Chapter 1 - Invasion of Grimms

It was a very peaceful day in the world of Smash. Every location is peaceful looking: The Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Yoshi's Island and even Green Hill Zone. All of this places looks peaceful as if nothing happened. Master Hand can be seen observing these locations through the hologram in Final Destination.

"Hmm...Everything is peaceful at last." He said. "But how long before another tragedy strikes again?"

He then looks at the Mushroom Kingdom U stage, where Princess Peach, Zelda, Rosalina and Lucina are fighting against one another.

"Ah, the battle of the princesses!" Master Hand stated. "This ought to be fun!"

However, he saw something unusual in the stage. Above them was a portal that he never seen before.

"I don't remember that portal being around there..." Master Hand said as he takes a closer look.

Their fight was interrupted when Peach saw the portal above them.

"Hey, what's that?" Peach asked as she looks and points at the sky.

"Is that...a portal?" Lucina wondered.

"Yes. And I can sense something coming out of it." Zelda stated.

On the portal comes the appearance of a black wolf-like creatures. The appearance of these creatures makes Master Hand horrified.

"It can't be..." Master Hand was shocked. "The Grimms..."

"W-What is that thing?!" Peach was litteraly scared by the appearance of these wolf creatures.

"I don't know, but I can tell that they're not friendly." Zelda answered.

"Well, whatever it is, we can't let them scorch this land!" Lucina declared.

"Right." Rosalina said as she prepares to fight them.

The four princesses charged to the incoming Grimms. Master Hand saw them fighting the Grimms and to his surprise, they were able to defeat them. However, their victory was short-lived as more of them arrived.

"This can't be good. If they keep this up..." Master Hand was worried about the situation.

However, the Mushroom Kingdom was not the only one with a portal, as Master Hand saw other places getting invaded by the Grimms.

"Oh, no! Other places have been invaded, as well." Master Hand was shocked by the portals appearing in other locations.

In Gaur Plains, Shulk, Robin, Cloud and Roy are all fighting against raven-like creatures.

"What are these creatures?" Roy asked the group as he attacks one of them.

"I have no idea." Robin answered for Roy as he also attacked them.

"Is this one of Master Hand's tricks?" Shulk asked.

"No, I don't think so. Remember that he became a good guy after we destroyed Master Core..." Robin explained.

"Well, there's no time to explain right now. Let's just eliminate them!" Cloud said.

In Onett, Ness, Lucas, the Villager and Little Mac are fighting against the wolf creatures.

"You know, I didn't expect this would happen." Lucas said to the other group.

"Yeah, me neither." The Villager nodded.

"Well, we have to destroy them if they threaten this town." Ness said.

"Whatever you do, Mac, don't get reckless." Doc Louis told Mac. "Those monsters are nothing like I've seen before."

"I got this, Doc." Mac said as he managed to use his KO Punch on one of the Grimms.

Onboard the Halberd ship, Meta Knight, Ike, Marth and Link are all fighting against the Grimms.

"Did Master Hand fall into evil again?" Marth asked.

"No. He wouldn't do this to any of us..." Meta Knight answered.

"I agree. Besides, he's been a good guy ever since we destroyed Master Core." Ike said.

"If it's not him, then who?" Marth asked.

"We'll find out from Master Hand himself once we wiped out this creatures." Meta Knight said.

There were several other places getting invaded by the Grimms. In Dreamland, Kirby and King Dedede all tried their best to defend the land from the Grimms. Then, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong fought Grimms in the Gangplank Galleon, with Yoshi assisting them. And finally in the Skyland, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena and Bayonetta can be seen fighting against a Boarbusk.

"I wasn't expecting this to be a welcome party for me." Bayonetta commented.

"Just shut up and help us take this giant thing out!" Dark Pit was annoyed by Bayonetta's comment.

"Alright then. I'm an expert when it comes to fighting these kinds of monsters." Bayonetta said.

"Any help would be appreciated, Bayonetta." Palutena happily said.

"Well, let's get started!" Pit shouted.

The four fighters charged at the big Grimm. Meanwhile, back in Final Destination, Master Hand was horrified that the Grimms have invaded the entire Smash world.

"This is bad! Grimms are everywhere!" Master Hand said as he panics.

However, he saw that one of those stages hasn't invaded by Grimms yet. In the Battlefield stage, there were four combatants ready to fight. Those fighters were Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Ryu.

"Alright, now that we're-a here, let's fight!" Mario said.

"I've been waiting for this match-up to happen." Mega Man stated.

"I agree with Mega Man here." Sonic said.

