Gamindustri Clash
Prologue / Sneak Peek
"Are you sure you want us to go through with this? I understand you even wished to grab Ichigo and many older characters for this, but…" Master Chief took a step back. "Just wondering, I'm going to assume you don't want Orchid out there?"
She shook her head. "No. And I need Jago's company... You mean that I should send someone from Killer Instinct, right?" There was silence. "Alright. Who better than that alien?" That idea made him flinch, and take another step back.
Not wishing to question his mistress, he used the communicator. "Someone bring Glacius up here. Vert's orders." No one had to even do anything, a puddle made it's way into the room, taking form of a humanoid creature. He looked at the crowd around himself.
There was Master Chief, who'm he was used to.
An anthropomorphic orange cat, and brown bear with a red bird.
Four girls. One dark-haired with a red dress and ribbon in her hair, one with bright red hair and a blue outfit, one with cat ears and coated with pink, and the notably most unusual was the child with twin braids with her eyes closed.
Two men. One who was unusually twitchy and on the brink of insanity, one wearing spy-gear and night-vision goggles.
Then there was a young boy as well. "I suppose you all are wondering why I brought you here. Even if I broke off with some of you." Her eyes nearly made contact with the squirrel. "But… We are in a desperate situation. And I needed help, so I chose from the best of you."
"Lemme guess, you're going to try and pit us against the Smashers and All-Stars? There's no other reason to bring that kid from Ghoulies into this."
"Kazooie! Sorry about that Cooper!" The bear yelled at his fowl friend who's name was now given. The boy flinched from the comment, trying his best to not respond.
Vert chuckled simply. "Well, it's partially true. Blanc and Noire were bickering as always... So I asked them what was going on, and while it wasn't as interesting as online gaming, they wish to pit their favorites against each other… I figured it was only logical that I request to join them."
"Aaaand you don't have enough characters, so I bet they have to cut down too."
"Kazooie!"
"Aw c'mon Banjo! Why else would these guys be here? We don't even know half of these people! Some of these looks like they're from PC games!"
"I promise to make it worth your while, if we win… I'll take you to R-18 Island! Well, except for Ichigo and Mado I suppose, they're still young." Everyone wasn't sure how to comprehend that, Reimu rolled his eyes. The girl in blue, known as Kasumi, was actually rather interested in the idea.
The shrine maiden began mumbling to herself. "Is she going to ignore the fact those in the Dark Souls and Skyrim realms are still fighting with each other? Or does she know and choose to disregard it?" Her statement went ignored. "Fine. I'll just tell the dragonborn myself… Frinnia had been wondering about the All-Stars, and if they've associated with the enemies of her world. Plus I'm sure Baldur and Sho wanna know this."
Fisher raised his head. "I'm surprised to know she didn't wish to join in those battles. Perhaps they strike her as too ridiculous?" Reimu nodded softly. "We gotta make sure that she won't betray us then. Even if a majority are multiplatforms at times." The spy directed toward himself, Sho, and Kasumi.
"If we beat Noire and that foolish Vert, I promise one thing you would all like." Blanc softly spoke to her subjects at the large table. "I shall write a full-blown manga series for Smash Bros. And allow you three to enter."
Her eyes were directed at a brown-haired woman in blue armor, a girl with red hair in a ponytail, and an armadillo in western clothes. Everyone began clapping at the deal from the short girl in white. "A wonderful proposal, Blanc. I think we would all enjoy a comic-series dedicated to us!" Princess Peach said, raising her cup of tea.
Something did not sit right with one of the Smashers though. The young man in a green tunic and blond hair, Link. He wasn't the kind to speak out to others, as no one really understood him other than Ness and Pokemon Trainer Red. And his worries were confirmed when the Princess Zelda busted the doors open.
"Lady Blanc! Something terrible has happened!" All attention was turned to her. "On the top of the Arbiter's Grounds, someone had stolen the Mirror of Twilight!" Blanc's eyes didn't even change from hearing that. The woman in armor however, flinched at the idea of that.
Putting down her hot chocolate, Blanc just sighed. "So?… It's just the Mirror of Twilight. It's useless in it's current state: broken, Thanks to Midna. Whoever took it is going to be mildly disappointed, because no matter what's done, you cannot repair it." Not wishing to argue with the goddess, Zelda sighed and took a seat. "I'm also unfortunate to inform that I cannot allow some to go into the battles. Bowser needs to care for the Koopalings, Ice Climbers are currently climbing around Lowee... And I can't allow Ganondorf to be in a ten-foot radius of the basilicom ever since New Years."
