These oneshots are not chronologically accurate, with the only consistencies being that it takes place after the World of Light and is part of the AU I've been working on the last couple of months.
"And without further ado, the fifth Super Smash Brothers tournament begins tomorrow!"
All the Smashers let out a cheer of elation at that announcement, ready for the tournament to finally begin after the three months of mandatory recovery both of the hands had suggested. The actual reconstruction itself was rather shaky, as all of the floats of Pokémon in the sky had mysteriously disappeared, Sector Z had been sealed away, a portion of Planet Zebes had been closed off, part of the Mushroom Kingdom was rendered inaccessible, the Icicle Mountain had strangely vanished, two of Mr. Game & Watch's personal handhelds had been destroyed, Mute City had been shut down for temporary repairs, Rumble Falls had been blown apart thanks to Galeem and Dharkon's infighting, the maze that Pac-Man had been imprisoned in was sealed off by Dharkon, Princess Peach had declared Rainbow Road off-limits for fighting, as it presented great risk to the racers, Ridley and Samus had blown apart the Pyrosphere in one of their fights in the Dark Realm, the Orbital Gate had been destroyed by a stray attack from Galeem, Donkey Kong had put his foot down and refused to sacrifice yet another jungle to the tournament, and Yoshi had simply closed the story book that the Woolly World resided in, making it disappear.
In spite of that, the Smashers remained in high spirits, and decided to host a party at the Mansion's bar to commemorate their conquering of both light and dark. Master Hand watched the seventy-plus Smashers walk out of the auditorium, and muttered to himself, "I really love hosting this tournament..."
"What was that, brother?"
"Nothing!"
Wolf, surprisingly, was the one that led the charge into the bar, and he sprinted right to Brewster, almost snarling, "Lon Lon Milk. NOW!"
"A cup or a bottle?"
"Give me a freaking jug!"
Brewster obliged, before saying, "Enjoy your drink while it's warm... coo."
Wolf ran off to one of the booths in the back to enjoy his drink in peace. Mario and Dr. Mario walked in, the latter talking about attempting to mass produce a hangover cure, while the former was jotting down notes on what was needed for the drink. As they walked by, the Smashers heard, "Some Megavitamins... specifically blue-red and blue-blue, Tornado Tonion rings, and a banana."
As some of the Smashers retched in disgust, Dr. Mario glared at the crowd, and snapped back, "Then don't come to me in the morning when you're all hung over."
As Stefano and his cousin walked upstairs, the rest of the Smashers began to order their drinks, Brewster being scarily efficient in distributing them to the Smashers. Cloud, holding an Elixir-infused soda, looked at Bowser, and asked, "Um... is it safe for a plant to be drinking poison?"
Bowser stopped wolfing down TNT Drumsticks, looked down at the Piranha Plant, who was drinking a can of concentrated Venoshock, and said, "Yeah, this is actually standard protocol for the Koopa Kingdom's Piranha Plants." As Cloud's jaw dropped, Bowser continued, "I don't know what Peach has been feeding the ones on her side of the Mushroom Land, but whatever it is, it's not enough for them to sustain themselves. They look so pale and sickly whenever I try and kidnap her..."
As Cloud listened in half-disgust, half-interest, Luigi walked past them in a waiter's outfit and towards where Ness, Evan, Sonic, and Lucas sat, and passed them their food. Ness immediately began attacking his steak and fries, and Luigi smiled in amusement, remembering that the kid had always been a big eater ever since the first tournament eleven years ago, before walking back to the kitchen. Wario had raided the kitchen's garlic supply, which caused Luigi to bang his head on the counter several times in frustration before he felt something brush against his shoulder, and a soothing voice asking, "Feel better yet, coo?"
"Yeah, sorry Brewster..."
Isaac had ordered himself a Proxian beer, and sat himself at the bar, ordering a nice, hot meal. Matthew sat with Joker at one of the booths, the latter drinking another coffee, while Matthew played with his food in boredom before asking Joker, "So, what's your big quest? Damn near everyone in the Mansion has their adventures recorded in the Mansion's library, and I'm currently in the middle of Yoshi's..."
Joker, now in his civilian clothes, answered with, "Well, I had to... take the hearts of people."
"Wait, so you MURDERED them?!"
"No, no, no, not like that! In a metaphorical sense! What I meant by taking one's heart is that we take away the negative qualities of a person."
As Matthew nodded in understanding, Joker continued, "The first one of my targets was a sexual predator, and he..."
Having heard enough information just from those words, Matthew was now eager to change the subject, and he asked Joker, "So... how's your love life?"
"Oh, it's actually not bad. I'm dating this girl called Makoto, what about you?"
Thinking of his time with Sveta, Matthew dreamily recalled, "My girlfriend means the world to me. She's the queen of a nation of what you people call werebeasts, and I really doubt that I could've handled both the Grave Eclipse and the Mourning Moon without her."
"This girlfriend of yours... she seems very close to you."
As Joker and Matthew continued their conversation regarding romantic relationships, Yoshi and the Pokémon were all seated together at a roundtable, and the dinosaur began the conversation by holding up a sign that read, "What's Unova like?"
Lucario said, "It's actually not that bad... coming from Sinnoh, I thought that the increased number of industrial sites would've bothered me a lot, but Nimbasa City's a whole lot of fun with its amusement park."
Giving a grateful nod, Yoshi wrapped his tongue around a papaya, swallowing it whole; flesh, seeds, and all. The other Pokémon watched with awe, while Mewtwo gave off a slight noise of disgust. Incineroar socked Mewtwo on the arm, and motioned for him to watch a story that Yoshi was drawing out on a marker board; which was detailing his father's quest to save the seven Star Children from Kamek and Bowser.