"This ought to be an interesting fight." Ryu said to the group.

"Whatever, let's fight already!" Sonic said as he becomes impatient.

But before they could even trade punches, a portal suddenly appeared above them.

"A portal?" Ryu was curious.

"What's a portal doing in here?" Mega Man was curious as well.

"I've got a bad-a feeling about this..." Mario felt uneasy when he saw a portal.

Then, different kinds of Grimms appeared on the field.

"Whoa! That's one big monster!" Sonic commented.

"What are those?" Ryu asked.

"I don't know. I have-a never seen these before." Mario answered.

"Well, they don't look friendly to me..." Mega Man said as he noticed that the Grimms prepared to face them.

"Then let's give them a fight they'll never forget!" Sonic declared.

The four fighters charged towards the Grimm army. After defeating the first wave, they noticed that the portal is still here.

"Huh. The portal is still here." Sonic said.

"That means there still more of them." Ryu guessed.

And he was right, as more Grimms start to appear from the portal. They fight once again...

"Is there any way to destroy that portal?" Sonic asked the group.

"I have-a no idea." Mario answered.

"What about you, Mega Man?" Sonic asked Mega Man.

"No. I don't have a weapon that can stop a portal." Mega Man said as he defeats one of the Grimms with a fully-charged Mega Buster.

"Well, that sucks." Sonic said as he attacks one of the Grimms with his Homing Attack.

After defeating the 2nd wave, then comes another wave of Grimms.

"They just won't stop!" Mega Man said as he attacks one of them.

"I really hope this is-a last of them." Mario said as he jumps one on it's head.

"I don't think this will stop." Ryu said as he punched one of them.

After defeating the current waves of Grimms, they saw a portal disappearing...

"The portal, it's gone." Ryu said.

"Oh, thank god. I was hoping that would stop." Sonic huffed.

"At least we're still here." Mega Man said.

"Yeah. Anyways, we should-a inform this to Master Hand." Mario has an idea.

Soon, the portals appearing in other locations have also disappeared as well, which makes Master Hand relieved.

"Good. The portals are gone...for now." Master Hand stated. "Now, I must gather everyone on what's happening."

1 Hour Later...

In the Final Destination, all of the fighters are all gathered around the stage. Then, Master Hand appears...

"Alright, everyone! You know exactly why I brought you here." Master Hand announced.

"It's about those monster we fought, isn't it?" Robin guessed.

"Yes. Those 'monsters' you've fought are called Grimm. They came from another world known as Remnant." Master Hand explained.

"And you know them because...?" Cloud said.

"I've been into their world before." Master Hand added.

"So, what do we do to stop them from appearing in this world?" Lucina asked Master Hand.

"I want a group of four to go to Remnant and investigate on who's responsible for bringing Grimms into our world." Master Hand explained.

"And who would be those-a four?" Mario asked.

"I have already decided that. And that would be..." Master Hand said before pulling a piece of paper. "Mario, Sonic, Ryu and...Mega Man!"

"Huh. That's a weird list..." Shulk commented.

"The rest of you, you can return to whatever it is you're doing right now." Master Hand informed the others.

And with that, the other fighters left the Final Destination through the gateway leading to other locations of Smash, except the four that Master Hand mentioned.

"So, why did you exactly picked-a us?" Mario asked Master Hand.

"Yeah, it's a little bit random, isn't it?" Sonic added.

"No, I did not chose you by random. I chose you because I saw your battles with the Grimm." Master Hand explained.

"So, you're saying that we're better in handling those Grimms than the others?" Ryu guessed.

"From what I can see, yes." Master Hand nodded.

"I guess that make sense." Sonic scratches his head.

"Now, there's no time to waste! You must go there and investigate!" Master Hand told the group to go.

"Before we do that, I just have one more question..." Mega Man said as he raised his hand.

"What is it, Mega Man?" Master Hand asked.

"If we enter the world of Remnant, where shall we go from there?" Mega Man states his question.

"It's really up to you where to go from there." Master Hand answered his question.

"Okay..." Mega Man nodded as he lowers his hand down.

And after that, Master Hand flicks a finger and a portal appears in front of them.

"Now, go!" Master Hand ordered the four. "I can't keep this portal open for long."

"Okie-dokie! Let's-a go, everyone!" Mario declared.

With that, the four warriors all stepped into the portal and after all four had entered the portal, Master Hand flicks a finger once again and the portal disappears.

"Good luck. You're the only ones who can save the world of Smash." Master Hand said before observing the locations of Smash again.
