Super Smash Brotherhood
Hello and welcome dear readers. After a long hiatus, it is finally time to introduce to all of you, a story that has been drafted, checked, and collecting dust in the recesses of my computer files and my mind.
Super Smash Brotherhood
To all of you who have waited patiently for this story my most sincere apologies for the wait. To those of you who may be reading my stories for the first time you are in for a treat.
Speaking of old fans, it is fair to warn you. This story, though largely staying true to my style of writing (I'd hope so), will take a darker turn of events than previous stories. There are parts you will most definitely think 'Nintendogeek01 are you out of your mind!?!' and there are parts you will find shocking and stupefying, and parts you most likely will get mad at me for. But whatever you read is how it was intended to be written.
Any resemblance to any other multi-crossover stories that other authors on have written, are entirely coincidental. This story has been planned for months and years by now and as such is an original idea (as original as fan fiction can get anyways).
Read and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over any characters or other themes in this story, save for original characters and themes by myself.
…A Smashing Beginning…
At first the area is completely dark, but shortly a bright spotlight flickered on and revealed a giant, floating, right-handed glove with a bow-tie at its wrist beneath its palm. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Smash Dimension!" Master Hand's voice echoed. "We have come a long way, bearing witness to the struggles, trials and tribulations of our competitors here at the Smash Tournament! And now we shall see our finalists trade fists of fury… for this week's tournament champion!!!"
"Yeeeeeah!"
"So cool!"
"Hooooooraaaaaaaayyy!!"
After the audience roars began to die down, light illuminated the arena stage, floating in mid-air in full view of a stadium audience.
"Our first finalist, a veteran to the Smash Brothers ever since the rise of the Alliance, ace soldier and operative, give your attention and salutes to Solid Snake!" Master Hand gestured to one side of the arena, where Solid Snake, in his body-armored suit, five o'clock shadow, and holstered weaponry stood doing stretches.
"Show time." Snake said.
"Snake shall face off against one of the Smash Brother's newest members, you may know him as, the blue blur, the fastest thing alive, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Master Hand gestured to the bipedal, sneaker-wearing blue hedgehog that we all know, break-dancing and eventually ending with him laying on his side.
"Come on, this'll be a piece of cake." Sonic taunted.
"Don't count on it blue boy." Snake said as he finished his stretches and stood ready to move at a moment's notice.
"Solid Snake won the off-stage coin toss and as such the final battle-ground shall be… debris!" The arena, save for the outer-ring that Snake and Sonic were waiting on fell into the abyss below the arena, and soon a new battle-field levitated into the outer-ring to occupy the vacant space. A city that had been nearly bombed to oblivion would be the best way to describe this battle-field, with torn concrete ground, ruined remnants of buildings, and one two story building that looked ready to collapse.
"3…" Master Hand began to count. Sonic crouched low, ready to burst forward.
"2…" Snake pulled out a few round objects and clutched them in his hand.
"1…" Both opponents glared at each other.
"Fight!"
"Woohoo!" Sonic burst forward, zooming towards Snake.
"Hm." Snake tossed the round balls at the ground ahead of him, creating a large smoke screen upon hitting the ground. Soon both opponents disappeared into the smoke.
"Hey we can't see what's going on! What will happen in there?" Master Hand asked.
BAM SMACK POW
"Ungh!" Sonic came flying out of the smoke, into the side of the two story building.
"Ha!" Snake rushed forward and nearly stomped his foot on Sonic's head had Sonic not rolled under Snake in time. Snake swept his leg to try and hit Sonic, instead Sonic flipped over him and landed against the wall of the building.
"Too slow!" Sonic then began wall jumping to each of the ruined walls around the arena until he tackled Snake from behind.
"Oomph!" Before Snake could react Sonic grabbed him, jumped into the air while spinning like a ball.
"Ha!" He then hurled Snake towards the edge of the arena. "Ha ha!"
KABOOM
"Whoa!" Sonic was then blown away by an explosion from a grenade that was left at his feet.
"Close but no cigar." Snake managed to stop himself from sliding off the edge of the arena, pulled out a rocket launcher and fired a single rocket at Sonic.
"That can't catch me." Sonic landed and quickly began running from the rocket, which to his surprise began following him. "Huh? Whoa!" Sonic turned a corner and eventually lost the rocket. "Hey where'd you go?" Sonic looked around not finding Snake anywhere in sight.
BAM
"Whoa!" A sniper bullet narrowly whizzed over Sonic's head.
"Damn." Snake cursed.
