but seeing the mayor even laying a hand on her really drew the line. It got him riled up so much that if Tom Nook or Alfonso hadn't seen his malicious glare and caught on to who was receiving it, resulting in them holding Digby back, Charles would've been seriously maimed by an overprotective brother. (Despite him urging his sister to go to him)

Even with these events happening, neither Charles nor Isabelle had noticed, more focused on their dance than anyone that would be watching them. They almost seem lost in their own world, especially Isabelle, having the time of her life during this brief movement. "How are things on your side?" Charles' question got Isabelle out of the moment and into a conversation with him.

"Well, I could say heavenly," Isabelle stated, her voice gradually hushing, "but that would be an understatement."

Charles felt a bit flattered. " Well that's sweet. But you know, you guys really outdid yourselves on this." He looked around at the extravagant ribbons, balloons, and banners celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Charles' arrival in Smashville. It was all so vibrant and colorful, so much it almost put all the joyous events he helped put together to shame. "A bit much, even for little 'ol me."

"Nothings too good for our beloved mayor." She rested her head on his shoulder. As mayor, it was his job to ensure that everyone in town is happy, and his secretary was no exception. Everything at that moment, from the heartwarming gratitude party, to the awesome friends who planned it out for him, was as good as it could ever get. Nothing made Charles feel so welcome than being in Smashville where he did everything in his power to provide a safe and joyful environment for the townsfolk who came and befriended him there.

It had gotten pretty late in the evening, resulting in the departure of the party guests. Charles was already at his house getting ready to lay on his comfy bed. He looked back to when the party had come to an end and everyone had left to their homes, save for Charles and a few stragglers who were the last to leave. Cyrus and Reese said their farewells then Tom Nook followed their example (but not without adding in a certain debt Charles had to pay off, even if he paid it off their was always something else to pay). Finally it was time to say good night to Isabelle and Digby. He couldn't help but remember her give a cute wave towards him, only suddenly realizing his face felt a bit warm for some reason.

Shaking off that feeling, he resumed his favorite hobby, reading, back on his bed with a nearby light. The book he chose was a story about a legend of how a band of heroes and villains united to save their world from a powerful outside foe. He's already read it twice before, but it is one of his favorite stories filled with everything a good story would have. Action, adventure, drama, suspense, and friendship. Charles was intent in his reading when a distressing sound invaded his senses. It was overpowering, it forced him to focus on the noise. The distant sounds formed to screams for help, something Charles could not ignore. After looking out his window, he saw that Main Street was spewing smoke and had the glow of fire reflecting off the sky. Charles went out of his home, running as fast as he could over to the cries of distress, growing louder, the closer he ran to Main Street.

[play Liberi Fatali] The Main Street area of Smashville, as expansive as it's become, was a smoldering mess of what it used to be. Many of the stores, homes, and businesses were demolished, with many villagers fleeing for their lives. Charles entered the area, speechless on the wreckage of the town he helped establish. Smoke rose from the distance where numerous fires blazed the town. He looked around, at his fleeing friends. Some villagers were seriously injured, some were previously dug out of debris, whereas some other ones were being attended to to be sure they are still alive. Charles looked out to the distance, where more crashing noises were heard.

What he saw was beyond belief. Swinging a massive sword was a colossal knight, blackened armor and towering above all else. It seemed the huge warrior is behind the carnage of this incident. Charles stared at the monster responsible for the atrocities he heard his name be called out. "Charles!" He turned his head towed the direction of the sound, seeing Isabelle and several other villagers coming over some debris. Looking back at the armored goliath, Booker and Copper we're keeping their distance while also trying to lead it away from the escaping villagers.

"Alright you. For the last time, stand down and put down your arms and maybe you will be given a slight moderation on your sentence." Copper yelled at the knight. The knight did not even seem to acknowledge the warning and continued on its rampage without a word. The dog ran back to where his partner, fellow officer Booker, hid just as scared as he was.

"It's certainly not taking the situation so seriously is it." Booker said to Copper. "What now?"

" We have no choice. Looks like we have to use force." He pulled out his gun from its holster. "Didn't think we'd ever have to use these." Booker followed his actions. Both had a hard time loading the firearms, indicating how rarely they've ever had to use actual weapons in their time of enforcement.

"So what,? How are we going to do this? We can't stand against that thing!"

Copper looked at his weapon. "We ought to buy everyone else some time, just so they can get outta here."

"And what about us?!" Booker was quite worried.

"We do what we're supposed to do," Copper looked at him, "I was always prepared to defend the innocent at the furthest notice. Even if it took an eternity for such a day, I would've rather never have to have all these good people be put into such a situation. But since it's that time, I'm willing to put everything on the line now. Are you with me or not?"

Filled with a newfound confidence of Coppers valiance, Booker readied himself to sacrifice his life to defend the villagers of this catastrophe. " So what's the gameplan?"

He cocked his pistol. "Shoot to kill."

Both police officers rushed out and pointed their firearms at the knight running rampant across town. The duo opened fire upon the giant who at first did not notice the bullets deflecting off it's armor. Unfortunately, it did pay attention to their attacks, and looked down upon the defenders. The dogs were paralyzed by the malevolent gaze of the giant that glared down upon them in annoyance ( not even acknowledgement, but more of how one would notice a biting ant). The knight pulled back his sword and swung toward the pair. Thankfully he swung the side of the blade, not the edge, making the officers fly to the skies, becoming stars. Charles was in state of both shock and anger at the aggressor and it actions.

