A/N: Hi, everyone! Thank you for reading and reviewing my last story! This is a story with an OC of mine that I've been thinking about posting. Hopefully you'll like it! Now, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers, only the story idea.
"They said that all the evil in the Smash World came from Subspace. But when the Smashers defeated Tabuu, and Subspace was destroyed, the good in the Smashers was infused into a small part of Subspace, creating a new being. It was a trophy called Light."
It's been three years since the Smashers defeated Tabuu. They are all living in the Smash Mansion, with portals they can use to visit home, all universes included. It is peaceful now. (This story will include Smashers from both SSBM and SSBB.)
"Do we have to go?"
"Shut up! We could be doing worse things!"
"I think this is going to be really cool! I mean, this doesn't happen every night, you know."
"But I don't even like astrology!"
"I'm surprised you even know what astrology is!"
The Smashers were all filing out of the Smash Mansion on a clear, crisp, cool night. Master Hand had told them all that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight, and he wanted them all to see it. He claimed it was from an unknown universe, and that it only came around every 750 years. He further said that the meteors contained some essence of that unknown universe. Most Smashers thought he was only joking, but some semi-believed him. Nonetheless, some of the Smashers (like Wolf and Bowser) weren't interested in seeing this phenomenon. Others (like Pikachu and Princess Peach) were rather curious as to how it would turn out.
By this time, the Smashers were all sitting outside on the well-cared-for front lawn of the Smash Mansion. The sun had already set, and there was a sprinkle of stars across the sky. With not too many trees in the lawn, it was quite a fair view.
Master Hand said in a telepathic voice (causing many of the Smashers to jump), "The meteor shower will begin at any moment now. Watch the skies." The Smashers nodded and stared up at the vast, unending darkness pinpointed with light.
After about 25 seconds, the first meteor streaked across the sky. It left a sparkling tail in its wake. There was a stir of excitement among many. A few seconds later, several more meteors raced through the darkness. Soon, there were meteors all across the sky. Many Smashers "oooh"ed and "aaah"ed at the sight. "Space rain!" Yoshi squealed. (This earned him a whomp over the head from King Dedede's hammer.) Even the villains had to grudgingly admit to themselves that this was pretty cool.
Just then, an abnormally large meteor zoomed across the sky, faster than any of the meteors before it, and closer to them than a few of the Smashers would have liked it to be. It landed in the woods just outside of the gates to the Mansion with a titanic boom. Sonic jumped to his feet. "Come on! Let's go see what happened!" He raced off in the direction of the meteor. Many others, not wanting to be left behind, started after Sonic, dragging their unwilling friends along and shouting, "Hey! Wait up, Sonic!"
Eventually, the Smashers made it to the landing site of the meteor. There were smoldering little chunks of meteor everywhere, and many of the Smashers could be seen stashing away the pieces. Master Hand came onto the scene, holding a huge orb of light, just right for night vision. This revealed a mound of meteorite pieces. Pit dashed over and started to move them around. He had only moved two stones when, suddenly, the light that Master Hand was holding went out. There was a general outcry of "HEY! TURN THE LIGHT BACK ON!" Master Hand shouted out loud, "I DIDN'T TURN THE LIGHT OFF!" This caused the Smashers to promptly shut up for a few seconds, but then they started murmuring amongst themselves, complaining about the lack of light. After a few minutes, Master Hand snapped his fingers and soft, glowing spheres of light appeared, hovering in midair. This was met by an approving murmur.
Meanwhile, Lucario made his way over to Pit, who was trying to remove yet another space stone. His paws glowed with his aura power, the color being a cerulean hue. He chuckled softly as the angel pulled and pulled at the stone, to no avail. Sneaking up behind him, Lucario whispered in Pit's ear in his darkest, creepiest, lowest voice, "Need some help with that?"