"There eh?" Sonic immediately zipped towards the two story building, just as he went in, Snake jumped out the window.
"A bit simple-minded today huh Sonic?" Snake pulled out a switch and pressed the button on it.
KABOOM
"Whoa! Snake just destroyed the building! But what of Sonic!?" Master Hand asked.
"Kiyah!" Sonic hurtled from the rubble and rammed into Snake, curled into a ball.
"Umph!" Sonic was then in the air and hurtled himself at Snake once again, this time Snake blocked him with his arm and grabbed his leg. Snake slammed Sonic into the ground and had a fist drawn back ready to bring it down on Sonic.
"Ha!" Sonic pulled his foot out of Snake's grip and performed a sweep kick that knocked Snake into the air, followed by Sonic curling into a ball and jumping straight up into Snake's abdomen.
"Gah!" Snake was knocked a fair ways back. "Now."
KABOOM
"Yeow! Hot hot hot!" Sonic's foot exploded from the underside and badly burnt his foot.
"Hrah!" Snake ran back and landed a flying kick that sent Sonic flying back towards the edge of the arena.
"…" Sonic immediately curled into a ball, and once he landed, he zipped back towards Snake and rammed him. This time Snake blocked Sonic and skid backwards with him a few feet before they broke off. "Here we go."
"Heh." The two lunged back at each other began a fast exchange of close-quarters combat. Sonic's swift attacks were going toe-to-toe with Snake's superior skill in close combat, beating each other, dodging, blocking, and countering. Snake finally broke off and threw a grenade at Sonic.
"Not this time!" Sonic quickly did a flip-kick and kicked the grenade back at Snake.
KABOOM
"Bested by his own grenade? No wait! Something's coming out of the smoke!" Master Hand announced to the roaring audience. Snake was clinging to a sky camera that was taking off while he held over his shoulder a small rocket launcher.
"Last chance…" Snake released his grip on the camera, and aimed the rocket launcher as he fell back down towards Sonic.
"Hmmmm…" Sonic curled up and rolled in place for several seconds as Snake fell closer and closer to the ground. "Ready… GO!" Sonic hurled himself towards Snake right as Snake fired the rocket launcher.
KABOOM
Several minutes later the crowd was sitting in anticipation. "Hey why'd the lights go off!?"
"Who won!?"
"Snake! Snake! Snaaaaaaaaaake!"
"Sorry to turn the lights off dear audience…" Master Hand said as the spotlight revealed his presence once again. "The winner of this battle is…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
The spot-light shined on a single floating podium, glistening in the light.
"Sonic the Hedgehog!!!" Master Hand announced.
"Sonic's the name, speed's my game!" Sonic taunted on the podium as he gave a thumbs up to the audience.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!"
"Sonic! Sonic! Sonic!"
"You the man!"
"Let us all give a round of applause for all of our Super Smash Brothers!!!" Master Hand declared as the lights all illuminated on the stage to reveal the entire line-up of the Smash Bros., all lined up and applauding, some more begrudgingly than others. "And a special congratulations to Sonic the Hedgehog, for a spectacular performance during this tournament!" Master Hand congratulated.
"Thank you all for coming, the tournament shall once again re-open in two weeks! Your participation is once again appreciated! Good night!" Master Hand blared to the audience.
-
"Ah… nothing like the week in between tournaments." Master Hand sighed, resting on his giant cushion relaxing. It was a few days after the last tournament, and Master Hand was taking some well deserved rest and relaxation. "… that's odd, this is usually when Crazy comes in and…"
"LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" A left-handed glove then came flying into the room, throwing himself into the wall, and making a loud thud.
"I knew it…" Master Hand sighed.
"Hey bro! What're we doing today!? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Crazy Hand badgered as he flew around Master Hand.
"Crazy… I have a few hours before I have to call the remaining smashers to plan next week's tournament, and you're still here badgering me…" Master Hand sighed.
"Yeah yeah… wait, REMAINING SMASHERS!?!" Crazy Hand suddenly flew into a panic. "Oh why couldn't it have been me!? Whyyyyy!?! They were too young!! Well okay some of them aren't that young… but WHYYYYYYYY!?!"
"CRAZY!!!" Master Hand then slapped his brother. "In case you've forgotten, Mario, went with Luigi, Diddy, DK, Link, Peach, and T. Link on a vacation cruise… they're not dead…" Master Hand told Crazy.
"Oh… why didn't they invite me…?" Crazy asked with his most pathetic voice.
"I almost wish they did…" Master Hand sighed.
