Chapter 1 Letters
Authors note: Hey guys, Dragon Alchemist here! This is my first SSBB fanfic written in my O.C's point of view. Special thanks to Lady Wanderer of Gallifrey for Nyssa and I do not own super smash bros Nintendo does. Please don't base this story off of our Avengers 2,0 story, our writing was awful back then. I promise this one will be much better. Updates at the start will be slow and will normally be on Sundays.
Night was falling by the time I reached the edge of the forest. Standing in the shadows of the last few trees, I looked down at Smashville trying to see my best friend's house. Hollis was one of two reasons I was here. I'm a bounty hunter and a mage from the kingdom of Arya but, I had completed all of my jobs which brings me to reason my second reason for being here: getting a new one. I checked my watch which said 8:00 pm. I sighed; my original plan had been to arrive around six so I would have time to start job hunting but I had a few complications getting here. The bushes behind me rustled but it was only my dragon Nova (as a bounty hunter it's always a good idea to have transportation with you) chasing the rabbits. Nova was a dark blue colour with markings that looked like stars, planets and galaxies and you couldn't give them a definite colour. She could also adjust her size so at the moment she was about the same as a cat. "Come on Nova, you can eat when we get to Hollis' house" I laughed as I started my descent.
When I got into the town ten minutes later, the first thing I did was check for mail. I had a habit of doing this because I didn't stay in the same place for too long and keeping up on the news is kind of important. As it turned out I did have one letter: the envelop was a yellowish colour and it had a seal with a picture of a multi-coloured ball on it. I gaped. "No way," I muttered. If this letter was about what I thought it was, I would be busy for a long time. I grabbed Nova and raced to Hollis' house.
Smashville was the perfect place for my friend to live because she loved fighting. The school she went to had (to my knowledge) at least 5 different classes about fighting. The school was preparing the students to become smashers. Those guys were legendary and they fought everyday so Hollis had immediately signed up. Fighting every day was her kind of thing. Two years ago when I turned fourteen, she'd convinced me to write a letter to Master Hand about why I should become a smasher; Hollis had written one wanting to get in but the only reason I wrote mine was to humor her. Don't get me wrong, I thought it would be amazing to be a smasher but I like being a bounty hunter better; you go different places and you don't have to follow any rules as long as you get the job done.
I pounded on Hollis' door. Hollis looked exactly the same since the last time I'd seen her: same brown hair pulled back in a braid, jeans and green hoodie. "Well, look who it is" she smirked. "I didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon Naru. Come on in, I'll grab a snack but then I have to get back to kicking Dark Link's ass." I followed her in and plopped down on the couch. Sure enough Ocarina of Time was paused on her T.V screen. I shook my head, "You're re-doing this game again? This has to be, like, the fourth time you've played it!" Hollis came back with some chips, "Sixth actually, but who's counting?" She sat down next to me and started the game again. We were silent for a while and then she said, "So how long are you staying?" "In this house? Not even twenty four hours," I replied.
Hollis looked at me suspiciously out of the corner of her eye. "You said in this house. Are you implying that you will be in this town but staying somewhere else?" "A good deduction Sherlock but you must wait until you can give me your undivided attention to find out," I smirked. After a few minutes Hollis defeated Dark Link, saved, and shut off the game. "All right Naru, I'm all ears." I didn't say anything just pulled out the letter and gave it to her. "Job details I assume." Then she flipped the letter over and her eyes widened. "I do not believe this," she muttered. "You're going to be a smasher! This is so excit- wait didn't you write this about two years ago?" "Yep," I nodded. "That's a slow response. Well why don't you open it?" I rolled my eyes. "Sure just as soon as you give it back". Together we opened the letter, which was incredibly short:
December 20
Dear Miss Nephelle,
I am pleased to inform you that you have the requirements that I have been looking for, and are now an official smasher. If you choose to accept this position, come to the smash mansion on the 3 of January at 12:00 sharp.
Sincerely,
Master Hand
Hollis flipped over the letter to see if there was anything written on the back (there wasn't). "Short and to the point; I approve." If the letter had been any longer I don't think Hollis would have read it. She doesn't like long explanations, they bore her. And me too I suppose, although I would have read the entire thing even if it was three pages long. Job details are very important. Nova flapped over and read the letter "I guess we've been out of town longer than we thought," She told me. "Holy cow you're right!" I exclaimed. "The third is tomorrow!"
Hollis went back to playing her game but I went up to the guest room even though it was only 8:45. I usually get up at about 4:30 in the morning and I didn't want to be tired tomorrow. Even so it took me a long time to fall asleep.
The plot in this story will be slow as this is more about Hollis and Nephelle's adventures at Smash mansion, but there will be plot. Don't forget to review. :3
