Hey guys, I'm back!

Now, unless this is a foreign concept, I love Smash Bros. I honestly don't get why anyone would not get a kick out of this game. But I'm actually one of the people who actually really like the story mode in Brawl. Not only do I find it relatively easy, with the only challenge I find being the Great Maze, but I saw some serious potential in the story of it. So much that I replayed through the entire story mode (beat it in 10 hours, personal best :) ), took notes on every detail and pieced together my own version of the story based on the events to create my own novelization of it. Now while I do have some chapters done in advance, this might take a while since it's gonna get pretty deep later on, but I do plan to finish since I can't seem to find a single one that is finished. Kind of a shame.

Well, let's get to it!

In the midst of a desolate plain, a grand stadium stood. And within the stadium, a massive audience resided. They were bustling, energetic, excited, highly anticipating the battle that was about to take place. Among the audience, high within the stands, two lovely regal princesses sat. Zelda of Hyrule and Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom. The two looked out at the large, expansive crowd with gleeful smiles on their faces.

"It seems like we have everyone here. The stadium is full," The Hylian princess looked over to the princess next to her.

"And a good thing too, here they come!"

As the two princesses looked up, they saw the competitors drop in, within their trophy forms. As they landed on the stage, they restored and revealed the fighters. The red clad plumber of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, and the lovable pink superstar of Dreamland, Kirby. The two waved to the crowd before facing each other.

"Ready Kirby?"

Kirby nodded and got into his fighting stance, along with Mario.

"Mario V.S Kirby!" They heard the familiar voice of the announcer, "Ready? GO!"

The two were immediately on each other, each trading blow for blow, hammer, swords, fire and water mixing into the pure hand to hand combat. And the crowd was practically eating it up. They were on fire and mixed chants of "Mario!" and "Kirby!" were split between the audience. The two princesses couldn't help but be amused by the intensity of the audience, but they were incredibly focused on the battle. Mario and Kirby were matching each other in strength and agility, so there wasn't any clear cut winner. But that just made the fight all the more interesting.

However, unknown to the princesses, there was one more person watching the match. But he wasn't in the audience. But rather, high above it.

High within the sky, deep within a shroud of clouds, was a temple that very few people knew about. It was the home of the Goddess of Light, Palutena. Within the temple, in a large dimly lit room, was a young angel who was looking into a large pot of flowing water that allowed them to look at the world below. The young angel, clad in white and gold clothing with white feathered wings that were soft to the touch, was named Pit and it was through this pot that he was able to see the battle between Mario and Kirby. Being the captain of Palutena's army and having a love for action, he wasn't able to keep his arms from flailing about, imagining himself in the heated battle. Even his wings gave an occasional flap as he imagined himself dodging the attacks and maneuvering his way through the battle. He even gave a flinch when he saw Kirby land a painful looking blow to Mario's stomach.

"That's going to leave one heck of a mark."

Shaking that off, he continued to watch and enjoy himself

Back on the ground, Kirby saw an opening and took advantage of it. He swung his hammer and hit Mario with such powerful force he was sent sky high. That hit proved to be all he could take, as when he landed back on the stage, he was in his trophied form. Kirby walked over to the trophied Mario and touched the golden base, restoring him. The good thing about being restored from your trophied form is that the pain from the finishing blow goes away almost instantly. Because of this, Marion was able to shake the pain off like it was nothing.

Marion looked at Kirby with a proud smile, "Great job Kirby!"

Kirby smiled, offering one of his stubby arms to Mario, to which he gladly grabbed and the two shook hands. The crowd erupted into cheers as the two fighters waved out to them.

But the celebration was cut abruptly short when they looked into the sky.

A mass of dark red clouds started to slowly creep in above them, and from the clouds a large ship came out. A ship that looked to be heavily fortified and had a design that was all too familiar to Kirby.

Kirby called out to Mario as the two looked up into the sky, "What is it Kirby?" Kirby explained to him, "Hmm? You know whose ship that is?"

The ship eventually stationed itself above the stadium, where a large door on the underside of the ship opened and released a large mass of strange purple spores onto the stadium. At first the spores seemed harmless, but they began to form together. They created several humanoid creatures with green bodies and blank red eyes and strange white clouds with faces and what appeared to be generators attached to their backs.

Up in the stands, Zelda and Peach were watching the ordeal with horrified looks on their faces.

"What on Earth are those things?!"

"I don't know, but they're surrounding Mario and Kirby!" Peach exclaimed, her hands against her chest in worry.

Zelda shook off her fear and looked towards the panicking audience, "Everyone, evacuate the arena this instant!" As the crowd started to frantically leave, she looked back at Peach, "Let's go, they need our help!"

"Right!"

The two princesses rushed from their seats in the stands, Zelda teleporting onto the field and Peach floating in on her parasol. All of a sudden, the eyes of the strange creatures started to glow and the spores that made them up began to secrete from their backs.

"Primid...destroy…"

"Spaak...destroy…"

The creatures spoke in dead, monotone voices.

"Looks like they're not going down without a fight."

The four of them readied themselves as the creatures attacked.

