Story of Smashers Chapter 1: Return to Smash Mansion, a super smash brothers fanfic

Story of Smashers

A/N: So, hey guys. As some of you might know, my Pokémon World Tour humor series has ended. Currently, I have a story that I'm actively working on (Conquering the Dark). I'm in a little bit of a rut, so I've decided to expand from Pokémon stories into Super Smash Bros. I've had a desire to write in the Smash fandom since my Smash one-shot from before. This series is going to be a lot more light-hearted and humor-oriented compared to CtD. I'm planning for the humor to be simple and not quite as absurd as PWT (as in, PG-safe). This'll be very slice-of-life and simpler, but I think it's something you guys can enjoy.

Chapter 1: Return to Smash Mansion

Inside the deep dark caves of Kalos' Unknown Dungeon, where few trainers dare to venture in fear, and where a fabled yet powerful Pokémon is said to be…

…Was a bored Mewtwo, flipping through the channels of his TV, desperately trying to find something even remotely interesting to pass the time.

"Hey Mewtwo! The uh… the bathtub handles came off! That's… that's supposed to happen as the water's overflowing, right?"

Mewtwo sighed. The legendary ancestor of Pokémon Mew was staying over as a guest for a couple of days, but he didn't think his original counterpart could be THIS much trouble.

"I'll get it later." he thought grumpily to himself. Finally, he came to what seemed to be a sports broadcast. It only stopped him from changing the channel as the sport itself caught his interest.

"Smash Brothers…" Mewtwo realized, seeing Mario and Bowser battle it out on Battlefield. "This is the 4th tournament, right?"

Mewtwo himself had been in the Smash Tournament before, during the Melee tournament. It had been an interesting experience, to say the least. He remembered that his Melee invitation came through the mail very shortly after the Team Rocket incident when Giovanni tried to use Mewtwo for his own nefarious purposes. In hindsight, he was glad that Ash trainer stopped him from taking over the world, but it still left him questioning a lot of things. Mewtwo had decided to accept the invitation, and show the world why he was called the "world's strongest Pokémon".

He chuckled a bit at the memory. "Wow, was I arrogant."

Of course, Mewtwo was sour that he DIDN'T get to use his full power. The organizer of the Smash tournament, Master Hand, informed him that it wouldn't be fair for everyone else if Mewtwo unleashed his full power. Inside of battle only, his power was severely restricted, and it was hard to even emerge victorious.

Then there was that Jigglypuff.

How he LOATHED that Jigglypuff.

In an extremely sharp contrast to Mewtwo, Jigglypuff performed exceptionally well in the Melee tournament. Inside battle with her, this mere Jigglypuff's powers exceeded his own, and thanks to his large frame, Jigglypuff could very easily combo him off the stage or send him flying at super speed with Rest.

To this day, he still questioned Master Hand's decision to make Rest send the opponent flying rather than healing the user.

He sighed. "Regardless, my Smash tournament days are over."

Mewtwo continued watching the Smash tournament on the TV, still interested in how the tournament would go. He had cleaned up Mew's mess a while back, so he got another hour (hopefully) until she broke something again.

The winner of the match was Bowser, with Mewtwo looking on in interest. "Wow. He certainly changed a lot since the Melee tournament. Looks a lot more in shape and better in battle. Wonder how that happened."

Just then, he heard a knock at his door.

Opening the door to his cave, he found a Delibird with a mailbag in his hands. Mewtwo laughed.

"The fan mail just never stops on coming, does it?" he said, taking his pile of mail from the Delibird.

Delibird laughed along as well. "Well, you ARE the original Legendary you know." The Delibird smiled after a moment. "There's also something special in there that I think will put a big grin on your face."

Mewtwo seemed surprised at this. "Special?"

"You'll see. But a mailmon's day is never done. I got to get back to delivering my mail, you know."

Mewtwo laughed again. "Your species may be weak, but second-to-none when it comes to your mail delivery."

Delibird smiled. "Thanks. I think." And with that, the Delibird ran off.

