It was a quiet night on the Comet Observatory, and Rosalina was in her library reading her favorite book with her four month old child Celestia sleeping peacefully in her arm. Celestia, who was thoroughly wrapped in a light blue blanket let out a large yawn before moving her head closer to her mother's shoulder.
Rosalina then remembered the fateful night of her beloved husband Adam, sacrificing his life to save everyone a little over a year ago. She brushed the thought away, and turned back to her sleeping daughter.
Only four months old, and she was a complete handful, not to mention that she was teething, which made it ten times harder to calm her down. Rosalina's life was absolutely wonderful, but extremely gruesome. She was a protective mother, a queen, and the guardian of the universe, and if that wasn't enough, she was the protector of a whole other kingdom as well.
A loud voice from the other side of the room was heard, along with a loud bang, as if someone was knocking on the library door. Then from the corner of her eyes she saw something slide underneath the door, an envelope, but who could be writing her a letter this late at night?
She then used her wand to levitate the letter to her awaiting hands, open up the envelope, pull out the letter, and then she began to read through the urgent letter slowly.
To Queen Rosalina Serelo and Princess Celestia Bellatrix Serelo,
Congratulations! You have both been officially invited to the 5th annual Super Smash tournament, beginning one week from today. In this tournament, you will be testing your strength and stamina against other challengers in an all out battle for a grand prize of One Million Dollars. You will also enjoy wonderful experiences that you may never thought of doing like skydiving, racing, and even attending sports events in full luxury.
Everything that was mentioned here or that is soon to be mentioned at the orientation will all be paid for, so you won't have to pay for anything. This invitation certifies that you and your child will be under our protection plan in case of injuries, or other extreme conditions that may affect you late in the game.. This certificate also allows you the right to quit or disqualify yourself from the tournament if a family issue or tragedy occurs.
Now since Celestia is not sixteen years of age, she isn't allowed to intervene or play in the tournament, but she is allowed to enjoy the same luxuries as everyone else in it. She will be under our full protection plan, in case she gets hurt during your stay. If you choose to accept this invitation, you will be escorted to the grand Smash Mansion in a private limousine, and we will even help you pack your belongings for the trip.
With all of that being said, we hope to see you at the Smash tournament orientation at eight o'clock on Saturday, and we wish you the best of luck in the tournament.
Yours truly, Master Hand:
Grand Headmaster of the Smash Mansion
Rosalina read over the letter multiple times to be sure she was reading it correctly. She couldn't believe what she was reading, a cash prize of one million dollars, she could pay for the new observatory in the Mushroom Kingdom, or pay for Celestia's college fund, the list just went on inside her head. She then got up slowly off the chair she was sitting in, went to her room and started to gather her belongings.
Luma then saw her mother packing her suitcase and entered into her mother's room. "Where are you going Mama?" She asked with a curious face.
"I've been invited to a tournament, and I'm going to take Celestia with me. If I win, we get one million dollars, isn't that exciting Luma? Just imagine us living on Earth with all of our friends. And then you can see Courtney again." Her mother explained.
"We can see Courtney again? Mama you have to win, we all believe in you, and we will all be there watching." Luma yelled with excitement as all the others joined in with excitement.
"Now hold on for one second, the invitation only said me and Celestia, I don't think you can come with me." Rosalina added in.
There was silence all in the room, and Rosalina knew that they were about to cry, so she quickly thought of something to make them feel happy. "Tell you what, I'll ask the person in charge if you can help out at the mansion." She said.
All the lumas started to cheer again, putting a smile on their mother's face. Let's hope that this guy says yes. She thought to herself.
Rosalina was now in her room, sitting at her personal desk, pen in her hand, hovering over the letter that she was going to write to Master Hand. Her mind went blank as she was trying to think of the best way to ask him about the rest of her children being able to stay at the mansion with her. There was still three days before the tournament, but she still had to prepare. She then grabbed her pen and began to write.
To Master Hand, grand headmaster of the Smash Mansion,
I happily accept your invitation to the 5th annual Super Smash tournament, I understand the rules and events that will happen during the tournament, and will take on everything with a positive attitude and participation.
I have a few questions to ask you at the orientation, but I wanted to ask you this one question now. My question is if Celestia can come enjoy the luxuries of the Smash mansion, can the rest of my children come with me as well? I will have them help out with Celestia, I also don't want to leave them here at home alone, they get frightened very easily. I'm only looking out for them as a protective mother should.
