Author's Note: This is my first time here on Fanfiction-dot-net! True as that may be, it's not my first time writing fanfiction. I want your constructive criticism, so please, give me all you've got!

You'll probably get it right off the bat, but it's worth noting that I'm implying that Tednonin is the planet that most Nintendo games take place on! For instance, The Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, DK Island, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Eagleland, and most other things. This is, of course, barring Metroid, Star Fox, and the obvious 'otherworldly adventures'. However, F-Zero takes place on Earth, far in the future. In addition, (in my opinion and fanfic at least), all the Fire Emblems, save the sequels, such as The Sealed Sword, take place alongside each other, just on different continents.

I don't own any of this! Don't be thinking that I do!

Super Smash Brothers: Return

Prologue: Of Plots and Plans

It had been long in the making, but it was finally constructed. After two previous contacts with the other parts the world and beyond, a new location had to be created for the Super Smash Brothers headquarters. Through the efforts and resources of the Mushroom Kingdom, the Paper Sector, and Flipside, the SSB-BII was created! It is a space station, large enough to hold at least two hundred personnel and over 50 smashers inside its metallic walls.

The historic Smash Mansion would still exist, but mainly as an information center, providing news and other important documents from the surface of the planet to the SSB-BII.

A figure sat in a red couch next to the grand fireplace in the Mansion, as another sat in a green couch opposite. The first figure smiled, the firelight casting a sinister shadow across his face.

"It's-a finally ready, bro, thanks for helping, yous-a did a good job," Mario congratulated his brother, Luigi.

"Ohh, it was nuttin', big bro!" Luigi said humbly, "Anyway, the Princess helped out a lot, too…"

"Yeah," Mario continued, "But you're-a my bro! You deserve somethin' special for-a your help!" The plumber walked to the kitchen to find a slice of the cake that was left over from Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom's birthday party.

"Whoa-hoah!" Luigi cried as his brother came in with the large section of moist lemon cake. "Mario! T-that… that isn't the last…"

"Yup, it-a sure is! And you get to have the honors of eating it, Luigi!"

Luigi smiled tearfully, and gently collected the plate, and pulled off a small section for his brother. "Here, Mario, you should have this part," Luigi offered.

"No, I need my gloves clean for when I launch this thing!"

"Mmph?" The younger Mario Bro asked, his mouth full of cake.

"Oh, you know, the SSB-BII gets launched tonight, remember?"

"Mm…" Luigi nodded in understanding.

"In fact, I'd-a say it launches in about… ah… now!" Mario quietly flicked open a small panel on the arm of his couch, to look upon a series of buttons. With as much vigor as he could muster, he slammed his fist into a large red button in the center of the panel.

"Mwha!?" Luigi sputtered, bits of the precious cake spewing out of his mouth, flecks of it splattering across his brother's face.

Mario wiped the small chunks of dessert off of his face, turned, and said to Luigi, "Yep, the SSB-BII has just been launched from your house," Luigi thought of the mansion that he managed to buy using the money he found in the Boo's Illusion Mansion. "It's now in orbit around our planet of Tednonin," Mario proclaimed.

"B-but… you could've told me that earlier!" Luigi squealed, "Why don't you ever tell me these things!?"

"Luigi," Mario looked confused, "I told you earlier today."

"When I was busy making you spaghetti!" The bro in green squeaked.

"What's done is done, bro," Mario shrugged. "It's-a been launched into space, so that's that."

In the deep reaches of space, a dark presence brooded… Watching silently, this being saw the SSB-BII, lovingly dubbed the Smash Station, enter orbit around planet Tednonin. The entity rubbed its gloved hands together, despite its lack of arms.

"So it has begun," The Ancient Minister said to his hands in his thin, distorted voice. He was speaking through a mask that covered his entire face save for a slot through which two yellow spheres burned. An almost triangular figure, the Minister rested upon a floating platform, his green robes billowing out behind him. "You, Right, you're the master of this operation. Keep an eye on them, if any rules are broken… iDestroy them."/i

"It shall be done, Minister," The Master Hand replied in a very proper British accent, and floated off towards the Smash Station.

"You, Left, you're staying with me, you're not going crazy on my watch," the Minister chastised his remaing hand.

"BHWAHAW! So, you think you can leave me to die?! I only destroyed a few of our battlecruisers!" The Crazy Hand laughed insanely.

"Hmm… Left, I'll keep you here for when I need you. You're Right's backup," the Minster cooed to his left hand.

"Neahiiiii!" The Ancient Minister's left hand screamed.

The Minister touched Crazy to the side of his head, where an ear should've been. "Anglar!"

A dastardly voice bubbled from the earpiece, "Yeesss… My Lord Minister?"

