Damaged Heart: Prologue

In a city that almost never slept sat a boy on a rooftop. The boy sat alone looking very sad. He had on orange converse, blue cargo shorts very durable and an orange and yellow striped shirt. The only thing that popped out at you would be the pad on his shoulders. They were black and covered his shoulders on the outside of his shirt. It was the only protection he had. Lucas sat high on a rooftop as he usually does at night when he is troubled and wants to clear his mind. He looked at the city below shining lights in the building. The city's name was New Pork. It stretched for miles on miles. The horizon was so far that Lucas couldn't even see the end of the city. The building he sat on was flat and was easily one of the tallest buildings in the city next to the empire building, which sat at least two miles away and was enormous. He saw the few cars out driving around going home. He sighs.

"This city is one of the cruelest places I've ever known," Lucas thought.

In this city he was hunted and wanted not only because he resist the ruler of this city but because of his gift. Lucas has a power known as PSI a power that involves the mind. This power can become great and can increase the durability of that person. Lucas was indeed very powerful but never liked to use it or preferred not to. In this city PSI users are out laws and will either be killed on spot or captured. They even had special sensors used to track PSI users even when they're not using their powers. The pads on his shoulders are made to keep him below the radar, but cutting out his powers, but when he does remove them the power is incredible. The reason because his specific device strengthens his powers the more he wears them. A friend or more of an ally to Lucas gave them to him since he didn't like to have friends so he said. Lucas had only three being he could trust in this city. A thief, princess, and his dog, but even so that doesn't go a long way. No one can get close to him no one can get to know him, and quite frankly it would be dangerous to press the wrong button. Lucas is timid naturally, but he rarely lets that show anymore. His heart had become cold towards everyone and everything.

"I hate living like this but until I can take down this city then I have to deal with it," Lucas said.

He reached in his pocket then pulled out a smash symbol delivered to him by his dog that found it near the entrance of his underground home. Lucas destroyed the letter upon seeing it but instantly it reformed from its tears. Lucas could tell this was no ordinary letter and upon reading it he found out he had been invited to some tournament for fighters. He didn't trust it one bit but after reading the letter and receiving the badge he had to say it seemed legit. He gave his dog to the thief to watch in case he did decided to go. He looked out at the city again.

"Taking in the sites," said a voice. Lucas eyes widened in shock. Someone was standing behind him. He had on a mask showing on eye, and jacket that could sprout mechanical wings, brown cargo pants and boots. He also had an arm cannon on his right arm. Lucas stood up.

"How did you find me?" Lucas asked.

"Your sitting on the second most tallest building in the city," the boy remarked.

With his left arm he reached for his right shoulder then squeezed down on it. The pad opened up then flattens out then turned into a thin bar, which he put in his pocket.

"Only taking one off?" the boy asked.

"Only need to take off one," he replied facing the boy. The boy pointed his arm cannon at him then fired an orange beam. Lucas jumped to the left avoiding. The beam actually was a whip that the boy swung after Lucas. Lucas did a side flip over the whip. The boy brought his arm around then tried to slam the whip on Lucas, but he jumped out of the way and slamming into the building.

"I think your slipping Claus," Lucas said. Lucas charged Claus with great speed. Claus brought the whip around again, but again Lucas jumped doing a front flip.

With his back turned he waved his right hand sending out a white wave of energy. The attack seemed like it hit because it knocked him right off the roof. Lucas walked over to the edge to see. Right when he got there the boy came up and blasts him with his arm cannon. Lucas was sent flying right of the other end of the building. He pulled himself up back onto the building. "That attack hurt more then what it should have," Lucas thought struggling to stand up. "I'm still much stronger then you Lucas don't forget that," Claus said. Claus's eyes glowed as two energy copies burst out his body. They only had the same outline as him but were completely a red/orange color. One clone ran up to him then grabbed the back of his neck then forced his face into the ground.

He picked him up then threw him into the doorway to the rooftop. Lucas's body slammed into it creating a dent. The other clone used the its whip then brought it into Lucas's stomach. Lucas gasped before he fell to the ground. Then all three of them gang him with their whips beating his back. Lucas only had clenched his teeth.

"Come on Lucas I know you want to cry," said the original Claus.

"Cry, cry, cry, cry," said the clones. Lucas growled anger flushing over him. He refused to cry one drop, because showing such an emotion can make you weak. They all then stopped then the clones returned to Claus.

"It's sad that your heart is so cold Lucas how about I end it all huh how about that," Claus said. Lucas was on his hands and knees. He sent out another blast, but this time Lucas jumped back avoiding it.

"You didn't fully recover from your beating earlier today did you? I bet you didn't probably because you couldn't use your PSI, which you're not very good at. Kind of sad you have so much power that you can't control cause you have those things on," Claus said.

"You…don't have…a clue," Lucas said.

"Maybe your right, but then again I am you," Claus said. Claus sent the whip at Lucas again but Lucas jumped back avoiding it. The whip actually went farther into the building until it came out the other end. Lucas realized he was standing on the corner. Claus moved his arm making the whip go right through the building corner where Lucas was. Lucas tried to jump away but Claus blasted him making him plummet to the ground with the debris.

"See ya next fall!" Claus called. Lucas wouldn't survive a fall from this high up so he had to think fast. He reached in his pocket then pulled out the smash badge focused his heart on where he wanted to go.

"Lucas is joining the brawl," Lucas said. Then in a white light he disappeared.

He then found himself on the ground to what seemed like a field of flowers. He turned his head up toward the building in front of him. It resembled a mansion, but before he could get a look at it he felt himself start to drift off until he lost conciseness. Shortly after three beings came out the mansion.

"I'm ready for the matches when will they start?" asked one that looked like a blue hedgehog.

"Until all the smashers arrive said Master Hand," said one that looked like a blue jackal.

"Yeah and its only one too who ever this guy is he's pretty indecent to of not shown up yet," said a boy in a red cap. The jackal then stopped looking around.

"What's wrong Lucario?" asked the blue hedgehog.

"I sense someone in the garden," said Lucario. The blue hedgehog and the boy looked out and saw nothing until they took a second glance did they see a boy. They ran over to see. The blue hedgehog known as Sonic got there first and checked on the boy.

"He's unconscious but alive," he said.

"Look," said the red cap boy known as Ness picking up a badge.

"This must be the last smasher we better get him inside to see the doctor," said Lucario. They nodded then Sonic picked him up then with Lucario and Ness took him inside.
