Alright guys. As a tribute to the upcomming SSB Brawl, I will be starting my own fanfiction regarding it. I will try to incorporate characters that we know are comming, but I think I might also try to include those that have been theoried to make it. Like Sonic and such. This writing will be a little more serious than the norm of SSB fics, and it will be written more like a novel. Thanks for reading.

These characters are not of my own, and are all taken from major Video Game publishers.

Also, the first chapter will not seem like super smash brothers. This is because it takes place in Link's universe!! But I can assure you that this fic is definitly headed in the dirrection of a SB fic.

Smash Brothers Brawl (title undetermined)

For a moment he stood there, entranced. A morning sun broke through the trees, creating unique patterns on the ground. Light gusts of wind wisped around and gently played with his hair. Two gushing streams intermixed and sparkled in the sunlight. The forest was beautiful and yet it betrayed him. For in the middle of it all, he sensed that something was horribly wrong.

His determined blue eyes scanned the woods, capturing a clear picture. Someone was out there somewhere. He could sense the eyes that studied him; black, sinister, yet lacking any emotion.

Link knew the stranger was advancing, getting closer every second. A twig snapped from a distance. He unsheathed the master sword. Heart thumping rapidly, prepared for the unexpected.

He waited for a long time. Muscles stiffened out of fear. Eyes where shut in deep concentration, biting his lower lip. Link was still unsure why this scared him so much. He has been with worse odds before; all those dungeons with dead-heads and their bloody screams… yet today of all days, the hair on his neck stood high.

In time, his awareness of the stranger eventually faded. Link slowly relaxed, and sighed. His sword was slid back into place. He admired the sight of two tiny fairies. They fluttered amongst each other playfully. Each with its own set of angelic wings.

He smiled as a leaf broke from a branch, fluttering to the earth in a downward spiral. It marked the first sign of fall. Another leaf fell, this one red in color. Then a brown one, and a yellow one. The variety of colors seemed to rebel against standard green...

Link forced himself out of another trance, realizing that he let his guard down. What was he thinking, gawking over fairies? There was something wrong with these woods. The forest was so beautiful. It was almost hypnotic…

A flock of gulls made a formation in the blue sky. Looking like tiny arrows cutting gracefully through the air. More flocks appeared, making abstract shapes float past him. The sky was never empty.

A few white clouds clustered here and there, but for the most part he saw blue. The sun was beating down now, warming his body, making him drowsy. He smiled big. It was all so peaceful, like a dream— but the pleasure didn't last long.

Every part of his body froze in sudden terror. Link turned around to find himself face to face with the stranger. He let his guard down, twice.

As imagined, the eyes were dark and dead. They didn't show anything. It was as if the person didn't think, or experience any emotion. These were the kind of eyes you expect to see glued on the face of a lifeless doll. Link almost felt pity for the man, until he recognized who it was.

Link whipped out his blade and sliced it at the enemy out of disbelief. The blow was countered by an exact replica of the Master Sword. Only the stranger's blade was an eerie black.

Link followed up using a spin attack, half concentrated on the colorful leaves the moment they met his eyes again. The stranger mirrored his move perfectly. He swung his sword, and again. Every time there was a disappointing clang of metal. The enemy was perfecting his move. Which each swing, it got stronger.
