Forethought/Notes:
Hello! and welcome to CelestialEnvoy's Brawl fanfiction, The Shadow Bane! This story focuses on events which took place behind the origins of "The Subspace Emissary", as well as create a continuation of the adventure started by the Nintendo universe. Many names used within this series are nonexistent, including the name originally worn, according to my story, by Meta Knight. Nintendo owns Super Smash Bros; I do not claim the Nintendo characters as mine in any way.
Now that that's out of the way, here's how the series is going to work:
1. The story runs in the viewpoints of all of the characters. There is no particular order to what characters might be in the next chapter. Chapters are categorized by the characters, so when they end their segment, the next chapter begins. Sorry if it still sounds confusing.
2. All of the characters talk, including Donkey Kong and Pikachu. This is done in order to make the story more entertaining to read and to allow a role for every character.
3. Each story might eventually collide in some way, so at some point in the story, you might be seeing 2 character universes interacting within one storyline.
4. Some characters are completely made up, as are their backgrounds. Dusk is not a real character; if he is, I sure have absolutely no clue what he appears in.
5. The names are a little bizarre, I realize that. I know how weird it is looking at names like some of the characters have, but just put up with it.
"The Shadow Bane" is relatively long, and each chapter is almost like an episode in some aspect; the ideas that are written are thought of on the fly sometimes, so the story is always open to change. Hope you enjoy the story! If you have suggestions, let me hear them!
Please note, this series was created over a year ago, and was brought to an abrupt halt after Chapter 2, though everything up to Chapter 6 had already been planned out prior to the series' creation. I may resume it, but I'm not convinced it would be worth it at the moment. Everything being uploaded here is slightly revised so it is at least somewhat presentable; sorry if the writing feels a bit pretentious or try-hard to anyone ^_^;
