CHAPTER 1: THE LETTER
This is my first fic, so go easy on me. The chapters will get longer, this is just a prologue of sorts. I do not own Super Smash Bros. or any of the other games mentioned. So anyways…
CHAPTER 1: THE LETTER
Ike arrived at the Smash Fortress with absolutely no idea of what to expect. He was a teenage boy of about 18 years and carried a large golden sword in addition to his luggage, his large muscles straining under the additional weight, his short, spiky blue hair waving in the gentle breeze. Just days ago, he had been at home in Crimea when he received a mysterious letter. It had said,
"Congratulations Sir Ike Greil of Crimea. Having shown considerable talent in the form of close combat, you have distinguished yourself internationally as a famous general and fighter. The Super Smash League (SSL) has found you worthy of enrolment. Should you choose to accept, respond to this letter at the address found at the end and the SSL will arrange a transport for you to arrive.
Signed,
Master Hand, League Coordinator
1st Pl., Mushroom Kingdom"
The letter had come as quite a shock to Ike. He had obviously heard of the SSL (who in the world hadn't?), the elite fighting league founded 2 years ago whose international popularity had skyrocketed overnight, but had never really payed it any attention. He did remember his longtime friend Marth receiving a similar invitation. Marth had accepted and had left for the Mushroom Kingdom shortly thereafter. Ike had given it some thought and decided that he would at least check it out, figuring he would be able to leave if he didn't find it to his liking.
He had written back to the Master Hand in acceptance and received a letter back saying transport to the Mushroom Kingdom would arrive in 3 days time. Ike traveled around Crimea for those 3 days saying goodbye to all of his friends, spending a much longer time with Princess Elincia, as there were political matters to consider in his departure. After making his rounds, he packed all necessary items in a bag and left for the docks, Ragnell in hand.
The boat ride to the Mushroom Kingdom had been relatively quick, and he arrived about a week later. He had then followed the directions enclosed in the letter and arrived a day later at 1st Pl. with no idea what was in store for him. The walls of the fortress loomed in front of him.
"Well, it's now or never," gulped Ike, and he slowly walked through the gates.
END CHAPTER 1
Yay, Chapter 1 finished. I'll try to put these out every other day or so.
