A/N: For Star's Letter Challenge. I decided to emerge from my seclusion and pile of college homework to participate (so you'd better be grateful, Star! :P ).

Dear Kumatora,

I am SO sorry I couldn't reply to your letter earlier. There have been a lot of... things happening since I started out for the Smash Manor. For the most part, I've just been wondering what to write. Eventually I decided to start with my latest adventure. Yes, you read that right, I got into a full-blown adventure before I even arrived at the mansion, actually.

I wasn't sure how far I'd travelled when I was searching for the Smash Manor – we're supposed to find the place on our own without any help on the whole massive island, that honestly pissed me off – and found myself in a ruined city, and I found myself attacked by these creepy things called Primids. They formed out of what little like little balls of darkness called Shadow Bugs... but they weren't the creepiest thing. They surrounded me, and then all of the sudden, Porky's massive statue lands behind me! I obviously didn't have a New Year's Eve bomb with me, so I ran for my life with the thing chasing me through the town, trampling Primids and other weird monsters. I thought I'd lost it when it fell into a pool, but it jumped out and came after me again.

Then I tripped over a piece of... I can't remember what it was, I think it was a wire or something. The statue was about to crush me when out of nowhere, another kid with PSI knocks it down with PK Thunder, and then blew it up from the inside with a PK Flash. I was too busy staring at the kid in shock to ask myself why I never thought of that before. And I barely had time to gawk, because right after the statue was wrecked, the REAL Porky came at us in his spider mech. Only the other boy called him Pokey instead... anyway, we worked together and wrecked his machine. We hardly got any time to celebrate, because then some fat guy with a HUGE mouth came out of nowhere and blasted us with some kind of gun... the boy saved me from him, but I got scared and ran... I spent the next hour or so beating myself up for that. I promised that I wouldn't be afraid anymore. The next person I found fighting against the Primids, I stuck with until the end.

I was surprised to find out that he was a Smasher too, a Pokémon Trainer named Red. And I still need to find out what a Pokémon is. Anyway, we fought our way through Primids, Smashers gone bad – like the one who turned my friend into a trophy – and made it all the way to the one behind it all... only to be blown away by his awesome power. It's name was Tabuu, and it looked like a huge human made entirely out of blue bits of data with rainbow wings... or at least that's the best I can describe it. I found myself rescued by the boy – again – but this time we stuck together. He called himself Ness. Together with other Smashers we found, we travelled through a strange, freaky world called "Subspace." As we travelled, I learned that the Primids and their Tabuu were trying to sink everything into Subspace.

When we finally got back to Tabuu, he was about to blow us away again when some kind of blue hedgehog blasted off his wings. But just because he was weakened didn't mean he wasn't freaking tough, but we beat him all the same and set things right. I just wish you were here... it would've been more fun and easier if you could help.

Now that that's all over with, I'm just settling down into the Smash Manor now. It's kind of funny actually, your letter got here before I did. Blame Tabuu if you want to. I read up on your update... it's good to know that Tazmily knows the truth now and are getting on with their real lives, and Dad's exploring the new world like he always wanted. And I'm glad you included your new address in your letter, because I'd be writing to nothing if you didn't.

Well, it's lights-out time, so I have to put this in the mailbox really quick. I miss you Kumatora, I hope I can see you again soon.

Yours Truly,

Lucas

A/N: Since the contest rules are strictly for SSBB characters, I can't include Kumatora's letters. Maybe I'll make bonus chapters for them after the contest is over. There will be more letters, so stay tuned.
