A/N: I want to thank the writer Paradigm of Writing for suggesting this idea to me (Go read his stuff). I don't know what the outcome of this will be, but I'll see to it in the future maybe. All characters belong to Nintendo, so don't sue me. This will take place in the universe of the newest edition to Smash Bros., Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Other than that, here's the thing I wrote.

The Puppet

Chapter 1

It was just like any other day in the Smash Universe. Fights were fought in the Smash Tournament, acquaintances were made, and Yoshi was probably eating all the food from the food supply in the Smash Mansion. It was all happy times for the Smashers, seeming as though nothing could go wrong, you know? However, these happy times would all come to a sudden stop, as something very terrifying would arise, and I'm not talking about Wario eating garlic. Now, sit back, listener, as I tell you of how "it" all began with a superstition.

Samus had been around the Smash Tournament since the first time it started 15 years ago. She was a pretty strong fighter for someone like herself; she'd always get a top spot in the tournament. But then again, she is a bounty hunter who fought space pirates. Anyway, as the years went by, she saw many new faces enter the tournament, only for them to leave and seemingly never return. It didn't matter to her; she was always the distant type of person, only exchanging a few words with someone before going somewhere else. However, there was an exception she made to this rule, other than Pikachu, and it came in the form of an angel.

Around the time of the tournament held seven years ago, an angel by the name of Pit came in as a new fighter. He was a really happy guy and all-around good person, so he was warmly welcomed by the other fighters in an instant. In fact, this guy's happy-go-lucky attitude creeped Samus out a little bit, so she decided to avoid him whenever she could. This didn't work out as well as she planned, as Pit was always near Samus in some way. When they first met, he'd always tried to start conversations with her, ask her to join him in activities he was in, and even challenging her to a match, to which she would decline. Eventually, she gave into him, and started to become more acquainted with the angel. She then found out, that he wasn't as bad as she originally thought, and soon became comfortable around him. But, to this day, Samus kept her guard up 24/7 as Pit still made her have superstitions about him. These eventually turned out to becoming real, but in a way she would've never wanted it to.

The new tournament last year was just around the corner, and everyone was excited for it. The new fighters were coming into the mansion while the veteran fighters welcomed them. As always, Samus was standing in the corner of the room, gazing upon the newcomers coming in. She had never seen fighters like these before: a boy wielding a strange red blade, a duck and a dog, a blue frog, and… Marth? Last time she checked, Marth was in the tournament since the one held 14 years ago… with shorter hair at that. She shook the thought off, and continued to watch the fighters come in, when suddenly,

"Hey, Samus!"

Samus jumped and looked behind her to see that familiar white angel, Pit, standing behind her, with a really big smile on his face – but not the happy kind. He was also very jumpy as well as though he drank five gallons of Little Mac's energy drink. It was… off-putting to her.

"Ugh, don't just pop up behind me like that. That scared the bloody Chozo out of me." Scolded Samus.

"Sorry, ma'am, I'm just really excited." Said Pit cheerfully.

"And why would that be?" asked Samus. At this, Pit looked like he was about to explode from his "excitement".

"Two of the newcomers coming in are some of my friends! One of them is actually someone I serve, Lady Palutena. She has long green hair and is a Goddess. She treats me like I'm a child though," pouted Pit, "but that doesn't matter. The other one's named Dark Pit. He looks exactly like me, except he wears all black and is a clone of me. He acts like he hates me on the outside, but I know deep down he really likes me. And…"

Samus stopped listening and continued to watch the incoming newcomers as Pit rambled on about his two friends. She saw that most of the newcomers came into the mansion, and that only two more were coming from what she heard. She was right, as two figures moved into the mansion, one a woman with a staff and long green hair and the other an angel wearing all black that looked like the splitting image of Pit. Samus recognized these two to be the Palutena and Dark Pit Pit talked about. She turned around to tell Pit that his friends were here, but stopped as Pit was whispering something to himself, as if he was in a trance. It went something along the lines of:

"…Oh yes… I will certainly make him regret ever coming out to this world, and I'll send him back to where he belongs: to the Underworld where he will burn alive to death… And I'll have everyone here join him… But they will die in their own ways… Oh yes… What a beautiful plan I have thought of. Now… All I need is the perfect moment to strike and get away with it. Oh yes… How it will be a fun time indeed… For me anyway…"

Samus instantly thought this was weird, especially for the angel too. When she heard him talk to people, she never once heard him say something as creepy as this. She had enough of this, and decided to put him back into reality.

"Uh, Pit?"

Pit suddenly snapped up and looked around. He saw Samus in front of him trying to tell him something. "Oh uh, hi, Samus! Sorry, I must've been daydreaming while standing up again! Anyway, as I was saying…"

"Stop, don't say anything. Your friends are here." Samus said.

"REALLY?! Thanks for telling me Samus!" Pit exclaimed. He suddenly ran over, passing Samus, to greet his two "friends". Samus watched him go, but then looked away again, as all of the newcomers were now here. She closed her eyes to gather her thoughts on the new tournament.

"… Oh yes… I will get all of them, and take them all out, one by one, for what they did to me. If they think they'll get the easy way out, they'll see. I will never show them mercy.… Oh yes…"

Samus opened her eyes almost immediately. She looked back to Pit, who was talking with the two people called Palutena and Dark Pit. But, she could've sworn Pit said something to her; she just heard him say something! To not let this go any further, Samus shrugged the thought off, and saw Pikachu enter the room. So, she went over to him, not wanting to seem like a loner.

Pit was now where Samus was standing, as he had to supposedly excuse himself to do something.

"Man, I sure am glad Palutena and Dark Pit are here," said Pit to himself, "…That will make my job so much easier… Get ready, my first victims… And let's see how long you can fight… Oh yes…"

"Pit, are you coming back?" a voice Pit knew as Palutena's called.

"Oh, yes, Lady Palutena! I'll be right there." Replied Pit.

A/N: Okay, that's done so, what'd you think? This is going to be my first thing that isn't a one-shot! I'm not used to writing horror, but I've seen enough scary things to know what to write. So, please R&R if you want. Again, thanks to Paradigm of Writing for suggesting this, go read his things. And so, see you in the next, in this case, chapter!
