It was a very dark and stormy night when a figure appeared out of the light mist that had been gathering around on the ground. He didn't appear to be that old, most would say probably 10 or 9. But he was more mature then he looked as he headed towards the Smasher Mansion, intending on joining the Smashers. Inside the Mansion, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser were in the training room in a 3 on 1 match, while the Ice Climbers were talking about something to themselves on one of the couches in the Mansion. Young Link was in the kitchen, rummaging around to get some Lon Lon Milk, which always somehow found it's way into the fridge. Kirby was nearby, searching for something to eat, while Older Link was talking to Zelda and blushing redly as he did so. Ganondorf, Roy, and Marth were shouting at each other about which one of them was better at swordsmanship. Falco and Fox were talking to each other quietly, speaking into a sort of speaker on their wrists every now and then, probably to stay in touch with whoever they were talking to on it. Samus, Dr. Mario, and Mr. Game and watch, and Ness were upstairs in their rooms, sleeping at the moment.

Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, and Pichu were in the Pokemon Floats stage, fighting a match with 'no poke-balls barred', an obvious pun on 'no holds barred'. DK and Captain Falcon kept doing taunts to each other in the middle of the room, while Yoshi was walking up the stairs. A particular loud thunderclap happened as the boy from earlier appeared into the room, shocking everyone except the Ice Climbers, who were still talking amongst themselves. He would give them each a gaze with his brown eyes, then head up the stairs, calling for Master Hand. As soon as the boy was out of earshot, the room started to buzz with talk about the person who had just appeared, save for Ice Climbers, still talking to themselves.

"Master Hand, finally I found you" The boy would say, wiping the sweat off his brow from all the stares he got earlier, obviously a shy boy seeing as how nervous he got so easily. "Do you have any idea how far I have traveled?" The boy would ask with a slight frown. "Very far, I must venture" Master Hand would say, leading the boy to his office then. "It is Marut, correct?" Master Hand would ask, sitting down onto the chair hard, nearly breaking it. "Yes, Marut" the boy, now known as Marut, would say, taking a chair in front of the desk Master Hand was sitting behind. "You want to join the Smashers, I believe?" M. Hand would ask, jotting down a few notes. "Yes, I wish to join the smashers...but I believe first you need to conduct an interview" Marut would say and M. Hand would nod, waving his head and closing the door as he did so.

"So-a, Did-a anything happen-a while we were-a gone-a?" Mario would say as he, Peach, Luigi, and Bowser emerged from the training room. Instantly, Falcon would nod from the chair he was now sitting in. "Yes, something did indeed happen, a young boy just appeared into the room as a thunderclap occured, then went upstairs in search of Master Hand" Falcon would say to Mario. "That is-a very interesting-a!" Luigi would cut in before Mario could speak. Then, before anyone else could speak, a loud booming voice shook the mansion a little. "Everyone, come to the main room...that is all" Master Hand would announce and from the Poke Floats stage, the pokemon would sigh and woefully commit suicide to get back to the Mansion quicker. After getting rid of the last of their lives they appeared out of nowhere into the main room.

"What is it that you wanted?" Samus would nearly shout from under her helmet, probably glaring at Master Hand through her visor. Everyone would stare at her, safe for the Ice Climbers who were staring at M. Hand and Marut, who was standing beside M. Hand. "I would like you all to meet the new Smasher, Marut" Master Hand would say and watch as everyone greeted Marut. "It is nice to meet all of you" Marut would say, looking from one of them to the next, staring at the Ice Climbers last before yawning a little. "Hey, Master Hand, who am I going to be bunking with?" He would ask, looking to M. Hand. "hmm, let's see...you'll be bunking with the Ice Climbers" Master Hand would say, looking up from his list to Marut, who was staring blankly at Master Hand with a childish frown on his face.

"And...that room would be?..." Marut would ask and after getting some directions from M. Hand, he would head up the stairs following the directions he got. Once again, everyone was abuzz with talk, especially Nana who wouldn't shut up and had to get Popo to get her more quiet. "Quiet down everyone...I'm going to need some sleep too..." Master Hand would say with a sigh, shaking his head and walking out of the room to the top floor where his room was. Young Link looked a bit sad and mad at the same time when Nana kept talking about Marut, but this look would go away soon after she had shut up.

"Hmm, such a fine night" Marut would say from the room he was sharing with the Ice Climbers, staring out the window at all the lightning and thunderclouds. "So wonderful..." He would say, electricity crackling a little in his hands as he climbed up onto the bunk-bed and lay down on the top, with lightning shaped sheets covering his bed. He would close his brown eyes, his lightning colored hair covered some of his face as he fell asleep on the bunk-bed.

Nana would yawn after several moments of everyone talking about MArut, then quieting down. "I think I'm gonna go head up onto bed Popo" Nana would say to her brother, who merely nodded as she walked up the stairs, Young Link glancing over to her as she did so. "Good night Nana" He would call out to her. Nana would then return his sentence with a "Good night Y. Link" She would say with a smile to him, then head up to her room.

"mhm" Marut would frown as he slept, tossing and turning as the nightmare continued in on his head.

Marut's P.O.V.

Out-numbered 30 to 1, I let loose a huge wave of thunder in the direction of a Giga Bowser, who was KOed instantly. "too many..." I would mumble as a Crazy hand started to pummel me. I would raise my hands up and lightning would fly out of them, then come back down destroying all 30 of the clones he was fighting...

No-one's P.O.V.

Marut would sit up in a cold sweat, not noticing Nana, who was near the window staring out at the lessening storm. Marut would blink a few times, then wonder what the time was. Judging by the sun's position in the sky, it was probably 8 or 9 in the morning. "Have a good sleep Marut?" Nana would ask without looking from the window. Marut would jump at the sound of Nana's voice, just noticing her, then blink a little as he heard the sounds of someone sleeping right below him. Probably Popo... He would think, then look to Nana, staring at her brown hair, which was covering her shoulders since she had the hood of her coat down. "Y-Yeah...I d-did" He would manage to say, still sweating a cold sweat.

Nana would giggle a little. "You don't need to be so jumpy you know" She would say, turning around to face him as he jumped down from the top of the bunk-bed. "I am not jumpy..." He would say as he stared at her face, not able to help himself as he scanned her face. "So...erm, did you have a good sleep?" He would ask, getting a bit nervous as he kept staring at her, waiting for an answer.

A/N: HA, a cliffhanger, you're just gonna have to wait until I update later today, and yes, I update stories fast.