Mewtwo looked at his mail in curiosity. "Special, huh?" He sat down on his recliner to sort through the mail. "Fan mail, fan mail, ad for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, fan mail from Ash, angry letter from Giovanni swearing for revenge, cable bills, Smash letter, fan mail, fan m-"

He stopped for a moment. Flipping back a bit, he saw a letter sealed with the Smash insignia.

"A Smash letter? What could they want with me? Hasn't the tournament already started?"

Setting the other mail aside, he opened up the Smash letter, unsealing the insignia and reading its' contents.

Dear Mewtwo,

I have sent this letter to let you know that you are cordially invited to join the Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U tournament. While the tournament has already started, you will be planned to debut in battle in Spring 2015 as a DLC character. Should you choose to accept this invitation, we will start work on your training and Smash moveset and I will send a travel portal to your current location. You will not be able to participate in the tournament until you are ready for your public DLC release, but you are free to train and come back to the Smash Mansion. I assure you that when you are revealed to the public, you will be battle-ready.

Oh, and I'll balance you better this time. Promise.

Sincerely,

Master Hand

Mewtwo had to scan over the contents of the letter several times. He couldn't believe what he was reading. Him? Invited? Back to the Smash Mansion? Back into the Smash tournament? It almost seemed too good to be true.

Mewtwo thought about it. He hadn't been to the Smash Mansion in a long time, as he left shortly before the Brawl tournament began. He didn't even bother to meet any of the Brawl newcomers, as he was very… sour about being cut.

"What if I just get cut again?" he muttered to himself. He wasn't too optimistic about returning. "And a lot has probably changed since then…I wonder if Ness is even still around."

Ness. That name brought back memories. He had met Ness during the Melee tournament, and was surprised to find a human capable of PSI. In the Melee tournament, they both shared the problem of being balanced poorly, and found themselves becoming friends. He had learned that Ness was in the very first Smash tournament as well, a fact that surprised Mewtwo.

"I wonder if Ness is still there. The EarthBound series never was very huge…"

He looked at the letter again. "A lot must've changed since I left. It's been a long time. Maybe…"

"Hey Mewtwo!" came an ear-piercing voice.

"What?" Mewtwo groaned.

"I think the bathtub's broken again! It wasn't my fault!"

Mewtwo sighed, looking at the letter again. After thinking it over one last time, he smiled.

"I accept."

As soon as those words were spoken, a portal cracked open into reality in front of Mewtwo. Through the portal, he saw the Smash Mansion, except it was much larger than he last saw it.

Mew floated out of the bathroom, seeing the scene in front of her. "Hey Mewtwo. Where are you going?"

Mewtwo looked at Mew, then back to the portal. He smiled. "The Smash Tournament."

With those words, he stepped inside and the portal closed behind him.

"…" It took a few moments for what Mewtwo said to sink into Mew's head. "…Awesome! I'm going to throw a party and invite ALL the Legendaries!"

Mewtwo re-materialized just outside of the Smash Mansion. Mewtwo looked up to it. Last time he was here, the mansion was two stories tall. Now, it stretched to five stories.

"Must've remodeled during the Brawl and SSB4 Tournaments…" Mewtwo muttered.

He raised his padded fingers, knocking on the door.

"Wow. I can't believe I'm actually back here." Mewtwo said silently again, looking at the now intricate design of the Smash Mansion.

"I've got it!" said what sounded like a distinctly British voice. The door opened to reveal a young adult, maybe somewhere around 18-21 years of age. His hair was a platinum blonde, wearing a red jacket, shorts, and a red pair of boots. The most interesting thing, however, was the very oddly-shaped red sword he had strapped to his back.

The person spoke. "I… I don't believe I've seen you around here before. Pardon my asking, but what is your name?"

"I am Mewtwo, the Legendary Pokémon." He responded simply. He decided to not tack on the "world's strongest Pokémon" bit anymore, as he thought it made him sound too arrogant.

The person gasped. "So… you're the Legendary Mewtwo." A few seconds passed before the male recomposed himself. "Uhh, sorry about that. Master Hand said he sent you an invitation to be a DLC fighter, and it looks like that…"

"I've accepted." Mewtwo finished the young adult's sentence for him.

The platinum blonde nodded. "Right. I should introduce myself. I'm Shulk, Heir to the Monado."

"Pleased to meet you Shulk. I hope we can get acquainted."