-
Somewhere in the Great Ocean, Mario and friends were all on board a pleasant cruise. "Ah…" Mario sighed. He was resting on a lawn chair, placed comfortably on the deck of a really large ship. Mario was in his usual attire, save for his normal red shirt being replaced by a red t-shirt, sunglasses, and a light blue jacket with shine sprites on the pattern.
"I-a have to-a say Mario, this-a was a good idea." Luigi said, wearing his usual attire, replaced with the t-shirt and added to by the same sunglasses and jacket. "No-a planning tournaments-a, no-a random hiking trips from-a Nana and-a Popo… just-a relaxation-a…"
"Mm-hm… it's-a good to-a get away every once-a in a while-a…" Mario replied.
"I can't believe they made a ship this big…" T. Link was leaning over the port side of the ship close to where Mario and Luigi were relaxing. The ship itself was put together with several wooden planks like ships from several years back. But it was nonetheless large enough to carry a large crowd of people, and its steam-driven paddle engine kept the ship moving
"…I can't believe this is what happens to Hyrule…" Link was in his blue tunic, weeping over the same side as T. Link. "Trapped underneath an ocean…" Link whined.
"Don't worry… probably one of those… alternate future things Master Hand was talking about…" T. Link said, trying to cheer Link up.
"…But alternate futures stem from the same past don't they…?" Link replied, even more depressed than before.
"… well I've got nothing… I'll go take a look below deck." T. Link then walked off.
"Oo oo ah?" Diddy asked T. Link, coming up behind him.
"I hear that bunches of smaller ships are actually below deck!" T. Link said excitedly.
"Hmmmm…" DK was looking at a puck and the shuffleboard in front of him curiously.
"Shuffleboard isn't that hard of a sport DK…" A man in a jacket and rainbow colored tie told him.
"Hmm…" DK grunted at Ron Host before he turned back to the board.
"Um… I'm flattered, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now…" Peach said, she was in a lighter pink dress than usual and had a umbrella with her.
"Oh…" The man she was talking to was somewhat tall, with a large blue jacket, a long face, and a goatee. He walked off looking a bit depressed.
"Excuse me…"
"Oh!" Peach turned around and was a bit surprised to find a dark-skinned man with a beak and wings flying behind her. "You're… one of those Rito postmen right?"
"Yes, miss. Perchance are the Smash Bros. on this ship?" The postman asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask?" Peach asked, a little confused and surprised.
"I was given a letter to give to anyone from the Smash Bros." The postman replied.
"Well, I can take it I suppose… I'm part of them after all." She said with a smile.
"Wonderful, here you go." The postman then gave Peach a dark colored envelope before flying off.
"Hmmm…" Peach opened the envelope and took a look at the letter for a bit. After a few seconds she gasped and quickly closed the letter. "What… what could this mean?" She wondered, gripping her umbrella tightly.
SMACK
"Ah!" Peach gasped when a black puck suddenly hit her umbrella and knocked it out of her hand.
"Mama-mia! DK! That's-a not how you play-a shuffle board-a!" Mario yelled.
"Sorry…" DK muttered with a sheepish grin.
"…" Peach shook off the surprise and continued to look out to sea with a nervous look in her eyes.
-
"Aaaaaaaaahhh…" The next morning, DK was the only one out on deck that early in the morning. He looked out at the ocean from the starboard side of the ship. "Hmmmm…aaaaaaaawwww…" DK yawned and took a big stretch with his right arm high up in the air.
BAM
"… hm?" DK casually looked at the palm of his right hand, and right there resting in his hand was a bullet bill. "Huh?" DK looked out at sea and slowly but surely saw bullet bill after bullet bill flying at the boat. "Aaaaaoooooo!" DK quickly took the bullet bill he accidentally caught and hurled it at one of the bullet bills.
KABOOM
"Mama-mia… what's-a going on-a this morning-a?" Luigi came out of his cabin followed slowly by Mario. "Mama-mia!!! Mario!!!" Luigi immediately darted back into his cabin upon seeing the bullet bills flying at the ship.
"Whoa!" Quick on the uptake, Mario jumped towards the starboard side of the ship and prepared a bunch of fireballs in his hands. "Hiyah! Ha ha!" Mario began hurling fireball after fireball at the bullet bills.
"Oh!" DK had his coconut cannon in hand and was blasting away at each bullet bill.
"What's the commotion?" Link asked as he came to the deck with T. Link and Diddy.
"Look!" T. Link shouted.