With that question out of the way, I once again happily accept your invitation and I will be there on Saturday.
Sincerely yours,
Queen Rosalina Serelo
She gave the letter to one of her Lumas and it soon flew out of sight to deliver the letter to Master Hand.
"Let us hope that I can win this because my family is counting on it." She muttered to herself as she soon climbed into bed and drifted into a deep slumber.
(Tabuu POV)
The dark cave was very moist, giving it an awful odor that Tabuu could easily vomit to. It was disgusting, probably the worst scent he had ever smelled, if there wasn't the body odor that his newly possessed body gave out.
Whatever you do, don't think about vomiting, just don't, it'll help, I hope. He said to himself, holding his nose.
He gave out a small quiet sigh and morphed back into his original form, leaving the possessed body to lie on the damp, cold floor. The room was quiet for a while, until the Adam's body gave out a large cough and groan, startling Tabuu and making him realize that this guy was alive, for some unknown reason which he couldn't explain.
This was the body of Adam, his old apprentice, before he turned on him, Tabuu hated this guy for one thing, he died at the fallen capital, to save his pregnant wife and his family from certain death, but how was he alive now? That was the real question to ask, and Tabuu couldn't find the answer.
Where am I? Adam asked himself as he turned as if he saw the devil himself. "You… you monster! Where's my wife? Where's my child? Tell me now! Where are they!?" Adam screamed, as he lunged at the spirit, choking Tabuu in an act of rage.
"Hey, come on Caliber, chill out, I don't know where they are, honest to god. You teleported them somewhere, not me, it's your fault for not knowing where you teleported them to." Tabuu replied.
Adam's anger soon ceased, as he slowly regained control of himself, and slowly moving his hands away from the spirit's throat.
"Now if you're finished with your infuriating breakout, I would like to make a deal with you." Tabuu offered.
"Haven't I helped you enough already, what more can you possibly want? I've already gave you that Subspace Emerald, what is it that you want now?" Adam asked bitterly.
Tabuu let out a small sinister grin as he cleared his throat. "Actually you didn't, I came to realize that the emerald only rebuilds, not revives, so really you didn't help me at all, also you shattered it before you attempted to kill me, or tried to at least." He explained.
"You must've lost parts of your memories when you died, and when I possessed you, you must've lost parts of your memories, like how you don't know where your family is, very interesting." He added.
"Why does it matter if I lost parts of my memories to you? You already ruined my life enough, turning me against my wife and making me nearly kill her. What more can I do for you? Be your little pawn and follow your every order? Just like I was before?" Adam said with a hiss in his voice.
Tabuu was taken aback by this response and didn't understand why Adam was so mad at him, apart from the fact that Tabuu was trying to recover his power to be ruler of the human realm, but that wasn't the point at the moment.
"I know that you're all here, come on out my friends." He said with a calm, but commanding tone.
Soon other people came into Adam's view, all whispering to each other, giving Adam a sense of fear. "So Tabuu, this was your old apprentice?" "He doesn't look like the strong type we were looking for, but maybe he is the fourth." The two beings hissed.
"Okay Tabuu, so you had to bring your friends along with you? Real pathetic if you ask me, but that's what I'm probably going to expect from a sentient being. Anyway, who are all of you?" Adam asked with a face of confusion.
"Listen carefully, we all are members of a secret society of powerful gods called the Tide. And in this world, we are the most powerful people ever in existence, but we are missing a member since the last one was defeated, it could be you of course, if you choose to accept." Tabuu offered.
"I probably don't have a choice, do I?" Adam countered. The three gods grinned as he took a long breath. "Fine, and if I do exactly what you want, you'll let me go and see my wife and child, no crossing of your fingers either, I've learned my lesson the first time not to trust you." He said to Tabuu in an understanding tone.
The being nodded, waving his hand above Adam's head, blinding him a dark beam of light as Adam soon changed form into a creature no one has ever seen before. "Now you're ready, prove that you're worthy of being with us." Tabuu commanded Adam with a pointing finger.or as the rest of Earth called it the Twelve Kingdom International Space Stationor as the rest of Earth called it the Twelve Kingdom International Space Station