"Me too." Shulk smiled. "Master Hand will probably want to know you're here, but I think we should acquaint you with everyone else first. After all, Master Hand said that you haven't been here since the Melee tournament."

"That is true." Mewtwo said. "A lot of people have probably come and gone since then. You seem to know this place well enough. Why don't you give me the grand tour?"

Shulk nodded, eager to begin the tour. "Then it's settled! Come on in and I'll show you around!"

Mewtwo walked in behind Shulk, looking around at the décor. "Place is sure a lot nicer than I remember."

Shulk shrugged. "It was like that when I got here. I was among the last fighters to be officially announced."

"I see."

The two walked down the main hallway, approaching the first room. "I believe in there is…"

"Marth! Get back here! I will kill you!"

The door slammed open to their surprise, with a mischievous Marth and an absolutely furious Link coming out. Marth tauntingly held a green book in front of him, reading it.

"Oh, I don't know Link. Most of this is just so priceless." Marth looked up for a moment, seeing Shulk and Mewtwo. "Oh hey guys. Did you guys know that Link still sleeps with an Epona plushy?"

"MARTH!"

"Ooh, ooh, OR that he never figured out how to beat the first dungeon when playing his own game for the NES?!"

"Playing it, and actually being on the adventure are two very, VERY different things!" Link shouted, pulling out his bow. "Now hand over my journal, and I won't be forced to fire!"

"Hmm… nah. I'm going to go find Zelda. She'll find all of this hilarious." Marth dashed out of the room, with Link chasing after him at super speed.

"GET BACK HERE! YOU ARE DEAD MEAT!"

Mewtwo and Shulk stood there stunned for a second before Mewtwo broke the silence with a laugh. "Looks like those two haven't changed a bit since I last saw them."

"They've always been like that?"

"Last I remember during the Melee tournament, yeah."

Shulk was silent for a few more awkward second. "A-Anyway, next room. This one is my room, but I have to share with-"

"Oh hey Shulk, you're back. Could you get your science-y stuff out of my half of the room… and could I have 5 bucks for a chili dog? It's close to lunch time." said a certain anthropomorphic blue hedgehog.

Shulk sighed in annoyance. "My roommate, Sonic." He finished. Rolling his eyes, Shulk handed the money to Sonic, who flashed a grin and zipped out at the speed of sound. "By the way, could you clean my side of the room? Haven't touched it in a month, thanks!"

"He seems to be a loathsome roommate to have." Mewtwo commented.

"He's a nice guy, really." Shulk assured, before sighing. "But he is a horrible roommate."

The two walked into Shulk's/Sonic's room, where one half of the decently-sized room was orderly and tidy with a couple of spare metal parts and beakers here and there.

The OTHER half of the room could only be described as being hit by a tornado, flood, AND earthquake. Pizza boxes were strewn everywhere, the ground had wet dirt from too many sodas and a lack of cleaning ever, and that's not even bringing up the cracks in the ground where growling noises could be heard… oh, and the strong scent of chili dog and smelly socks was in the air, too.

"Sweet mother of Arceus…" Mewtwo gasped, practically choking in the air.

Shulk coughed for a bit too, before he left the room. Mewtwo quickly followed suit.

"That place needs to be quarantined." Mewtwo said, finally able to breathe normally again.

"That's what I told Master Hand, but he doesn't even want to touch Sonic's room. Not even Crazy Hand is willing to go in there." Shulk spoke. "I'm developing a special air neutralizer that'll get rid of that horrid stench. I'm just relieved it's almost done. Until then, I can only stand to be in there with a gas mask. Anyway, why don't we move on?"

"Absolutely agreed."

"This next hall is the Mario characters, and there's a lot of them. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina, Bowser Jr., and Dr. Mario."

"Doc's back? But I thought-"

"I can explain that."

The two turned behind them to see Mario… except wearing a doctor's coat and stethoscope. Not Mario at all. So, actually Dr. Mario.

"Doc?" Mewtwo asked. "You're here for the SSB4 tournament? I thought you were kicked off for the Brawl tournament."

Doc smiled softly. "Nah, I just retired for a bit to focus on medical care. But Master Hand extended me an invitation back after the Brawl tournament, and I thought it would be rude to turn down the offer."