Banjo was eating a pizza with Kazooie and Diddy Kong, while Donkey Kong was in the middle of munching on a banana. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw K. Rool absolutely decimate what he assumed was a plate of meat, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance, before reaching over and stealing a slice of pizza from the box. Dark Samus, being an alien lifeform attached to a suit, had no need to eat, but from the noises Donkey Kong heard coming from the bathroom, he assumed that the parasite was unloading surplus Phazon into the toilet. Shuddering in disgust, he walked away from there and sat in the closest booth he could find, which, much to his dismay, was K. Rool's booth. Sitting down, he and K. Rool silently glared at each other as Pit and Palutena watched in amusement.
"Did I mention to you that King K. Rool hates bananas?"
Pit's eyes widened at the revelation, and he exclaimed, "He HATES bananas?! But Lady Palutena, then why would he steal their Banana Hoard?"
Palutena's expression darkened, and she said, "He wanted to starve the Kong clan so he and his Kremlings could move onto Donkey Kong Island."
Bayonetta walked by with a glass of wine, and she drawled, "Hello, angel boy."
Palutena assumed a protective stance in front of Pit, and she snapped, "What do you want, Bayonetta?"
"Oh, nothing, he's cute when he's nervous." Behind Palutena, Pit's face turned tomato red with embarrassment.
With that, Bayonetta walked away.
By the end of the night, most of the Smashers save for Luigi, Snake, Wii Fit Trainer, and the Belmonts were passed out, either from the alcohol or exhaustion (or in Donkey Kong and King K. Rool's case, knocking each other out after yet another argument). The latter three headed off to bed, and Luigi muttered to himself, "Mama mia..." before walking upstairs to where his cousin and Mario had gone to work on a hangover cure. Opening the door, he saw Geno attempting to use Geno Boost to increase the effectiveness and shelf life of the medicine. Luigi walked over to Mario and Dr. Mario, hugged the both of them, and asked, "So, you need me on clean-up?"
"No, no, I can-a do it, Luigi. Just pass-a me the Poltergust."
"Mario, are you sure you know how to use that thing?"
"Don't worry, Weeg, I can-a do this!"
Strapping the Poltergust 5000 to his back, Mario walked downstairs to clean up the bar. Once he had gone, Luigi looked at Stefano, before nervously saying, "He knows how to use it, right?"
Dr. Mario said nothing.
"Right?"
Upon hearing the sound of glass breaking downstairs, Luigi, holding the Poltergust G-00, ran down the stairs in a panic, yelling, "MARIO! Don't try and vacuum glass with that!"
Turning to Geno, Dr. Mario asked, "So, what was Mario like on your adventure?"
Geno, after a bit of thought, answered with, "Mario was pretty much like how the Mushroom Kingdom views him now."
"So, a charismatic leader?"
"Yes, but during our quest, he argued with Bowser a lot. It even got to the point that we almost got kicked out of Bowser's Keep because of him almost beating up Bowser for insulting Luigi."
While Stefano smiled at Mario's display of care, he asked in confusion, "Wait, Bowser's Keep?"
"Yes, our quest was in the Mushroom Valley."
"Mushroom Valley?"
"The former location of the Mushroom Kingdom."
Geno finished using Geno Boost, and he passed the mixture over to Dr. Mario. Looking at the electric blue liquid inside, he gave Geno a nod of approval before uncorking the bottle to take a sniff. Despite the fact that his eyes were watering really badly from the smell, he closed the bottle and put it back in his medicinal fridge, with numerous bottles of the same drink placed in a neat row.
"That reminds me, Pichu needs its Pokérus vaccination soon."
Snake had finished carrying the kids to their rooms, and walked back into the bar to see Luigi having carefully taken apart his vacuum cleaner in order to empty out various shards of glass that had gotten stuck in there. Next to him, Mario had a look of sheepishness on his face, and motioned for Snake to head upstairs while he helped Luigi. Snake did so, and he found Dr. Mario and Geno waiting for him at the former's desk, and the latter said, "Ah, good day to you, Snake! Would you mind taking these to the Smashers downstairs?"
Dr. Mario pulled out a platter of numerous cups that contained an electric blue liquid and emanated a weird odor. As Snake pinched his nose in disgust, Dr. Mario said, "We had to use Tornado Tonion rings, that's why they smell like that, and you're also not drunk, so that's why the smell's more noticeable." Handing Snake a clothespin to pinch his nose with, Dr. Mario handed Snake the platter of drinks, and then sent him downstairs to give the drinks to the passed-out Smashers.
Wario woke up with a splitting headache, before catching a glimpse of Snake passing around a strange blue drink, a cup of which sat right in front of him. Not noticing anything wrong, he downed the drink in one gulp, and slowly, his senses began to return to him. Grabbing his hat, he walked out of the bar, most likely in search of some food. The Smashers that did consume alcohol, those being Isaac, Bayonetta, Fox, Falco and Samus among others, downed the drink without thinking twice, before they began to regain their senses by first retching in disgust and then making a break for the bathroom. Those who didn't, instead took one whiff of the drink and ran out of the bar because of the terrible smell. Dr. Mario watched the bar clear out with a look of amusement of his face, before pulling out the Poltergust 3000 and saying, "Well, I'd say you're dismissed, David. Enjoy the rest of the day, because Master Hand's most likely going to delay the tournament so that everyone can recover from last night's party."
Dr. Mario grabbed a nearby rag, and began using the Poltergust 3000 to spray water at the nearest stain to assist in cleanup.
So this marks the beginning of the oneshot series I mentioned all the way back in December.
There's a Mega Man X7 reference in there somewhere. As for Doc, the World of Light story I did establishes him as Mario's cousin. Isaac's 20, and Matthew's 17, hence why Isaac is drinking and Matt isn't.
