"Oh, man! I am REALLY feelin' it today!" Wolf shouted as he hopped out of his Landmaster. He had just gotten back from another Smash Bros. tournament. He lost to Meta Knight. Again. He's god tier so nobody even tries to mess with him.
"Yo, Wolf, take a look at this..." Snake said from across the room.
"Aight, fine. But I swear to god, if it's that decapitation video again..."
"It's not." Snake interrupted. Wolf was surprised by Snake's coldness. "They...announced a fourth Smash Bros."
Wolf's eyes widened, bewildered. He had only been a Smasher for three years, but he already knew why new game announcements were bad news.
He could be cut.
He'd been close friends with Roy; he showed Wolf how to be less of a clone. It seemed to work out in the end, as many people lauded Wolf's fighting skills and quick reflexes. Even his Landmaster, although two other Smashers also used it. But when Roy received news of his 'cut' status, he just didn't seem to be the same.
"Whoa, Smash 4? Sounds great!" Cheered Lucas from the hall. Wolf envied the young child's indifference to even the worst situations.
"WOOHOO! SMASH FOUR HYPE! YEAH!" Said Popo and Nana. Were they children, or just short adults? Are they siblings, or lovers? Or both? Many questions surrounded the pair, but nobody questioned them, as they've been around for nearly ten years, and veterans are treated with utmost respect in the Smasher community.
"Tsk. Let's hope that we hear our fate soon. Best to face the music as early as possible." Snake mumbled, a bit ticked off by the childlike idiocy coming from Lucas and the Ice Climbers.

The letters were coming in.
Snake was the first to go. He didn't care, simply scoffing and going back to smoking a cigar after reading the letter.
Next were Ivysaur and Squirtle, a week later. Their Trainer was also told to stay home, and to only send Charizard into battle. The other Pokemon gifted a Mega Stone to the fire-type as a good luck charm.
Three days later, Lucas was cut. He didn't take it well. He fell into depression, occasionally activating PK Fire on accident from his emotions. Many walls were ruined in the house. Snake paid to send Lucas to therapy to cope with his situation.
After that were the Ice Climbers. They stayed oddly calm about it, and bought a Wii U for in the house to play Smash.
Wolf was worried. He hadn't been given a letter at all, so he was left not knowing his fate. While he acted like being cut wouldn't be a big deal, he secretly didn't know what to do if he was cut. All he could do was wait.
And that's a wrap for Chapter 1. You can thank GameFAQs for this story. I'll try to get another chapter up within the week. Please review and stay tuned!