Mewtwo laughed. "Well, I'm glad I'm not the only Melee cut who made it back. We must catch up later. But right now, Shulk's taking me on a tour. Talk to you later, Doc."

"Farewell, Mewtwo. Glad to see you back." Doc smiled, leaving the two to go back to his room.

"Good ol' Doc." Mewtwo thought. He turned back to Shulk, only to hear a faint squeal come from somewhere.

"What was that?" Mewtwo said.

"Sounds like Luma. Those boys must be up to no good again. Probably playing Luma Volleyball." Shulk sighed, opening up one of the rooms to see just that.

The poor, pudgy yellow star was helplessly bounced through the air like a volleyball, across a net set up in Rosalina's and Junior's room. The two little mischief makers bounced the helpless star were Junior and Toon Link. The two children looked at Shulk and Mewtwo as they came into the room. Shulk was glaring at them angrily while Mewtwo simply gave a disapproving shake.

"You know what Rosalina said playing Luma Volleyball." Shulk scolded.

"Um… to not?" Junior guessed.

"Correct. Now let the Luma go. Poor thing's suffered enough already."

"Just 1 more round!" Toon Link pleaded. "We're tied!"

"No, I said-"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BABY?!" a horrified voice shouted. Dashing into the room was a very tall, platinum blonde woman. She had a dress like Peach did, though it was noticeably simpler in design. The woman picked up the Luma that had been launched into the ground, rather injured.

"Mama." Luma cried. "They hurt me playing volleyball."

"There, there. It's OK. Mama's here." She whispered into the Luma's ear, hugging it softly. After a few moments, she turned to look at the young boys with a look that wouldn't kill, but horrifically scar the young children for life.

"You have three seconds to get out of my sight before I send you SPIRALING INTO THE DEPTHS OF OUTER SPACE! ONE!"

"Run!" Toon Link shouted, dashing out of the room.

"TWO!"

"Right behind you, Toony!" Junior screamed, running out at super speed.

"THREE!" she finished, teleporting them away with a wave of her arm.

Mewtwo was almost nervous to ask. "Where… did you teleport them?"

"Only an alternate galaxy filled with their worst nightmares. Don't worry, I'll bring them back after a few hours." she smiled softly.

Shulk backed away slowly from her as Mewtwo smirked. "I like her."

The woman extended her hand out. "Nice to meet you. I'm Rosalina, Guardian of the Stars. And you are?"

Mewtwo took her hand, shaking with his awkward padded fingers. "Mewtwo, the Legendary Pokémon."

"Mewtwo… that sounds familiar…" she mused. "Wait. Weren't you in the Melee tournament?"

"Yes." Mewtwo said. "I was invited back here as a DLC fighter for the fourth tournament."

Rosalina smiled. "That's great to know. It's always nice to have another fighter join us. I hope you have fun in the tournament."

"I plan to." Shulk and Mewtwo were about to leave until something popped up in Mewtwo's mind. He turned back to Rosalina.

"Could you teach me how to teleport people into nightmare galaxies? I have some very strong psychic powers of my own, and I'd love to give something like that a shot."

Rosalina chuckled softly. "I'll think about it." she said, closing her door to tend to Luma.

Mewtwo turned back to see Shulk give him a look of fear and confusion.

"What?" he asked.

Shulk was silent for a few moments before he spoke up again. "Nothing. Nothing at all. Let's… Let's just keep going."

"Anyway, next up we have Samus's and Zero Suit Samus's room." Shulk said.

Mewtwo paused for a moment. "Don't you just mean Samus? There's only one Samus Aran, right?"

Shulk chuckled nervously. "If there was one, there's not anymore."

"But then how do you get TWO Samuses?"

"I can hear you from right here, you know?" said a firm female voice. A moment later, the door to the room opened up, revealing Samus dressed in her Zero Suit. "Those advanced Chozo genes aren't just for nothing."

Samus paused for a moment, seeing the creature next to Shulk. "Wait. Mewtwo? You're back?"

Mewtwo nodded. "Yep. I'm back as a DLC fighter."