"Charles! Come on , we have to leave!" Charles almost forgot about his friends who we're waiting for him to join them. The knights arsenal apparently also had a large gun that fired beams of death energy. Charles used the opportunity to run toward his friends, however he saw that they saw something that terrified them from above. It just so happened that the knight had jumped over towards where Charles was heading. It stood right over Charles, looking down on him. He couldn't move, as the stare from the being was forcing him to remain where he was.

The great knight shifted his gaze to the villagers waiting for Charles to follow their escape. It looked up above them, where a peculiar ship hovered overhead. Green rings flowed from a port from the frightening craft over the poor villagers pulling them into the tractor beem. Among the villagers was Phyllis and Pelly, Tom Nook, and Isabelle, all pulled into the craft, calling out for Charles to help them.

The knight stood in the way as Charles was left helplessly watching his friends get taken away. His close friends were being kidnapped right before his eyes with the knight proudly looking on at crime being done. He looked up at the giant who seemingly forgot about Charles presence to continue destroying the village. In the anger building up in him, Charles remembered all the hard work, the relationships he had built, and the memorable moments he had shared at Smashville suddenly crumbling in an instant as the nefarious being carelessly wrecked it all to ruin. This knight, this dark creature had just singlehandedly destroyed all the things the mayor loved in one night. Now in this moment, his friends are being taken captive right before his eyes, invoking a wrath Charles had never felt before.

He looked around, spotting an axe under the rubble, digging out to wield it. He gradually began running toward his adversary, who was still preoccupied destroying more of the town. "You... you bastard!" He threw the axe with all his fury, with it spinning toward knight. Being caught off guard, the entity turned around too late to have the spinning axe slice between the joint in his arm leaving a small gash in the exposed area. The knight looked at his attacker in shock, never expecting to be struck by anything, then proceeded to approach his foe. Suddenly Charles' fit of wrath turned to panic, not knowing what to do if the creature were to retaliate as it menacingly approached him. But then the giant stopped in it's tracks as a blinding light shone into its eyes. It seemed the light came from behind Charles, so he looked around, shielding his eyes as we'll to see.

Coming down from the light, like an angel decending from heaven, a beautiful woman clad in a heavenly white dress with many gold ornamental accessories worn as well. Her illustrious green hair flowed in the magnificent arrival, with a green glyph shining behind her head. She held a staff in her right hand and carried a mirror shield on her left arm into the battle the knight caused. When she landed, the newcomer gracefully pointed her staff in the direction of the aggressor before a large, bright energy beam rushed from a distance, colliding into the armored giant before Charles. The knight was pushed tremendously back into a couple of buildings it had not destroyed yet, still unscathed even by the great attack.

Charles was speechless at the powers at battle, from the heavenly woman summoning giant lasers, to the giant knight with impenetrable armor. The angelic figure floated over to Charles and spoke to him. "Hurry, we must leave before he recovers!"

"Wait, shouldn't that 'mega laser' thing have harmed that guy?" Charles questioned.

"I didn't use it at its full power. It's not wise to take him straight on right now, we must fall back!" The woman was far more beautiful up front than from a distance. If it wasn't for the dangerous situation at hand, Charles would have been blushing (more than he would have).

"Wait, we?!"

"Yes we! Besides you can't stay here, he'll kill you!" Charles wasn't familiar with the "K" word or the concept of death, but he didn't want to risk knowing what it was. The only thing that made him want to stay was to rescue anyone who was kidnapped by the knight.

"But what about my friends!" Charles objected. "It's got them captive! I'm not leaving without them!" Their discussion was interrupted as the giant had rose from the rubble it was in and prepared to charge at them. It was a little fazed by the earlier attack, but that didn't stop it.

"Do you really want to deal with this guy right now? Look we can't help them right now, but I promise we'll free them soon, so come on!" She did not have time to argue about this so the woman grabbed the mayor and pulled him close to her, both staring at the menace rushing at them. Charles had been wrapped in her left arm, hugged up to her breasts, which in his perspective, didn't feel comfortable being so close to a woman and her private areas. Nevertheless, she waved her staff in the air, looking up towards the sky. Charles turned his head toward the knight who was about to swing its sword at them when the woman shouted "Warp!"teleporting them away from the edge and out of thin air. [end BGM]

Alone, the knight looked at the spot it's targets were at for a while before shifting its gaze to its cut in its arm. It was a minor slice, however, it did bleed out a colorful substance, supposedly it's blood. It stared at its wound before receiving a transmission from its helmet. From the static arose an alien voice not easy to understand but interpreted in subtitles. "So how goes the hunt, o' mighty one? A grand success as usual?"

The knight looked back at its cut then up again. "There have been some stragglers that escaped, but shouldn't have lived."

"Oh well, you win some you lose some. Especially since we are hunting squirming little germs that are harder to strike at their size." The voice from the other side joked.

"This is no joking matter. These are no ordinary game," the knight explained, "these ones have potential, just like the last ones."

"You don't mean they're..."

"Yes. These ones are an interesting bunch, however." It paused, looking at the wreckage around it. "These ones are far beyond normal trophies." The knights eyes glow behind it's helmet signifying a new goal it has implanted in: to bag in the one who has made him bleed in his collection of trophies.

Phew! My first fanfic! With a story for Super Smash Brothers for the 3ds/WiiU. This is the beginning of a fantastic saga for this part of their franchise, with the Smash Brother coming back together with the Newcomers to rally against new threats and the it ability to team up once again like they did in The Subspace Emissary. This story does not take place right after the Brawl story, but after a series of events between that adventure and this one. I also have ideas on how the story went down in the first "Impact" and the Mellee tournaments, as what I'm depicting them as. To all the potential readers, I hope you like, and please review so you can share ideas on what could happen on the next chapters.

Smasher appearances (at the moment): Villager, Palutena
