It was that time of the year again. The 4th official Super Smash Brothers tournament was ready to begin. All the new smashers had arrived, everyone bid their farewells to the fighters that didn't make it in to the 4th tournament for various reasons, ranging from having to save the world again, to "Didn't feel like it" As Wolf put it.
Master Hand had also announced a new feature in this tournament: Along with the regular 1v1 tournament and the 2v2 tournament there would be a 4v4 tournament.
All smashers were to join all 3 tournaments so Master Hand placed them in orders : First would be the 4v4 tournament since it was new and exciting! , after that there would be the 2v2 tournament that is not as popular and finally the classic 1v1 tournament were fighters will get salty, hankerchiefs will be thrown and all that good stuf.
There were some fighters, like Luigi over here for example who werent particulary looking forward to the 4v4 tournament. He just was no able to join a team, since no one really wanted the 'green Mario' to fight with them. And they were already 4 on most teams. He vaguelly reminded himself of the current teams:
Mario, Peach, Link and Zelda also known as team "Heroes" since they managed to get the name before everyone else could,
Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Duck Hunt Duo also known as team "Wild" named by Crazy since no one can actually speak from that team,
Bowser, Bowser Jr, Gannondorf and Wario notoriously known as team "Evil" since they were, you know evil,
Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Charizard and Lucario or team "Pokemon", do I really need to explain this one?
Olimar, Greninja, Meta Knight and Kirby or "Meta Knight and Co" was named by the masked puffball himself. Nobody from his team objected to the no one objects to Meta Knight, NO ONE.
The Bounty Hunters which consist of Samus, Captain Falcon, Fox and Falco,
Dr Mario, Roy, Mewtwo and Sheik, also known as the "Melees" even they don't know how they came up with that name.
Ness, Lucas, Toon Link and Villager, the "Junior Patrol"
The 'Divine' Team or Team Divine consisting of Palutena, Pit, Dark Pit and Rosalina
Mega-Man, Pac-Man, Sonic and Ryu, or the "3rd wheels" they couldn't decide on a name on their own so Crazy, being the thoughtfull hand he was, choose a name for them by himself, withought asking for their opinions since he already knew they would love it.
Marth, Ike, Robin and Lucina, or Team Fire Emblem,
Mr. Game & Watch, Mii, R.O.B. and Wii Fit Trainer also known as the "Miscellaneous" again thanks to Crazy … Aint he a nice gu- hand?
Luigi suddenly realised that there where some fighters that werent on a team yet. As he tried remembering which ones were not on a team he heard an announcement "Fighters Luigi, Kind Dedede, Shulk and Little Mac are requested to visit my office" The speakers went off. Luigi recognized the voice as Master Hand's. He never did figure out how Master Hand spoke since he was, you know, just a hand.
He quickly rushed to Master Hand's office. Once he entered he took a quick look around. It's not like he visited the place regularly. The room wasn't decorated much except the big wooden desk with some comfy looking chairs. Master Hand was behind the desk waiting for Luigi to sit. Shortly after the three other smashers entered the room and sat onto the vacant chairs. Master hand coughed to get their attention, before he started speaking.
"Some of you might have already figured out the reason I called you here, but I'm going to say it anyway." Master Hand started. "Since we are organizing this 4v4 tournament there should be thirteen teams but as you saw there have been only twelve. You four aren't part of a team for multiple reasons that I honestly do not care about and so I-"
Suddenly Crazy Hand popped into existence. Somehow. Crazy isn't it?
"SO YOU ARE THE LEFTOVERS EH?" Crazy Hand started,
"Crazy I think you are being a bit har-"
"SINCE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES WITHOUGHT A TEAM DUE TO THE FACT THAT YER LOSERS, WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO PUT YOU ON DA SAME TEAM WETHER YA LIKE IT AR NAUT!"
"Well that was what I would have said but much less har-"
"ALSO YER GONNA NEED A TEAM NAME CAUSE I NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR YER MATCHES SO THAT I CAN GET A GOOD LAUGH WATCHING YOU FAIL NERDS, IN FACT IM GONNA START LAUGHING RIGHT NAW! MUHUAHAHAHAHA! ONE OF YA CANT EVEN JUMP PROPERLY! YER NOT EVEN GONNA MAKE IT PAST THE FIRST ROUND, AHAHAHAHA-"
He was promptly teleported out of the room by Master Hand.