"I see. So, you'd probably want to know what Shulk meant by two Samuses. See, I'm using some nanobots I've created to control my suit for me whenever I'm not using it. Of course, this is only for the sake of tournaments. Should any real problems arise, I can take back over."

"That... is really clever, I have to admit." Mewtwo said.

Shulk got a giddy look on his face. "Yeah, I've been studying technology for the longest time on Bionis, yet we have nothing like nanobots. I'm really hoping Ms. Aran here can show me how they work. I'd love to see if I could figure out the technology behind it!"

"I will sometime, Shulk." Samus said. "But they are still..."

KRAPOW!

Following that noise was a thick layer of smoke coming through the door, with the smoke alarm going off.

"...Prototypes." Samus sighed. "Looks like I'll be busy for a while."

She shut the door behind her, leaving Shulk and Mewtwo alone.

"So... shall we continue?" Shulk asked.

"I think that would be a wise idea."

"We're approaching the Pokémon section of the hall, so your room will be among here. You'll be rooming with Greninja." Shulk explained.

"Greninja…" Mewtwo thought for a moment. "He's the new Water/Dark Pokémon, isn't he?"

"Yeah. He's quite a quirky fellow, but he's a very nice guy. Speaking of the devil…" Shulk muttered as he saw the blue water ninja frog peer out of his room. "H-Hello?" he stuttered nervously.

"Hey, Greninja. Guess who arrived as your new roomie!" Shulk grinned, moving to show Mewtwo. Greninja widened his mouth in awe.

"Oh wow! So you're the Legendary Mewtwo! It's such an honor to meet you!" he exclaimed happily, shaking Mewtwo's paws with his webbed frog arms.

Mewtwo smiled. "It's nice to meet you, too."

"I really look forward to having you as a roommate! When Master Hand told me you were invited and that you'd be my new roommate if you accepted, I was just so excited!" Greninja squealed. "We are going to be best friends!"

Greninja was about to give Mr. Giant Kitty Cat a hug, only for Mr. Cat to interrupt. "Don't hug me, and we'll get along just fine."

"Oh, OK." Greninja understood, backing off and blushing. "Sorry. I'm a hugger."

"Oh. So Mewtwo's back, huh?" a female voice spoke. A small pink puffball emerged from the room designated for Pikachu and Jigglypuff. The three of them turned around to see her.

Mewtwo crossed his arms with disdain. "Puff."

"Mewtwo." She replied bluntly.

"You two know each other?" Shulk asked.

"We had a very… bitter rivalry back in the Melee days." Mewtwo explained. "Specifically, the humiliation of a mere Jigglypuff being amazing in the tournaments while the powerful Mewtwo was stuck as trash tier."

"The irony was hilarious." Jigglypuff laughed.

"Yeah. Hilarious." Mewtwo replied, with obvious anger and sarcasm in his voice.

Greninja prepared a Water Shuriken at Jigglypuff. "Well, that's not very nice!"

"But… I'm not here to dwell on the past." Jigglypuff admitted. "After you left and I became absolute trash in Brawl, I kinda understand what it's like to feel so weak."

Mewtwo was surprised by Jigglypuff's sincerity, but then smiled a bit. "Stings, doesn't it?"

"Yeah…" Jigglypuff nodded meekly before sighing. "Could you ever forgive me for all of the teasing I gave you in the Melee era?"

"…Only if we get to settle it on the battlefield later. Once I become an official DLC fighter, that is."

Jigglypuff made a wide smile. "Really?! That makes me so happy that I could just sing with joy!"

Mewtwo's eyes widened. "No, don't!"

Too late. Jigglypuff had already began singing happily, only for Shulk, Mewtwo, and Greninja to fall asleep.

As the three slumbered, she growled, holding a permanent market into the air. "They always fall asleep! Forget what I said about forgiveness!"

So, yeah. I decided to cut it off there because I want to save the other half of introductions (including Ness) for the next chapter. They are a LOT of Smash characters, you know. Plus, the chapter was getting pretty lengthy, so I decided to cut it off here for right now. In any case, this won't have any over-arching storyline and will be sort of like a day-to-day story in the life of the Smashers. Or in other words: the 'Story of Smashers'. Hope you all enjoy it.
