What the hell are you doing, TC!?
...Er...yay? Another adventure story...as well as one that isn't a novelization.
I'll admit, some of this was based on Operation Smash Rescue...You might see a couple of OCs, but the only major OC, here is the villain. The main characters are supposed to be the Smashers (NO, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ASH KETCHEM!, DURR!)
...but anyways, I hope you enjoy this. Please forgive me if the characters are OOC (which most of the Smashers will be, but not the main Smashers in this story).
So without further ado, enjoy...
Chaos, that is all that could describe this world. There were loud clashes of thunder, the sky was dark, the ground looked dried up and dead, and the mansion? It was a miracle it could still stand.
Standing on the roof of the mansion was a witch, she was smiling to herself. If she could find any of the remaining Smashers, she would be just fine. In fact, a majority of the Smashers were patrolling the World of Trophies, right now. The only ones who weren't were a selected few, mainly newcomers, with maybe three veterans, living here.
"Ms. Kira?"
The witch turned her head to face a robot. He resembled that of a ten-year-old boy, wearing blue armor.
"What do you want, you little brat? I'm busy!" The witch said with disgust.
"Well, so far, we haven't been able to find anything interesting," The robot said, "That and I think Olimar passed out."
The witch shook her head, "Well, you'd better wake him up, or else you're both being punished.
"Y-yes, Ma'am," The robot said as he saluted to the with. Afterwards, he ran back into the mansion to find his sleeping friend.
The witch sighed as she decided to go back inside the mansion. Just a few more Smashers, then she could rule the world.
It was a cold Spring Night in Toad Town, the residence in this town have all gone to bed, except for one...
A short man with red clothes and a moustache was wandering the streets, looking for his younger brother. It seemed strange, not because Mario's brother has disappeared, but other folks have, too. Peach was the first to disappear. The plumber suspected it was Bowser, knowing how the Koopa loves kidnapping her, but he really didn't do it. As proof, he disappeared, the next day. Then Yoshi, Rosalina, Wario, Donkey, and Diddy have all disappeared, as well.
Mario wasn't sure of what to think of it. Out of all the years that he's protected the Mushroom World, this was actually quite strange, there shouldn't be so many people disappearing at once. Just this morning, his brother, Luigi was gone, the plumber couldn't help but feel worried.
He watched as the rain continued to fall onto the streets, he wished he knew where to look. It was only a matter of time before Mario, himself, disappeared, as well.
Mario gave up, he started heading back to his house to rest, he would have to continue his search, in the morning. If he could find at least one missing person, than he would be grateful. Tomorrow, he would only have to look deeper.
4:00 am, Mario has woken up to some knocking from the front door. The plumber groaned as he got out of bed and began heading over to the door.
He was wondering who would be awake at this hour...He figured that his brother, Luigi was finally back home, but when he opened the door, he saw three familiar faces, though not the type of faces he would see in Toad Town...or the Mushroom World, for that matter.
The first person he recognised was a young woman, who appeared to be in her late teens. She had long brown hair and wore a white and purple dress, she was holding an umbrella over her shoulder. The second person was an anthropomorphic fox. He wore green clothes, a gray jacket, and a red scarf around his neck. The third person was a blue hedgehog, who was from one of the Sega universes. Needless to say, he's gotten pretty famous in the Mushroom World, ever since he competed with Mario in the Olympics.
Mario raised an eyebrow, "What are you guys doing here? Didn't Master Hand say-"
"Who cares what Master Hand said," The fox said in an irritated tone. The hedgehog patted him on the back, "Easy, Fox!"
"What's gotten into him?" Mario asked. The woman replied with a short sigh, "Falco went missing, not too long ago."
Mario's eye widened, especially at the word "Missing". The plumber stepped out-of-the-way, holding the door open, "Here, why don't you come in!"
Without hesitation, the trio came inside the Plumber's house. The hedgehog whistled, "Nice place, I don't think I've been in here, before."
Mario gave a faint smile, "Well, it's not very big, but I hope you like it, here."
After settling down, Mario and his guests were in the kitchen. The woman, known as Zelda, was sitting down on in one of the chairs, taking a sip of her coffee, "So, you want to discuss the disappearances of your friends?"
"Well, yeah," Mario said, scratching his head, "But how is it your friends are disappearing on you, as well?"
"Well, think about it, the only ones who are disappearing have competed in the Smash Tournaments," Fox said. Mario frowned, "How could you be so sure?"
"Well, Peppy, Slippy, and Krystal are doing just fine," Fox said, "Falco's the only one who disappeared," The vulpine began to think, he had a drowsy look on his face, "Come to think of it, I've heard Wolf was gone, too. I'm not too sure about it, though."
Mario started thinking, himself. Fox was absolutely right, only folks who competed in the Smash Tournaments were disappearing. Daisy has shown her concern, but she hasn't disappeared. Waluigi was seen, not too long ago. And Dixie? She was perfectly fine. She was only looking for the missing Kongs, much like how she did on her adventure with her baby cousin.
"So, wait, how could you be so sure?" Mario asked, "what if it's just a coincidence."
"I wish it was," Zelda said, solemnly, "Link has gone missing, nobody has any idea where he went. For now, Sonic's the only one who knows what is going on."
"Is this true?" Mario asked, concerned. Sonic nodded, "It's a long story."
"Well?" Could you tell us, anyway?" Fox asked. Sonic nodded, he began to frown, "So one day, I was hanging out with Tails, when suddenly, these shadow-looking things came out of nowhere. I thought they were after Tails, but as it turned out, they were after me, instead.
"Well? Then what happened?" Mario asked, feeling intrigued by Sonic's story.
"Well, one minute I was captured by those creatures, then next thing I know, I escaped and for whatever reason, I ended up in Hyrule Field."
"That's...interesting," Mario said, unable to come up with any words.
"So, after that, I found Sonic outside Castle town," Zelda said as she continued Sonic's story, "Once we shared our stories, we began jumping from universe to universe to look for anyone who was in the same situation we were in."
"So how many universes did you jump into?" Mario asked, feeling skeptical. Sonic began to count with his fingers, "1...2...3...I think this is the last one."
"W-WHAT!?" Mario was stunned, he almost fell out of his chair, "You mean This place is the last place you're checking!?"
"That's right," Zelda said, "So now we have to find out what these disappearances have to do with our fellow Smashers."
"But I don't think it'll be easy," Fox said, crossing his arms, "Considering the only place we can go is the World of Trophies. Either that or Final Destination."
Mario frowned, "Why is that important?"
"Because, they're the only place we can look into," Zelda said, taking another sip from her coffee, "Plus, I hear something...odd happened in Smashville."
"What do you mean 'odd'?" Mario asked, tilting his head. The three Smashers looked at each other, nervously before looking back at Mario.
"Er...It's kinda hard to explain," Sonic mumbled.
"But for now, we'll need to sleep," Zelda said, calmly, "We're going to need some energy if we're going anywhere."
"Well, I don't have much, but feel free to sleep wherever you want," Mario said as he began to walk out of the kitchen, "Good night."
"Good Night," Zelda and Fox said in unison, Fox started yawning, afterwards.
"Yeah...see ya, Mario," Sonic said, heading into the living room. For the rest of the night, the four Smashers rested as the rain began to stop drizzling.
Welp, the first chapter's done.
Hehe...I'll admit, the ending seemed a little cheesy. ^^; But what can you do, eh?
Of course, who's to say there won't be any more characters joining Mario? We'll just wait and see.
...Oh yeah, constructive Criticism is welcome...and please, no flames.