"Wha?! Someone did that?! No way!… You mean it? I'm really sorry James, but I don't know who would've taken Primeval! I'm busy right now!… You're WHAT?! No-no-no-no-noooooooo! Do not send Minion up here! We'll find him, alright?!" The All-Stars stared at their goddess, completely puzzled by what was going on.
There was a new character none of them except Heihachi recognized. A knight with a silver helmet, and an unusual tunic that had a faced Sun. "Who's the new guy? I never saw him come in with a rival or anything like Crash. Is he for Jeanne? Because I doubt he's with Aguacate..." Ratchet whispered to Nathan Drake, who shrugged.
Finally Noire hung up, groaning. "Okay All-Stars… I know that you are upset with me ever since the Tournament events... Some were even so mad to the point where they temporarily left. I won't give out names as to who! But I'm sure looking around, you can tell!" They took a quick look-around... Raiden was not there anymore, and everyone knew why Evil Cole left, and Sweet Tooth seemed to be absent. "Kane is just late I'm sure. But you may notice that Jack is no longer with us. He returned to Lowee with Snake. He wasn't bluffing after all."
After a moment of silence, Noire proceeded to speak "I am here to tell you about a new upcoming battle with the other nations... Kratos, can you do me a favor and possibly find your rival? We'll give you the details of it, I promise." Getting out of his chair, the Ghost of Sparta began searching for Sweet Tooth.
Just a bit outside of Lastation, a little girl was found. "Hey! Did someone lose their kid here?!" The clown yelled out. Partially disgruntled, but thrilled. He actually wanted to keep the child that was found. She seemed to be a toddler, red dress, lightly-blonde hair with a side-ponytail. "Maybe she's Pupul's... Oh man! That would be great!" Sweet Tooth laughed.
It was a hot Spring day, and it seemed as if the girl was getting a sunburn. "Geez! She's pale! Sun would do her good, buuuut… I'm not feeling terribly evil today!~" Just as Needles was about to go back to the basilicom, Kratos blocked his way, glaring. "Oh! Hello cupcake!" He said, trying to fake a smile under his mask.
Kratos looked at him, then the child, then him again. "Kane, you better not tell me that you kidnapped that little girl! Or I swear I will-" Sweet Tooth slapped his hands against the warrior's mouth, trying to shush him. "… For your sake, she better be sleeping, knowing you. Do you know where her guardians are?"
Shaking his head and shoving Kratos to the side, Sweet Tooth went on without him. "Dunno about you! But I'm gonna bother Pupul with this kid! Then afterwards give it some nice clothes maybe! Oh man, last time I had children!… I killed them, but they belonged to Marcus! And not the Tooth!" He cackled softly.
"This is no time to be laughing, Kane. Noire has held an important meeting… About the Console Wars." Sweet Tooth felt his attention grabbed. "It's starting again now that the PS4 and Xbox-One are out…"

Donte(DmC) vs. Sho(Crimson Sea)
Connection: They're more opposites than similar. Both are action-game heroes that appear rather "badass". But while Donte is cocky/smug, Sho is actually sweet… Kind-hearted… And courageous. Both characters also had a shift with their games. DMC started out for the PS2, then went multiplatform. Crimson Sea started for the Xbox, but the sequel was for PS2.
Toro Inoue(Together Anywhere!) vs. Ichigo(C.A.T.)
Connection: Incredibly cute cat protagonists that are barely known outside of Japan, since their games are JP exclusive… Except that C.A.T. isn't well-known in Japan that much at times either, as opposed to Doko Demo Issyo.
((The sequel to Tournament Royale... A SSB x PSAS crossover, with Microsoft tossed in.
For the record, the Smashers/All-Stars without a rival/foe are still in this story!… Except the following who are out of this story:
• Mr. Grimm and Neptune/Purple Heart, on their honeymoon. :T
• Blanc already stated that Ice Climbers, Bowser, and Ganondorf would not be present.
• R.O.B. and Wolf. Not that anyone would notice. Thankfully Arle Nadja, Dillon, and Lip(Panel de Pon) took their place.
• Doctor Nefarious went back to doing evil. Expected of him.
But who knows? Maybe a reference to some of them will be made~ This is just the prologue after all! The whole story will most likely appear when my surgery is done with…
Edit: Holy hell, mistakes galore! Fixed them, I'm really sorry!))