"Ah! What are we standing here for let's go!" Link pulled out his bow and arrow and began shooting down bullet bills with Mario and DK.
"Ah ah ah!" Diddy and T. Link were quick to join as they continued defending the ship from the bullet bills.
"What's going on?"
"Ah! We're under attack!" Other cruise ship guests soon clambered about, as if trying to hide from the bullet bills that were flying straight at them.
"Where are these coming from?" T. Link asked, still shooting them down as they came.
"I don't know but we can't keep this up forever!" Link yelled back.
"DK! Throw-a me!" Mario held his yellow cape in one hand and held out the other hand to DK.
"Hm? Oh! Okay!" DK grabbed Mario's free hand and began spinning around and around before he released Mario, spinning through the air towards the bullet bills.
"Wahaaaaaaa!!!" Mario managed to deflect most of the bullet bills and hover back up to above the ship's dock with the aid of his cape until he safely landed back on the starboard side. "Phew-a…"
"Hey they're slowing down!" T. Link shouted.
"Whew…" Diddy sighed.
"Wait something's coming into view." Link said. True to his words, something that appeared to be a ship was approaching, and fast.
"Is it over-a?" Luigi asked, peeking back out from his cabin.
"Oh no… I don't-a think it is-a…" Mario said.
"What's going on?"
"I'm outta here!"
"Noooo… my vacation's ruined…" Ron Host groaned.
"Mario, is-a that-a what I-a think it is-a?" Luigi asked as the ship turned its port side towards the ship.
"Yes-a, I told you about-a this-a ship haven't I-a?" Mario asked. The ship that they were talking about was a large, metallic ship. The most outstanding feature about this ship though was the bow, which had a very large axe-blade with eyes on the side looking at the cruise ship.
"Eh?" Diddy looked at Mario.
"Yes-a, I've-a seen this ship before-a…" Mario sighed.
"Long time no smell Mario!" The smashers looked at the blade ship and found five silhouettes looking at them. All five of them were robotic in appearance, with spikes on top of their heads, and tube-shaped mouths, but all five of them varied in different ways.
The red one in the center with a shield and one-handed axe struck a pose. "We fight for evil!"
The shorter black one with shades and axe blades on his arms and legs also posed. "We live for disorder!"
The pink one with a pink orb at the tip of her pole-axe posed. "We struggle for chaos!"
The taller green one with an electric orb at the tip of his pole-axe posed. "We like what we do!"
The yellow, large, and bulky one with the largest axe finally posed. "We are…"
"The Axem Rangers M!!!" A bunch of smoke clouds behind them exploded, matching their respective colors.
"…" This was met with a bunch of blank stares.
"Mario! Don't think we've forgotten about what you did to us!" Axem red shouted, pointing his axe at Mario.
"Wait a minute-a… you look-a different-a somehow-a." Mario noticed that all of the Axem rangers had a lot more proportionate limbs, and overall a more sleek look. Another difference from the Axem Rangers Mario remembered was that they all had a large white "M" on their right chest.
"You like? We got upgrades!" Axem black yelled.
"Yeah! Hooking up with our ne…" Yellow began to say before Green jammed him in the stomach.
"Shut-up you lummox!" Green yelled.
"Oh…" Yellow groaned.
"What did he just say?" Link asked.
"Nothing!" Pink yelled.
"Now… as we were saying… it's time for payback Mario!" Red yelled.
"Wait-a! Why-a out of-a the blue like-a this-a?" Mario asked, trying to stall for time.
"Yeah you could've waited until he was alone and you out-numbered him!" T. Link yelled.
"That's-a not-a helping…" Luigi muttered.
"Ah oo oo oo ah!" Diddy chattered.
"Yeah, Peach and I-a battled them-a before-a." Mario said.
"… huh? Peach?" DK looked around.
"Hey he's right, where is Peach?" T. Link asked.
"I'm sure you remember the breaker beam right Mario?" Axem Red asked. A metallic, dome head appeared out of the top of the Blade. Its red eyes looked at the ship, and its mouth opened up, showing that energy was gathering in its mouth. "At the count of ten you're going down with the ship!" Red threatened.
"Oh no-a!" Mario gasped.
"1…"
"Stop him!" Diddy yelled angrily.
"2…"
"Can we stop that?" Link asked.
"3…"
"Nuh-uh…" DK shook his head.
"Ah what the heck… 10! Say good-night!"
"MAMA-MIAAAAAAAAA!!!"
…Notes…
Starts off with a bit of a bang eh? Read and review and the next chapter will come soon.
