I'm sure you read the chapter title. After my long long absence, I'm back to provide you with some news. Er… sorry, but no. The fanfic ISN'T being restored, it's being rebooted. I'll keep the same plot and ideas, but I'm going to start from the beginning so that I can fix some plot problems and update the characters. Anyway, here's the details on the characters, which is what I needed to fix. Five games are being represented in my fanfic, and they are involved in the Super Smash Bros. tournament.

Fire Emblem 7 (Note: Three years after the defeat of Nergal)

Lyn: Also known as Lyndis. She is the daughter of a nomadic chief and a Lycian noble. Lyn is a superb swordfighter and archer, but she is also knowledgeable in medicine and hunting. Lyn is stouthearted and kind, but is also protective of her friends, and has a strong competitive side. Her favorite sword is the Mani Katti, a katana which was designed to be able to cut through horse-bone and armor, making the user capable of taking on cavalry and armored units. She also carries a short bow which fires arrows at extremely high speeds. Despite its small size, it has a surprising range.

Her style: Go straight for the kill, waste no time.

Final Smash: You'll have to wait and see

Florina: A Pegasus Knight, a warrior woman who fights from a flying mount. Florina is surprisingly talented, despite her frail appearance. She is very shy and also can be a bit of a klutz. Despite this, she is a force to be reckoned with. Florina specializes in lances, but can also use swords.

Her style: Fluid and graceful attacks

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Note: One year after the war, before the events of Radiant Dawn)

Ike: A mercenary commander who is surprisingly strong for his appearance. Ike is somewhat of a simpleton at times, but is honest and straightforward. Although he seems extremely reckless at times, Ike is a talented tactician who knows when to strike and when to pull back. He uses a magical sword called Ragnell which is capable of creating shockwaves that can cut distant enemies.

His style: Pile on damage quickly

Final Smash: Grand Aether: Although in the actual game this will simply be a more powerful version of the Aether attack, Ike's Final Smash in my fanfic combines three sword techniques (His two criticals and then Aether)

Mist: Ike's sister. One of the Greil Mercenaries, Mist normally does the odd jobs and doesn't usually fight. However, she had a strong relationship with one of the mercenaries, Boyd, who taught her how to use bows. Mist can also use Staves for healing. She enjoys being helpful, but sometimes can overwork herself. Despite her mature act, Mist is still young and has some problems coping with the ugly reality she has to face at times. Especially revolving the deaths of her fellow mercenaries.

Her style: Aim between the eyes.

Devil May Cry (Note: This takes place after Devil May Cry 2, but characters are based on their anime appearances)

Dante: A mercenary who hunts demons for a living. Dante is half-demon himself, one of the twin Sons of Sparda, Sparda being a legendary devil swordsman that once waged war against his own kind in attempt to free humanity. Dante is fast to get the job done, but is exceptionally lazy and tends to get debts piled up. He is also noted for only eating junk food. Despite this, he is incredibly skilled with his sword Rebellion, and his two handguns Ebony and Ivory.

His style: Overkill

Final Smash: Stylish: Dante performs a huge combo with either his guns, or whichever weapon he happens to be carrying.

Lady: Like Dante, she is a devil hunting mercenary. But, unlike Dante, she is almost pure business and has little leisure time (However, despite her tomboyish act, she gets violent whenever someone messes up her clothes or hair). Lady is easily recognized by the scar on her nose and her eyes, both of which are different colors. She carries around two USPs, an M1911, and a Scorpion submachine gun, as well as her signature gun Kalina Ann, a missile launcher with several functions. She traveled to the Smash Bros. tournament with Dante mostly out of curiosity.

Her style: Overkill

Metal Gear Solid (Note: After Sons of Liberty, before Guns of the Patriots)

Solid Snake: A legendary mercenary and former member of Unit FOXHOUND. Snake is a man of several habits. He is an extreme gun enthusiast, seems to have a strange love for cardboard boxes, a fan of dog sledding, and a chain smoker. However, he is also a genius and a martial artist, capable of completing even the dirtiest of sneaking missions. Snake is also noted for a strange headband that he wears, that seems to give him an endless supply of pistol clips and grenades.

His style: Absolute control, don't let the enemy get a firm stance, disrupt and kill

Final Smash: Arial Support: Snake calls in a helicopter fires a grenade launcher from inside.

Otacon: Real name Hal Emmerich. An eccentric weapons developer who joins Snake in an effort to put an end to a nuclear equipped battle tank called Metal Gear. Otacon himself developed one of the most powerful Metal Gear frames, known as Metal Gear REX. However, he also perfected the Stealth Camouflage technology which he and Snake both use. Despite his nerdy appearance, Otacon is tough and can get a job that is assigned to him done. However, he cannot use weapons. Otacon is one of the few men to have even less luck in love than Solid Snake.

Legend of Zelda (Note: One year after Twilight Princess)

Link: Known as the "Hero of Time," Link is a swordsman who hails from a farm village called Ordon. Link is a sure-shot with a bow and also talented in an ancient blade martial art. He uses his acrobatic skills and quick wit in order to dispose of enemies, and has several tools for different situations. Link is surprisingly strong for his appearance. Personality-wise, Link tends to be quiet, but is very friendly and mature. However, he is easily worried. Link is protective of his friends, and of his horse Epona.

His style: Be prepared for any situation (Combat Boy Scout!!!)

Final Smash: Faroe's Judgment: Link carries a Triforce mark on his hand which is an indication of his bloodline. Link uses that Triforce power to seal his enemies in a trigram and begins a relentless sword attack.

Ilia: Link's lover. A girl from Link's village who was kidnapped by a group of Moblins. During the events of Twilight Princess, Ilia ended up concussed and amnesic, but eventually regained her memories with Link's help. Afterwards, the two became closer than before. Ilia is the daughter of Ordon's mayor, and so she rarely does any dirty work like Link does. However, she is a skilled crafter, and is also good with horses. She is also known to be fierce when angered.

The Plot: BRAWL is the third Super Smash Brothers tournament (Think Tekken or Mortal Kombat), and has been known to summon warriors from different worlds and times. The first tournament, simply called Smash Bros., was won by a previous Hero of Time. The second was won by a prince from Altea. But now, the third tournament has a new committee in charge. This enigmatic group has once again summoned warriors, but more than just the usual limit. There was also a new rule: Fighters must bring one traveling partner with them. As warriors from all over time and space receive their invitations and move to fight, the planets themselves seem to shudder at the great gathering. But, what is at the head of it all? And what is the prize? And why am I asking you? You're the reader, I'm the writer. I'm the one that knows all these answers. You want em? Read and get them!

The first chapter will probably be posted on the same day as this authors note. Once the first chapter is up, I will erase the old chapters (I've saved them, don't worry. I'll re-post any requested chapter from the old version) and then probably update on a weekly basis. Any fight requests or death threats that I may receive because someone didn't make it should be posted in your reviews. Also, try to be creative and constructive with the reviews and threats. That being said, get ready to have your socks blown off. Soryujo out!
