We all know what happened in Brawl, right? Well, this story is about it, except... a bit different. Well, I hope you all will enjoy it. Now let's get right into the story.

About a few years after Tabuu was defeated, an illness started spreading between the Smashers. Occasionally one would start coughing hard and everyone would stay as far away as possible, and a few minutes later the room was empty except for the sick Smasher.

The only positive thing about it was that the sickness kept Doctor Mario busy.

At first, no one really cared about it much, since they all thought it was just a cold. Then the Smashers that got sick never came out of the hospital, and the every day there would be a few more gone from the hallways of the mansion.

After a few weeks the mansion was close to being empty (except for the furniture). That was when a group of Smashers decided to do something about it before things get too out of hands.

Lucario checked the watch on his wrist. 6:20. Ten minutes left. He hurried through the winding corridors, occasionally getting lost in the mansion's many rooms.

He finally arrived, panting and out of breath, at the door made of fine wood, and engraved on it was the Smash Ball, the logo of the Veterans that fought against Tabuu in the Brawl era.

It was a room specially designed so the Newcomers couldn't get in, with a number of riddles that only the Veterans would know.The mechanics of this room were just so fancy and complex no one bothered to ask Master Hand how he made it, because nobody wanted to ruin the surprise and awe every time they opened the door.

Lucario sighed and pushed the door open just as his watch ticked 6:30.
