The First Smash
Chapter 1: The Arrival
Somewhere, in a unique land shrouded in mystery, there was an unused stadium. There were plans for this stadium-many characters would soon come to battle one another and test their abilities there.
Eight characters from different worlds moved in a line to the door of the stadium's entrance. They had all been called to come to this place; though none of them understood who they were called by or why they would have to battle, they knew they were up to the challenge and would do their best.
One by one the eight characters entered the stadium door…
First was Mario, the red-garbed hero from the Mushroom Kingdom and the star of the show. "Here we go!" he called out, spinning into the entrance with a Mario Tornado.
Second was Donkey Kong, the banana-loving ape from Kongo Jungle. He flew into the entrance with a Spinning Kong, though he really wondered if there were any bananas in the stadium.
Third was Link, the green-clothed hero from Hyrule. He jumped into the entrance with a Spin Attack, ready to try out his trusty sword in new battles.
Fourth was Samus, the bounty hunter from Planet Zebes. She combined a Screw Attack with a few bombs to make an "explosive" entrance, definitely ready to use her abilities in battle.
Fifth was Yoshi, the hungry, lovable green dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. He entered using a Flutter Jump while throwing a few eggs, which almost seemed like fireworks as they broke. He knew he was going to be a tougher opponent than he looked!
Sixth was Kirby, the hungry yet powerful pink puffball from Pop Star. He rushed inside with a Final Cutter, though he was really ready for some food, if the stadium had any…
Seventh was Fox, the space pilot from Lylat. He dashed into the entrance with a Fire Fox, then used his Reflector for a steady landing. He knew all his abilities would be useful to him in the coming battles.
Eighth was Pikachu, the electric yellow mouse Pokemon from the Kanto region. He dashed inside with lightning speed using Quick Attack twice. He knew he was going to be an electrifying opponent and enjoy battling. After all, he was a Pokemon and battling was what they did best!
Now that all eight fighters were inside the stadium, they stood in a group, waiting to see what would happen next. They saw a section of the entrance room where they were supposed to wait, so they went there and kept themselves busy until they received further instruction. Mario and Link did a practice battle, Donkey Kong, Samus, and Fox practiced their moves on some targets, Yoshi and Kirby ate all the food that was on a table (except the bananas, which DK took between breaking targets), and Pikachu was napping in a safe corner.
This continued until a gate on one wall opened with a creak. Everyone abruptly stopped what they were doing to look over at the gate. Mario, who had been trying to dodge Link's sword, fell over it instead. Samus rolled out of the way and Fox put on a shield to avoid Donkey Kong's attack, which missed the targets when his attention turned to the gate. Yoshi and Kirby jumped off the table so fast that they stumbled over one another and rolled a few feet like a green and pink ball. Pikachu opened his eyes and sat up.
A large shadow could be seen in the gate's opening. It seemed ominous to all the Smashers for some reason, and they all stood facing it in alarm. It then spoke in an unfamiliar voice. "Welcome to my stadium. I have called all of you to battle here because I know you all have special powers and skills. Today you will all participate in your first fights in this event that I call Super Smash Brothers. First I'd like to hold a tournament to test your real strength. You will fight one-on-one; I have already planned out the fighter combinations. The winners of each round will go on to the next until we come to the final battle. Now…" A large screen on the wall above the gate turned on to show nine empty areas where the characters would fight. "It is time to begin the first round. Mario, please come through this gate."
All the other fighters looked on, some with worried expressions, as Mario stepped forward toward the gate. He himself was a little worried, unsure what he would find beyond the gate. Not only that, but why was he the only one called for the first battle? Who was he going to battle, and where would they battle at? Nevertheless, Mario went into the gate and disappeared into the shadows while the other fighters waited to watch the first smash…
I hope I got everything right; at the time of writing this, I've only played a few of Link's games and one of Samus's (and I've never played Fox, Captain Falcon, or Ness's games).
I hope you enjoyed reading this so far. ^-^ Round 1 will start in the next chapter!
