A/N: Just to clarify before I start. This is my first story so please don't hate it too much because I tried my best to make this interesting. This takes place in SSB Brawl after the Subspace Emissary. Not Ultimate because I don't want to keep track of so many characters, and I loved the Subspace Emissary since it got released. Hope you enjoy!
The Power of a Voice
Prologue (Part 1):
The World of Smash. A place where many people watch the exciting Super Smash Tournament. Where both heroes and villains from multiple worlds come from. Characters from the Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Altea, the Lylat System, Mobius, Kanto, and many other worlds coming to join the battle. Currently a match between Mario, Samus, Marth, and Sonic was occuring at Final Destination. Sparks flew, and tensions were high.
Marth swung his sword upward toward Samus, but she dodged and countered with a shot from her plasma cannon. Marth smoothly went out of its line of fire but it hit Mario instead. Mario recovered quickly only to have barely miss Sonic's charged Spin Dash. Sonic got out of his signature move and swiftly ducked under Marth's sword swing and went toward Samus and roundhoused her. Samus was flown off the edge but made a close recovery as she grabbed onto the ledge.
The Smash Ball finally appeared and all four competitors went for the ball. But Sonic, being the Fastest Thing Alive, grabbed it and turned into Super Sonic, taking out the remaining three.
The winner is: SONIC!
"That's how it's done," Sonic said as he struck his victory pose. The Mario, Samus, and Marth were clapping. After that, they all exited the stage simulator where the stages are created. And they were greeted by a handful of Smashers.
"Good match Sonic," Mario said to his fellow rival.
"Thanks dude, that was one exciting match," Sonic replied, giving Mario a fist bump.
"I still think you had an unfair advantage to get that Smash Ball," Falco, who was in the room, stated bluntly.
"Come on really, Master Hand reduces my speed in battles."
"Even with that you're still able to outrun all of us."
"I believe we've all been reduced in some fashion in battles," Zelda said.
"How so?"
"Well, I know Ganondorf's magic has decreased slightly, DK's strength is also a bit weaker, and all the villains are being kept at closer watch than most of us, ever since the Subspace Emissary," Samus replied. After that conversation, everyone went on their way to do their own thing.
*Later at night*
All the Smashers were sound asleep, until an alarm sounded off. "INTRUDER ALERT IN THE SECRET VAULT, INTRUDER ALERT IN THE SECRET VAULT!" Everyone got up to find the infiltrator, but they didn't know where to start.
"The alarm said 'at the secret vault'? I didn't know we had one," Ike said.
"Neither did we," Ness said referring to the Original 12. Then, Master Hand showed up.
"Master Hand, what's going on?" Mario asked.
"There's no time to explain we have to get down to the vault, follow me," MH quickly explained.
"Fine, but we better get an explanation once we're done," Captain Falcon said as he and the rest of the Smashers followed behind MH.
When they arrived they saw a mysterious person holding a dark brown wooden chest with a golden rim around the keyhole. The person wore a black robe with a hood that draped over their face. The Smashers were all in their ready positions in case of a fight.
"Alright, give up the box and things won't get messy," Fox said with his gun aimed.
"Do you even know what it is I'm 'stealing'?" the mystery person asked slightly frustrated. Due to the sound of their voice, it sounded like a female.
"Nah lady, but either way you're trespassing," Pit replied.
"Gah! I don't have time for this." With that she created a portal and threw the chest into the portal.
"Now no one gets it." She threw a smoke bomb at the Smashers and made her escape through a different portal. Toon Link did the honors of blowing the rest of the smoke away with his boomerang. After seeing that the mystery person wasn't around, all heads turned to Master Hand for answers.
"Master Hand what did she steal?" Lucario asked sternly.
"And why did you not tell any of us about this?" Samus also asked annoyed that he didn't say anything, even to the Original 12.
"Very well, I'll tell you now. Honestly, I was about to tell you the next morning since it was finally completed. It was a creation I was working on called the Smash Bracelet."
"Smash Bracelet?" everyone asked.
"Yes, it was made to help anyone in a situation that requires a specific person. The Smash Bracelet has everyone's powers contained inside so when someone wears it you can get a fellow Smasher's powers. For example, we know Ike or Sonic doesn't have long range attacks, so if they need to attack something out of reach they can summon something like Pit's bow or Samus' pistol. Or if you need an assistance, you can call upon Pikmin or even Squirtle, Charizard, or Ivysaur," Master Hand explained.
"So basically it's an accessory with Kirby's powers," Wolf said. Kirby nodded with agreement.
"Well Kirby's copy abilities are slightly weaker. The bracelet's abilities are as strong as your own. And it also has the power to travel between all your worlds."
"Very well, thanks for the explanation, but how do we find it now?" Meta Knight asked.
"I don't know. She threw it into a world that isn't one of your own so the only way to track it is for someone in that world to activate it."
"Then let's hope it's someone we can trust," Lucario said.
