Woo! The third fic of them all! The second of the "Fantasy Series"! Yay!
Falco & Pikachu: Yay!
As you can see, Flaco and Pika are still here. D.K. will also join us, and below closing all chapters are Marth, Yoshi, and Captain Falcon!
D.K.: It's an honor to be here!
This fic actually has three categories to it; Action/Adventure, Fantasy, and Angst. Yes folks, angst. Terrible happenings will happen to our good angel friend; the biggest of them all wrenching your heart out. Well…hopefully that'll happen…but that's for later! XD
D.K.: She talks a lot…
No duh. So uh, I don't own any of the smashers and SSBM, but I do own a second OC that will eventually make a guest star appearance as Nivian did (she's Nivian's partner; more on her later), the angels and demons, the Hands' true forms, the entire Realm of the Underworld, and a foe that everyone thought to be dead. And I'll shut up now.
Pikachu: AWAY FIRST CHAPTER!
The first three-on-three tournament was a grand hit; Master Hand had no doubts about his smashers, and was pleased with the end results. The teams pitted each other, ties were temporarily broken as twenty four of the smashers fought, Popo sitting out since he needed a new fighting style.
But in the end, only one team could win, and that team consisted of Ganondorf, Marth, and Captain Falcon. The ceremony was grand, and people loved the tourney so much, they demanded another one.
Master Hand had no problem with that.
The current tournament was at its semi finals; both green teams, one of the blue, and the champions, who wore red, battling out for the final round.
The first green team, consisting of Luigi, Dr. Mario, and Peach, were battling the blue team, consisting of Falco, Fox, and Mr. Game and Watch. The second green team, consisting of Bowser, Mewtwo, and Pichu, were against the champs.
Fists flew, sparks littered the ground and sky, and there was so much clanging and clunking that each of the four teams had a dull ring in their ears after all was said and done.
"It's hard to believe folks, but we will have new champions!" The announcer proclaimed. "The finals are here! And we have Team Falco competing against Team Bowser!"
"It would've been Team Ganondorf!" The angry greudo complained, sitting in the V.I.P. box made for the smashers. "Damned bob-ombs! I knew there should've been a no item rule!"
"Well, we were the first champions!" Falcon proclaimed to Ganondorf's right. "And that in itself is an honor!"
"I suppose," Ganondorf muttered. "Well, lots of luck to Team Falco; may they kick Team Bowser's asses for kicking our own!"
"The battle will begin in a half an hour; refreshments are now being served," The announcer proclaimed. "Thanks once again for choosing the Super Smash Brothers Melee Tournaments!"
"I wonder why Master Hand told the announcer to say that," Ness said.
"Probably because the fact that he and Crazy are demons is out," Mario, sitting behind Ness, suggested. "Did you know that MH's really stressed?"
"I wouldn't be surprised," Luigi, who was sitting in front of Ness, muttered darkly. "I mean, of course the island civilians accepted them, but the rest of the world's different. There are even some people out there who despise Marth, and he's a freaking angel!"
"Might be because people think the battles would be unfair?" Ness suggested.
"Dude, he fights without his angelic powers," Luigi said, frowning. "People just hate those that are different, especially those that are considered myths and legends. Don't forget that people believe that angels and demons don't exist!"
"Which ultimately leads back to what the Demon King talked about five months ago," Popo, sitting next to Mario, said. "Do you think he was right; that all mortals are the same? That they, we, can't accept change and hate those that are different?"
"Smasher Island isn't like the rest of the world," Mario said, frowning. "And since we've been here when all these discoveries had happened, I can only say that we'll probably never know."
"In a way, we're like the mortals that live on the hidden continents, right?" Popo asked. "Maybe the island itself is special like the two continents?"
"That's possible," Ness replied. "I mean, Mario's right; we are different than the rest of the world."
"So, uh, what do we do now?" Popo asked. "Wanna watch the finals?"
"Eh, why not?" Mario replied, looking towards the arena, which happened to be Fourside. The others shrugged before copying the plumber.
The finals went off without a hitch; the entire battle was one-sided, with Team Falco taking the trophy. The award ceremony was very grand, and the crowd made sure to voice their opinion on a third three-on-three tournament soon enough.
"A tournament has never been so popular before," Link said as the last of the audience left. Although they were told to look after their garbage, litter still found its way to the floor. Samus and Pichu, who were helping Link clean up, nodded in agreement.
"Totally!" The little mouse said. "It's a shame my team had to lose!"
"Bowser played cheap this time around," Samus said. "It was only natural that karma would come back and bite him in the butt. But still, it seems we're only getting better and better."
"That's good to hear," Link said. "Because we're going to be doing more than tournaments soon enough."
"What's going on?" Pichu asked.
"I heard it from Crazy Hand," Link said. "But there are rumors going around about it; that people are going to storm the mansion, in order to rid the planet of "bad influence"."
"That's bullshit!" Samus cried angrily. "Damn the pathetic people of this world!"
"It makes me think that maybe the Demon King was right after all," Link said. "Besides the island and the two hidden continents, people seem to be treating us with less respect than before the Blood Links disaster. Even my own homeland's questioning me, Young Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda. They're questioning their own princess; the greudo their king!"
"What wonders the world gives us," Pichu muttered. Samus and Link turned to him. "What? It's true! People who loved us about seven or so months ago now totally hate us. We never imagined that this would happen; what wonders the world gives us!"
"Never expected to hear something like that from someone like you," Samus admitted. Pichu glared. "Perhaps it is the youth that hold the most wisdom after all."
"Speaking of wisdom, has Zelda decided if she's taking the Triforce back?" Pichu asked.
"Not yet," Link replied. "None of us are sure what to do, to tell the truth. I overhead Master Hand planning to keep Dr. Mario and Young Link in this time period."
"But that means there are going to be two Marios and two Links," Samus said. "What wonders the world gives us." Pichu smiled proudly at the bounty hunter, who grinned back.
"Do you think people will really try to hurt us?" Pichu asked.
"Yes," Link replied. "We're all hopelessly stubborn; they won't quit. Which is why we can't quit either."
"We can't, cause we won't," Samus muttered. "Like you said, we're all stubborn. That's why we have these wars."
"Do you think that closing the Door was wrong then?" Pichu asked. "Do you think the Judge was just humoring us?"
"He sounded sincere enough," Link replied. "And besides, if we had perfect peace, we wouldn't be entertaining Smash City, Eternia, and the noble demon city Danga with three-on-three tournaments."
"That's true," Pichu muttered.
"We stick with what we have, and keep going using it," Samus said. "No ifs, ors, buts, or hesitations."
"What wonders the world gives us," Link said, laughing. Pichu laughed as well, shouting "OWNED!" Samus glared before giving in and laughing as well. "Enough chitchat! Back to cleaning!"
And as the day turned to night, they thought they would have peace…
Oh how wrong they were…
Falcon: And the chapter's done! RF apologizes if the ending sounds lame.
Yoshi: Yeah, she had some trouble with it...
Marth: "What wonders the world gives us"…Pichu's onto something there.
Yoshi: But don't forget those wonders are both good and bad!
Falcon: Review!
