The Fear Rooms - SSBB

Hello everyone! I'm glad that you've decided to read this story, and I hope you enjoy it! This is part of a "Writer's Project" that I have decided to do along with mew-loves-cakes and assassinperson, in which we have a basic idea for a plot, and we each choose our own 'verse to write the story in, and we use our skills as a writer to decide what's going to happen, and how each of the writers depict the plot. I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to R&R (if you want to, of course)! Just a warning: some of the characters may be a little OOC.

I do not own any of the characters.

It was silent in the Smash Hotel, where all the Smashers from the Super Smash Bros. games resided. Well, it WAS seven in the morning, and it was also what could be considered a 'rest day' for all of the Smashers, so each of them took the opportunity to sleep in. But this is the Smash Mansion, and it is never peaceful for too long. Indeed, when 8AM rolled around, Crazy Hand woke all of the Smashers up, and not in an exactly peaceful way, as he chose to use a frying pan to hit all of the doors twice, all the while he was screaming, "WAKE UP NOW! EMERGENCY!"

This spurred something in all the Smashers, and a stampede of characters came charging down the corridor, and down the stairs. In the midst of the confusion, Meta Knight and Kirby separated from the herd of characters, so that they wouldn't be crushed or stepped on. Meta Knight looked up when he heard Crazy Hand laughing hysterically at the top of the stairs, obviously pleased that he managed to wake up all the Smashers at once.

"Poyo...?" Kirby questioned, confused as to what was going on. Meta Knight glanced sideways towards him, wrapping his Dimensional Cape close around him.

"It is just Crazy Hand ensuring that no one slept in too long, Kirby," he replied, then he started to walk back towards the stairs, Kirby following him with the usual bounce in his step. Crazy Hand spotted the two Star Warriors, and he zoomed down the steps towards them, skidding to a halt in midair.

"Nice try you two, but as you're the first to try coming back upstairs, you've got to get the post!" and, quite promptly, the sound of the postman driving up in his postvan could be heard. Meta Knight scowled and he started to walk to the front door, so that he could collect the post, and probably feed it to Kirby, who quickly followed him again.

Meanwhile, with the other Smashers - who had all now calmed down enough to realise that there was no emergency - were settled in the large dining room, awaiting to be served breakfast, courtesy of Peach, Mario, Link and Zelda, who had offered to help out with the making and serving of the food. They soon noticed, however, that two other Smashers were not present, as two chairs which had at least three cushions on each were empty.

"Where's Meta Knight and Kirby?" Zelda asked, to no one in particular, as she placed down a plate of food in front of Ike. Before anyone else could answer, Meta Knight and Kirby walked into the dining room, as if on cue. Meta Knight was reading the front of each of the envelopes, and as he read out what each letter was, he would throw it behind him, where Kirby would swallow it whole.

"Electricity bill... repair bill... for Snake... invitation to a mansion... for-" he was quickly cut off by Zelda.

"Wait! What was that one?"

"Which one?"

" The invitation!"

"An invitation to a mansion. Nothing big," Meta Knight muttered, then he gave the rest of the letters to Kirby, and he walked towards one of the empty chairs. Zelda sighed, and she said to Kirby, "Spit out the invitation, please..."

"Poyo!" Kirby complied, and he hicupped as an envelope was spat out of his mouth, in pristine condition.

"And my letter!" Snake suddenly called out, having realised that he wouldn't get his letter if Kirby didn't spit it out. However, Kirby was not as compliant with that request, and he instead went to the other empty chair, passing the stack of letters to Link, who had just walked in with breakfast for the two Star Warriors.

"I'll take those," Zelda said to Link gently, and she took the plates of food to give to Meta Knight and Kirby, who were now present and sitting on the piles of cushions on their seats, to make up for their height and the table.

"But... but... my letter..." Snake muttered, quietly, but everyone had already forgotten about that, which Sonic reminded him of by saying, "We've moved on!"

In the kitchen, Zelda decided to read the letter out to Link, Peach and Mario, deciding that if it was of any importance to the other Smashers, then they would tell them.

"Dear Smashers,

You do not need to know who I am, but five of you are invited to have a small visit to my Mansion of Wonder. There, you will be spending three nights, hopefully in a bid to uncover the mystery beast that lies there. Well, you'll have to, otherwise there's no getting out for you! As a small token of my appreciation, I will grant you the first clue in a single word: scales. You have one week to arrive, or I will CRUSH your little Smash Hotel!

From ?''

"Mamma mia!" Mario cried out, then he fainted.

"Mario!" Peach cried out, and he crouched next to him.

"Well, we all know who isn't going,'' Zelda muttered, then she looked at Link, "what are we going to do? If we offer the chance to the others, then there'll be fighting!"

"I reckon that we should make a list... you know, then we can start to narrow it down to five. Maybe we should select fifteen to start with, then go from there," Link suggested.

Zelda nodded in agreement, and she went off to find paper and a pen. There was a silence in the kitchen, until Peach spoke up, "But we can't just select who is going without asking the others first!"

"In that case," Link started, "I'm going to tell them,"

"TELL WHO WHAT?" Crazy Hand asked, bursting in through the kitchen door.
