Hey, everyone! Welcome to my new story! This one will be a lot different than the others, for reasons you will see when you read the story. For this story I got a lot of inspiration from a story called 'One Last Dance' by Rhylitah. It is definitely one of my most favourite stories ever. This is a Super Smash Bros Story. This story will also not feature comedy, like nearly every other story I've uploaded before. It will be in-depth and dramatic. I really hope you enjoy, because I've been planning this story for a long time. Please read and review!
...
Nana Climber walked through the dusty plains, pulling her pink parka closer to her body for warmth. She dragged her trusty hammer behind her. Thoughts were spinning in her mind. Why was she invited back to the Smash Mansion after years of ignorance? Would her brother, Popo, be there? What will happen? She had heard about the new competition that was happening. The little girl and her brother had competed in the previous two, but they still hadn't been asked to join the latest one. The wind blew the thoughts out of her mind as she came across a gigantic castle. She gaped at its size, then smiled.
The Smash Mansion.
She had made so many friends here. Olimar...Mario...Link...Peach...She couldn't hold in her excitement and squealed happily, dashing towards the towering gates. She used her gloved hand to knock the door. A slot opened in the gate and a mechanical eye came out. A green line of data scanned her up and down.
"Waiting on information." The scanner said. "Information received."
Nana breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wasn't totally forgotten. The green line of data disappeared, the machine eyeing her.
"Nana Climber. Brother of Popo Climber. Has competed in two out of three of the Smash tournaments, and is currently awaiting results on her taking part in the fourth one." The machine said.
"No need to make fun of me..." Nana said under her breath so the machine couldn't hear her.
"Enter." The machine said. "You are the last contestant to arrive."
"Contestant?" Nana said, puzzled.
She was gently blown back as the gates opened. She could tell they had been modernised. They opened smoothly. She quietly entered the courtyard. Her shoes made echoey noises as she walked along the stone path. She went into a corridor, which was narrow and long. As she walked, the noise of voices got louder and louder. She eventually found the source, which was beyond the dining room door. She took a deep breath. Was she ready for this? To see her old friends? To see...Popo? She hadn't seen her own brother for years. What would she say to him?
"Shut up." She whispered to herself. "Just calm down."
But she couldn't calm down. As she placed her hand on the handle, she started shaking. The noises seemed to get louder. She felt dizzy. The voices swirled around in her head. She opened the door and stepped inside. The room suddenly went deathly quiet as everybody inside rested their eyes upon Nana. She let a quick smile escape her lips before she walked over to a chair and sat down. She still felt dizzy...maybe coming here wasn't such a good idea...Nobody talked to her, which was good. Or was it? Maybe they didn't like her? Oh, she was such an idiot for-
"Nana?" A gentle voice spoke.
She looked up to see a boy, around the same size as her looking at the little girl, his eyes widened in surprise. He wore an identical parka to hers, but his was blue, not pink. He was also holding a hammer. Popo. Her brother, Popo Climber.
"..." Nana stayed quiet. "Popo."
"Nana? You got invited?" Popo's voice was reduced to a whisper.
"Yeah. What's so wrong about it?" Nana placed her hands on her hips and scowled.
"Leave now." He turned around. "It's too dangerous."
"What? What's too dangerous? Popo?" Nana placed her hand on his shoulder, but he didn't answer.
He simply started walking away. Nana suddenly felt rage build up inside her. She gripped her brother's hand and pulled him around so their eyes met.
"What is it?" She scowled.
"Nana, let go-" Popo began, trying to shake free, but his sister had an iron grip.
He sighed, and lead his sister to a chair. She sat down and looked up at him. Popo was never like this. What was going on? She looked at everyone else.
"Nana, we've been chosen to enter a deadly competition-" Popo began when the doors opened quickly, slamming into the walls.
Competition? What was he talking about? Nana thought. Wait a minute. She remembered that weird machine thing talking about her being the final contestant. Final contestant for what?
"Hello, everyone." A familiar voice said creepily.
Everybody gasped. A strange man who looked like he was made out of energy entered the room. Electricity flickered around him, and you could even see his heart.
"N-no..." Olimar whispered.
Everybody was shocked except for Popo. He knew what was going on. He was clever and had worked it out.
"T-Tabuu...I-I don't understand..." Captain Falcon said.
The room was completely silent. Tabuu floated through it, smirking at everyone, who slowly backed away.
"Before I begin, I need to make sure everyone is here." Tabuu said.
He scanned the contestants and grinned widely. He floated up to the top of the room to get a better view.
"Olimar, Link, Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Popo Climber, Nana Climber, Ike, Samus Aran, Marth, Roy, Mega Man, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Rosalina, Toon Link, Snake, Captain Falcon, Luigi and Ganondorf. Welcome...to your fate." Tabuu said.
The contestants' eyes widened to the size of lightbulbs. Sweat trickled down their foreheads. Tabuu grinned at this.
"Death. Murder. Fate. I have witnessed all of this before. How do you think I felt, having to face over twenty of you? I just wanted to create a perfect world...for my family...and you had to ruin it." He narrowed his eyes, his voice getting lower. "I was actually...scared. I was all alone in that dark tunnel...I...I didn't know what to do. I eventually used all of my magic to escape, and I came back here. It's taken me years, but it'll be worth it."
Tabuu's grin widened. The contestants felt frightened. What would he do to them?
"Revenge. That's what I want. Revenge. On all of you." Tabuu smirked. "The ones that I haven't chosen are lucky. They get to live for another few years..."
"But...but...what are you going to do with us?" Villager asked.
"This is not fair! I had nothing to do with this!" Wii Fit Trainer cried.
"But, Trainer, I don't want it to happen again." The electricity on Tabuu's body sparkled, as if it were excited. "You will all be playing a game. A deadly game. Twenty of you will enter the nightmare, but only one of you will come out."
The contestants gulped. This was it. They had to fight for their life. They had to fight their friends and family to keep going. But wait...he hadn't said that yet! Maybe they still had a chance!
"You must fight your friends and family to keep going." Tabuu said, and the contestants' hearts sank. "Once you enter the nightmare world, you will appear in an area with another person. This person will be your enemy. Your foe. You must use the weapon I give you to kill them. If you kill them, you will move on to round two, which will have a different system. But I will explain all that to you later..."
"No, I refuse to believe it..." Toon Link shook his head.
"I can't fight...I won't fight..." Peach whispered.
"If you refuse to fight, both of you will be killed. Oh, and I forgot. If you die in the nightmare world, you die in real life." Tabuu said with a smirk. "You will all be transported to your respective areas in about ten seconds. Well, your spirits will. Your bodies will lay here, unconscious, until the winner eventually regains their sanity. Goodbye."
The characters realised their were disappearing into data. They all screamed in terror as they watched their friends disappear. Eventually, they were all gone. Tabuu let out a menacing laugh that shook the entire room.
"Nobody will make fun of me ever again."

Please leave a review, and if you enjoyed this please read Rhylitah's 'One Last Dance.' Oh, and by the way, Nana is not the main character, I just needed a character for the first chapter to focus on. In the next chapter the battles will begin. Please stay tuned!