The Primids attacked them with powerful punches and kicks, some even using their spores to create boomerangs to throw at them. The Spaaks floated overhead and shot down lightning bolts to attack them. When Peach jumped up and attacked one of them, it's white cloud body turned black and the generator on it's back started sparking.

"Spaak...power...overload…"

It became much more ferocious and it's lightning attacks grew more powerful. Luckily, she managed to defeat it before it caused too much trouble. When they defeated one of the creatures, they reverted back to spores and the spores faded away. Even though their numbers were vast, together, they were able to defeat them all.

Peach dusted off her dress and spoke, "Is that all of them?"

"I think so."

They thought they were done until they heard Kirby call them, "What is it Kirby?"

He pointed towards the sky. They all looked up and saw a floating machine coming down towards them. It was almost bell shaped and was entirely covered in a green cloth aside from it's face, which was black with two yellow glowing dots they assumed to be it's eyes. It also was holding some strange circular object that was black with a peculiar red pattern.

Zelda readied herself, "Just who are you?"

"I AM THE ANCIENT MINISTER," It spoke in a dull robotic voice.

The Ancient Minister dropped the strange circular object onto the battlefield. From behind it, two strange robots with long thin bodies, bent arms and a flat bottom came out. They inserted their arms into the sides of the object and pulled, revealing a strange purple ball of energy encased in a glass cylinder. And beneath it was a counter, counting down from 3 minutes.

They realized then that what the Ancient Minister dropped was a bomb.

"LEAVE NOW, OR FALL VICTIM TO THE REALM OF THE SUBSPACE."

The Ancient Minister floated away into the direction of the ship. Zelda tried to shoot a fireball at it, but it exploded before it managed to hit the robot.

Peach stopped her before she could try it again, "We can worry about that machine later, Zelda."

"Peach is right. We have to stop that bomb!"

Mario ran towards the bomb to do something, but a large thud came down that practically shook the arena. The four of them looked behind them and saw a large cloud of dust that came from where the thud came from. From the cloud of dust, a cannonball suddenly shot out, hitting Mario and sending him flying out of the arena. As Kirby watched Mario fly off, he then heard Peach scream behind him. He turned around and saw a giant Piranha Plant standing there, holding the princesses trapped in cages attached to it's long leafy arms. It slammed the cages together and let out a loud roar towards Kirby, but he showed no fear and readied himself.

He knew stopping the bomb was important, but he had to save the princesses.

The Piranha Plant attacked Kirby by jumping up and slamming its body and the cages on the battlefield. It also swiped the cages along the ground whenever Kirby would move by him. The princesses had to hold onto the bars of the cages just to avoid getting brutally slammed around. Luckily, Kirby was able to dodge most of the attacks by floating up and attacking it's head. After a few well placed and powerful hits, it was defeated. Just as the Piranha Plant burst into flames, Kirby cut through the leaf arms, releasing the cages and freeing the princesses. Peach landed next to him and Zelda landed elsewhere.

Just as Kirby was going to make sure Zelda was okay, Peach picked him up and pulled him into a hug, "Oh Kirby, thank you!"

Kirby hugged her back and she put him down. But then someone else entered the arena. Kirby had no idea who he was, but Peach knew him all to well.

"Wario?"

Wario let out a laugh, "Nice to see you, princess!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Showing up right on time. That bomb's about to blow."

Kirby and Peach looked at the bomb and saw it was on it's last 30 seconds.

"How do you know about that bomb?"

"I was sent to pick up the leftovers of the Piranha Plant, but now I see it didn't go as well as we hoped."

"We? What do you mean?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out yourself, princess!" He gave another laugh.

He thought he heard something and looked behind him. And he saw Zelda crawling out of the broken cage. When she looked up and saw Wario, she stared at him in confusion.

"Hmm, I'd hate to go back empty handed," Wario turned to Zelda and pulled out a huge black gun with violet lines running along it, "So I guess you'll do!"

The gun charged up for a few seconds before firing, a black arrow shaped beam shooting out, hitting Zelda in the center of her body. The moment the beam came in contact with her, she was reverted into her trophy form.

"Zelda!" Peach shouted, frozen in place with her hands against her chest.

Wario walked to the trophied Zelda, picked her up and flung her onto his shoulder, "I'd love to stick around, but I have other business to handle. See you later, princess!" And with that, he left.

Peach shook herself out of her shock and looked at Kirby, "Quick, we have to get out of here!"

The two made a mad dash towards the exit, but Kirby looked at the bomb and saw it was on its last 3 seconds. Acting quickly, Kirby summoned his warp star and got him and Peach out of the arena before the bomb exploded, engulfing the arena in a large dark purple orb.

Peach, holding onto Kirby as they rode on the warp star, looked back at the scene that just occurred, "What is that, Kirby?" Kirby shrugged and Peach let out a sigh, "Come on, we have to find help."

Kirby nodded and steered the warp star through the vast sea of clouds.

But little did either of them know that the explosion was just the mere start of the danger they were about to face.

The adventures just getting started folks, we have got a log road ahead of us, and it's gonna be fun.

Until next time!
