Hey everyone! This is my first SSB fanfiction so I don't have much to say except enjoy! It would also be great to receive some feedback.^^
Prologue
His screams fell on deaf ears as he watched the world collapse.
The entire forest around them was shaking. As he watched, a tree, twisting and breaking, was lifted into the air, uprooted by some invisible force and thrown in his direction. It hurtled across space towards him and just when he thought the impact would shatter all of his bones, just when it was about to hit him, it was suddenly brought to a stop and snapped in half like a twig.
He reached out and felt the invisible force field that was surrounding him at arm's length. It wouldn't break, not from the outside or the inside, and he was forced to helplessly watch as pieces of debris whipped around killing all those who were not inside the portals. Space itself was becoming warped and the distant mountains shook.
He looked down to see a glowing blue disk beneath his feet. He tried to step off it but the invisible wall was holding him back. With all his might, he attacked at it, but it stayed stubbornly intact, shielding him from all harm as black material engulfed the world outside. He could do nothing but watch. Watch and scream his horror to no one who could hear.
Though he was stiff from shock, he could make out a tingling sensation spreading throughout his body. It wasn't new to him; he knew exactly what was happening. The portal has activated and the teleportation will soon take place. He knew he won't be coming back. And he wasn't ready yet. No… no. He needed more time, needed to save everyone.
He could see the faces of his friends. Some were crying. Others were pounding their fists helplessly against their own invisible prison. A few were attacking it with all that they had though it still refused to budge. Some were lying still on their portal, not moving at all.
Master Hand was still outside in the middle of the vortex, conjuring up the spell with the last of his strength. He knew what Master Hand was trying to do and he'd be damned if he just sat here and watched. He punched the portal walls until his hands bled, refusing to believe that he was losing feeling in his entire body for that meant that the portal was working and that he didn't have much time left.
He suddenly realized he was starting to disappear. No… He could see his friends starting to disappear.
No… no…
How could it end like this?
There was something different about the despair that enveloped him as his aching body crumpled to the ground, utterly and pathetically defeated. Never had he felt such crushing grief in his life. Never so void of hope. There had always, always, been some hope. So what had happened this time?
Just when he accepted that there was nothing left he could do, he lifted his head to get one last glimpse of the ruined world. Smash Kingdom. He'll never be here again.
His last sight was of Master Hand, who, after seeing that his work was completed and that all the Smashers would be safe, now lay still on the ground.
His last thought was Master Hand's last words.
Continue to carry on your own legends.
And then, he faded away in a flash of light as the outside world was sucked into its doom.