The effect was just as he had hoped; Pit gave an effeminate yelp and nearly slapped the jackal in the face as he jumped, twisting in the air to face Lucario. The said Pokémon flung his head back and laughed (despite almost being slapped), while Pit crossed his arms and frowned. "You didn't have to do that, you know!" He complained, pouting a little.
"Heh, couldn't resist, pal." Lucario chuckled as another laugh rumbled up from inside his chest.
Pit just frowned again, although this time he was doing it to fight down a smile. He said, "Well, are you going to help me with this space rock or not?"
Lucario managed to tie down his laughter to a certain degree, and replied, "Of course. Alright, on three, push the rock. One, two… Three!"
The duo shoved the rock hard. It tumbled from off the pile, and suddenly, a great pulse of light rushed out from the pile of space rubble, expelling the remaining rocks. Lucario used Extremespeed, grabbing Pit and dodging the debris. There was a collective gasp from the Smashers. Pit got up, helping Lucario to his feet and thanking him heartily for saving him. The two Smashers looked back at where the pile of rubble used to be—and almost fell over in shock. There, on its signature stand, was a Trophy.
The Trophy was a little sphere of light, enveloping the whole vicinity in a soft, gentle glow. This had attracted the attention of all the other Smashers by now, and the crowded together in a circle so they could see. Master Hand hovered nearby.
"A Trophy! But how?" King Dedede gawked.
"I'd bet you anything that it came in the meteor," Falco said smugly, nudging Fox. The said humanoid just rolled his eyes.
"Such a pretty Trophy!" the Ice Climbers exclaimed softly.
"Space treasure!" Yoshi squealed. (Again, Dedede felt compelled to whallop Yoshi over the head with his mallet.)
Pit was mesmerized by the trophy. He couldn't stop staring at its rays of light. It gave him a comforting feeling, like everything was right with the world. "Lucario… This is the most fascinating Trophy I've ever seen!"
"Hmm, fascinating indeed, I've never seen a Trophy like this before. Do you think Master Hand knew that this was going to happen?"
"Heck, don't ask me."
Lucario looked at his friend, whose eyes looked like they were drowning in the light of the Trophy. Slightly amused, he shook the angel, who jumped slightly. "Hey, you alright there? You looked… I don't know… hypnotized by that light," Lucario said, laughing softly.
"It's just... it's so..." Pit was at a loss for words, which worried Lucario.
"Um, Pit... Are you okay?"
"Ah... I want to restore it..."
Just then, Master Hand broke through the circle of Smashers and said, "Please back up from the Trophy, I have this under control." The Smashers backed up grudgingly, all but Pit and Lucario. Pit had a dreamy look in his eye. Lucario was whispering in his ear, looking back occasionally to Master Hand.
"Pit, Lucario, please back away. You don't even know what that Trophy is." Master Hand said gently.
Pit looked highly upset. "Let me restore it!" He cried, trying to place his hand on the Trophy. Lucario draped his arm around Pit's shoulders and murmured, "Just let Master Hand take care of this. He's the one who could take care of something if this Trophy turns out to be a bad one."
Pit squirmed and whispered back fiercely, "It's not a bad Trophy! It's not bad now, and it won't ever be!" He squirmed some more, trying to wriggle out of Lucario's hold.
"Listen! You don't know if what you said is true or not! Let Master Hand take care of this!" The Aura Pokémon hissed, holding Pit with an iron grip. After a few more moments of struggling, the angel gave up and allowed Lucario to gently lead him back into the circle of Smashers that surrounded the Trophy. The other Smashers swapped looks, wondering why Pit had all of a sudden wanted to restore that trophy so much. It wasn't like him to do such a thing. But that concern vanished as Master Hand approached the Trophy.
Ever so gently, he pressed his index finger to the base of the Trophy. The Smashers waited with bated breath as the base of the Trophy began to shine.
What will happen next? All will be revealed in the next chapter (never fear!). Please review and let me know what you thought of it; your thoughts and critique mean a lot!