"Ready the Subspace Army, I may have need of them shortly. There is conflict brewing in the universe, I aspire to make good use of it. Should anyone break any of my rules, send the eighteenth division, and have Zazan head it," the Subspace Leader chuckled.

"It… shall be done… Ready the Zazanga, oh, and my thanks for saving my ship and I from that hole in Venom. Anglar out," The Anglar Emperor cut the transmission.

"Are you sure this will work, Subspace being?" A voice asked from behind the Minister.

"You're scheme will go as planned, space beast. Have no fear, your conquest will take place," The Ancient Minister said quietly.

"For your sake, I hope you're right," the space beast threatened, and flew off, leathery wings beating in a perfect rhythm.

"Heh… what a fool, leaving his troops in the hands of fate… That being should take more pride in his soldiers. But then, they're not much to be proud of, eheh…" The Subspace Ruler thought.

"IIIIIDIIIOOOOT! AHAHAHA!" Crazy Hand howled.

"I'd smack you if I had another hand here…"

Two meteorites rent the night above the otherwise gentle kingdom of Hyrule. The princess of the realm, Zelda, was watching from her tower, as a great bang, as if from thunder, had split the silence. In her shock, she stepped backwards, her pristine, white dress fluttering somewhat from the motion, though her purple top remained stoic upon her bosom.

"That's… odd… there's not supposed to be a meteor shower for well over eight months now," The Hylian Princess thought. "There… By Nayru!"

One of the meteors impacted into Death Mountain, and a deafening explosion rung out, as if from a bell. Even from this distance, Zelda could hear the cacophony. Lights flicked on in Kakariko Village, and though she could not hear it, Zelda knew that the townsfolk were screaming in terror and likely running around like headless cucoos.

"The Gorons are up there," she thought worriedly, "What will become of them?"

Then, suddenly, a soldier, steel blade in his right hand, burst into Princess Zelda's tower chamber!

"Your Highness!" he gasped. "King Irunus wishes to see you, he says it's urgent!

She glanced out the window at the cloud of smoke billowing from Death Mountain. "Father wants to see me? Is it about that comet?" She asked nervously.

"You mean that one?" the sentry asked, pointing at the cloud. "No, it's about the smaller one."

"Smaller one!?" Zelda was truly puzzled now.

"Yes! Come, follow me!"

Zelda tugged on the top of her dress, giving her room to move quicker, and followed the guard down the spiral staircase.

"Sir, what is your name?" Zelda asked abruptly.

The guard, taken aback, choked and almost went toppling down the stairs. He managed to recover, though, and settled for only slipping down three steps. "Oh, you must pardon me, princess, I wasn't expecting that. My name is Robin, I'm in the Royal Guard."

"Thank you, Sir Robin," Zelda smiled.

The guardsman blushed, "It's just Robin, princess," he said as he hurried through the corridors of Hyrule Castle. "Anyway, we're almost there, please keep up the pace!"

"I'll try, Robin," Zelda said as she ran to keep up with him.

As they hurried up the floors of Hyrule Castle, retainers and other guards stared as Zelda ran by.

"Hey Rob, you-!" One senior guard cried.

"Sorry! No time!" Robin replied.

"Here we are, princess," her escort said, "Here's the throne room, but you knew that already, didn't you!" Zelda laughed with the soldier.

He sighed, "Alright, I'm off!" and the guard zipped back down.

"Goddesses, he's fast…" Zelda laughed as she walked through the doors to the throne room.

"Ah, Zelda, you're here!" King Irunus Stefan Hyrule greeted, "I'm glad you're here, for I have grave news." The king looked gravely at his daughter, worry creasing his brow. He wore the standard garb for the kings of Hyrule: a billowing red cloak topped with a massive white collar. It was like a frilled lizard; all his clothing was layered and massive to make him look larger and more imposing than he really was.

"What is it, father? Does it have something to do with that meteor?" Zelda asked.

"Yes… and no," Irunus answered cryptically. "You see, another, smaller, meteor impacted not far from us. To be precise, in the Faron Woods, near Ordona Province."

"Ordon… Link!" the princess gasped.

"Yes, no doubt our hero has gone to investigate this disturbance. I want you to take Sarcus and join with Link in the woods." The king was referring to his daughter's horse, a fine, white steed by the name of Sarcus.

Zelda looked out the window in the direction of Faron Province. "Very well, I should be there by daybreak."

"That's my girl," Irunus smiled.

A hiss of steam, a glimpse of the crimson glow of magma, and a reptilian creature crawled out of the crater in Death Mountain. His head was grotesque by human standards, and where hands should be, vile pincers opened and closed in anticipation. Several weapons were slung over his back: a scythe and countless firearms.

"Sssahhh!" Static crackled through his voice, "Kkkxxxx, come out you scum, let's get moving! The General, geoform 187, won't be pleased if we're slow!"