"Ugh….." Master Hand groaned "He always does that. Back on topic even though he was kind of harsh with his words you will need to-"
"NOT HARSH BRUTALLY HONES-" Crazy got once again teleported outside of the room.
"You will need to come up with a team name. I'll let you decide on it don't worry. A sigh of relief was heard from the Smashers. You have 1 minute. If you haven't come up with a name in the given time, Crazy will be the one to come up with the name and I don't think you would want that."
"WHY NOT?! I CAME UP WITH AWSOME NAMES! I HAVE A LIST RIGHT HERE... LETS SEE... LOSERS, THE NEWBS, DEAD MEAT, HOPELESS -"
"How many more 'interesting' names have you came up with?" Master Hand asked.
"UHH...LET ME COUNT THEM, UH ONE, TWO, FOUR, SIX, SIXTY NINE, HEH, four hundred thousand, give or take three." Crazy promptly answered.
The newfound "team" went outside the room and before long, an awkward silence loomed over them. "So…, Luigi started, how about we each propose a name and see what sticks?"
"I think we should name the team King Dedede and his crew of lackeys" Dedede suggested with a smirk on his beak.
This of course started an argument and while everyone was busy arguing with each other about the name of the team, Master Hand teleported them into his office. "It appears that the 1 minute has passed. Have you come up with a name?" He asked somewhat menacingly. "Since nobody is answering It has sadly come to this. Crazy, give me a name from the list. No that wont do. That is just numbers, this isnt even a word, CRAZY THIS FANFIC IS RATED K+ NO. None of these will do."
"AAAAWWW COME ON!" Teleport.
"Since I don't think you'll want to be in the tourney with a name like LOZERZ so I decided that I'll be naming your team. Your team name from now until the end of the tournament will be….. The Underdogs!"
"I personally expected something more creative from the hand of creation, I mean we don't even HAVE dogs on our team" Dedede stated.
"Underdogs… that name gives me weird vibes," Little Mac said.
"Same here" Luigi replied.
"I for one, kinda like the name" Shulk added.
"Anyways now that you got your name I'll be registering you and do all the nasty papaerwork. Now do me a favor and GET OUT!" And he kicked them out of the room. Even though he is a hand. Those powers of his sure come in HANDY
"So now we are team huh?" Shulk said.
"I guess so" Little Mac answered.
"So do you think we got a chance?" Luigi asked.
"Don't cha worry! Since I am on the team theres NO WAY we can lose" Dedede boasted.
"GUYS. ARE WE IN IT TO WIN IT?" Little Mac yelled.
"YEEAAH!" The others yelled in perfect unison somehow.
"Come on let's check out who are our first opponents." Little Mac said.
"Didn't we just sign in though?" Shulk asked.
"Knowing Master Hand he already had planned for all this" Dedede stated.
"Probably…" Luigi said.
As they passed the corridors of the smash building, also known as the Smash Mansion or whatever they call it, they took a look at their first opponents.
Luigi's eyes became wide as dinner plates.
"T-t-t-team h-h-heroes?" Luigi stuttered.
"Not team heroes dummy! You are looking at the wrong match! We are up against the…"
"Junior…"
"Patrol?"
"AW COME ON THEY PUT US AGAINST THE KIDDIES?! THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PUNCH!" Dedede yelled in agony.
"On the contrary Dedede these 'kiddies' have been in many fights based on the adventures they have been in. I bet they might even give us a run for our coins!" Shulk said
"How do you know about all that? This is your first time here isn't it?" Little Mac asked.
"I researched all the fighters that are participating in this tournament. Figured it would be helpful"
"You need to get out more" Dedede commented.
"I do."
"Liar."
"Anyways I think we should be a bit cautious. Lucas, Toon Link and Ness are all quite skilled fighters. Though my research on Villager showed no past experience in fighting…" Shulk said.
"Anyways let's get going! We are going to have to train for the upcoming match!" Little Mac excitedly said.
"TRAINING?" The other three asked in disbelief.
"What don't you train before a battle? You just say 'LETS GO ON AN ADVENTURE' and take off? No preparations?" Little Mac asked.
"Umm… Kinda… short of… maybe." Luigi answered with a sheepish grin on his face.
"WELL THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE! TO THE TRAINING GROUNDS, AWAY!" He said and took off somehow dragging everyone else with him.
'Well this is going to be interesting…' Luigi thought as he was dragged along with his teammates into the training area.
